A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 294 Fang Family Navy's Tyrant of Southeast Asia
November 1? Sunny

Leave Macau.

The moment he confirmed his departure, Fang Xian felt that he had been cheated.

The sea in the eyes of people on the shore is so clear.

But as soon as you enter the sailing state, the screen immediately turns into a coding situation with a resolution of 400X300. In the cab, you can directly issue commands such as direction and sail direction, and time flows quickly.

The first destination of this trip is the port of Giadin in Southeast Asia.

In the game world, Southeast Asia has been reduced to the world of European colonists, but there is enough space for players on the route.There are two major chambers of commerce in Southeast Asia, Kuhn and Preyla, which belong to the Netherlands and Portugal respectively.

It is actually not difficult to suddenly appear under the noses of these two middle-aged people.

The two main areas of activity are in the southwestern region of Southeast Asia, with Malacca and Jakarta as bases for trade respectively. For the time being, they have no interest in the large Indonesian and Malay ports in the northwest.After all, the degree of development over there is too low, and only some agricultural products can be produced, not to mention the economic consumption capacity.

Therefore, seizing many ports with low productivity at a low price and entering a virtuous cycle of investment-trade-development is the way to survive today.

The people who were full of anticipation before saw this scumbag seascape and felt very sick. They could only play with the mast and sail, which undoubtedly increased the sailing time.

It is not a short journey from Macau to the Indochina Peninsula (Indochina). Fortunately, surveyor Zhang Dashun, a veteran navigator, was present. The former deputy platoon leader is generally useless, but his ability to measure navigation is acceptable, with more than 70 points. Although the measurement attribute is not enough to be qualified for the job of a surveyor, it can point out the general direction and guide everyone how to adjust the sail.

Zhang Dashun worked very hard. He knew deeply that if he didn't work hard with a group of guys who had never been on a boat before sailing across the sea, he might never see land again.

After more than 20 days of sailing, good news finally came from the observatory. It seems that a grainy shit-yellow city appeared not far away.The long-term voyage has raised everyone's level, and their respective professional fields have gradually become more prominent. It's hard to say anything else, at least Su Mei can sleep on the ground bunk on the observation deck.

January 1? Sunny? Giadin called at the port.

After a hasty landing, the scene in front of me finally returned to 1080P high-definition uncensored. It was early in the morning, and there were only some hard-working fishermen in the port of Giadin preparing to go to sea.A large fleet of sailboats suddenly appeared in front of them, which surprised the locals, and even the boys at the dock were stunned for a long time.

Fang Xian and his party were quite vigorous in their skills. They jumped off the boat and turned over when they got on the boat. They basically didn't need to use auxiliary tools. They were already stretching on the trestle when the boys at the pier were still building the ladder.

Of course, Yuyan's dexterity skills were mediocre, so Captain Fang had no choice but to help her down, which also gave him a chance to take advantage of the girl.

Yue Ru is upset, and it's not easy to have a fit, as long as Fang Xian hugs Zhang Dashun down by the way.

If you come out to run, you have to pay it back, and the process of hugging Zhang Dashun will not be talked about.

"My friend, help me refill the food and water." Fang Xian patted the guy on the pier. The feeling of traveling around the world in a few minutes is not bad.

"Okay sir..." The young man mumly agreed, and after some calculations, "it will cost about 526 gold coins."

Before Fang could speak, Yu Yan transferred 550 gold coins over: "There's no need to look for it, please bring more meat and wine."

The young man was delighted to receive the gold coin. Although those yellow-haired lords were rich, they were stingy with their hands. It would be good if they didn't bargain. I didn't expect these distinguished guests from the north to bring tips.

Fang Xian rushed to the boat and shouted: "Everyone gets 10 gold coins and goes ashore to play, rest for 10 days!"

A group of sailors were also overjoyed. Now they have all cut off their braids and put on the serious service of serious merchant sailors, but they still rushed down the ladder with a sense of rage, received the gold coins, and thanked the admiral, the proprietress, So he ran to the city and began to look for some strange places.

"10 gold coins..." The boy on the pier showed all kinds of envy in his eyes, the admiral was too generous.

Fang Xian took a look at this naive guy. He was a thin, black-haired guy with a dark complexion and a standard Vietnamese or Thai appearance.

As a newcomer, Fang Xian just wanted to throw stones to ask the way, so he asked, "Little brother, which country is this?"

The young man replied without thinking, "This is Southeast Asia!"

"..." Fang Xian was dumbfounded. The old man's elaborate carvings are all deceitful. The whole of Southeast Asia seems to be unified, but he still decided to ask one more question, "Which country is the governor here now?"

The young man answered again in seconds: "Westerners!"

"...Okay, thank you..." Fang Xian was helpless, this is a game bounded by the sea.

Fang Xian looked around again. Most of them were local workers. Occasionally, one or two guys wearing Western clothes passed by, and they couldn't help but take a second look at the fleet. After all, Chinese sailing ships were too stylish and they had never seen them before.

Afterwards, Admiral Fang sent a few ladies to the city to play with a few gold coins, while he took his right hand and right arm, both civil and military, and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

The governor's mansions in various places are similar, and even the appearance of the governor is surprisingly consistent.

The governor of this place is a "Westerner" wearing a nautical cap and a white hood. Hearing that someone is finally coming to invest, he is delighted.

He gratefully held the hands of the Eastern captain.

"How much do you want to invest!"

Fang Xian was also unambiguous, and his eyes widened: "20 copies! Full investment!"

"Well, you are ambitious and worthy of admiration!"

Fang Xian felt that this praise seemed familiar, and it seemed that he copied the lines of the game out of no sense.

In the Era of Great Voyage IV, to trade in the port, you need to sign a contract with the governor's office/county magistrate/king to invest. Each investment will increase the port share by 1%. The higher the share, the more goods that can be traded .With the increase of the investment amount, the productivity of the port will also be developed, and new goods and ships can be developed. When the occupancy rate reaches 100%, the port will become the exclusive port of the investment force, and other forces cannot trade here. The port will also pay a certain amount of tax to the monopoly power every month, which basically means the same thing as colonization.In the game, the concept of a country is downplayed. It can be understood that a power is a country, so the Fang family's navy must have a high starting point, and muddle along to complete the great cause that was not completed in the Three Kingdoms world.

As for how much it costs to invest, it is only related to the development and armament of the port, which is about 10 times the value.The port development degree/armament degree ranges from 1 to 9999, so a maximum of 10W is a minimum of 10.

Ji'adin is a relatively backward place, with armament and development of 500 and 400 respectively. Even if you invest 20 copies, it only costs [-] gold coins.

If Fang Xian thinks about it, he can directly throw another 8 to become the overlord of this place, but that way the living money will be too little, and signing contracts with other ports will be limited. Now it is more appropriate to save some capital to trade back and forth with interest. .

After the signing was completed, the governor finally returned to normal thinking and began to ask some questions that should have been asked long ago.

"Your Excellencies, are you Japanese businessmen?"

Before Fang could speak, Zuo Fatty Zhang Dashun was already furious: "Absurd! Don't confuse me as a sailor with Japanese pirates!"

The governor was very embarrassed when he saw this, and only pointed to his pure white curly braid.

Only then did Zhang Dashun realize that everyone had their whips cut off, no wonder they were recognized as Japanese.Thinking of this, it was embarrassing for him again. Following Captain Fang was considered treasonous, and now he is homeless, what kind of country do he belong to?
"The governor can just call us Chinese merchants." Fang Xian pondered for a while, and decided on a title that was neither painful nor itchy.

The governor understood and said with a smile: "I can't blame you. The government over there has closed the country and restricted private foreign trade. If you want to make money, that's the only way to go."

Fang Xian was startled: "Master, did you study economics! What a professional vocabulary!"

The governor smiled humbly, feeling that these orientals were very open-minded, not as pedantic as he was in the impression, and he gradually developed a good impression in his heart, so he said quietly: "Although our skin colors are different, I still admire the courage of your lordship. If it's later, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out."

Fang Xian listened to the governor's words, pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "The governor's meaning is..."

The governor covered his mouth, meaning that he was talking too much, and then he had a "you know" expression.

In fact, if you don't say this, everyone knows it well.Europeans set out from the Mediterranean, colonized Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia all the way, so it goes without saying where the next destination will be.

"May I ask which country the Governor-General is from?"

"I'm a Westerner."

"...Okay." Fang Xian had already replaced "Westerners" with "European Union" at this time.

Zhang Dashun was very dishonest. He had followed Zheng He and had been in the Fujian Navy in the early days. This fat man was also someone he had met before, and he was very confident in the navy's combat power.

"My lord governor, if you want me to see, that's all for you." Zhang Dashun uncharacteristically showed an aura of praising our country, "Our Fujian Navy has 26 large ships, 50 artillery pieces, and thousands of officers and soldiers. Yu Ming is different from the navy in these barbaric lands."

When the governor saw this, his face was full of embarrassment.

"Your Excellency, I'm just a local governor, responsible for managing the port. I don't have much thought about invasion and colonization. I also treat investors of all colors equally. Let's not talk about these things."

Fang Xian nodded, this governor can be regarded as a wonderful flower, without the pretensions of "Westerners" and not involved in those war affairs, it is really rare.

Before saying goodbye, Fang Xian remembered something and took out a few oysters from his pocket.

Before he could ask, the Governor was as horny as a bar girl.

"Ah! That... that's... oysters? For me?..."

“……………………………………………” Fang Xianpu sweats, isn’t this the classic line of a bar girl blackmailing gifts, Governor, you can’t do this, Governor.

Fang Xian was going to ask about the market of oysters, but he didn't expect the governor to be arrogant. Since he is so hungry and thirsty, he should give it...

"Here...don't look at me like this..." Fang Xian hurriedly threw the thing to the governor.
