Sermena taught Coria and Bruno how to make wood, pulling two coolies who could make planks. Taking Koria and herself as an example, he dragged Mike, who was lazy and lazy, into the water. With the help of the three of them, Sermena's speed of repairing the ship was greatly improved, and a sailing ship with a load of more than 70 tons was repaired in more than half a month.

"Sister, I'm right, it's definitely going to work, and now we can solve the trade problem. "Sermena is full of pride.

"What do you think?" Mike asked Little Baker. Darmshal relied heavily on the Perava River for foreign trade, so the patrolmen like Baker Kelly Bullard Jr., who would protect the caravanserais, were more or less skilled sailors. Because Little Baker and Mike are related by marriage, and Kelly has a lot to do with the Sanzang mercenary group, Viscount Talungard sent them as the captain and deputy squad leader when he sent sailors.

"We used to only run boats in the river, so we were not very familiar with sailing, so it was necessary to practice for a while. "Little Baker came up with a very plausible excuse.

"Well, then you guys start as soon as possible. "Mike and Sermena didn't think anything was wrong.

So Little Baker and Kelly had a lot of rocks moved into the ship and began to sea trials offshore. In fact, no matter how big the moon sea is, it is not a real sea, there are no monstrous waves, although the navigation environment is different from in the river, it is not very big, and there are fish people in navigation, so there is no need to adapt to it. It's just that everyone is worried about the Whale sailing ship of Sermena, and they are very worried that it will start sinking in the middle of the voyage, so they find an excuse to conduct a sea trial.

After a week of trial voyage with a full load and half a load and some repairs and improvements, the two finally decided that they could sail, and went to Mumaster with eighteen Darmshal sailors, two fishmen, twenty goblins, and the 3,000 gold coins that Mike had given him.

"What the hell does your eldest brother want to do, why do you have to go here to build a goblin town?"

"I don't know, he doesn't need to report to me. ”

"Your sister didn't tell you either?"

She couldn't figure it out. At first, about three months ago, they wandered around the beach, and then they set up a makeshift camp to fight pirates. As for why it became the way it is, she couldn't figure it out. ”

"No, she didn't ask Mike?" Kelly was surprised.

"Didn't you put a lot of effort into chasing her at the beginning, and you still don't know what kind of character she is?" Little Baker was helpless

"Hey, you have to be responsible when you speak, even if you are familiar with me, I can sue you for slander. Kelly's expression was serious, and his tone was serious.

"Come on, who doesn't know here. "Harry, tell us why you duel with our Captain Kelly the year before." ”

"All serious, this is a semi-formal meeting of the team, important issues are being discussed, and no irrelevant things are allowed. "Kelly began to abuse his position.

"Cut ......" the crowd booed him.

"Alright, alright. In my opinion, Mike may have wanted to create a farming town here, similar to when Viscount Tarangard was in Darmshal. However, he did not emigrate, so he caught goblin slaves to fill the number. Little Beckla is back to business.

"I can see this kind of thing, and I just wonder why he didn't do it next to Darmshal and had to come here. Kelly hurriedly continued to speak, "You say this place, it's really good, it's much warmer than Darmshal in winter, but it doesn't seem to be much else." We can build windmills here, we can build waterwheels there, we can go by sea here, we can use river transportation there. ”

"You're talking nonsense with your eyes open. Harry objected, "Damshore is more than a hundred kilometers away from Bloodstone Village, a little farther than our trip to Mumaster, not at all. ”

"You can't say that, if you want to be near Darmshal, you can't trade with Darmshal. ”

"What do you sell to us? We still sell food every year. Besides, are you sure the Viscount won't send troops to kill them? We have to clean up the goblin tribes every year, but we never wanted to trade with them. "There was opposition.

"That's just as well. They are also sneaky now, not only looking for us from Darmshal to run transportation, but also asking to disguise themselves as Sentia merchant ships, presumably for fear that someone will kill them. ”

"Everyone, be careful, don't get your identity wrong. Otherwise, if someone is accused of colluding with evil creatures and pirates, we may not be able to return home. Little Baker reminded everyone, "Don't drink casually at the docks, so that you won't be able to control your mouth when you're drunk." ”

"Don't worry, the brothers know it very well. "In Darmshal's own caravan, the requirement is less than that, 10 gold coins a month. Here is a bonus of 15 gold coins a month, and everyone thinks they can stick to it.

"Captain, do you really think there can be dividends, the brothers are still counting on earning money to marry their wives and go home. Harry asked the crowd.

"Well, it's up to everyone to work hard, let Mr. Bob talk about the specific situation. "Little Baker hasn't figured it out yet.

Bob was both excited and a little nervous, he used to be a partner of Mr. Offitt, and he had no capital and capsized the ship, but he didn't expect to become the head of trade of the Whale because of a blessing in disguise, and now it still feels a little like a dream.

"Rest assured, let's transport grain and timber to Senti Asia, wood products and leather to Mumaster, if we can fully load, a round trip gross profit will be more than 800 gold coins. According to the estimate, we will run back and forth a month on this route and have several days of rest. Aside from all kinds of expenses and everyone's fixed salary, you should be able to earn more than 400 gold coins a month. Of the four hundred gold coins, half of them are divided by us, and each person can be divided into about ten on average, two percent are given to the owner of the boat and the capital, two percent are given to the fish man, and one percent is given to the Offite Chamber of Commerce that provides services. ”

"Of course, at present, we don't have so much capital, and we must not be fully loaded, so the salary and dividends have to wait for the repayment, plus the investment that the boss promised us, it should be on the line in two or three months, and then we will gradually make up for everyone. However, when the time comes, everyone doesn't want dividends, and they may want to do bigger business as capital. Although the cost of grain and wood is low and the sales are wide, the profit is definitely not high. When we make a few trips to figure out the market, we may be able to transport wool, cotton, textiles, etc., and the cost will be large, and the profits will be large, and at that time, we may be able to earn thousands of ...... in one trip."

"Okay, okay, I haven't run yet, don't fool around there yet. "Someone was heckling.

"It's all calculated, how can it be said to be a fool......" Bob was a little aggrieved, he calculated carefully for a long time.

"Grain, wood, leather, etc., have also been transported in Darmshal, and it is very clear how to transport them, and everyone should know it in their hearts after two trips. Bob just wants to tell everyone what he plans to do now and how to divide the money he earns. Captain Baker Jr. quieted everyone down, "Strictly speaking, we are not employees, we are all shareholders of this whale. After the initial period of blindness, many things had to be voted on. Now, they are all back to work, and the sail and lookout have come over, and what to do if they encounter pirates. ”

The crowd dispersed, and Kelly continued to question Little Baker.

"Are we running like this? Everyone else is running in a straight line, and we haven't seen a single boat in the past few days. "The route between Sentia and Mumaster is normally a straight line between the two places, more than 200 kilometers. The route that the Whale is ready to run is Sanzang Town è Mumaster è Sanzang Town è Sentia, more than 350 kilometers.

"According to Mike's calculations, it should be fine. The straight-line speed is fast and there are many profits, but there are also many pirates, and it is easy to empty the ship. ”

"Then can he recover his investment? He is ready to invest 4,000 gold coins, the Whale is a little old but it can be worth 2,000, but after a year, he can get 1,000 if he dies, and he will have to run for six years to recover the investment if nothing happens, can this work? ”

"Well, according to my guess, he is not mainly trying to make money, but to be able to transport things over unobtrusively. Otherwise, when have you ever seen someone willing to go out of the ship and the capital, and give the sailor a good salary plus five cents of bonus. But then again, why do you care so much about my eldest brother, didn't your sister run away with Brad. Little Baker glanced at Kelly.

"What are you thinking about, I'm worried that he won't be able to do it soon. At the time of Darmshal, although his behavior was obviously a son, he was not particularly rich. ”

"He obviously doesn't have much money. The ship was repaired with Sermena, don't you see it too? The capital given to us is estimated to be 4,000 gold coins, but now only 1,500 is given, and 1,500 is used to buy supplies. It's just that they've been making money, I guess they're selling goblins. If you practice as well as Goku, you can also make money by selling goblins in large quantities. Little Baker speculated.

"Come on, I know exactly what level I have, and besides, I'm old, and I'm not as energetic as you young people. Kelly sighed.

"Get out of the way, it's 24 you. ”

"Alas, the last time I went to the Dragon Palace with you, I obviously felt that my hair had fallen out a lot after I went back. I didn't really want to come this time, my wife and children are all at home, what am I trying to do when I run so far, what should I do if a sea thief gives me this old life. ”

"Well, think about it, eighteen out of twenty people are thinking of finding a wife here, and the two of us are married. Why don't I tell Mike to let you go back?" little Baker sighed.

"No hurry, no hurry. I finally came out once, and I didn't go back to see people if I didn't go shopping in the big city. Kelly waved his hand.

"By the way, we have to be careful in Mumaster, it's said to be very messy. Bob had been there a few times in the previous two years and listened to him first when he got off the boat. ”

"Say it at dinner in the evening. Yuehai heard that it was indeed quite chaotic, either a slave trader or a robber and thief. ”

"Your sister seems to be going to Sentia, it's been a few months, is there any news?"

"Yes, I asked Bird to bring a letter more than a month ago, saying that he and Brad had a great time in Centia and that they wouldn't be home until spring. ”

"Explain it to Brad?"

"Well, it seems like it might be ......."

"I don't know what to say about you, what to do if something really happens. ”

"I don't want to......"
