Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 23 Accepting Some Refugees

Zhongxi waved his palm-like hand and said, "No, Mr. Ye Limo, I am very happy to have a partner like you. Good wood is needed to build a good boat, but now it is getting harder and harder to find good wood .I hope that more of your merchant ships will come to Kanmara, we need those high-quality timber.”

Ye Limo said: "So that's the case. Although we have heard of the reputation of Kanmara before, we have never been here, and we have always been fascinated. This time we brought wood, just to try our luck. We did not expect wood to be so popular. We don't know much about wood, so if possible, I hope you can explain to us the prices and uses of different woods, do you think it's okay?"

Zhongxi hesitated, Ye Limo looked at the time and said: "It's getting late, if possible, I would like to invite you to have dinner with us. By the way, let's talk about future cooperation. I hope you can attend the appointment, Mr. Zhongxi."

Zhongxi thought for a while and said, "Well, it's just that I have a big appetite. I hope you won't be surprised."

Ye Limo made a gesture of invitation and said, "Of course not, sir. Your work requires strength. If you don't eat much food, I'd be surprised."

The butler followed behind, watching Ye Limo chat with Zhongxi with relief.

Zhongxi said from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Ye Limo, you are really a gentleman, and now there are very few businessmen as polite as you."

So, the three of them had dinner together, and chatted about timber and shipbuilding by the way.Nakashi is the technical force of the shipyard, so he can sign the contract for the shipyard.Such a chat does not involve the technical secrets of the shipyard, so Nakashi has nothing to hide.

This information is very important to Ye Limo, at least he knows that different woods are used to build different parts of the hull.Different woods also have different properties.

However, what Zhongxi means is that shipbuilding will now start to use steel to build the hull, and Zhongxi feels that it is more difficult to launch steel into the water.

Ye Limo knew that those [-]-ton cruise ships in later generations were all made of steel, and the ability of wood to resist storms was not as good as steel, so ships made of steel had a longer lifespan than wooden ships.

At the end of the chat, Ye Limo asked: "Is there a bookstore in Kanmara where I can buy books about ships? After chatting with you, I have become very interested in shipbuilding and hope to learn more secrets."

Zhongxi suddenly became serious, made a silent movement, turned his head and looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, I think you are a gentleman, so I tell you these things, the shipbuilding technology of Kanmara, It cannot be passed on to outsiders, so although there are books on shipbuilding technology, only the major shipyards have them. If outsiders, especially people from other countries like you, want to buy them, they are likely to be expelled by patrols. Therefore Please be careful not to mention this matter outside."

Ye Limo tensed up immediately, and when he was proud, he forgot about Byros' high-handed *politics. Fortunately, he mentioned something to Zhong Xi, otherwise he would go to the bookstore to ask, maybe the owner of the bookstore would call the patrol soldiers directly.

"Sorry, I didn't know there was such a rule."

Zhongxi shook his head and said: "Don't feel sorry, it's our fault. Although the shipbuilding technology should be kept secret, it doesn't need to go to this level. The major shipyards will protect their own secrets. Sir, if you need, I will I can go and buy you a book about ships."

Ye Limo thinks this is good, so as not to get into trouble, Zhongxi's identity is still very safe.

With Ye Limo's approval, Zhongxi immediately stood up and went to the bookstore to buy books about ships. Books that can be sold in bookstores, of course, do not have many valuable skills, but for lovers like Ye Limo, is enough.

Zhongxi handed the book to Ye Limo, Ye Limo felt very grateful and said, "Thank you very much, Zhongxi, thank you for trusting me so much."

Zhongxi waved his hand and said, "In our opinion, this kind of book does not need to be kept secret at all, and there is no hindrance if it is given to you."

Such a caring friend, Ye Limo felt really good.

After dinner, Ye Limo and the housekeeper parted ways with Zhong Xi and prepared to go back to the boat.

Walking on the road, I suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.

The two got closer and realized what happened. It was the patrol soldiers who found some illegal immigrants and were about to deport them.

Ye Limo originally thought that it was normal for illegal immigrants to be deported regardless of their own affairs.However, he soon saw that among the group of illegal immigrants, the child was pushed to the ground and started crying. Not only did the patrolman not let him get up to find his mother, but kicked him twice.Looking at other people, the methods are equally rude and cruel, it is simply inhuman treatment.

Ye Limo asked: "Bruce, where will these people be deported?"

The butler looked at it for a while and said, "Deportation."

"Is Kanmara close to the land border?"

The steward shook his head and said, "It's not close, Your Majesty. The nearest border to Kanmara is the ocean. These people may be..."

Ye Limo was taken aback. Will these people be driven into the ocean?Drown alive?That's too cruel!

The butler said calmly: "The current situation in Bailos is worrying. They are xenophobic and refuse to accept anyone with questionable status. And we read the newspaper today, and these people should be war refugees."

The two neighbors of Byros were fighting, and the refugees who fled naturally ran around. Although some people knew about Byros' high-pressure policy, they didn't know how serious it was.

Ye Limo couldn't bear it very much. Thinking of the lack of residents and labor force in the heat island, these people did not take their lives for their lives. It really felt like a full man would not know a hungry man's hunger. Finally, he couldn't help but said: "Let's take them to the heat island Go! We need enough labor."

The steward put his hands lightly on Ye Limo's shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, let's discuss the countermeasures."

The butler will not let Ye Limo take risks.

Ye Limo tried his best to calm down and waited for the housekeeper to find a solution. He lacked social experience, and he was afraid that the solution he thought of would be counterproductive.

The two men followed the men for two blocks, and the crying continued uninterrupted.

Finally, the housekeeper and Ye Limo finally thought of an idea, ran over, and the housekeeper said: "Gentlemen, please wait a moment!"

The patrolmen stopped to drive the refugees, and asked in a vicious voice, "What are you doing?"

"Excuse me sir, sorry to bother you. These people are our guests. Our ship stopped at the port. They didn't know that they needed a pass to go ashore, so they didn't bring it. I'm sorry, they didn't enter the country illegally, they took our ship. The boat is here, our boat is here for the timber business, gentlemen please look at it."

The butler handed over the pass, and the patrolmen passed it to each other. Everyone glanced at it. The pass was real, and of course there was nothing wrong with it.

At this time, the refugees also cried less and less, because they did not understand what was going on.

"Where do you guys come from?"

"The last port we moored at was Yuli, and the next one we were going to was Hot Island. They were originally passengers on the ship. They thought the food on the ship was not good. Would you like to come down and eat some delicious food? I'm really sorry."

The patrol soldiers felt that such a statement was very problematic. They were sure that these people were refugees, but this person's statement made them hesitate.

After a while, the captain of the patrols came and asked sharply what was going on.

A patrolman quickly explained the matter.

The captain's stern gaze swept Ye Limo and the housekeeper back and forth a few times, Ye Limo remained silent, and the housekeeper smiled slightly.

The captain called Ye Limo and the steward aside for questioning. The steward repeated what he said just now, and then said: "Mr. Captain, we did not intend to offend the laws and regulations of your country. All the refugees were expelled into the sea, and they only ended up being buried in the sea. If such a thing is known to other countries, will they make a big fuss about it and use it to attack Bailos?"

The captain's face was serious, he didn't expect this foreigner to think deeper than him.And it makes sense.

Seeing that the captain seemed to have murderous intentions, Ye Limo said lightly: "Even if you blocked our mouths, there are still so many boats by the sea, and many people will see these people being driven into the sea, and their corpses will be floating on the sea tomorrow. Keep it a secret." Can't live."

The butler quietly took out a gold coin, stuffed it into the captain's hand in a secret way, and said: "This time it is our fault. It is our fault that it caused trouble to Kanmara, you and your subordinates. , is to compensate you. Next time we promise not to make such a mistake again."

After touching the gold coins, the captain's face softened, but his tone remained stern, and he said, "Since this is the case, you must not do such a thing again next time! When the ship enters the port, you must keep an eye on your passengers. You are not allowed to disembark casually, let alone in Kanma. Just wander around!"

This meant that Ye Limo and the butler had admitted what they said, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

So, the captain ordered again: "It has been found out that these are indeed the passengers brought by those two businessmen, and they are not dangerous people who entered the country illegally, so now take them to pay the fine, and send them to their ship after paying the fine! "

Ye Limo has convinced the captain, he is really good at scraping oil and water.

So the two had no choice but to pay the fine before they were taken to the boat, and all the gold coins they got from selling the wood were fined and confiscated.
