The priest's eyes widened, his lips trembled with horror and he couldn't speak, he didn't think that he had betrayed the captain and smashed his own foot instead, and wanted to argue, but when he saw Zhu Jun's unquestionable temperament, he closed his mouth in amusement.

Zhu Jun doesn't have a good impression of this shameless pastor, but since he came to this world, he has already consumed his emotions cleanly, love and hate, for him is just a fool's words, in his eyes, there are only two types of people in this world, one is unusable people, and the other is usable people, such as Zhou Mubai, this person is arrogant and domineering in front of him when he is a Han general, but when he takes refuge in him, he is still willing to give a heavy responsibility, not for anything else, just because Zhu Jun can use his intelligence and needs his resourcefulness.

And the pastor in front of him was also classified by Zhu Jun as a usable person, putting aside his character, this person can speak several languages, and is very familiar with both the West and Luzon, and the important thing is that this guy is still relatively shameless.

Shamelessness has the benefit of shamelessness, at least it can be lured.

At this time, Zhu Jun had already stretched out five fingers: "How many silver coins is fifty taels of silver worth in Spain per month?" ”

"Venerable lord, it depends on the fineness of the silver, the tin content of the silver in the Far East varies, and there are relatively many impurities, so it is difficult to calculate, I think it is about sixty."

"How much is sixty silver coins worth in Spain?"

"It's not a small fortune, it can buy a small sailing ship, and it's enough to cover a small rich family for a year, you know, even a well-paid captain of the Spanish Navy won't pay more than that in a month."

Zhu Jun nodded, ripped off the cross on the pastor's chest and threw it on the ground, and said, "From now on, you don't have to be a pastor, you are my advisor on Western affairs, and I will give you a salary of fifty taels of silver a month and two days off a week." ”

The priest's face turned pale with fright, and he only felt that his head was buzzing, and when Zhu Jun violently snatched the cross on his chest, he also said that Zhu Jun wanted to commit murder, but he hadn't digested Zhu Jun's words.

"Either you will work for me for ten years and return to Spain with a box of treasure, or I will order someone to sink you into the sea today, and you can decide for yourself." Zhu Jun turned around and looked like he was about to leave the cabin.

"Honorable sir, I am willing to work for you." The priest's face was pale, but greed was shining in his eyes.

Zhu Jun turned around and asked lightly, "What's your name?" ”

"Ames."

"Alright, Ames, you go and help me get the map of the South Seas from the captain, and besides, I need you to do what you can for me." Zhu Jun is not stupid, and he will never give him freedom because of Ames's promise.

He led Arms into a door where the guards were standing, and said to the guards at the door, "Take out your knife and give it to this Mr. Arms." ”

The guard was stunned, and half-knelt down and said: "The little one doesn't dare to obey the edict, the emperor, this red-haired ghost is a Yiren, if he is allowed to take a weapon, if he has any ill intentions towards the emperor, it will be difficult for the small ten thousand deaths to atone for his sins." ”

Zhu Jun suddenly thought of this layer, and couldn't help but nod approvingly to the soldier, and said, "You think about it very thoroughly, what's your name?" I have a messenger for you. Flatten, stand and talk to me. ”

The soldier was on his back, and when he heard Zhu Jun let him get up, his legs flicked slightly, and he immediately stood up straight, and said: "The little name is Wang Yi, please ask the emperor to command." ”

Zhu Jun put his hands behind his back and said: "Wang Yi, you take a few people, escort this Westerner into the cabin, give him the knife, and let him kill the undead Westerner soldier in the cabin first, as for the Westerner officer, don't touch him for the time being, after the matter is done, take this Westerner to the deck to see me." ”

"No, I am a believer in God, and I cannot kill soldiers, let alone my own people." Arms on the side was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Jun turned around, looked at this greedy and timid priest, smiled faintly, but his eyes showed murderous intent: "Mr. Arms, even if you don't kill these people, they will be thrown into the sea by me to feed the fish, you must kill them, I can believe in your loyalty, now there are two choices, one is that I will kill you all, and the other is that you help me kill them, you choose for yourself." ”

Zhu Jun blackened his face, ignored Ames, who was like ashes, turned his head and left with a few guards, and when he left, he didn't expect to say a word to Wang Yi: "If this man doesn't kill his companion, you will chop him on the spot and throw him into the sea to feed the fish." ”

Who is the most loyal? Zhu Jun has no ability to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, but he knows that if he wants to die for you, he is to block all his roads, and he has only one choice, either follow you or die.

Arms would kill the Spanish soldiers in front of the Spanish captain, and then Zhu Jun would kindly ask the Spanish captain to write a will or a dying note, and the captain who witnessed Arms's atrocities would definitely write Arms's ugly deeds into a letter, and this letter would be in Zhu Jun's hands, and if Arms dared to abandon him one day, the letter would be sent to the Spanish authorities, and Arms would become a wanted man who killed his own countrymen.

Zhu Jun went to the deck, dozens of sailors were wiping the deck with heavy strips of cloth under the command of Mu Jianming, Zhu Jun moved his steps, standing directly on the side of the ship and waiting, the guards, soldiers, and sailors behind him did not dare to disturb him, only a few guards were on guard from afar.

The ship full of goods rode the wind and waves, and tossed in the sea for half a month, during which except for a few times in the coastal ports to replenish fresh water, Zhu Jun rarely let go of the wind and walked away, the rest of the time stayed at sea, the original yearning and passion for the sea had long been exhausted, until he woke up in the morning, there were bursts of cheers on the deck, and Zhu Jun knew that Luzon had arrived.

Nasugbu Port is the largest port on the western coastline of Luzon, which has the largest wharf in Luzon, and the entire bay belongs to the deep water area, large ships can sail directly into the coast to load and unload goods, and hundreds of ships of all sizes have been moored at the wharf, most of which are small boats near the sea, unlike before, the goods that were hoarded near the wharf higher than the mountains are gone, and most of the merchant ships are only moored on the shore and have no signs of going to sea.

When Zhu Jun's huge caravan entered the bay, almost everyone's attention was attracted to the past, recently because of the ravages of pirates, there have been many merchants who dare not go to the sea, occasionally a few bold are also rumored to be intercepted by pirates, up to the maritime merchants, down to the sailors all killed cleanly, and Zhu Jun's arrival, has to make those who are waiting for the news of the maritime merchants both admiration and jealousy.

The tax officer, Bagkington, was an obese Spaniard, and he had already made a small calculation while directing the pilots to let Zhu Jun's merchant ship slowly approach the dock. Since he became a tax officer, Bagkington has been able to have a gray income of dozens of silver coins almost every day, but recently, due to the raid of pirates, no merchant ships dare to enter the port of Nasugbu, and his income is becoming thinner.

Ten merchant ships docked separately, and the sailors on board boarded the sampan, and Bagkington couldn't wait, he patted the clerk who was following behind him and said, "Rick, as a competent tax officer, I must communicate with the merchants who arrive at the port as soon as possible, and you go with me." ”

The clerk wore thick monocles, how could he not understand the meaning of Barkington's words, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to serve Your Excellency." ”

The two of them said as they boarded the sampan and boarded the boat.........
