Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 71 The Telescope Business

It turns out that the people on the island also quickly learned of Sorel's diplomatic failure, and knew that King Bairos would not easily reach a settlement.But they saw that Ye Limo was still busy working every day, and Sullivan was still busy training the navy.Everyone seemed calm and calm, and the residents immediately felt relieved. As long as His Majesty the King is at ease, they don't have to be afraid.

Ye Limo is like the god of the sea on this island.

Ye Limo summoned Zhongxi the next day.

There are more than 30 people who followed Nakashi to Reshima this time. In addition to his wife and children, there are also several of his friends and his family members.

These people are people who have the same ideas as Zhongxi, and they usually work together.It is precisely because of this that Bylos felt that they were all spies and belonged to a group, so he wanted to arrest them all and put them in prison.

Except for Zhongxi, these men are basically very skilled boatmen.

Ye Limo was very happy to see that Zhongxi had brought so many advanced and excellent boatmen to Reidao. He summoned Zhongxi in person and asked about him and his family.

Seeing Ye Limo being happy, Zhongxi felt a little different from before. The one in front of him was a king, so he couldn't treat him as an ordinary guest like before.

Ye Limo knew that it was impossible for Zhongxi to treat him like he did when they first met, so he tried his best to show his affinity, hoping that Zhongxi would not have any scruples about him because of his status as a king.

Hearing Ye Limo's condolences to his family, Zhong Xi said, "They are all well, Your Majesty. Although they were frightened at sea yesterday, they have been well taken care of after boarding the boat. Now that we have arrived at the island, they I also heard that you are a very benevolent and kind king, and I feel at ease a lot. And I am willing to live on the hot island and become your people."

Hearing what Zhongxi said, Ye Limo was of course very happy.

The residents on the heat island are slowly increasing, and now there are more than 6000 people, but there are not many people with good craftsmanship. This is what the heat island needs, people with excellent craftsmanship.

Especially an excellent boatman like Zhong Xi.A heat island is an island destined to become a part of marine civilization. If it is too backward in shipbuilding technology, it will inevitably be very backward in other aspects.Just as countries on land must build many roads to ensure smooth traffic, maritime countries also need to have good shipbuilding technology to build strong and long-distance ships to ensure the vitality and development of the country.

In order to show the importance he attaches to Zhongxi and the others, Ye Limo specially arranged a wooden house for them to live in first.

When other people saw that His Majesty the King gave Zhong Xi such special treatment, they knew that these people must have special abilities, so they did not dare to underestimate them.

Although a small group of people will have some dissatisfaction and dissent, no one will object to His Majesty's decision. His Majesty is wise and wise, and he will not do unreasonable things.

Sorel put aside his diplomatic affairs with Bylos, and began to actively contact Prince Gather, expressing that His Majesty the King wanted to discuss the telescope with them.

Of course, Prince Gather and others have been paying close attention to the matter between Hidro Island and Bylos. Hearing that the diplomatic relations between Hidro Island and Bylos failed, Sorel left Bailos in despair, and Emperor Seth'an said that he would deal with Hidro Island. It was a pity to start the war. Although the hot island is not rich, it is also a small island full of mysteries, and their king is really an interesting person.

Suddenly receiving Sorel's invitation, Prince Gather was very surprised. He didn't expect that Heat Island didn't take Bailos' threat to heart at all, and instead continued to carry out their business activities.It's as if the threat of Byros didn't exist at all.

This matter made Prince Jiaser very interesting, and he admired Ye Limo's courage. At this time, he can still think about business.

It was precisely because of such interest that Prince Gather readily accepted the invitation, and made an agreement with Soler that they would still meet and discuss on the high seas.

After making an agreement with Prince Gather, Sorel went to report to Ye Limo.Ye Limo didn't have any opinion about discussing the telescope with Prince Gather and others, and proceeded according to Sorel's plan.

A few days later, under the escort of the navy ship led by Sullivan, Ye Limo and Sorel took a boat to the high seas to meet Prince Gather at sea.

Prince Gather still brought a few friends to see Ye Limo.

For Ye Limo, these are new partners, and it is inevitable that they need to get to know each other again.

Seeing Ye Limo, the others were very curious. This was the first time they had seen such a legendary king.

Ye Limo became the king of Heat Island, and in less than a year, there have been many new things, which made people remember the place of Heat Island, which shows that he is not waiting for nothing.

For the large number of those people, Ye Limo also accepted it generously.He knew that the king of a small island like him would not attract their attention, but they would definitely be curious.

Only when their curiosity is satisfied can they continue to discuss business.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone finally got to the point of discussing business.

Prince Gather asked bluntly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to exchange the secret of the telescope with us?"

Ye Limo said: "Of course I want something that our heat island doesn't have."

Prince Gather thought for a while and asked, "Is it gold coins, people, or food?"

Ye Limo shook his head and said, "Not at all, Your Highness."

These things are indeed what the heat island lacks now, but they are not the most scarce.Gold coins can be earned slowly; food is being planted now, and it will be harvested soon; as for the population, many people are now coming to the heat island and are willing to settle in the heat island. I believe that the heat island will have sufficient population in the future.

An impatient person next to him said, "Then what exactly do you want?"

Ye Limo said: "I want to buy iron ore or pig iron."

Two people couldn't help laughing and said, "Just a small telescope, do you still want to exchange such important materials as iron ore?"

Ye Limo felt embarrassed and said: "Since you underestimate the function of the telescope, I don't think there is anything to talk about."

Prince Gather quickly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be offended, and don't care about people with short knowledge like them."

Ye Limo just pretended to leave the meeting, not really leaving.

Now that he has left, there is no way to talk about this business, so he sat back and said: "Since you doubt the use of the telescope, now my commander in chief of the navy is here, and you all know that not long ago, he just He fought a battle with Byros's navy and won it. You can ask him how much the telescope helped him."

All eyes turned to Sullivan.

Sullivan said very cooperatively: "It is true, Your Royal Highness. About half a month ago, I met Bailuosi's navy at sea. They had five warships, and we only had three navy ships. Among them I believe everyone can imagine the difference in combat effectiveness."

Of course, naval ships and warships cannot be compared. Although they are both naval ships, warships travel faster, have better equipment, and have better technology than naval ships. The people in power in these countries certainly have some concepts.

"And the reason why we were able to defeat them is because first, I saw their warships coming towards us from a distance, so I made preparations early. Although we hope that it will not happen when we meet Friction and war, but we were prepared for it, so we preempted it. Second, because of the binoculars, I was able to see one of the soldiers on the other side shoot first, and in a situation like this, I was of course able to start firing back. gone."

Hearing Sullivan's explanation, everyone knew the details of this battle for the first time, and they were a little shocked. They didn't expect that such a small thing as a telescope would help such a big help.

Ye Limo said: "This is only a small effect on the navy. Even if there is no enemy, it can help the navy see the storm and dark clouds in the distance as soon as possible, or help them see the big whirlpool or Reefs, help them avoid these dangers. In addition, it can also be used on merchant ships, and even you can use it in your life. For example, when you watch a horse race or watch a musical on the stage, you want to see clearly Actions that were not clearly seen before can be done.”

Ye Limo's remarks undoubtedly expanded the use of the telescope a lot.In the past, they just thought that the telescope could be applied to the navy.

Those who saw each other were silent, as if they were calculating the benefits and value.Ye Limo smiled slightly and said, "In this case, do you think it's worth exchanging iron ore for the telescope?"

Prince Gather was the first to smile and said, "Of course it's worth it."

Ye Limo immediately took advantage of the situation and praised: "His Royal Highness is indeed a discerning person."

The prince next to him asked again: "Then may I ask His Majesty the King, what conditions do you have for iron ore or pig iron?"

Ye Limo said: "I don't want you to give it to me for free, I want to import it at a low price, and you must guarantee my supply."

For these princes and nobles, this is not a difficult task. In this era, many mines are still in the hands of them, which is their cornucopia of cash cows.So doing business with them is much simpler and more convenient than doing business with a country.

Prince Gather looked back at his companions: "How about it, are you interested?"

Others also asked Prince Gather: "Your Highness, what about you? What do you think?"

Prince Gather smiled and said, "Of course I'm very interested. Even if I don't do business, I still want to help His Majesty the King."

This is really interesting, Ye Limo snorted.

Prince Gather is the one who will take advantage of the most.

With Prince Gather leading the charge, the other princes and nobles let go of their worries and said, "We are also interested."
