Chapter 736 Yang Ming’s Policy
"So many..." Looking at the table full of delicious food, Xiao Juer's face turned bitter.
"Don't you like it? Do you want me to change a few dishes for you?"
"No, it's just that as a model, I need to strictly control my diet..."
Yang Ming suddenly understood: "I see, then just eat whatever you want, and I'll take care of the rest. You know, I come from a low-income, undocumented background, and I hate wasting food. I usually eat every grain of rice in the bowl."
So Yang Ming watched Xiao Juer take a small bite of each dish.
"That's what you said. We have to finish all the food and not waste any of it." Xiao Juer blinked her big eyes and looked at Yang Ming cunningly.
"...I'd better pack it up and take it home to eat slowly later."
After dinner, Yang Ming took out the gifts he had prepared and stuffed them into small packages for Xiao Juer.
"You're... exaggerating, aren't you?" Xiao Ju'er was a little flattered. "I guess you'll treat your girlfriend like this in the future."
"If it were really for my girlfriend, I wouldn't be so attentive," Yang Ming said frankly. "Ula'la Island is in ruins and urgently needs to restore order and revitalize the economy."
"Although order has been largely restored on Ula'ula Island thanks to my efforts, to revitalize the economy, we must explore other markets and transform Ula'ula Island into an industrial powerhouse and a tourist destination. As the actual controller of Ula'ula Island, it's only natural for me to curry favor with you, a major star in Unova."
"You really are... Well, I'll just do as you say. I will definitely give you a surprise when I get back," Xiao Juer sighed softly.
Seeing that Xiao Juer was so easily persuaded by him, Yang Ming was overjoyed. He no longer cared about what "surprise" Xiao Juer had in store for him and directly gave her a pair of Z-pure electric crystals that he had carefully prepared.
"I definitely can't let you make this trip in vain. Consider this pair of pure Z crystals of electric properties as your reward."
"Ah? You just stuffed such a valuable thing on me so casually?" Xiao Juer hesitated, "And I remember you haven't given Fenglu any Z Pure Crystal yet."
"Of course Fenglu gets a share too," Yang Ming turned around and took out two more small packages. "This pair of poison-attribute Z-pure crystals belongs to Homiga, while the flying-attribute Z-pure crystals are for Fenglu. Please pass them on to Fenglu and Homiga for me."
"I always feel like you're treating me like a postman..." Xiao Juer sighed, "Okay, I'll help you deliver the things."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Juer, Yang Ming began to carry out his next reform plan.
First, he began to purchase tree fruits on a large scale on Ula Ula Island. Yang Ming said that he was willing to purchase all the tree fruits that the residents could not sell at a reasonable price, and this policy would be implemented as long as he lived.
This policy was highly praised by the residents of Ula Ula Island. People praised the King of Chaos as one of the rare wise leaders of Ula Ula Island in ancient and modern times, and they wished that Yang Ming would stay here forever and become the real king of the island.
Yang Ming implemented this policy after careful consideration. The Alola region was rich in fruit, leading to a significant oversupply in the fruit market. A large amount of high-quality fruit could not be sold and had to rot.
Yang Ming's purchase of these fruit trees not only helped the farmers find a market, but also addressed his own enormous future demand for fruit trees. With the expansion of the Hezhong market imminent, both Baofen and energy cubes required a large amount of fruit trees as raw materials. With the cheap fruit trees these farmers provided, the raw material problem was immediately solved, and Yang Ming didn't have to expend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources on planting fruit trees.
Of course, to complete this initiative, a large amount of start-up capital is needed, which was achieved through Yang Ming's previous efforts.
After solving the employment problem of the residents, Yang Ming began to reform his army. He began to distribute Rocket Team gear among the troops and registered them as Rocket Team members.
In this way, these people who are ostensibly members of Team Rocket but are actually Yang Ming's loyal guards can use the function of Team Rocket's gears to exchange Pokémon they don't need for points, and use the points to exchange for the items they need.
Previously, all rewards and punishments in the army had to be decided by Yang Ming and his confidants. This was naturally no problem when the team was small, but as Yang Ming unified Ula Ula Island, his men expanded to 15,000 people. It was no longer realistic to reward his subordinates personally, so Yang Ming directly introduced the Rockets' points system, allowing his subordinates to exchange resources based on their own abilities.
Of course, as the branch chief of the Rockets' Alola branch, Yang Ming has the power to reward and punish everyone. He can promote meritorious members and demote those who make mistakes. He can also issue tasks and reward points.
In the eyes of the Rockets, Yang Ming was equivalent to recruiting 15,000 subordinates for them, which was enough to shut up those who thought Yang Ming was incompetent; and on Ula'ula Island, these "Rockets members" who appeared out of thin air were actually only loyal to Yang Ming. They didn't even wear the Rockets uniforms, and their style was very different from that of the Rockets. Except for using the Rockets' system to exchange resources, they had almost nothing to do with the Rockets. They were all Yang Ming's people.
"I never thought that I would become the 'bankrupt version of Zuo Liangyu', the biggest warlord in the Rockets." Yang Ming sighed, but for the current situation, Yang Ming felt that he was justified in being a warlord. After all, not only did he fight against Bixias alone in Johto for a year, but he also saved Sakaki's illegitimate son from Bixias. With such a great achievement, it is really no problem for him to be a warlord who only obeys orders and not propaganda.
Not to mention that he recruited all his own troops, and Team Rocket didn't provide any help other than some funding.
Yang Ming was formulating policies all night long when the little princess Aserola, who he had previously arranged to stay on Akala Island, suddenly found him and claimed that she wanted to tell him a big news.
"Uncle Merdan wrote to me and said he would resign as the king of Ula Ula Island and let Yang Ming inherit his position." Aserola puffed out her chest and announced proudly.
This news shocked Yang Ming. As the king of the island, Merdan suddenly chose to abdicate and passed the position to himself, whom he had never met. This news was not reliable no matter how he looked at it.
He also knew that the prerequisite for becoming the King of the Island was to gain the recognition of the Guardian God of the Island. However, the Guardian Gods of the Island were not in the Alola region now, so it was impossible to gain the recognition of the Guardian God of the Island. How could a new King of the Island appear?
Confused, Yang Ming decided to read Merdan's letter to find out the whole story.
