Farming in Pirate World

"The system will not lie to itself!"

Although Li Ming doesn't like to rely too much on the power of the system due to his personality, it is undeniable that the system has indeed given him a lot of help.

The help provided by this system is not obvious. It is not like the novels Li Ming read in his previous life. It will not make him become a superman in a short time, or directly summon powerful subordinates for him, but the effect of this system is not small.

.

After all, Li Ming knows very well that he is just an ordinary person, and the ability of the system is indispensable to his ability to reach this point.

Since this prescription was given by the system, he had reason to believe that this prescription was really effective.

Seeing his firm opinion, the uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

Telling Li Ming that there is poison in this prescription is just a kind reminder from him. He will still make money by selling medicine after all.

"If that's the case, then I'm going to ask my old friends who still has some inventory!"

As he said that, the uncle slapped his knee and stood up with a "scratch".

"Uncle, I have nothing to do anyway, so let me go and have a look with you."

Seeing that the uncle was leaving, Li Ming quickly followed him.

"Come with me? That's fine, but you have to follow me closely and don't tell others that you are here to buy medicinal materials!"

"Why?!"

"Don't ask so many questions, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Li Ming frowned, a little unhappy, and then thought about it, maybe because he wanted to monopolize his business.

This can be regarded as the instinct of businessmen all over the world.

But it doesn't matter, after all, what Li Ming wants to do is not just buy some medicinal materials.

He wanted to examine the environment of the island. If it was suitable, he might be able to cooperate with the farmers here to systematically grow these medicines.

These are things more expensive than gold, and Li Ming certainly doesn't want to let them go.

As for inspecting the planting environment... to plant crops systematically, theoretically there should be no more professional person in the world than Li Ming.

...

On the other side, Will walked blankly on the snow-covered street, occasionally seeing familiar crew members shouting happily and pouring into the tavern in groups to squander the wages they had just received.

They didn't even have time to take a shower first.

"I'd better take a shower first."

Will smelled the clothes on his body, but he didn't smell anything special, but he noticed the frowns on the passers-by's expressions when they looked at him, and he could roughly feel that he did have a smell.

Will randomly found a bathhouse called "Hot Spring" and soaked in it comfortably. The hot water spread over his neck, making him feel that all the muscles in his body were relaxed, and the long-term fatigue was quietly dissipated.

"What should I do after taking a bath?"

"Why don't you go follow Mr. Li Ming."

For such a long time, Will has been by Li Ming's side. Li Ming was like his backbone, and it was really uncomfortable to leave him suddenly.

"Young man, I think you are very unfamiliar, are you a foreigner?"

"Well, we are passing ship dealers. We are here to replenish our supplies and take a rest."

"Oh, that's really strange."

"No outsiders have come here for a long time."

"?"

Will looked at the tall man beside him with some disbelief.

"Why, I think it's pretty good here!"

"Although it's a bit cold, as long as I can take a hot bath comfortably when I get home every day, it's already the most comfortable thing."

"Yes, you are right!"

Dalton smiled, and then leaned against the edge of the bathtub in a lost state. His powerful muscles bulged unconsciously, and his palms clenched unconsciously. The veins on his arms popped out, making him look extremely ferocious.

He seemed to have thought of something painful and was deep in memories, muttering unconsciously:

"But... this country is dead."

"Dead? Why!"

Will looked a little surprised, this was different from what he saw on the street.

Although it is a bit desolate, there are still people shoveling snow on the streets, which at least makes the main roads very spacious and convenient to walk on.

"This country is called the magnetic drum country, also called the iron barrel country."

"In the past, this was the holy land of medicine in the world. Because there were many unique and rare medicinal materials on the island, outstanding doctors from all over the world came here in droves."

"At that time, this country will truly be alive!"

"And now... after the old king died, the new king didn't know how to govern the country at all. Instead of encouraging the arrival of doctors, he drove all the outstanding doctors out of the country, leaving only twenty doctors in the country.

A doctor!"

"And these twenty outstanding doctors, called [Doctors 20], only take orders from the king."

"Since then, without doctors, no one can use the countless "treasures" on the island. Businessmen have also been deterred by heavy taxes. Now people here even have trouble eating..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you so much, but in order to avoid getting into trouble, you should leave as soon as possible after taking a rest. If the king finds out, it will be troublesome."

"Onerous taxes? If the taxes are very high, there will be no businessmen coming."

Will keenly grasped the key point in his words. He once worked in the Dawn Chamber of Commerce and had some understanding of this.

"If there were no businessmen, he would make a lot less money."

"Yes! But these are medicinal materials. No matter how high the tax is, those who are in urgent need of life-saving medicinal materials will go bankrupt to buy them."

"Under such circumstances, only common people have no money to make, but he still has money to squander."

"Not only that, he can also use these medicinal materials to exchange for other rare items to provide him with a comfortable life."

"But, doesn't he care about the life and death of civilians?"

Dalton shook his head:

"He regards everything in this country, including its citizens, as his own private property."

"Under this situation, if the citizens want to live, they must rely on his rule and can no longer resist him..."

“So, the first article of this country’s constitution is: [Those who disobey the king’s orders shall die.]”

Will nodded, finally understanding what he said.

"So, you'd better leave as soon as possible. If the king knows about your existence, it will be troublesome."

"He will regard you as his property and snatch you away at all costs."

Will nodded and suddenly asked:

"If you tell me this, does it really matter?"

"You should be considered betraying your king by doing this."

"..."

Dalton thought about it, remained silent for a long time, and finally stood up, shook his head, shook off the remaining water drops on his body, and then turned around and left:

"It doesn't matter, after all, this country is dead."

Will looked at his majestic back and inexplicably thought of Uncle Dalton on Isle of Air.

Even their names are so similar.

"It's better to tell Mr. Li Ming about this first."
