After three days of swimming upstream, the Red Stone finally arrived at the first river port where supplies were stopped.

Actually, everything else is easy to say, the main thing is that the eight oarsmen are completely exhausted and need to be replaced by eight new troops.

This made Lu Bai see the oarsman for the first time, and the first time he saw a living orc.

Blue-faced, fanged, muscular, exactly like the orcs in film and television works.

All the orc oarsmen, without exception, were all wearing iron shackles, and they looked very dirty and tired, Lu Bai didn't see any unruliness in their eyes, only deep numbness.

Even, when he was taken off the ship by the sailors, there were orc oarsmen who expressed their reluctance to the Ruby Stone.

No amount of reluctance could prevent another group of bear-man slave pulpers from being sent onto the ship, and this group of orc pulpers was led away like cattle.

"These slave pulpers, all supplied by the Pompeii family, monopolized almost all of the slave trade up and down the Morton. Seeing that Lu Bai seemed to be very interested in the handover of the slave pulper, the female captain Ismail introduced a few words in passing, and was brushed with a kindness value for herself by the way: "Compared with other ship owners, I am already very kind to the slave pulper, I will not use them to death, nor will I just give them food that the dogs don't eat." ”

Lu Bai nodded, he understood why those orc pulp hands just now showed reluctance to the Red Stone.

Of course, for Lu Bai, this still can't hide the fact that the chef on the Ruby Stone makes things that are actually super unpalatable.

"These slave pulpers...... Where did the Pompeii get it?"

Lu Bai is actually more concerned about this issue.

Lu Bai did not deny that when he found out that the pulpers were all slaves, out of pity for the lack of personal freedom, he did have a little pity in his heart, but that was all.

What if compassion is more overflowing?

In the form of a savior, kill the entire Pompeii family of the slave owners, and then release all the slaves to set them free?

I'm sorry, but the balance of contemptible strength and idle time happens to be insufficient, and I am recharging and paying.

"Of course, they all got it from Middle-earth? Half-orcs are a specialty of Middle-earth! In the Great Wasteland of Middle-earth, those chieftains of half-orcs and orcs are endlessly engaged in tribal warfare, and then sell captured prisoners of war to slave traders year after year, it is said that this is also a good thing for half-orcs and orcs, their reproductive ability is really the same as that of livestock, and the birth of cubs is all about nests, and the great wasteland cannot feed all ...... at all."

The female captain Ismail was a little strange, but seeing that Lu Bai really didn't know, she took the trouble to popularize science for Lu Bai.

"It's just a pot that's too unproductive. ”

Lu Bai muttered.

As a visitor to the earth with relatively high productivity, Lu Bai is very aware of the strange circle of getting poorer and poorer, and higher productivity will bring a relatively prosperous life and push up the cost of raising children.

When the cost of raising children remains high, even if people are open to the next life, not many people are willing to have more children.

"What?"

Ismael, however, was like listening to a book from heaven, where would she understand such a far-sighted thing.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Lu Bai casually gave Ismail a popular science, but although Lu Bai was about to dry his mouth when he talked about it, Ismail still expressed strong disagreement with his new sociological theory that was too cutting-edge.

But Amanda listened with relish, she completely believed in Lu Bai's theory, because she would unconditionally support and trust whatever Lu Bai said.

"Gotta get it, if you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I really have no basis for saying this kind of thing, and I don't have the right to speak without investigation. Anyway, Ismail, you go from south to north, and if you have time in the future, then investigate a little bit about the average number of children raised by couples above the middle class and in cities with a higher cost of living like the capital, and then compare them with the poor, and the data will tell you the truth, and the facts speak louder than all words!"

Lu Bai was so excited that he didn't bother to continue to talk more, but deep in his heart, he unintentionally planted a small seed.

If you have the chance, I will one day make you believe all of what I say!

"Well, I will. As Master Kaspersky said, there is no voice without investigation, and facts speak louder than words. ”

Although I don't trust Lu Bai's theory of population and productivity, I still agree with Lu Bai's last words about Lu Bai's female captain Ismael's concluding remarks.

So the matter was settled, and the Red Stone, which had completed the replacement of the slave pulp hands and the replenishment of provisions, sailed against the current again.

The water volume and water surface of the endless Morton River began to gradually decrease, and rapids appeared.

Along the way, Lu Bai saw the two banks of the chaotic peaks, heard the endless cry of the tiger roaring ape, and even more clouds of mist hovering in the mountains and did not disperse.

Lu Bai suddenly remembered the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

With such turbulent high gorges, a large ship of the size of the Red Stone, there is almost no possibility of going upstream.

Just relying on the water draft, these sections of the rapids and rapids have long formed a mature slender man industry.

"Oh, why don't those slender men wear clothes?

The sound of the slender men on their backs attracted Amanda's attention, so all of them were slender men without an inch on their bodies, which made her, who had never seen this kind of scene, feel very strange.

Lu Bai's attention was more focused on a brand-new paddle steamer that was going downstream.

The paddle steamer used twin paddle wheels, the new hull was beautifully streamlined, and the new white sails were painted with a huge heraldic pattern at great expense.

The heraldic motif on the canvas of a ship is a shield depicting a two-headed serpent, decorated with three pairs of sky-blue wings on either side of the shield.

If there is no accident, this ship should be a noble child, and it should be used to brush up on fashionable toys.

In fact, there is no need for Lu Bai to guess, on the bow of the new paddle steamer, suddenly stood a young man in a blue robe, wearing a captain's hat full of chicken feathers like an Indian feathered crest.

Behind this young man, there were two swordsmen who were no longer young, and they followed cautiously.

Realizing that Lu Bai was observing himself, the blue-robed young man took off his ridiculous captain's hat across the boat, and smiled slightly to Lu Bai.

Lu Bai also gave the other party a smile and etiquette, and then turned his head to answer Amanda's question.

"The water will wet their clothes, and getting wet will only have two consequences – the clothes will rot faster and the back will be more laborious. So it's not that they don't have shame, it's just the helpless survival wisdom that is forced to make a living. ”

In fact, Lu Bai also saw the slender man for the first time, but this did not prevent him from giving Amanda a popular science, because he had watched a documentary called 'Yangtze River Fruit Body Female Slender Man' before.

As he spoke, the Shuangping steamer happened to staggered by the Red Strix.

"Ouch, you're an elementary schooler, you don't look very old, but you still know a lot of things!"

It was none other than the young man who had just crossed the boat with Lu Bai to say this.

Lu Bai saw that the young man in blue, who was supposed to be standing on the bow of the Shuangming steamer, jumped onto the Red Stone with an arrow step and stood firmly beside Lu Bai.

"My name is Francis Drake, what's your name Elementary Schooler?"

Facing Lu Bai's sight, the young man in blue said with a smile-
