Pirates of the First Empire

There is nothing wrong with what Doyle said about my hometown. The hometown of my previous life is also my hometown. Of course, this statement is not a lie, but it does make sense.

However, this kind of perspective of looking at things from the perspective of the "ruling class" is obviously not something that Tom, a boat builder, can easily understand, let alone Dan and the two young men Espagu and Frankie who have never been out of Fishman Island in their life. .

So, Doyle simply explained to them directly.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first. It means that if you want to get rich in a place, you need to build roads first. The transportation will be convenient, and the economy will develop quickly."

"Only when the transportation is convenient, the local resource advantages can be quickly transformed into economic advantages and drive the local economic development. Only when the resources are efficiently circulated, can it be easier to bring a better life for everyone."

"Take the sea train you are currently building as an example. It can play a much greater role than you imagined. In this way, Mr. Tom, let me ask you a question first."

Doyle looked at Tom on the side and said, Tom was also taken aback by Doyle, he thought Doyle would explain it directly, but he still nodded, expressing his willingness to accept questions.

"In your perception, what effect should the sea train you build have on the city of water?"

After listening to the question, Tom began to think seriously. He recalled the conversation with the old shipwright. The old shipwright told him that although the blueprint would bring bad luck, the useful part of it could not be discarded because of this.

Therefore, the blueprint that the old shipwright's family had guarded for generations, and they dared not even look at it, was directly taken out by the old shipwright to study with Tom. It was also from that moment that the concept of the sea train began to be developed from the two pens. step into shape.

"Traveling through the worst weather, transporting goods and services between islands. Let everyone in the city of water, even if surrounded by monstrous waves like the gods of water, still have unimpeded access to the outside world. This is what I must build The reason for the sea train!"

The first sentence is what Tom once said to the justice of Judiciary Island, and the latter is the voice of Tom and the old shipwright who entrusted everything to him.

"True, but this is only the most superficial role, Mr. Tom, you are too small for the role of a sea train."

"First of all, the islands that the sea train passes through include the capital of water, the town of spring queen "Holy Poplar", and the "capital of gourmet food" Pukki. These islands are relatively developed among the great waterways. "

That's right, even the water capital, which has been going downhill, can still be regarded as a relatively prosperous existence in the entire sluggish great waterway.

Not to mention, no matter whether it is Puji, the "Holy Poplar and the gourmet capital" in Queen's Town of Spring, one of them is Spring Road with pleasant climate and pleasant scenery, and a gourmet paradise famous for its gourmet food and outstanding chefs.

"When the sea train is fully open, a huge business circle will be formed among the three. They will communicate with each other, and the resources will be used most efficiently. With the three islands as the core, the development of the entire great waterway will be driven. .”

"In layman's terms, after the sea train you built is officially opened to traffic, every aborigine in the city of water, even if they don't do anything, can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing."

"Why is this so? It's just because the capital of water will become the gathering place of all resources on the entire route and the largest commercial center in the shortest possible time."

"And the capital of water will also become a place where every inch of land is expensive. At that time, all fixed assets owned by every aborigine, including land and houses, will also continue to appreciate in value..."

"Similarly, Shengbaiyang and Puji, which are connected with the water capital, will also get the same effect. It is conservatively estimated that the water capital will be at least a hundred times more prosperous within ten years of the opening of the sea train!"

If Doyle's previous narration is only for the three masters and apprentices to have a clearer understanding of the value of the sea train they built step by step.

Then, Doyle's last sentence directly let them understand that what he did was actually so great. If this is really the case, then it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the benefactors of the entire water capital!?

The fact is also true. The reason why Espagu was able to not only establish a giant monopoly shipbuilding company "Kararay" in a short period of time after Tom's death, but also be elected the mayor of the water capital, is it not Tom? The role of the legacy left behind?

As the saying goes, whoever rides on the people's heads, the people will throw him down; whoever is a bull and horse for the people, the people will always remember him!If you put the people in your heart, the people will lift you up!

Although the three masters and apprentices of Espagu are now reduced to being driven to Hulk Island and living the most difficult life, once the sea train passes, everything will be reversed. When they experience the benefits brought by the sea train After that, I can't leave anymore.

At this time, as long as Espagu ascends to the top, all the people in the capital of water are his most fanatical believers, not for anything else, just because of the operation and maintenance of the sea train, only he can do it! ( PS: At that time in the plot, everyone thought Frankie was dead.)

Moreover, even if the CP and the Straw Hats made a big fuss in the Water City in the end, even the Straw Hats took the sea train to the Judicial Island, which eventually indirectly led to the destruction of the Judicial Island...

So what about Espagu at this time?His position as the mayor of the city of water is still as stable as Mount Tai. Even, according to Doyle's knowledge, that is, the plot on the title page of the manga shows that the sullen mayor of Bingshan changed a new secretary afterwards. A talented loli who is only in her teens!

"So, Mr. Tom, you are far greater than you imagined, and the sea train you created can also create much greater value than you imagined!"

"This……"

Doyle was full of praise when he came up, which made Tom a little bit at a loss. Could it be that the old man is really as great as this young man said?

And looking back at Frankie and Espagu, the eyes of his own master became bright, not to mention Granny Ke Keluo, who is Tom's little fan girl. Stick it on Tom.

"That's why I am willing to personally go to the Water City to recruit you. Although our Andre Kingdom is not a big power now, this is only temporary."

"This, I think, just because I am the only one in the world who can clearly recognize your value, you should understand that I am not a mediocre person!"

In the end, while Doyle affirmed Tom's personal value, he did not forget to explain that he "recognizes heroes with his own eyes". He deserves what he's worth.
