606 Sulu Storm
At the same time, the Pride also successfully obtained all kinds of supplies in the port of Holo, including fresh water, fresh meat, vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., Zhu Beiguo noticed that these were all sent by the Sulu official, and in the port business district, there was still a silence.
At noon, Zhu Beiguo invited Ha Zheng and the others to have dinner in the crew restaurant, and waited for the two guests' sweet potato spirits to pass through the throat for three rounds, and the leek scrambled eggs, spiced beef and white radish pork ribs soup were eaten, and Zhu Beiguo once again proposed the release of the Han tenants.
After listening to Zheng Fu's translation, Minister Haluban immediately burped, and he said to Zhu Beiguo that at present, I am afraid that only 200 Han tenant slaves can be provided, the reason is that no one is willing to follow the Australians on the ship, and today's Han tenant slaves are very afraid of the Australians.
When Zhu Beiguo heard this, he immediately said angrily to Haluban, who is so slandering us like this! Rise?!
Didn't Captain Ha go to the Nicole last time?!
Nima, you know how we treat the Han and female slaves on the ship, right?!
it! Aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder when you open your eyes and talk nonsense!
Zheng Fu saw that Lord Zhu was angry, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly whispered to the side to translate at the same time, Haluban heard the end and quickly nodded and agreed, what Lord Zhu said is right, Australians talk about rules and credit, I know the drop, the problem is that the people of Sulu are very ignorant, they not only believe in gods and ghosts, but also don't like to see foreigners, last time...... Didn't you still have a conflict last time?
After all, there are a lot of misunderstandings between the two countries! What's more, our Sulu country is also one of the big countries in the South Seas, and it is still an ancient country with a history of thousands of years, and it has its own cultural traditions, so it is not easy to reverse the ideas in the minds of the common people......
Zhu Beiguo was laughed at by the other party when he heard this, and immediately sneered at each other: Hehe! It's a good pot to throw away!
Nima is obviously you nobles who don't want the people to understand the Australians, if you really understand us, the people will deal with us again, and you will learn from us, and it will be difficult to say whether your country is still stable! Isn't that so?
Now the people of this Sulu country are ignorant, but they are not governed by you?! But if Ver is willing to tell the truth, the Han tenants will be so resistant to our ship!?
And also! Speaking of the misunderstanding last time, Nima's business has been done, and it is all real money business without credit, what other misunderstanding can there be?!
Nima's last market visit didn't go well, if you hadn't been in the way, would the people of Sulu hate us?!
Now that we have landed again, there are no ghosts on the dock, is this what does it mean?
Nima has not let the crew go ashore to rest until now, haven't we taken into account the feelings of the people here? The question is where does this hatred come from? Where are the roots? Don't pretend to be confused with me!
Oh? Now that I'm in trouble, Nima is talking about the ignorance of the people and cultural traditions, are you so coaxing when I'm an Australian?
Zheng Fu couldn't help beating the drum when he heard Zhu Beiguo's series of heart-wrenching words, and secretly said that this Australian was really a clear-eyed person, and he was also enlightened by Lord Zhu's words, and he suddenly understood a lot of things in his heart, and he forgot to translate for a while.
And Captain Ha, who is good at observing faces, also saw that his words might have angered the other party, but he obviously didn't know what was wrong with his words, but at this moment he couldn't help but burp a big wine, which made Zhu Beiguo so bad that he quickly turned his head and fanned the wind, and finally didn't continue to fire the cannon in his mouth, so taking advantage of this moment, Zheng Fu hurriedly translated it to Haluban.
Obviously, Captain Ha at this time was also a little embarrassed, after listening to the translation, I saw him quickly shake his hand and say to Zhu Beiguo, how dare you coax, the Prime Minister really wants to befriend the Australians, but the people below are a little unable to figure it out, after all, my Sulu people are also very respectful of their country's traditions, plus there was a misunderstanding last time, and it was not clear for a while, so it is inevitable that the people of Sulu will have prejudices against Australians, in short, this is the special national condition of our Sulu country, fortunately, His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister know, I just hope that the people of UM don't have to be like those fools......
Captain Ha looked at his face as he spoke, listening to Zheng Fu chattering on the side of the translation, and found that Master Zhu's face was becoming more and more gloomy, so he asked Zheng Fu not to translate his words just now, and motioned for him to retranslate his new words.
So Captain Ha immediately stood up, bowed to Zhu Beiguo with a solemn face and said, please rest assured, Lord Zhu! Although the common people are ignorant and ignorant, the Prime Minister is indeed very wise, and the Prime Minister is really willing to have a good relationship with the Australian Federation.
His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister both know in their hearts that it is a good thing for us and Australia for Australians to come here to do business, after all, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation are the long-term way.
Of course, now Sulu also has difficulties, first of all, the procurement of materials in your country affects the price of the market, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and now it is necessary to release the Han tenant slaves, the losses in all aspects are quite large, and it is not good to shake the country, this Sulu country is in chaos, whether it is procurement or the trade of Australian goods will be affected, it must not be in the interests of Australians, right?
Moreover, the Prime Minister also asked me to convey a sentence to Lord Zhu: Sulu has a thousand reasons to be friendly with Australia, and there is no reason not to be friendly, so whatever the Australian Federation requires, as long as our Sulu country can do it, I will do our best to help.
As for the bad rumors in Sulu and the misunderstanding of the people about the Australians, please don't worry about the Australian side, let alone worry, our Prime Minister governs the country, is wise and powerful, and if the people under his rule are not satisfied, they will be honest if they are directly arrested and starved for three days.
However, then again, this matter of releasing the Han tenant slaves involves many princes and noble families, and they will not be able to take advantage of it for a while, so I ask Lord Zhu's understanding that it will take time to properly handle it.
And there are really only these 200 households at the moment, and as for how many will be in the future, it is not clear now......
Zhu Shouguo also understood in his heart when he heard this, this is the old and cunning prime minister playing the word "drag", making full use of the fact that we want to release the Han tenants, hanging our appetite, so those Han he will definitely not give us happily, just like today, this is back to two hundred, and the next one is back to three hundred, in short, it is a hint, I hope we will continue to exchange Australian goods with him for the release of Han tenants.
And apparently he still wants to free the tenant slaves as compensation, and he wants to use us to keep coming here to buy supplies so that he can earn real money!
That's right, as long as there is a bargaining chip of Han tenant slaves, we can't turn our faces with him, I'm damned! Sure enough, it was wishful thinking......
Zhu Beiguo thought of this, and sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that now he can only accept it when he sees it, not to mention that there are thirty-one children on the ship now, and the Pride is not more spacious than Nicole, and it really can't fit more big people, these two hundred Han people, about three or four hundred men and women, can't hold it, right? With so many people, both men and women, how can they squeeze into the cabin? No, I'm afraid this group of people will have to wait until the next time to pick them up......
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after sending Ha Zheng and the others away, Zhu Beiguo immediately discussed with Li Sanduo, and asked to telegraph to the Red Mansion to inform the family of the situation here, and also suggested that for the sake of safety, the Pride would not follow the 200 Han families on the ship for the time being, for the obvious reason: it really couldn't fit it.
However, this telegram immediately sparked a telegraph discussion between the two ships and two places, and then the Red Mansion called back very sincerely:
"Everyone, please bring as much as you can! Come on! ”
However, the Pride was completely unmoved, and immediately replied:
"The cargo can be loaded, but the big living people really can't be loaded anymore, the conditions on the ship are limited, and we can't just stuff the big living people into the cabin like the black slave trafficking, so let's wait for next time!"
