In fact, it is really not much trouble to take care of those lepers, perhaps because they know that they have been abandoned by human society, and those lepers have a serious inferiority complex, when they first arrived on Molokai Island, those lepers had a serious conflict with the aborigines of the island, or because of the reconciliation of Father Damien, those lepers can live in harmony with the aborigines of the island.
After all these years, there are few aborigines left on the island, and the lepers have lost the strength to toss, and they rarely appear outside the Kalaupapa Peninsula on a daily basis, and they have little contact with outsiders except for Father Damien.
Li Mu wants to get Father Damien to Boston to preside over the biological laboratory, so he needs someone to take over Father Damien's work, not to mention continuing to research and treat leprosy patients, at least to help those leprosy patients frequently, so that they will not starve to death.
It's the best thing for Benjamin to do.
Benjamin is determined to make a career in the political arena, and if he wants to gain greater support, it is not enough to have political achievements, but also to convince others that Benjamin has a noble heart and a compassionate heart, so as to get more political points.
From Li Mu's point of view, it is not without benefit to do this.
Molokai is a huge island with an area of 260 square miles, about 670 square kilometers, and it is a great waste to know that Molokai is not without merit, the unique black sand beach is wonderful, the island also has the world's highest sea cliffs, the longest waterfall in Hawaii and the largest white sand beach.
If it is moderately developed, it is another world-famous scenic spot.
In the original history, Molokai Island was forgotten by the world in the Hawaiian construction wave from the 60s to the 70s of the 20th century because of the presence of lepers, and it was not until the 90s of the 20th century that Molokai Island was moderately developed, and since then it has been known for its unpolluted original features.
Well, the so-called "unpolluted pristine features" can also be understood as a serious underdevelopment, but this does not negate the development potential of Molokai Island.
Li Mu definitely didn't come to Hawaii to help in vain, and if the Kingdom of Hawaii became the Hawaiian State of the United States, Li Mu would have no room to intervene, so what Li Mu had to do was to turn Molokai Island into his own private territory in the shortest possible time, so that even if the Kingdom of Hawaii was annexed by the United States in the future, the U.S. government would recognize Li Mu's ownership.
If you don't admit it, Li Mu has votes in his hands, and this is Li Mu's biggest reliance.
Father Damien did not immediately agree to Li Mu's suggestion, but Li Mu was not in a hurry, and returned to the camp to see the sky and ride a horse with Benjamin, or to watch Ford Benjamin's training, or to go out to sea in a boat to catch a fish or something, and have a lot of fun.
On the twentieth, the "Sea Hussars" arrived on Molokai Island, and a large number of household supplies were sent with the ship.
Li Mu ordered people to carry these living materials on their backs and continue to find Father Damien.
"This is" Goodbye Li Mu, Father Damien had a complicated expression.
Since Li Mu visited Father Damien's "church", Father Damien has not gone to the temporary camp to protest again, and it is estimated that Father Damien also knows that such a painless protest will not have any effect, and Father Damien has been disturbed by Li Mu's words, and his mind has flown to Boston.
No matter how noble people are, they have weaknesses, if they can realize their personal value in the process of realizing social value, then it is the best, the pursuit of ideals is of course a good thing, no one wants to eat hungry and have no next meal to pursue ideals, Father Damien also wants to see what the "electric light" and "telephone" in Li Mu's mouth are.
"What I sent to those lepers was just some clothes and daily necessities, and the food had to be left to them to figure out by themselves, and I would send poultry and livestock after a while, and since taro could be grown here, there would be no shortage of fodder, and as long as there were plenty of non-staple foods, living here would be no different from living in Honolulu."
Li Mu said brightly.
It is said that there is no difference, but in fact the difference is big.
However, there should be no lepers who will complain, as Li Mu said, they are all abandoned by God and are not qualified to complain.
"Thank you, you are indeed better suited to take care of them than I am."
Father Damien had to agree that although money is not everything, no money is absolutely impossible.
"It's not me who takes care of it, it's Mr.
Benjamin Harrison, these supplies are all donated by Mr.
Benjamin Harrison, I just got these things by hand."
Li Mu introduced Benjie in a timely manner.
The main thing is to introduce Benjamin's surname, so Li Mu emphasized it twice in a row.
Benjamin now knew that leprosy was not so terrible, so he was much less afraid, and the smile on his face was even more sincere: "To tell you the truth, Father Damien, I want to pay tribute to you, I can't believe it when I hear Rim talk about you, thank you for your efforts, you make me believe that the world is still full of beauty." ” "Mr.
Harrison, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Father Damien was courteous.
The Harrison family is indeed a prestigious family, and if you know a little about American politics, you will know what the Harrison family means, so Father Damien will be more gentlemanly than a gentleman.
"If you don't mind, I think I can help a little, I talked to Reem about leprosy, and now what we have to do is not just find a cure, prevention and isolation are more important, forgive me for saying that, but we have to think about the health of most people."
As soon as Benjamin opened his mouth, it was known that "the interests of the majority" were indeed a good excuse.
"You have a point, Mr.
Harrison, but we can't just give up on these poor people, they all have the right to live."
Damien was upset by Benjamin's tone.
"Nobody is going to give them up, that's why I'm here, you know, it's not a matter of one person, our goal is to make life as better for everyone as possible, but we're not a slave society with equal distribution."
Benjamin disagreed, and was equally determined.
"Okay, let's put that aside for now, it seems more important to get these things into the hands of those who need them most."
Li Mu didn't let them continue to fight, politicians and scientists, these two kinds of people are very slippery, let them tear down, and they can't say why they talk about next year.
"We don't need to send it personally, we just need to send it to the entrance of the Kalaupapa Peninsula, and they will take it themselves."
It seems that Father Damien was also apprehensive, and set aside an area for those who were suffering from leprosy.
"That's for the best."

Li Mu didn't want to take any chances, although the probability of leprosy infection was not high, it was not impossible.
After delivering the things, Li Mu and Father Damien returned to the church.
This time, the conversation was longer and more in-depth, and Li Mu introduced the Boston laboratory to Father Damien in detail, and introduced aspirin, sulfonamides, and penicillin to Father Damien.
This success aroused the interest of Father Damien, although Father Damien did not agree to work in the laboratory of the Horse Group, but Li Mu felt that success was not far away, so Li Mu returned directly to Honolulu.
Boarding the "Sea Hussars", Benjamin was immediately taken aback when he heard Li Mu talk about his plan: "You mean, you are going to see Kalakaua and then buy Molokai Island" Kalakaua was chosen by Washington, and the main task of Michael and Benjamin's trip was to ensure that Kalakaua became king of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
In the last election, Kalakaua was Nunalino's opponent, but Kalakaua fell short and failed to be elected king of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Of course, after a failure, Kalakaua had fully realized that without Washington's nod and consent, Kalakaua probably wouldn't be able to do so, so after Nunalino's death last year, Kalakaua went to Washington alone and expressed his thoughts to Ulysses Grant in person, which successfully won Washington's support.
Winning Washington's support does not mean that Kalakaua will accept all of Washington's demands, and it is estimated that Kalakaua would not have agreed to Washington's demands if he had known that Washington was playing with the idea of annexing the Kingdom of Hawaii.
This is the meaning of Li Mu's existence, Li Mu will use Kalakaua to fight the stubborn forces in the Hawaiian Kingdom, and then set up Kalakaua, and finally complete the referendum, when Kalakaua does not agree to the United States annexation of Hawaii, he will pinch his nose and admit the referendum results.
When it comes to referendums, as long as they go so far, there is no chance of failure.
As early as the fifties and sixties of the nineteenth century, when it was still the reign of Kamehameha IV, Hawaii because of the backward medical conditions, coupled with a variety of diseases raging, so the native Hawaiians faced extinction, after Kamehameha IV succeeded to the throne, in 1860, Kamehameha IV established the Seamen's House and the Queen's Hospital in Honolulu to provide free medical care for Hawaiians and half of the Hawaiian blood, and in order to curb the power of the Americans, Cammehameha IV introduced the Anglican Church to establish a foothold on the island, Impatient with the extreme restraint of the American missionaries, and therefore suspicious of American merchants, King Kamehameha IV gradually removed all Americans from the cabinet.
Of course, the Americans would not let such a disobedient king go, so in 1862, the only son of King Kamehameha IV, Prince Quakioli, died of illness, and King Kamehameha IV ceased to be concerned with state affairs.
Of course, in the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Prince Quakioli's death certainly had nothing to do with the Americans, but that's the case No one can tell
