Chapter 1713 The Prevalence of Stealing

Jack Sparrow is actually jealous, and he is not too happy to deal with Roy Smith.

Gibbs opened the money bag and took a look at the few coins inside.

The value of the silver and gold coins of the White Iron Kingdom is far higher than that of other countries, and the exchange rate is also much higher.

Because some items can only be purchased in the White Iron Kingdom through the gold coins, silver coins and copper coins of these countries, the currencies of other countries must be exchanged here.

In fact, this is also a means for Zeng Yunfeng to control the Baitie Kingdom. If the currencies of other countries are allowed to circulate in the country, it will become a very bad act of destroying the currency market.

Therefore, it has almost become a common practice to use the national currency in the country, and foreign currency must be converted into the domestic currency.

Naturally, Zeng Yunfeng would not allow the currencies of other countries to enter the territory of the Iron Kingdom easily and destroy his own currency system. This would allow others to take advantage of it, which Zeng Yunfeng would never do.

Moreover, the effective establishment of a currency system can help one's own country develop business rapidly and promote economic circulation.

Gibbs took out a few silver coins from the White Iron Kingdom from his wallet, looked at them carefully, and remembered the more than 100 silver coins he just took out, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Those are the silver coins of the White Iron Kingdom. The purchasing power of one is higher than that of two other countries. Moreover, these silver and gold coins are exquisitely made, and the price on the black market is higher, and the supply is almost in short supply.

You must know that there are many mercenary guilds and bounty hunters all over the world, and they are more willing to accept these currencies.

When faced with the pursuit of bounty hunters, it is possible to get a chance to escape by handing over a bag of such silver coins, which is not the same concept at all in Gibbs' view.

And if you still have the status of a registered mercenary in the mercenary guild, you can also use these currencies to exchange for some things that the outside world can't buy from the mercenary guild together with mercenary points.

This further enhanced the credit base of the currency of the Iron Kingdom.

Zeng Yunfeng will not allow some special items produced in his own country to flow out of the market easily, after all, rare items are more expensive, especially those items that are not only unable to be mass-produced by various countries, but even cannot be produced. Even more so.

For mercenaries, the most important thing is to protect their lives, strengthen their strength and earn more money.

The armor, weapons, and firearms made by the White Iron Kingdom are all very sophisticated without exception. Compared with other countries, this level of sophistication is admirable.

Now on the sea, which sailor or captain does not want to have a Bogota-made repeating firearm named Viper.

Seeing Gibbs carefully counting the money in his purse, Jack Sparrow said angrily, "Stop counting your three melons and dates, where should we go?"

Keith raised his head, "The Rose Tavern is said to be the best tavern on this island, or go to Bloody Tequila, or Jennifer, that tavern is also pretty good."

The sailors heard the names one after another, with green lights in their eyes, like wild beasts.

Every name seems to be able to arouse the fire in their hearts.

Sometimes Jack Sparrow has to admire Roy Smith, this guy is really a bit condescending when he is a pirate. Under his vigorous development, the various ports and towns of the Iron Kingdom are so prosperous that it is simply unbelievable.

New buildings sprang up one after another, and items that used to only appear in the lives of nobles frequently appeared here.

This makes them feel that the money spent is very good value, and the weapon shop here can also buy things that cannot be bought anywhere else.

Gibbs stopped talking suddenly when he said this, and found that he was a little too talkative.

Although these taverns are very famous, the drinks are good, and especially the women there are more eye-catching, but when I think about it, my money bag will soon be deflated.

As the first officer, Gibbs suddenly felt a pain in his liver.

Jack Sparrow basically doesn't care much about money, or as long as he manages money, their pirate group will soon be poor.

So Gibbs tried his best to prevent Jack Sparrow from spending money, and this time they boarded St. John's to spend.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to prevent Jack Sparrow from spending money indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, Gibbs couldn't help but feel resigned to his fate, and he didn't know how much money they would have left to recruit new sailors and supplement the supplies on board after this trip to St. John's.

As the first mate, he had to plan carefully. For drinks and the like, if he could not serve golden rum, he would not want golden rum.

Gibbs was thinking, while lowering his head and muttering something.

At this time, a person suddenly emerged from a small path at the corner of the street in front of him, and slammed into Gibbs' arms. He staggered suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

"Hey, buddy, be careful! Do you want your ass to bloom!" The sailor next to him said viciously.

Jack Sparrow's people also looked up at the rash little guy.

"Sorry, sorry!" The little guy was in a panic. He was wearing a gray hood all over his body, his face was hidden under the hood, and it was almost impossible to see what his face looked like.

"It's bad luck!" Gibbs frowned.

"Little guy, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Jack Sparrow looked at him with a half-smile.

The little guy was a little timid, looked back, looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Excuse me, this honorable gentleman, I may be too anxious, I have to deliver something, goodbye!" As he said that, he was about to flee from here.

Jack Sparrow grabbed his arm, and he obviously felt that something was wrong with this person.

"Gibbs, see if there is anything missing from your body." The little guy struggled and kicked desperately, but how could he escape the control of Jack Sparrow.

Jack Sparrow's hand held the little guy's forearm firmly like a pair of iron pliers.

Gibbs touched the purses containing coins in his arms just now, with an extremely angry expression on his face.

Just now he was still counting those little treasures of his, and now they all disappeared suddenly.

Gibbs immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little guy by the collar, "Little guy, you dare to steal my money, you don't want to live!"

"I didn't steal!"

"You didn't steal it, so why is my money gone?"

The little guy pouted and refused to admit it, but Jack Sparrow smiled, and with a slight push, the little guy fell to the ground immediately, and a money bag fell from his arms to the ground.

Gibbs hurried forward to pick up the purse, shook the purse and said, "You said you didn't steal it?"

The little guy didn't admit it, and didn't reply. A rabbit kicked its legs, and slid into the alley with a whoosh, and disappeared into the bustling crowd at the end of the street after turning back and forth several times.

"Damn it!" Gibbs pouted.

"Look and see if there is any missing money." Jack Sparrow shook his head helplessly. It seems that the security of the Iron Kingdom is not very good, even pirates dare to steal.

Only then did Gibbs come back to his senses, quickly opened the purse, and said through gritted teeth, "This damned thief lost more than half of it. How did he steal it?"
