His father, Narita Ujō, had become one of the beneficiaries of the colonization. A large number of people were rescued from hunger and cold by the great Narita-sama and sent (sold) to the warm Southeast Asia, where they lived a happy and prosperous life. Narita-sama only took a small "shipping fee".
Looking at Kaihime, whose eyes were sparkling like jewels, Qin Mo decided to show him another, faster way to get rich.
"Kai, once we've settled down at the port, I'll take you on a trip to the west, and you'll understand why this is such a great place to make money."

"Oh!... But Your Highness, what if they don't pay 'protection money'? Are we just going to rob them?"
"No, no, no, we are civilized people, how can we openly rob you? Let me teach you, you lower our flag, make the warships all black, then have the crew dressed in rags, and shout a slogan, that'll look like you're collecting 'protection money'."
"Your Highness, what kind of slogan is it?"
"Listen up, fat sheep, stop your boats immediately and be robbed!"
