A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 297 The Legendary Pirate
"Shopkeeper, what kind of goods are there in the exchange?" Fang Xian obviously didn't care about the shopkeeper's mood, and asked straight to the point.

The shopkeeper was a little ashamed: "Master Admiral, this place only produces [rice], but the quantity is acceptable. Now we can sell 35 warehouses. If the admiral is willing to make commercial investment, I don't think it will cost much money. We can develop New cargo."

"I have already invested a sum with the Governor, and he will give you some later." Fang Xian casually called a few sailors, "Please tell the shopkeeper to take them to the exchange, I want to buy a full warehouse of goods. "

The shopkeeper had mixed feelings at this time. The happy thing was that these goods could finally be sold to make money, but the worrying thing was that the admiral didn't seem to have any intention of investing.

"Okay, 25 warehouses [rice], a total of 13121 gold coins."

When Yu Yan was not there, Fang Xian only had to transfer the gold coins in person. Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little frustrated, he persuaded him casually: "Treasurer, the Fang family navy plans to develop in Southeast Asia for a long time. When we gain a firm foothold here, we will definitely For additional investment, please rest assured the shopkeeper."

"Oh? Develop here?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but it was right to think about it. If it was an ocean-going merchant, this fleet could definitely pull the goods to Europe before selling them, and there was no need to bribe in such a small place.

The shopkeeper had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and Kuhn or Preyla to go north to develop and bring vitality to this small port, but the Portuguese and the Dutch were obviously only interested in the big cities on the other side of the Strait of Malacca, and did not There is no intention of expanding investment here.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, a Chinese businessman came.

The shopkeeper made up his mind in an instant - he hugged his thigh decisively.

"Admiral, please allow me to ask one more question." The shopkeeper showed a shrewd look in his eyes, "Where do you plan to stay next?"

"Is there any need to ask? No one is staying anywhere, and I don't want to collide with other forces for the time being."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "What a great admiral, if you can bring the business in Indochina alive, everyone will thank you."

"This...isn't that great, it's just making money."

"The admiral is humble." The shopkeeper decisively took out an envelope from his pocket, "Please take this with you."

"This is?"

"It's a letter of introduction, Lord Admiral." The shopkeeper smiled. "The southern port of Brunei can be used. You submit this to the local governor, and he will be happy to give you some of the port's share."

"Can it be used elsewhere?"

"..."

"You're kidding." Fang Xian smiled, "Brunei, right? We'll go there right away after the sailors have rested."

"I look forward to your return!" The shopkeeper was very excited, and then revealed some news, "Although [rice] is not a valuable commodity, there is no output in Brunei. I think the price of a warehouse of rice will increase there." Doubling is not a problem, and then the admiral can sell back the local pepper, which Giadin needs very much."

"Thank you shopkeeper 23 for reminding me, I will be back."

After getting the goods, Fang Xian continued to let the sailors leave, and at the same time let Zhang Dashun take Daerba around to see and see.

On the other hand, he took Yuyan to the hotel...

Well, the hotel is a very normal place. The lonely man and the widow were just discussing some strategies, inquiring about some information, and making some plans in the hotel. How could something strange happen?

In order for the sailors to replenish their energy, Fang Xian directly chose to rest for 10 days after the girls had had enough fun. The time advances in units of days and flies by.

During this time, some intelligence on Southeast Asia was also collected.

Kuhn and Preyla are still burying their heads in making money, accumulating capital, and wandering between several big ports in the south. At this time, Kuhn has three fleets, and Preyla has two, both in terms of combat capability and profitability. Everyone has a stable pressure.

According to estimates, Kuhn's assets should be more than 700 million gold coins, and Preyla's assets should be at least 400 million. The big chaebol's big fleet has a solid foundation.

In addition, there is a thing called [power value], which probably reflects the share of the power in the sea area.In this regard, the two sides are not even close, and they are both hovering around 700. As for the Fang family's navy... relying on the existence of Ji Adin, a proper 45, and a deposit of 7...

But these are nothing to be afraid of, what kind of headwinds have never been fought, [KOEI] The NPCs in the game are notoriously incompetent, don’t you see Mowing Wushuang, the story of Taige’s old age...

In this way, a large fleet pulled countless rice out of the port, the next stop - Brunei.

This time, everyone was familiar with it, the wind direction was smooth, and the sails were fully open. In only seven days, they followed the route and arrived at the port called Brunei on the southeast mainland.

After disembarking, Fang Xian discovered that the local customs and customs are all nonsense, and the whole Southeast Asia is a template. It is basically just changing the name of the character and using it directly!

This time Fang Xian also saved trouble, entered the governor's mansion and started chatting directly.

"Governor 24, hello, this is a letter of introduction from shopkeeper 23."

"Oh? So it was introduced by 23. No wonder you look so kind. I'll give you 5% share."

"Okay thanks and goodbye."

Fang Xian was not in the mood to talk nonsense with 24, and went directly to the exchange, where he spent two full investments, increasing the share of this port to 45%, and then sold rice at a price of 1102 and bought pepper at a price of 302.

After such a trip, he can only earn tens of thousands of gold coins, and there is no skill at all.However, there is no way around this. The golden shipping route is too far away from him. Originally, East Asia was doing well in trade, but he offended the powerful Fujian navy. Let’s just honestly make agricultural products here...

After resting in Brunei, he was not in a hurry to return to Jadin. After all, buying and selling commodities will affect the price. In a port, frequent purchase of a commodity will increase the purchase price. Similarly, frequent dumping of a product It will reduce the selling price, operate in circles within a reasonable range, and give the market time to balance itself is the long-term solution.

Furthermore, this is Southeast Asia, which is no different than Europe, so we still have to run away and bring the business to life before negotiating big deals.

Therefore, Admiral Fang set the third destination as Manila in the northeast corner of the Southeast Asian waters.

Going out to sea again, Fang Xian speeded up the time and handed over the steering to Zhang Dashun, and he was ready to go out and land. A day's sailing is only a matter of a few seconds.

He silently counted a few times in his mind, then stood on the deck looking at Su Mei on the observation deck, waiting for her to report that he found a lump of yellow granular city.

Sure enough, Su Mei fiddled with the telescope and shouted: "Godfather!"

"Don't get excited, it's not the first time, it's faster than expected."

"No, no... it's a pirate!! Strange square flag! When Brunei was docking in Hong Kong, someone said it was a big pirate!" Su Mei's expression wasn't surprise at all, but excitement, that kind of feeling that the world would not be chaotic. Excited, "Godfather, let's go and fight!"

"..." Fang Xian's face twitched, "Don't make trouble, there is a hairy pirate in such an honest place in Southeast Asia."

"Really! They've sailed sideways to prepare their cannons."

At the same time, the information pops up, the low-quality image is converted to high-definition, and the battle scene enters.

【Start a battle with the pirate Saeki. 】

"It's war!" Fang Xian hurriedly ran to the side of the boat to watch, and there was indeed a small boat not far away, crumbling in the waves.

Fang Xian rushed to the observation tower and asked, "Girl, how many ships are there on the opposite side?"

"One!"

"...This..." Fang Xian was speechless. Although the distance is still far away, according to the number of masts of the opponent's ship, it can be determined that the ship is not very good. It is probably an ordinary two-masted dhow, or even a medium-sized Chinese sailing ship. Not as good as the boat.

"He dares to be a pirate! How confident this person must be!" Fang Xian shook his head, probably recalling a number one person like Zuobo.

It seems that in the enhanced version, you can choose another protagonist, a Japanese man, a guy who takes revenge as his mission.It seems that other characters will encounter him in this sea area and be "forced" to kill him.

Fang Xian was too lazy to talk nonsense when dealing with such a stupid guy. He changed the subject and shouted to the sailors: "Young men! Change your clothes and become a pirate!!"

"Damn it! Boss!"

A group of honest guys suddenly became vicious again.

"The gunners are in place! The five ship branches smashed them!"

"Okay Boss!!" An old sailor responded immediately, and then turned around and came back, "But Boss! All our cannons have been sold, and the cannon warehouse is full of rice now?"

"...Here." Only then did Fang Xian realize that he was a Confucian businessman, and his role changed very quickly, "Go, show the white flag representing peace, let's negotiate!"

"........."

The Bright White Flag trick didn't seem to work very well. The shells from Zueber's side were still firing, but there were only two cannons and one ship on the opposite side, and the Fang family's fleet basically followed the opposite side without being hit.

After squirming for so long, the flagships of both sides have basically connected, and the captains of both sides can clearly see each other.

On the opposite boat, a fat Japanese man with long hair and a square face, dressed in a green robe, stared fiercely at this side with melancholy eyes.

Saeki's style proves that it is difficult to perfectly combine beauty and domineering, and finally creates a fat double-eyelid monster.

The boat on the opposite side seemed to have finished firing shells, Fang Xian was not in a hurry, and bowed from a distance: "My friend, did you make a mistake, do we have any grudges?"

The handsome and domineering man immediately shouted: "I, Xingtaro, specialize in punishing those unscrupulous merchants. I did not make a mistake. It was you Fang Xian who hit me!"

"Well, a nice boat, admirable and courageous."

"What did you say?"

"No..." Fang Xian asked again, "Why are you beating me? I'm in the agricultural products business and I want the villagers to have enough to eat. Is there a problem with that?"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know!" Saeki insisted, "On the surface you are a merchant of agricultural products, but in fact, what you are doing is human trafficking!!!"

"..."

"No more sophistry! They are right behind you!"

Fang Xian turned his head and saw a few ladies just leaving the warehouse.

Ling'er: "It's so noisy, what are you doing?"

Yueru: "A fight started? Daerba finds a hemp rope for Master Mistress!"

Yu Yan: “…………”
