Pirate: Peerless Orochi

"It's Tina, brother!"

Tina, who is already three years old and can run and jump because her body is stronger than ordinary people, breaks away from Alice's hand in the distance, runs towards Shen Zhao and bumps into Shen Zhao's arms.

"It was her brother's embrace that made Tina not want to leave!"

Tina narrowed her eyes comfortably in Shenzhao's arms, with a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, Shenzhao laughed and hugged Tina, and after taking a sip of fragrance on Tina's young face, she said:

"Why doesn't Tina play outside? Don't you have to go outside to catch butterflies at this time every day?"

"Tina misses her brother!"

Tina said crisply in Shenzhao's ear, and then said with a hint of grievance:

"And Alice didn’t let me eat ice cream, and Tina said she only ate one today!"

"Yeah?"

Shenzhao raised his eyebrows and said

"God, Lord Shen Zhao, Tina ate three ice creams yesterday and the day before yesterday. This is not good for children's health!"

Alice hurriedly shook her body and bowed to explain.

"But Tina just wants to eat it!"

Tina twisted dissatisfiedly in Shenzhao's arms.

"Alice, Tina can eat whatever she wants from now on. There is no need to restrict her diet, do you understand?"

Shenzhao said directly

"Really? Great, Tina, thank you brother!"

Tina's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately took a sip of fragrance on Shenzhao's face and cheered

"Yes, but"

Alice looked hesitant. She felt that this was not good for the child's health.

"No, but, Tina is my sister, her body is different from ordinary people, it is a good thing to be able to eat, it will not have any bad impact on her body!"

Shenzhao said without any doubt, but still explained the reason.

Tina is the bloodline of Shenzhao, she never gets sick, and ice cream and other things will not have any impact on Tina, Shenzhao is very clear about this.

And she can eat. It's a good thing, it will make Tina's body stronger faster

"Yes, Lord Kamitaru!"

Alice could only nod helplessly when she saw this.

"What is the current financial situation of our home islands? After canceling the island reconstruction and construction, has the financial situation eased?"

Shenzhao asked again.

Last month, Stusi just came to Shenzhao. After observing several islands on Shenzhao's territory, he finally shook his head and said that the islands in Shenzhao's hands are not suitable for building entertainment facilities.

Shenzhao There are four large islands in the hand, namely Topaz Island, Cold Iron Island, Mithril Island and Copper Island.

Without exception, these four large islands are all mine islands, and Stusi made it clear that they are not suitable. It is used as Kamitsuke's lair, but as a rear island suitable for making money.

In addition to the four large islands, there are also 8 small islands with similar situations. They are all mineral islands.

Stusi suggested that Kamitsuke abandon the construction of islands and improve The mineral output on these islands is used to sell money, which can also reduce Shenzhao's financial expenses.

After thinking about it, Shenzhao decided to implement Stussy's plan. As for the future home base, Shenzhao still needs to make other plans. Anyway, these The territory is just the beginning

"Lord Kamitasu, although there has been significant financial relief after abandoning the construction of the island, due to our long-term plan to increase production, we are still unable to make ends meet!"

"Moreover, we have spent a lot of money on the construction of ports and cargo warships, and we have also recruited a large number of armed personnel to guard the islands and cargo warships, so Lord Kamikaze, you are almost out of money again!"

Alice said with a bitter smile.

"What? How is it possible that the 10 billion Baileys given by Kaido are about to be spent?"

Shenzhao asked with an incredulous look on his face.

"Yes, Lord Kamitaru! At present, we still have less than 3 billion beli. Although Huangjing Island has been making money, it cannot support such a large expenditure. We expect it to last another two years!"

Alice said seriously

"How is it possible? I remember that we gained a lot when we conquered these islands. Although the inventory data has not yet come out, but with the various metal ore raw materials they stored, there must be at least tens of billions of beli, right?"

Shenzhao doesn't believe it.

"This is what I came to talk to Mr. Kamitao today!"

"explain!"

"The inventory has been completed today, and they also sent me the inventory list. As of now, we have received a total of less than 5 billion beli in cash on these islands!"

Alice said

"That's all? No wonder I found these islands were poor when I attacked them!"

Shenzhao was speechless. Did he conquer the poor islands? Do he want to lead these islands to become rich and powerful?

"Yes, judging from the current situation, if we want to support such a large ship building and port construction, we can only persist for two more years, but these islands are not actually poor!"

Alice changed the subject and said

"what happened?"

Shenzhao is a little confused. What on earth is Alice going to say?

"In fact, the raw materials produced on these islands, whether they are cold iron, mithril or red copper, can all be sold at good prices. Among them, the stocks that have been mined on these islands are worth at least 40 billion beli!"

Alice explained

"So what are you waiting for? Sell it to me quickly, don’t sell all the inventory, and then use it to build ports and manufacture cargo warships. Doesn’t this make the cycle go round?"

Shen Zhao said excitedly immediately

"But here's the problem, we have no way to sell the goods at all. These materials are different from topaz, and pirates who usually come and go will not accept them!"

Alice looked helpless, and her words were like a basin of cold water poured on Shenzhao's head. Shenzhao frowned and said:

"Please tell me carefully what is going on!"

"Cold iron is the main raw material necessary for making knives! Mithril is hard and light, and is the main material for making war armor! Red copper has become the main material for gun barrels because of its good heat resistance and durability!"

"It is not good? It’s all just needed, but you’re still worried about not being able to find a buyer?"

Shenzhao is even stranger.

"But these are all raw materials for us. Mr. Kamitaru, you are a pirate and cannot trade with the navy. Pirates almost always buy finished products and cannot make them themselves, so they piled up so many raw materials. They originally thought that maybe in the future The power of the navy has developed to the point where it can be sold to the navy!"

Alice said directly.
