"There's nothing wrong with that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Locke nodded, "I can give you a part of the deposit for the grain first." As for the rest, we met in the trade. ”

"Distinguished customer, you need to pay me a deposit of 500 gold coins." Zax stretched out his green palm, rootless fingers gesturing. "We have a lot of food, too much to imagine, so I need a deposit of 500 gold coins, which also includes a deposit for the Gnoll Druid."

"You and I can tell you a little bit, if you use a ship, how many ships are there?" Locke was a pure landlubber who didn't know how much grain a ship could hold.

"Distinguished customer, you are a layman when you say this." Zax looked at Locke with a smile, and Locke looked at him inexplicably.

"Not all ships are used to carry grain. Some ships are heavy and loaded, making them suitable for merchant ships. And some boats are small and fast enough to be a fast boat, and the role of each type of boat is different. Zax thought for a moment and continued, "Let me tell you a brief, valued client. ”

Locke nodded, he really needed to add a little bit about sea ships.

"At sea, we broadly divide ships into two categories; Warships and merchant ships. Among them, warships are divided into three categories: large, medium and small, and the large warships are the main warships of the navies of various countries, and they are called 'ships'. The longest of these warships can be nearly 60 meters long and more than 12 meters wide. With more than 200 seafarers and sailors on board, and 25-40 cannons on board, the ship can reach speeds of up to 21 knots. This type of warship can withstand the bad weather of the Endless Sea, and can easily pursue enemies across the sea. They are the main warships of the Navy. ”

"Medium-sized warships, which are used to capture and pursue warships, are between 20 meters and 45 meters in length and 8 meters in width, they are able to get close to enemy ships and warships for hand-to-hand combat, their speed can reach about 28 knots, there are crews ranging from 80 to 130 on board, and they are equipped with 8-15 cannons. It is the intermediate force used in naval warfare by the navies of various countries. ”

"Small warships, mainly used for sentry patrols. They are small, only 10 to 20 meters long and only 5 meters wide. But they were very fast, capable of reaching a high speed of about 38 knots, with only about 15 people on board, maintaining the daily operation of the warship, and were not equipped with cannons for naval warfare. They are the eyes of a naval fleet and indispensable. ”

"If, the customer, you need to develop the navy in the future, our Hot Sand Port Group may design warships for you." Zax took the opportunity to stuff his group's advertisement, "Our warships and merchant ships roam the seas of the entire planet, and the quality is absolutely passable!" ”

"Okay, I can find you if I need it." Locke waved his hand. "Now let's talk about merchant ships."

"Well, strictly speaking, there are two kinds of merchant ships. Large merchant ships used for cross-sea transportation. They are tall and able to withstand the waves and bad weather of the endless sea, with a crew of just over 30 people. But every large merchant ship is capable of transporting more than 1,000 tons of cargo. These merchant ships are also the mainstream trading ships of today, and they are active between two continents and in the ports of various kingdoms. They are the same as the navy's great warships, even longer and wider, and some large merchant ships operate in dangerous seas all year round, and are equipped with cannons and soldiers to defend against the naga. ”

"Medium and small merchant ships, because of their hulls, are not tall enough to fall below high waves and stormy weather. They can only travel through the offshore area, but they are inexpensive and are the first choice for trade in various kingdoms. The only drawback is that the cargo capacity is small, medium merchant ships can only carry about 400 tons of cargo, while small merchant ships have about 100 tons, which is why they can only trade in close proximity. ”

"Among the merchant ships there are ferries used to transport customers by sea and troop carriers to transport soldiers, which are generally similar to the big merchant ships, but they have more facilities than the big merchant ships, and the customers are more comfortable to sit on."

"The above is basically the classification of sea vessels, and of course, those small shrimps and small fish will not be introduced one by one." Zax explained to Locke, "That's why, I said honorable customer, you don't know about sea ships. ”

"The ships I mentioned above, because of the different types of ships, only merchant ships are used for maritime trade and transportation, if we want to transport people, we use the ferries that carry passengers, and if we want to transport food, then we use merchant ships."

"If you have to ask how many boats of grain there are." Zax looked at Locke's face cautiously, and said tentatively, "There may be dozens of large merchant ships alone..."

Locke nodded as if he didn't understand, and there was no other expression on his face. Zax was relieved and continued. "Probably medium-sized merchant ships, you know, most of our goblins started by trading, and we have a lot of grain..."

"It doesn't matter! I will accept the food you bring this time. Locke said disapprerovingly, "But! This kind of grain trade is only once, and I will not be buying grain in the future. ”

"That's good! That's good! The goblin said happily, "Since this is the largest grain deal in the history of the Hot Sand Port Group, I will convince our prince." Send a navy to protect your food security until you get here. ”

"Thank you so much!" Locke stood up and bowed in thanks. Then he asked, "When will this batch of grain arrive?" And how do you get the trade message back? ”

"Oh, and about that, rest assured by the most expensive customers." Zax said with a smile, "Our goblin engineering technology is not only about making bombs and muskets, but when I leave tomorrow, I will ask our valued customers to witness a miracle." ”

The goblin didn't wait for Locke to speak, and said directly, "If it is usual, it will take more than 2 months to reach here by sea from Treasure Bay. But at the beginning of the next month, at this time of year, a warm current will form over the ocean through the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent. It will blow from the south of the continent to the north during the season. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the storm formed by this warm current and sail all the way to this place quickly. ”

"It's going to be more than half a month sooner than usual." The goblin gestured his finger, "We can get here in a few days in a month at most." ”

"Alright then!" Locke nodded, "Those things on my list need to trouble you." ”

"That's for sure, the most expensive customer." Zax said with a smile, "Whether I can be promoted in our goblin kingdom depends on this trade." Actually, I am very grateful to you, thank you. It's such a pleasure to do business with you! ”

"Mutual benefit and win-win!" Locke also smiled and said, "Our development is inseparable from your help, if possible, I will relax the restrictions on goblin trade in our country in the future, so it depends on the effectiveness of this trade." ”

"Oh?! That's great! Wait for my news! The most expensive customer! After the goblin said this, he jumped off the stool and bowed back to Locke, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you, and take my leave." ”

Locke sent the goblin away, and then returned to the house.

The hall on the first floor was arranged by Norris to rest the soldiers of the guard company here, Locke had to go up to the second floor, the single bedroom on the second floor did not know who had sorted it out, everything was available in the room, Locke also yawned, he was too tired on this day today, and he had to take a good rest.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Adams swung the axe in his hand and slashed at the bottom of the silver pine.

In this woodland, dozens of soldiers took off their armor, they wore shirts and trousers, and they looked at the trees with axes in their hands

In a burst of hey-hee, the silver pine gradually became a little crooked, and the base of the tree began to make a tooth-aching creaking sound.

Adams hurriedly shouted in the direction of the tree, "Be careful! This tree is falling! Get out of the way! ”

As soon as the words fell, with a bang, the silver pine completely lost its balance and fell down, and the snow on the trees and the ground was shaken by this force.

"Is anyone hurt??!" Adams shouted towards the place where the silver pine had fallen.

"Addams! Can you shout ahead of time next time? How many times has this been?! The voice of the sergeant of Wilmot came from the flying snow foam.

"I'm sorry!" Adams scratched his head, Wilmot had walked out from where the tree had fallen, his body covered in a thick layer of snow.

"I'm too focused, hehe. I'll be sure to pay attention next time."

Wilmot spread his hands helplessly, he pulled his weapon and shield from the snowdrift, set them aside, and continued to cut down his own tree.

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers came over, lifted the silver pine, which was more than 20 meters long, and walked towards the outside of the woodland.

"Addams! It's all your crow's mouth! Wilmot chopped down the tree beside him, and muttered, "You're right!" The Legion Commander really asked us to cut down the trees! ”

"Hehe, it's better to cut down trees than B Wing." Adams sat on his half-coat of arms shield and rested, "Look at the faces of those people in the B Wing, I'm happy when I think about it!" The Legion Commander asked them to build us a house to live in! ”

Adams said with a smile as the silver pine tree in Wilmot in front of him suddenly began to pour.

"Hey, hey, hey! Your tree is falling! ”

"Oops!"

"Boom!"

The silver pine rubbed Adams' side and fell heavily to the ground, splashing countless snow slags.

"Hey, don't play dead! Get up. Wilmot leaned against a tree behind him with an axe in one hand, "These trees can't kill you, get up." Don't play this childish game. ”
