Chapter 202: Transactions
"You guys are really amazing, I didn't expect there to be so many joints in this, if you had known about this, you should have told me earlier"
The white bear sea shook his head with a wry smile, just as he was about to say something.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and there was a commotion in front of them, and everyone hurriedly looked up, but they saw that not far away, a large crowd of people shouted with gatherers
"Look, everyone, there's a merchant ship coming, there's a merchant ship coming."
"Hurry up, everyone, there's a merchant ship coming"
"There are merchant ships coming, what merchant ships are coming"
The two sea generals were stunned for a moment, for the entire Carat country, if there is a merchant ship coming over, it is a very good thing, and it is also a very simple thing, no matter how much or less the other party comes, but at least one thing can be sure that the merchant ship is coming, that represents a cargo, which means that everyone can make money, and the most important thing is that if you can take a line, then the opportunity to make money will become more, so for everyone in the port of Carlo, What does it mean that the arrival of any merchant ship will make them happy?
Does this mean that you have money?
"Who are they? Where did this group of caravans come from? ”
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like this, the merchant ships are completely different from the merchant ships we know, could it be that they are caravans from other places that come from the sea?"
At the port office of the Caro Country, the official in charge of the port showed a look of surprise on his face, you must know that in the vicinity of the Caro Country, almost all the countries have any records.
As soon as you see the ship, you can know which country it came from, which place it came from, and depending on the place, the goods they carry are different, the goods they carry are also different, and the price and focus of natural trade are completely different
But the four merchant ships that appeared in front of them had never been seen before, and they must have come from somewhere else.
"Greet now, greet now"
Any caravan that came to the port was very important to the country of Carlo, which represented a mountain road.
Of course, in addition, he also called the guards who lived in the harbor and waited for them, after all, although there was only a one-word difference between the maritime merchants and the pirates, the difference between them was not too big.
One moment it was a maritime merchant, and the next it could become a pirate.
It is not uncommon for pirates to enter the port and then raid by impersonating merchants
Therefore, for the arrival of the unfamiliar team, in addition to joy, it is more about waiting. As soon as you notice that something is wrong, you will immediately unleash a thunderbolt to eliminate it once and for all
"This is the port of the Carlo country, which is simply many times larger than the Carlos Islands"
Chen Zhangqian Ruxue stood on the deck, looking at the port in front of him as a prosperous scene.
Compared with the Carlos Islands, which is a port recessed in a canyon, the port here is quite open, looking at the Hainan line, all belong to the port area, docked with all kinds of ships, large and small, sailboats, ships, dazzling.
There are all kinds of ships.
There were more people on the dock, and as Chen Zhang drove the merchant ship slowly approaching the port, there were even cheers on the port, and a group of children were seen running and chasing the merchant ship along the shore of the port.
"It's really completely different from the Dachang Empire"
Qian Ruxue looked at this stunned scene and couldn't help but speak
Even in the port, it won't be as open as it is now, which really makes him feel uncomfortable
Chen Zhang looked at the shore
。 In the Dachang Empire, women are vassals, but they are different overseas, so you have to learn to adapt to overseas, women can not only inherit the family business, but even if they are female shopkeepers and teachers to do business, there is no problem at all."
With Chen Zhang's words, Qian Ruxue raised her head, and sure enough, she saw a lot of shops on the shore, all of which were female bosses, who shuttled among the human figures, wearing Western-style pleated skirts. No one pointed a finger at them, but they were full of liveliness.
Compared with the Dachang Empire, women can only stay in their own boudoirs, stay in their own homes, and there is more of a free atmosphere here
Qian Ruxue's breathing was short, her fists were clenched tightly, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would not have been able to believe everything like this, even if he followed Chen Zhang to join the rebel army in the Dachang Empire, he still had the traditional set in his bones
To put it bluntly, there are quite a few husbands and wives who sing with them.
But now in this overseas country, he really feels what it means to be free, no one will despise you because you are a woman, no one will look down on you because you are a woman.
And thinking that you can only stay at home, and you can't go out of the door, this is the breath of freedom.
Chen Zhang's eyes flashed, he knew that everything has advantages and disadvantages, this thing seems to be very beautiful, but it is caused by different cultures, blindly believing in the so-called freedom, will usher in a heavy counterattack of reality.
Chen Zhang didn't know whether the so-called civilization was good or bad for Qian Ruxue to come into contact with the West, but since he was overseas, many things could not be avoided at all, so he shook his head
All this can only be seen by Qian Ruxue herself, everyone has their right to choose.
"It's coming, it's coming."
The four warships controlled by Chen Zhang slowly entered the port of the Carlo Kingdom, and the expected obstruction was not there.
Instead, someone specially directed it to a nearby port and docked
Chen Zhang's brows furrowed slightly, and Liu Fucai on the side spoke
"My lord, this Karo country is indeed quite not simple, you can see what this Karo country leads us to this port is different from other ports, and this is a separate port, if I am not mistaken, this port is quite remote, and it is also surrounded by some elite generals, if we have a sudden emergency, or want to attack this Karo country, this port will be isolated from other ports in the Karo country, The elite soldiers and horses around us will come and besiege us, and it seems that we really have some Caro countries that are too underestimated."
Chen Zhang nodded quietly
Is this a normal thing? After all, you said that a strange caravan was going to come to the port, and you took someone else in without any precautions, to be honest, in this situation, in Chen Jiang's opinion, you are either bold or stupid
For the unknown, it is definitely necessary to guard against it
"Haha Liu Fucai, this is very simple, anyway, we don't have anything to say about Caro Country this time, in short, we just need to be able to complete this business quickly, after all, we must be careful, I am afraid of long nights and dreams"
Chen Zhang nodded and immediately made a decision
Originally, he also expected to be able to learn more about the customs and customs of the Karo country, as well as various trades, and prepare for the next transaction, but he couldn't stand the situation of black eating black before.
One of the four major sea generals, the White Snake Sea, will be crippled by himself, and now they are all taken to the Coral Islands, whether they are dead or alive I don't know if this matter is known by the Caro Country, it must be quite a troublesome situation
Fortunately, it was at night, and the situation was basically solved, and even if there were some people alive in the vast sea, it would be quite difficult to escape.
The most important thing is that along the way, Chen Zhang still arranged for people to carefully observe on the deck, and once he found someone who fell into the water, he immediately caught him or killed him directly, so as not to leave any living holes as much as possible. It's cruel, but that's the reality.
The battlefield is like this, either you die or I live
"I understand, my lordship."
Liu Fucai hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily. That's right, as long as there is a leak along the way, they will either be rescued and captured as prisoners, or they will be killed directly, and try their best to protect themselves and not let the news spread
In fact, Chen Zhang also knew very well that it was impossible to say that it was impossible to kill all the navies
But even if they survive, it is like winter to return to this Karo country before they wait
After all, there are no ships in the vast sea, and they can't swim to the country of Koro only by swimming to death, and the only possibility is that they meet someone on the way, rescue them, or survive if they encounter an island
The level is like this, if you want to return to the country of Carlo, you must at least be on it for a few days. Even weeks, months later. This is the biggest difference between the sea and the land, if you can't beat you on land, you can still escape, but if you can't do it, you can sneak away and go back to rescue in time.
But on this sea, it's completely different, and you can't move an inch without a boat.
Chen Zhang drove the battlefield he was guarding and slowly entered the port of the Carlo country, and disembarked at the designated place
Soon the port manager came to negotiate, and it can be seen from this that the manager is quite powerful. There was no crushing like in the Carross
Especially after De knew that Chen Zhang's person was from the Dachang Empire, his attitude became even more amiable
You must know that the things in the mysterious eastern country are also priceless, and many of the things in these four ships can definitely be sold for a high price
Therefore, the bargaining mode was immediately opened, although the final price was also quite gratifying, at least compared with the Carlos Islands, I don't know how many times more, from which we can also know that the Carlos Islands, to a certain extent, he relied on the Carlos Islands, and indeed made a lot of money, and almost all the things of the five pirates were eaten, and then the knife seller Carlo Kingdom could earn several times the price
A second-class peddler, to the extent of him, can really be said to make money lying at home.
After the matter was negotiated, the various materials that Chen Zhang needed were very simple for everyone in the port of Carlo.
There are also a lot of contacts in it, and the goods in and out are quickly put together, and in addition to deducting the money for the purchase of goods, this time it is even hard to earn hundreds of thousands of silver
.. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars of silver, not like the silver they did when they robbed it, this is the silver that is serious, Liu Fucai, who watched it, flashed back his popularity, and his eyes were really big and gritted his teeth
。 Now I finally understand that the lord beats people, why do you have to fight overseas? I always said that if it weren't for this trip to the sea, I would have no idea that this sea trade would be so profitable."
"Now I want to come to Dachang to the enemy's country, some of the big officials and nobles have always said that the navy is forbidden, in order to prevent the situation of rogue bandits, but now it seems that it is simply an impossible thing, they are not to prevent pirates, nor to prevent islands, they simply want to monopolize"
Liu Fucai gritted his teeth and said, you can say a lot of things, if you don't experience it yourself, you don't know what it's all about, and you naively think that what others say is what it is.
But in fact, many reasons come down to interests
"Okay, don't talk about that, anyway, this trip is a complete one, you might say that some people are carrying goods on the ship, and we will leave here as soon as possible."
"Yes"
Liu Fucai nodded heavily.
Chen Zhang is not a person without any sense of proportion, after doing all this, he let the barbarians take a vacation, so that they can also act recklessly and recklessly in the port, in fact, this is also something that can not be done at all.
It is impossible for a person to stay at sea for a long time, especially as a navy, because the scope of activities is too narrow, every day in the cabin, people will always drive people crazy, which is why after every naval operation, seafarers will go to have fun
To put it bluntly, it is to vent one's emotions, and the ancients did not understand this.
But Chen Zhang knows very well that in many cases, if you don't care about them, the consequences will be really unimaginable
Once these mental illnesses occur, it can be very troublesome, especially in a closed environment at sea, and the consequences are unimaginable, so the problems that can be solved with money are not any problems at all
Chen Zhang's side had to dock at the port for three days, after all, it would take a while for the goods they brought to sell and the like, and after the larger merchants they needed to purchase the goods were divided, it would take a while plus three days to transport them, which was enough for the soldiers to vent their emotions
In the past three days, Chen Zhang took the road ahead to take a good look at the port of Caro City, they did not move to Caro City, the other cities are too far away after all, and they are not at ease, but this port alone is enough to make money Ruxuan and many soldiers linger, it is completely different from the customs of the Dacheng Empire.
In these three days, Chen Zhang's arrival also attracted the attention of the king of the Karo Kingdom
As the king of the Caro country, he could only not receive Chen Zhang in person, after all, although he was from the Dachang Empire, he was not an official family, and the goods of the four ships did not have what they needed, but there was no problem at all with his concern
