Murong Tao spent the night chatting with Captain Franks about the treasure map sandwiched in the logbook. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Marcus, Angelina and other key cadres were present.

Francs didn't shy away from taking out the treasure map and placing it on the bar, though he thought he didn't know exactly where the remnant map was marked.

Murong Tao explained the first time he met the ship doctor, and finally found that the ship doctor was interested in this treasure map, and in the end, he had no choice but to end up with the ship doctor.

Marcus suddenly realized, no wonder after the pirate attack, the ship doctor disappeared without a trace, he thought that the ship doctor thought that the ship was invincible, and jumped ship, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of Murong Tao.

Franks was puzzled by the idea of the ship's doctor to hit the treasure map. There would be no more than three people on the ship who knew about this treasure map, only himself, Marcus, and Bayard knew. Where did the ship's doctor get to know about this treasure map? Also, Franks told a secret that had been bothering Murong Tao, it turned out that the ship doctor was not on the ship at the beginning, he accidentally met in the trading market when the merchant ship entered Plymouth Harbor, at that time the ship doctor was extracting the teeth of a merchant in the market, all the passages did not seem to be so deliberate, but the purpose of the ship doctor on the ship was obvious, that is, to come to the treasure map.

"That crumb is really not a thing, it's better to kill it!" After listening to Murong Tao's narration, Marcus couldn't help but speak first.

Bayard just listened carefully as he wiped his glass, and he couldn't say anything about it as the ship's cook.

Franks handed over the long-cherished logbook to Murong Tao, who shirked it a few times, and saw that Captain Franks' face had changed, so he had to take it head-on. The treasure map was hidden in the logbook.

"What's next for you?" Franks took the refilled pipe from Bayard, lit the fire, took a few deep breaths, and asked.

"Since you have that three-month entrusted task with the Duke, you can't just perfunctory him, just take that child to the sea to relax." Murong Tao said, glanced at a few people around him, and found that they were all looking at him with disdain, Murong Tao sighed and said, "Okay, okay, they are all dozens of years old, it's not easy to fool!" I had been to the shipyard yesterday, and most of the captured ships were small Caravel class ships, and I had agreed with the boss of most of the Caravel class ships at a low price, and he had converted the spare cargo hold of the only Carrick-class ship into a cabin, with 20 guns and six ballistas. What else do you want to know? ”

"To the point, don't talk about uselessness." Marcus had a straight temper, and when he saw that Murong Tao was talking about him left and right, he was not sincere at all, so he couldn't help but interrupt.

Murong Tao held his forehead and re-revealed his plan and inventory.

"You mean we left-behind people continue to build the manor, do you?" Captain Franks smashed a few puffs of his pipe and asked, "What's the deal with that dungeon plan?" ”

"Actually, my real purpose is the dungeon construction plan, and the manor is just for outsiders to see." Murong Tao expressed his opinion, "The port of Cherbourg is now under the control of the Duke of Loire, but the Duke will not be stationed here forever, and sooner or later Paris will send a new governor to replace this vacancy." What if someone comes to our sailor's tavern everywhere? We always have to think about the future. There is no need to redesign, just use the underground fortifications of the treehouse tavern as the base and expand in all directions, remember, this news cannot be known to outsiders, so please ask the captain and grandfather to take a good look at the employment of personnel. ”

Franks puffed out a puff of cigarette and nodded, he seemed to understand.

"As for the women and children in the slums, I arranged them so that they were sent to the main store and the rest of the branches to work as waiters or cooks, and some of them could stay in the manor to take care of tomatoes and other plants." Murong Tao took the wine glass handed by Bayard, took a sip and continued, "As for those children, I need to select some children with good physical fitness and cultivate their ability to survive in the wild from an early age, and as for those with weak physique, I will train them to become the next generation of intelligence officers, such people are easy to integrate into society, and at the same time teach them the difference between useful information and useless gossip." ”

"Isn't this a little too cruel?" Marcus is a man who came out of the slums, he knows the plight of the children who grew up in the slums, and he doesn't want those children to be trained so harshly, and this kind of thing should be left to adults in the end, not dependent on these children.

"This society is already cruel, if it weren't for us, they might have been captured by the slave group and sold to other places, then their lives would be even more tragic!" Bayard, who had not spoken, was obviously more supportive of Murong Tao, "We gave them food, but we can't support them for a lifetime, we always have to teach them the ability to make a living, so how can we ask these children to have the ability to make a living?" That's the long-lasting training, as Rudy said, to teach them how to distinguish intelligence, and they can exchange it for money. Although this life is full of dangers, sometimes danger can mean that large sums of money can be obtained. As for the physiques, I'm guessing they'll be our future successors, isn't it Rudy? ”

"Almost, that's right." Murong Tao didn't expect that the chef who supported him the most here would be, but he was still full of gratitude to Bayard.

"Although I will also conduct special training on physical fitness and other aspects of the sailors on the ship, including you Marcus, your martial arts skills are really unsightly, don't look at me like that, if you are not convinced, we will fight alone!" Murong Tao looked at Marcus playfully, and when he just glared at his Marcuston, he was stunned, and even the iceberg beauty Angelina confessed that the man who was convinced of defeat was an idiot who went head-to-head with you, "Children have a lot of bad habits that have not yet been formed, first of all, they are inert, adults have a lot of bad habits, even if they have special training, they may not be able to change much." That's why I'm training these little guys. ”

Murong Tao didn't tell them that he started from a very young age, when he was younger than these 7 or 8-year-old children, he was organized to train killers, and he killed people at a very young age in order to be able to eat enough, and now he can have such skills, and he has all come all the way from the mountain of corpses and the sea of corpses.

"Then let's go treasure hunting first?" Marcus directly changed the subject.

"Nope." Murong Tao shook his head and said, "There are many unknown variables in treasure exploration, and it is impossible for me to take Melody to explore treasures." If something goes wrong, it's hard for me to explain it to the Duke. There is no need to offend such a powerful person, it is not too late to wait for the end of the 3-month commission to explore the treasure. ”

Franks smoked and nodded, and it seemed that he had thought about it too.

"So where do we go first?" Marcus touched his nose and asked, "You don't really want to run around the business, do you?" Although many ships were captured this time, the waters in this area were not calm, and the British fleet was in trouble from time to time, which was enough for us to drink a pot. ”

"Naturally, it's about making money, and although I don't have the threat of Captain Luther, I still owe a lot of contracts to fish merchants!" Murong Tao said with a wry smile and said, Marcus just woke up like a dream and slapped his thigh, isn't it, those contract people were hiding at the beginning, and they had to repay 10 times the principal and interest a year, although there were fish and chips supporting the table, but where could you make so much money in a year just by relying on the shop here in Cherbourg Port?

"Are you planning to go to other cities to seek franchise branches?" This time he was guessed by Bayard again, Murong Tao gave him a thumbs up directly in front of everyone, Bayard laughed happily, only Marcus sat there drinking stuffy wine.

"Our first stop will be to Port Pavrel, Marcus, don't you want to see Martha?" Murong Tao roughly guessed Marcus's mood and said with a smile.

"Really? That's a good feeling, I'm going to go back early and prepare some things that Martha's girl likes, and give them to her when the time comes. Marcus tilted his neck directly, poured the wine directly into the cup, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and took the opportunity to slip away.

There was the laughter of several people behind him, and Marcus ignored it, he really missed his daughter. The first time a daughter goes far away, which father will not worry?

"Oh, by the way, Fat Willy came to look for you today, but you're not there, he seems to be in a hurry." Franks suddenly remembered something, and said "oops".

"Well, he came to see you a few times yesterday, I guess it's about the branch." Bayard said as he put away his glass and headed towards the kitchen.

Since the Duke of Loire's covert support, people of some status now know that in Port Cherbourg there is a place called the Sailor's Tavern that sells a unique set of fish and chips, and also provides franchise applications. Some interested merchants have broken the door to the tavern these days.

However, since that time when he openly came out to relieve the siege of the sailor's tavern, Fat Willy has not appeared again, Murong Tao only thinks that he is busy with the fish business, in the end, after the Luther Chamber of Commerce in the fish market has been banned, a large amount of market share has been vacated, and many fish merchants have been snatching the market share of the Luther Chamber of Commerce these days.

It's just that Fat Willie suddenly came to him, and he acted very urgently, and he didn't know what trouble he had encountered.

Just when Murong Tao made up his mind to go to Fat Willy's house tomorrow, a waiter knocked on the door and came in, saying that Fat Willy was coming.
