Chapter 8 Trading
"I asked you to pull hard, not to let you use your dead strength, to feel the wind, you know? The wind, the kind that blows. ”
The boatswain shouted loudly behind Ryuji, pointing at Ryuji while the other sailors gathered around to watch the excitement, and since the end of the naval battle yesterday, Ryuji had become a madman in their eyes.
As a merchant and a nobleman, he even ignored the cargo in his cabin and ran to the deck to find a boatswain to teach him how to control the sails.
The boatswain was reluctant, and he even offered to pay the boatswain for guidance.
For the sake of a small bag of Cisse silver coins and a free laborer, the boatswain reluctantly agreed to Ryuji's request, and taught him how to tie a cable, climb the mast, retract the sails, adjust the size of the sails according to the direction of the wind, and so on.
At the end of the day, Ryuji slowly grew up, from a stupid guy who didn't know anything in the boatswain's mouth at the beginning, to now he should be able to drive a small sailboat to the level of offshore fishing.
In fact, the boatswain didn't know that every time he pointed out to Liuji, some words +1 or +2 would appear in his eyes.
[Sail Control Level 3 (166+0/900): Master the ability to control the sails, the main skill of the sailor, the level is equivalent to an old sailor who has been at sea for about ten years, strength +0.3, spirit +0.1]
[Description: The sailor's sail control technique taught by the boatswain himself is equivalent to the boatswain's many years of sail control experience at sea, in his words, sail control does not have to be dead force, but also to feel the presence of the wind with heart. 】
Just as Ryuji was watching the experience of sail control keep jumping up, the sailor said loudly: "Okay, that's it, we're going to the port of Tortuga soon, go back and take a look at the cargo in your cabin, you guys come here, control the sails, we're going to enter the port." ”
Seeing that the experience of jumping up stopped, Yanagi couldn't help but exclaim: "Don't do this, let me control the sail again, I'm about to find a feeling." ”
"You better go and see your cargo, get off the boat, we don't care about anything, if you want to control the sails, rent a small boat yourself and go to sea, swing at sea for a few days, you can do anything."
The boatswain commanded the sailors to put away the sails, and said to Liu Zhi, after all, Liu Zhi gave money, and it didn't cost him anything to mention a few more words.
In desperation, Ryuji could only walk to the cabin.
Before he could return to his rented cabin, Ryuji saw a fat man standing in front of his cabin.
The fat man was supposed to be a businessman too, and before Ryuji could speak, he walked over with a smile.
"Oh, Lord Sandru, I'm Dobby who got on the ship with you, I saw all your bravery during the battle yesterday, you are the king of the sea, this kind of stupid work of a merchant is really not suitable for you, you see that there is no fleet to go to Seville now, do you have any plans for this cargo cabin?"
Ryuji glanced at Dobby, a little puzzled as to how he chose the name of a puppy, and at the same time raised his head, "Why, you are interested in these goods." ”
Being stared at by Liu Zhi, Dobby took two steps back directly, but he still smiled there: "How dare I, but Your Excellency also saw that these goods are all specialties of nearby ports, and they can't be sold for much money in this sea area, and they can't be transported away, and they have to spend money to rent a warehouse when they are stored, you see......"
"Yes, how much money I bought it, how much money did you buy it." Ryuji interrupted Dobby, he didn't have time to handle that cabin of cargo right now.
"My lord, this original price is a bit ......"
"What, are you still too expensive? It's true that the goods are a specialty of a nearby port, but everyone can get a small share, if it is not for me to make a big profit, there are people who will receive a 20% increase in the price directly at the port, what's the matter, you still want to hit my idea? ”
After fighting with pirates and fishmen a few times, Ryuji's momentum had obviously increased, and now he pressed his scimitar in his hand and glared angrily, which scared the fat merchant Dobby back.
But the cargo in such a cabin was there, and as Ryuji said, not all merchants could buy it, and the fat merchant Dobi gritted his teeth and swallowed his saliva.
"Okay, I'll buy it at the original price."
At this time, Ryuji stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Dobby, "I have another condition here." ”
Before Ryuji could put forward his own conditions, Dobby jumped up, "What do you say, no, I won't agree to any conditions." ”
Ryuji didn't speak, just stared at Dobby jumping up and down, jumping for a long time, Dobby found that this trick was useless to Ryuji, and he knelt in front of Ryuji with a puff.
"Your Excellency, you are a nobleman, you have pity on us poor merchants, it is not easy for me to make up this money, I ......"
Before Dobby's words were finished, he felt a chill in his neck, and Ryuji had already put the scimitar on his neck, "Either agree to my conditions or get out." ”
Dobby's eyes kept rolling there, and he could tell that he was thinking about the gains and losses.
The last interest still prevailed, and Dobby finally gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?" ”
"Don't worry, I won't ask for anything you can't afford, I'm a noble nobleman, an honest businessman, so my scope of activity is only within the scope of legitimate business, and now I want to buy some people, you know, the kind of people who can completely obey me."
"Slave, I know." Dobby interrupted Ryuji for the first time, "I'm relieved when you say this, I have a way." ”
"Not necessarily, I want the kind of slaves who have combat power and are not responsible for death, and there are a lot of them."
"There are a lot of people, what are you going to do, you don't want to do a vote." Dobby is mixed in the middle and low levels, and many of his ideas are very close to the mercenaries at the bottom.
'No, my home game is in Sevilla, but obviously I can't go back this year and I need to make sure I'm safe on this soil.'
"But those bought slaves are not trustworthy, no matter how strong they are, it is useless."
"I know, I don't plan to ask them to protect me, I have my own ideas."
"Well, you have the final say, I really don't understand what you nobles want to do." Dobby didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
Looking at Dobby's helpless look, Ryuji pushed open the hatch and took out the cargo list from under his hammock.
In addition to the price of the place of origin, there is also the price at which the goods were bought, and how much they can be bought after they arrive at Cisse.
"A total of 307 gold and 66 silver coins, pay the money and it's yours."
