"Yes, there's nothing here! We have nothing! My men and I can build a makeshift dock overnight, but we can't and can't build it into an impregnable sea fortress in a year. [Ran^Text^Library] So, we need your help!"

"Yes, help! You don't have to look at each other with wide eyes, you don't have to doubt your ears! You heard me right, the word I just used is help! I need your help, just as you need security, food and clothing, and a comfortable place to live!"

"Look around you, no one here will put you in a cage, and no one will abuse you. You can get the food you deserve, you can eat whatever we eat, you can wear what we wear! I will not squeeze you like other nobles and lords like a scalper, I will feed you, clothe you warmly, and be able to reunite with your family, and I will even pay you!"

Tang Jie's words made the hatred and hostility in the eyes of these slaves fade little by little, and when he said that he could pay them, these slaves showed a look of disbelief in their eyes.

In their opinion, since they are slaves, the miserable life in the second half of their lives can be imagined, and it is already a blessing to be able to survive.

But the person in front of him actually said that he could feed them, clothe them warmly, reunite them with their families, and pay them wages?

Tang Jie looked at them with satisfaction, he was originally a traverser from a ** free country, and he would not have the innate concept of servitude of the nobles of this world.

In his view, these slaves were merely workers he had recruited, albeit by a somewhat disgraceful means.

"Aha, look, you're surprised again!" Tang Jieha laughed, slapped twice, and then threw a bombshell, "Are you surprised?

"As long as you work for me in peace, if any of you are sick, I will find someone to heal you, and if anyone dies, I will bury him like a relative. I only ask you to work for two years before you can regain your freedom, and I swear to you, if you want to leave, I will not force you to stay, but I will give you two hundred gold coins each! With this money, you will be able to spend the rest of your life in any corner of this world in peace!" Tang Jie said loudly, "How about it, do you agree?"

As soon as Tang Jie's words were finished, not only the slaves were moved one by one, but even the sailors were also talking to each other.

"What a kindness the captain is!"

"How can you treat these slaves like this, if you dare to be disobedient, then beat, and if you don't listen, you will be thrown directly into the sea!"

"You're an idiot, they're three times more numerous than we are on this island!

"The captain's gentle means are really powerful, I have only heard of him being brave and good at fighting before, but I didn't expect him to know so much about the art of the royal family's power and strategy. ”

Tang Jie glanced at the sailors who were biting each other's ears, and then turned his gaze to the commotion of the slave crowd, quietly waiting for their answers.

After a while, an old man with a faltering step came out of the slaves.

The old man was dark-skinned and emaciated, with pale eyeballs rolling in his sockets, and was clearly blind.

The old man was as stiff as a shrimp, rolled his eyelids, and looked at the place where Tang Jie was speaking: "Can you swear in front of our supreme goddess of chaos, Mavi, swear that what you just said is the truth?"

Tang Jie jumped off the rock with a solemn face, he walked up to the short old man, raised a hand, and said loudly: "I swear to our sea god Tira, and to your goddess of chaos, Mavi, that everything I just said is true, and if I violate it, I will drown in the sea and bury myself in the belly of a fish!"

For a pirate, there is nothing heavier than this.

The old man nodded slowly, he trembled and groped for Tang Jie's hand, then held it high, knelt down himself, and the old and young women and children slaves behind him also knelt down, his relatives knelt on the ground, and the strong black slaves also knelt down with Hulala.

"I, Muhammad Sissoko, swear to you on behalf of the Dada tribe that for the next two years you will be our supreme master, and we will do whatever you tell us to do, your friend is our friend, and your enemy is our enemy! The old man chanted loudly in an extremely strange and strange tone, he bit his fingers, smeared the blood tremblingly on Tang Jie's palm, and then prostrate himself on the ground and kissed Tang Jie's feet.

Tang Jie was stunned, he didn't expect that the group of slaves he bought was almost all from a tribe, and he didn't expect that what he said just now would be exchanged for the collective allegiance of this group of slaves!

Although it was only a short two years, Tang Jie knew that once he took root on Alcatraz Island, he would have the confidence to completely subdue these poor black people in the Southern Continent.

Their country is ruined, where else can they go but me?

Who in the world can give them freedom, equality, dignity, and wealth like I do?

Tang Jie thought very confidently, and at the same time he thought about it, fortunately he chose Huairou's method, otherwise these slaves of the same tribe would rebel, and that kind of cohesion and concerted combat power would be extremely terrifying!

Thankfully they are my people now, and fortunately they are now the enemies of my enemies!

Tang Jie palpitated for a while, stretched out his hand to help the old man in front of him up, and said to the skinny old man in front of him with a smile: "In the future, we will be our own people." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't speak, just rolled his eyelids and "looked" at him with a miserable white eyeball, as if waiting for something.

Simon on the side hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "My captain, you need to smear your own blood on his forehead!"

Nia reacted quickly, and immediately pulled out the sharp knife she carried with her and threw it at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie took the sharp knife, held the blade with his right hand, wiped it on his face without changing color, and then smeared the blood in the palm of his hand on the top of Sissoko's head.

A smile appeared on Sissoko's face like dead bark, and he held Tang Jie's hand high and shouted loudly: "Mavi, the goddess of chaos, let us witness the birth of the contract together!"

The slaves bowed down in unison and shouted loudly, and the strange tone made Tang Jie feel very absurd.

Tang Jie waited for these people to be quiet, he held the old man's hand and shouted loudly: "Let's celebrate the birth of this contract!" He waved his hand to Bill and Simon: "Quick, bring up the food, bring the wine!"

As soon as Tang Jie's order was given, the sailors cheered, and the eyes of these slaves looking at Tang Jie one by one became different.

The old man is no longer frightened, the child is no longer crying, the woman is no longer frightened, and the man is no longer looking at everything around him with hatred and hostility.

Their eyes began to radiate a calm and vibrant gaze, no longer dead and dusty.

A grand feast unfolded on the beach of Alcatraz Island.

If there are no red candles and flowers, the wind is the accompaniment, if there is no luxurious wine table, then sit on the ground, if there is no beautiful dress, then go into battle shirtless, and if there is no maid, then do it yourself.

Although Tang Jie's sailors did not fully accept these dark-skinned, dirty-looking black slaves, they were happy that Tang Jie had subdued these brave slaves.

One after another, the sailors toasted Tang Jie with wooden wine glasses, and they admired Tang Jie's calm demeanor and wisdom in the face of danger just now.

And these slaves, since they were captured, they have not eaten a day, let alone drunk!

In front of food and wine, no matter how strong the hatred is, it will be reduced a little, not to mention that they have no grudge against Tang Jie in the first place.

The elders of this Dada tribe with status and status, under the leadership of the patriarch Sissoko, came to toast Tang Jie in turn.

Tang Jie solved the hidden danger of a backlog in his heart, he was in a good mood, and anyone who came to toast did not refuse, and they were all swallowed.

His boldness and amount of alcohol not only impressed these sailors, but also relieved the elders of the Dada tribe with his unbridled manner.

The abrupt revelry continued until the afternoon, when almost all the men were drunk.

Simon applauded, came to Tang Jie's side, and said with a smile: "Very wonderful speech, very wonderful skill! Congratulations, my captain, your power is unprecedented!"

Tang Jie's face was full of wine, his face was flushed, he smiled, waved his hand, and showed a smug smile on his face.

Simon then threw down a basin of cold water: "Just now with your order, we drank nearly half of the wine, half of the fresh water, and a third of the food. We now only have food for our normal ten days of consumption, and fresh water for eight days. Of course, if you order another, we'll be hungry in two days!"

Tang Jie was so cold from head to foot by this sentence that he woke up from the wine, and he was startled: "Won't it?"

Simon said lightly: "The wine banquet is always the most food-consuming thing, and its consumption is more than ten times that of a normal meal!"

Tang Jie's face gradually sank, and after he realized that he had solved a big trouble, he ushered in another big trouble.

That's the issue of food and fresh water on the island.

One can not drink alcohol and not eat, but one cannot not drink water.

Alcatraz Island is surrounded by abundant fish, and there are many wild animals on the island, as long as you don't overkill and let the women and children of the Dada tribe go fishing and hunting animals, it should be no problem to believe that food self-sufficiency.

But the biggest question is, how to solve the problem of fresh water?

Do you have to keep it by sea boats?

But what should I do if someone chokes my neck and breaks the shipping line?

Do you want to die of thirst on the island?

Tang Jie thought quickly.

Alcatraz Island is a very large island, people can search carefully on the island, maybe they can search for fresh water resources, and at the same time, they must actively buy a large amount of fresh water through Darius for reserves, and at the same time, he must find the magic crystal that can drive the Black Dragon King as soon as possible, and he must start the Black Dragon King in the shortest possible time and grasp the control of the sea.

Only in this way will he be able to seize the initiative in the war and ensure that his supply route will not be stuck by the enemy!

Thinking of this, Tang Jie said to Simon: "Tomorrow you will take Nia, William and Bill back to Sissis, this time you go back, you focus on replenishing fresh water, food and stone for building the port, this time I need ten full of merchant ships, ask for money, I will give it to you later, you give it to Darius!"

"Aren't you going, my captain?" asked Simon.

"I'm not going to follow, I'm here to settle the situation with Lilith. Tang Jie shook his head.

Simon nodded: "That's fine, but the amount of goods transported this time is too large, and it's easy to attract attention." ”

Tang Jie shook his head: "I'm in a race against time now, and there's no way to attract the attention of others!"

He looked at the beach with a bright bonfire and the Dada tribe and sailors lying crookedly on the beach, and said in a low tone: "I am not short of money, people, or materials now, but I am short of time!"

"It's really time to wait!" Tang Jie sighed.

I forgot to update the code code ==================================================================================, so I'm sorry to everyone.

When I woke up yesterday, I found that I had a stiff neck, and it hurt.

It's even worse after getting up today, the neck and shoulders are hurting, turning the head, raising the hand will be a sharp pain, and now the whole person is crooked in the chair typing for a day, and he only trembles and codes out 5000 words, hoping that tomorrow will be better
