Chapter 58: The Mighty Warrior (1)
On the other side of the barracks, Phoebe was thinking about things in her room. There was a knock on the door, and Phoebe frowned and said, "Who?"
Robert's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Phoebe, it's me, Robert. ”
It's Robert, what is he doing at such a late hour?Phoebe wondered, but still said, "Come in." ”
Robert walked in with a smirk, gave Phoebe a knightly salute, and said, "Mr. Phoebe, Luca Rossi has returned, and I have begun to remove him from the army, and he will never have a chance to become a nobleman again." ”
Hearing this, Phoebe's frowning brows soothed, laughed, and said, "Good job, but why did he only come back now, the vacation time should have long passed." ”
Robert said, "I don't know about that, but he came back with Anna and Massimo." ”
Phoebe was taken aback and said, "Anna Massimo Gallo's family?"
Robbette nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Phoebe continued, "Then did Anna and Massimo know about your departure from Lucca, did they stop you?"
Robert shook his head and said, "No, and Mr. Massimo has also ordered me to remove Luca from the military." ”
Phoebe said, "What did you say? Massimo asked you to do the same?"
"Yes," said Robert, "he asked me to do the same. ”
Phoebe listened, did not reply, fell into deep thought, Shaoqing, waved her hand, and said a little irritably: "Okay, it's okay, you go down." ”
Robert looked at Phoebe, gave another knightly salute, and turned and walked out the door.
At this time, Phoebe had a feeling of fidgeting, when did Massimo get acquainted with Luca? If Massimo took a fancy to Luca, why did he ask Robert to remove Luca's military membership? If Massimo offended by Luca, then why did they come back together?
Countless questions filled Phoebe's mind, and she couldn't figure it out.
No, this matter is strange, and I need to tell my father immediately to see how he handles it.
At that moment, Phoebe quickly stood up and walked towards her home, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
Massimo's character, like his swordsmanship, moved extremely fast, and the next day many craftsmen in Venice received news that the guild had issued a commission to recruit builders, five hundred, for three months, with a monthly honorarium of ten gold coins.
As soon as the news came out, the union was already crowded within an hour.
Regarding the construction of the base, when Nangong Yu told Massimo about his architectural idea, Massimo waved his hand very simply and directly took out 10,000 gold coins for recruiting workers and buying building materials, and all the worker arrangements were handed over to Anthony. All the original buildings were torn down, and the new buildings were built according to Nangong Yu's requirements, and an order was issued: regardless of the number of gold coins, it must be completed within three months.
As soon as he said this, Anthony was completely busy. The completion of such a huge project in three months seemed like a dream, and I had no choice but to continue to recruit people to save time.
Anthony was not ambiguous, directly hired several master builders to act as on-site conductors at a high price, and rented a few sailing ships from the union, and sailed directly to Ragusa with the workers.
According to Nangong Yu's original idea, as long as it is slightly renovated, it can barely be able to live in people, as long as the training is not delayed, it is just a base over there. But when he said this, Massimo and Anna objected at the same time, and there was no room for negotiation, on the grounds that we would often live there in the future, too simple to be used to.
When Nangong Yu heard this, he only rolled his eyes helplessly.
Jim's side wasn't much easier, and Venice and Ragusa had already gone back and forth twice in two days.
Chicken, duck, fish and other foods were piled up on the docks of the base, and the angry Anthony almost fought with him. Now all the building materials in the base have to be handled through the dock, which is already very tense, but as a result, Jim's food is all on the dock, which directly causes congestion.
And Rosa's arrival made Anthony almost faint on the ground, and the woman directly brought a whole shipload of all kinds of liquor, which was not allowed to make Massimo and Ana want to drink, and said that Ragusa's wine was really unpalatable.
As for the peppers in the base, Jim's abacus had already been made, and he didn't sell any of them, and kept them all for his own enjoyment.
You know, the price of pepper is now comparable to gold, and many countries are even waging wars for pepper.
I don't know how long Maxim saved up so much pepper, and later after being reminded by Rosa, this batch of pepper should have been hoarded by a merchant and wanted to sell it all at once, but it was stolen by Maxim, and it won't be too long.
Because the cellar was not ventilated and relatively humid, the peppers were plump and did not deteriorate. If it is collected little by little and placed in the cellar, it will long be inedible for a long time.
Marco was even more straightforward, asking Jim directly for five thousand gold coins. Jim's face twitched, and he asked Marco what he was going to do? Marco didn't hesitate to say that he needed to buy ship materials, but Jim was really reluctant to take out the gold coins, and under Rosa's lesson, Jim drooped his head and helped Marco pay for it.
Marco bought a lot of fine wood, steel, and all kinds of tools for shipbuilding, and likewise rented a boat, and headed straight for Ragusa.
When Rosa was in Ragusa before, she collected a lot of information about Ron's situation, and in the past few days, in addition to buying all kinds of alcohol, she went to Ron's house on a special trip. Ron is dead, and the things in his house are naturally ownerless.
So Rosa led a group of people with great fanfare and turned all the valuable things in Ron's house into the sky. Rosa had already planned that if anyone asked, she would push it all to Massimo, who would make him the heir of a nobleman.
Ron has colluded with pirates in recent years, and he is indeed very rich, but in terms of money, he even surpasses many nobles, and there are a lot of luxury goods in the family, as well as all kinds of art and gemstone crafts.
Rosa loaded all of these things onto the ship, set off from Ragusa, and circled the sea before returning to the dock at the base.
Nangong Yu looked at all this, and his whole body trembled, although there were a lot of gold coins left by Maxim, he couldn't help such a flower, and it was estimated that there were not many gold coins left now.
These people spent money without blinking their eyes, originally Nangong Yu planned to use this money to train more elite soldiers, but now he can only see how much talent Jim has as a businessman in the future.
Anna smiled and comforted Nangong Yu, this money is nothing, it is really not good to occupy a pirate stronghold again.
Looking at Anna's smiling nightmare like a flower, Nangong Yu nodded helplessly.
