The super lord of the island

Chapter 20 020. Wall-E's Life
"Fourteen... Fifteen..."

Jialan stroked the knife marks on the stake with his hand, counting the days in his mouth, counting the three days during the camping period, it has been eighteen days since he came to Lightless Island.

It was less than two weeks before the appointment with Captain Philip.

"Perhaps we should send someone to the port to check and leave a mark. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a missed connection if the cargo ship arrives early?"

Thinking of this, Jialan couldn't help feeling worried.

"Meg! Mag!"

"My lord, what do you want from me?" Mag trotted all the way to Jialan, kneeling on one knee.

"From tomorrow onwards, send someone to the port every day to investigate and leave a mark in case you miss the opportunity to trade."

"Please rest assured, my lord! This subordinate will handle this matter personally." Mag knows the importance of trade and commerce, because Wuguang Island is no longer a regular trade route. If you miss this transaction, the next time the cargo ship will probably not detour Passed the lightless island.

In addition, if the lightless island cannot provide goods of sufficient value and purchasing power, the Provence will not come a second time.

This is the reality, the interests, and it is the bond that maintains the exchanges between the islands.

"Go ahead, I have to think about what I can sell."

In a blink of an eye, Mai Duo brought Jia Lan to the warehouse.

Pointing to one of the piles of leather, she said, "These are the goods that I specially cleaned up to sell for money. Five gray wolf skins, two wild boar skins, and extra field equipment, tents, knives, cooking utensils, etc."

After reading it, Jialan couldn't help sighing.

Animal leather is a good thing, but the quantity is too small and the quality is not good;
The rest of the field equipment is pretty good, with exquisite workmanship and high quality, and may be able to sell for a good price, but these things are opened from the system reward material package, and they are not the output of the Lightless Island at all, and they will be gone after they are sold.

He has several items similar to this in his inventory, such as black pearls, iron ore, and gentleman hats.

In other words, the random system rewards cannot be used as a source of income for operating the territory, otherwise Aurora Village will never develop.

When it comes to output, the natural fishery in his hands is quite qualified, with natural reproduction and an endless supply. The only flaw is that the seafood is too common, but the fish, shrimps, crabs and shells that are around an island are not worth buying all the way. sell.

"Is it possible to hunt wildly?"

Aurora Village is currently short of combat personnel, and hunting wild beasts and monsters is very risky. Jialan doesn't want to go this way unless it is absolutely necessary.

Mai Duo on the side seemed to see Jialan's worry, and couldn't help but reminded: "Master, have you forgotten Pharmacist Wali? He used to treat people's illnesses. The island of Lightless Island has dense forests and a variety of herbs. It shouldn't be difficult to get some good medicine."

"Pharmaceuticals... yes!"

Jialan slapped her big hand, almost forgetting that Wali Tonggai, the capable general next to her, was a pharmacist who was proficient in refining various medicines, and immediately asked Mai Duo to call Wali.

In the stone house, Wali rushed over and fell down in front of Jialan's toes.

"Wali Bronze Gai has met the lord."

"Get up Wally, you are an important arm, you don't need to perform such a solemn etiquette, just be the same as Mag."

"Yes, this subordinate will pay attention to it in the future." Wali stood up and patted the dirt on his body.

At this moment, Mai Duo had already left, leaving Jialan and Wali alone in the room.

Looking at the man who was a circle older than herself in front of her, Jialan couldn't help but recall the downcast look when she first saw him.

At that time, Wali was ragged, with sunken eye sockets, and was as thin as a beggar. If he hadn't taken him in, maybe a cold night would have killed him.

"Cough~Wali, you have been following me for half a month, how do you feel?"

"Feeling? Please forgive my lord, I can't understand." Wally's face was a little panicked.

"Don't be nervous, just tell me what you think of me or Aurora Village, and talk about how to go in the future. You know, I don't want to face you sweaty guys all day long."

Jialan joked half-jokingly.

"Uh... I understand." Wali wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking about how to answer.

From the moment he occupied the deserted village, he could see that Jialan was an ambitious lord, and he was unwilling to play house games in a remote place, so his answer must meet the psychological expectations of the other party.

After pondering for a moment, Wali said:

"My lord, after following you, I have never felt at ease like I am today. I don't have to worry about beasts, and I don't have to worry about being hungry. This is all brought by you."

"Yeah." Jialan nodded.

"As far as my subordinates see, Wuguang Island is rich in resources. The only thing that is lacking is the manpower needed to develop the resources. As long as there are people, forests, rivers, beaches... and other places can unearth great potential."

Jialan frowned and interrupted.

"Of course I know the importance of manpower, but the crux of the problem is where to get people? No lord is willing to move his people to other people's territories."

"Slaves." Wally looked straight at Jialan and repeated, "You can buy a large number of slaves and come back to develop the island, plant, fish, and hunt! You have an island for them to work! There are endless things to do every day. To live, but to give them just enough food to feed their stomachs!"

"yes."

Jialan was a little moved. After all, the law here allows slavery, and naturally human trafficking is also allowed.

"...but where can I buy slaves?"

"Just leave it to the merchants to spend money. As long as you give enough gold shells, they will send the slaves to your island with their own hands." Wali said easily.

Speaking of this, Jialan had some doubts.

"Aren't you a pharmacist, why are you so familiar with the slave trade?"

"..." Wally looked embarrassed, and then explained: "My mentor, once bought slaves to verify his pharmacy achievements."

"I see."

"And I am one of the slaves he bought back."

"Uh..." Now it was Jialan's turn to be embarrassed, "Sorry, that must have been a painful experience."

"It's okay." Wali raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sunny smile, "Because I was highly resistant to medicine, he kept me by his side as an apprentice, testing medicine and taking care of daily life. Later, I found a chance to strangle him with my own hands. He died and inherited everything from him.

So despite the past ten years, I still call him my mentor. "

"I didn't expect you to have such a tortuous experience. The proposal about slaves is very good. I will consider it, but buying slaves requires a lot of money, and the existing output alone may not be enough. I hope you can..."

Jialan stopped talking and did not continue.

"Understood, since I become your follower, assisting you is the meaning of my existence. This subordinate will go back and prepare. At that time, people may need to help pick herbs."

"of course."

Jialan nodded, and then stretched out her hand as a gesture of seeing off the guest, ending the conversation.
