Chapter 114: Purgatory-level happiness
Chapter 114 Purgatory Level Happiness
Smart people can see the world clearly.
It’s just that some people have the ability to see the world clearly, but they don’t have the ability to do things that match their vision.
Whether it was Zhang Mingliang or Liu Chuanli, they both came out of difficulties and difficulties. If Yun Zhao had not bought them forty kilograms of millet when the famine broke out that year, they would be a piece of meat that was seriously hungry.
Maybe among the people who eat them, there will be their parents.
Yushan Academy taught them very well and erased the harm they had on their young minds, so they were very happy normal people.
There is no distortion, no pervert, nor does it become cynical. It is just two people who grow up normally.
Leoni is not a girl who grew up in a normal family.
She may have witnessed her father killing her mother, and maybe... there are even worse things, so she is a little paranoid.
Who would love the profession of pirates immediately after seeing them?
Who would have a serious lady in a serene relationship with the pirates to hurt her father?
Who would like to torture people as a serious lady?
Leonie is it!
In recent years, she has long gone from a wealthy lady to a famous female pirate in Malacca. Her reputation for cunning and cruelty is second only to Han Xiufen.
She has the will of steel. When she was fighting at sea, her boat was about to capsize. She could still shoot the last shell to smash the enemy and then jump into the sea to escape.
She was as cunning as a fox, using her harmless and pretty appearance of human beings and animals to quietly accomplish things that Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli could not do no matter how hard they tried.
She was a qualified lieutenant, commanding more than 2,000 pirates, one iron-clad ship, and six schooners. She had almost experienced all the wars initiated by Han Xiufen in this sea area. She was the famous Poison Rose of the First Fleet.
She used her courage and loyalty to submit one satisfactory answer after another to Yun Zhao and the Lantian imperial court, so that in the Lantian imperial court, she could wear a representative certificate with her blonde hair, and walked into the conference hall with her head held high, expressing her loyalty and concern for the imperial court in fluent Chinese.
The captains in the Lantian imperial court were not so easy to get, but Leonie was one of the best.
And he is one of the few people among the lieutenants who are qualified to be promoted to generals.
From the lieutenant to the general in the Lantian imperial court, there are two different worlds.
The planting ground in the rain and fog looks beautiful, and the tear trees that Yun Zhao has high hopes for seemingly spreading their branches and leaves in the rain and fog.
Recoco finished drinking unknowingly, and Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli had no intention of discussing with Leoni about the management of slaves.
"As long as we do better than the British, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and even French."
Leonie held the cocoa cup and looked at the view for a long time, and said something inexplicably.
Zhang Mingliang smiled and said, "Fifty steps and hundreds of steps are no different for those slaves. You don't understand slaves."
Leonie looked at Zhang Mingliang and said, "You don't understand the slave."
Zhang Mingliang bowed unconvincedly and said, "Didn't ask for advice..."
Leonie said: "I exchanged a group of slaves with the Spanish on the other side of the Malacca River, and exchanged slaves who were not disciplined here for slaves who were not disciplined here.
You also saw that they performed very well, even if they were worn on chains, no one complained, and no one was complained.
If they can hold on for a month and don’t complain, I will untie the chains on them.”
Zhang Mingliang said in confusion: "Why are they so docile?"
Leonie said: "It's not wrong for us to be purgatory. The plantations of the British, Dutch, French, and Portuguese are hell. Purgatory is a place where souls are purified and redeemed for temporary punishment.
And hell is a place where the devil and the wicked suffer forever. In hell, the wicked will never see God, and will suffer fire and other pains with the devil, and they will never be able to receive God’s salvation.”
Zhang Mingliang sighed and said, "So, you exchanged healthy slaves with others for physically weak slaves. After these physically weak slaves suffered even more cruel things from the Spanish, they would feel like they would escape from the sky when they came to us, so they would no longer run away or resist?"
Leonie smiled and said, "This is your mistake. Under your command, they can still feel that they are alone. Since they are alone, they will fight, just want to fight for more power for themselves, and yearn for a better life.
Therefore, because of human nature, rebellions continue to appear here. Even if you use the means of killing, rebellions are still endless.
I handed over these human slaves to the Spanish, and then obtained the same number of slaves from the Spanish. Although these slaves were weak, they could survive from the Spanish until now, and they must be the strongest slaves.
As long as we don't deduct their food, they will quickly return to their former strong appearance.
Compared to the Spanish, we are paradise for these slaves who have adapted to jungle life. They have accepted their fate and have consciously regarded themselves as a tool.
In the future, even if they don’t need to supervise their workers, they will work hard and not be lazy. For these slaves, being able to eat a meal that can fill their stomachs after work every day is their greatest happiness.”
Liu Chuanli looked at Leoni in horror and said, "How did you find out this truth?"
Leonie wrapped her hands in front of her chest, looked at the direction of Java Island and said, "It was my intelligent father who discovered it. This was what he warned me at the dinner table. He also told me that happiness is relatively speaking.
People in hell look up at purgatory and think that being able to enter purgatory is a kind of happiness, while people in purgatory look up at heaven, thinking that only by entering heaven is the true happiness.
My dear father never gives people the same happiness as heaven. He believes that purgatory-level happiness can meet the expectations of most people in this world.
And the happiness of heaven is left to us nobles.
I don’t want the happiness of purgatory, I want to taste the taste of heaven. Zhang and Liu, you two have been living in heaven, so you don’t understand the thoughts of these people in hell, which is normal.
Whether it is hell or purgatory, people like me who are in purgatory should interpret it."
Zhang Mingliang pondered for a long time, suddenly raised his head, showed his brightest smile, and opened his arms and said, "Leoni, I want to hug you."
Leonie looked at Zhang Mingliang's clear eyes, opened her arms, and happily threw herself into Zhang Mingliang's arms. For the first time, she discovered that the heart of the man in front of her whom he looked down upon was actually very warm.
Zhang Mingliang hugged Leoni gently and said in her ear: "You have entered heaven."
Leonie said: "This is your paradise, not mine. My paradise needs to be found by myself."
Zhang Mingliang let go of Leoni's body and said, "I hope you find it as soon as possible."
The rainy season in Malacca has arrived, and it rains almost every day at this time. Even if it is on the sea, the smoky waves are vast and the rain is misty.
Han Xiufen sat alone in front of the window and carefully wiped the long knife that had just been greased with a piece of deer skin.
In such humid weather, if you don’t take care of your weapons frequently, when you go to the battlefield, the weapons will tell you what the outcome will be if you don’t care about your weapons.
Lu Tao, dressed in black, stood straight in front of the window, waiting for Han Xiufen's reply.
Han Xiufen finally wiped it, finished maintaining the long knife, took it back into the scabbard, then looked at the supervisory director of the First Fleet and said, "So, is the supervision work of Leonie finished?"
Lu Tao frowned and said, "It was not so fast at first, but Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli were willing to prove that Leonie was his own person, so I ended my supervision of Leonie in advance."
Han Xiufen laughed and said, "These two idiots were conquered by another woman."
Lu Tao said: "So, my comments in the evaluation of Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli are too credulous."
Han Xiufen smiled and said, "But it is such a person who trusts others too much, who is good."
Lu Tao's face twitched and said, "A good person does not mean he is a capable official."
Han Xiufen looked at Lu Tao and said word by word: "If a person like you makes a big mistake, I will chop off your head without hesitation. Even if a person like Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli makes a big mistake, as long as it is not a subjective reason, I will try every means to make up for his losses and reduce the punishment they may receive.
At the same time, Your Majesty will make the same choice as me.”
Lu Tao laughed and said, "General, that's my business. You don't have to worry about me. If I really make a big mistake, just behead my head. Your shelter and rescue are a great humiliation for me."
Han Xiufen nodded, thought for a moment and said to Lu Tao: "Let the three of them come back, I want to open up a new battlefield as soon as possible."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "The general is finally willing to march into Java Island?"
Han Xiufen sighed and said, "Leonie is undecided, I can't start the battle lightly."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "General Shi Lang's sixteen warships carried Mr. Qinglong's three thousand Marines. The last one would not think that Captain Leonie needed any effort to do in the middle."
Han Xiufen looked at Lu Tao coldly and said, "Get out!"
Lu Tao took a long breath and said, "You shouldn't scold me like this. I am an officer of the Supervision Department."
Han Xiufen raised his hand and slapped Lu Tao who was standing outside her window to the ground. He leaned over through the window and looked at Lu Tao who was about to fall into a coma and said, "Who gives you the courage to disobey my orders?"
Is it the unbeaten Han Lingshan?"
