Lord of Rot

Chapter 271

"My lord, you can leave this matter to me." Denis said proactively, "I will go to Porcupine Collar this month, and I can bring them there together."

"Thank you so much!"

Naturally, Li Qi didn't need to go in person to buy corn. Denis appointed one of his little apprentices to leave with the little girl, and he would come back to inform Li Qi of the purchase result after the purchase was finished.

Naturally, the few people's wandering in Donggang City couldn't be interrupted by such a trivial matter, although Li Qi really wanted to see the amount of corn with his own eyes.

If there is enough corn for him to plant in April, and when the next 4 slaves arrive, he won't have to worry too much about the food.

Li Qixin said: "New fields need to be cultivated, and to feed more people, we must expand the scale of wine making, textiles, and honey."

Among them, the scale expansion of honey is estimated to be the simplest, because Akeke's order is higher than that of the queen bee, and even multiple queen bees can coexist. As long as Li Qi gives an order, the queen bee can produce unlimited madness.

The limitation of winemaking comes from food, but the population is a trivial matter.

A little girl holds an iron basin full of oysters.

"and many more!"

Denis stopped her: "Give me some oysters in sour vinegar."

"Yes, my lord"

The little girl put down the iron basin, took out a knife and skillfully pried open the oyster shell, then took off the vinegar bag around her waist, and poured a little on the meat.

The sour vinegar mixed with lemon flavor makes people salivate.

Deni handed an oyster to Li Qi, Li Qi waved his hand lightly: "Sorry, I don't eat raw food."

Although his physique was extraordinary, Li Qi didn't want to swallow the parasites.

The level of medical care in this world is very low.

"That's really a pity," said Hawkwood, who had just received the oysters, "I can't eat such good things in the Three Forks River. I can only eat river mussels."

He enjoyed pouring oyster meat with sour vinegar into his mouth.

Deni put the copy that was handed to Li Qi into his own mouth, and said with a smile in a special tone: "For a man, this is a treasure."

Hawkwood laughed: "Hahahaha!"

After Denis paid, they moved on.

Deni introduced: "In front is the port of East Harbor City."

Li Qi looked at the huge port ahead, and his heart beat slightly faster.

At present, Porcupine Collar can at most build a dock for two ships to dock, but there are more than a dozen such docks in Donggang City, which is still visible.

It is estimated that there will be more than a dozen or even dozens of piers in other directions.

Most of the ships from the eastern, northern and southern coastal areas of the Lurea continent will pass here.

Flags of various colors and symbols are planted on the ship.

Some are from a noble family, some are the emblem of a chamber of commerce, and some may be a pirate.

There are many people who get on and off the ship to carry goods.

Noisy and messy.

The weather has not yet turned warm, but some people have taken off their shirts because of hard work, and they are covered in sweat.

"I can only belong to a medium-sized businessman in Donggang City," Denis said. "I just have a few ships of my own and a few caravans of my own, but I can't compare with those big businessmen."

It is true that only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know the horror of Donggang City. Deni, who can spend thousands of gold days, is really not a big businessman here.

Not to mention the tax collected by the port because of the docking of ships, but the turnover generated by these merchants trading goods in Donggang City is an astronomical sum.

He feels that the 633 gold days and 75 silver months earned today are not very good.

Oh, that feeling is called jealousy.

After they walked around again, Li Qi suddenly asked, "How much does it cost to buy a boat?"

"That depends on what type of boat you need," Denis said.

Li Qi said, "The Porcupine type."

"The price is not cheap." Deni shook his head slightly and said, "About 300-400 gold days."

Li Qi was surprised: "The price fluctuation gap is so big?"

"Sometimes there will be some cheap ships, such as the owner of the ship is suddenly short of money, and the price can even be lowered to 200 gold days!" Deni smiled, and then said: "But most of the time the price will only Over 300 gold days."

"What about the older ships?"

“The price of older boats will be cheaper, but they will always have various problems when they are repaired and repaired. Some people will hide the problems of their boats and sell them to other boats after their boats are old or severely damaged and repaired. Man, buy yourself a new one."

Li Qi nodded: "I have also heard this type of story."

"I don't often buy boats," Denis said. "Maintenance, sailors, captains, etc., if a boat doesn't bring enough benefits, I won't consider buying it, even if it's cheap enough."

Porcupine Collar requires multiple ships, not only for shipping needs, but also for frequent trips to and from High Magic Island.

"Perhaps you could hire someone to build a boat yourself," Denis suggested.

"do it yourself?"

"Yes, there are some skilled craftsmen who can make boats. As long as you pay enough money and provide materials, the price is only about 150 gold days."

Li Qi asked: "How long does it take for a ship? It's as big as the Porcupine."

"It should take about half a year, if you have enough craftsmen."

That's too long.

Porcupine Collar is developing rapidly, and half a year is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the territory. Perhaps by then, ordinary two-masted cargo ships can no longer satisfy him.

"Let's buy a boat."

Just happened to have money in my hand.

Once the money is earned, let it generate value.

"If you want to buy a boat, I have a friend who just happens to be selling a boat," Denis said.

Li Qi looked at the smiling Deni, businessmen can always create business opportunities all the time.

Li Qi even guessed that if he said that he wanted to build a new ship, Deni would immediately recommend craftsmen.

Li Qi said: "If the price of your friend's boat is low enough and the boat is okay, you can consider it."

"I can contact him right now," Deni said.

The entire process of buying a ship was quick, and even someone like Li Qi who didn't know much could tell that the ship was in excellent condition, at least better than the Porcupine.

It is understood that Denis's friend sold the boat because his daughter married the second son of a minor nobleman.

Because her daughter will marry to Mama City in the desert, where she seldom gets on a boat, she might as well do some work selling horses, but start-up capital is always needed.

With great ambition, the businessman planned to sell horses as the son-in-law of the nobleman.

In the end, Deni lowered the price to 203 gold days, and the price of those 3 gold days couldn't be lowered, so Li Qi had no choice but to accept it.

The other party also has a precondition that all payment must be made by Jinri, and the full amount must be settled in cash.

Li Qi understood what he meant, and he could earn another fortune by exchanging 203 golden days for silver moons.

The merchant who sells the ship is not really stupid. He may make a little money, but the other party will never lose money.

He thought to himself, "I really should hand over the work of buying the boat to Joe, and perhaps replace it with a merchant, and the price can be even lower."

Even if it is converted into Bronze Stars to trade, it is impossible to save 97 gold days for Li Qi, so he is still very happy to settle the bill in gold days.

Li Qi paid the money generously and wished him a smooth journey.

There are not a few businessmen who dreamed of nobles and ended up bankrupt.

The local real nobles look down on them, but they think that at least the foreign nobles may be blind, and then happily follow them to live a noble life, and when they arrive, they will find that it is completely different from what they imagined.

There are a large number of aristocrats whose lives are not even comparable to the small soap merchants in Donggang City.

There are still some people who may have to cultivate the land with a hoe on their shoulders.

After arriving, they will find that everything is a scam. They will not live in the castle and enjoy the service of servants, without luxurious banquets and dances, and without the greetings of noble ladies and young ladies, but live in the earth nest as refugees.

But one thing is right, the child born will be of noble blood, and he has completed the class leap.

"Thank you for lowering the price for me just now, which saved me a lot of money," Li Qi said to Denis.

"It's also for the good of my friend." Denis smiled, "When he has nowhere to go in the future, maybe I will feel guilty about oppressing him today, and then lend him a sum of money so that he can make a comeback."

The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly: "You are more kind than me, my friend."

Hawkwood stood far away, and he also took the initiative to avoid when Li Qi bought and traded the ship, but after Li Qi and Deni disembarked, he said: "That businessman should be very disappointed."

He chatted with the captain of the ship below and learned why the merchant wanted to sell the ship.

"It's not just disappointment," Li Qi said.

No one in East Gorge knows Mama City better than Li Qi.

Mama City is a den of robbers, where Cro Camel came from, and the successor of Mama City died at the hands of ghouls controlled by Li Qi.

A terrible place.
