Wang: "Now you can't even gather people? Just say what I said, and get another people."
The clerk looked embarrassed: "Although there are nearly two thousand people on the island, most of them are women and children."
Wang: "Then let's organize the women! I saw those big sisters yesterday, they are all strong and able to work."
Secretary: "What if there is no one to look after all these children? There are saws, chisels and axes everywhere on the island. If children play with them and hurt themselves, what should we do?"
Wang thought for a while, then clapped his hands: "That's easy to say."
He pulled out the talking stone: "Rosalie!"
Rosalie's response came almost immediately: "What's wrong? What happened upstairs? I saw Xiaobai came back covered in mud and was pushed into the bathtub by Elizabeth."
Wang: "It's nothing serious, she was just playing with the kid. Let's talk business. Let Hasher mobilize the women to work. Leave the children's affairs to me. Just say that I, the Lord of the Floating City, will tell stories to the children!"
Rosalie: "Huh? Is it really okay? Children are very naughty, especially the children of the Pelican Gang. You know, there are basically few of them who are well-educated and well-behaved."
Wang: "It's okay, as long as my story is interesting."
Rosalie: "Ah...your story is indeed interesting, but that's only for me and Elizabeth. Children may not find your story interesting."
Wang thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll control them in other ways."
Rosalie: "Okay, the residents trust you now anyway."
**
About thirty minutes later, hundreds of children gathered in front of the disabled heavy defense unit in the center of the floating island.
The buzzing sound created by these children was as if there was an entire apiary here.
Rosalie also came and stood beside Wang and asked, "How do you plan to control so many children and prevent them from causing trouble?"
The king silently took out a lit incense stick.
Rosalie: "What? Wait, are you going to cast that spell..."
Rosalie had a full aristocratic education, which included identifying spells that might be used for assassination.
Wang: "That's right, that spell. Hypnotic pattern!"
After he finished chanting the incantation, the incense pops disappeared, and then the whole venue fell silent.All the children fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Rosalie: “You…”
Before she could finish her words, she fell headfirst into the king's arms.
Wang: "Wait a minute, why are you asleep? You still have work!"
I found two problems. I used to think that the Druid's water making spell was a magic trick, but today when I checked whether the Druid's magic trick had light magic, I found that the Druid's water making spell was a magic trick. In other words, Xiaobai can solve the water problem as long as he works a little harder. After thinking about it, it's easy to change. After all, it's for a thousand people, and Xiaobai can't make water every morning. So he still has to build a machine to extract water.
The second problem is that the hypnotic pattern has a total life value limit, which I removed here and turned it into a large-scale group hypnosis. As for letting the naughty children sleep together, I will write later that it will cause them to explode at night, so we have to come up with a better way in the future, using socialized upbringing to manage children and liberate women's productivity.
Chapter 234: City Lord's Substitute Day
Xiao Bai happened to come up at this time, freshly washed and wearing new clothes. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "Then you can take over today. It's such a simple thing."
Wang: "What are you talking about? This is hypnosis, not confusion or Tasha's laughter. Just inflicting physical damage will wake her up."
Xiao Bai: "Hey, she's your 'baby' who has slept with you so many times, can you do that to her?"
Wang thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's a little hard to start."
As Wang said this, he suddenly had an idea and gently rubbed Rosalie's eye sockets with his hands.
Xiaobai: "What are you doing? Suddenly getting horny for the eye socket? That won't work!"
Wang showed Xiaobai the foundation that he had rubbed off his hands: "She used makeup to cover up the dark circles under her eyes. Forget it, let her and the children have a good sleep."
At this time, Hasher's exclamation reached the king's ears: "What's going on? What happened to the children?"
Wang: "Don't worry, I put them to sleep."
Hasher slapped his thigh and said, "What are you doing? If you let them sleep now, they will make a scene at night! I know you want to get the women to work to speed up the process, but this won't work! Is this hypnosis or confusion? Can you wake them up with a slap?"
Wang: “Yes.”
Hasher immediately turned to the women he had brought with him and said, "Hurry up, get all the little ancestors up. Then you guys can lead them and find something for them to do."
Wang: “Who are these people?”
Hashir: "She is a nun from the Sunday school. She usually helps take care of the children. The mothers feel relieved when she is with them."
One of the nuns looked at the king and said, "The city lord actually wanted to use hypnosis to quiet the children. Little did he know that at their age, they are as energetic as sled dogs. If you hold them down now, they will vent their energy at other times. You should have come to us in the first place."
Wang: "You are right. I didn't know there were experts like you."
Xiaobai: "It's so rare that your decision was wrong."
Wang: "I'm not a god... Besides, gods can make mistakes, they're just powerful mortals. And my teacher said that you should be overjoyed when you find a mistake, because it means you've found a point that can be improved, a point where you can make progress."
Xiao Bai opened his mouth wide: "What your teacher said makes a lot of sense. So now the children are handed over to the former nun, and Dabao No. 2 has gone to sleep. Who will do what Dabao No. 2 should have done?"
Wang: "I am the only one who can do this. I am worried about leaving it to Elizabeth. At least I can ensure that things can be carried out in a more effective way."
Xiao Bai: "Are you saying that using hypnosis to raise children to this extent is effective?"
Wang: "Just tell me if it is effective or not!"
Xiao Bai put his hands on his hips and said, "Okay, I'll watch you, and when you start messing around I'll go wake up Da Bo No. 2."
"Well." They both looked towards the new voice and saw Oscar timidly raise his hand. "I received the same education as my sister, but I don't have the practical experience of managing an organization like my sister. But I should have no problem being a staff officer."
Wang: "Okay, you be the advisor. Let's get started!"
He clenched his fist with full force, and then a question occurred to him.
"Wait! Where do I start?"
Oscar took out a notebook and said, "This is my sister's memo. How about... do it according to the memo?"
Wang took the memo and said, "On August 29th, we will inspect the whole island in the morning and check the work arranged yesterday. What was the work arranged yesterday?"
Wang turned a page, frowned at the densely written notes, and after a long pause, he said, "The handwriting is quite nice."
Oscar said proudly: "My sister's handwriting was approved by the Grand Secretary. And it was a blind selection, the Grand Secretary didn't know it was my sister's handwriting at the time."
Xiao Bai frowned: "When you put it that way, I began to think that maybe the university scholar knew about it."
Wang: "But the handwriting is indeed beautiful. Okay, let's check each project one by one according to this memorandum. Marika, Rosalie is in your hands."
Xiaobai: "Let's go! Wait, where is Marika from?"
Marika: "I've always been here. How come no one except the king noticed me? This is so disappointing. Leave Rosalie to me."
Wang handed Rosalie, who had been leaning on his shoulder, to Marika, and snapped his fingers: "This time we really clear the way!"
Xiaobai: “Let’s go!”

The first item is a simple cargo lifting device connected to the shore.
Wang arrived at the construction site of the device and saw members of the Pelican Gang erecting half of the mast and fixing it on the ruins that already existed on the floating island.
The drawings of the device were nailed to the stone wall nearby so that the workers could check them at any time.
Wang looked at the blueprint and asked, "Can you understand this blueprint?"
An old worker laughed: "We have all been to school for a few days, so we can recognize the words on the drawings. Besides, we have been doing manual labor for so many years, so we can recognize the drawings even if there are no words on them."
Wang: "Oh, I see. It looks like a simple zipline device."
The old worker replied, "Yes, put it on this pole, put a pulley on the top, and fix a capstan here, then you can send things from the shore to the island. But, Lord Mayor, this island is too high. Are the cliffs on both sides really necessary? Where do the invaders come from?"
Wang smiled and said, "We are not invaders. We are here to prevent the water from washing away the soil on the island."
The old worker said: "Oh, you are worried about that. That's easy. Plant a circle of trees around the island and put in a row of stone railings. When the trees grow well and live long, we won't have to worry about the soil being washed away by water!"
Wang: “We did think of driving in wooden stakes to prevent them from being washed away, but we didn’t think of planting trees.”
The old worker said: "Plant trees, and then let the druid cast a spell to make the trees grow big all of a sudden, and that's it! Then we can do without this 'cliff' now, and we won't have to work so hard to pull the goods up. Look at how big this winch is now, if it's not this big, it won't be able to pull it up."
The king looked at Xiaobai, and Xiaobai naturally looked at Oscar, as if Oscar was the druid.
King: "We druids specialize in animals. Did you eat bird meat yesterday?"
The old worker said, "That's right. We are discussing what the beans you planted taste like. Someone swore that after the beans were planted, everyone ate them every day and their poop was in the shape of beans."
Wang: "You can't eat too many beans at once. You'll be full if you eat just one."
"Hey, Lord Mayor, even if it's you, you can't lie. We've all seen those beans when we were growing them. They're only that small. How can they fill us up?"
Xiaobai: "Yes, I guarantee it."
Wang: "That's something I brought out from my home...the magic tower. You can't use the common sense of this plane to judge it. Anyway, you will understand once you plant it."
Oscar: "Well, is it time for the next one?"
Wang: "Oh, right. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any problems, bring them up now and we will solve them. If there are no problems, we will move on to the next point."
Old worker: "Hey, you're here to inspect in person. Why isn't that beautiful and kind princess here?"
Wang: "She was so tired that she had dark circles under her eyes. She had to put on such thick powder to cover them up! So we let her go to sleep and I took over."
A young worker joked: "Aren't the dark circles under her eyes caused by you playing too much?"
The old worker's expression changed drastically, and he immediately scolded, "Shut up! How can you talk to the city lord like that? The city lord is a very powerful wizard! You'd better be careful or you will get into trouble!"
Wang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these."
"Yes, you are magnanimous," the old worker scolded the boy who just spoke rudely, "Why don't you thank the city lord for his magnanimity?"
The scolded worker nodded obediently.
Wang was shocked and changed the subject back to the beginning: "I don't think you need any help here. Come on. Try to finish the work today. There is still a lot of cargo to be transported on the shore. Let's go to the next place."
"Take care!" The old worker bowed respectfully.
**
The second inspection location is the cargo classification stack on the shore.
Because the zipline for transporting goods has not been built yet, the only way to transport goods to the island now is by small boats and cranes on the shore, and only light goods can be carried.
So Rosalie planned a warehouse, classified the goods, and sent those that were small in size and in short supply on the island first.
