Luo Fei and I glanced at each other, and both understood that what the other party was thinking must be that if the personal inventory is placed, the safety should be completely guaranteed. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

After that, Luo Fei Liulong Aotian and Ai Who, who took the sailors to watch the ship in the port first, who he and I were, and Oliver went to the Governor's Mansion to apply for a trade license for the port.

With the 10 gold coins and dozens of silver coins they had received from Long Aotian, the three of them hired a carriage at the port and quickly rushed to the governor's palace.

Since Huta is nowhere near as prosperous as Lisbon, Oliver has informed Loffer in advance that it may not cost as much as 10 gold coins to get a permit.

Sure enough, when I went to the corresponding trade approval department of the Governor's Palace, it only cost 6 gold coins to complete a set of procedures, Luo Fei and I were very happy, and we didn't go back to the port but went directly to the exchange.

"Everyone, everyone! Nowadays, the demand for saffron in Ceuta is very large, which merchant who transports this goods can raise his hand and signal to me, no need to queue up to come to me to trade!! As soon as Luo Fei and the three of them entered the door, they heard the thin and tall boss of the exchange shouting loudly at the trading desk.

"Looks like you're in luck! Oriental Kid!! After hearing this, Oliver also said to Luo Fei with a happy face: "Usually in this case, the selling price of the goods is twice or more than the basic price!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! It's a good sign!! Luo Fei, who had already had confidence in his heart before he came, couldn't tell Oliver the reason. He raised his hand and shouted loudly to the owner of the exchange: "I have saffron!" When the other merchants around him heard this, many envious eyes were focused on him.

。。。。。。

"After removing the 146 gold coins I used to buy two cabins of leather today, as well as the wages paid to the crew, and replenishing the Seagull with food and water, I still have a total of 847 gold and silver coins.

After returning to the ship, Luo Fei quickly gathered the team members in his cabin to discuss the direction of the next trade, and I also roughly informed the other two about the current financial situation of the team.

"I'll just say it's up to Brother Luo! This is not just one trade, and we have completed nearly half of the tasks. "Who loves whoever still can't help but praise his captain first.

"I don't think you need to call anyone you love in the future, just call it a sycophant!" Long Aotian, who had a rough personality, couldn't hold back his sarcasm again, and turned to who I was: "How did you say you found such a partner!" ”

"But I think he's right!" Who am I with a blank expression: "It's the same as working in the company, is it normal for you to take the benefits of the boss and say that the boss is good?" ”

"That's right, but... Long Aotian was told who I was, and after thinking about it, he felt that what she said seemed to be right.

"Actually, you also want to show favor to the boss in your heart, but every time I take the lead, that's why I arouse a subconscious rebellion!" Who do you love who smiled when he saw Long Aotian like this, and said proudly and conclusively.

Surprisingly, Long Aotian was silent this time, and it seemed that he was really persuaded by what I just said.

"That's it! Let's get back to business! As the captain, Luo Fei was helpless, and he had to come out at the right time to end the argument for them.

Pointing to the map of Europe spread out on the table, he said: "According to our previous plan, it is normal to sail to Valencia or Arles after the purchase of goods from Ceuta. I recommend going to Valencia first, after all, the city is much bigger than Aar, the selling price may be higher, and the variety of goods that can be purchased should be more. ”

"In the afternoon, I asked the owner of the exchange that the most expensive thing in Valencia should be ceramics, and Alr has ivory, but it seems that they are all restricted, and they don't buy as much as they want." I was also told the other two what she knew.

"Then listen to the captain, let's go to Valencia first!" Love who who said: "If the sale is limited, it is a big deal that we buy a cabin of ceramics and ivory in Valencia and Alco. ”

"I agree with the Boss." Because it was Luo Fei's proposal, Long Aotian didn't do it against anyone he loved this time, and he also agreed.

"Well, since the basic route has been decided, I'll go and talk to Oliver and the main crew, the Portuguese bank deposit certificate of 800 gold coins will be kept in my personal inventory by who I am, and the remaining 40 gold coins will continue to be placed in Long Aotian for daily use." Luo Fei put away the map and said to the other three.

。。。。。。

In this way, the Seagull stayed in Ceuta for only one night, and the next day set sail for Valencia.

"Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, the second largest seaport, known as the sunny city of Europe, located in the southeast of Spain, east of the sea, backed by vast plains, evergreen all year round, pleasant climate." After sailing for another 3 days, when the ship was less than 1 day away from Valencia, when Luo Fei was basking on the deck with nothing to do, Oliver suddenly came from behind and introduced him to the basic situation of Valencia.

"I learned about the purchase restriction in Ceuta before, and I haven't asked you why in detail." Luo Fei saw that it was Oliver, and immediately said with a smile.

"This is because certain products in certain ports are often scarce after all, and exchanges are more willing to sell to strong, large caravans." Oliver patiently explained to Luo Fei: "Besides, around the port cities on the Mediterranean coast, although there are official warships patrolling from time to time, pirates who come and go like the wind are still a nightmare for small merchant ships like us!" The price of scarce goods per cabin is often several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary goods, and the restrictions imposed by the exchange on small merchants are actually to a certain extent to prevent them from going bankrupt due to encountering pirates! ”

"What do you mean, the pirates in the Mediterranean are generally only robbing and not killing?" Luo Fei keenly grasped the important information in Oliver's words just now.

"Yes." Oliver nodded: "They also know the truth that they can't catch everything, if they kill all the merchants every time, then after a long time, not only will the countries increase their crackdowns, even if they can be powerful and not afraid of encirclement and suppression, the merchants are no longer in the scope of their control, and their profits will be less and less." ”

As a small merchant ship, the Seagull was not equipped with a single gun, and all it had in the bow was extra sails that would speed up the ship.

Fortunately, the ship arrived in Valencia the next day without any danger. After applying for a permit and selling the leather, the two cabins of leather earned a total of 80 gold coins.

Such a profit is undoubtedly much less than selling saffron in Ceuta, but after all, the four of them understood that they had relied on "handwriting" before, so they were not too depressed. Because even if you can only earn 80 gold coins every 4 days in the future, there are still about 80 days to earn 2,000 gold coins before the time limit, which is normally not a problem.
