Lu Cheng and Patriarch Luo Yi discussed the matter of cooperation again.

The village of Kolo has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, and the concept of money has long been lost, and the villagers barter with each other. Of course, the food that is in short supply needs to be uniformly distributed, but what Lu Cheng never expected was.....

"What! 100 iron ingots for 1 gold ingot? Lu Cheng wondered if he was hallucinating.

Seeing Lu Cheng's reaction so big, Luo Yi immediately changed his words: "Ah, I'm sorry, I don't know much about the outside market, I thought gold ingots were more valuable outside, why don't we exchange 1 gold ingot for 50 units of iron ingots?" ”

Luo Yi asked tentatively.

Big brother, what surprised me is not that you set the price of gold ingots too high, but that you set it too low!

Although the trading market fluctuates, the price of iron ingots does not exceed 40 copper, and 100 units of iron ingots are only 40 silver coins, but gold ingots are worth 200 gold, and the difference in value between the two sides is 500 times!

If he hadn't considered subduing Keluo Village in the future, Lu Cheng would have agreed to exchange 100 iron ingots for 1 gold ingot immediately.

"Oh, no, no, Patriarch Luo was wrong, in fact, the price of 100 units of iron ingots is far less than 1 gold ingot."

It's a bastard to be cheap and not profitable, Lu Cheng's heart is dripping blood: "Otherwise, I will exchange 100 sets of iron ingots for 1 unit of gold ingots in Kolo Village." ”

Luo Yi stared at Lu Cheng in astonishment, and looked at Lu Cheng stupidly: "One ...... 100 sets of ...... Change a unit of gold ingots?! ”

"Don't worry, I won't do a loss-making business." Lu Cheng said bitterly, is it more worthwhile not to annex Kolo Village just to do business? Lu Cheng was thinking blindly in his heart.

This is a good place to exchange cabbage for platinum, and I am stupid to think about annexing Kolo Village, is it a big loss?

"How many gold ingots do you have in stock?" Lu Cheng waited for Luo Yi to come back to his senses and continued to ask.

"There may be more than 30 groups." Luo Yi replied a little hesitantly after recalling it, he usually didn't have the heart to pay attention to the reserves of gold ingots, because he didn't need them at all.

That's six or seven hundred thousand gold coins!

"Don't you usually pay attention to the reserves of gold ingots?" Lu Cheng also saw the clues.

Luo Yi nodded: "Yes, I know that gold ingots can be used as money in the outside world, but in Misty Island, gold is not as important as iron, so we usually don't go out of our way to collect gold ingots." Most of the gold ingots in these stocks were collected by the ancestors who landed on the island in the first batch, and later used them to make arrowheads when the metal was tight, but they were found to be too soft and never used again. ”

100,000 mud horses roared in Lu Cheng's heart, and you actually used gold as arrowheads...... If you say this, won't others be scared to death by your trenches......

Of course, in fact they prefer to exchange gold for food and iron.

According to the market price, Lu Cheng is enough to earn 500,000 or 600,000 gold coins from the gold ingots, but because Kolo Village wants to exchange iron ingots for gold ingots, a total of more than 300,000 sets of iron ingots are required to complete the transaction, and according to the limit of 4,800 groups transported by Calais-class battleships at a time, more than 60 times will be transported.

There is too little for large transports in the territory, and small transports are no longer sufficient for similar long-distance transport tasks.

Lu Cheng decided to find a way to get a large transport ship after he went back, at least 10,000 groups at a time.

There are really a lot of treasures in the warehouse of Kolo Village, Lu Cheng and Luo Yi spent most of the day setting prices for all the resources that Kolo Village does not need or have a large stock, and the price is not gold coins but iron ingots, food and other resources urgently needed in Kolo Village, which can be regarded as bartering, Lu Cheng is very curious about how such a trading system will collect transaction taxes.

"Lord Arbiter, the strength of the orcs has grown rapidly in recent years, and the frequency of invasions has become higher and higher, I hope you can support us as soon as possible." Luo Yi said almost pleadingly.

"Don't worry, I will arrange the transportation of the first batch of supplies as soon as I return to the territory." Lu Cheng thought for a while and said, "By the way, Patriarch Luo, you said before that the place where the fog will dissipate every once in a while is on the east side of the island, and we don't know the specific location, can we arrange a few guides?" ”

Luo Yi sighed slightly: "I think Zhuo De and Marven have shown you a good way, you are more familiar with each other, and Zhuo De originally entered Misty Island from the outside world, maybe he can still find out his own background outside." ”

Lu Cheng was immediately interested, so he asked, "Zhuo De is from outside Misty Island?" How did he end up in Misty Island? ”

Luo Yi didn't think much about it and told Zhuo De all the stories of coming to Misty Island, in fact, after so many years, there are occasionally people outside who strayed into the scope of Misty Island, but except for Zhuo De, the others have become corpses floating on the beach of Misty Island, Lu Cheng It is indeed a miracle that they arrived on Misty Island alive, if they come again, Lu Cheng himself is not sure.

Lu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, according to the routine of the game, Zhuo De's life experience must be a very important plot, but there are no valuable clues on the Misty Island, so he can only go outside to find out. It just so happened that Luo Yi sent Zhuo De to them as a guide, so they could take the opportunity to chat with Zhuo De more, and maybe they could find some clues.

"Patriarch Luo, there is one more thing that needs your help." Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Lu Cheng felt that he could talk about the maintenance of the battleship, "That's the case, although my battleship successfully reached Misty Island, because of the rare wind and waves encountered on the way, the damage to the battleship was not light, and I hope that Kolo Village can provide some necessary assistance." ”

Luo Yi showed such an expression: "Thank you for the favor of the gods, the safe arrival of our adults allows us to finally connect with the outside world again." Rest assured, Kolo Village will fully participate in the maintenance of the battleship. ”

Luo Yi patted his chest and promised.

The next day, in order to complete the repair work of the battleship as soon as possible, Lu Cheng led a maintenance and transport team of several hundred people sent by Kolo Village to rush back to the beach where the battleship was stranded.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back."

After Lu Cheng climbed onto the battleship from the rope ladder, he found that the captain Lu Nan was excitedly standing on the side of the ship to greet him.

Lu Cheng clapped his hands and asked, "Lu Nan, how is the maintenance of the battleship?" ”

Lu Nan hurriedly handed a towel to Lu Cheng to wipe his hands: "My lord, the hole in the bottom compartment of the battleship has been completely blocked, and the drainage work has been completed, and the other damaged parts have all been investigated." However, due to the lack of wood, the repair work encountered the difficulty of insufficient materials, and I was asking the crew to tear down some unimportant bulkheads and repair important areas, but there were still quite a few gaps. ”

Lu Cheng frowned: "The keel wasn't damaged, right?" ”

Lu Nan hurriedly shook his head: "The adults are too worried, there is nothing wrong with the keel, although there is a little damage in some places, but the impact is not great." ”

Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the keel was not damaged, it would not be troublesome to repair the damage in other places, it was nothing more than spending more materials and tools.

"The problem of materials can be reassured, I have brought dozens of sets of wood, and if it is not enough, I can continue to provide it." Lu Cheng pointed to the foggy beach, "The materials are all on the beach side, and you arrange for a small boat to transport them over." ”

Lu Nan looked at the place where Lu Cheng pointed his finger, and the edge of the fog was indeed full of shadows.

There was no need for Lu Cheng to continue to command, Lu Nan, who was dedicated to repairing his precious battleship, immediately kept all the crew members busy, and all the boats on the battleship were put down, in order to save time, all the wood was tied up and pushed into the sea, and the boats were dragged to the side of the battleship with ropes, and then the crew on the battleship used pulleys to pull bundles of wood onto the ship.

"My lord, the quality of this wood is not good." Lu Nan said worriedly after finding Lu Cheng with a piece of wood.

"Yes, the important place is to use the materials of our battleship to repair, and the secondary place is to use these woods, if it really doesn't work, nail a few more layers of planks."

The material of the wood of Misty Island is indeed relatively poor, and it is no wonder that a 100-ton ship can be built at most, and even a larger ship cannot be built at all.

Lu Nan nodded tangledly, there was no other way at the moment, but to use it.

"Lu Nan, let the artillery team pay attention to vigilance, the situation on Misty Island is more complicated, there are orcs and flying dragons, if you see orcs and flying dragons, don't hesitate to attack immediately."

Lu Cheng commanded, this is also the situation he is most worried about, because the place where the battleship is stranded is outside the safe zone of Kolo Village, and the possibility of encountering a flying dragon attack is not small, and he has also seen the magic attack of the flying dragon, which cannot be withstood by the Calais-level body, and the battleship in the stranding is an excellent target, so when encountering the flying dragon, you must strike first.

The maintenance of the battleship is a technical job, Lu Cheng walked around the ship and found that many bulkheads were patched, and there were not a few cabins that were dismantled because of insufficient materials, such as the galley on the battleship has completely disappeared, all the pots and pans are piled up in the corners, and many soldiers' cabins have also been dismantled, leaving only a few hammocks.

The artillery deck has been cleaned up, because the two missing guns are on the same side, in order to ensure the balance of fire, Lu Nan has arranged for someone to move one gun on the port side to the starboard side, and now there are 7 guns on both sides.

"My lord, is this your battleship?" Zhuo De and Marven, who accompanied the ship, excitedly touched everywhere, from the first sight of the battleship, they were shocked, the only large man-made object in Kolo Village was the magic defense tower, but after all, it was just a tall and thin stone tower, how could any battleship look mighty and domineering.

"Yes, you can look around, but don't come in if there's no permission here." Lu Cheng pointed to the cannons and the artillery on duty, "This is the gun deck of the battleship, which is usually exempted from idlers, if you sneak in or break in, the soldiers have the right to arrest or even kill anyone who is not allowed."

Zhuode and Marven were so frightened that they immediately withdrew their hands from the cannon, and Marven asked timidly, "Then what if we accidentally get lost?" ”

Is this ship that big?

Lu Cheng complained in his heart, but he could see that Marven was relatively timid: "Don't worry, you just need to follow me all the time." ”

"My lord, the scouts on the island have spotted signs of orcs approaching."

At this moment, Lu Nan hurriedly walked down the stairs and said.
