But she didn't ask for Lin Mengya's money for these supplies.
"Miss Huo is so polite, that means she doesn't regard me, Ma Qinghong, as a friend! Besides, you have helped us so much and these supplies are not worth much at all. After all, we are taking advantage."
Seeing the sincerity on Ma Qinghong's face, Lin Mengya finally had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness.
Fortunately, they had reserved enough space, otherwise these materials would not be able to be accommodated.
After obtaining Lin Mengya's consent, Ma Qinghong stood on the bow.
Although he can see far when he stands high, no matter how high he stands on the sea, all he can see is the endless sea.
The sea surface looks so calm, as calm as a mirror, gradually blurring into a blue line where the water meets the sky.
Sea people like them have been making a living in the sea for generations, and they do know that there are countless dangers lurking under the seemingly calm sea.
But she likes days like this, likes to wake up every day and face the vast and boundless sea.
If she is really the daughter of the Gao family, what's the fun in facing those beautifully decorated prisons every day?
Ma Qinghong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the turbid air in her chest. At this moment, the balance of family love in her heart finally found her own balance.
She is the secret of the Gao family, and she will stick to it forever, and will not let anyone destroy her originally peaceful life.
Lin Mengya knew at a glance that this girl was hiding something on her mind!
But she was not a talkative person, she just stood on the bow of the boat with her and looked towards the end of the sea.
Ma Qinghong regained his former boldness, with undisguised envy on his face, and said, "This ship is really beautiful! When I save enough money in the future, I will build a big ship myself and take my brothers on the sea every day."
!”
Lin Mengya smiled. Unexpectedly, this girl Ma looked mature and steady, but she also had a childlike innocence.
Her two sons changed their minds almost every day.
Two days ago, the two of them were thinking about making a flying egg, the kind that can fly in the sky, and then take their sister and parents to fly freely in the sky.
Although Lin Mengya expressed support for her two sons' wild fantasies, she did not want to participate.
There was no way she could tell her sons that flying eggs was impossible because planes couldn't lay eggs.
Yes, that's right.
The whimsical ideas of the two children come from the modern education she gave the two little guys.
Her magical experience was mysterious and mysterious, and she did not intend to tell her children, but occasionally, she would still tell her children about some modern experiences.
Just think of it as a fairy tale you made up for them!
The two little guys also accepted it well. They had 100% trust in their mother, not to mention that what Lin Mengya said was like a castle in the air to them and they could only rely on their own imagination.
She mentioned that a plane can seat hundreds of people, so the two brothers suddenly thought, if they were just a family of five, would a flying egg be enough?
Seeing Lin Mengya smiling, Ma Qinghong's eyes brightened, "I knew you would be my confidant! Alas, it's a pity that this ship cost so much. With just the little money I have, I don't know how long I will be able to save it.
Just go!”
Lin Mengya asked curiously, "But don't you have a lot of silver on your island? If you use that silver to build a big ship, wouldn't it be easier for you to exchange for supplies in the future?"
She knew that the sea people on the island were basically self-sufficient except for some important supplies, but they had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and most of them lived a relatively poor life. In this case, why not
How about using this money to improve your life?
Unexpectedly, Ma Qinghong smiled bitterly, "To be honest, Miss Huo, we people don't have families, and even the land we step on does not belong to us."
Seeing the confusion on her face, Ma Qinghong said sadly, "Our ancestors were once refugees from outside the region, and they ended up here by chance."
"In order to make a living, our ancestors had no choice but to cultivate land on this small island. They finally managed to raise a large family here, but they never expected that this small island belongs to the Imperial Clan."
"They sent tens of thousands of people to besiege us. Our ancestors had no choice but to agree to hand over a large sum of money every ten years."
"At the beginning, because there were more ships on the sea, the business on the island was pretty good, and we still had a chance to breathe."
"But business has been hard to do in recent decades, and there have been fewer ships coming and going. Soon we will have to pay money again, but I don't know if we can save enough this time."
Lin Mengya's eyes widened and she looked at the island and then at Ma Qinghong.
"Why? According to you, before your ancestors landed on the island, this island was a desert island. It's you who
After we boarded it, we started cultivating and operating it, and we achieved its current scale. Why should you give your hard-earned money to others?"
"And that Imperial Clan, which doesn't sound like a good thing, and they brought tens of thousands of people to surround you. Isn't this just a hooligan thing?"
I have to say that after hearing Miss Huo's words, Ma Qinghong felt very happy.
She seemed to have found a soulmate, and she also opened up her chat box and complained with the other person.
"That's right! I heard that the Imperial Clan has been in decline for a long time. I'm not sure whether it still exists now. I also advised my father and grandfather before. We have already paid so much money. Now the Imperial Clan
It has disappeared long ago, and we shouldn’t have to pay anymore, but my father won’t listen to anything he says.”
Lin Mengya sighed, there was no way, sometimes the old man just accepted death, and I had never heard of this imperial clan before!
Doesn't it mean that the four regions are so chaotic that there is no unified country at all?
"That's true, but I think I have to be on guard! Since you said that the imperial clan is going to send people over to collect money recently. You might as well test the other party. If possible, you can use the money to buy out the use of this island.
right."
Ma Qinghong nodded sharply, and every word spoke to her heart.
"Yes, yes! That's what I thought, but I never figured out how to do it."
Lin Mengya looked at the slightly desolate island and thought about it.
"I think the reason why the imperial clan collected money from you forcefully before was because they saw the business opportunities on this island. But if they come this time and see the island is desolate, you may not be able to support it anymore.
Then this island will lose its meaning of existence."
"What you have to do at this time is to cry and pretend to be pitiful, and then you take the opportunity to ask each other, can you be taken away together? They also said that whoever wants to come to this island can come, and you can't live here anyway."
"Tell me again about your miserable experience of being bullied by the Feilong Gang, and say that you feel that you have no support at all in this vast sea, and you might as well live on land, where you can at least be safe."
"This way you can see the reaction from the Imperial Clan. I guess they will weigh the pros and cons and maybe give up on this island. But they will definitely not take you away. After all, it is a trouble."
"At this time, you find another person. This person should preferably be of high moral status and express his reluctance to leave this island. He also says that he will die on this island, even if he dies of hunger or thirst.
I also admit it."
"Then, you pretended to be helpless and begged the people on the Imperial Clan to see if they could buy out the use rights of this island to those old people, even if it means giving them an extra burial ground."
"As for the other young people, you have to take them out to start a life together, and then these young people have to express their impatience. In this way, the people from the Imperial Clan will most likely agree. Finally, you
Let them leave you with effective evidence to prove that you have bought out the right to use the island from the Imperial Clan."
After this small combo, Lin Mengya didn't believe that the Imperial Clan would not let go.
I also know that although this small island in the sea is important, it was desolate before the ancestors of the Ma family came.
That shows that the Imperial Clan actually doesn't care about this small island at all, but they just see a profit, so they use force to threaten people and make sacrifices to them.
It doesn't matter if you offer it for a few years. Even after so many years, the imperial family's appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
This is simply more cruel than Zhou Bapi!
It is impossible for these sea people to work hard all their lives and end up making wedding clothes for others. This is too unfair.
Ma Qinghong now wants to recite every word of Miss Huo's words word for word. This trick is really too high!
But Lin Mengya didn't think she was very smart. In fact, it was because they were limited by their own thinking before.
"Actually speaking, your ancestors may not be willing to give the money, but it is because the enemy is facing them. If they don't give in, they may not even be able to save their lives."
"Although your numbers are always at a disadvantage now, the development of this island is indeed inseparable from you. Even if a new group of people come here, they may not be able to run it better than you."
"This can be seen from the fact that the imperial clan did not drive you away and replaced you with its own people. Not everyone can endure this kind of hardship."
"Otherwise this island really belongs to them, and the profits are so huge, they will definitely leave such benefits to their own people. They just think that you can do free labor and endure hardships, so they keep you and there will be a steady stream of money.
That’s all.”
In Shangyanshang, Lin Mengya thinks about this matter from the perspective of the interests of businessmen.
If it was her, if it was a hen that could lay golden eggs, then why didn't she hold it in her hand?
It's just because this hen is difficult to raise and requires a lot of effort, so he can only let the enemy do the work for him.
