"One-two-three, one-two-three."

"Yo hey, yo hey!"

On the docks, workers are in full swing building the cause of feudalism in Tripoli.

The laborers trotted all the way down the ship to carry the food and weapons from the ship, and then one by one shouted the trumpet, pulling forward and pushing the heavy marble up.

One by one, the soldiers in charge of maintenance cleaned the shells and aquatic plants that were stuck to the bottom of the ship, and by the way, they applied the oil, and various processes were combined to improve efficiency.

They don't want overtime pay, they don't want to rest much, they just want to finish quickly.

The overall efficiency is at least ten percent higher than usual.

Sweat was swaying, morale was high, all because of a few young girls who were waving to them.

"Oh, at this rate, you'll be able to load everything before dark." Wu Xin was quite satisfied with the situation, he turned to the shipowner and said, "Your Excellency Sherlock, you have done a really beautiful job this time, this girl family"

"It's the girl generation." In fact, Sherlock himself didn't fully understand the name, "Or Girls' Generation?" ”

"Whatever, they're really good anyway." Wu Xin had no idea about this matter at all, "This is the emperor who greeted him?" ”

"No, they are the hottest dancing girl group in the whole Mediterranean, maybe in the whole of Europe, and they are the money bags of the Medici family." Sherlock told Wu Xin the truth, "If it weren't for the emperor's face, the little money you gave would not have allowed them to come to the port of Tripoli, not to mention that it was still a time of war." ”

Although in fact the road was very smooth, if it were not for the pressure of the emperor, the ladies and their bosses would never be willing to take this risk.

"Is it the Medici business?" Wu Xin looked at the dancing girl and found that her movements were light, and her steps were dark and the principle of fighting, "The young lady at the head, does she have the rank of bard?" ”

In Wu Xin's plane, it seems to be some kind of constraint, no matter how hard a man trains, he can hardly get the bard rank.

There are musicians and composers, there are men, but the only ones who can use their singing to boost morale on a large scale, and at the same time create a link to the magic web, are women.

Wu Xin guessed that this was either a joke by some powerful god, or one of the many flaws in this plane.

"A mid-level bard, completely incapable of actual combat, this is the highest level that can be achieved." "Pretty much all the best bards these days work in various dance companies. ”

The reason is obvious, although joining the army can be honored and possibly power, but after all, it is a dangerous path.

In comparison, this job is more cost-effective.

"If they are captured, the Medici will lose a lot." Sherlock comments.

"Wouldn't it be okay to cultivate such a dance girl group and then publicize it?" Wu Xin is strange that he really doesn't understand this market at all. "Don't tell me it's about art, isn't it art?"

Wu Xin wasn't sure, he didn't think it was art, but he didn't want to make judgments too arrogantly.

"I don't know if this is a form of art, it is mainly related to market share, the business of this pop dance girl group is very competitive, although the Medici family has a first-mover advantage, but the dance girl groups of other big families are also very competitive, if there is a window, soon other dance girl groups will squeeze the market, this is a market of hundreds of thousands of thales a year." Sherlock was also unwilling to be arrogant, and his explanation made Wu Xin understand that he was indeed giving face.

"The loss is for the Italian nobles, at least for the ladies, going to Istanbul to serve His Highness the Caliph is actually about the same." Wu Xin commented heartlessly, "It's really a big reputation, it seems that many of these laborers and soldiers have heard of them." ”

By this time, the shipment had been completed, a third faster than expected.

Several fanatical fans were enthusiastically cheering on the dancers, and of course their attempts to approach were unobtrusively blocked by several experienced bodyguards.

It can be seen that the laborers recruited by the local nomads are not really star-chasers, they just think that these scantily clad women are instinctively exciting.

The most fanatical ones are the Hungarian immigrants who have just arrived.

"These workers are not the main market for these dance girls, but they are even more popular in the more affluent cities." Sherlock wasn't keen on dancing girls, of course, but he was open to the market, "only one or two percent of these workers were obsessed with them, and if they were in Milan or Paris, when they showed up, there would be fans asking for autographs." ”

"One or two percent is also remarkable." Wu Xin glanced at the audience, and there were more and more people gathered on the dock, "Although my port of Tripoli is also a big city on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, I really didn't know that a Florentine dance girl troupe would have such a big influence here, are they ready for the stage play I wrote?" They were able to leave after three performances, and I understood the eagerness of the ladies to leave. ”

"It's all here, and their agent said it's not in a hurry." Sherlock said not to worry, "As for the rehearsals, you don't have to worry, they are top dancers, your stage show is not very complicated, they are all ready at sea, but are you sure you want to perform?" Will it provoke public outrage? ”

"Definitely not." Wu Xin waved his hand, "In addition to the cute dancing girl, what else did you bring me." ”

"A leatherman who borrowed a loan shark and was hunted down, a stonemason who slept with a noblewoman and was hunted down by her husband, one-third of the position was weapons." Sherlock finally added, "The other tonnages are all filled with trade beads according to your requirements, are you sure you can sell this thing?" ”

The population controlled by Wu Xin increased, and the first thing was naturally to expand the army, and the cobbler was able to make armor from sheepskin and camel skin, which was the best equipment that Wu Xin could afford.

The stonemasons, on the other hand, are there to process the dug marble, and with a little processing, they can sell it for 30 to 50 percent more.

"If you can't sell it, you have to sell it." Wu Xin's financial resources are limited, "I sell a little more weapons, metal weapons are very valuable in the Black Continent, a little deeper inland, there will be more than fifty percent of the profit, to my destination, at least five times the profit." ”

"Why don't I use the token diamonds I gave you?" Sherlock was surprised by Wu Xin's shabbyness, "You have no other way to use it, ****** the warehouses of the Yaego Chamber of Commerce have been emptied by Barbary pirates. ”

Wu Xin shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal to Sherlock's claim.

Sherlock wanted to ask again, the agent who came with the ship, a steward of the Medici family, came over, and after Sherlock introduced him and Wu Xin to each other, the butler asked eagerly: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tripoli, is the thing you said really going to be sold at auction, the True Chosen Pope is extremely concerned about this matter, he has granted me great authority, I hope this is not some kind of excessive publicity or simply made something out of nothing." ”

Although the emperor's face is very big, Wu Xin himself is not completely faceless, otherwise the girl group would not be "not in a hurry", if according to the ladies themselves, they don't want to spend the night here at all, and it is best to return overnight after the performance.

"How dare I deceive the Great True Chosen Pope?!" Wu Xin looked extremely shocked, "But you must be able to understand that the auction can only officially start when the Spanish envoy also comes." ”

Wu Xin's auction is finally going on, and the life-extending treasures are really attractive.

Of course, this statement alone is not attractive enough.

But now the situation has changed, although Wu Xin has not yet contacted the emperor, he believes that the emperor will pay attention to him.

Whether it is the true chosen pope of Rome or the emperor of Madrid, they can get the best astronomical knowledge, and they are the people who know most clearly that Wu Xin is in control of a new moon in the entire plane.

With such an ability, there is naturally a high possibility that you can obtain a treasure that prolongs your life.

"Hmph, I doubt they really have the courage to cross such a dangerous course." The steward of the Medici family, who had himself failed in the struggle and was driven out, "not everyone is as brave, loyal, and pious as I am, and who is devoted to serving his master." ”

"Of course, of course, I am sure of your courage and faithfulness." Wu Xin bowed slightly, "But the situation at sea is not so dangerous recently, Haireddin has abandoned his strengths and gone too deep on the land, and recently suffered a big defeat under the city of Gabes, and the Hasf family has recovered the strategic initiative and surrounded Haireddin in ****** City." ”

"Really?!" Sherlock and the steward shouted in surprise at the same time.

While this means that there will be more competitors for the life-sustaining treasure, the resumption of the course is a much better thing.

Sherlock was a little skeptical: "Those goods from the Hasf family, can they win against Hyreddin?" ”

"Soldiers are in danger, is there always an accident?" Wu Xin said.

Sherlock wanted to ask something, but the steward changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have one more question to explain in advance, the stage play you arranged is too dangerous, and if the nomads riot, the girls must evacuate immediately." ”

"I'm sure there will be no danger to the show, just cheers and screams." Wu Xin was full of confidence, but added, "Of course, I also have sufficient arrangements, and His Royal Highness Sazastan will personally protect the young ladies." (To be continued.) )
