Chapter 54: Why Build a Clipper

Siwa was a little puzzled: "Is it just a saving of manpower and a large capacity? Is there any problem? Don't all merchant ships like this? Although I don't know much about ships, I often take ships, and I don't think that any country's ships will lose to them in this regard, and they must be cheaper than theirs......"

The old captain Hu Ge suddenly showed a terrible expression, and even the battle-hardened Siwa was taken aback: "However, the ships of the lizardmen are faster than ours! Even if it is a new type of ship that can be driven by a few people! Moreover, no one has any business with them now...... Do you know what that means?"

Both of them said at the same time: "Expedition ship?" "Pirate!"

If Liu Jingtian heard their discussions, he would definitely cry out for injustice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Is it still called a boat if you walk at a speed with a person? Tie a rope to the old man, and I can pull it faster than this. ”

Moreover, with the aesthetics of modern earthlings, the mast is not high, and the bad review is not so much that the sails cover the deck, and the bad review is that the hull is fat and short, and the fat is like a big bathtub, bad review!

In the minds of several traversers, there is no option of "slow boat" at all, or there is no need to toss so much.

A day later, Xu Ping'an woke up - in fact, he had been sleeping, mainly because he was too sleepy, and he hadn't rested seriously for a month.

Liu Jingtian, who was waiting in front of the bed: "Lao Xu, I have always had a great idea, and I need to use this big boat to realize ......"

Xu Ping'an said weakly: "Always? Actually, I thought of it temporarily, right?"

"Uh...... It doesn't matter! Anyway, we need overseas trade! It's too slow to catch sharks, swordfish, and dog heads, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. Get a boatload of fat cows and everything!"

"Fat Cow...... Where are you going to get fat cows? I haven't even seen a merchant ship in the sea nearby......

"I have an idea. First, we went out to sea and invited a passing boat to our pier...... So, the ship going to sea has to be big!"

"Invite!?"

"Well, invite with a cannon, and they will come over honestly. ”

"Cannon!?"

"Then, first buy the things on his boat at a suitable price, and then tell him that next time I get a boatload of fat cows, I will collect as much as I want......

"Wait! What do you buy it for? I won't be done with you if you don't make it clear!"

Xu Ping'an's bioradar began to alarm.

"Of course it's money, we can't sell the dog's head to him, can we? Wait, don't get excited! You're not in good health!"

Hurriedly pressed Xu Ping'an back to the bed, and Liu Jingtian continued.

"So, you should get some money first...... We can find a den of some evil forces, and then use the cannon to discuss with them, do you pay for it, or pay for it, or pay for it?

Xu Ping'an rubbed his temples: "Please don't laugh like this, I'm still dizzy." By the way, what if the 'invited' merchant doesn't come back with a fat cow next time?"

"He dare! Don't appear in this sea, otherwise, in my eyes, he is an evil force!

"Okay, you really got out of it...... I understood, in short, to build a ship first, then to convince pirate bandits with cannons, then to invite merchants with cannons, and finally, to punish disobedient merchants with cannons......"

"Needless to say, we exchange sweat and wisdom for fat cows, it's as simple as that. ”

“...... I really want to pass out now...... So the question is, what if there are no pirates nearby?"

"Uh...... That's still going to build ships, and more to build. ”

"No, do you want to be a pirate yourself?"

"Am I that kind of person?!Of course, go to the coastal strip and look for animals, and then let the kobolds go hunting. There are no fat cattle, and the bison can make do, right? Unfortunately, they have to transport them themselves. ”

“...... You go away, I'll faint for a while!"

A few days later, a guy named Rubos began to inquire among the survivors: "Do you know of any pirate strongholds nearby?"

This man is very greedy, and he has been very close to Brother Long recently, and everyone has guessed about his purpose.

Siwa found Captain Huge: "My friend, you might as well make a small fortune recently, you should know the most about the nearby pirate strongholds, right?

"Siva, I've always treated you as the person I trust the most, please don't tease me with these words! I know, it's all those little things that are about to move, who knows what they're up to!"

"Hehe, old man, don't get excited, I'm really giving advice, who would mess around with something related to kobolds?"

His expression became serious: "Speaking of which, do you know the history of the Kingdom of Trem, the story of the founding of that legendary king?"

I didn't understand what kind of medicine he sold in his 'gourd', but Hu Ge still answered honestly: "My father is a merchant on the other side of the Sand Sea, and he moved here with me and my mother when he was a child, and I don't know much about the history of the kingdom. ”

"Let's keep it simple...... Although, it is not quite the same as the version boasted by the nobility: the kingdom of Trem already had many aborigines, who had lived in the southern plains for generations, but there was no political power, and the current name. The great king of Oc suddenly came here with an army, and in a few years he occupied all the lands, so he established a kingdom...... Do you have anything in mind?"

"Whose version is this? Sounds terrible......"

"The version that has been circulated in our hometown for a very simple reason...... This great king of Oak is the illegitimate son of a nobleman from my hometown, and even has a slight kinship with my family. He traveled extensively, and when he became an adult, he brought a group of unambitious playmates and subordinates here, and the next thing was the stories that were boasted by the local aristocracy. ”

"You want to tell me that this country may have been founded by a mercenary group?"

Siwa sighed: "After all, hundreds of years have passed, and it doesn't matter anymore. What I want to say is that after so many years of fighting, I no longer value the superficial good and evil, but have become a person who only cares about the result.

"What about the nobles? perhaps not as kinder as a lowly man. And these kobolds, although they look dangerous, they kill demons, they save some people, and they don't do anything else, do they?"

Hu Ge was a little confused: "Is it because we have done these things that we have to think that they are kind and credible?"

Siva: "I didn't say that. I hope that we will guide them in their next move, or at least, not to make them evil. ”

He added: "Look at these subordinates in my mercenary group, they are starving and killing demons, are they considered heroes?"

Hu Ge: "Of course, isn't it?"
