Chapter 159 Who Dares to Take over Kaido?

The Kang family's expression changed after hearing Lu Li's words. He said to himself that pirates are pirates after all, and they want people to work in such dirty factories. Isn't Wano Country already suffering enough from these factories? ?

Sensing the change in the Kang family's expression, Lu Li explained: "Don't look so ugly. I haven't finished speaking yet. Does Mr. Kang family now think that these factories are not environmentally friendly and are the root cause of the famine in Wano?"

The Kang family nodded with a heavy expression, "Isn't it right? If it weren't for the pollution from these factories, the land would not be unable to produce food, the rivers would not be unable to catch fish, and the people would not be starving to death."

"Of course not."

Lu Li confidently denied the Kang family's words, "Mr. Kang family, you are a qualified manager and once was a famous person. Then you should know that even before Mr. Kaido came to this country, this country had Many people don’t have enough to eat.”

The Kang family frowned, not knowing what Lu Li wanted to say, "But at least there aren't so many people starving."

"Yes, but do you think that if the Kozuki family continues to govern, everyone will have enough to eat? Will the gap between the rich and the poor be narrowed?"

Lu Li raised a soul question.

The Kang family froze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say that was of course, but he suddenly realized that this was impossible because the Guangyue family had ruled this land for thousands of years. That's all.

According to his understanding of history, when the population of Wano reaches a certain level, there will be widespread famine, and then it will fall into war. Eventually, when most people are dead and the famine is over, it slowly calms down. .

"In a closed country, if there are no breakthrough changes in agricultural planting technology, the productivity of the land will always be limited, or even getting lower and lower."

Lu Li put forward a point of view that made the Kang family seem to have opened the door to a new world.

He was a smart manager, so he knew instantly. Lu Li's words explained the core of Wano's thousand-year reincarnation.

Their food...is limited to the number of people they can feed!

Therefore, once there are too many children, there will be famine, and there will never be an era when everyone can have enough to eat.

"Wano Country is a place rich in minerals, and the area of ​​arable land is not large. Even if the farmers work hard, the food they can produce is limited. If it is managed normally, some people will starve. This is impossible Avoided.”

Lu Li continued to explain, "But what if we open up the situation and provide food for the people without considering the country's food output?"

The Kang family came to their senses this time, "Overseas trade? But once the lifeline of food is controlled, the country will become extremely passive."

Lu Li appreciated Ieyasu even more. This was indeed a problem. In a normal world, a normal country should never let others manipulate its food supply.

If you don't have the ability to be self-sufficient in food, let alone how others will raise prices, if the enemy cuts off your food source during a war, you will basically be in trouble.

"Mr. Kang, who do you think would dare to make a fuss about the price of food in front of Yonko Kaido?"

Lu Li explained the core basis of this plan. What he analyzed previously was common sense, but this world is very rational.

It’s okay if Kaido of the Beasts doesn’t rob you when he goes out. How dare you raise the price with Kaido when buying food?

Ask Doflamingo, who is a Shichibukai and a Celestial Dragon, if he dares to make a fuss about the price when doing business with Kaido?

As far as Lu Li knows, Kaido has several long-term trading partners. In addition to helping Kaido distribute weapons, Doflamingo also helps Kaido obtain food. In addition to Doflamingo, there are also some big merchants on the sea. Will trade with Kaido and send him a large amount of food supplies.

Pirates don't just rob everything. It's better to say that pirates rob money on the sea just to use it for consumption.

Using the stolen money to spend money feels like using lottery money to go to nightclubs, which is much better than simply forcing it.

In order to provide long-term and stable supply, Kaido would not rob the merchant shipping guilds with which he had cooperated. He purchased supplies from them at a lower price and also protected the chamber of commerce, forming a good cooperative relationship.

In this way, those grain merchants will buy low-priced grain from countries with abundant grain production, and then sell it to Kaido at a price that is not very profitable. Kaido will obtain a stable source of food, and what he pays is only one side. A copy of the pirate flag.

Well, if those merchants encounter other pirates who want to rob them when they are sailing in the New World, they will show the flag of the Beast Pirates. Then the ordinary pirates will run away in fear and never dare to touch Kaido's shield. Boat.

Therefore, as long as Kaido is still the emperor of this sea, it is impossible for him to fail to obtain cheap food.

If you want to control Kaido in this regard, it can only be said that that person is tired of living.

"So... all food must be imported? Doesn't that mean that in the future we will rely on the Beast Pirates to deliver food? Will they be happy to keep paying for the citizens of Wano?"

After the Kang family figured out the key to the source of food, they raised a new question.

"Of course Mr. Kaido will not support this country in vain. He needs profits, so I say let these people build factories."

Lu Li said, "As for environmental issues, the Beast Pirates have already made preliminary solutions. In the future, they will discharge pollutants outside the country. I believe the water quality will gradually improve. In the future, people only need to work with peace of mind to have enough to eat." ”

"Discharge it abroad? Wouldn't it be discharged into the sea? Then what would other countries think of our country? Aren't we becoming villains who pollute the world?"

The Kang family frowned, feeling that this was also not a good solution.

Lu Li nodded, "I agree with your statement. Why don't you explain the pros and cons to Mr. Kaido?"

The Kang family was silent. He knew that Kaido didn't care about this at all, and the shameful thing was that he couldn't think of a better way. If he had to open a factory, then of course the pollutants should be discharged, at least they would not be harmful. their nationals.

In fact, he has studied the pollutants discharged from factories. If those things enter the small river water, they will obviously pollute and do great harm to the human body, but if they enter the boundless sea, it may not be a big deal.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the other party's plan was not unacceptable. At least it could improve the current situation first.

"Master Lu just said that environmental protection issues are already being solved, but if we want to build rivers to lead to the sea to discharge sewage, this is also a huge project, right? It won't be repaired in a few years."

As soon as the Kang family finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and as the earth shook and the mountains shook, he saw smoke and dust rising into the sky in the distance.

Lu Li glanced at the direction of the sound source and said, "The noise of the Barbarian Tyrants' work is really quite big. I obviously told them not to disturb the people too much."

Just last night, the leader of the Barbarian Tyrants came to Huadu to see him, but he frightened many people.

After some questioning, he learned that Kaido had temporarily handed over the command of the Barbarian Tyrant to him, but Lu Li had let them continue working before the Barbarian Tyrant's river reconstruction plan was completed. There are no other instructions.

It can only be said that the labor force of the ancient giants was really not very strong. They definitely couldn't do such delicate work as building a house, but when it came to digging and opening rivers, they were simply ruthless road-opening machines.

A barbarian can open hundreds of kilometers of rivers every day!

This is because Barbarian Tyrant is always lazy at work and goes to drink and eat without digging for a while.

According to Lu Li's estimation, with the current progress of the Barbarian Tyrant, he could connect the rivers in less than a week and create a sewage treatment network, allowing the wastewater from major factories to be smoothly discharged into Wano without affecting the local river ecology.

Well, the route map was drawn by Lu Li. He directly brought seawater in. It is not the same as the original Tamsui River. It is completely isolated from the previous Tamsui River.

If he wanted to build a perfect sewage treatment line, he should actually let Barbarian block off the river to prevent sewage from seeping into the land and causing pollution to spread.

But his ultimate goal is not to discharge sewage into the sea, but to persuade Kaido to build a waste treatment plant, so he will make do with it at this stage.

"Look, with the power of the Beast Pirates, infrastructure and other things are very simple. From next week, the river water will gradually become clear."

Lu Li said to the Kang family and took out a document, "This is the factory construction plan for the Jiuli area. Mr. Kang will take a look at it. After that, you will control the progress of the project in the area. Of course, I will come and check it from time to time." progress.”

Kang took the document with a complicated expression. He never thought that one day he would join Kaido's daughter and help Kaido build the factory he hated most.

But Lu Li's words just now made him realize that the other party's plan was completely feasible.

As long as the factory is built, these people in Jiuli will no longer need to pick up garbage. Instead, they will have serious and stable jobs. Then they can naturally use their wages to buy food.

"When will I take office?"

Kang asked.

"Oden's castle has been burned down, but there is still a mansion nearby that can be assigned to your office. If there is more manpower, I will send a group of guards. You can find your own confidants. You should know more capable people than I do. ”

Lu Li arranged that he believed that there were still many capable people lurking in Wano. As long as the Kang family could persuade them, they could quickly promote infrastructure construction.

"Leave it to me. Even now, I don't seek fame or fortune. I only hope that Mr. Lu and the general can govern this country well and let the people here live a good life."

Kang Jia said firmly. At this time, the baby in his arms started crying again.

"Go feed the baby first, Mr. Kang. Please work hard so that there will be fewer and fewer babies like this in your arms."

After Lu Li said that, he turned and left. He was busy now. The official documents and identity certificates would be in the Kang family's hands tomorrow morning.

After leaving Jianlu Village, Lu Li traveled around various villages and towns to inspect the distribution of food. After confirming that the plan was being implemented smoothly, he returned to Huadu.

During this period of his busy life, Yamato was not idle either. Following Lu Li's instructions, she also traveled around the country with the car team. As a monarch, she personally helped the people deal with some problems and distributed food. Within a few days, she was among the people. The reputation has increased.

When the two met in the Flower City, they both saw the exhaustion on each other's faces, but Yamato's face was more obviously happy.

She is not only enjoying the gratitude and love of the people, but also feels happy that she has really done something for the people.

"Brother Lu, the food has been distributed, but I heard that you made a guarantee with dad that the factory will be built soon. Is this really possible?"

Yamato excitedly asked Lu Li for advice. She had also read Lu Li's three-step strategy book. The first step had been roughly completed, so she was a little curious about how to proceed with the follow-up plan.

"sure."

Lu Li said confidently.

"But... I have seen the design drawings of major factories. These factories are very tall and have sophisticated internal designs. Every factory is a big project. Even if all the unemployed people are allowed to build the factory, it will still take a long time. A lot of time, no one or two years can be good, right?”

Yamato asked in confusion. She has been very good at thinking about problems recently.
