Chapter 21 Buying a Boat

Seeing this, these evil spirits began to spread among this port city with a population of at least hundreds of thousands. The corners of Liu Yi's mouth couldn't help but show a strange smile.

However, Lewi's eyes soon turned to several churches. That church, in Lewy's eyes, shone with a faint light. But it protects a large part of the city.

Liu Yi smiled slightly, then turned back to his bed.

The next day, early in the morning, the attentive Trek was already waiting in the hotel. And with him came another guy. It is said that his name is Remygo, and he works as a foreman in a medium-sized shipyard.

It is said that he has won the trust of the boss!

"Have you eaten, let's eat some together!" Liu Yi said unhurriedly.

In fact, you don't need to ask, just watch these two guys come so early, and you know.

Liu Yi is not in a hurry, and the problem of funds has not been solved.

Just eating a simple breakfast and asking about many things in the shipyard.

This Ray McGonagall is indeed quite proficient in ships, and he has a lot of treasures when it comes to all kinds of ships.

Sue sΓΉ Leu, now it is better to buy a steamboat. Because steamships are now the mainstream direction of ship development, and wooden sailboats will be outdated sooner or later.

And, more importantly, steam ships take up more money. Therefore, it is easier for the boss to reduce the price by a little more.

Liu Yi told these two guys that as long as they could help him buy cheap and good ships, when the time came, the bounty would not be a problem.

The two were overjoyed, and Ray McGonagall invited Leo to the shipyard to see the ship. And ask Liu Yi not to reveal the identity of the buyer for the time being. In this way, it is best to fish in troubled waters.

Originally, a steamship was going to buy tens of thousands of gold cakes in Dachu. And it's still priceless. There is only one theoretical price. Don't take it out at all!

In a place like Leeeng, I don't know if the technology is more mature. In a word. The price is much lower than that of Da Chu, but it also requires twenty or thirty thousand gold coins. I was able to buy one.

This is the result of the recent price crash, if not. Then the price will have to be at least another three or five thousand gold coins.

Of course, such a big business cannot be negotiated in a day or two.

Liu Yi told them that during this period of time, he was hired by himself. Open a high salary of one gold coin a month to them!

This is an extremely attractive high salary, which immediately makes the two of them grateful for the not-so-good price. vowed to work well for the boss of Liu Yi.

This made Liu Yi quickly realize that in Liying, the purchasing power of gold far exceeded that of Da Chu.

No wonder steamboats are sold so cheaply!

You must know that the weight of a piece of gold cake in Da Chu is about a little more than a hundred grams. And Leening's gold coins. But it is at most one-fifth of the gold cake, about 20 grams.

A steamship is only twenty or thirty thousand, which is equivalent to one-third of the theoretical price of Da Chu.

So, why is this price so cheap?

But now think about it, in terms of the purchasing power of gold, Li Ying is much higher than Da Chu.

There is no other reason, the territory of Dachu is too wide. In the period of one or two thousand years, I don't know how much gold was imported from various foreign domains.

Even two hundred years ago, he congratulated the Son of Heaven on his birthday. The older courtyard even built a golden hall directly......

Of course, it was rejected by the Son of Heaven. This is also too cheesy......

But. You can also know. What is the amount of gold owned by Da Chu?

If there is more gold, this purchasing power will naturally go down. It's as if there are more banknotes, and inflation will naturally occur.

Now it looks like Leewin's gold buying power. It's about half of Da Chu, and it's between double.

Too much detail in the comparison of numbers, but lack of surveys. There are also no models. It's hard to figure out.

Knowing this, though. For Lewi, that's pretty much enough.

Immediately went to the shipyard with Trek. Now the plague is rampant in that place.

Naturally, they didn't dare to let Liu Yi take the risk, but fortunately, the area of the shipbuilding area outside the city was huge.

In addition to the shantytowns where the workers lived, the main factory areas should be less troublesome.

Remegogall worked for a small and medium-sized shipyard, and after holding two ships in hand, the funds were no longer working.

Today, the entire factory has almost ceased operations, leaving only two half-built ships parked in the dockyard.

Except for a team of guards hired by the owner of the shipyard to guard it, it was completely silent.

In fact, in such a shipbuilding area covering an area of dozens of miles, almost all of the dozens of shipyards, large and small, have stopped working.

Remag was familiar with the guards, and stuffed them with a small gift, but a few bottles of wine.

I told them that I had a relative who had never seen what shipbuilding was like. So I wanted to take a look......

For this, the guards didn't have to think about it, and let them go.

Dozens of shipyards are gathered here, and it can be said that everyone's technology is about the same. And there is nothing worth keeping secret.

At the moment, Liu Yi can still board these two half-built ships to have a look.

Of these two ships, either of them is larger than the Yi Zi.

One of them was a steamship, which weighed more than seven hundred tons. And it was fashionable to add iron armor to key positions on the hull. What kind of steam engine technology is used to allow this ship to run at a cruising speed of twenty-three or four knots.

The weapons that are also equipped on it......

In this day and age, navigation is still too dangerous. Monsters in the sea, and pirates. Almost all of the ships had weapons on them.

On this steamship, a steam cannon is loaded. But it was two twenty-four-pound cannons. The firing range is about 2,500 meters. It's quite powerful.

There were also several steam crossbows with a range of up to five hundred meters. The power is passable.

Of course, this is still a merchant ship, at most an armed merchant ship. The firepower is actually average. There's not much to see!

The other sailing ship has a displacement of about 1,000 tons. However, the ship. Liu Yi is not very eye-catching.

After Liu Yi saw the ship, he didn't say much. According to Remegogall's estimates. It's only about 18,000 to be able to take down such a ship. It's even cheaper.

But seeing that Liu Yi did not speak. Knowing that for this ship is not too satisfied.

The steam ships commanded by Xu Yi and Li Fang also had at least a displacement of more than 1,200 tons. It's almost half the size of the one in front of me.

Seeing that Lewis was not satisfied with the ship, Remygonagall and the others were even more happy. I also feel a heavy responsibility.

At that moment, he took Liu Yi to the factory area and watched the docks of various shipyards.

There are all kinds of ships in it, and some of them have already been built. However, because of the bankruptcy of the original owner, he could not pay the final payment, so he could only park in the dock.

However, more. But for the same reason. It was only halfway through the construction of the ship, and the work was stopped.

Leo Yi had his eye on a few quite good ships, however, although he said that he wanted to buy them. But he can still take out dozens or hundreds of gold coins on him.

If you really take out tens of thousands of gold coins to buy a boat, then unless you can only go to Xu Yi and others for help.

On the contrary, these days. The spread of the plague intensified, and people began to die in the otherwise safe urban areas.

An uneasy commotion. It began to spread throughout the city.

On this day, after Lewy looked at the ship. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person coughing among the guards left behind in the shipyard. Suddenly, black blood spurted out.

The people around were stunned, and then one by one they frantically ducked. Let this man lie on the ground, vomiting blood. Even spasms.

All of a sudden, even Trek and Ray McGonagall were changing color. They are no strangers to this situation. It was some kind of plague that had recently been prevalent.

Just as they pinched their noses and hurriedly dodged, Liu Yi strode over.

Trek's legs went limp. "Boss, boss." Don't pass, that's the plague ......"

Liu Yi looked back and smiled: "Don't worry about me, I'm a doctor." ”

I went over to check on the patient's condition, and I was slightly frightened. The man vomited black blood and, apparently, his internal organs were damaged.

This plague seems to be three points more powerful than I imagined.

He pretended to take out a pill from his bosom and gave it to the man.

However, actually. However, he used a trace of divine power in the divine pool to swim around the patient's body.

Many things that were invisible to the naked eye, those black breaths were driven into the air.

After a while, the patient was wheezing violently like a cow. However, he no longer vomited blood.

"How's it going, boss......"

After all, Leo Yi is the big benefactor of Cui Ke and the others, so they have to be bold to come and check it out.

He fainted. Liu Yi said lightly: "But I can't die anymore......"

The two of them were suspicious and looked at the patient lying on the ground motionless. And some believe.

You know, even if a person who gets this plague spits black blood from his mouth, he will not die immediately. I often have to toss for two or three days, and the pain before death is extreme, and the appearance after death is also quite terrifying.

Anyway, now this guy is quiet. It shouldn't have been a sudden death.

At this moment, someone pointed to the sea and shouted: "Look, look......"

There was nothing surprising that there were dark shadows of many ships in the sky.

Everyone knows that Myron is a big port. Even if Rush is lost, it is still very prosperous. I don't know how many boats come and go every day.

This fleet, however, is different. There was a large number of seabirds gathered in the sky like dark clouds.

Such a strange situation makes anyone know that something is wrong just by looking at it.

An old worker shouted, "Could it be a ghost ship?"

It seems that everyone has thought of something. His face became extremely ugly.

Liu Yi's head turned, and he also thought of what they were afraid of.

Afraid that so many seabirds would gather over the fleet, but all the people on board were dead. It's densely packed with corpses, that's why so many seabirds gather to peck at it?

The fleet was quite large, numbering in the hundreds. However, there were only sailing ships, but no steamboats.

Fortunately, the appearance of these ships is very familiar. It's Leein's style. I followed the current and floated towards the nearby waters.

The strange fleet had apparently been seen in the distant harbor as well, and it seemed to be dispatching warships. Be prepared to be tempted.

"Look, look......" In the shipyard, a guy with a telescope shouted, "Isn't that ship, isn't it the God Bless My King, how can it be here......

As soon as the word spread, there was a dead silence all around. Liu Yi saw fear on the faces of everyone around him.

"What's going on?" asked Lew.

Naturally, he could see clearly that in the distance of the fleet, there was a particularly large sailing ship. Almost all of them are three or four thousand tons.

It is hard to imagine that a ship that uses purely wind power would have such tonnage. Therefore, the appearance of this ship is a very eye-catching thing. Come to think of it, this ship will also be very famous.

"It's a battleship, and it's lost to Rush...... It's been more than half a year. God, are there all those devils on this fleet......"

Presumably, the ports in the distance also saw something, and reacted quickly.

More than a dozen warships, all billowing smoke, went to intercept them.

However, in the sky above the fleet, countless seabirds seemed to be alarmed, quacked and screamed, and then rushed towards the harbor like sharp arrows. For a while, it was overwhelming, almost like a dark cloud blocking the sun.

But at this moment, a golden light shot out from a church somewhere in the city.

Then he saw a knight in gold armor, holding a great sword, blocking the front of these seabirds.

He waved the sword in his hand and raised his shield aloft, emitting a golden light that blocked the dark clouds.

However, one by one, the seabirds shot like sharp arrows. Crashing into the golden light, there was a chirp, and the flesh exploded, and the feathers flew out.

"It's the Knight of the Gods......"

The people cheered, as if sensing something. One by one, they cheered and prayed.

The strange fleet below, from beginning to end, did not say a word. Even followed the wind and flowed directly into the warship.

"Boom ......" all the warships began to open fire, bombing these ships. For a while, the planks flew wildly.

The fleet, which had strangely returned from Rush, had not moved at all from beginning to end. Let the warships in Myron Harbor bombard indiscriminately.

As a result, many merchant ships parked in the harbor suddenly became emboldened. They drove out one after another, helping the battleships, pouring fire on the strange fleet.

This inexplicable war lasted almost until dusk.

With the sinking of the last strange ship, the battleship and the merchant ship that helped returned satisfied.

And the knight in the middle of the air only took less than half an hour. It had swept away all the birds in the air, but there was no half left. (To be continued......)
