Our island owner is always playing dead

As Ye Limo walked towards his residence, Sullivan said: "Back to the hot island, it is still so peaceful here, nothing has changed."

Ye Limo said next to him: "For the heat island at this time, no change is not a good thing, but I hope the changes in the heat island can surprise you."

Sullivan said: "You described to me in your letter a beautiful future, I can imagine it, and I believe you and your people will realize that ideal. There is no change in the current heat island, but a huge one is still brewing. Change it?"

This Sullivan is really good at talking, Ye Limo suddenly felt better, and said: "You are right, Mr. Captain. We are working hard."

When they arrived at Ye Limo's residence, the butler brought them drinks and fruits to quench their thirst, and the two of them sat down in the pavilion.

Ye Limo asked the butler to bring some food and fruit to the other pirates before chatting with Sullivan.

Sullivan looked at Ye Limo and felt that he was much more confident than two months ago.When we first met, the young prince who fled in a hurry has disappeared, and now it is a new kingdom.

Sensing Ye Limo's new changes, Sullivan was a little happy, but also a little flustered, feeling a little complicated.

Ye Limo didn't know what Sullivan was thinking. As a friend, he naturally asked about Sullivan's life at sea for the past two months.

Sullivan said: "We are used to life at sea, but of course it is better to live on the shore, where it is more stable and peaceful. Getting used to a bad life doesn't mean you like it, right?"

Ye Limo agrees with this very much. He said: "Many people can endure a painful life because they have not tried a better life. If they try it, even if it is only for one day or an hour, when they return to their original life, they will be happy." You can find fault everywhere.”

Similar to this principle, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Ye Limo felt that Sullivan's words had a deeper meaning, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Sullivan changed the subject and said: "The first purpose of coming this time is to express my gratitude to you, my Majesty the King. I wrote to you for help, and you gave me some advice and helped many companions relieve their pain. I told you about this pain, but I didn't expect you to have a solution."

Ye Limo said: "I just happen to know these little things. As a friend, I am very glad to be able to help you."

Sullivan nodded, knowing that Ye Limo would not care about this, he continued: "Back to the hot island, there is another thing. This time, we encountered a merchant ship on the sea, and the ship was a trafficked slave. For us pirates , slaves are useless. We want to find a place to house those slaves, and after thinking about it, I think your place is the most suitable."

This was completely unexpected, and Ye Limo was also very surprised, asking: "How many slaves are there? Where are they from?"

"There are more than 2000, Your Majesty, all captured from Nuwada. Those people are going to sell them to Xi Keli."

Ye Limo said: "Mr. Leader, before expressing my wishes, I want to make it clear to you. I do not intend to establish slavery in my kingdom, so slave trading does not exist here. If you put those people Hand it over to me, and they will have the opportunity to become my subjects and stay and live. If you have no objection to this, I can consider taking them in."

Sullivan said without any hesitation: "Of course, my lord, after handing it over to you, it is up to you to make arrangements. It is their luck that you are willing to let them be ordinary citizens."

Ye Limo shook his head and said, "People who have left their hometowns cannot be said to be lucky."

If life is stable and rich, who would be willing to leave their hometown and go to an unknown country?

Both Sullivan and Ye Limo are people who have left their hometowns. They may have different willingness to leave, but for them, their hometown is already a place they can't go back to at this time.

Leaving aside this somewhat sad topic, Ye Limo still welcomes the new population brought by Sullivan. The population on the hot island is only about [-] now, half of them are natives and half are soldiers. Shortage of manpower.The aborigines are used to a leisurely life and are not willing to work much. If these outsiders are managed well, they will be a good labor force.

In fact, for Sullivan, when robbing a merchant ship, it is common to encounter such a merchant ship full of goods (slaves are also goods in the eyes of the merchant).But Sullivan remembered that Ye Limo confided in his heart that his people were too few and not many people could work for him.When he met such a ship of slaves this time, he thought of Ye Limo privately, so he persuaded other pirates to send a ship of slaves.

After discussing this matter, Ye Limo said: "I hope that among these people, there will be some people with their own abilities. In the current heat island, there is a shortage of people who can build ships, build houses, build roads, and grow plants." People from the land, in short, everyone is lacking.”

Sullivan didn't know much about this ship of slaves, so he had to say: "I will help you pay attention to such people."

After hearing this, Ye Limo realized that he couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I hope that people who come to the heat island will come here willingly, not because of fate. You can tell others that there is such a heat island, but I hope to use a more gentleman way to bring them here."

Ye Limo didn't like rough methods, and Sullivan marked the key points in the small notebook.

A ship of slaves was sent ashore. Most of them looked very weak and needed assistance to walk.

In order to prevent Ye Limo from misunderstanding himself, Sullivan explained: "The slave merchants trapped them in a dark cabin. There were three big locks at the entrance and exit, and they sent people to guard day and night. The slaves lived in the dark cabin. Bread survived. Some of them could not bear it, and they fell ill, and if they were not detected in time, the disease would spread to others, and sometimes a slave merchant's shipload of slaves would die."

Ye Limo frowned frequently when he heard this. He knew that in this era, although human rights have been awakened, they are only limited to those rich countries. Those people talk about human rights, but they use slaves at home, as if human rights are just a buzzword for socializing .The slave trade is indeed full of blood and tears, except for the oppressed slaves, there is no trace of the dead slaves.

Ye Limo sent soldiers to arrange these Nuwada people in the open space, made a temporary shelter for them, and sent them some fruits and drinking water to temporarily solve their problems.

Nuwada people thought that when they disembarked, what awaited them was the fate of being traded and tortured. They did not expect this place to be so similar to their hometown. The warm sunshine, beaches, and familiar fruits make people feel like returning home. Arrived at home.

Ye Limo sent eloquent guards again, but introduced Reidao to the Nuwadas, hoping that they would feel at ease, and at the same time hoped that they would not have desperate thoughts.Let them know that Heat Island is not the one who took them away from home.

Although there are so many people here, Ye Limo's headache is how to make these people live here with peace of mind and willing to participate in the construction of the heat island.Language is also a barrier.

After temporarily relocating the Nuwadas, Ye Limo first entertained the pirates, who were considered old buddies.

This time the pirates had some changes towards Ye Limo, because of Ye Limo's ideas, many of them were relieved from the torment of illness.At this moment, they suddenly felt that the fugitive prince was not useless.

After the welcome banquet, Ye Limo invited Sullivan to go for a walk by the beach, and Sullivan readily agreed.

In the sea in the evening, the wind and waves were a bit strong, because of the surge of the waves, the smaller boats seemed to be dancing on the sea, and Sullivan's big boat couldn't help but fluctuate a little.

What Ye Limo needs Sullivan's help is about going to sea for business.Sullivan's pirate group seldom docked. No matter which port the pirate ships appeared in, they were the targets of everyone's shouting and beating. Therefore, they had their own ports of call, and their supplies often came from robbed merchant ships.

Although Sullivan's pirate group had no chance to go ashore, they could also learn about the business of various countries from the cargo carried by the robbed merchant ships and the merchants' narration.

Ye Limo said frankly: "All my treasures have sunk into the ocean. If I want to make my kingdom rich, I must trade. If I can produce gold, my people will believe me. So, I hope you can tell Everything you know about business."

Sullivan felt that this question was a bit difficult for him. He really didn't know how to do business. He felt that the merchants were so cunning and treacherous. He was only interested in the money of the merchants, but not their business at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Sullivan said: "Nowadays there are a lot of things that come and go between countries by sea, slaves are one of them, and there are also people selling wine - this is our favorite kind of merchant ship, robbing a wine ship The ship can drink for a long time. There are also cloth, clothing, spices, perfumes for women, hats for women, cigarettes for men, etc. Many times, a merchant ship has more than one kind of goods. Merchants go to sea At one time, I will go to several countries and ports to sell my own goods, then buy some local things on board, and then go to the next place, until I ship some things back home that are not available or scarce in my hometown.”
