Overseas archipelago.

Fifty kilometers away from Kumlinge, Snowscale Island.

Ten years ago, Snow Scale Island was originally a wild island with poisonous snakes and wild beasts gathered in the mountains. However, due to its flat terrain and fertile land, it was not far from Kumlinge, and was included in the list of agricultural islands with development value by observers of the expeditionary monster army.

Therefore, the fierce and dangerous beasts on the Snow Scale Island were cleaned up by the more fierce army of monsters, leaving only a safe island for later logistics personnel to develop.

Due to the harsh living environment of the Xuelin clan, the previous clan leader actively responded to the call of Baibao and became the first fishman clan to relocate to this agricultural island. This unknown island was named for this.

The naming rights were seized by the fishman, which made the cavemen tribe who had only been late for one day, heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

In this way, the fishman clan and the caveman tribe, which were originally inseparable, became neighbors under the arrangement of Baibao.

The fish people from the Xuelin clan established a new gathering place in the coastal areas - Xuelin Village, and vigorously developed marine aquaculture, becoming a member of many agricultural production bases in Baibao.

Time has proved how wise the decision of the previous generation of patriarchs was.

With a safe environment and sufficient food, the Xuelin Clan continued to grow and grow. In just a few years, the population soared three times. It was not until Baibao issued a notice to hand over the excess fish eggs to the organization that the population growth rate of the Xuelin Clan gradually decreased.

But the remaining population is enough to upgrade Xuelin Village to Xuelin Town.

Later, Baibao issued a series of orders, including monogamy, talent testing system, etc.

In short, after the Snow Scale clan followed the White Castle, the lives of the Snow Scale Fish people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In this way, the fish people from the Xuelin Clan lived peacefully for ten years under the protection of Baibao, and the price was 30% of the harvest every year. According to the village chief who returned from Bailin City to participate in pre-job training, this behavior is called tax collection.

Because of his strength, Tim Xuelin became a part-time porter at the dock. Every year, it transports taxes from Xuelin Town to the ships of the tax collection team.

At the beginning, Tim didn't understand what tax was, and he didn't dare to ask.

Because the fishmen who came to collect taxes had their weapons shining brightly and were scary. Moreover, they also brought five big turtles as big as fishmen. It is said that they were called the copper-backed crocodile turtle.

Later, after being forced to learn language and basic knowledge, Tim roughly understood the meaning of taxation.

Taxation is an essential material basis for supporting the Baibao Fishman army and protecting the people's living and working in peace and contentment.

emmm..., this is what the teacher who teaches fishman civilians said.

According to Tim's understanding, it is protection fee.

This year, Tim Snow Lin transported bundles of dried sea fish and kelp to the ship as before, and then found the foreman on the dock to pay for the wages. In this way, it could get three silver coins in one day, which was enough for its family to live for a week.

But today, unlike before, Tim was about to leave after receiving wages from the foreman, but the foreman, Uncle Tashi, called it.

"Tim, would you like to go with the transport team? They recruit porters and the offer is very high, with five silver coins a day."

"Ah?! Five! I'm willing, of course I'm willing."

When Tim nodded quickly when he heard that there were five silver coins a day, he said, "You know, there is not a job at the dock at any time, and even one silver coins a day is much more cost-effective than staying at home and farming."

"But I have to go back and say to Lisan, if I disappear, it will worry."

The foreman waved his hand.

"I'll tell you when I go back, so as not to leave in a hurry. Many people are rushing to do such a good thing. If I have the strength of you, I will go too. Moreover, it is said that this time the transportation team is from the new capital of Kumlinge. I really envy you."

Even though Tim was lonely and ignorant, he had heard of the rumors about the new capital. Now he had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes and it suddenly became excited.

"Then thank you Uncle Tashi."

Tim ran excitedly to the wooden boards that were on the edge of the boat and jumped onto the deck.

On the deck, a fish soldier holding a spear saw a large fish man running towards him and hurriedly met him.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Tim immediately stopped, looked at the soldier holding a spear and said with a smirk.

"Oh, sir, I heard from Uncle Taxi, you porters."

The soldier looked at Tim and thought that this big guy was indeed a qualified porter, pointing to the cabin.

"Where can I find Captain Moni, a lucky boy, if we hadn't had a fishman sailor who got drunk in the middle of the night and fell into the sea and disappeared, this job wouldn't be your turn."

Following the soldiers' guidance, Tim came to the captain's room, pushed open the empty door and walked in, and saw a one-eyed zombie sitting on a chair. It was immediately stunned by the zombie's handsomeness.

I saw a tall zodiac with a circle of red hair around his neck, wearing a captain's suit, a captain's hat and skull eye mask, sitting on a chair, a momentum of no anger came towards him.

The werewolf captain Moni Red Mane was calculating the total amount of food. Suddenly, a big fishman pushed open the door, broke in, and stared at himself in a daze.

Isn’t this guy not seeing a werewolf before?

Mani couldn't help frowning, leaned back on the chair, looked at the fishman with her hands, and said in a dissatisfaction.

"Strange fishman, are you doing something?"

Tim woke up from a dream and said in a panic.

"You... are you Captain Moni? I heard that your ship needs a porter."

Mani looked up and down at the fishman in front of him and came to the same conclusion as the soldier.

"Yes, we do need a porter. Once we arrive at Coomlinge, we need to move the supplies to the copper-backed snapping turtle back and then transport them to the construction site in the new capital, with five silver coins a day."

"On the return trip, we can send you back to the dock in Xuelin Town, or take you to the coast of Xuelin Island, and swim back by yourself, and sign this contract if you agree."

The gnoll took out a standard contract from the drawer and handed it to the fishman.

Tim picked up the contract and Tobaibao forced every resident to learn the basic text. Tim understood that a contract with black and white text is fine.

Captain Gnoves - Mani waited patiently. As a senior officer who retired from the army, he transferred to the logistics department to serve as captain. He still has this patience.

Not long after, the fishman finished reading the contract.

"No problem! I'll sign!"

Tim picked up the quill on the table and signed his name at the end of the contract.

The captain of the gnoll put the contract again, put it in the drawer, stood up and shook hands with the fishman.

"Welcome to join the Cuttlefish!"
