Chapter 136: Return
Port-au-Prince and the port of Santo Domingo are on the same island of Haiti, and they went to sea before nightfall and arrived in Port-au-Prince the next morning, as for the water diversion fee and the docking fee, these hundred or so silver coins are really nothing, and the price of Zheng Zhilong's selling a flag in the Asian Ocean in this era is three thousand taels of silver - if you don't buy it, you will sink your ship directly, and these three thousand taels of silver are just to ensure that you will not be robbed by the Zheng family's ship.
After entering the port, everyone went to the shipyard in Port-au-Prince with two boxes of silver coins. Zhang Cheng found that the proportion of black slaves in Port-au-Prince, Haiti was not particularly high in this era, and only about half of what could be seen on the street were black slaves who followed their masters.
The black slaves are probably all in the farmland, Zhang Cheng thought.
It's also good news for the shipyard today, a group of British girls came to buy a ship, and it's a big ship with three masts, a few days ago there happened to be a British corsair captured by the Spanish Navy has been almost repaired and sold to them - although Spain and Britain are now hostile countries, but profits have no borders, as long as the British are willing to spend money, not to mention ship artillery.
The three-masted ship, which was originally priced at 10,000 pesos, was purchased by a foreign merchant, and the shipyard sold it for 12,000 pesos. After getting the deed, everyone boarded the three-masted ship and found that the mainsail here also showed the countdown time. However, there was no reminder that the task was completed.
Captain Bai Nenmei's mother: "I don't think this ship has a new name that caused us to not complete the mission?" ”
Bai Nenmei's sixth sister: "It's called the sword of the thick and long king." ”
Bai Nenmei's fifth sister: "It's better to call it the Dark Silver Holy Spear." ”
Sister Bai Nenmei: "Then it's better to call it the Silver Liquid Ship, I think it's very appropriate." ”
Bai Nenmei: "Hey." Bruce, you got the money, you don't have an idea? ”
Zhang Cheng: "Sperm-sucking female goblin goblin." ”
Pansi Cave family: "Cut." ”
The most rearly named ship is positioned as the Sperm-sucking Female Goblin.
The new name of the ship was written in paint, and nothing else happened. Zhang Cheng remembered a word in the mission: "It seems that if you don't recruit enough sailors to drive the ship, you can't complete the mission." ”
Captain Bai Nenmei's mother: "Are you going to the tavern to recruit people?" ”
Zhang Cheng: "It seems to be the case, in this era, taverns, hotels, restaurants, and brothels are not separated. ”
There are two main ways to recruit sailors in this era, one is to share, and the other is to pay a weekly salary. Because sea voyages are very risky, more people are willing to hire sailors and crews in the form of a share - so that if the crew loses money, they will not get a share, and everyone will be more cohesive when a ship is in danger. This is where the term equalization comes from. A lot of the time. The hired captain is only a share-based employee, and the owner may not follow him to sea.
However, when encountering a shipowner with deep pockets, it is necessary to hire the crew by paying weekly wages, so that the shipowner can get the maximum profit.
For the crew. It doesn't matter what happens. As long as you have the money to take it. Of course, although it is not easy to save money by paying every week, it is also a good choice to have money to drink and find a woman at every port. And in the form of a share, a maritime trade cycle can often take months or even years, whether it is piracy, storms, or even the attitude of local officials, or whether the goods are welcomed or not, may affect profits.
Since now the team is not short of money. Naturally, the crew should be hired on a weekly wage system. After employing 300 sailors in several pubs in Port-au-Prince, everyone suddenly gets a hint that the mission is complete.
In a trance after receiving the prompt, everyone returned to the living room of the room where the game was played, and everyone put on modern clothes again. Everything just now was like a dream.
As people celebrated that they were finally able to return home, the sixth sister cried out, "Hey, look, what is this?" ”
Everyone saw that the sixth sister was holding a glittering gold coin in her hand, this kind of thing everyone has seen in the game, it is a Spanish gold coin rial.
The sixth sister shouted, "I found it in my pocket." ”
Everyone rummaged through their own and found a Spanish gold coin on their bodies. The eldest sister took her Spanish gold coin and looked at it for a while and said: "There are still people who will pay thousands of dollars to buy such Spanish gold coins, it seems that they have not suffered in vain on the ship in the past few days." ”
This is about the game reward.,Complete a pre-preparation task and have a gold coin to take.,If you complete the most difficult customs clearance task.,That is, to knock down the total boss.,Presumably the income must be amazing.,But this game is still a little more dangerous for ordinary people.,Giving away your life is a pirate attack.。
Bai Nenmei: "That's right, the date." It's not even like the New Year. ”
When everyone heard it, they also took out their mobile phones or turned on the TV computer to check the time, and when they saw that the time was okay, the date had not changed, and the time had just left for dozens of minutes.
Zhang Cheng: "Probably this is what the Chinese say, one day in the world, a thousand years in the mountains." ”
Sister Bai Nenmei: "This just confirms that the time I said is unstable." ”
"But this game is still too dangerous, I'd better take it down." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took down the golden statue of Quetzalcoatl on the chessboard.
At this point, the Pansidong family also agreed: "Uh-huh. ”
The rewards of this game are certainly rich, but everyone is not an outlaw who needs to exchange their lives for money, and it can even be said that there are few outlaws in Nevada's mentally normal women, and they will have money to take if they split their legs and shout "oh buy karma" on or under the man. Uh-huh, yes, definitely.
If it weren't for where Zhang Cheng looted the vault, if everyone wasn't a pirate, they probably wouldn't have been able to make up the money, but the casualty rate of pirates is very high. The pirates of the past three or five years have already accumulated old bandits, and the main targets of the encirclement and suppression of the navies of various countries, like those pirates who have made a name for themselves, can hardly escape the hanging.
Not to mention that the merchant ships of that era were actually armed, and when encountering enemies with weaker firepower than themselves, they never minded playing black and eating black. Magellan, the first to circumnavigate the world, was too active in the war between the local natives, and finally lost his life because of it.
When Zhang Cheng put away the golden statue of Quetzalcoatl, he took a look at his Qiankun bag, there were really thousands of golden riyals in it, this was an accident in an accident, it turned out that space equipment could be taken from the game. This time, the time was a little tight, and I only took a few thousand gold coins, which can be regarded as a windfall.
Zhang Cheng thought: This is a good way to make money, for ordinary people, it can be said to be exchanging life for money, but for himself and those powerful superpowers, this difficulty is almost negligible, anyway, the opponents are all scum. In the seventeenth century, simple muskets and artillery were useful and more cold weapons were a relatively small threat to themselves. A gold coin sells for a few thousand dollars, and the more than 3,000 gold coins in your hand can sell for millions of dollars. But when you think about it, a multimillion-dollar winery can sell in an off-season month or a high-season week, and the appeal is not so great.
If Zhang Cheng is not a billionaire, maybe he will really rely on this to make money, Zhang Cheng held the gold coin in his hand and thought: It's a pity, who made me a billionaire.
This is the reason why the son of a daughter can't sit down. (To be continued......)
