Our island owner is always playing dead

Others also wanted to give Ye Limo gold coins one after another, but Ye Limo refused to accept them, so Ye Limo took a bag of gold coins.

When he came out, he found Sullivan and the butler standing upright at the door like two door gods.

Seeing Ye Limo come out, the two hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty the King!"

Ye Limo asked: "Why didn't you two go to dance?"

At this time, the atmosphere was still very lively, and everyone was still dancing energetically.

Ye Limo thinks this is a bit like a bar, and many people won't feel tired if they stay in it all night.

Sullivan said: "I guess, Your Majesty, you will feel sleepy at this time and want to go back to rest, so you are waiting here."

The butler said, "Exactly. Your Majesty, do you want to go back and rest?"

Ye Limo couldn't help yawning. There was a time difference between here and Reshima. Although it was only over an hour, it was not too early, and he was already dozing off.

"Yes, Bruce, I want to go back and rest."

"Okay, let's go back."

Ye Limo handed a bag of gold coins to the butler, and the butler asked, "Did you win it by playing cards?"

It seems that the butler knows what they are doing in there, "No, they gave it to me, and I taught them a new way to play poker."

Sullivan asked enthusiastically, "Have you taught us before?"

Ye Limo said: "Of course I taught you."

Sullivan cheered up.

Back at the residence, Ye Limo quickly packed up and fell asleep. The sound of music and lights floating in the distance were even more distant than dreams.

Su Liwen wanted to talk to Ye Limo about something, but when he saw that Ye Limo was so sleepy, he gave up.

When I got up early the next morning, I saw that some guests were already preparing to leave.

Ye Limo was still thinking, probably Duke Sherick is quite busy today, and he needs to find something to pass the time.I heard someone knocking on the door.

Opening the door, it turned out to be Lilith from last night.

It was too impatient to come to the door early in the morning.

Lilith took off her hat and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to see you."

Ye Limo held her hand and kissed it, and said, "Why did you come so early? Girls can sleep a little longer, and it will make your face brighter."

Lilith withdrew her hand shyly, and said, "I dreamed about you, Your Majesty the King last night. As soon as I woke up, I missed you very much. That's why I came so early. I hope you won't find me abrupt."

Ye Limo smiled and said, "Of course not."

Lilith invited Ye Limo to ride a horse, and Ye Limo said: "I have some arrangements in the afternoon, and I happen to be free in the morning. Such a beautiful lady invites me, and I can't bear to refuse."

Lilith was very happy.

Ye Limo said again: "Today's sun is a bit scorching, why don't we do something else? For example, how about finding a shady place to play?"

Lilith's purpose is to get along with Ye Limo, it doesn't matter what she does, so she quickly agreed.

Ye Limo wrote Shouxin and asked the housekeeper to give it to Duke Sherick, and then went out to play with Lilith.

Lilith is the cousin of the Sherrick family, so she is quite familiar with the Sherrick family, and soon found a shady and wide place to play cricket.

Both men and women can participate in this sport. The only thing that makes Lilith unhappy is that she will no longer have the chance to be alone with Ye Limo.

Sullivan still followed Ye Limo conscientiously, watching Ye Limo teach Lilith to play with a bat, and felt even more uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, Ye Limo made an agreement with Duke Sherick that he could no longer participate in everyone's activities.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Ye Limo came to Duke Sherick's reception room according to the agreed time.

At this moment, the tranquility of the past was restored in the house. The servants were going back and forth, cleaning, trying to remove all the traces left by yesterday.

The butler led Ye Limo to the small reception room, where Duke Sherick was already waiting.

After the two parties met and saluted, they sat down separately.

Duke Sherick began his gossip by saying: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you had a good time last night?"

Ye Limo nodded and said, "Of course I'm very happy, Mr. Duke. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. I haven't attended such a ball for a long time."

Duke Sherick said with a smile: "His Majesty the King is diligent in government affairs, so it is understandable that he has less participation in such balls."

Duke Sherick has a high EQ, and he is very good at finding reasons for Ye Limo.

Ye Limo could only smile and didn't say much.

What was the situation at the dance last night and what happened, Duke Sherick knew it well.

Duke Sherick saw that Ye Limo didn't want to say more, so he talked about the business, and said, "Your Majesty, is the diary of Izuolen, the head of the Black Rose Pirates, in your hands?"

Ye Limo said: "It is indeed in my hands."

Duke Sherick said: "I never thought that a great pirate like Izolen would even keep a diary."

Ye Limo said: "It is indeed surprising, and his experience is also very unexpected. However, I will not say more. If this cooperation is negotiated, Mr. Duke will also be able to read his diary."

Duke Sherick became even more interested, and said: "Hearing what you said, I want to know what happened to him even more. This time, I sincerely want to publish Izolen's diary. I don't know if you have What request?"

Ye Limo said: "There are indeed a few requirements. First, I will not ask for a lot of copyright fees, but I want to share. That is, if you sell a book, I will share a certain amount of money. Proportion."

Duke Sherick paused while holding the tea, and said, "How did you think of such a way?"

Ye Limo said: "I didn't think of it on a whim. You and I know exactly how famous Izuolen is. Although it's hard to predict how many people will buy his diary, I can guess it. There must be many. People. No matter how much you earn, it’s something I can accept.”

Duke Sherick took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said, "This condition is not difficult to meet. What about your other conditions?"

"Secondly, except for some grammatical and wording errors, I don't want to make any deletions to the original diary. The deceased is dead, and people who want to read his diary should want to know the real Izolen, not Modified by us."

"This...can I wait until I read the diary?"

Ye Limo said: "I understand your concerns, Mr. Duke. I can guarantee that although you and your family are mentioned in the diary, there is no derogatory statement. As for the painting, it was bought by Izolen himself. He even had a taste of it himself."

What Ye Limo meant was that there was no harm to the Sherick family.

But Duke Sherick still had some worries, saying: "I still hope to discuss it after reading the original version."

Sherick was indeed very cautious.

Ye Limo had no objection, so he went on to say: "Third article, I hope I can write a preface for this book."

The Duke of Sherick has no opinion, and Ye Limo's experience is also very legendary. If he is blessed with his fame, I believe the book will sell better.

Next, Ye Limo and Duke Sherick negotiated on the amount of copyright fees and how to share them.

In the end, Ye Limo sold the copyright fees of several diaries at the price of a box of gold coins, and got [-]% of the profit by the way.

After discussing the price, Duke Sherick said, "Your Majesty, you really want to talk about business."

Ye Limo said: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Duke. I hope that we will have a happy cooperation this time, and present the image of the great pirate Izolen in front of readers as objectively and fairly as possible."

Duke Sherick nodded.

After talking about the first matter, Ye Limo said another matter to Duke Sherick: "Mr. Duke, I have one more matter to discuss with you."

Duke Sherick nodded: "Please tell me."

Ye Limo was not afraid to expose his own ugliness at all, and said: "Mr. Duke, you know, the current situation in the heat island, it is difficult to establish a complete education system on your own, so I wonder if I can send some children to come under your name school study?"

The Sherick family is very large, so they need a lot of talents to serve them. In addition to the people of the Sherick family, a large number of talents who are good at counting and law must be trained every year.

And Ye Limo's plan is to select outstanding and motivated children and send them to the Sherick family's school to study. After they finish their studies, they return to the heat island, so as to promote the rapid development of the heat island.

This is a bit like borrowing the chicken to lay the egg.

Ye Limo's inspiration also comes from the Westernization Movement in history.

Although the Westernization Movement was a failure as a whole, it sent overseas students at public expense to learn foreign knowledge and technology, and then feed back to build a domestic system. These effects are very significant.

In that period of history, most of the people who can make great contributions have studied abroad.Of course, not every international student has made a contribution, but it is obvious that those who have gone out to see the world and learned knowledge have contributed a lot to the development and progress of the domestic situation.

Sherick felt that Ye Limo always had some surprising ideas.

At this time, of course there are exchanges between countries, but most of the time, it is between the wealthy class and the nobles, especially in the matter of reading and studying.

Duke Sherick found Ye Limo's meaning a bit difficult to understand, so he asked, "Aren't you like the boatmen you sent, come to us to learn other skills?"

Ye Limo shook his head: "Not exactly. I will select some eager and motivated children to study in your school. Of course, I will not reduce their tuition fees."

"Is it... a child of a commoner?"

Ye Limo nodded: "Of course, Mr. Duke, there are no nobles in Reshima."

In an emerging country, where does the aristocracy come from?

Duke Sherick nodded and said, "That's true, I was confused."

"Can you agree to my request?"

Duke Sherick was a little hesitant, not sure what Ye Limo was going to do. If he wanted to cultivate talents, but he didn't just learn technology directly. He could go back and use it after half a year or a year. If the children went to study abroad Five or six years, aren't they afraid that their minds will change?
