While Tim was lowering his head and thinking, an extremely rough voice rang in his ear: "Where is that businessman?"

After hearing this voice, Tim looked up and saw a big, shirtless man walking towards him.

"You are that businessman, right? Hello, hello!" When the strong man saw Tim get up and saw that he was dressed well, he hurriedly walked to Tim and bowed his fists: "I'm Sui Haoren, how dare you ask your name?"

"Tim." Tim also bowed: "Did the general come from the Ming Dynasty?"

"No, we came from the Yuan Dynasty." Sui Haoren shook his head and replied: "You should know that when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, the Mongols cruelly exploited us Han people. There was no way, and my ancestors escaped here in order to survive."

Tim understands: "So that's the case! Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, don't you consider going back?"

Sui Haoren smiled bitterly: "Of course we want to go back! But once we go back, our identity will become a commoner, and the status we have worked hard here will be gone, so we can only stay here!"

"Hmm? How dare you ask how you made a fortune?" Tim couldn't control his gossip: "Why do I feel that your soldiers seem to come from the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, we all came from the Ming Dynasty." Sui Haoren nodded immediately: "After coming here, the predecessor of the Malacca Dynasty was rebelling, so we joined his team. After the rebellion was successful, this island and the surrounding areas were divided into us, and the original people of us mainly lived here, after all, those indigenous people were more opposed to us."

After hearing these words, Tim finally understood why there were so many Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore in the 21st century. It turned out that they all came to Southeast Asia at this time.

"Are you also from the Central Plains? I see that you speak well in your official language." Sui Haoren asked tentatively.

"Uh." Tim realized at this moment that he had already used Central Plains Mandarin when communicating with Sui Haoren.

"How to say it? To a certain extent, I am also from the Central Plains. After all, it takes a long time to master the Central Plains Mandarin." Tim smiled bitterly, not knowing how to introduce his identity.

"From your accent, your Central Plains Mandarin is quite weathered! But from your appearance..." Sui Haoren looked at Tim a few more times: "You are more like a native of the Qin Dynasty."

"The Qin Dynasty has long been destroyed! And my appearance doesn't matter, what's important is that I am really from the Central Plains." Tim waved his hand to explain.

Sui Haoren was entangled in Tim's appearance and Tim's accent for a long time, and finally chose to believe in his identity as a Central Plains man, but this Central Plains man was too unique.

"By the way, do you control this island?" Tim asked softly after pulling Sui Haoren to a hidden place.

"What are you going to do?" Sui Haoren immediately became nervous: "I think you have brought a lot of troops and troops to come this time. Could it be that you want to occupy my territory?"

"Look at what you said, since we are all from Central Plains, how could I hurt my compatriots?" Tim signaled him to relax: "And to be honest, my territory is much larger than here, how could it be snatched!"

"Then what is your purpose?" The tension in Sui Haoren's eyes remained undiminished.

"I need a port that can provide trade protection for our country." Tim said directly: "If this place was controlled by the Malacca people, then I would attack this place without hesitation, but now you control it, then I would not attack this island."

After hearing Tim's words, Sui Haoren breathed a sigh of relief and his whole mental state relaxed, but before he could completely relax, Tim's next words made him feel extremely nervous.

"I wonder if you have the intention to cooperate with me?" Looking at Sui Haoren, Tim suddenly suggested.

"How to cooperate?" Sui Haoren was stunned.

"Do you want to be an emperor? The emperor of this country?" Tim whispered in his ear: "As long as you want, I can help you become the emperor of the Kingdom of Malacca."

After hearing Tim's words, Sui Haoren's breathing was rapid and his whole body was trembling violently. After a long time, he said: "Don't say such a ruthless word. I have a good relationship with Your Majesty. No one can instigate the relationship between our monarch and minister."

Tim smiled and said, "Oh? Really? Since you don't want to, I'll go to other places. I believe there are many people in the Central Plains here. I will help them by then. Anyway, you are not the only one who owns the territory."

Seeing that Tim was leaving, Sui Haoren grabbed his sleeve and said hurriedly: "You really want to help me? Isn't it really a spy?"

"How could I be a spy? In a word, do you want to be an emperor? Get it happier."

"Of course I think that if I become the emperor, then our companions in the Central Plains will no longer have to hide here and continue to live a poor life." Sui Haoren's words were about understanding the righteousness.

After hearing what he said, Tim sneered. He obviously wanted to be the emperor, but he really would make excuses for himself.

"No problem, I can help you, but you are embarrassed to let me help you for free." Tim smiled slightly and opened the distance: "Although we are all from Central Plains, brothers can settle the score clearly. You should understand this principle."

"This is for sure, I don't know how you want me to repay you?" Sui Haoren answered quickly.

Tim nodded with satisfaction: "My requirements are very low. After you become emperor, you must agree to my following requirements."

"First, open ports across the country, allow my merchants to buy and sell freely here, and allow us to use ports. We will not give a penny less to the use of the port; second, the goods of the entire country are no longer allowed to be supplied to those Arabs, but can only be supplied to us. Of course, we will trade according to the price; third, ced the island of Singapore, that is, this island, to me."

After saying that, Tim looked at him: "Can you accept this condition?"

"The first two conditions are fine, is the third condition!" Sui Haoren hesitated: "You really only need this island? You really won't want any other place?"

"Of course, I only want this Singapore Island, and I don't want other places." Tim said affirmatively.

As long as you control Singapore, it is equivalent to controlling the Strait of Malacca. So it is enough to have one Singapore at present. If you want more places, you have to spend more money to develop them, which is a loss-making business.
