Chapter 166: to Yancheng

  Chapter 166 Return to Yancheng

In the territory of Yi Village, it took five days to load and prepare the five ships to Yancheng. Finally, when they were ready, Qu Mao selected 20 sailors with a loyalty of more than 80% for each ship, and transferred them to free folk.

At the same time, 10 first-tier sailors, 5 second-tier ship shooters, and two third-tier jumping soldiers were prepared on each sea ship. For a long time, the navy in the territory of Yi Village has also accumulated a certain number, including 71 first-tier sailors. , 36 second-tier boat shooters, and 17 third-tier jumping soldiers.

  At present, the army in the territory of Yi Village, except for the third-tier princess guards, most of which are composed of free citizens, the rest of the troops are all composed of citizens. As for the army, Qu Mao thinks that the leaders are more reliable.

This early in the morning, even the dawn did not come out, probably around 4 o'clock in the morning, Qu Mao, Sunan, and Maffei Trani, who was dragged out of the library, used the lighthouse's micro Light, anchor and set sail, headed for Yancheng.

  The wind direction has changed recently, and the trip to Yancheng is not completely smooth. Qu Mao doesn't know how long it will take to get to Yancheng.

  After sailing for a full day, in the evening of the same day, before the sun completely disappeared on the sea level and the afterglow of the setting sun was completely swallowed by darkness, the fleet led by Qu Mao finally arrived at Yancheng Port.

  After the semaphore was announced, Jack Twain personally went to the pier to greet him, and again allocated the No. 3 pier to Qu Mao's fleet.

After disembarking, Sunan quietly took out 10 gold coins, without even preparing the bag of gold coins, and directly stuffed them into Jack Twain's hands quietly. Sunan smiled and said, "Commander Jack, it's getting late today, and tomorrow night I I would like to invite you to dinner, but I wonder if you would like to honor me?"

  Jack Twain stuffed the gold coin into his belt calmly, and said, "Brother Qu Sheng, are you cheating on me again?

  We are all brothers, how polite are you?

  You have been wandering at sea for more than two months, of course I invite you, my brother, to clean up the dust for you. Don't be polite, if you are polite, you don't treat me as a brother, see you tomorrow night. "

   Qu Mao arranged for the sailors on the five ships to have a holiday. After they became free citizens, the sailors had money on hand. According to the practice on the Continent, the sailors had a holiday and the ships were guarded by the navy.

  As for Maffei Trani and his four little friends, Qu Mao gave them a vacation and allowed them to return to their own homes. Qu Mao did not make mandatory requirements whether the whole family moved to Yi Island.

   Jack Twain looked at Maffei Trani with some doubts, because Maffei Traney's golden hair was very conspicuous.

Qu Mao came over and said, "Commander Jack, I have to thank you for selling these five slaves to me last time, they are considered good talents. I have already appointed him as my brother Qu Sheng's assistant, mainly on the road to Yancheng Wire."

  Jack Twain smiled triumphantly, and said: "My lord, the slaves sold to you by the villain are of good quality. If you need more, the villain will catch you again."

   Qu Mao also laughed a few times, and said, "Commander Jack, it's really good.

  I’m afraid we have to purchase a lot this time, especially young and beautiful female slaves. In our Mughal Empire, female slaves in Yancheng are very sought-after..."

  Jack Twain smiled knowingly, rolled his eyes a few times, but Qu Mao and Sunan had already said goodbye to him and walked towards the inn in Yancheng Port.

  The next day, after Sunan made an appointment with Jack Twain about the time and place for dinner, he rented a carriage and headed to Yancheng.

   Arriving in Yancheng, Sunan took Qu Mao around again, and came to a hidden material storage point. Qu Mao moved all the materials in the hidden material storage point into his backpack.

   Then Qu Mao and Sunan took the small cards left to Qu Mao by the suppliers last time, went door to door and ordered some supplies, including furniture, tools and seeds.

  In the grocery store, Qu Mao had a good chat with the owner of the grocery store, Jerry Chen, and entrusted Jerry Chen to purchase some general-purpose iron tools.

  Jerry Chen smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, and said, "Sir, don't say you transported it twice, you can do it for you even if you divide it ten times.

  The first batch of iron tools, the villain will help you purchase and deliver them to Pier No. 3 at the latest in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and ship them for you free of charge. "

   Qu Mao smiled and said: "Okay, thank you in advance.

  Jerry, if we cooperate happily, there will be more cooperation opportunities in the future. "

  Jerry Chen smiled and said, "My lord, the amount of goods you purchased this time is relatively high. I wonder if my lord can increase the advance payment by 10%?"

   Qu Mao didn't think about it, so he took out two gold coins and said, "In addition to the down payment, I will give you two more gold coins, which means that 30% of the advance payment has been paid. Jerry, there are no other problems this time, right?"

  Jerry Chen took the gold coin and said quickly: "Master, enough is enough, please rest assured. The villain will never delay your shipment.

  The purchased materials are very cheap, nothing more than fruit tree seedlings, grain seeds, living tools, pasture seeds, and they don’t cost much.

   It’s books, let’s buy 300 copies for you first. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Okay, just watch, tell me directly if you don't have enough money. But I hope the speed is fast, because our second fleet will arrive in a week.

  By the way, I might come up with some goods this time, I wonder if Jerry knows where to sell them..."

  Jerry Chen's eyes suddenly became cautious again, and he said, "My lord, what kind of goods do you want to sell? Let's see if the villain can help you."

   Qu Mao smiled and said, "It's just some animal skins and some blank rune stones, they are not valuable things."

  Jerry Chen said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Of course, if there are not many adults, villains are easy to deal with.

  Animal skins mainly depend on the size of the animal skins. They are sold in batches in Yancheng, and the price ranges from a few dozen copper coins to a few dozen silver coins. If there are only a few gold coins, a villain can eat an adult's.

   But if the quantity is large, I am afraid that no one will be able to eat it for a while. "

  Qu Mao thought for a while and said, "Jerry, what if I sell you dozens of copper coins for each animal skin on average? Do you consider taking it? There are only more than 300,000 pieces!"

  Jerry Chen was shocked at first, and then said bitterly: "Master, I don't have enough money, unless we mobilize funds from other cities, but it will take at least a month to go back and forth.

  The villain should help you find another home. "

   Qu Mao smiled and said: "It's fine, if the quantity is less in the future, I'll sell it to you."

Jerry Chen's eyes lit up again, and he said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for taking care of the villain. I have to find a blank rune stone. The villain has to go to the Magic Union to buy it. Please wait at the Yancheng Port. The villain will leave this afternoon or Tomorrow afternoon, I will take the businessman to negotiate with the adults."

   Qu Mao nodded.
