The salted fish king of the pirate world

Chapter 145

Under the banner of the world government, there were originally 170 member countries.However, after Li Guapi's United Nations was established, many member countries in Beihai submitted their withdrawal documents.So now there are only 142 franchise countries that belong to the world government.

To become a member of the franchise country, the requirements are very simple.As long as you are rich enough to pay the high heavenly gold, you will be fine.The gold in the sky doesn't ask for a lot of money, it's only 1 million Baileys, which is equivalent to the reward amount of a supernova pirate.

But even so, there are still very few countries that can pay this amount.You must know that there are millions of islands in the world, except for some deserted islands and small islands.And the remaining islands inhabited by humans accounted for less than half.

And it is this half of the human-inhabited islands, except for the 170 powerful and wealthy countries.The rest are all non-affiliated countries that are not recognized by the world government, because they cannot pay the high sky gold, and are attacked by various criminals.

So except for some countries that are rich in "ore" and "food" resources, and some islands with excellent geographical location and located on the fortress of the route.The rest of the world, or the vast majority of countries, are actually quite poor.

Those countries that are extremely poor do not have the financial resources and qualifications.Join the world government, so we call this kind of country a non-member country.Because in their domestic territory, there are neither special products nor the benefits of convenient transportation.

It's like the Kingdom of Alabasta, although the country is full of sand.There are no special products, but it can rely on the convenience of occupying a traffic fortress.The berthing of various ships in the past, with the huge flow of people, has made this country more and more prosperous.

So if you want to get rich, build roads first.This sentence makes sense, even if your island itself has no resources.It can also rely on the huge profits brought by tourism and commerce.Let the domestic economy flourish, just like Dressrosa.

After Li Guapi unified Beihai, he finally discovered this problem.Because according to the annual report, all the islands of the original member countries.They all made a lot of money because of the resources and convenient transportation in their respective countries.

And those have neither resources nor convenient transportation.An island with no advantages is frighteningly poor.The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.The economy of the entire North Sea began to stagnate after booming for a period of time.

When encountering this eternal problem, others may think of retreating.But Li Guapi was different, he didn't believe it.The living can still be suffocated to death by urine, so in the first United Nations meeting, he slammed the table and announced:

We want to build bridges, bridges across the sea.

Li Guapi remembers that in the anime, there is a place known as the "Kingdom of Bridges" in the East China Sea: Tequila Urp.And this place is the country of workers where Robin was slapped by the tyrant bear in the anime.

The laborers and slaves who built the bridge there were all criminals sent by various countries.Or the nationals of countries that refuse to join the world government, that is, those who are not nationals of non-member countries because they cannot afford to pay the high heavenly money.

And these slaves are responsible for building the bridges that connect the various islands.It is said that this project has lasted for more than 700 years.But even after so many years, so many labor slaves are sent every year, the day of completion is still far away.

It is said that in Tequila Ulp, workers continue to fall every day.But then, there will be continuous labor replenishment.It can be said that for more than 700 years, the number of slaves who died in this bridge construction project is astonishing.

I remembered that this scene appeared in the anime, less than two or three episodes.Although in various senses, Li Guapi does not approve of the world government, the inhuman idea of ​​building bridges with the lives of countless civilians.

But he also has to admit that if the bridge construction project is completed.It will definitely be a great thing that "the merits of the country will benefit the future".Just like Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, ordered the construction of the Grand Canal.

Although in a short period of time, a large amount of labor is used to build such a huge project.This led to hard labor and heavy burdens on the common people, which intensified the contradictions.Even because of this, the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty broke out, ruining the fate of the Sui Dynasty.

But from our current perspective, the emergence of the Grand Canal has strengthened the communication between the north and the south.It is both fast and heavy, and is often cheaper than taking dry roads.Moreover, the Grand Canal also connects the north-south waterways and forms several natural water systems into a water network.

Let the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River, Haihe River, and Qiantang River become a large water system.It can be said that the emergence of the Grand Canal is far more important than the Great Wall.Because the Grand Canal connects the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin and gradually integrates them.

The construction of the Grand Canal has made China's water transportation smooth and developed.It has laid a solid and solid foundation for the prosperity of future generations.It can be said that all dynasties after the Sui Dynasty, such as the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, have benefited greatly from this.

It can be said that the achievements of Emperor Sui Yang are immortal.Even in modern times, people still enjoy the convenience brought by the Grand Canal.It's just that at the time, the burden on the common people was too heavy, and it even cost the people and money, leading to the destruction of the country.

The problem that Li Guapi encountered at this time happened to be very similar to this problem.Taking copper as a guide, one can correct one's clothes; taking the past as a guide, one can know the ups and downs; taking people as a guide, one can know the gains and losses.So after some thinking, he decided to build the bridge.

Unlike the Grand Canal of Emperor Sui Yang, what is missing in Beihai is not a waterway.Rather, it is a bridge that connects the various islands in the North Sea.However, they are all doing things under the banner of convenient transportation, so the essence of these two things is the same.

But although Li Guapi wants to build a bridge, if it is really the same as "Tequila Urp".Capture a large number of slaves and use their lives to build bridges.That was different from his original intention of serving the people, so he thought of a good way.

He is not good at building bridges, after all, it is a delicate job.You can send him to the head office!As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Li Guapi turned his idea to Hongtu Dalu.After all, there are so many soil resources there that they cannot be counted.

After all, it is a continent more than 1 meters above sea level, more than 2000 meters higher than Mount Everest.Just steal some soil from above, and then Jingwei fills in the sea.Just spread the transported soil on the seabed.

With this in mind, Li Guapi held the first "United Nations Conference".For the people of the United Nations, they can become rich and well-off.And in order to speed up the advancement of those islands that are not on the route, provide better transportation convenience.

Especially in those deeply impoverished areas, the shortcomings of transportation development are obvious.In order to make the results of transportation better benefit the people in poor areas.It is necessary to strengthen the construction of transportation infrastructure and vigorously improve transportation capacity.

In particular, the territory of the North Sea is vast, and there are nearly tens of thousands of islands in the territory.But except for mineral islands, grain-producing islands, and islands located in transportation fortresses.Most of the islands in the North Sea are desert islands and uninhabited islands.

If it is possible to use the method of transporting soil to build roads, these deserted islands and uninhabited islands can be connected, and then resource development can be carried out.All the islands in the territory are connected into one place, which can completely make the North Sea into an impregnable body.

Only by realizing, maintaining and developing the fundamental interests of the people as the purpose and guidance, on the road to a well-off life for the whole people, will never allow any island.Falling behind because of traffic problems, only in this way can we achieve immortality.

So in the "first session" of the high-level United Nations, the host and guest sat opposite each other until everyone was present.Li Laide, who has a good skin and looks elegant, with the temperament of a good son in a troubled world, stepped into the hall.

As the general chairman of the United Nations, Li Guapi wears a strange crown on his head.It is strange because it is not like those kings, which are inlaid with gold and silver, and have added countless jewels to the golden crown.

It is a crown surrounded by a ring of olive branches.At the very core of the crown is a map of the world seen from the Upside Down Mountain.According to the map marking method of up north and down south, left west and right east, the Beihai Sea is at the top.

The land on the map is white, the waters are light blue, and its 8 meridians extend to 60° south latitude, and the latitudes are represented by 5 concentric circles.The pattern of the emblem is a wreath of two crossed golden olive branches, symbolizing world peace.

Just when Li Guapi walked into the hall stepping on the marble steps.Prose-like songs praising peace, freedom, and the victory of the New World were pulled out from the various pieces played by the bands on both sides of the conference hall.

Main idea of ​​the lyrics: The sun and stars line the sky, and the earth surges with majestic singing.Humanity sings of high hopes and praises the birth of a new world.

The United Nations marches forward in unity, and the flag of righteousness is waving.To win the free new world, join hands.

Rise up to unshackle my country, under the oppression of dark forces.The roar of the people was like thunder, and it was as ruthless as sunlight and flowing water.

The sun of the United Nations must face the morning, and the rivers naturally flow into the ocean.The new century of mankind has come, and my children and grandchildren are free and glorious.

"."

Amidst the majestic music, Li Laide stepped to the beat of the music very well.Slowly walk into the meeting room hall built on the basis of white marble.The marble floor was as smooth as the surface of a glass mirror.

Li Laide, who was at the bottom of the steps, walked slowly on the scarlet carpet inlaid with gold threads.He was wearing the costume of the Phantom Thief Kidd, just compared with the previous set of Phantom Thief costumes.The suit he is wearing now is even more luxurious.

Although the suit is still mainly white, there are a lot of gold and silver ornaments attached to the suit.The collar on the left half is even more lifelike with gold thread, and a luxurious coiled dragon is woven into the brocade, showing even more noble temperament.

And not only the Phantom Thief hat on his head was replaced by an olive crown.Even the cloak behind him was replaced by Yunhu's scarf.The original cloak was replaced with a feathered cloak like Doflamingo.

It's just different from Doflamingo's flamboyant pink cloak with flamingo feathers. Li Laid's cloak is mainly silver-white.Moreover, it is made of the white scales of a rare animal, which are carefully woven piece by piece by female workers.

Although I feel that this dress is too luxurious.But at any rate, as the chairman of the United Nations, Li Laide represented not only the face of Bei Hai, but also the face of the United Nations.It is the face of all the members of the former melon skin pirates.

Step up the steps carved with dragons, and on the pillars on both sides of the palace, there are even five-clawed dragons, embracing the jade pillars.The exquisite huanghuali screen is placed on several small sandalwood tables.On the table of the small sandalwood case, there are all kinds of dried fruit and meat, which are delicious.

Red Earl, Barrett, Mihawk, Golden Lion.These four noble Martial Gods who protect the country sit at the lower heads of the Dragon Throne Throne.Beside their small desk, stood several beautiful maids wearing veils, pouring wine for them.

Under the Panlong steps, stepping on a precious carpet like a phoenix feather, bright gold and red.Li Laide walked slowly in a suit with gold and white scales.Except for the four gods who protect the country, the ministers of civil and military affairs who stood on both sides of the hall bowed to salute.

Even though he was just one person, he was more imposing than someone with thousands of troops.Facing the ministers getting up and saluting, Li Laide's reaction was very flat.Because during this year, Li Laide has become accustomed to accepting the worship of the ministers.

Although at the beginning, Li Laide was extremely uncomfortable.But Robin and the Red Earl said that these etiquettes are very necessary.If you are rude, you will not stand. If there are no rules.Then the huge United Nations is like a pan of loose sand, which will collapse on its own.

Faced with the ministers standing up and saluting, as well as the attitude of surrender.Li Laide took it for granted, and he walked forward casually.And as Li Laide walked forward, the waists of the ministers bent lower.

Even when it was only 100 meters away from the Dragon Throne.The four Martial Gods who protect the country all stood up and made gestures of handcuffing.In the adoration of the crowd, Li Laide sat on the throne.Immediately, the minister below issued a mountain call:
I have seen His Majesty! ! !

Sit on the dragon chair, on both sides of the palace.Out came several pretty little maids who were exquisitely dressed in court dresses.They held up the feather gauze tents, and greeted three alluring women wearing phoenix crowns and xiapei, and dragging luxurious phoenix robes with mermaid skirts.

The temperaments of these three alluring women are all different: Nicole Robin, among them, is intellectual and gentle.And the mature Reiju has the temperament of a big sister.She was holding a cute little boy in her arms, handsome and sculpted.

It was she who bore Lee Rider's child: Alexander Lee Caesar! ! !

(ps: Although the author won't name it, don't complain too much about the name.)
After Robin and Reiju, there is a juicer with long legs, the star Smoothie.At this time, she looked at the little boy in Reiju's arms with envious eyes.Smoothie glanced at Li Laid resentfully, she really wanted to have a cute baby!

Feeling the resentful little eyes, Li Laide backed up a little like a thorn.Because during this year, under the devastation of Smoothie.He did not eat less supplements consisting of: velvet antler, leek, wolfberry, ginseng, and hippocampus.

Juicer, tsk tsk tsk! ! !
Well-deserved reputation!He was almost drained.

"."

When everyone was seated in their seats, Li Laide looked around at everyone: "My dear friends, for the prosperity and development of our big home in Beihai. Therefore, I announce the launch of the transportation plan to connect the islands today."

"Ministers, listen to my orders!!!"

Hearing that His Majesty was about to issue an edict, all the civil and military ministers bowed and saluted.Arms clasped together, forehead slightly lowered, and then respectfully said in unison: "We are all here, to welcome His Majesty's will!!!"

Li Laid looked at the highly interested people, sighed that the morale was good, and then announced loudly: "Send all the transport ships we built this year. We are going to borrow some soil from the Red Earth Continent. "
