Our island owner is always playing dead

The steward continued to persuade: "That's different, Your Majesty, His Majesty the old king is stable in the country, and there are no political affairs that require him to keep an eye on him every day, so he can visit other countries. Now there are fortifications in the hot island."

Ye Limo stretched out his hand and said, "I'm so thin, I can't move bricks, I can't carry water, and I have no other ability to stay on the island except to check the progress of the fortifications every day, but if I go to sea and visit other countries, I will know what they need , What can be sold at a high price, you can be prepared when you come back.”

"The same goes for them, Your Majesty."

"I don't worry. What I heard is not as true as what I saw with my own eyes. Bruce, you don't have to persuade me. I have made up my mind to go. If you are afraid that I will be in danger, help me find a good sailor! "

The butler was helpless. Even if the king became a king, he was still as stubborn as when he was a prince.

Ye Limo yawned and said, "I'll sleep for a while, I don't know if I have so much time to sleep in the future."

The butler had no choice but to serve him to sleep first.

According to the nautical chart, Ye Limo sent people to prepare things to go to sea, some sea salt, some dried meat, some wood, and some miscellaneous things. Finally, Ye Limo also sent people to prepare some live prey, let’s see. Can it be sold on land?

Sure enough, about a week later, Moldo and Sullivan came together and invited Ye Limo to visit the new ship.

Ye Limo calmed down a lot this time, and when he saw the new boat, Ye Limo looked forward to going to sea even more.

At this time, the new boat is still on the shelf, but other supports and tools have been removed. From the outside, it looks like a brand new boat.

Sullivan said: "Your Majesty, although this is an old ship repaired, it is considered a new ship for Hot Island. When this ship is launched, I hope you will preside over the launching ceremony."

Ye Limo looked at the new ship happily, and after listening to Sullivan's suggestion, he nodded happily: "Of course! This is the first ship in our kingdom! It doesn't matter whether it was an old ship or not, but for the heat island, It is the first hope."

Sullivan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you can still give him a name."

Moldo suggested: "I think it can be called the King, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Ye Limo knows that many places will name some place names as kings or queens, such as Queensland, which is a way of showing respect for the king or queen, but Ye Limo feels that this name does not reflect the meaning of the ship. So he said: "Your suggestion is very good, but I think it can be called a better name. I like the name Hope, what do you think?"

The butler was the first to agree: "It is indeed a very good name, Your Majesty."

Of course, Sullivan also unconditionally supported: "This name gives this ship a very good meaning, and His Majesty's name is very good."

Moldo and others were also persuaded and began to praise that it was a good name.

Ye Limo was full of joy, and said: "Then work hard, Moldo, you and your companions, put your name on this ship!"

The boat has been repaired and is just waiting to set sail. When Ye Limo returned to his residence, he was in a good mood.

He told the steward, "Bruce, go and tell Unker to make some delicious food. Tonight I will entertain Moldo and his partners, and thank them for their hard work and repairing the Hope for us."

The housekeeper understood what Ye Limo meant, and went to convey Ye Limo's meaning to the chef.

In the evening, accompanied by Sullivan, the boatmen who helped repair the old ship all came. Everyone sat down in order of priority, and the butler let the kitchen serve food.

During the meal, Ye Limo asked Moldo: "Do you think, if you don't have an old boat, you can build a strong new boat if I give you wood?"

Sullivan glanced at Ye Limo, and immediately understood why Ye Limo asked such a question. He really wanted a lot of ships, right?

Moldo replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have been a boatman for 35 years, and I have repaired ships for 35 years. I know the inside and outside of the ship very well. If I have enough materials and tools at hand, I can certainly build new ones." Come the boat."

Ye Limo praised and said: "That's really amazing. People with craftsmanship like you are more popular when they get older, because your ability comes from your countless times of work. There is no other way to get this."

Speaking of his skills, Moldo was very proud and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, you are really a smart man. Many people think that the boatman is nothing special. In fact, if there is no boatman, the ships on the sea now would be It will fall apart in half! I have been working as a boatman on a boat since I was 16 years old. I have learned many skills and seen the improvement of the boat. The boat can get bigger and bigger, can carry more and more cargo, can go farther and farther, Crossing more storms is all paid for by the labor of our boatmen."

Ye Limo understood that Moldo was complaining that some people did not understand the importance of their boatmen and despised their work.Everyone hopes that their work and risks will be recognized and respected by others, which is the common psychology of all people.

So, Ye Limo raised his glass and said, "Then let me toast you a toast, to your excellent craftsmanship, and the spirit of not being afraid of hard work, thank you and all the boatmen, so that those of us with ideals can cross the vast sea and reach Make your own goals and realize your dreams!"

The boatmen were very excited, and they all raised their glasses and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the King!"

After drinking, Ye Limo felt a little disappointed. These boatmen are all under Sullivan's subordinates. It's already great to own a boat, so they can't ask others for help, right?But Moldo's craftsmanship is really very reluctant, and he can't wait to immediately attract his own subordinates and use it for himself.

At this time, Ye Limo suddenly understood very well that what was said in the history books, Zhou Gong vomited, fed, and shook his hair was only because of his thirst for talents.

Some people's ability is indeed irreplaceable.

Ye Limo concealed his emotions and continued to chat and eat with the boatmen until the meal was finished and the boatmen went back to rest.

Sullivan did not leave in a hurry, as if he had something to say to Ye Limo.

At this time, Ye Limo liked Sullivan's visit very much, because every time he came, there was a good thing.Although Ye Limo was surprised at Sullivan's unreasonable affection for him and the things he did for him for free, he couldn't care so much at this time.

After the housekeeper made the tea, Ye Limo asked, "Mr. Captain, what can I do for you?"

Sullivan asked back: "I heard that you are recruiting sailors recently?"

This work is indeed being done, but the progress is not very good. There are indeed few people who know how to build a boat in Reshima. There are almost no people who do not lose their way at night.This made Ye Limo very discouraged.

Sullivan said: "I didn't think carefully and sent your ship to Your Majesty, but forgot that you didn't have suitable sailors. Well, there are many sailors in my pirate group. They can drive the ship through the devil's sea. You have already experienced it. Therefore, I want to send someone to help you set up the boat, and you send some people to follow them to learn the skills of sailing, do you think it is okay? After learning, you can go to sea by yourself. "

Ye Limo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "It would be great if this could happen. I really don't know how to thank you, Sullivan, you are my best friend!"

Sullivan laughed and said, "Of course I'm your best friend, Your Majesty."

If he hadn't heard that Ye Limo was going to sea, Sullivan would not have sent his people over so eagerly. He was very worried that Ye Limo would be in danger at sea, so he proposed to send his sailors to help Ye Limo.

No matter what the reason was, Ye Limo was very grateful for Sullivan's help.Thinking back carefully, Sullivan's help was so appropriate every time that it was impossible to refuse.

Therefore, Ye Limo selected [-] fishermen who had sailing experience to go to sea with Hope, and hoped that they would be able to master solid sailing skills after learning.Although it is not so easy to learn to drive a boat, such an opportunity is also very rare. If you can learn some, learn some.

Before departure, Ye Limo summoned old man Hagen and handed over to him the work of repairing the road and pier.

"At the moment, the most important thing for the Kingdom is to repair the road and dock. In the next period of time, I will go to sea with the ship, and I can't focus on the road repair. Therefore, I can only leave this matter to You. I hope that during this period of time, you can urge everyone to continue to build roads. When we return, it will be the time when Hishima finds new hope. At that time, this road and this pier will be our very important future. Because This is where we started."

The old man Hagen was entrusted with an important task, and suddenly felt that the king had great trust in him. He was grateful, but also a little apprehensive, because he was worried that he would not be able to complete his work well.

"Your Majesty, you trust me so much. If I refuse, I will be sorry for your trust. I only hope that after you go to sea, the king, you must take good care of yourself. The heat island cannot live without you."

Going to sea is very risky, not only old man Hagen, but also many people hope that their king will have a smooth journey and return safely. They need such a smart and benevolent His Majesty the King.
