I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King Chapter 341

Chapter 341: You're deceiving the heavens!

 The phone bug fell silent again.

Lily sat at the table, and after being silent for a while, she said, "They actually came out on their own initiative."

During the operation to invade Whitebeard's territory, some people also encountered the Whitebeard Pirates, or the remnants of the group.

Hawkins met Rakuyo, the captain of the seventh division of the Whitebeard Pirates, who was also somewhat famous in the sea and used a bolas as a weapon.

A battle broke out between the two sides, but facing his fruit power, Lakyo had no choice but to retreat.

Akin met Jingudo, the captain of the 11th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. He has a pair of iron arm armor and is proficient in seeing and armed.

But in the face of his ability, Jin Guduo was obviously restrained. A pair of proud iron gauntlets were instantly melted into molten iron. The high-heat molten iron injured his hands, and he was defeated by Ajin.

It was just that the other party's men tried their best to cover and took Jin Guduo away.

Ulki also encountered Blenheim, and after the battle, the opponent retreated.

Although they were victorious and gained a lot of territory, the opponent would also harass them from time to time, forcing them to increase their defense.

The battle with Big Mom and the loyalty of many pirate groups allowed them to maintain more than a hundred troops stationed on the islands near O'Hara and those nearby routes.

However, for the new territories that go deep into the new world, more than 300 people are now required to enter each territory. Some important islands have even 500 people and are equipped with a captain.

Thousands of people were put into the Magnetic Magnetic Island, and they had to be guarded by these large cadres to avoid being attacked by the remnants of the Whitebeards.

They can definitely be beaten back, but the intrusion from time to time is annoying enough. The manpower and material resources consumed, as well as the security required for the resources sent by the islands, have been greatly strengthened.

But the sea is too big, and those people can't find it even if they want to look for it, so they can only waste their time doing this.

It's fine now.

They finally came out.

“After defeating them, we can slowly conquer the sphere of influence we have defined.

Lily evoked a smile: "During this period, the supply ships they robbed also caused us a lot of losses."

"Those are the little things."

Sage picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it and smiled:

"Everything can confuse people, but the battle line cannot confuse others. No matter how we intrude or rob, we are always on the road to victory."

"Sarge, you have always been so confident." Lily said.

"Of course, I am the confident little prince of the East China Sea. No setback can defeat me, hahahaha!" Sage laughed proudly.

"Then I have something to report. Before I received Tiqi's call, I also received a phone call."

Lily said: "Two days ago, the spices delivered by Serabas were robbed by the Whitebeard Pirates."

Because the ship was also destroyed, only a dozen of his men survived by chance. It took two days to find a way to find the phone bug to report.

Sagar picked up a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wings, rinsed it lightly, and put it on Lily's plate.

"It's a small matter, not a big problem. Now the rats are cornered and have come out in full force. Once they are solved, all problems will be non-issues."

Lily blinked her beautiful eyes, picked up the chopsticks and ate the piece of meat, then sighed and said:

"Sag, Serabais is an island that produces spices. The special spices we need for canned food are all produced from that island."

Bang!

Sage broke his chopsticks and his face immediately darkened, "You mean meteorite spice?!"

Lily nodded, "There are also a lot of star anise. Without this spice, our canned production would be much less. Also, Dover called and there was a sale of meteorite spice on the black market."

"Damn it! What a deception!"

Veins burst out from Sag's forehead, "That's my meteorite spice! That's my goods, my money! That guy Marco is going to the war, go to the war right away!"

Lily pursed her lips, knowing that Sagar couldn't remember the name of the island.

"Understood, I will prepare for the expedition later. However, I know that the Sag meteorite spice is very precious, but if it is just for canning and selling, it is not necessary. Everyone on our territory can have food. And the food is not bad. ”

On the sea, each island has its own specialties due to climate and sea conditions.

Especially in the Grand Line, there are no islands with overlapping specialties.

For example, Serabais is a newly conquered island after the conflict between Sag and Big Mom ended. It was originally owned by the Whitebeard Pirates.

There are two specialties of this island. One is meteorite spices. It is said that in ancient times, a meteorite fell and created a large crater, which changed the properties of the land and allowed a special spice to be grown in the crater.

The flavor of this spice is extremely rich, and no matter what kind of flavor can be perfectly blended with this spice, it can achieve the perfect fusion of conflicting ingredients.

The taste is even more explosive.

The price is much higher than gold, it has always been a famous product, and it is rarer than the sea salt produced every year after the 'Water Gods' in the City of Seven Waters.

Of course, since the conquest of the island, this spice has also been a special supply of Sage, and only the excess will leak out of the hands.

However, in addition to the rare meteorite spices on the island, there is also an ancillary spice called 'Eight-Pointed Star'.

This spice is also very good, and it also has a good preservative function.

Sager, who knew the role of this spice at that time, started a food canning factory directly. This is what Lily doesn't understand.

You must know the products of O'Hara's wealth. The first one is arms, and the second one is food.

They have no shortage of food.

"Lily, some things are not simply determined by whether you are full or not, and whether they have economic benefits."

"Everything here is mine. Of course I can let the people below me grow and catch it. In my territory, there are only a few people who are short of food. Even if there is a shortage, internal merchants can take the food and sell it, because the food rich."

"But you have to know that they can afford food because they have a salary to buy it. Where does the salary come from? Of course they have something to do."

"Except for the food-starved island of Serabas, things like the eight-pointed star are not used anywhere else. If you don't let them have something to do, how many can they grow? If they don't grow enough, there will be nothing to do. Already?"

"Let the people of Serabas grow spices and use the antiseptic properties of the star anise to combine with food and make canned food. This will increase jobs and allow more people to earn wages."

"Just like Leti's shipyard and weapons factory, what is the use of iron ore? It is only valuable if it is used to make weapons. Now that there is an additional factory that can make cans, there will be more jobs. It will greatly increase domestic demand.”

"With the expansion of domestic demand, I will collect more taxes, and those people will have something to do. Instead of getting together one day when they are bored, someone will pop up and say he wants to be the Pirate King, and then become a pirate."

This is a bit troublesome, but it is necessary for many things.

There is no shortage of food in his territory, and many people are resistant to canned food. After all, who would eat the preserved food if it is fresh?

But if there is no demand, then create demand.

As long as it tastes good and people have nothing to do, they will buy one or two and take them home, and gradually it will become a trend that can be served on the dining table.

Besides, this thing is not for Sage's territory, but more for sale.

Like arms, food is in short supply.

Food that lasts a long time is even more popular.

There is no shortage of food in Sage's territory, and there are also famines in other places on the sea.

There is domestic demand, allowing more people to have jobs, ensuring stability for those people, and receiving more taxes. What's wrong with that?

Stability is not something you can just talk about.

People who are idle and have nothing to do, or who are unable to do anything, are extremely destructive.

A group of guys with good qualities, not too many, a dozen or so will be enough.

Among them was one who was proficient in combat, and another one who knew navigation knowledge. At this time, a person appeared who shouted "I want to be the pirate king", or "I have an idea".

That pirate group came out.

Sage rolled his eyes and said:

"I just couldn't do anything, couldn't fulfill my dream of being a landowner, so I came to be a pirate."

"I can't let the people below me follow my example. Everyone has become pirates, so what blessings do I have? People all over the world are going to be pirates, so who are they going to rob?"

Lily nodded thoughtfully, "I understand."

"Study hard and watch carefully. Now that you are the big housekeeper, you can take the initiative to do things like this in the future. I tell you, selling raw materials is useless. Only by processing and selling finished products can you have a future and let more people have it. work," Sager said.

"But we just don't have enough people."

Lily thought for a while and said: "Right now, due to manpower issues, our production has been stuck at a certain point. Dover called last time and said that he wanted to increase the number of goods, but we couldn't."

O'Hara has a total population of two million.

In the past, this population was certainly not small.

But since Sager started playing with the industrial chain, it was not enough at all.

Because we need too many people.

On the sub-island, although there are small humans planting, and the volcanic fertilizer on the affiliated island Vakanogre, the yield of grown food is very large, but if they only rely on them, not to mention selling it, they will supply the current Sag. There isn't even enough space.

Sub-islands suitable for planting require manual planting.

There are important people for mining iron ore, important people for making weapons, important people for logging, and important people for making ships.

There are also those free traders and small craftsmen in the territory. The shortage of employees is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, the current output can only be maintained at a certain number.

"It's better to not have enough manpower than to have too much manpower. What are you afraid of? I don't have to worry about selling my things. Once we defeat Whitebeard, we can gather all the planned forces and slowly recruit people."

Sage waved his hand and said, "After such a long time, my plan should be completed."

Devouring half of Whitebeard's territory was the longest plan since Sag formulated it.

But it is also the most profitable.

"Will the entire army be dispatched this time?" Lily asked.

"Get the momentum going!"

Sag clenched his fist, with a ferocious look in his eyes, "The whole army is dispatched, I will twist off Marco's head and make it into a pineapple-shaped specimen wine bowl!"
