Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

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 leaders. As for the army, Qu Mao thinks that the leaders are more reliable.

It was 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, anchored 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, at dusk that 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 notification, Jack Twain went to the pier to meet him in person, and once again assigned 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, you are cheating on me again, aren't you?

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 take vacations. After they became free citizens, the sailors had money on hand. According to the practice on the Continent, the sailors were on vacation 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 Traney suspiciously, for Maffei Traney's golden hair stood out.

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, that's really good.

This time we may have to make a lot of purchases, especially young and beautiful female slaves. In our Mughal Empire, female slaves in Yancheng are very sought-after..."

Jack Twain smiled knowingly and 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 for the time and place of dinner, he rented a carriage and headed to Yancheng.

When they arrived 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, and went door to door to order some supplies, including furniture, tools, and seeds.

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

Jerry Chen smiled until his eyes narrowed, and said, "Sir, don't say you transported it twice, you can take it away ten times, and the villain will handle it properly for you.

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 said with a smile: "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, two more gold coins are equivalent to 30% of the advance payment. 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 some fruit tree seedlings, grain seeds, living tools, pasture seeds, and it doesn't cost much.

But books, the villain will help you purchase 300 volumes first. "

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, just watch, if you don't have enough money, tell me directly. 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, "Sir, 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're nothing valuable."

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 dozens of copper coins to dozens of 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 sold 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: "My lord, 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.

Let the villain 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 port of Yancheng. The villain will or this afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon, I will take the businessman to negotiate with the adults."

Qu Mao nodded.
