The super lord of the island

Chapter 135 134. Population Trading
Looking down in the blue sky, there is a sudden depression on the stretching and smooth coastline, forming a semicircular natural port.

Looking in, there is a small pier in the center of the port, and the plank road extending in all directions extends from the shore to the sea, planning a neat layout.

In a small berth in the pier, a single-masted and two-sail cargo ship is docked, with a tuna pattern carved on the side.

This kind of ship is one size smaller than the Provence before the upgrade, and it cannot withstand too big a storm, so it is only suitable for sailing in a small area of ​​the sea.

Already tourists can't wait to leave the ship and walk on the plank road, enter the pier to rest, and wait for the staff to receive them.

Two male and female tourists who looked like lovers leaned close to each other, whispering to each other frequently, arousing the envy of others.

"Captain, there is something weird here."

"It can be seen that not only are there no service staff to receive tourists in the pier, but there is a group of soldiers watching eagerly."

Weiss gestured to the soldiers outside the pier who were staring at everyone indifferently with his eyes, reminding his partner to be careful, and holding the woman's hand became more intimate.

Irene, who pretended to be a couple, understood, let her body be embraced by Weiss, and raised her head to give Weiss a wet French kiss in public.

"Hey! Look at this young man!"

"Simply awesome!"

The behavior of the two immediately aroused the excitement of other tourists. After all, the atmosphere of the alliance is relatively open, and the residents are highly accepting. Kissing in public is not an excessive behavior, but will be encouraged.

After being manipulated by the two, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became active, and the tourists began to communicate with each other.

"My grandfather was exiled here because he violated the law, and he came here to fulfill his grandmother's wishes."

"Yeah, I heard from my friend that there has been a miraculous change in Wuguang Island, and I want to come and see, my friend, why did you come here?"

"I'm a barber, and I couldn't stay in the town, so I decided to open a shop here."

"Haha! You are so humorous, you want to shave your head with a monster?"

"I heard that there are hundreds of people living on this island, at least a little less, but no one competes with me for business, what about the two of you."

"Ah~ My boyfriend and I are on a pre-wedding trip."

"So romantic."

"It's okay, my boyfriend loves me very much." Irene held Weiss's arm, and seemed to be completely immersed in her identity.

After a while, a group of people came out of the pier. The leader was dressed luxuriously, with a noble medal representing the status of a baron on his chest, and his face was very young.

The young nobleman chatted with the soldiers outside the pier for a while, and then walked into the lounge.

"Welcome everyone to the Isle of Light! I am the owner of this island, you can call me Baron Jialan; this island has not been developed for a short time, and there are a lot of monsters and beasts living in the forest, which is very dangerous for ordinary people.

But don't worry, my soldiers will lead you to play safely, and only charge a small fee. "

Jialan smiled. Although he was young, he had the demeanor of a lord.

After the opening, Feynman behind him came out and led the tourists away from the pier one after another, heading to the village to settle down.

"Who is the captain, please?"

"I! I am!"

A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, fair skin, and a big white beard stood up.

"Is that tuna ship outside yours?" Jialan reconfirmed.

"It's mine, but it's not called tuna..."

"Very well, Tuna, maybe we should find a quiet place to talk, come with me."

Seeing that there was only one person in the other party, Jia Lan didn't talk too much nonsense, and led the other party to the VIP room in the pier, and went straight to the point.

"Want to earn gold shells?"

"miss you!"

"Small earning or big earning?"

The fat captain with the white beard was a little confused, but he still followed his heart.

"I haven't married a wife yet, and I want to make a lot of money."

"If you have ideals, I suggest you marry more." Master Jialan nodded.

"thanks…"

Jialan continued: "I have a business here, and I can make a lot of money, but it's not something anyone can do."

Hearing this, Captain Bai Fatty stood up and bowed, "Please give me a chance, Lord Baron! Your will is my creed! The Tuna will do its best to serve you, Lord Baron! Please order, Lord Baron!"

"Haha! Don't be too anxious, sit down and listen to me slowly..."

Jialan is well aware that the biggest resource gap in the lightless island is not food, housing, or even superhumans, but residents and labor.

"You are a native of Gemu Island, and you are sailing in the Amethyst Sea, so you should be familiar with the conditions of each island."

"Yes!"

"Do you know the total population of the Amethyst Islands?"

Fatty Bai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Jialan to ask this, and after thinking for a while, he replied.

"The Crystal Islands consist of thirteen large and small islands, with a population of about 500 million. In terms of territory population, the entire Principality of Tiwana is comparable only to the neighboring Red Coral Islands."

"Hmm... With so many residents, how many of them live in poverty?"

"Well, I don't know the details, but every town has slums or slums, so there are at least millions of poor residents. After all, the resources of each island are so small, there will always be some people who have no job or income. .”

"You are right, so the task I entrusted to you is to send these residents who can't live on other islands to the Lightless Island, and my territory will receive them, give them jobs, give them housing, and give them wages .”

"You...Are you sure you want to do this?!" After hearing the young baron's remarks, the fat man with a white beard looked disbelieving.

Of course, with his eyes, he naturally couldn't understand Jialan's thoughts.

"You just have to do it. I'll give you 10 silver shells for every free citizen who migrates, how about it?"

Before Feili left, Jialan also told him to recruit free people, but the Provence was going to the far sea, and those who were not familiar with the place would at most bring back a boatload of slaves.

On the contrary, it is much more reliable to entrust this task to the locals, and the price is also lower, only 10 silver coins are enough.

You only need to take care of a few meals, and there is almost no cost. 10 silver coins makes a net profit of 9 silver coins, and the profit of bringing a hundred people here is 9 gold shells, which is much better than doing a meager profit.

The key is that there are so many poor people. There are at least tens of thousands of residents in a slum in a single town. This is an endless stream of wealth.

For Jialan, 10 silver coins can own a labor force, even if they have to pay their salaries, but compared with slaves who spend three or four gold shells at every turn, they save a lot of money.

In addition, free people have consumption needs and are an important demographic composition that stimulates the island's domestic demand.

In this deal, both parties are winners, and there is no reason to refuse.

"My name is Hasen, and I have accepted this business."

"Happy cooperation, the sooner the better."

Jialan stood up and shook hands with Hasen, verbally reaching a deal agreement.
