Our island owner is always playing dead

After Sorel reported the order he had made to Ye Limo, he said, "Your Majesty, there is a very important issue now."

Ye Limo said, "Please tell me, Sorel."

"It's like this, Your Majesty, it's a gratifying thing to sign so many contracts, but the Nozomi is a bit small. If you want to meet these orders, one Nozomi is obviously not enough. Even if the sailors row hard and strive for To complete a voyage in a shorter time, but it is also difficult to meet these needs.”

Sorel was also a little confused after signing the contract. There is only one Nozomi in Ukishima. If he wants to meet the supply, he will have to go to sea more times and need more merchant ships.

Ye Limo realized that this is indeed a problem.

Apart from the boat, the sailors are also a problem. Although Sullivan's people are helping to steer the boat, they will return to the pirates sooner or later. Now the sailors in the hot island are not very skilled, and it is very difficult for them to speed up their journey.But if you buy a boat, the price is not low. Ye Limo calculated that for the price of buying a boat, you need the Hope to go to sea for dozens of trips.

Ye Limo didn't have a good solution for the time being, so he had to say: "I know about this problem, Sorel, it is indeed a very important problem, but I can't think of a good solution now. You have come back, go back and have a rest first Well, if we think of a way, let's discuss it."

Saurel stood up and saluted straightly: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

After Saurel left, the housekeeper changed Ye Limo to a cup of tea. His majesty's habit was also strange. Unlike other people's tea, he had to add sugar and milk. He only drank brewed tea. There was nothing special about black tea and green tea. preference.

Ye Limo couldn't help but said to the steward: "Bruce, it's not easy to be a king."

The butler stood beside the tray and said, "You are right, Your Majesty."

"It wasn't long before we found Cinchona and got malaria under control. Before we could be happy for a long time, more problems came."

The steward said: "Your Majesty, as a king, you are entangled in state affairs every day. You don't need to worry too much. Worrying is useless, and it will make you feel mentally exhausted."

Ye Limo felt that what the housekeeper said was right. Looking at Chinese history, how many diligent emperors did not live long, didn't they just get tired?

Ye Limo decided to go for a walk, take a stroll, and improve his mood.

This time, the Hope brought back some refugees, but there were no family members or relatives of the previous refugees. They saw the family search advertisement posted by Sorel and thought that they could come here to try their luck.

Ye Limo strolled to the seaside. The port, which has been under construction for more than half a month, is about to be completed. By then, many ships can be docked here. It's just that the port has been repaired. I don't know when it will be full of ships!

On the second day, Sorel came to Ye Limo, and he said that he thought of a good way!

Ye Limo knew that Sorel was smart and was very interested in his methods.

"Your Majesty, my idea is to sell medicinal materials! Didn't you discover a medicinal material that can treat malaria? We can sell it at a high price! It can be sold for a price equal to its weight in gold! I can assure you, Your Majesty! This is really Quite an amazing discovery!"

It turned out that when Sorel returned to the heat island, he had a gathering with his former friends. He heard that a malaria outbreak broke out in the heat island some time ago, and six to seventy people fell ill. It took His Majesty the king half a month to find Cinchona tree, cured most of the people, only four people died because they did not wait for the medicinal materials.

The horror of malaria, these guards know better, on the battlefield, many soldiers may not necessarily die from the enemy's knife, but may die from malaria infection!However, although there are many ways to treat malaria in the world, none of them are effective. In many cases, it is the luck of the patient who can escape the shadow of death.

At first, Sorel thought it was his teammates who said this deliberately for bragging rights. Later, he went to the port to inquire and found out that it was all true, even the number of people was true, without any adulteration.Sorel, who was worrying about the ship, suddenly thought of this method, so he came to Ye Limo in a hurry.

After hearing this, Ye Limo thought for a while and said, "Saurel, your method is very good, but I don't think it will work."

Sorel was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Ye Limo asked him to sit down first, and said, "Saurel, I understand your desire to buy a big ship as soon as possible, but think about it, how many soldiers and navies do we have on Hot Island?"

"This..." Sorelton was speechless for a moment.

The soldiers on the hot island were all brought by Ye Limo. The initial number was more than 500, and some of them were King Ronald's people. These people were not loyal to Ye Limo. They stayed because there was no other way. Go back to the Ausin Empire.After all, only Ye Limo's more than 200 soldiers can fight for the heat island.Moreover, these more than 200 soldiers are all land soldiers and are not good at naval battles. Therefore, Heat Island can be said to be unarmed now.

Ye Limo continued: "It is a gift from God that the heat island can have such precious medicinal materials. However, for the heat island who has no self-protection ability, it is both luck and danger. If we know the world about this secret, we will It will become the target of guns from all over the world. If we keep this secret, we can still have a chance. Sorel, you have to understand that a heat island with cinchona is like a child who walks alone with gold in his arms. Robbed, hurt, no chance to trade gold for what we want. If we want to tell people that we have cinchona, we have to grow up."

How could Ye Limo not know the precious medicinal materials?Medicines are one of the most important materials in war besides weapons. In the current war, whoever can possess cinchona first, and who can preserve the vitality to the maximum, will be more likely to win the war.

Sorel, who was a guard, soon understood the pros and cons, and felt ashamed of his recklessness.

Sorel stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't think carefully. I only thought about exchanging medicine for money, but I didn't think about the possible consequences."

Ye Limo waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Although your solution doesn't work, I'm glad you can keep thinking about it. I can't be the only one thinking about the heat island. I need everyone to help me find a solution together."

Sorel was very grateful to Ye Limo for his understanding.

Recently, Ye Limo is also working on arranging people to guard the cinchona growth area, and trying to build a cinchona plantation plan. Although there is a large piece of cinchona, the bark and root bark of the cinchona are used as medicine. When these parts are removed, it will die, and it is difficult for a tree to grow bark again, so when the bark is picked, it is the time when the tree dies.In order to ensure a long-term and stable supply of cinchona, human intervention, cultivation, planting, and maintenance are required.

The matter of the new ship has not been implemented yet, Sorel has already taken the initiative to prepare the goods, so we can't wait until the new ship is ready before going to sea, right?Besides, in line with the principle of going out to sea once more, before Sullivan's pirate group came back, they hurriedly made two more trips. How long will you stay?

In addition to stocking up, Sorel also has one more thing to ask Ye Limo: "Your Majesty, this time, I am here to ask you on behalf of the soldiers."

Ye Limo nodded and said, "Please tell me."

"After the soldiers heard that I helped the refugees post advertisements for relatives, they hoped that I could also help them send some letters home, hoping that the family members would know that they were still alive."

Now, Ye Limo's Heat Island and Ronald's Ausin Empire are two countries. If the soldiers contact their homes privately and send letters back, they may be considered treasonous, but they have been away from home for almost half a year. Many of them People have never thought that a mission would mean parting with their family members forever.Now they can't go home, but they also hope that their family members can know that they are still alive, and it is best to get some more information about their family members.

Ye Limo has no opinion on the matter of the soldiers contacting their families. He used to feel that it is not easy to be a soldier, and it is difficult to get together with his family all year round.However, the current situation is special, and this matter also needs to be cautious.He doesn't know what his elder brother's attitude is towards him now, and it's hard to know, so it's best to be careful in everything.Besides, even if Ronald can't do anything about him who is far away on the heat island, it is very easy to operate on the families of the soldiers.

After spending a long time thinking about this matter, Ye Limo invited Soler to have dinner with him, and arranged this matter by the way.

While enjoying dinner, Ye Limo said: "I have thought about what you told me today. Soldiers miss their families. It is understandable. We can help refugees find their families, and of course we can help soldiers contact their families."

Sorel was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a generous and merciful Majesty! The soldiers will definitely appreciate you very much!"

Ye Limo said: "Although I allow them to write letters to their families, Sorel, we must strictly check the contents of the letters and not allow them to reveal too much about the situation of the heat island. At present, everything is based on the safety of the heat island."

Saurel nodded: "What you said is, Your Majesty, I will definitely do what you want."

Ye Limo pointed to Sorel and told him that what is not allowed in the letter, especially the cinchona that treats malaria is not allowed. It is best for the soldiers to only talk about their own situation in the letter and not mention anything about the heat island matter.

In order to wait for the letters from the soldiers, Sorel postponed the departure of the Hope for one day. On this day, a huge fleet suddenly appeared on the sea. Someone with sharp eyes saw that it was Sullivan's pirate group. , But, why didn't they continue to hang the pirate flag, and they didn't seem to have the majestic and high-spirited feeling before?

When Ye Limo heard the news, he rushed to the beach and saw the pirate ships entering the port. Now the port is about to be completed, and the pirate ships can enter the port.
