This count, which took more than half an hour, although the ship came from India, but halfway around Africa for supplies, after processing half of the goods in Africa, then purchased 130 black slaves, and then went north to the town of Vavalon, replenished fresh water and food, and finally arrived in England.

"We counted thirty-five sacks of grain on board, as well as a lot of porcelain and jadeite, for the use of the British royal family, and in addition to these, we found a box of gold coins in the captain's room, and Cindy and I estimated the price, and the total value was about 25,000 pounds."

Cindy and Thomas finished counting and reported their finances to Zhang Yang.

This price was a lot of money in Britain at that time, and in Zhang Yang's memory, the price of a fourth-class sail battleship was only about 26,000 pounds.

In the Age of Discovery, steam ships had not yet been invented, and all ships were wooden sailboats, and Britain, the overlord of the seas, set six classes of such ships for easy planning.

It is worth noting that the famous Black Pearl and Queen Anne's Revenge, the two legendary warships, are nothing more than a three-masted fifth-class ship, and the flying Dutchman is equivalent to a fourth-class battleship, which is very rare among pirates.

Ordinary pirate ships, most of them are sixth, fifth-level battleships or looted merchant ships, their own combat effectiveness is not too high, in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie shijie, the most massive should be the British Royal Fleet Effort, belonging to the East India Company, equivalent to a first-class warship, in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was destroyed by Black Pearl and the flying Dutchman.

The Helen occupied by Zhang Yang is a medium-sized transport ship, with two decks for loading goods and goods, and its combat effectiveness is about the level of a sixth-class battleship, but because it is not a specialized warship. Instead, the merchant ships were modified with artillery to defend against pirates, so the actual combat effectiveness was not too high, and the main thing was to carry goods.

"Based on the standard configuration of 1 captain, 1 first mate and boatswain, 1 carpenter, and 17 sailors, you can leave about £20,000 after deducting the sailors' commissions and normal expenses."

The price of goods in this era seemed to be very expensive, which made Zhang Yang a little smacked, and Thomas skillfully handed a form to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang took a general look at it, and then remembered it in his mind.

After the inventory was completed, Cindy's father, Uncle Valen, also arrived.

"You two little guys, you actually secretly robbed a boat and didn't tell me."

He was also a captain when he was younger. Naturally, he is very fond of the boat, and this time Zhang Yang and Cindy left. Probably never to come back. Zhang Yang gave up time to Uncle Valen and Cindy.

To Zhang Yang's surprise, Uncle Valen was carrying a large package.

"Inside are a few clean clothes, made according to your and Cindy's figures, you don't know when you will be able to come back, pay attention to safety on the way, pay attention to other pirates. Ask Thomas, he's a good sailor and has a lot of experience, if it weren't for my age. I'll go with you. ”

Uncle Valen's instructions made Zhang Yang have a faint feeling of nostalgia in his heart, and Zhang Yang, under the urging of Uncle Valen, changed into a better outfit and a tricorne hat, which is the one worn by Captain Jack, which looks like it really has the taste of a pirate captain.

Cindy and Thomas also changed into their own clothes, and then Uncle Varen took out a few things from the package and handed them to Zhang Yang.

"You're a first-time captain, you don't have much experience, pay attention to it, these three things I left behind before are essential items for going to sea, compasses, binoculars, pocket watches. There is a nautical chart for Thomas, who worked part-time as a lookout when he was younger, and can help you steer the course. ”

Zhang Yang nodded, Uncle Valen's words were all from experience, and he took over the three things, the style is very old, but it is well maintained.

"Xiexie, Uncle Valen, I promise you that you will come back with Cindy to see you."

"Haha, this is Captain Zhang's promise to me, and I can't break my word."

Uncle Warren and Cindy were busy recruiting sailors and selling goods in the next few hours, and two-thirds of the goods were sold for about 1W7,000 pounds, because they were sailing to sea and were the first crew members, so Uncle Warren and Thomas offered twice as much as ordinary sailors, and successfully attracted many people to participate.

What is the purpose of the pirates' adventures, of course, to make more money.

In order to encourage the people, the sailors' remuneration was paid on the spot, and immediately 3,000 pounds were spent, and then they bought food, fresh water, some meat and fish that were easy to preserve, and of course, the most common rum, and some gunpowder and guns, and in order to prevent the breeding of bacteria and diseases, Zhang Yang hired people to clean the bilge where the black slaves were held, and spent more than 1,000 pounds.

As for the original crew, at the request of those black slaves, Zhang Yang handed it over to these people to deal with, just to save his own hands, as for the fate of these people, it shouldn't be very good.

After a busy morning, it was noon that everyone had finished sorting out the things on the ship, and the crew had already taken their places, and under the leadership of Cindy, they only needed to lift the anchor and leave; Before leaving, Zhang Yang secretly handed over 2,000 pounds to Uncle Vallon, asked him to leave the town of Vavalon, and left the way to contact him in the future.

The three-masted wooden ship gradually disappeared from people's sight, and many years later, the town of Vavalong became a large town, but in the center of the town erected a mysterious stone statue, which was an Oriental man with a sword, who seemed to be a captain, and on his body, there was a mysterious legend.

"From the town of Vavalon, a legendary pirate king of the East has come ......."

The Helen soon sailed away from the port of Vavalon, and stood on the deck, feeling the breeze blowing in her face, with busy sailors behind her.

"Ah, the sea, it's full of water."

Zhang Yang's mood at the moment is very refreshing, and he can't help but think of this limerick, in the vast sea, driving an ancient wooden sailing boat, that feeling is like a modern shijie buying a sports car, galloping on the flat road, very happy.

"Captain, we are now heading downwind, the current is in the same direction as our route, and if nothing happens, we will be able to reach Turtle Island in five hours."

"yes, I see."

Thomas reported the situation behind Zhang Yang, and then returned to the deck to direct the sailors to get busy, and now that it was sun, the sailors began to scrub the floor with towels and clean the stains from the boards.

Cindy counted the rest of the cargo and began to inspect the hull with the carpenter.

The direction they are heading at the moment is northeast, in this sea there is a strange island, called Turtle Island, Turtle Island is also known as Tolti Island, this island is located in the Caribbean Sea, which gathers pirates from all over Shijie, and is not under the jurisdiction of any third party, Shili, which is a paradise for pirates.

Zhang Yang's choice of Turtle Island as his first stop is related to his mission, first, he needs to increase his reputation in pirates, and he needs to be recognized by one of the nine pirate kings or one of the three legendary warships, almost certainly, this condition refers to Jack Sparrow.

Jax Sparrow is not only one of the nine pirate kings, but also the owner of the legendary battleship Black Pearl, and the male protagonist of Benshijie, so he is naturally more sure to choose him than some unknown guys.

The combat effectiveness of his merchant ship is not too high, and trying to catch up with the Black Pearl, which is known as the fastest ship in the Caribbean, is as ridiculous as a one-year-old child trying to surpass Liu Xiang's speed of 100-meter hurdles.

Uncle Warren said that Jack may have been imprisoned, but that prison is not clear, and the best place to find out this kind of news is Turtle Island, where pirates gather, and the little blacksmith Wiltner, when looking for Jack, he also started to find Turtle Island.

Zhang Yang stood at the bow of the ship like this, except for Cindy and Thomas, no one dared to rush up to disturb him, these sailors all witnessed what happened to Zhang Yang before, and knew that Zhang Yang had a magical ability to conjure a scimitar out of thin air.

While thinking about what would happen next, Zhang Yang had time to check his information, first of all, the title of the captain.

"Captain's Title: Earned after entering Pirates of the Caribbean Shijie for the first time and owning a medium-sized ship from the ground up."

"The basic effect of the title: morale, deterrence."
