Faced with this situation, everyone had to compromise with reality, and finally everyone discussed it and decided to forget it, these people stink, so they won't take a bath for the time being, and go directly to the restaurant to eat!

However, the experience of the Pride tells everyone that the crowd must not be untied, otherwise luck and panic will make these men and women scatter and flee.

Therefore, in the first place, on the Pride, every group of six people was tied up with lifeboats, and then escorted to the deck of the Nicole, in fact, this is also good, divide and conquer plus eat in batches, it is much easier to operate.

However, the disadvantage is that the progress of the meal is too slow, from the morning to the afternoon, the Nicole Pride uses all the lifeboats for ferrying, and all the people who are not on duty also go into battle, each time gathering thirty or fifty people to go up to the deck of the Nicole, and then send them to the restaurant in batches, which is very time-consuming and laborious.

And when eating, it doesn't stop, many people are crying while eating, white rice and white flour steamed buns, potato roast beef and radish pork rib soup, everyone is enough, the food is quite good, and there is probably no Han person in this who has ever eaten such delicious, but the problem is here.

Almost everyone in particular thinks it's a severed head meal, and of course the food is delicious, but when they think that they are going to give it to the legendary dragon as a meal when they are finished, who can eat it happily?

Well, finally finished eating, and the next action to switch men and women into the cabin caused another burst of crying and grabbing the ground, and the Han tenant slaves staged a sitcom in the restaurant where the husband and wife were separated, the wives were separated, and the grief was mixed......

Finally, the toss was over, and the time was in the afternoon, but a new problem arose - there was no toilet in the cabin, and those who needed convenience had to use the public toilet in the public bathhouse.

However, none of the people in this group knew that urine and urine could not be pulled directly onto the floor of a public toilet, and those who occasionally pulled into the pit did not know how to flush with water, let alone use a faucet or flushing toilet......

In short, the smell of urine and urine is now permeated in the crew quarters and living quarters on the negative deck of the Nicole, mixed with the smell of radish and pork rib soup in the canteen, and in this environment, the dining room must not be able to stay.

On this fiery afternoon in July, everyone was sweating, including those Han people.

In the end, everyone finally put this group of Han men and women in the cabin, and the sun was about to set.

Fortunately, for the Han tenants who are accustomed to sunrise and sunset, they are sleepy early at this time, because they are full and late, and dinner is not served, and it is estimated that they can't eat when they are supplied, so these Han people who are locked up in the cabin, whether they are worried, sad or desperate, when they reach the sleepy spot, they are gradually sleepy, so the cabin is unexpectedly quiet.

When the crew on duty covered their noses and went to patrol the cabin, they found that these people were lying on the palm mats on the floor, snoring like a symphony, and as the night fell, they all gradually fell asleep......

At this moment, on the foredeck of the Nicole, a discussion on the fate of these Han tenants has just begun.

All lights on deck, including the cockpit and casemates, are on, making the entire foredeck as bright as a prom.

Several rows of stools and chairs are arranged very casually, almost all of them are dressed in short-sleeved shorts, and many of them are shaking various fans in their hands, sitting together in twos and threes to chat nonsense, and there are also hip-hop slapsticks - this is the routine foreplay before the all-hands discussion meeting.

Captain Gu finally appeared, he was wearing a pair of seafarer's trousers, but because the weather was really hot, he only wore a vest on his upper body, and he also shook a big fan in his hand.

However, even this kind of attire is much more formal than the combination of most of the people in the venue who are shirtless and pants.

Seeing the captain coming, everyone gradually quieted down, so Gu Jin sat down to announce the meeting, Xu Zhi immediately took out a transcript and began to read it, he said that in the afternoon he had obtained the text of the two paper rolls from the Pride, and had just sent a telegram to the Red Mansion, and it was estimated that the Red Mansion was also discussing at the same time.

The first was the reading of the two documents sent by the Sulu State, but the reading process was always interrupted by people's interjections, and many people were still discussing the prices in the trade list, and when the list was finally read, the second contract caused a huge controversy: the focus was on whether to approve the Australian goods proposed by the Sulu State**.

"Free trade is our basic principle! Why do they want to monopolize our goods? ”

Ren Ke said with some indignation.

"In other words, in the future, the wine and sugar we sell here can only be given to the merchants designated by the king? Can't you sell to someone else if they bid high? ”

Although Wei Hong's tone was calm, he was obviously not satisfied with this clause.

"The price won't be too low, right?"

"Since it's a monopoly, then you have to give us a good price, otherwise don't talk about it!"

"Even business has to be monopolized, and in this era it is really a privilege to be everywhere......"

"In fact, monopoly is monopoly, the key is how to say the price......"

Wei Dongli and his brothers didn't seem to have much resistance to this.

"I think the eight words "open door and equal interests" are very suitable for us......

"Free trade without discrimination is in the fundamental interests of the Australian Federation!"

After listening to everyone's gossip, Captain Gu finally spoke, he patted his leg with a pu fan, and concluded:

"I think these so-called monopoly clauses can't hurt us, if we are not satisfied with the price of Sulu, can we not sell to them, in this era is a seller's market as the main body, let's cut off supply, what is their monopoly for?!

We should understand that this kind of trade monopoly and not allowing the people to participate is because of the interests of the Sulu aristocracy, and competing with the people for profit is an inevitable thing that will happen in a society where power is supreme, although this is unreasonable, but it is also a very normal reality.

So, I think the key point is: as long as there is no loss in terms of price and no limit on quantity, the monopoly will be monopolized by him, and it will not affect our sales performance anyway, right? ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but some people still questioned that although Captain Gu's words were very reasonable, how much purchasing power did this Sulu country have? When the time comes, they won't be able to eat it, and they won't let others eat it, isn't this forcing us to sell it to them at a lower price? This kind of business was not uncommon in the old world......

At this time, some people in the venue nodded yes, and it was obvious that many people were a little worried about the Sulu State's monopoly of its own goods.

Then someone said:

"When the time comes, people will monopolize the business channels, and we can only deal with one power center, which is not conducive to our products to open up the market for sales......"

"Yes, and then use all kinds of rules and restrictions on us, then our commodity market will be manipulated in the hands of others."

"That's right, because of the monopoly, how much they buy and what the price is, they may have the final say in the end, and it is likely to evolve to the point where customers bully the store......"

"Maybe one day we don't negotiate, people won't buy it, and we won't be allowed to sell it to other people......"

"Therefore, it is in our fundamental interests to completely let the market speak, and we should reject the shackles of all non-market factors!"

Gu Jin said that he looked at the somewhat noisy venue, so he had to clap his hands to make everyone quiet, and then continued:

"Of course, your concerns are justified, but what about this Sulu country, which is a small state of Pun, and also wants to engage in trade monopoly with us? It is clearly an act of self-indulgence, and it is certain that their monopoly is temporary and short-lived.

Historical facts have proven that blindly monopolizing trade and competing with the people for profits can only end up shooting oneself in the foot! In these years, they think that they have power and money in their hands, but in fact, they are doing it in the midst of foreign power!

In a word, since we are here, the times have changed, in this world, the real power is not how awesome it seems if you don't buy it, but that I can not sell it to you is really awesome!

It's really annoying us, let's have a supply embargo, so that these idiots have no place to cry! Come to think of it, am I right? ”
