In fact, it is not much trouble to take care of those lepers. Perhaps it is because they know that they have been abandoned by human society and those lepers have a serious inferiority complex. When they first arrived on Molokai Island, those lepers had a serious conflict with the indigenous people on the island. It is because Father Damien reconciled that those lepers could live in harmony with the indigenous people on the island.

After so many years, there are few indigenous people on the island, and the lepers have no energy to make trouble. They rarely appear on the Kalopapa Peninsula in daily life. In addition to Father Damien, they rarely contact outsiders.

If Li Mu wanted to bring Father Damien to Boston to preside over the biological laboratory, he would need to take over Father Damien's work. Not to mention continuing to study and treat leper patients, at least he would often help those leper patients so that they would not starve to death.

This job is most suitable for Benjamin to do.

Benjamin is determined to make a career in politics and wants to gain greater support. Just political achievements are not enough. He also wants others to believe that Benjamin has a noble heart and a compassionate heart, so that he can get more political points.

From Li Mu's standpoint, it is not unhelpful to do this.

Molokai Island covers an area of ​​260 square miles, about 670 square kilometers. Such a large island is almost deserted because of the existence of lepers. This is a great waste. You should know that Molokai Island is not undesirable. The unique black beach is wonderful. There are also the world's tallest sea cliff, the longest waterfall in Hawaii and the largest white beach. If you develop it moderately, it will be another world-famous scenic spot.

In the original history, Molokai Island was forgotten by the world during the wave of Hawaii construction from the 1960s to the 1970s because of the existence of lepers. It was not until the 1990s that Molokai Island was moderately developed, and since then it has been known for its uncontaminated original style.

Well, the so-called "not yet polluted original style" can also be understood as a serious lack of development, but this cannot deny the development potential of Molokai Island.

Li Mu definitely did not help in Hawaii. If the Kingdom of Hawaii becomes Hawaii State in the United States, Li Mu will have no room to intervene. So what Li Mu has to do is to turn Molokai Island into his own private territory in the shortest time. In this way, even if the Kingdom of Hawaii is annexed by the United States in the future, the US government will recognize Li Mu's ownership.

It’s not OK to admit it. Li Mu has votes in his hands, which is Li Mu’s biggest reliance.

Father Damien did not immediately agree with Li Mu's suggestion, and Li Mu was not in a hurry. He returned to the camp to see Tian and take a horse on a walk with Benjamin, either watching Ford Benjamin's training, or taking a boat to fish in the sea, and having fun.

On the 20th, the "Sea Light Cavalry" arrived on Molokai Island, and a large number of daily necessities were also sent with the ship.

Li Mu ordered people to carry these living materials and continue to find Father Damien.

"This is-" Goodbye Li Mu, Father Damien's expression was complicated.

Since Li Mu visited Father Damien's "chapel", Father Damien has not gone to the temporary camp to protest. It is estimated that Father Damien also knows that such unpainful protests will not work. Moreover, Father Damien has been disturbed by Li Mu's words and his mind has flown to Boston.

No matter how noble a person is, he has weaknesses. If he can realize his personal value in the process of realizing social values, it would be best. However, pursuing ideals is of course a good thing. No one wants to pursue ideals without having a hungry meal. Father Damien also wants to see what the "lights" and "phone" mentioned by Li Mu are.

"What I sent to those lepers are just some clothes and daily necessities. They have to find a way to find food. I will send poultry and livestock in a while. Since taro can be grown here, there is no shortage of feed. As long as the side food is rich, there is no difference between living here and living in Honolulu." Li Mu said brightly.

It's no difference, but it's actually a big difference.

However, no leper would complain. As Li Mu said, they were all abandoned by God and were not qualified to complain.

"Thank you, you are indeed more suitable to take care of them than me." Father Damien had to agree that although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

"It's not my care, it's Mr. Benjamin Harrison. These supplies are all donated by Mr. Benjamin Harrison. I just brought these things over." Li Mu introduced Benjamin at the right time.

The main thing is to introduce Benjamin's surname, so Li Mu emphasized it twice in a row.

Benjamin now knows that leprosy is not that scary, so he has less fear and his smile on his face is even more sincere: "To be honest, Father Damien, I want to express my respect to you. When I heard Reim talk about you, I couldn't believe it. Thank you for your efforts, you made me believe that this world is still full of beauty."

"Mr. Harrison, I'm glad to know you." Father Damien was kind and polite.

The Harrison family is indeed a prominent family. If you have a little understanding of American politics, you will know what the Harrison family means, so Father Damien will be even more gentlemanly than a gentleman.

"If you don't mind, I think I can help. I talked about leprosy with Reim. Now we have to do more than find treatment options. Prevention and isolation are more important. Please forgive me for saying that, but we have to consider the health of most people." Benjamin said as soon as he opened his mouth, "the interests of most people", which is indeed a good excuse.

"What you said makes sense, Mr. Harrison, but we can't just give up these poor people, they all have the right to live." Damien was upset at Benjamin's tone.

"No one wants to give up on them, so I am here. You have to know that this is not a problem for a certain person. Our goal is to make everyone live better as much as possible, but we are not an equally distributed slave society." Benjamin had a different opinion, and was equally firm.

"Okay, let's put this problem aside first. It seems that it's more important to deliver these things to the people who need them the most." Li Mu didn't let them continue to argue. Both politicians and scientists were very sloppy, so they could not tell them until next year.

"We don't have to send it to the entrance of the Kalopapapa Peninsula, and they will take it away by themselves." It seems that Father Damien was also in a lingering fear and set up an activity area for those leprosy patients.

"That's the best." Li Mu didn't want to take the risk. Although the probability of leprosy is not high, it is not without it.

After delivering the goods, Li Mu and Father Damien returned to the church.

This time I talked for a long time and in-depth discussion. Li Mu introduced the laboratory in Boston to Father Damien in detail, and introduced aspirin, sulfa, and penicillin to Father Damien.

This successfully aroused the interest of Father Damien. Although Father Damien did not agree to work at the Junma Group Laboratory, Li Mu felt that it was not far from success, so Li Mu returned to Honolulu directly.

On board the "Sea Light Cavalry", Benjamin was immediately startled when he heard Li Mu talk about his plan: "You mean, are you going to see Karakava and then buy Molokai Island?"

Karacava is the candidate chosen by Washington. Michael and Benjamin's main task for this trip is to ensure that Karacava becomes the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

During the last election, Karakava was Nunalino's opponent, but Karakava failed in the end and was unable to be elected as the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. This time, Karakava made a comeback, so it was natural that she was bound to win.

Of course, after experiencing a failure, Caracava has fully realized that without Washington's nodding, Caracava probably wouldn't be able to do so. So after Nunalino passed away last year, Caracava went to Washington alone and expressed his thoughts to Ulysses Grant, which successfully won the support of Washington.

Winning Washington's support does not mean that Karakava will accept all the requests of Washington. It is estimated that if Karakava knew that Washington was trying to annex the Kingdom of Hawaii, Karakava would not agree to Washington's request.

This is the significance of Li Mu's existence. Li Mu will use Karakava to attack the stubborn forces in the Hawaii Kingdom, then undermine Karakava, and finally complete the referendum. At that time, even if Karakava does not agree to the US annexation of Hawaii, he will still recognize the referendum results with his nose.

Speaking of referendum, as long as this step is carried out, there is no possibility of failure.

As early as the 1850s and 1860s, Kamihami IV was still in power. Hawaii was in a state of despair due to backward medical conditions and various diseases were rampant. After Kamihami IV succeeded to the throne, in 1860, Kamihami IV established the Seaman's House and Queen's Hospital in Honolulu to provide free medical treatment for Hawaiians and half of Hawaiian descent. In order to curb the power of Americans, Kamihami IV introduced the Anglican Church to gain a foothold on the island, and was impatient with the extreme restraint of American missionaries, so he became suspicious of American businessmen. Therefore, Kamihami IV gradually replaced all Americans who served in the cabinet.

Of course, Americans would not let such a disobedient king go, so in 1862, Prince Kuaichiolli, the only son of Kamiha IV, died of illness, and Kamiha IV stopped inquiries about state affairs.

Of course, in the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Prince Kuaijioli's death must have nothing to do with the Americans, but this is the case.
