"What!? Building a sewage treatment plant?" Kaido sat in the main seat, his face full of reluctance when he heard Lu Li's proposal. "Why is Mr. Kaido so opposed to this?" Lu Li asked curiously. He hadn't said the cost yet. "I have seen the treatment methods of factories in some countries. The processes are cumbersome and the cost is high. If we need to treat sewage, I know that the income will drop a lot without doing calculations." Kaido said dissatisfied. This time, Lu Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kaido to know that sewage was normally treated and discharged. However, the other party simply didn't do it because he simply thought it would be troublesome and feared a loss of profits. "Mr. Kaido, you have misconceptions about this matter." Lu Li explained, "In ordinary countries, it is indeed a big expense for factories to process wastewater and waste, but in the end, in the long run, it is nothing more than labor expenses. But in our country of Wano, labor is very cheap. ” As he spoke, he took out a document with the conclusions he reached after calculations.
Kaido took it and took a look, a little surprised, "So cheap?" Lu Li nodded, "Yes, it's still the theory mentioned before, because our food is very cheap, and the actual cost is only that food, and the profits of our products are extremely violent, so if we allocate manpower to treat sewage, it will just be It’s a drop in the bucket, and the profit ratio will not drop significantly.” "That's true if it's just manpower, but it requires technology to treat sewage, right?" Kaido thought. "Mr. Kaiduo said it right. Technology is the key to sewage treatment. It is impossible to turn sewage into clean water just by relying on people. Therefore, we need high-tech sewage treatment equipment. The first step is to install it at each factory node. Purification, and finally the terminal end of the river is uniformly treated with large equipment.” Lu Li spread out the current map of Wano Country, which was filled with dense factory connection lines. "With so much equipment, the amount of money required is not a small number." Maria at the scene frowned after seeing the map. After reading it, Kaido didn't have much idea of the specific amount. He just waved his hand and said, "The equipment is not difficult to solve. Let that boy Doflamingo do it for me. I will only give him 100 million Baileys." Lu Li smiled when he heard this, "This is how we pirates behave." "I believe he will agree." Jhin, who was sitting in the deputy position, said coldly, "He has made a lot of money through artificial devil fruits over the years. He understands what we mean." Kaido is not a big enemy. If he knows that he has been cheated and does not react at all, then he is not Kaido. Just through this equipment purchase, Henhen He gave Doflamingo a thumbs up and made him vomit out everything he had eaten in the past few years. According to Lu Li's original estimate, the total value of these equipment in the pirate world should be more than 5 billion beli. Kaido would definitely be unwilling to spend this money on environmental protection. But now they have someone they can blackmail, and Doflamingo can definitely come up with the money. Rather, as the Joker in the underground world, and having direct contact with Caesar, it should be very cheap for him to get this equipment. . As for whether Doflamingo is willing to do it or not, he has no choice at all, because he is a smart person, and smart people think more. I am afraid that he is too scared now. "Well, it would be great if Mr. Kaido agrees. I thought it would be difficult to convince you, but you agreed before I even mentioned the subsequent benefits of this matter."
Lu Li said with a smile. "Are there other benefits?" Kaido said confused. In fact, he would have been unwilling to do things like environmental protection a few months ago, but now he trusts Lu Li very much and always feels that everything he does is beneficial to him, so he just briefly discussed it. Lu Li's proposal was approved. "Of course, didn't I say before that if the Governor wants to realize his dream, the power of the general trend is also indispensable. If foreigners are allowed to travel to Wano Country, they will see the prosperity of Wano Country and also see the peace and prosperity of Wano Country. What will they think if they see us discharging sewage directly into the sea? " Lu Li explained, "This is not good for the reputation of Wano Country, nor is it good for Mr. Kaido to recruit like-minded strong people." "It turns out that if we arouse hostility from other countries, the rumors will be detrimental to us, and there will be no help when we raise troops in the future." Jin said thoughtfully, "As expected of Mr. Lu, he has thought deeply." Compared with their great cause, if they can lay the groundwork for everything with just a small amount of money, it is undoubtedly money well spent. "Then it's settled. You're coming to Ghost Island today. Do you have anything else to do?" Kaido was in a good mood and already wanted to drink. "Mr. Kaido, I really have to trouble you with something today. You have to go to Wano Country." Lu Li smiled and said, "Now that new housing has been built in several villages, I need you to go there in person to distribute housing books to those workers who don't have housing yet." Kaido was a little confused, "I can just let my subordinates do such a small thing, why do you need me to go there?" Lu Li was speechless after hearing this, thinking that Kaido really didn't know how to show off, but sometimes it was a necessary ability for those in power to show off. The country of Wano is now in dire straits, and its people have received substantial benefits. The only concern in their hearts now is that their ruler is the cruel pirate rumored to be. Although the general of Wano Country is Yamato, everyone knows whose daughter Yamato is. There is only one real top power in this country, and that is the Four Emperors Kaido. Kaido's cruelty and terror are well-known far and wide. As a pirate who can get the title of the Four Emperors, anyone would think that he must be a super terrifying and cruel person to have such a status in the pirate world. But this impression is not conducive to the long-term rule of Wano Country, so Lu Li needs to let the people change their impression of Kaido, just like many Wano people like Yamato and think Yamato is a good general. If Kaido can be recognized by the people as the protector of the country, then he will be very smooth in recruiting workers and soldiers in the future. Lu Li explained it to Kaido a little bit, and Kaido roughly understood it, and followed Lu Li dizzy. ………… The next morning, when the sun was shining, a large number of people gathered outside the new city area. Under Lu Li's advocacy, the factory has now changed to a two-day work mode, and today is the day the factory is closed. Kaido was reluctant to give the workers a holiday at first, but after Lu Li explained to him in detail the benefits of "relaxation and tension" for work efficiency, Kaido reluctantly agreed to give the workers a holiday. In front of the crowd of people, a temporary platform was built at the intersection of the new city main road to facilitate Lu Li and others to speak. Although the people below were very excited and couldn't wait to get their own houses, they still barely maintained order, without crowding to the platform or pushing around. It was not because there were still many soldiers nearby to maintain order, but also because they still remembered what kind of country they lived in and did not dare to make trouble. "Look, Lord Lu is here. He didn't lie to us. He really wants to give us a house!"
"God bless you, I'm finally going to have my own house, and it's not a wooden house. I should be able to live here for a long time." "I can't wait to move to the new house. My wife and children have been freezing outside for years. We can finally settle down." "Long live General Yamato, long live Lord Lu!" "..." Seeing Lu Li on stage, many people shouted excitedly. But the excitement didn't last long before they immediately quieted down. Because behind Lu Li, there was another tall figure walking up the steps. He changed his previous style today and wore a black haori from Wano Country. Even the wide haori couldn't hide his strong muscles, but compared to usual, he was already dressed very neatly. After this tall figure came on stage, all the people shut up. There was still a faint panic in the scene, and it continued to ferment. Because they all recognized who this was. This tall man was the pirate who broke through the gate of Wano Country, the Four Emperors Kaido. "Everyone, please be patient. I believe everyone has recognized him. This is our protector of the country, Mr. Kaido." Lu Li stepped forward and said, "This time, the housing construction and distribution plan was done according to Mr. Kaido's instructions. Now that the housing is built, the first day of distribution will naturally be done by Mr. Kaido. It is a historical commemoration." Kaido stood beside Lu Li, his tall figure was very silent, with a stern face and no words. In fact, he was silently reciting the words that Lu Li had taught him in advance. "Now, please let Mr. Kaido say a few words." Lu Li said, and then took a step back. All the people at the scene turned their eyes to Kaido after hearing this, but most of them lowered their heads within two seconds. They really thought Kaido was too scary. It's not that he looks scary, but that the other party has a fierce reputation and carries a heavy majesty. It's difficult for ordinary people to have the courage to look directly at him. Kaido saw the situation on the scene and secretly sighed that Lu Li was simply amazing. He had even anticipated such a scene, so he spoke according to the words they had agreed on in advance: "Everyone, raise your heads." He tried to speak in a gentle voice, but his deep voice still made the people in the front row numb. "Why are you so afraid of me? ... Is it because I am a notorious pirate? Or because I broke through the gate of this country?" Kaido actually couldn't memorize too long a sentence. He was about to get stuck when he said the second sentence. Fortunately, Lu Li stood behind Kaido and whispered a reminder. Anyway, Kaido's huge body was just enough to cover him. "But think back, who has ruled this country for more than ten years? Who invited me to this country?" Kaido's voice was deep and penetrating, so that people one kilometer away could hear it clearly, "I was looking for a place to stay, so I never regarded myself as a general, nor did I interfere with the rule of Kurozumi Orochi, but you also know how Kurozumi Orochi has ravaged this country over the years." At this point, many people present gritted their teeth and showed anger on their faces, and they really hated Kurozumi Orochi. "I am indeed a pirate, and even made a name for myself as one of the Four Emperors in this new world, and reigned over this sea with absolute power, but even I can't stand Kurozumi Orochi's behavior." At this point, Kaido's expression was weird, because he didn't really stand Kurozumi Orochi's behavior, but Lu Li asked him to say so, so he could only endure the awkwardness and continue to read the script. "I was also born in a poor country. I have been oppressed and have seen too many oppressed people. My heart told me that I could no longer sit idly by, so I overthrew the rule of the snake and decided to step forward to truly liberate this country so that everyone can live a happy life."
Accompanying Kaido's words, the people of Xudu all raised their heads and began to look at the legendary Ming Wang. They are all ordinary people who don't understand too many twists and turns of the upper class. Many people also met Kaido for the first time. Originally, I thought Kaido was a fierce and cruel person, but now it seems that the other party seems to be not bad.
