Super Chief

William Hank is very upset now. As a major in the Royal British Army, he was sent by his boss to such a ghost place where birds don’t **** and chickens don’t lay eggs to trade with those savages. This kind of life used to have a low-level officer. Leading is enough, but why should I let the major lead the team this time?

　　 "Could it be that Lao Tzu broke through that **** Colonel Jones and Mrs. Charles stole it and he knew it? Jones, this **** fellow, is revenge on me?"

　　 "It must be like that, otherwise why would Jones want me to lead the team here to trade with these savages?"

Sitting in the ventilated tent, William Hank spit heavily, then ferociously unscrewed a precious bottle of whiskey brewed in a Scottish distillery, and drank a fierce sip. He burped alcohol as if he was taking a breath.

　　 The bottle of wine in his hand is worth two royal rose gold coins. It is a very precious bottle of wine. The other four bottles of wine like this bottle of wine are also the most precious of this batch of goods.

　　 That **** fellow Jones wants me to exchange a bottle of this kind of wine for a hundred **** skins. Go ahead! Dare to send Lao Tzu to this kind of ghost place, Lao Tzu must drink your wine!

　　 Major Hank took another big sip, and his face suddenly became flushed.

　　 This Scottish whiskey is made with barley mixed with other grains. After several distillations, it has a high degree of strength. Although Major Hank is tall and strong, he still can't resist this kind of high alcohol.

　　 The journey from Jamestown to here is more than six hundred miles, not to mention the long distance, and it is particularly difficult to walk, especially after entering the Appalachian Mountains, there is almost no road to walk. And the most troublesome thing was the sneak attack by those damned Poitans before entering the mountains.

　　Although the British Empire has completely defeated the Poitans, there are still some dead-headed Poitans who secretly attacked the British. They will burn the tobacco fields and farmland of the British, and they will attack the British who are alone.

　　 Even if Colonel Hank and his group are all elite army soldiers, they are trembling along the way, for fear of encountering a large group of Poitans.

"God bless, I didn't encounter a large group of Poitans on the way here. The scattered dozens or dozens of Poitans are simply not enough to see. The flintlocks in the hands of the soldiers. It's not a vegetarian." Major Hank said to himself

　　 can walk here peacefully, this is already God bless.

　　 Major Hank raised the bottle of whiskey worth two Royal Rose Gold coins in his hand and shook it gently, very satisfied.

　　Major Hank knew very well that even in Jamestown or in the UK, this type of whiskey is not something people like him can drink. According to the current currency regulations, two royal rose gold coins are equivalent to four pounds. At this time, the British workers were busy for a year, but they could only harvest a dozen pounds, and the money had to support their families. As a major officer of the Royal Army, Captain Hank's salary for a year is only forty-eight pounds.

　　In other words, Major Hank's salary for one month is enough to buy such a bottle of wine.

　　 But now, this precious whiskey that could only be seen but not drunk and could not be drunk before, is held in Captain Hank's hand, and there are two big mouthfuls of this kind of liquor in his stomach...

　　 "Huh, I want to exchange a bottle of wine for a hundred **** skins, Jones, you bitch, dream!"

Beaver skins are now a very popular high-end fur in Europe. A complete **** skin is worth two shillings. If this bottle of whiskey worth four pounds can be exchanged for 100 **** skins, then it will be shipped to the UK. After that, they can sell at a high price of two hundred shillings.

　　 Now one pound is worth twenty shillings, and one shilling is worth twelve pence. In other words, these two hundred shillings are worth ten pounds! Five bottles of wine are fifty pounds, and Jones that can make a net profit of thirty pounds by changing hands!

　　 Thirty pounds is definitely a huge sum of money in this era. The UK has not yet implemented the gold standard, and the pound sterling has not yet been pegged to gold. At this time, the pound sterling is far more valuable than later generations of pound sterling. Now one pound is equivalent to one pound of silver, and thirty pounds is equivalent to thirty pounds of silver!

　　 But at this time, silver is not very popular anymore, and Krona silver coins made of silver have gradually begun to withdraw from the market.

　　 However, according to the current Bank of England regulations, the exchange ratio of gold to silver is 1:15.2. That is to say, if the thirty pounds is converted into gold, it can be exchanged for almost two pounds of gold, which is almost 0.9 kilograms of gold! In later modern times, these golds are worth almost 300,000 RMB!

　　 Major Hank does not like banknotes or silver coins, his favorite is gold! He came to the New World, also for gold.

　　According to the soldiers who returned from the New World, the New World is full of wealth. Those stupid barbarians have a lot of good things in their hands. Unfortunately, those barbarians are so stupid that they can exchange more than ten precious **** skins with a single iron pot. And a high bottle of whiskey can be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of **** skins!

　　 If Major Hank knew something about later generations~www.readwn.com~, he would describe the New World like this-stupid people come more quickly!

Therefore, Lieutenant Hank, who was still a lieutenant three years ago, followed the Royal Navy ships to the New World. Because here was not only to fight the barbarians, but also to fight the **** French, so before leaving, Lieutenant Hank was Was promoted to Captain Hank.

　　 Then in the past few years, he has fought bravely, commanded well, and was promoted to major, which is considered to be among the middle-level officers of the Royal Army.

　　 Of course, in the past few years, he has also earned a lot of gold from the trade between the soldiers and the barbarians.

　　 But what he didn't expect was that Colonel Jones, the highest commander of the Royal Army in Jamestown, sent him to such a place to make a deal, which really made Major Hank angry.

　　 Originally, Major Hank regarded Colonel Jones as the best leader, but this time, Colonel Jones’s image in his eyes was completely destroyed.

　　 So, Major Hank will take revenge on that **** Colonel Jones.

Of course, he has no way to retaliate against Colonel Jones in Jamestown. As the highest military officer there, if Major Hank dared to do anything extraordinary, without Colonel Jones taking action, the guards around him would shoot Hank to death. Major's.

　　 That's why Major Hank is here to ruin Colonel Jones' goods.

　　 took another sip of alcohol. Major Hank felt his head was a little dizzy, so he decided not to drink anymore today. But this wine is really good, it is worthy of the top wine worth four pounds!

　　 Just after plugging the bottle stopper again, I heard a voice outside: "Major, is it convenient for you now? The people from the Gaoshu tribe want to talk to you..."
