Chapter XXVIII. The Maritime Academy of Casablanca

Casablanca is also a national port, and the fat man watched as the ship followed closely behind Lord William's butt under Arthur's command into this dock full of ships, and then docked at the dock under the command of the local commanding personnel.

Lord William set up a gangplank between the two ships, and then walked over with Shi Shiran: "Your Excellency, I am going to rest in this harbor for ten days, and I need to inspect and repair the captured ship, and add some crew sailors, and I have given it a great name, the Asuka, a great name, and I need to have the shipyard write the name on the ship when it is repaired, so that it can be easily registered when entering and leaving the port." ”

"Great name! But I think my boat's name is even better! Chang'an! What do you think? The fat man also showed off the name of the ship he had just named.

"Oh! Chang'an? Great! But can you tell me what it means? I'm sure it will have a special meaning! Lord William suddenly heard something familiar.

The fat man smiled: "Because that is my fiefdom, my title is Chang'an-county male, which means that my fiefdom is in Chang'an-county, barony." ”

Lord William's eyes lit up at the mention of the title: "Really? That's a great name, by the way, can I get an idea of how big your fiefdom is? What is the population? ”

Speaking of this fat man, he scratched his head a little: "This, I haven't been to my fiefdom yet, but I am a county baron, and the fief is a county, and we have there, the population of a county should be tens of thousands, maybe thousands, I don't know very well." ”

"How much?" Lord William was shocked: "You said tens of thousands? ”

"yes!" If it is according to the Ming system, the population of a county must be at least more than 20,000 or 30,000! That's right, but that's just if, but the fat man is now the official of Emperor Jianwen, who knows how many people he went to Nanyang in that called Nanbu Continent, and how many people can be counted as a county, whether you know it or not, anyway, the fat man doesn't know.

But he still made it clear that he hadn't been to his fiefdom yet! In fact, he didn't even know where Nan Ganbu Continent was!

"Alright! Your Excellency, you have scared me, do you know how many people there were in this Casablanca when it was at its highest? Lord William paused and saw the fat man shake his head and said: "This port is already a national port, but it does not exceed 100,000 people at its peak, and Your Excellency, your fief actually has tens of thousands of people, which can be said to be more noble than the governors of some small countries!" ”

Fat people think about how many people are in Europe, this will just recover from the Black Death, I heard that when the Black Death was epidemic in the past, more than two-thirds of the people here in Europe died, and it was already their luck not to die, how could they compare the population with China.

In Daming, there are more than 50,000 people in a middle county, and I don't know how many people there are in the big county, he snorted in his heart: Compare the population with us, what are you kidding!

The fat man had wanted to go around the port, but Lord William said that after a while, the tax collector would come and check the goods in the ship, and register them, and the goods that had not been registered could not be traded in the exchange of the port, because it was easy to evade taxes.

Lord William had no intention of buying or selling goods in this port, so he did not let the tax collector come on his ship to collect the tax.

He had only entered the harbor to replenish his supplies and repair the ship, for both his Lord and the newly acquired Asuka were already crumbling, and they might encounter a stronger wind, or a group of pirates, and they would be buried in the belly of a fish in the sea.

His ship needs to be overhauled, and it will take about ten days, so these ten days should be well arranged.

The fat man also felt that his ship also needed to be rebuilt and reinforced, but he only had 400 Daming gold coins and 10 Daming silver coins on him, so he hurriedly asked Lord William to estimate how much it would cost him if his ship was reinforced and reinforced.

Lord William glanced at his ship and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, it seems that you are not usually exposed to such trivial matters, and I can see at a glance that your ship is very strong, and there is not even a little cracking, but in the last naval battle, its collision angle hit my Lord, and it was just a little scratched, and it didn't cost anything, although they were all brigs, but your ship was used by those pirates to rob at the beginning, and it was very fast, much faster than the Lord, and this ship also left the location of the side gun room, If you ask the shipyard to fire two gun emplacements on each side of the ship, your ship will definitely have the most firepower of the brig, and of course, your guns and gunners will need to be the best. ”

"And it doesn't cost a few gold coins to fire a gun position, but it costs a lot of money to buy a good artillery, just like the fine iron mortar on my ship, it costs two thousand silver coins, and a hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, so to buy a good fine iron mortar you have to prepare twenty gold coins, oh! These arms dealers are simply vampires! And you have to buy it at black market merchants, and ordinary arms dealers can only sell iron cannons. ”

It could be seen that Lord William was very angry: "I braved great danger to sail the sea on the sea for several months to go back and forth to Stockholm, and the shipload of goods I brought back was transported to Cyprus to sell it to earn twenty or thirty thousand gold coins, and finally I had to ask the tax collector to take one-fifth of it, which is the gold coins we earned from fighting the sea!" ”

The fat man saw that the guy in front of him, who proclaimed himself a nobleman all day long, had no aristocratic temperament in his bones, and the whole person was in the eyes of money, so he had to ask helplessly: "What does Lord William actually want to say?" ”

Lord William smiled: "Actually, if we are distressed about the gold coins, we can also get artillery without spending money, and it is possible to get paid, do you want to try it?" ”

The fat man was worried about the little gold coins in his pocket, and when he heard that there was money to be made and taken advantage of, how could he not nod unhappily: "There is such a good thing?" ”

Lord William laughed and said, "Of course! Know the Maritime Academy? ”

Maritime Academy? Of course, the fat man knew that when he played the king of navigation, in order to occupy the throne with the fastest combat upgrade on the first day of the service, he clicked on the assistant and used gift money to brush up on the maritime affairs for a day, and finally pushed his name to the first place on the battle list for the first time, that time was the first time, and it was also the first time so far, so he was very impressed by the Maritime Academy!

It's just that this game has been changed beyond recognition, and everything has been changed to a very reasonable and somewhat fantasy feeling in it, so, what has this maritime academy changed to?

After arranging all the crew members of the ship into the hotel, throwing the ship into the shipyard and asking them to draw a golden dragon on the ship according to the drawings he had left behind, and then writing the three big Chinese characters of Chang'an, he led Arthur and followed Lord William to the gate of the Maritime Academy.

The first thing you need to do when you enter the door is to register, register what ships you have, how many of them, and then you can get the boats you have registered in the academy, the equipment on the ship is the same as your own boat, and the sailors are also full for you, and they will prepare you with short weapons whatever you like, but these weapons are unbladed, and dyed with paint, and they will leave marks on their bodies, and they will be cut to death.

The guns on the ship are equipped with exactly the same, but the shell is actually a pink shell, and how many rounds are hit, where and how much lethality they hit, there will be a referee next to them.

The battle was fought very fairly, and the fat man fought three battles today, and it was a fleet with three weak opponents, and it may be equipped with iron mortar cannons, and the range was very close, while the fat man's ship was two fine iron mortar cannons, and the caliber of the fine iron cannon was much larger than the iron cannon, and the range was much farther, so the fat man often flew kites for the opponent far away where the opponent could not hit him, and easily killed the opponent.

He wondered where he would get the reward for winning the battle, who knew if someone had taken him to a large turntable, and there were many squares on the big turntable, and it said that there were 10 gold coins, 20 gold coins, 5 gold coins, or how much plus a worn arms box, or a sturdy arms box, or some kind of pirate pocket or something, and there was an arrow on it, and the staff motioned for the fat man to turn the turntable, and when the turntable stopped, the arrow pointed to whatever it was.

The fat man was lucky today, he got a total of 70 gold coins and three arms boxes, one for worn, one for old, and one for sturdy.

Lord William had long since stopped, and his battle had risen to another level, as had the fat man, but the Lord's three large wheels had not received anything other than gold.

The people of the Maritime Academy had already ordered the reward arms box to be delivered to the hotel, and then all the sailors in the hotel came to see the fat man open the arms box.

Ethan said loudly, "Lord Baron, let me help you open it!" I'm very lucky, and believe me, I rarely lose money gambling with people! ”

A sailor laughed at him: "You rarely gamble money, this can't count, noble lord, let me help you drive!" I gamble a lot, but I rarely lose! ”

The fat man looked at the sailor, who was not on his own ship, ignored him, and said to Ethan: "Good giant Ethan, I believe in your luck, then, you can open a box for me, you can pick one!" ”

"Hah! Believe me, Lord Baron, I'm not going to let you down, I'm going to make a good gun, and I'll choose this sturdy arsenal. ”

At this time, Arthur also squeezed in: "My captain, how about I also open a box for you?" You know, I'm notoriously smooth! ”

"Good! You're my first mate, and if you can't make a good deal, I'm going to punish you for inviting the guys on board to drink a glass of rum, what do you think? The fat man shouted.

"Good! Long live the captain! ”

After watching Arthur casually pick out a worn arms box, the fat man looked at the group of British pirates, but now it was the group of people under him, and called a man's name: "Ori, you come and shoot the last one, if you can fire the fine iron cannon, then I will promote you to the commander of the gun, because I will open four more gun emphases on that ship, as long as you can fire the fine iron cannon, those cannons and gunners are under your control!" ”

Ori was stunned!
