The girls had just arrived in this town, and before they had enough to shop, they could only reluctantly take their booty and embark on a new journey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I heard that this trip was only one day, and it was really good news.

The townspeople, especially the children, were still leaning on the windows, their hands on their red faces, watching the convoy move in the direction of Gdansk.

"They're really rich. ”

"What is this, when I grow up, I must be richer than them!"

This is the dialogue between two young children.

The fox skins and roast geese in the town were "looted", and Santiago bought a dozen roast geese alone, and he loved this delicious delicacy to death.

Just as the convoy was about to depart, the mayor of the town led a group of people in front of them, with hesitant eyes, as if they were begging for something.

Zheng Fei had seen too many such eyes, and he guessed in his heart that these people were probably wanting money.

"Is there anything wrong?" he asked, smiling as kindly as he could.

The mayor, who was over seventy years old, looked at the townspeople around him for a few moments, took a deep breath and held it, hesitated for a moment, and squeezed out a sneer that should not belong to his age.

"Excuse me, what do you do?"

"Me...... Seafarer. Zheng Fei was at a loss for the time being, not knowing what the other party was going to say.

"Navigator?" the mayor furrowed his brow in confusion, "but why do you use a car instead of a boat?"

"It's a long story, and I can't tell it for a while...... What are you asking all this for?"

The mayor lifted his cane and stared at him cautiously, fearing that he would say the wrong thing.

"I just heard that your wife is the daughter of a certain duke. ”

Zheng Fei's eyebrows raised slightly, surprised by the ability of the people in the town to spread the news.

"Yes. ”

"Then you must be a man of status and prestige, and I would like to ask you to do our town a favor. The mayor hung his head and said in a pleading tone.

"Tell me about it. Zheng Fei would not rashly agree.

"These are all adult men in our town, they don't want to stay here for the rest of their lives, they want to go out and work hard, but the price of Gdansk is too expensive, and it is too difficult to live there, so ......" Speaking of this, the mayor hesitated, and a sentence was blocked in his throat, and he didn't come out for a long time.

"So you want me to take them out, don't you?" Zheng Fei said for him.

"Yes!" the mayor's eyes lit up, and he was excited.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Fei shook his head.

"But I'm not a philanthropist, I don't support idlers, they have to at least know something, at least have a strong body. ”

He glanced at the group, probably due to the lack of material conditions in the town, most of them were very thin, and any porter at the dock was better than them.

His words caused hundreds of adult men behind the mayor to look at each other, and in their humiliation, they secretly looked at the Spartan warriors standing on both sides of the convoy, but their strong bodies and spirit of fearless cold made them feel ashamed.

Mayor Mare looks anxious, desperate to find out what skills an adult man possesses.

"Do you need a hunter then?"

"I have the best hunters. ”

When it comes to hunting, the Native Americans are connoisseurs of connoisseurs.

"Where's the coolies?"

Zheng Fei smiled and gave him a look so that he could understand it himself.

The mayor rolled his eyes, clutched the last bit of hope, and sighed.

"That'...... What about the farmer?"

Farmer~

Zheng Fei had never considered this profession, but now that he was reminded of this, he realized that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Americas, a farmer was indispensable.

Food is the sky, the foundation of all things.

The people who were going to the Americas, plus the Spartan warriors, the sailors newly recruited in Istanbul, the people who had fled, and so on, numbered about 8,000.

Eight thousand, this number does not sound like a lot, but in reality, it is a staggering number.

If there were no farmers, it would be a problem for people to eat.

When I first went to the Americas, due to the relatively small number of people, the food I ate was brought from the European continent and the Azores, and then I collected some fruits and wild vegetables, hunted, and the food was all ready.

But now, the number of people has increased several times, and if you want to settle down for a long time, it is obviously impossible to bring food with you, so you need farmers to grow it.

Only a small percentage of the sailors in the fleet were once farmers, and the rest knew nothing about farming, but this town made a living from agriculture, and the townspeople were all first-class farmers, special farmers.

These people happen to fill the vacancy in the profession.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fei smiled and looked at the mayor.

"But if you come with me, you may have to suffer. ”

"My great lads are not afraid of hardship, as long as they can make more money. The mayor's gaze was extremely determined, as did the group of young men behind him.

"And what do you expect to get?"

When it comes to substantive issues, the scene is frozen for a moment.

After a whispered discussion with the people, the mayor tentatively said, "Every year...... Is twenty silver coins okay?"

"Oh my God!" Santiago exclaimed, his half-nibbled goose leg hovering over his lips and staring at the mayor in a daze.

Like many sailors in the fleet, San Diego's most down-and-out years were spent working as a sailor on the docks, earning sixty silver coins a year in an ordinary town like Atlanta.

Twenty silver coins per year, what a cheap labor force?

"Yes!"

Zheng Fei immediately responded, laughed involuntarily, and instructed the people around him to bring a large box and put it in front of the mayor.

"There are 20,000 silver coins in it, which is considered an advance payment for the first two years. ”

The lid of the box was open, and the silver coins lying in it exuded an alluring glow of wealth, seducing the eyes of the mayor and the lads, who did not want to leave for a moment.

They had never seen so much money in their lives, and I am afraid that the entire town did not add up to that much silver.

The townsfolk on the side of the street also stopped, stared at the large box of silver coins for a moment, and immediately ran home, to inform their husbands or sons to follow suit.

"Don't be stunned, go back and pack your things, we're ready to go. Zheng Fei said to the young men in a daze.

Without a moment's hesitation, the young men each received forty silver coins, ran home with the money and handed them to their families, picked up a few pieces of clothing, wrapped them, and quickly returned to assemble.

Leaving the town and marching through the endless fields, the earth is a mesmerald green, and in the farthest places, where the blue of the sky meets, it is there that the setting sun is pouring its last rays of light on the earth.

Nearing one’s end.

Straddled the saddle, Zheng Fei wrapped his fur coat tightly to resist the cold wind, it would be very cold at night, but he didn't want to go back to the carriage to sleep, so he brought two pots of wine with him to warm up, enough to drink at dawn.

"Actually, you don't have to be outside, why don't you get into the carriage, it's not only warm there, but also beautiful women waiting for you. Brad was babbling next to him, which was unusual because Brad cared very little about other people's business.

"I'm not used to car shocks. Zheng Fei replied casually.

"What does a car shock mean?"

"Well, that's it...... The carriage was too bumpy and uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
