Our island owner is always playing dead

Ye Limo and Sullivan quickly separated and looked at the people who were coming.

The person who rushed in was Luo Luoya, and because he was in a state of excitement, he didn't notice the strangeness of Sullivan and Ye Limo at all.

The housekeeper came in after him, and Ye Limo saw that he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, there is very good news!" Luo Luoya was so excited that he almost danced.

Ye Limo comforted Sullivan and said, "What good news, Luo Luoya?"

Luo Luoya said: "This is news from Black Rock Island. They found iron ore on the island!"

Black Rock Island is a relatively barren island. In a climate like a heat island, there should not be an island full of wet rocks. With such abundant water and heat, that island should be full of plants like other islands.

Since there is no problem with water heat, it is a sudden problem.

When Sullivan first discovered this island, many people actually didn’t care about it. Compared with other islands, there are countless animal and plant resources, as well as beautiful scenery, or offshore waters full of fish. This black rock The island is really barren, there are not many fish in the offshore, and there are only some low plants growing tenaciously on the island.

Since the island is unsuitable for farming and breeding, it would be unfit for human habitation, but for it being right on the sea that Sullivan owns, it would be better than nothing.

In order to resettle the refugees from Vauxhall, Loroa's Ministry of Tourism has also been under a lot of pressure.

In order to quickly divert the new arrivals, Luo Luoya sent people to visit the islands, hoping to understand the current situation of all the islands, and then develop new tourist destinations according to the situation of each island.

Warships have made more distant countries interested in heat islands, which means that more people will come to heat islands for tourism. If more and more interesting attractions can be developed, more guests can be attracted, and guests can be in Stay here longer.The longer you stay, the more you spend.

At this time, the few geographers who stayed on the heat island became very important.

Black Rock Island did not come into everyone's sight at first, and everyone only wanted to conduct a short inspection on the island. Such an island can be used as a temporary stop, but it has no other use.Unexpectedly, at this time, they discovered iron ore on Black Rock Island.

"Speaking of it, this is also a coincidence. After they surveyed, they speculated that the iron mines on the island are not buried deep, and it is very convenient to mine.

Ye Limo felt that there was really a feeling of being hit by a big gift bag.

In the past, the iron ore in the hot island was imported from other countries, because no iron ore deposits were found on the hot island. After I had some money, I started to import iron. Although the price of iron ore is cheap, the weight is large and the transportation cost is high. After all, it is more cost-effective to import iron directly.Moreover, the use of iron in the heat island is increasing day by day, and the largest iron-consuming department is the shipyard, which consumes a large amount of raw iron every day.

Heat Island wants to build its own warships, iron is essential.Total dependence on imports is the biggest disadvantage of heat islands.

Now, an iron mine was suddenly discovered in the sea, and Ye Limo almost wanted to laugh.

"This is really good news, Rolloya. This mine is of great significance to our country."

Luo Luoya also understood the current dilemma of the mine, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, so when I received the news, I came to tell you as soon as possible."

Luo Luoya was still smiling, he had no idea that he was disturbing His Majesty's good business.

"Then arrange people to find out the storage capacity and iron ore content of the deposit. After the investigation is clear, you can send people to mine."

Luo Luoya said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

Luo Luoya left, the butler went out in silence, and closed the door behind him.

Ye Limo looked at Sullivan and asked, "You just said, why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sullivan: ...

With Ye Limo's order, the people below didn't dare to delay too much, and hurriedly conducted a very strict inspection on Heiyan Island, inferring that most of the island is stored iron ore. If it is mined, it can be mined for nearly a hundred years. , After mining, the entire island may be dug up.

The first mines in Heat Island were stone mines, which were used to build houses and pave roads.

There is an urgent shortage of manpower on the hot island. Jobs like miners are relatively hard work on the hot island. Except for the captives who are forced to participate in the labor, most free civilians are unwilling to engage in such labor, so The civilian treatment of being a miner is not bad.Ye Limo never thought of making money from the quarry, and sometimes even subsidized it.The Ministry of Mines has always been a relatively loss-making sector.

This time, after the discovery of iron ore, things will take a huge turn for the better.

Ponsell directly became the head of the Ministry of Mining, and now, the affairs of Black Rock Island will fall into his hands.

As the chief, Poncell was perhaps the most deserted one in the family. After the iron ore was discovered, people immediately warmed up to him.

People, it's like this everywhere.

After Poncell took over the iron ore management rights of Black Rock Island, he immediately prepared manpower and went to Black Rock Island to start mining iron ore. On the other hand, he also arranged for follow-up food and grass, so he suddenly became busy.

Others were amazed when they heard that the first iron ore deposit was discovered in the heat island. Is this really God's preference for the heat island?When they started to learn how to build warships, they were given iron ore!

From then on, the warships of Ushima can be built by themselves without relying on things from other countries.

There is one less place that is controlled by other countries.

Sorel came to see Ye Limo and said: "Your Majesty, this is the competition regulation of the multi-national football league that we have discussed with the Football Federation after we received the request for football participation from multiple countries. The number of participating countries this time has reached 26. , there are seven countries that have never dealt with before."

Those who have never dealt with each other are from far away places.

Ye Limo asked: "Can the hot island's passenger flow reception capacity accommodate all these people?"

Sorel said: "I don't think there is a problem, Your Majesty. It is no problem to entertain players and team leaders from various countries. There is some pressure, and it may be fans from various countries watching the game. I have already discussed this issue with Luo Luoya However, the number of tourists received has been determined. The sale of game tickets will be based on this basis."

Ye Limo nodded: "According to this method, it should be able to entertain people who come to the hot island."

"In addition, we are still preparing for the new Chamber of Commerce activities."

You can talk about business at any time of the year, but for rare medicinal materials such as cinchona, Jinchuang medicine, and anesthetics, chambers of commerce are held regularly every year, and everyone gathers together to get their share through bidding and other methods. .In the next year, everyone will supply according to this share.

Whether such medicinal materials are sold to the army or to ordinary people, they are guaranteed to make a profit.It is not surprising that the price of these medicinal materials has doubled when they arrive in those people's countries.

The production of medicinal materials is increasing year by year, but because of the huge demand, the price has not been discounted.

"How many representatives will participate in this chamber of commerce?"

"Combined with the latest countries to establish diplomatic relations, there will be more than 100 representatives participating."

Ye Limo remembered that the first time, it was Prince Jiaser who dragged more than 20 people to Reidao to discuss the business of Cinchona.

"Very good. This time, some of our medicinal materials will be taken away by the Vitima Empire. For the rest, the competition will become more intense."

The previous agreement with the Vitima Empire was to provide them with more of these necessary medicinal materials at a generous price. If Ye Limo hadn't been so generous, the Vitima Empire would not have spared the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians so easily. .

With such favorable conditions, what was given up was a large amount of gold, but Sun Jingyan believed that the value created by those common people would be much more than that gold.

The price paid is visible, and the return obtained is indeed unpredictable.

Ye Limo is still very satisfied with this transaction.

"You are right, Your Majesty the King, so some people suggested that countries such as Bairos, Monritan, and Zars should be eliminated, and their trading rights should be revoked."

These countries were the last time they chased Sullivan's warship on the ocean, provoked the heat island, and tried to take advantage of it.Among them, of course, is led by Bailuosi.

Ye Limo asked, "What's your opinion?"

Sorel said: "Your Majesty, I have always taken your opinion as mine. I think you should receive them, but you won't make it easy for them at the chamber of commerce, right?"

Ye Limo smiled and said: "It's not just hard, it must be deflated."

Directly rejecting the door, it is indeed possible to cut face severely, but there is no room for it.In diplomacy, compromise is inherently dominant, and no matter whether they are strong or weak, they cannot act according to their own preferences.

Byros and other countries can brazenly hand in the application form of the chamber of commerce after a fight, and they don't care about face at all.

That being the case, it won't matter if they lose face, but they will hate Urushima for not getting the right to join the chamber of commerce.Although there are already irreconcilable quarrels with those countries, why do you have to carry it alone?Let them come to Heat Island, at the chamber of commerce with more than 100 people and representatives from more than 30 countries and regions, some people are willing to repair them.I believe that at that time, in order to please Ye Limo and Re Dao, many people were willing to be the early birds.

Besides, just because people are here, it doesn't mean that the medicinal materials must be sold to them!Medicinal materials are sold in the market, and Rejima has the absolute right to speak. They don't need to directly refuse the order request, but let other people work harder to win the order share.It's easy for them to go back empty-handed and bring bad luck.The most important thing is that Ye Limo and Reshima don't need to do these things by themselves.

They team up to bully themselves, won't they team up and bully them back?
