Chapter 165: sailing preparation

  Chapter 165 Preparations for sailing

  In Yi Village, Qu Mao still commanded Sir Mrak to go out hunting with a team of high-level fighters every day, and he would not waste the opportunity to summon A Ke or Xiang Yu to increase the cheat value.

However, Mingang Village is busy day and night, and sailors and freemen are constantly being hired, including Maffei Trani and his little friends who have been converted to freemen, and the village entrusted by Mingang Village to build them for them. Tier 1 dwellings, and each person is allocated 10 units of poor-quality cultivated land.

  In fact, Su Yan’s preferential treatment to them is not limited to these. After becoming a free citizen, Su Yan continued to hire them to carry materials from the civilian dock to the sea ship, and the salary was higher than when she was a leader.

In fact, Yi Village and Fisherman Village are continuing to use horse-drawn carts to transport animal skins and blank rune stones to Mingang Village. The final statistics surprised everyone. The number is as many as 323,000.

This means that after Qu Mao came to Yi Island, he has killed at least 323,000 beasts so far. Thanks to the fact that the beasts on Yi Island are refreshed at fixed points, if it is under the laws of nature, the beasts on Yi Island may have been killed long ago. extinct.

  Of course, the specifications of the 323,000 pieces of animal skins are not uniform. There are rabbit skins, wolf skins, tiger skins, leopard skins, deer skins, bear skins, and elephant skins. Almost all the beasts on Yi Island have been killed.

   In addition, there are 150,000 units of blank rune stones, which were extracted by Su Yan from the warehouse of the territory, and all were transported to the small village of Mingang by horse-drawn carriage, and then hired by the leaders to transport them to sea ships.

   It’s not that the current five heroes in Yi Island in the territory of Yi Village don’t have the conditions to use backpacks to carry blank rune stones, the main reason is that Su Yan insists on using a carriage.

Because it costs some money to hire carriages, coachmen, and porters, but it can coincide with Su Yan's ongoing action of converting people from citizens to free people. Opportunities are always more attractive than going back and digging 10 units of poor-quality arable land.

Counting Su Yan's income from selling explosives and props for several consecutive days, the number of gold coins in Yicun's territorial account finally exceeded 4,000, so Qu Mao did not force himself to open all or part of the 328 treasure chests before departure , Wait until the cheating points are accumulated enough in the future, and then open another wave.

   The speed of cheating is not fast recently, which is the core reason why Qu Mao is reluctant to open the treasure chest.

  The current cheating value is not enough to change the quality of all the items in the treasure chests, so it is better not to open them.

  As for the materials to be shipped, it is not clear whether Qu Mao will be able to sell them at that time, and even the price is not very clear.

Qu Mao can only refer to the prices in the product catalog provided by Lai Dima. For example, after Lai Dima discounts various rune stones for himself, they are basically 16 silver coins per unit, so the selling price of blank rune stones must be within this range. within the price.

  If one unit can be sold for 10 silver coins, then 150,000 units of blank rune stones can also be sold for 15,000 gold. After Qu Mao came to this world, he has never seen gold coins with a unit of 10,000.

As for the 323,000 animal skins, Qu Mao thought silently, if he could sell them at an average price of 8 silver coins each, he would be able to earn almost 25,000 gold coins, adding up to a total of 40,000 gold coins. I have all the gold coins, and even have some spare money to pay back Su Yan's money.

The candidates have already been determined. In the first wave, Qu Mao himself, Sunan, Maffei Trani and his friends will bring 4,000 gold coins. In fact, Qu Mao also has more than 500 gold coins in his personal backpack, which is equivalent to saying There will be a total of 4500 gold coins.

  These gold coins are mainly used to purchase female and male citizens, and other materials needed by the Yi Village territory. Of course, in order to confirm the identity of the noble caravan of the Mughal Empire, it may be necessary to prepare a small amount of gold coins to purchase some sea salt and other materials.

The 323,000 animal skins are not all the animal skins in the territory of Yi Village, because the early residents basically distributed two animal skins as quilts, and after buying daily necessities, Qu Mao did not recycle them and send them out. of animal skins.

  In addition, even though Mingang Village is busy day and night, the hunting activities in the territory of Yi Village are still going on, and besides, Chafidel's hunting activities on outlying islands have not stopped either.

Besides, it will take at least three to five days to go to Yancheng and back. During this time, Sir Mrak, Wang Ping, and Zhao Pan will still hunt on Yidao, and a team hunts dozens or even hundreds of animals a day. There is no problem with wild beasts. If it is not possible, hunting the Elephant Valley once a day will do.

   Killed beast carcasses will naturally obtain animal meat and complete animal hides by using the system to decompose them. It is equivalent to at least several hundred units of perfect animal skins entering the account every day.

   Qu Mao handed over all the 4,000 gold coins that Su Yan had withdrawn from Yi Village's territory account to Sunan, which made Sunan feel uneasy and insisted on letting Qu Mao put away the 3,000 gold coins in his backpack.

  Su Yan told Qu Mao that the delivery of 4,000 gold coins to Sunan is controlled by the system. If Qu Mao puts it in his backpack, the system will default to the lord's transfer between accounts in the territory and will not be monitored by the system.

  But Sunan refused to take 4,000 gold coins, so Qu Mao had no choice but to give Sunan only 1,000 gold coins, and put the rest in his backpack.

  After all, Yancheng Port Coastal Defense Battalion Commander Jack Twain still needs to get some gold coins, and it is impossible for Sunan to have no gold coins at all.

  Qu Mao and Sunan each took a copy of the purchase list issued by Su Yan. In the future, Su Qiaoer's second wave will also get a copy.

   After all, it takes nearly four months to go back and forth to Yancheng. The materials needed should be purchased as much as possible at one time. For example, the candles purchased by Qu Mao last time did not last for four months.

   During the entire preparation time for departure, Qu Mao will not only go to the forest outside Yi Village to summon A Ke and Xiang Yu to brush up cheat points, but also patrol the small fishermen's village and the small port of Mingang.

   The salt farm in the small fisherman village has been able to produce sea salt stably, but it is impossible to bring the sea salt to Yancheng for sale. Yancheng itself is famous for producing sea salt, and the sea salt from the territory of Yi Village will definitely not be sold in Yancheng.

   Even in order to prove his status as an aristocratic merchant of the Mughal Empire, Qu Mao had to purchase some sea salt from Yancheng Port every time.

Next time, I must ask Lai Dima to purchase more sea-going ships, so that every five sea-going ships will go to Yancheng every other week. As long as there are enough sea-going ships, it means that we can barely establish a periodic connection with Yancheng. up.

  Of course, Qu Mao also knows that he can’t completely rely on Yancheng, and try to find a way to open up routes to other cities, otherwise, no matter how good the other conditions are, the Yicun territory will not be able to develop.
