Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 28 The Test of Malaria

Ye Limo and Sorel negotiated prices for different items and different people.

"Generally speaking, if you make a request, you will be bargained, and you will only be accepted if you make a concession. For example, if you ask for a jug of wine, they will definitely not agree, but if you Ask for a barrel of wine at first, and they will say no, then you step back and say you just want a jug of wine, and they will probably say yes, because your second request is much more satisfying. I think, talking to them Negotiating prices can also use this strategy.”

Sorel nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I understand. It's like if they do something wrong, they will be punished. I said that I would punish them for bathing the horse for ten days, and they would bargain for a week. In fact, I only I want to punish them for a week."

The guards used to be equipped with a horse and needed to take care of it themselves. Now the guards' horses have sunk with the ship to the bottom of the sea, and there are no horses to ride.

Ye Limo felt a little sad when he thought of this, but one day, he would equip the guards with horses again.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to discover this truth. Of course, we can also increase the price little by little, one-time increase, they may not be willing to accept it, but you add a little price every time you go, and then tell a lie It is okay to say that the islanders are poor and need money, but this is very troublesome and will make them feel that we have broken our promise."

What Ye Limo is talking about is the psychological threshold effect, which is more common in vulnerable groups such as victims of domestic violence, which is what everyone calls giving in step by step.

"You are quite right, Your Majesty."

Today, there are dozens of trade items with the land, and the two of them have negotiated the price of each, from the asking price to the appropriate price to the lowest price.

By the time the prices of dozens of items were confirmed, it was already the climax of the moon, so Ye Limo asked Sorel to go back and rest quickly.

When he noticed the time, he felt drowsy overwhelming, and immediately his eyelids were about to stick together.

Seeing this, the butler felt really dumbfounded.

So, the next day, Ye Limo slept until lunch time before slowly getting up.

Yawning, Ye Limo asked: "Bruce, I forgot to mention yesterday, have the new arrivals settled down?"

The steward prepared Ye Limo's clothes and said, "It's all settled, Your Majesty, it was the former refugees who settled them last night."

Ye Limo thought for a while and said, "Okay, I see, today, you or you find a reliable person to record their information."

This is the usual practice, the steward said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

As for preparing the No. Hope to go to sea again, Ye Limo had already handed it over to Sorel to prepare, which relieved a lot of things at once.

Sure enough, to be a king is to be able to find someone to help you work, and if you find someone to help you, you can save a lot of trouble.

Of course, if you find the wrong person, it will be a bad thing, so the butler's little skill of knowing people is really useful.

From the matter of employing people, Ye Limo thought of another thing, which was to assemble his own cabinet.

The king governs the country, of course, with the help of ministers. There are not many people on the hot island, and there are not many things, so Ye Limo can handle it alone. With the development of the hot island, the population will gradually increase, and the affairs will also increase. With the increase, Ye Limo had to ask for help.

This involves a very headache for Ye Limo. He feels that he does not have any political talent. When the time comes, it will be a hard thing to deal with the struggles of the ministers.

However, the heat island has to develop, otherwise, I am afraid that the king will really have no place to sleep peacefully in the future.Lazy governance is unacceptable.After thinking for a long time in a complicated mood, Ye Limo only hoped that things would not be too complicated, as long as he could handle it.

A few days later, the Nozomi set off for the third time, fully loaded with the products of Heat Island, and the negotiation plan in Sorel's heart.

Ye Limo personally sent the Hope away at the port.

People around are busy building a new port, and they don't care much about the existence of the king.

Ye Limo glanced at it several times, and felt that some people were missing, so he asked the housekeeper: "I think some familiar faces are not here, did old man Hagen send them to do other things?"

The butler thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard old man Hagen talk about this, Your Majesty."

"Then go ask!"

Old man Hagen was on guard at the construction site every day, supervising the fortifications and ensuring that they were all built according to the drawings.

Hearing the king's inquiry, the old man Hagen came over immediately and explained the problem to Ye Limo himself: "Your Majesty, it's not that I sent them to do other things, but because they are all sick."

Ye Limo hurriedly asked: "What disease is it? Is it an infectious disease?"

This is what Ye Limo is most afraid of. In this era of underdeveloped medical care, if there is any infectious disease, it will kill a lot of people. He managed to get so many people to settle on the island. If the infectious disease comes again, it will be a waste of work up.

On this hot island, every single person is very important.

Old man Hagen said: "It's cold and fever, Your Majesty. They don't know if they drank water or what, they fell ill one after another. I can't let the patients work, so I let them go back to rest."

Ye Limo knew something about cold and fever, because it was a disease that ravaged the world. Even in the new century he lived in, many people still died of this disease.This kind of disease is also called playing pendulum, because the patient will shiver and tremble uncontrollably.Although the disease is not directly airborne, it has a high fatality rate, making it a relatively serious disease.

"Why didn't you come to sue me!" Ye Limo became a little angry in desperation, if it drags on, it will kill a lot of people!There are only more than 2000 people on the hot island now!One less person is a huge loss.

Old man Hagen hurriedly explained, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, because this kind of emergency is very common in heat islands, I'm afraid you will be anxious about it, so..."

Ye Limo couldn't help but patted his forehead, restrained his temper, and said: "Hagen, I am the king, of course I have the responsibility to find a way to solve these problems. If I don't even know the problem, how can I find a way? From now on, no matter what it is , even if it is such a small matter, you have to tell me, understand?"

Old man Hagen hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Ye Limo led the housekeeper back to the residence in a hurry, and said, "Bruce, change into long clothes and trousers for me."

The butler hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

"I know how to treat this disease, and now I need to go up the mountain to find the medicine, as soon as possible, the patients can't afford it."

The housekeeper hurriedly found loose and convenient long clothes for Ye Limo. This set of clothes was newly made by the housekeeper. It was in the style of riding clothes, and Ye Limo seldom wore it.

The housekeeper confirmed again and asked: "Do you know what kind of medicine can cure cold and fever?"

While putting on his clothes, Ye Limo said, "Yes, Bruce, I don't know if I can get it here, but I know what kind of medicine can cure it. Whether I can find it or not, I have to try it."

The steward immediately said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to follow you!"

Ye Limo said: "Of course, Bruce, you must come with me."

At this time, the housekeeper was also a little excited. He knew how severe this disease was. He also had a friend who died of this disease. At that time, he thought, if there is a cure for this disease in the world The medicine will be enough to make this disease less rampant. In that way, how many people can survive, and how many people don't have to face the sorrow of life and death.

After changing his clothes, Ye Limo called some guards and prepared to go up the mountain to find them together.

The name of the tree that can treat malaria is cinchona, and it is still a very important medicinal material in modern society, which shows the degree of harm of malaria.Ye Limo remembers that in the last life, the cinchona tree was discovered in the Andes Mountains. It is said to be the sacred tree of the local Indians. Later, the medicine cinchona was mainly produced in Indonesia and was also introduced from Indonesia. At least from the historical records, Indonesia is not cinchona. home.Like Indonesia, it is a tropical heat island. I don't know if there are cinchona trees.I hope that God will take care of him. His small kingdom has just started, but it has encountered such a catastrophe. I hope that God will raise his hands and grant some miracles, even if there is only one cinchona tree, it is good.

Ye Limo tried hard to recall the growth environment of the cinchona tree. It is said that it is in the valley. There must be no hot seaside all the year round, but the environment is too cold, otherwise Indonesia will not become the main production area. Therefore, the cinchona tree at least grows In the middle of the mountain.

Although he doesn't remember much about the growing environment of the cinchona tree, fortunately Ye Limo remembers what the cinchona tree looks like. When he read about this kind of sacred tree from a magazine, he couldn't help but look at it for a long time. Many of the cinchona trees that have survived are very unremarkable in appearance, without any waywardness of tropical plants.This is the best among plants, the master is among the people, right?The more inconspicuous it is, the more useful it is.

It's just that the real treasure tree is so easy to find. Ye Limo and the housekeeper led the guards to climb the mountain for a long time, but they couldn't find the cinchona tree. They returned without success on the first day.

In the evening, the housekeeper took off Ye Limo's clothes, seeing the scratches on Ye Limo's body and the blood blisters on his feet, he felt very distressed.The prince he has been taking care of for three years has always been delicate and lazy. Even if he fled, he still has a full beard and tail. How could he have suffered such a crime?

Ye Limo also felt the pain, and gasped for breath, but he felt that life was more important than a few blood bubbles.

"Your Majesty, how about leaving this matter to others!"

The ability of the soldiers to climb mountains and mountains is much better than that of Ye Limo.

Ye Limo shook his head and refused, saying, "I have to go, because others don't know what the medicinal materials look like."

"You can draw it and let the soldiers find it."

Ye Limo's drawing skills are not particularly good, but he can still see what he looks like.

Ye Limo has made up his mind, so no matter how much the housekeeper persuades him, he will not change his mind.
