Chapter 167 The Kindness of Jack Twain

In Yancheng, it took only half a day for Qu Maohe and Sunan to evacuate a hidden material storage point that Sunan had arranged in Yancheng in the early days. Qu Mao also reached an agreement with Jerry Chen, the owner of the grocery store, to purchase and sell on behalf of the company. It's just that Jerry Chen couldn't eat the first shipment, so he had to find other merchants to negotiate with Qu Mao.

   Qu Mao estimated that even if some intermediate fees were deducted, the 323,000 animal skins and 150,000 units of blank runestones loaded in the five ships that came to Yancheng in the first wave should be exchanged for gold coins.

At noon, Qu Mao and Sunan had lunch at a restaurant in Yancheng, and then Sunan and Qu Mao split up. Sunan was going to find a way to contact the black market military camp that recruited the third-tier princess guards and interview substitute fighters. Accompanied by Sanjietiao's helpers, he purchased some other supplies in Yancheng.

  These materials are not in Su Yan's purchase list, such as candles, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. Of course, Qu Mao doesn't mind buying books he likes and putting them in the zero-level library of Yi Village.

   Jerry Chen did accept the task of purchasing 300 books from Qu Mao on behalf of Qu Mao, but Qu Mao still wanted to go shopping by himself. The cheating system clearly reminded Maffei Trani to bring back some trade-related books.

The zero-level library of Yi Village is currently used as a cheating tool, and it comes with 10 books, which also include trade, but Qu Mao thinks it is too simple, it is just a very thin book, and you can buy more, or it can speed up Maffei’s progress. The speed at which Trani becomes a hero.

   Qu Mao wandered around Yancheng for more than three hours, and the last two third-rank jumping soldiers were covered with bags. Qu Maocai rented a carriage at the south gate of Yancheng and returned to Yancheng Port Station.

In the evening, Jack Twain asked Sunan and Qu Mao to eat seafood porridge at a famous seafood restaurant in Yancheng Port. Qu Mao naturally did not mind building a good relationship with Jack Twain, an officer of the coastal defense garrison in Yancheng Port. It was the first time in Yancheng At that time, Qu Mao rejected Jack Twain's first invitation in the spirit of a nobleman. If he refused again, he might have to pay the price of alienation.

   What's more, it was Jack Twain who took the initiative to invite Sunan and Qu Mao to drink this time, which meant to convey further goodwill to Qu Mao and Sunan.

  After thirty days of wine and delicious dishes, Jack Twain made it clear that he wanted to provide slaves for Qu Mao's caravan.

Qu Mao thought for a while, and said to Jack Twain: "Commander Jack, to tell the truth, I got great praise from my trip to Yancheng last time. Our caravan also added five sea-going ships, and the other five sea-going ships. The ship will be here in about a week.

  In the future, the line in Yancheng will be handled more by my brother Qu Sheng. You can communicate with my brother more.

  I originally planned to purchase a large number of slaves this time, but it was only because someone in the same family was doing this business and made a lot of money, so my brother suggested that I try it. "

  Jack Twain's eyes became more greedy when he heard Qu Mao's words, and he toasted Sunan a few more glasses of wine, and then said to Qu Mao: "My lord, you don't know.

  Yancheng has experienced wars, and the new ruler has not completely wiped out the remnants of the old dynasty. Even in Yancheng on the border, mob riots occur from time to time, and the city lord is very troublesome.

  The remnants of the original Liusu Principality often rioted, but the city lord often countered the rebellion and arrested a large number of mobs. But these mobs are not easy to deal with after they are caught.

   Killing it directly will damage the benevolent image of the city lord, the Maple Leaf Kingdom, and the city lord; put it back, and it will rebel soon, which is really a headache. "

Sunan quickly said: "Commander Jack, the slaves my brother wants to purchase must serve the upper class after all. Female slaves are required to be dignified, beautiful, young, and better able to read and write; Strong and strong, with a straight face, and the price is easy to negotiate."

Jack Twain probably drank a few more glasses of wine, so he laughed and said, "Brother Qu Sheng, as long as you like people in Yancheng, I can definitely get them for you, and the price must be cheaper than the market. But the nobles are not here. Within the scope, it mainly refers to civilians.

  Because our supply of goods does not cost a penny, we only need some physical strength from the army.

  You can also rest assured about the source of goods, they are all children from good families, ordinary civilians.

How about this, brother, I have a one-off price, female slaves between the ages of 15 and 22, one gold coin; young male slaves between the ages of 15 and 25, one gold coin and 50 silver coins, absolutely no adulteration In this age range, what do the Qu Sheng brothers think?

   Not only that, brother, I can also give you 15 boatmen. You have been sailing on the sea for a long time, and it will definitely be of great benefit to bring 15 boatmen with you. "

  Su Nan and Qu Mao looked at each other, Qu Mao couldn't accept this kind of business, and wanted to leave with an excuse, but Sunan held Qu Mao's robe under the table.

  "Brother Jack, I am really moved by the 15 boatmen, but only to catch the boatmen, we want them to wholeheartedly repair the boat for us. It may take some time, and we are afraid that they will make trouble at sea.

  Even with a whip, it is not appropriate to kill a few people. Is there a way to let them work with peace of mind? "Su Nan pretended to be embarrassed and said.

  Jack Twain waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Qu Sheng is still too kind. Brother said he would send 15 boatmen if he said he would send 15 boatmen, including their families. It is nothing.

   Their families are all on board and sure don't dare mess around so you don't have to worry. "

"Wonderful, my brother can use an excuse to be a good person." Sunan nodded again and again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he handed another money bag to Jack Twain, "Brother Jack, the shuttle boat purchased last time was good. As a brother, I will purchase five more shuttle boats from you. This is a deposit.

  Seven days later, after the second fleet arrives, I have to purchase five shuttle boats from you, brother.

  The day after tomorrow my brother has to return early, and I will wait in Yancheng for the next batch of ships to purchase the goods before leaving together.

   When will your goods be ready? In order to ensure profits, my brother returns the day after tomorrow and plans to bring about a thousand people back. After all, slaves are more profitable than sea salt. "

  Jack Twain laughed loudly and said, "Brother Qu Sheng, don't worry, brother, I will definitely get you about a thousand slaves in one day and one night. I hope we can continue to cooperate for a long time."

   Qu Mao nodded in embarrassment, with a smile uglier than crying.

  Su Nan was very familiar with this kind of thing, and soon discussed the details with Jack Twain, only to pay the deposit.

   After dinner, Sunan and Jack Twain held hands tightly, and the two sides reached a verbal cooperation agreement.

  That night, when Qu Mao and Sunan were sleeping in the inn, they vaguely heard the sound of a large number of troops mobilizing from the streets of Yancheng Port. They asked the innkeeper, and it turned out that the Yancheng Port Coastal Defense Force had started counterinsurgency operations again.
