Cosma Empire

Du Lin's words shocked these young people in the church, and he did not lie.

People tell themselves all the time, fathers, relatives, neighbors, friends, they all say the same thing, don't be stupid, it'll be alright. But is life getting better? Look around, even the street lights will be turned off at night, they don't even have the courage to go out, because if they are still wandering on the street after ten o'clock here, they may be regarded as homeless wanderers by the patrol Han, he was beaten up and sent to the sixth or seventh district to work as a coolie. There is probably no hope of returning in this life.

Educational resources, medical resources, employment resources, these seemingly beautiful words have nothing to do with them, because they live in the fifth district, because they are poor. They didn't do stupid things as everyone hoped, and they worked honestly and dutifully, but did their lives get better?

Du Lin's words were not as exciting as what Carter said, but what he said was like a loud bell, echoing in everyone's heart, shocking those who still wanted to pretend to be asleep had to open their eyes to face this situation. Cruel world.

Changing a life is not an easy thing, it takes a lot of courage, even bloodshed and death. Do you give up hope of changing your life because of these possibilities?

Du Lin took out another cigarette and lit it. Behind the smoke, he asked in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself: "If you don't fight, how do you know what will happen after you fight?"

Three days later, a freighter slowly departed from the port. Most of the ship was full of crates of wine, as well as dozens of pistols and a few rifles that Durin had obtained from various sources. There were not only members of the fellowship on board, but also Duffer, and Durin himself.

In his words, the first move requires more than just putting things in other people's hands and telling them how to use weapons to fight for territory, it also needs to establish a direct relationship. If Carter or someone else completes this relationship instead of him, maybe he will be emptied in the future. Du Lin never simply guessed people's hearts with good intentions. He always labeled everyone with the greatest malice, and then tore off the label little by little... Maybe some people couldn't tear it off.

Duffer's face was a little green. When he came to Irian by sea last time, he almost threw up and lay down. Sailing in the sea gave him an inexplicable awe and fear. He gripped the handrail of the ship's side tightly and kept smoking cigarettes. The farther away he was from Illian, the harder he gripped the gauntlet, and even the tense veins could be seen.

Du Lin patted him on the shoulder, the ship kept bumping, and some spray foam flew up and covered his face, giving him a feeling that the whole world was completely new.

"I know there is a way to avoid seasickness, but I just don't know if it's true." Dulin thought of many folk remedies for seasickness in the world in his dream, and he picked one that could be done here and said it out, " I heard that the orange peel is crushed and stuffed into the navel and then taped,

It can effectively reduce the dizziness caused by seasickness. "

In the next second, Dufo covered his mouth and rushed into the cabin. Although it was not the era of backward technology more than a hundred years ago, most seagoing ships kept some fresh fruit trees, such as orange trees. On the one hand, it is to meet the diverse needs of different classes for food, and on the other hand, it is not worth using a refrigerator for some fruits.

Du Lin shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the beach that had completely disappeared on the sea level, and turned around and walked back to the cabin. He needed to rest for a while, and they would dock at the first place in three days. Wesley's seaside city. All the cities near the sea are not too backward. Although there are some small villages still living a poor life by the sea, there are absolutely no poor and backward cities.

Whether it is sea transportation or marine resources, it is enough for the seaside city to have enough economic pillars to support the development of the city. Wisley is such a seaside city.

Wesley has a permanent population of more than three million, and the city is dominated by fishing and light industries. They mainly sell various fish caught in the sea into cans and sell them to other cities. Although the taste of canned food may not be satisfactory, many middle- and lower-class citizens of society still like these things-it is cheap and it is meat.

They don't know what amino acids are, and they don't understand why humans need to supplement amino acids, but they know that if they don't eat meat, they won't have the strength to work. Compared with those tens of pounds of beef, this kind of canned food that can buy six for one dollar is their favorite thing.

There are also Guarts in this city. After the empire destroyed the Guart Kingdom, in order not to let those Guarts who had caused them great casualties stay together, they sent all the Guarts They were all broken up and distributed to various cities. In Willis, the guarts are mainly engaged in canning assembly work with a high degree of labor repetition and very heavy work, and as sailors on some fishing boats.

That night, this city with few tourists had already fallen into a deep sleep. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs that woke up in the middle of the night, there was only the sound of waves on the pier. At this time, on the edge of the most remote berth, a dozen people were standing in the cold wind and smoking. They were wearing some gray washed, even repaired seals, and old round hats, trembling slightly.

The sea breeze at night was not so comfortable. The leader was walking back and forth anxiously. Just when some people were guessing whether the compatriots who contacted them might have mistaken the date, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the sea.

The middle-aged man, who was called "Buddy" by the Guarts, took off the cigarette butt from his mouth, threw it on the pallet and stepped on it. He picked up an oil lamp from the ground and lit it, and issued the "three long and two short" signal according to the agreed content, and soon the black shadow on the opposite side also responded with a "three short and two long" signal, which was his own.

Amidst the rustling waves, the boat quickly approached the pier. A guy wearing a luxurious wool trench coat and a hat that must have been very beautiful stepped onto the pallet in the moonlight. He shook hands with Buddy, and the voice Some young, "Nice to meet you, I'm Doolin!"

Buddy shook hands with Du Lin vigorously and took them back. He was worried that the calluses on his hands would hurt the young man. Having stayed in this city all his life, his palms have already been covered with wounds and calluses from sea fish and work, and the edges of those wounds and calluses are as sharp as knives. He glanced at the full load of the boat and said "Help them", and the people behind him immediately started helping others put on the pallets.

The two of them didn't speak, and soon someone came running over with a cart. They packed the things quickly, and then drove here together.

It has to be said that although Buddy is the most prestigious man among the Guarts living in Willis, he is not rich. He was only in his forties, and the wrinkles on his face had already sunk in as deeply as an ax split. He was also very old and haggard. They came to a basement not far from the pier, which was Buddy's home, a damp basement. Fortunately, the area of ​​this basement is not small. Perhaps the only thing that can prove Buddy's identity is the area of ​​this basement.

"The conditions are poor, I feel ashamed!" He brought two glasses of water and put them on the table, his face a little ashamed.

Du Lin didn't care, he laughed loudly, "Look, that's exactly what I came here for, two hundred cases of wine, ten pistols and enough bullets, I believe as long as you can sell these two thousand four hundred bottles of wine Get out, and next time I come, maybe I'll live in a villa on the hill."

When Buddy thought of the future full of prospects, he was full of pride, and he nodded vigorously, "On behalf of all the Guarts in Willis, I thank you, thank you for helping us, I can't describe it in words. In my mood at this time, apart from saying thank you, I don’t know what words to use to express my excitement.”

Du Lin patted his arm, and said pointedly: "I hope that in the next few days, you won't scold me before going to bed at night. These things can help you, but they will also hurt you." You guys, it is very presumptuous to ask, are you ready to go to war?"

The city of Willis has a little more demand for alcoholic drinks than other places, because it is close to the sea, and there are still fishing boats going out to sea even in winter. At this time, the greatest hope of every sailor and seaman is to have a bottle or two of wine with a slightly higher alcohol content, which can help them drive away the cold during fishing operations, and also allow them to have a good night's sleep.

Buddy's eyes were a bit complicated, and he nodded with a wry smile, "Isn't this exactly what you hoped for?"

"I will leave three people to help you complete the initial things, and I will take them away next month, so I hope that you can learn as much as possible how to fight and how to grab business in a month's time." Well, when Du Lin was talking, those people had already neatly stacked the wine that represented wealth. They had all worked in the docks, and this work was not even enough to warm up.

"I will give you these wines at a price of 15 yuan per bottle. You can sell them for more than 25 yuan locally, and the retail price can be higher, but the risk is greater. Remember, try not to let those Bars are on credit, they’re trying to take advantage of it, and if someone asks for it, don’t do business with them. As long as you have the stock, you’re not going to worry about buyers.”

"Once the sales of these things are opened, it will inevitably attract the attention of local bootleggers. They will definitely trouble you, don't be afraid, fight back fiercely! Back down, bow your head and won't let them give you half of the market share, It will only make them breed vicious thoughts. Only by beating them up, scaring them, or even killing them, can our things be fully spread here."
