Among this group of slaves, there is also a group of special small families. They are the family members of the captured pirates of the former Black Tiger Pirates. This time, they were also brought along by Leylin. They are going to be incorporated into the family leaders to enrich the life here. The population is also taken as hostages. With them in hand, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the first batch of pirates.
As long as they don't encounter any great changes, the possibility of their rebellion has reached an infinitely small point.
"As expected, bloody plunder is the fastest way to accumulate capital!"
Among the supplies this time, there is also a batch of special parts, which are a batch of spoils intercepted by Leylin himself. Including the rough white sugar seized by Half Mermaid Island before, and a batch of things that are difficult to sell.
After these piracy activities, it can be said that the basic conditions for the establishment of two production lines have been fulfilled, and the trial production can be carried out next.
If the old method is followed, let the family inject capital, and then slowly buy slaves and try technology, it may be difficult even at the beginning now!
"No matter what form of production, plunder is the essence..."
Leylin sighed: "Unfortunately, after the power of Marquis Louis dissipated, piracy can no longer be used. After all, this kind of behavior will suffer from unanimous hostility and hatred..."
Destruction and plunder are the most likely to cause hatred, but at the same time, the effect is the most immediate, making it difficult for the user to give up. Leylin's decision to make such a decision shows his wise foresight.
Endless piracy can only lead to the complete abandonment of this sea area by merchants. Only by vigorously developing trade is the source of wealth. This is why Leylin established the sugar and fish floss trade.
Of course, this does not mean that Leylin will disband the pirate group.
In fact, he had long thought about the future of the Crimson Tiger, that is, not to engage in piracy anymore, but to sit on the ground and share the spoils, in the form of collecting protection fees and providing escort services.
The essence is to change from exploitation on the surface to exploitation in the dark.
Leylin has great ambitions! To do this, one must first become the king of the entire open sea, or at least the king of the dark world, with the power to make rules!
In essence, this is also the rise of the road to sea power! If it works well, it may be able to develop into the prototype of a maritime power!
Leylin did not reject the powerful secular power, on the contrary, he was still doing his best to prepare for it.
Because the gods in this world need the faith of mortals, especially for those newly promoted gods, a solid foundation of belief and their own basic disk are really important, and it is also necessary to maintain their kingdom of God from falling rely!
Gods have a long-term view, it is impossible for Leylin to compete with other old gods for followers, that will only lead to a terrifying battle of gods!
His method is to re-develop a territory by himself, multiply the population, and gain faith.
A matter of time, it is not a problem for the gods.
The three ships slowly left the port under the watchful eyes of Jacopo, while Leylin clapped his hands and smiled at Jacopo: "Okay! Everything will be up to us from now on. , how are you doing?"
Jacopo was shocked, "Please follow me!"
In a small warehouse in the middle of the camp, Jacob opened the wooden door, and a smell of sea salt and fish came in his face.
Inside are rows of wooden frames, and a large number of fish floss are sealed in ceramic crocks, which are sealed very well.
"According to the method you taught, young master, the fish floss we made can last for more than one month. If it is stored in this sealed way, it is estimated that it can last for more than half a year..."
Jacopo's voice was a little excited: "This kind of time is enough for us to sell fish floss to the inland..."
"Well! The key is to make small profits but sell quickly!" Leylin nodded.
The production technology of fish floss is not a fine work, the most important thing is to scale and industrialize and reduce costs.
But even so, there are still limited people who can consume, at least the farmers and tenants in those villages and towns, Leylin doesn't count on it at all.
It is difficult to squeeze out any oil and water from their bodies, and they are very happy just eating black bread.
Leylin's sales target is still in those big cities, where handicraftsmen, free people, and many adventurers and mercenaries are the main consumers that Leylin intends to buy.
The countryside in the world of the gods has never been a gathering place for wealth, and only the city is the biggest profit point.
It doesn't need much, as long as a few coastal cities can be captured, the profits generated will make Leylin laugh out of his dreams.
"There is also the purification of raw sugar. Due to the lack of the solution and activated carbon that the young master said, we are only storing a batch of raw materials now..."
Jacob took Leylin to another warehouse. Under the sealed and dry conditions, a lot of white sugar was piled up, and the inside was yellowish or even black.
This is coarse sugar, and there is even some bitterness in it, but that bit of sweetness is a good enjoyment for ordinary little nobles.
However, since this place is in the open sea after all, even with protection work done, the humidity in the air still tends to solidify many white sugars into lumps.
"The rough sugar doesn't matter now, it still needs to be processed by a process anyway, but the refined white sugar must be carefully processed afterwards!"
In fact, this is also the greatest wealth that Leylin has acquired for himself.
Fish floss needs small profits but high sales to expand production, but the sugar purification technology can be kept secret. Such a high-end market and a low-end market are all occupied. If it works well, it can even make the Faolan family rich for hundreds of years. !
Leylin still had some ambitions for this place.
In his plan, this place will become the most important port on Faolan Island, and even the core of the entire island!
Of course, before the development of these two trades, Leylin kept all these plans firmly hidden in his heart.
Although it seemed more convenient and safer to snatch an island directly in the open sea, it was not for Leylin.
The most critical point of this is the fief issue!
Theoretically, all the territories off the coast of the Danbras Kingdom now belong to that king naturally. Once they occupy the uncanonized territories, it means losing the protection of the kingdom and even causing hostility!
Not a fief of nobles, no temples, churches, and priests, what does it mean to be in the open sea
Terrible diseases cannot be cured by magic, they can only resist the past, and must face the brutal natives and harsh climate.
Even, in the deep sea, there are a large number of terrifying monsters, some of which are even enough to wash a small island with blood!
The number of people who die every year due to the expansion of the sea is also a huge and shocking number.
Therefore, as a well-cultivated land that has been reclaimed, and even has a good port, people, and church foundation, it is inevitable that it will be coveted by Viscount Diem.
It's just that Leylin had long regarded Faolan Island as his own, which meant that the poor viscount could only be tragic.
"Jacopo, order to go down, give those slaves extra meals tonight, start training immediately tomorrow, prepare to select outstanding craftsmen to participate in production, and expand the camp for the rest of the slaves, in short, don't let them idle!"
The production method of fish floss is too simple, but Leylin plans to keep the sugar purification technology a secret for a few years. Although the expansion of trade will definitely attract more and more people, and eventually the technology will have to be exchanged, but The profits that can be provided before this are also very terrifying.
Leylin was already planning to strictly control those craftsmen and the like, and even had to set aside a separate residential area to monitor them.
Now in this area, Leylin is the well-deserved master. Once he decides something, it will be carried out without any violation.
When Baron Farjonas arrived, what he saw was such a lively scene.
"Such a large camp, with so many slaves, at least need thousands of gold coins?"
Baron Jonas walked across the street in disbelief, and carefully looked at the entire camp. The ground was very neat, and there were specially reserved places for shops, blacksmith shops, and cloth shops on both sides. It could be seen that Leylin planned very carefully. , and it is also being built here as a small town.
"Yes! My lord! To build this camp and buy slaves, I'm afraid we have to fill in all the profits of the entire port for several months..."
There was also shock in Ryan's eyes. Especially when he saw so many slaves being managed in such an orderly manner by Leylin, an indescribable light flashed in his eyes.
Only he, as the big housekeeper, knows how troublesome it is to tame these native slaves!
The young master who can do all this is really the darling of the gods! A gift from the god of knowledge to his devout followers.
Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help praying slowly.
But all this was just the beginning. Baron Jonas and Ryan fell into even greater shock when they saw the finished product that Leylin said.
"Is this... really sucrose?"
Seeing these crystal white cubes as white as snow and as bright as a mirror, Baron Jonas picked up a piece of sugar cube in disbelief.
The transparent color immediately shocked him deeply: "It's so... so beautiful, it's almost like a crystal, this is a work of art!"
Baron Jonas murmured the sugar cube into his mouth, and a burst of pure sweetness exploded in his mouth.
That sweet feeling even made Baron Jonas too excited to speak.
"I'm sure..." Baron Jonas let out a long breath after a long time: "This sugar cube will definitely become a luxury that many nobles dream of. Without it, those gorgeous banquets will lose their luster." …”
"You are talking about it, my lord father!" Leylin who was standing on the side showed a smile on his face.
