The book is updated in real time du⑤⒏m??⑤???? This book is updated from the Battle of 554 Winter Veil (5)

Not long ago, Socutus Delan's ship, who was going to negotiate, slowly turned to come back from the front.

She stood on the side of the ship and waited, the purple dress fluttering in the wind,

There are two more nobles on her right,

One of the handsome young men in a well-fitting and straight gown was talking attentively beside Socutus Delan,

His face glows with excitement,

Obviously, this young man did not expect to meet Socutus Delan’s level of beauty nv in the vast ocean,

And it seems to be the leader of this merchant fleet,

This is simply a windfall,

If this nv person can be included in the house, isn't it the same as getting these dozens of merchant ships?

Such wealth is enough for oneself to gain greater respect in the family,

With a strong family background, he has defined his action as "hunting yan" in his heart

It’s just that he doesn’t know,

This is because of the background of the "yansè" he thinks he can be sure of it. Even his father would be terrified.

Beside the young nobleman, is a middle-aged nobleman with a sturdy figure,

Wearing long clothes of Mo sè, wearing a feather hat that can only be worn by the captain on his head, a pair of sharp eyes looks at the fleet in front of him from time to time

Different from the young man next to him who only has nv people in his eyes,

His eyes are more swept back and forth on the getting closer and closer to the fleet,

Thirty merchant ships have lined up three sloping lines at this moment, the first is the 6 largest merchant ships, and the middle is 12 medium-sized merchant ships.

At the end are twelve small transport ships, like three long buoys, floating up and down quietly with the sea,

This kind of weird arrangement made this knowledgeable middle-aged captain clenched his fists, twisted his eyebrows into a ball, his face became more and more solemn,

He regrets a bit now that he would listen to rumors to stop this fleet,

This layout of the opponent has obvious military colors,

Only in the Vikya Navy have heard of this linear attack arrangement.

If I hadn't had a few friends serving in the navy, I might have ignored them too

This is not a good phenomenon. If the opponent is not a navy ship, there must be a naval officer in this fleet."

Thinking that his goal might have something to do with the Navy, the face of this middle-aged captain is slightly white,

There is a slight bitter taste in my mouth, this time I hit the iron plate

The power of the navy may not be obvious relative to the well-known 6th armies of Vijayach,

But in this sea area, the authority of the navy is supreme.

They defeated Dylans, fought against Dexihai in blood, and proved with their powerful strength, who is the real master of this world

If the Navy wants to pursue this matter, it only needs a small notice, and it will let itself have no hiding place in this sea.

"Get on the boat, my master wants you to pay attention to your words when you speak"

The ship leaned against each other, Socutus Delan waved impatiently,

The pretty snow-white face is full of icy sè, for this young nobleman who talks in his ears and is self-righteous,

If he hadn't considered his father's identity, he would have kicked him off the ship's side a long time ago. I would remind him out of professional instinct.

"Of course, I will not embarrass the beautiful lady. As long as we can make the lady happy, we are not completely unkind"

The young nobleman's face was stunned for a moment, and then another touch of joy appeared,

He thought that Socutus Delan was interesting to him, and after a pretentious gesture, he walked onto the baffle between the two ships tremblingly.

Seeing the timidity of the young nobleman, Socutus Delan frowned.

The middle-aged captain next to him walked up to the baffle very nervously.

Just as he was about to jump off the deck of the ship, his body suddenly trembled,

Keen eyes, have just caught something that scares him,

On the decks of some of the opponent’s ships, he saw a squad of ship-borne soldiers waiting in battle, wearing heavy black armor,

Wearing a standard armor that only regular Vikia infantry can have,

This kind of thing will never appear in the merchant fleet,

On the high platforms of some ship decks, the outlines of several arc-shaped weapons are vaguely seen,

It's a huge weapon several meters long, with its long curved handle carrying a chilling horror, and the shining long crossbow arrow, lying quietly on it,

The middle-aged captain knows that it is called a heavy crossbow,

The reloaded knight whose power can pass through meters away, is a high-level killer that is forbidden in the Vekia army.

The custody of it can be described as strict. It is said that the price of a heavy crossbow has reached 10,000 gold coins in the black market.

It’s hard to buy even this way,

Because these heavy weapons have their own numbers, they are not only protected by heavy soldiers, but they are also checked every two days.

There have also been incidents of the disappearance of a heavy ballista,

It is said that the order was made by the Grand Duke himself. Not only were several officers responsible for custody being punished, but also the local underground forces were bloodbathed like thunder.

As long as the people who appeared in the local underground forces at that time, no matter what the situation is, they will all be caught in jail,

Within three days, if the missing ballista cannot be found, all will be executed for treason,

The roads along the way are strictly checked, and finally in a small river not far from the location of the stolen, the heavy ballista that has been smashed is fished out.

From now on, no one dares to touch these "prohibited items" again,

Because everyone knows that if you have money, you don’t have a life. Everything is a white tower.

If you want to ship these contraband through the Wikiya domestic commerce line, they will be checked out immediately when loading the truck,

All places for loading vehicles must have the inspection stamp of the trading office.

Even if everything goes smoothly, it is difficult to pass through the various defense lines of the border, and after leaving the country, it will not let out a little wind,

That's just gambling the life of the whole family

After receiving the famous post from Socutus Delan, the fat man finally understood why Socutus Delan brought these two people back.

He Ruiler is one of the twelve deacons of the business alliance, mainly responsible for the export trade to the southwestern sea area, and ranks fourth in the business alliance.

With the rise of ocean power, Horelle’s position becomes more important,

In general, this Horelle has a pretty good character.

Having a certain credibility among merchants is the representative of the early Samor era, when Octavia felt that the age was great, and took the initiative to transform from a nobleman to a merchant,

Have a very good vision in ocean trade,

To use the current term is to bet,

This is also the reason why Fatty appointed him as the head of Southwest Sea Trade,

Right and wrong are things that cannot be distinguished, and some are only whether they are intentional

It is impossible for an old-fashioned clique to make ocean trade a powerful economic pillar for trade in the future,

Only a leader who dares to fight and fight can be achieved,

This person must first have the same vision and courage, and have a grand reputation, Horelle is undoubtedly the best candidate,

Just at the deacon meeting last month, this Horelle made a proposal that fits the fat man’s heart.

"Ship leasing method"

In order to facilitate the transformation of some mainland businessmen to Haimao Xun,

He Ruiler proposed to the business alliance that one-fifth of the quarterly ocean trade profits should be given to the official shipyard to build ships, and then leased to the sī people.

The merchant only needs a deposit of 3,000 gold coins to get a ship that can cross the Southern Strait.

If the principal and interest can be paid off within three years, the ship will be its own,

The interest is a bit heavy, reaching 50%,

But for both parties, it is undoubtedly a beneficial attempt. Even if it can’t be paid off within 3 years, it won’t lose much if the trade income is included.

This method is a bit similar to the development funds in the later company system, and the funds are used to roll the funds.

It is undoubtedly extremely appropriate to promote more merchants to invest in ocean trade at this stage,

The cost of an ordinary merchant ship is more than 10,000 gold coins,

If it is a large merchant ship, the minimum cost is more than 30,000 gold coins. For many small and medium-sized merchants, this is a number that is hard to expect.

With this method, you can meet, and the entire southern waters of Vikia will become the busiest commercial area in the entire Greater Sixth,

Of course, in the eyes of the fat man, this is a big strategy,

What he sees is not the profit of ocean trade, but the regional impact it produces,

More than ten large and small cities along the coast, as well as about one-third of the population of Vicia, will benefit from this strategy,

Intensive business contacts will expand this area into a huge business district, which is enough to add another level of motivation to the already strong Vikia rear

"Who are you from Horelle?" The fat man raised his head and asked,

Since the two got on the ship, a young man was dumbfounded when he saw Mona Qing, opened his small mouth, couldn't close her mouth, and was obviously shocked by the beauty of Mona Qing.

The other middle-aged captain was sweating like rain, his face was ugly purple, it seemed that he was aware of something,

For the frivolity of the young man next to him, the middle-aged captain also wanted to kick his feet violently,

I can’t tell even the most basic situation, and I don’t know why Master Horelles sent such a second generation ancestor to preside over this matter.

The middle-aged captain scolded secretly

The house is about to burn down here, this master is still in his dream, can't he see ~ IndoMTL.com~ These nv people simply dismiss him?

This shows that in the eyes of the other party, the Horelle family is not in the eyes at all.

If the nv guy just now gave people a sense of arrogance, the fat guy in front of me would look even more terrifying,

Looking at yourself is like a sharp blade, giving people a kind of scorching coldness,

Although the words are not tepid, but this kind of talent is the most terrifying, his face is indifferent, he seems to see everything,

Calling one's own master's name is as casual as calling a servant of a little bit of status,

This is the performance of a real big man

"I, we are the second team of Lord Horelle"

The middle-aged captain did not dare to breathe, looked at the fat man, boldly said.

"We are hereby ordered to investigate a batch of sī goods. Our workers in the port report that there are prohibited items in your fleet"
