The merchant ships of the merchants are often ships with large tonnage and high cargo capacity, because in this way they can achieve maximum profits.

Once upon a time, Karna asked Martin to run the trade route of the Rick River, because he was afraid that Martin would be knocked out by the rebels, so she offered a high price for the purchase of grain.

Rick City lacks everything, but not money.

Bakaria did not have a fleet of warships, and even if he had, he would not have sent such a sensitive place, after all, it would conflict with the national policy of the country.

Karna imagined that Martin's ship would be sunk, and that his merchants would pay bribes to break through the blockade of the rebel sailors at night.

Who would have thought that Martin would be so violent, turn his head and pull out a Rick Empire-style cruiser out of nowhere, and rob all the ships of the rebel navy?

Now, at a time when the entire Rick's shipyard has been shut down for many years, the remaining families of the rebels are probably finished.

Karna was both happy and shocked into a cold sweat.

Luckily, Martin was a bastard with a merchant flag, and once he was flying the noble flag of Lorrainburg, then the nature was completely different. This meant that Martin intervened in the civil war of the Rick Empire as a liege.

Karna absolutely did not want this kind of incident to happen, because it would give people a handle, and she could not explain it to several other nobles for this reason.

The civil war in the empire is its own business. The introduction of foreign aid is politically completely different.

"Wow! What a tall ship! Is this a merchant ship or a warship?"

"Ships, huh?"

"No, no, no! There is a pennant hanging on it, which is the meaning of merchant ships. ”

"But why did the boat follow behind...... Are they all painted with the insignia of the rebels and the flags of merchant ships?"

Amid the discussion of the citizens and generals, Martin, the helmsman of the temporary cameo, skillfully steered the Mermaid to slowly stop in the river harbor of Rick City.

The boat came to a standstill, and Martin, dressed in civilian clothes, disembarked first.

He dressed like a typical businessman, except that he always seemed a little funny. Because of the aristocratic habits imprinted in his body for a long time, his temperament is completely out of tune.

But Martin had an expression of "I don't believe it or not, I believe it myself", so he walked up to Karna, who was surrounded by soldiers, and wanted to make a lame merchant salute, but Karna took the initiative to hand it out, and Martin also took the opportunity to kiss the hand.

"Beautiful young lady, Martin Lorraine of the Mermaid Chamber of Commerce, has come to Rick City at your invitation to make a deal with you. ”

"Oh, mermaid chamber of commerce, why haven't I heard of it?" Karna's beautiful eyes rolled as she showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"Well, considering that Bakaria and the Rick Empire do not have a formal treaty of trade, this Chamber of Commerce has not yet been reported to the Empire after it was established. Martin pretended.

"Hey, is there such a chamber of commerce? show me your chamber of commerce's registration documents in Bakaria? I don't want to deal with a chamber of commerce of unknown origin. Karna teased.

Martin casually took a blank piece of paper from Garr's hand beside him, and said as he wrote: "Well, Martin Lorraine, Count of Bakaria, agreed that Martin Lorraine would establish a mermaid chamber of commerce......"

Karna rolled her eyes, and her expression was clearly saying - you are dirty, you kid can't even act.

Looking around, Karna could only sigh: "Well, this time it's really hard for you." ”

"It's not hard! Serve Rick Gold!"

Facing Martin with a hippie smile, Karna was momentarily angry, but General Ram next to her laughed.

After introducing each other, Karna leaves with Martin.

As their carriage left the dock, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers. They knew it was the cheers that were sparked by the food being brought off the ship.

In the midst of the sumptuous carriage, Karna also had to acknowledge Martin's contribution: "Thank you for your food, although it is not much, but it is definitely a useful addition to this city of 20,000 people." ”

300 tons of grain are spread evenly, and each person can have 15 kilograms, saving a little to eat, which is a month's ration.

Martin smiled brightly: "The first batch of three hundred tons, this is just the beginning. ”

"I am really happy with this news, after all, in its heyday, Rick City was a large city with a population of 300,000. However, the civil war destroyed almost everything...... Human life, arable land, construction...... In order for the people to survive, I even had to give hungry civilians to the rebels. for they have food there. ”

Martin shrugged: "The people of the province of Bakaria have no surplus, but the nobles do. The brilliant Rick Gold Coin is the best way to convince you. ”

Speaking of this, Martin couldn't help but squint.

There are many poor people in the country who have to throw their newborn children into the river and drown because they do not have enough food to feed their children. However, the warehouses in the castles of the nobles were full of grain, and even allowed it to rot.

The knightly lords of Bakaria were mostly big bosses and knew nothing but fighting, and the inevitable result was that they were secretly stripped of power by the internal affairs officials.

The top cylinder is a knight, and the money is an internal officer.

The problem of corruption has long been riddled with holes in this thousand-year-old kingdom.

Martin clenched his fists secretly, letting his nails sink deep into his palms.

At this time, Karna stared at Martin, and then her expression softened: "By the way, you really don't care about the Ravenna family's sailor like this?"

"Ravenna, you're talking about the rebels in Rick's Province?"

"Yes!"

Martin shrugged his shoulders and looked like he had killed a mosquito: "Which green onion is he? Sorry, I don't know! Anyway, the mermaid guild was attacked by a group of water thieves one morning. The bodyguards of our Chamber of Commerce wiped out the water thieves and confiscated their tools for committing crimes. Ah, yes, the water thieves we arrested, please take care of the righteous Miss Lopez on your behalf. ”

"Poof!" Karna really couldn't help but laugh.

General Ram next to him also smiled: "The navy army directly under the Duke of Tangtang is regarded as a water thief, and it is estimated that Duke Ravenna will be mad." ”

The old general's eyes were full of appreciation. He also didn't expect that the last time Karna was murdered, it would be a blessing in disguise. In addition to being favored by Sigma, the god of light, the biggest benefit is to make Martin Lorraine a friend.

After so many years of civil war, a lot of things have been lost.

Their faction had no navy, so they could only let the broken boats of the Ravenna family harass them along the river. They also thought about building a shipyard to build a shipyard to build a shipbuilding to fight back, but unfortunately the entire riverbank was watched to death, and there were only a few suitable places for shipbuilding in the territory.

As a result, every time a shipyard is built, it will be attacked by the opposing fleet halfway through.

Unexpectedly, Martin snatched the other party's boat as soon as he came. Although there were still a few destroyers on the side of the Duke of Ravenna, none of them were a problem in the face of this terrible large cruiser.
