Farming in Pirate World

"slave?"

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"No, I'm not in the slave business."

Aaron touched his nose, feeling a little upset.

"So, what do you want?"

When Li Ming and Xiao Ba were discussing business, Aaron was listening the whole time. Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his face.

I didn't know it clearly before, but after my own searching, I found that this island was really in utter poverty.

"It's really troublesome to do business, but it's more convenient to be a pirate."

Aaron thought to himself, looking at Li Ming with a slightly unkind look.

Li Ming also noticed his gaze and lit another cigarette, slightly worried.

Aaron wanted to buy this treasure worth nine million beli, but there was nothing to buy on the island.

"In that case, are you interested in cooperating with Sir Aaron?"

"cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperation!"

"I have to say that Mr. Aaron really has no business talent. I have what Mr. Aaron lacks!"

After saying this, Li Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly discovered that cooperative development might be a good idea!

However, Li Ming didn't know whether Aaron would accept it, or whether he could understand what he said next.

Li Ming took a deep breath, took a deep drag on the cigarette, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then spoke slowly:

"This island has huge development value!"

"This island is located on the edge of the Kingdom of Oiket. The nobles have close to zero control over this island. Aaron, you are the god here!"

"With the Ouikot Kingdom as our back, the import of raw materials and the export of products will be extremely easy!"

"The area of ​​the island is acceptable, it has a sufficient labor force base, the climate conditions are not bad, and it can even barely grow some fruits, so it has a certain farming foundation."

"With my help, you can even grow some valuable crops!"

"With such a large area on the island and its superior conditions, as long as one round of crops matures, its income will be completely immeasurable!"

At this point, Li Ming's eyes shone, but Aaron waved his hand impatiently.

"Say it more simply!"

"What good do you do to me by saying so much?"

It had to be said that he didn't understand a word Li Ming said.

"Lord Aaron, how much tribute can you collect in a month now?"

"According to my estimation, it won't exceed 50 million beli a month."

"So what."

Speaking of this, Aaron became agitated.

Although Li Ming's guess was not quite right, it was almost the same.

When he first occupied the island, he looted it for a while and clearly marked the price, 100,000 beli for adults and 50,000 beli for children. He directly wiped out all the oil and water in the town.

Then, to prevent anyone from escaping, he destroyed all the ships on the island.

The only ship left on the entire island is the pirate ship of the Aaron Pirates.

While this prevents humans from escaping, it also cuts off the entire island from communication with the outside world, including trade.

Without trade, the island's economy has become sluggish, oil and water have continued to decrease, and offerings have also been reduced little by little.

There is really no other way. Even if we are cutting leeks, we still have to have leeks to cut.

If we continue to offer such high tributes, even if we kill some people, they won't be able to hand them over.

Although killing people is not a big deal, making money is the most important thing.

Until now, Aaron had to lower the offering to "10,000 beri for adults and 5,000 beri for children." But even with this, there are still people who can't come up with the money for the offering.

It is a troublesome thing to collect offerings every time.

It is even said that Aaron had an idea and recently destroyed the entire town of Hosha, the poorest town, as a warning to others.

If this dilemma hadn't arisen, given Aaron's temperament, they would have sunk by the time they discovered the Tyche.

Therefore, although he did not understand, he was somewhat interested in the cooperation proposed by Li Ming.

"How much my offering is, it has nothing to do with you!"

"You low-level humans are really in trouble."

"What you mean by cooperation could be simpler."

Aaron did not hide his impatience at all, and Li Ming also reorganized his thoughts:

"To put it simply, you contribute the land and efforts, and I provide the technology and funds..."

"No, that's not right!"

"As long as Lord Aaron allows you to lend me part of your power on the island, I can run this island well for you."

Li Ming's eyes shone, but Aaron remained unmoved:

"Be more specific!"

Li Ming directly spread his palms:

"Lend me this island and I will give you 500 million beli every three months!"

"Five hundred million Baileys?!"

Hearing this number, Aaron, who was originally impatient, suddenly became energetic. He looked at the five fingers that Li Ming stretched out, feeling a little surprised.

500 million beli, which was his dedication for nearly a year, and his annual income tripled or quadrupled!

Not only Aaron, but also Xiaoba, who was dazed by Li Ming's words, also had his eyes shining.

But Aaron is Aaron after all, he is a man who has seen the world after all.

After a brief moment of surprise, Aaron quickly calmed down.

"Why every three months?"

"Because the harvest cycle is about three months, of course, the money will not be handed over to you all at once every third month, but every time the crops mature, we can distribute a dividend. On average, it is about

One hundred million beli every three months!"

"More than that, as long as cooperation begins, these humans on the island will gradually become rich, and we need to hire them as labor force."

"As long as they have money, it will be smoother when you collect the offerings."

Aaron was silent for a while, seeming to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, while Li Ming waited quietly.

Xiaoba seemed to want to express his opinion, but because he didn't understand very well, he didn't say anything and went to play with Will again.

"What guarantee do you have that you can do what you say?"

"In other words, why should I believe you."

Aaron asked leisurely, but Li Ming had already prepared:

"I can't guarantee it, but even if my plan fails, there will be no loss for Lord Aaron."

"Furthermore, as long as Lord Aaron agrees to my conditions, I will not leave this island again until 100 million Baileys are paid."

"I've blocked my life here!"

"good!"

Aaron had a ferocious smile on his face because he was slightly excited.

"You are really an interesting human being!"

"I agree to your cooperation."

Li Ming didn't know how he returned to Housha Town. He only knew that he explained the relevant matters clearly to Aaron and took Xiaoba's "Octopus Pot" back to Housha Town.

"Are you serious?"

When he made it clear to Dalton about his cooperation with Aaron, Dalton's face darkened.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know it very well."

"I'm working with the most vicious criminals in the entire East China Sea to develop this island."

"But this time, he was only on the third floor, and he thought I was on the second floor, but in fact, I was on the fifth floor!"

"However, even if his force value is extremely high, he is still no match for me in terms of calculation."

............................

PS: This chapter gave me a headache writing it.

The specific number of Aaron's offerings each month is not mentioned in the original work, but it is definitely not "100,000 for adults and 50,000 for children" every month.

Even if they kill everyone on this island, they won't be able to raise so much money.

Even if the total number of people on the entire island does not exceed 8,000, which is less than the undergraduates in our school, it has been more than ten years! It has been like this every month, how many Baileys will Aaron have in his hands? He dare not even count!

This is the fault of the original work, I won’t bear it!

Your Excellency, ten thousand beli, and a monthly tribute of two million beli to Colonel Mouse, plus bribes to various navies, plus the daily consumption of the pirate group. I have thought about this value for a long time, and I feel it is almost the same.

Finally, I sincerely ask for votes. Dear readers, one vote is never too few, and two votes are never too many.
