So the Red Mansion immediately called back and complained:

"Next time it's the Year of the Monkey!"

The Pride call back was also unkind:

"At least wait until the next time you go to sea!"

At this time, the Nicole, which was already halfway to Xin'an Port, sent a telegram:

"Elder Sun suggested that my ship be temporarily rerouted, first go to Holo Harbor to transport people, if we go straight to Holo Harbor now, it is expected to arrive in five days, and then go to Sin'an City, the conditions of the Nicole are much better than the Pride, even if there are more people, I am not afraid. From: Gu Jin. April 8, 1658, at 4 p.m. on the Nicole. ”

Twenty minutes later, Lao Ba called back in the Red Mansion:

"Wait for us to talk about it."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the Red Chamber finally called back:

"The Supreme Executive Committee resolved: to agree with Sun Lao's suggestion, this time the Nicole was temporarily diverted to Holo Harbor and then to Sin'an City. In addition, the Pride will stay in Hollow Harbor for the time being, waiting for Nicole's arrival, during which time you will have to buy as many supplies as possible, make as many friends as you can with the locals, and do more detailed market research.

After the Nicole arrived, in addition to the 200 Han tenant slaves on the Nicole, the thirty-one orphans also had to send the Nicole.

In addition, we urgently need those Han laborers, and we must resolutely negotiate with Sulu to urge the other side to release more Han tenant slaves as soon as possible. Also, the Supreme Executive Committee is here to ask Captain Gu's opinion, should the Nicole's fixed stopover port be added to the port of call in the future?

In addition, you have to inform the Sulu country that the Australians are trustworthy, and the Nicole will sell a batch of glassware, mirrors and sweet potato wine worth 50,000 taels of silver to the Sulu country this time, and make it clear to the Sulu country that if the Sulu country wants to get more Australian goods in the future, one of the prerequisites is to gradually release all the Han tenant slaves to the Australian Federation. ”

Zhu Beiguo also nodded secretly after receiving the telegram, it seems that the family also understands the catticity of Sulu, to put it simply, it is to acquiesce to the condition hinted by Sulu: bilateral trade should be linked to the release of Han tenant slaves, and even goods can be exchanged for Han slaves in the hands of Sulu, and the volume of trade should be linked to the release of Han tenant slaves.

As for the specific conversion ratio, Zhu Beiguo believes that this can be negotiated, and it is expected that the treacherous and cunning prime minister will not be too much, after all, you can't beat Lao Tzu, and if Nima's asking price is too much, we will turn our faces, and when the time comes, we will fight one faction and one faction in your Sulu country, and I don't believe that your Sulu country is a monolith......

So Pride quickly called back:

"We have received a call and firmly support the resolution of the Executive Committee, and we will inform the Sulu side of our attitude and conditions overnight."

After a while, a telegram came from Xin'ancheng:

"Please advise the Executive Committee, can we leave some Han people here in Xin'an City?"

Only a few minutes later, Red House called back with just two words:

"Nope."

At four o'clock in the afternoon of April 12, 1658, Nicole, who had been on a day and night journey at its highest speed, arrived at the port of Holo ahead of schedule in only four days.

The reappearance of the Nicole and the Pride outside of Hollow Harbor immediately reminded the subjects of Sulu of the original memory, and it was clear that different classes of people had different reactions.

For King Unduhara, and Prime Minister Suhabi, the return of Australians means that the opportunity to make a fortune has come again.

Of course, this wealth is not so easy to make, because the arrival of the "Australian Devil Ship" has also brought a lot of shocks and troubles to the port of Holo.

For example, just a few days ago, when the "Little Australian Devil Ship" that was very familiar to the citizens of Holo City reappeared outside Holo Harbor, the citizens of Holo City seemed very panicked, first of all, most of the citizens on the dock ran away on the spot, and the rest were closed.

However, there is no such thing as love and hate for no reason, and the reason why Australians are hated these days is mainly because of economic problems.

Just last meal, because of the arrival of two devil ships, large and small, not only harassed the peaceful life of the people in Holo City, but also caused heavy losses to merchants and workshop craftsmen.

Due to the monopoly of foreign trade and the control of the monetary system in Sulu, the sensational purchase of the Australians did not benefit the merchants and producers except that the ordinary merchants and workshop owners of Sulu were bought by the official compradors at very low prices.

Not only that, but the large purchase also caused the market prices to soar in the short term, and the final result was that the merchants and workshop owners worked hard several times, and finally made wedding clothes for the official family.

Of course, the merchants and small workshop owners of Sulu did not blame the wise King and the eloquent Prime Minister Suhabi, they all agreed with the reason that His Majesty's imperial eunuchs and the domestic servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion told the citizens: because the Australians are the devil, so the Australians took it by force, and in order to protect the country of Sulu, in the end, the king and the prime minister took out some goods and lowly slaves and sent the Australians away, so as to protect the citizens of Sulu.

This theory originally came from His Majesty the King and the eunuchs and personal guards of the Prime Minister's Palace, and it also corresponded with the rumors that the Australians drove away the souls, so the citizens of Porto Jolo generally agreed with this statement, and the lower the Sulu State, the more people believed it.

Therefore, when the Pride reappeared on the sea outside the port of Holo, it not only reminded the citizens of Holo City of last year, but also made the merchants and workshop owners of Holo City immediately start various risk-averse actions.

Merchants are the most sensitive group to changes in the situation, because, in this era of lawlessness, those insensitive businessmen who live in the illusion of illusory years have long been eliminated by the cruel reality.

As a result, the speed of action and the manifestation of the effect of the owners of the shops and workshops on the market really exceeded the expectations of the Prime Minister.

First of all, with the arrival of the "little devil ship", the first thing is that the business at the port of Holo suddenly became depressed, that is of course, the Nima people have run out and still do a woolen business? The second is the drastic fluctuation of prices in the market in the city of Holo.

The day after the "Little Australian Devil Ship" arrived outside the port of Holo, there was an inexplicable shortage of food supplies in the market of Holo City.

In fact, it is not that the market is really out of stock, but that many businessmen began to hoard Juqi, especially daily necessities such as rice and edible oil.

On the third day, the overall price of Holo City inexplicably rose by two percent, and then, when the "big devil ship" Nicole appeared outside Holo Port, it immediately caused the prices of the entire Holo City and the surrounding areas to begin to rise sharply across the board, among which the prices of daily consumables such as rice, oil, meat and vegetables actually doubled!

In addition to rising prices, more shops have closed.

So some unbearable citizens began to sue the officials, the citizens demanded that the shops immediately open for business, many citizens also gathered at the entrance of the yamen, some beat drums to pray, some posted posters, and a group of people gathered at the door of several large shops to protest and scold, by the afternoon of the same day, the citizens of Holo City had been surging to the point that the situation was a little out of control, in the evening, many rice shops and oil workshops were finally smashed by angry citizens, and a lot of rice and oil were looted.

Prime Minister Suhabi reacted quickly to this kind of thing, he immediately sent troops to the street to suppress it, and arrested more than a dozen thugs who smashed and looted on the spot, most of them were flailed to show the public, and two of the leaders were also cut off in public, although the prime minister did not announce a curfew like last time, but the entire city street was three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the atmosphere of slaughter suddenly spread in Holo City.
