Farming in Pirate World

"Tch, if you think about work all day long, girls won't like it if it's so boring."

"Speaking of which, you have just turned 20, how can you act like an adult?"

Ever since Li Ming became the mayor, Dalton felt like he was a different person.

In the past, I could chat with him casually, but now I have become mature and serious.

The whole person's temperament has changed.

"Uncle Dalton, please stop joking. What we are going to say next is very important."

"Okay, okay, I understand. If you have anything to do, just ask."

He was obviously only a half-grown boy, but as soon as he became serious, he exuded an inexplicable aura that was permeable. Even Dalton couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and the relaxed atmosphere was gone.

Dalton was a little numb, but he still tried hard to maintain his cynical persona and try his best to not appear so gloomy in front of Li Ming.

"What if this kid finds out that I'm actually a little afraid of him? How can I get around in the future?"

Li Ming didn't know that he had so many inner dramas. He took out a sea chart from the drawer and placed it directly on the table.

"This is the chart I exchanged from the passing ship dealer last time. According to the information the other party told me, our island is here."

Li Ming pointed to a corner of the chart, where Li Ming specially used a pen to erase the traces.

This island is so small that the location of this island is not even marked on the most widely circulated nautical charts.

Only through word of mouth from businessmen did anyone know that there was a small island at this location on the sea, which could supply some fresh water, but it was not of much value.

There is no way, this island is too poor, and there are no specialties. If there is no need to replenish fresh water, there will be no ships docking.

"Our location here is in the northwest of the East China Sea. The closest ones to us are the Kingdom of Ouikot here and the Kingdom of Saint Ni on the other side."

"The Saint Ni Kingdom is rich in cloth and livestock because it is backed by the mainland, but we are not in urgent need of cloth. As for livestock, when Kelvin arrives, the quantity will be almost enough. No matter how much livestock we have, our country will not be in urgent need of it." The island probably won’t be able to support it.”

"The Ouikot Kingdom is a large kingdom located on the edge of the continent. It has many fragmented islands. It is rich in fruits, has convenient transportation, and is rich in commerce. However, it imports a lot of food. For us, it is the most suitable. "

"So, I plan to rely on the shipping routes to go to the Kingdom of Ouikot. I will first establish contact with the islands on the edge of the Kingdom of Ouikot and maintain a strong commercial channel. In this way, no matter what happens to our town in the future, With development, there will be no shortage of export channels for the materials produced.”

"what do you think."

Li Ming looked expectantly at Dalton's thoughtful face.

Although the current development of the town is only in its infancy, the situation after development must also be considered.

However, he only knows how to farm and is not proficient in other aspects. In addition, this is his first voyage, so he is eager for Dalton's advice.

Dalton was well-informed and believed in having great opinions.

This is also the reason why Li Ming left him alone.

Sure enough, Dalton looked at the chart and pondered twice, silently meditating, his whole brows knitted together.

"What should I do? I don't understand it at all."

"By the way, what about commerce, transportation, imports? Are these things related in any way?"

"When did he learn so much information?"

"In this case, if he asked me what my opinion was, how should I answer it so as not to lose face."

After all, he is just a warrior. It's okay to let him fight pirates, but if he is asked to make suggestions, he won't be worth half a star.

Dalton's head was running wildly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Uh...um...ahem"

"Well... I heard that there was a rebellion in the Kingdom of Oiket in the early years. It has not recovered yet. It has weak control over the islands in the territory. Will it have any impact on your plan?"

Dalton quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and praised his wit.

Since you don't understand what Li Ming said about the plan, just don't criticize the plan itself.

And Li Ming also suddenly realized that he really didn't expect this.

After pondering for a long time, Li Ming considered various possibilities and found that they would have little impact on his plan.

This happened more than ten years ago. Even if it has some impact, it will only cause a little chaos in the border areas.

However, some precautions must be taken.

"In that case, to be on the safe side, Uncle Dalton should go to sea with me."

This was Li Ming's original idea, but Dalton was the town's sheriff and defense captain after all, which made Li Ming hesitate.

There must always be some defensive force left in the town.

But now, after a comprehensive comparison, it is better to let Dalton go to sea together.

"Uncle, you have been in the navy. You are familiar with things at sea. I can learn from you at any time."

"Would you like me to go to sea too..."

Dalton groaned and nodded:

"It's fine with me if you feel it's necessary."

"I've told you before, I support your idea."

"Then, uncle, do you think we need to consider anything else?"

"It should be fine. I think there's nothing wrong with your idea. Just go ahead and do it boldly."

Li Ming also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the affirmation from Dalton, a senior navy man.

It has to be said that Dalton's status in his heart is still very high.

And Dalton was relieved.

After he picked Li Ming back, he also liked him very much. He often mistakenly regarded him as his nephew and took care of him. Recommending him to be the mayor was more like a support from his predecessors, but it would be too embarrassing if he showed his timidity in front of him now. .

The two of them talked about going to sea for a while, and then went about their own business.

This time they went to sea, Li Ming led the team, and Dalton was the captain, coordinating everything on the ship.

There are a total of seven sailors on the boat, two of whom are old fishermen personally selected by Old Maud and are proficient in water kung fu.The remaining five people are all young and strong boys, and they can survive even if they encounter pirates.

After three days of continuous preparation with gongs and drums, the Tiche officially set sail on the morning of the fourth day.

Li Ming was sitting in the captain's cabin, studying the charts with Dalton:

"I don't know why, but I always feel that the Kingdom of Oykot... um... sounds a bit familiar... or rather, it looks familiar."

"Have I seen it somewhere?"

"By the way, uncle, have you chosen a landing place?"

Li Ming raised his head and looked at the thoughtful Dalton.

Dalton smiled confidently. He finally found his confidence in front of Li Ming on sailing.

With a wave of his hand, he clicked on an island on the sea chart:

"This is it, Housha Town."
