Chapter 203: Letters of Recommendation

"Thanks, no, I swear I'll never feel like that again after that fight." Billy Road.

"Just kidding, in addition to us, I also plan to contact four other powerful captains on the island, and the six of us will work together, and the chances of winning are still very big." Black Prince Sam said, "After the matter is completed, everyone will share all the goods together, which is a lot of money, which is worth a year's income of everyone, that is to say, if you want to, you can give yourself a long vacation for a year." ”

"If it's just to make money, you should be able to find more suitable prey, why are you so interested in the Spanish treasure ship?" Zhang Heng on the side also asked.

It is undeniable that the value of the goods on the Spanish treasure ship is the highest, in addition to tobacco, silk, gold, silver and jewelry, the black prince Sam is not bragging about the income of taking a ship on top of a ship, even if the six pirate ships are divided equally, the share in everyone's hands will definitely not be less.

But at the same time, the danger is also high, unless the purpose is revenge, like Blackbeard, no one will usually go head-to-head with the military.

What's more, Spanish ships are also notoriously difficult, even pirates don't like to rob the Spaniards, because they rarely surrender, and many times they are obviously at a disadvantage but would rather be sunk than break the bank, and to rob them not only have to face fierce battles, but also may get nothing in the end.

"The main thing is that the opportunity is rare, the Spanish treasure ship is generally dozens of ships acting together, and it is usually impossible to start, this time it is rare to be alone, although there are still two frigates of the navy, but it is already the best opportunity." The Black Prince Sam said with great interest, "I spent a lot of money to get its sailing route from a familiar intelligence dealer, how about it, are you interested in making this order together, if it succeeds, we will be the first pirate team in this area to successfully rob the treasure ship." ”

"That's what you really care about, right?"

Black Prince Sam didn't deny it when he heard this, and his signature sunny smile appeared on his face, "Life, there is always a need for some challenges, Blackbeard Tich can take the Scarborough, I have asked so many people to go with me There is no reason why I can't take a Spanish treasure ship."

Zhang Heng asked Billy, "What do you think?" ”

The helmsman of the Jackdaw looked a little helpless, "I still prefer to rob merchant ships safely and securely to make money, but we have no other clues on hand lately, and I know that the bastards on the ship can't refuse such a chance to make a fortune, their appetite is like a bottomless pit that will never be filled, but since the other party only has three ships, and we have six, I think we can try." ”

"How's our recruiting going, will we be ready to go to sea in two days?" Zhang Heng asked, when he received the system prompt before, the number of people on the Jackdaw had just reached seventy, and the recruitment work did not stop after that, Zhang Heng, Billy and the others agreed on a target of ninety people this time.

After reaching this number, the broadside battle is no longer a shortcoming of the Jackdaw, although there is still a gap between those large pirate groups, but it will not be as dangerous as going to sea this time to encounter someone sneaking up from underwater.

"So far we have recruited a total of twenty-six people, four of us died in the previous battle, and two were seriously wounded, and we got off the ship with pensions, so now there are eighty-two people on board, mainly experienced gunners and carpenters, who are not easy to find, but the manpower at this stage is almost enough." Billy paused, "Two days shouldn't be a problem, and if it doesn't take that long to procure supplies, I'll immediately organize people to drag those guys out of the courtyard and tavern." ”

"Okay, I'm going to inform the others, so we'll see you in two days." Sam, the Black Prince, said hurriedly.

He turned and took a few steps, but stopped again, and reached into his coat, "Oh, I almost forgot, this thing is for you." ”

"Huh?"

"A joint letter of recommendation signed by seven people, recommending you to join the council on the island, sorry, there was a slight delay in the middle, there are two guys who are having a conflict because of the distribution of a batch of loot, insisting that as long as one party signs the other party, they will resolutely not participate, I can go to someone else to replace it, but then there is no way to use this matter to adjust the conflict between them."

"Thank you, hard work." Zhang Heng took the letter of recommendation.

"All you need to do is give this letter to Speaker Clay, and then the parliament will organize the members to vote, and as long as you have more than a third of the votes, you can join the council." Sam, the Black Prince, added.

"Clay, which Clay, the owner of the Theater, Clay King?"

"Well, don't take this kind of thing to heart, the speaker of the council is just a formality, anyway, there has been nothing in the past two years, the speaker's job is basically to review the membership or something, the real big things are voted on by everyone, Clay's popularity in the council...... You know, there's no one on the island who doesn't like him, and he's willing to give all councillors a seven-percent discount, so it's hard not to elect him as Speaker. ”

"Huh."

Zhang Heng then came to the front of the courtyard according to what the black prince Sam said, and was greeted before he could speak.

Mainly in recent times, the sailors of the Jackdaw are the well-deserved main consumers in the courtyard, and a large amount of gold coins have been scattered here, and the bustard's mother remembered the boss's instructions, and saw Zhang Heng's eyes lit up from a distance, and immediately called out the maids who had no guests, and even expressed their willingness to serve him for free once to thank him for his contribution to the courtyard, but in the end Zhang Heng declined.

At this moment, an old man with a somewhat thin figure and a pipe in his hand walked out of the house quickly.

He is Clay King, the owner of the Academy, and he is also the most well-informed group of people on the island, and he has long heard the news that Zhang Heng is preparing to join the parliament, so he took the letter of recommendation with a smile and said, "Welcome to the council, in fact, even if you don't come to me, I will go to you after a while, Captain Zhang Heng, your name has spread all over the island, and the construction of Nassau is inseparable from excellent people like you." ”

"Mr. Clay is polite, but wouldn't it be too early to welcome me now, wouldn't it be necessary to vote to join the council?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Don't worry about voting, one-third of the parliamentarians are in favor, this provision is just to prevent anyone from making trouble, in fact, the people who have not passed this link since the establishment of the parliament can be counted on one hand." Clay said, "And there's no one who doesn't lose face with a letter of recommendation signed by Captain Sam." ”
