Our island owner is always playing dead

Sullivan's pirate group had stayed in Hot Island long enough, and Sullivan was reluctant to leave. Other pirates would not, so many pirates had clamored to go to sea a long time ago. Only by going to sea would they have a chance to get more wealth!

Ye Limo didn't hold back much either. The pirates stayed here, and the natives were still a little panicked. Although the pirates didn't do anything these days, their bold and unrestrained style made the natives a little scared.

Ye Limo is a poor man, in order to show his gratitude, in addition to letting the soldiers collect a lot of food and send it to the pirate ship.

Before the pirate ship went to sea, I said goodbye to Sullivan on the pier and said: "I am very grateful for your help. I have empty pockets and no gold, silver or jewelry. In the future, I will definitely find a way to give you enough treasure. My thanks to you and your comrades for your life-saving grace."

When Sullivan looked at Ye Limo, he still had to bow his head slightly. After listening to Ye Limo's words, he replied very respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is our honor to help you. I hope we can come back in the future and hope that we can be like friends." Talk, hope, you'll remember me."

Ye Limo said: "Of course I remember you, Hot Island welcomes you back at any time, as a haven for you to rest, if... I mean, if you feel tired, being a pirate is too dangerous, Hot Island welcomes you to be residents here, here Life."

After hearing this, Sullivan couldn't help grinning, and said, "Your Majesty, I will keep your invitation in mind. When I need it, I will definitely come to you. You are the last destination of my heart." .”

Ye Limo suddenly felt that Sullivan really trusted him too much, and this trust was a bit heavy.

The housekeeper behind couldn't help thinking deeply about Captain Sullivan's words.

At last the pirates set sail, and everyone in Heat Island watched from the pier until the shadow of the fleet disappeared from the sea.

Because of the farewell, Ye Limo was still a little sad: "Bruce, Captain Sullivan treated us very well and helped us a lot. From now on, he won't bring all kinds of prey to see me every day."

The butler said: "Your Majesty, he has really helped us a lot. I will have the opportunity to thank him in the future. He is a loyal and reliable friend. He said he will come back, so you don't have to be too sad .”

Ye Limo felt the same way, he had an intuition that Sullivan would come back.

At this time, Sullivan was standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast sea, alone in a daze.

The pirates huddled together on the deck, whispering to each other because of the abnormality of the leader:

"The head of the group seems to be reluctant to part with Heat Island."

"No, he should be thinking about where we can stop the merchant ship carrying gold?"

"He's never been this deep."

"I think the leader seems to be missing his lover."

"I think you are drinking too much and talking drunk. I didn't see the head of the group courting any girl in Reidao."

……

Intermittent words drifted into Sullivan's ears with the sea breeze, but did not enter his heart.

He will find a chance to go back to Heat Island, to that wonderful island, to meet that stupid king.

Ye Limo quickly put all his energy into building the economy of the heat island.

According to his memory, Ye Limo drew the appearance of Sullivan's nautical chart, and asked the butler: "Bruce, do you think I drew it right?"

This map has no scale, no longitude and latitude, and the diagram is completely different from the modern one. Ye Limo spent a lot of effort to draw an octagon.

The butler stared at the front of the map for a long time before saying, "I don't think there is anything wrong, Your Majesty, what are you doing drawing this for?"

Ye Limo poked on the map and said, "We need money and gold coins, so I'll see which countries nearby can do business with us."

The housekeeper felt that Ye Limo was right. Their treasures had sunk into the sea, and now they could only make money on their own. There were no gold mines or refineries on the island. If they wanted gold coins, they could only do business with other countries.

"What do you think we have to sell?"

The heat island is too primitive. Many countries also have the things they have. Even if they sell fruit, they will rot after a few days on the merchant ship. Selling prey, these prey are very novel, but people outside can't cook, probably not. Someone will buy it.

Ye Limo feels that the whole island is full of treasures, but it is true that no one will know the treasures after taking them out.So it is very important to find a suitable trade partner.

The mainland controlled by Ronald is not good. I am afraid that he will be hunted down if he passes by. It depends on other neighboring countries.

The butler Bruce was also a figure who traveled around the world when he was young, so he knew quite a lot about the countries around him, so he introduced the situation of several countries to Ye Limo in detail, what about the reigning king, how are the local customs, and the relationship with the native kingdom? How is the relationship and so on.

Ye Limo listened and felt that it was a replica of modern international relations, except that the world has not yet formed a whole, so international relations are also relations with several neighboring countries.

Ye Limo's native kingdom is called the Aoxin Empire. Its territory is not small, and there are several other countries with comparable strength around it. There are mortal enemies between any two countries, but they can't let go of cooperation with neighboring countries.

The housekeeper analyzed: "Since you gave up the opportunity to do business with the local people, we can only start with a few surrounding countries. They are not close enough to give up their interests for friends, so if you can do business with them. After the business , we can slowly establish political contacts.”

In the housekeeper's view, now that Utami Island has become an independent country, it is natural to exercise the country's foreign powers. The most important thing is to have good relations with other countries. It is also a good thing to be independent from overseas and reduce territorial disputes, but Normal business contacts are still necessary.

Ye Limo thought for a while and said: "Our first overseas business must be well planned. The news that I broke up with the new king and fled to the heat island has already spread in various countries. I believe that many countries are also aware of the heat island I don’t know, taking advantage of this opportunity, we have to make our own momentum, so that others can’t figure out our bottom line, so that they don’t dare to act rashly.”

Although he came from a science and engineering background, Ye Limo, as a lover of military history, also understands the truth that a weak country has no diplomacy. This is a lesson learned through the pain of history, and the truth has been engraved in his bones.

The housekeeper agreed with Ye Limo's thoughts very much, saying: "Although the heat island is protected by the devil's sea, if we let them know that we are so backward, they will also become the object of their profit."

The steward's experience does not come from someone's teaching, but what he saw and heard during his travels, which gave him such a feeling.

Ye Limo couldn't help but think of the modernization process of the world. Didn't the primitive capital accumulation of old capitalist empires come from the invasion and plunder of all parts of the world?At that time, there were not only navigators who opened up new territories, but also various pirates.The activity of Sullivan's pirate group just shows that the world is moving in the direction of global integration.

Although the heat island is small, if it does not become stronger, it will become the target of their snatching.At that time, he, the king, might not be able to sleep peacefully.

After thinking for a while, Ye Limo sighed and said, "So what we need to think about now is, what can we sell to future business partners? What will they like?"

Sitting at the table, Ye Limo wrote down everything in the heat island: fruits, game, and salt.

Putting down his pen, Ye Limo seemed to be asking himself and answering: "Hei Dao, are there really only these things?"

As a king, he didn't know much about his country.

In fact, as a tropical island, Hot Island has good beaches and tourism resources, and has the potential to build itself into a country of flowers like Singapore, but it seems that traveling around is not popular in this world.

"Bruce, please go to the chef and tell him to help me prepare a nice dinner with roast meat and chicken and a nice salad, thank you."

"Okay, my lord, do you have any other requests?"

Ye Limo tapped the pen on the paper and said, "Go and invite me the most knowledgeable indigenous people. I will entertain them with these sumptuous dinners, and tell them about our heat island by the way."

The butler saluted and said, "Okay, Your Majesty. I'll make arrangements now."

Hearing about the king’s banquet, the selected natives were very happy. On the hot island, the king’s banquet is the most delicious. Everyone who was lucky enough to be invited was full of praise and looked forward to being lucky enough to be invited again .

The knowledgeable natives invited by Ye Limo have all walked out of this small settlement and have been to places farther than Sunyan Beach. Ye Limo can't understand the whole island by himself, so he can only use their mouths to talk about it. Have a general understanding of your own territory.

At the beginning of the dinner, Ye Limo arranged a recorder behind him to help record the narration of these people.

At first, the natives were a little nervous, but they gradually relaxed when they saw that the young king was not serious.

After Ye Limo greeted them for a while, he slowly began to ask them about their knowledge of the entire island.

During the conversation, Ye Limo slowly outlined the outline of the heat island.

Heat Island is indeed not a small island. On the island, there is a very high mountain range. It is said that the top of the mountain is often covered by clouds and mist. When it reveals its true face, it is a white mountain top. To have a snow mountain, the height of the mountain must reach 6000 meters.The coast where the aboriginals live today is the side with less wind, waves and storms. On the other side, the tides often come ashore. Some people tried to settle there before, but they couldn’t bear the constant threat of big storms, so they all moved. Come to this shore.The beach where the salt is dried is the most peaceful beach on the coastline of the entire hot island, so the cleanest and most salt flowers can be produced there.

According to their introduction, the water and heat of the entire island should be relatively uniform, but as the terrain of the middle mountain rises, there are also changes in temperature, which determine the changes in natural conditions and vegetation. In this regard, heat islands The natural environment is not so single.

Ye Limo nodded while listening. From this point of view, Hot Island is a veritable treasure island. Such a treasure island is like a pearl. It has been abandoned on the sea for so long. What Ye Limo wants to do is to brush off the dust on the pearl. Let it radiate its own light and release its own value.
