Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1448, Green forest hero with high nose and deep eyes
"Hey~"

"磴~"

A sharp sword was powerfully set on the mast of the pirate ship, and the arrows were still trembling and making noises.

"Sigh~"

Looking at this scene, Sterling couldn't help but gasped.

This arrow is too accurate, the key is to know at a glance that the bow used is a strong bow, and its range is farther than that of ordinary muskets.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. We just want to add fresh water and buy some food here. If you are willing to let us take a break, we will be very grateful, and we are willing to pay money~"

Sterling came to the bow of the ship and shouted loudly in his not-so-proficient Daming dialect.

He is proficient in many languages, and he is also learning the language and characters of Ming Dynasty, so as to facilitate doing business with the people of Ming Dynasty.

The most profitable business in Europe at present is undoubtedly selling goods from the far east to European countries for sale, and then selling the white slaves from European countries to the Ming people.

Learning the language and characters of Ming Dynasty is obviously very helpful for doing business.

Hearing Sterling's words, Huang Chong, Li Meng and the others were also slightly taken aback.

These vicious-looking pirates actually said that they had no malicious intentions, but just wanted to replenish fresh water and make some supplies?
Ghosts believe you.

"I don't care what your purpose is~"

"What I want to tell you is that this is an overseas colony belonging to the Ming Empire. We are citizens of the Ming Empire and the people of the Son of Ming. If you want to seize our Golden Island, we are willing to accompany you to the end."

Huang Chong held his own bow and arrow, and looked at the group of pirates coldly and issued a warning.

"We know that this is a colony belonging to the Ming Empire, and we have no intention of harming any affairs here."

"We just want to add fresh water and buy some food here in your land, and just rest on the island for a day. We are willing to pay the money, and we will give it to you now."

Sterling looked at the Ming people in front of him.

Although there were only a dozen of them, they were all tall, strong and powerful, wearing excellent armor, carrying muskets, holding bows and arrows, and swords around their waists, and even everyone was equipped with a horse.

This is simply armed to the teeth.

What's more important is the aura exuded by these dozen people, very confident and proud. Although there are more than a dozen people, it feels like they are facing thousands of troops.

This is the Ming soldier.

The Ottoman Empire, which is confident and powerful, sweeps across the world and all directions, needs the whole of Europe to unite to deal with it, and the Ming Empire has to cede territory and beg for mercy when it fights with an army of [-].

Sterling waved his hand, and soon a few pirates came to Huang Chong, Li Meng and the others in a small boat with a large box of silver coins. They opened the box, revealing that it was full of Ming silver coins. It is said that there are tens of thousands of them.

"Check it~"

Huang Chong nodded to Li Meng beside him and said.

"Yes~"

Li Meng hurriedly saluted and replied, quickly inspected the silver coins in the box, and confirmed that there were no problems. They were silver coins produced by the First Bank of Daming. Now they are not only circulating in various parts of Daming, but also follow the footsteps of Daming people all over the world. It has become a common currency within the scope.

With its excellent quality, high silver content, exquisite casting, and many other characteristics, it has become the most popular currency in all countries in the world.

Even carrying the banknotes issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty has become popular all over the world. After all, it is often not very convenient to carry silver coins, but it is much more convenient to carry silver notes.

"No problem, the amount is more than [-] taels of silver. These pirates are really rich. They spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every time they make a move, just to replenish fresh water and food."

After Li Meng checked, he licked his tongue slightly and said.

The money came too fast, just allowing the other party to replenish fresh water and sell some grain to the other party, and he could get tens of thousands of taels of silver all at once.

You must know that tens of thousands of taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and the purchasing power is very amazing.

"What do you say?"

Huang Chong looked at the silver in the box, then at the pirates who were honestly waiting on the boat, and asked the people around him.

"It's a bastard if you don't earn money, not to mention just replenishing fresh water and selling some food to them, it's not a big deal."

"Our family members have already moved to the mountains. When the time comes, tell them that they are only allowed to move here near the harbor. They can easily earn tens of thousands of taels of silver. Where can we find such a good thing?"

Li Meng replied immediately.

"Yes, tens of thousands of taels of silver~"

"It's enough for us to buy a lot of cement. At that time, we can repair the port and replace these houses with reinforced concrete."

"Yes, yes, we need this money very much now."

"Although the output of the gold mine is not bad, it is too slow to be mined. Now we need money to build this place."

"Yeah, there are too many places to spend money now."

"The port needs to be built, houses need to be built, and a road leading to the gold mine needs to be built at that time. All of these will cost money, and we don't have enough manpower. Maybe we will have to buy some slaves in the future."

"Just give them a note, we don't allow them to come down with weapons, and just be more careful."

"What are you afraid of? We are Daming people, and Liang and the others dare not act wild here."

The others replied in a hurry.

The Saber Colonial Firm really needs this money now.

Their backgrounds are too ordinary, and they don't have huge financial support behind them. They rely on the income they got when they joined the army. Although they occupy the Golden Island, the hen that lays golden eggs, if they want to really develop this island, they need to invest a lot of money. too big.

Not to mention anything else, just the basics, simply build the port and build decent houses.

This is the equator, and it belongs to the tropical rainforest climate. There is a lot of precipitation throughout the year. The adobe brick and tile houses cannot withstand the erosion of the rain here. Even though they guard the Golden Island, they live in wooden houses. Heavy rain, light rain inside.

This makes these retired soldiers who are used to living in concrete and reinforced houses worry. They have long wanted to build concrete and reinforced houses, but they have never had money, so naturally they cannot afford to build them.

"Okay, it's settled~"

"Let them replenish fresh water here, and sell them some food."

"Let's be more careful these two days."

Seeing that everyone had similar opinions, Huang Chong nodded after thinking about it.

Immediately ordered someone to put away the money, and then said to Sterling: "It's okay for you to rest here, but you can't come down with weapons~"

"Everyone can only move around the harbor. If you dare to go deep into other parts of the island, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Haha~"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Sterling smiled happily after receiving the answer.

Sure enough, having money means doing things well, and this Daming man also loves money.

Send a box of silver, you can take a rest here, replenish fresh water and food, and it will be much more convenient to avoid Spain at that time.

The pirates put down their weapons one by one, boarded the island excitedly, and some impatiently went to take a bath in the nearby river.

Some just find a shady place, lie down and sleep soundly, they are really tired.

As for Sterling, he brought a few people to Huang Chong's side with a smile on his face, preparing to establish a good relationship with these Ming people in front of him, chat about life, and see if there is any possibility of further cooperation.

"My name is Sterling, and I'm a pirate. Well, in your Ming's words, I'm called a Green Forester."

Sterling introduced himself to Huang Chong, and his words were also very humorous, and Daming's words were not bad.

"Won't your lord buy me a drink?"

"Didn't you Ming people say that a friend came from afar, what's going on~"

"It's such a joy to have friends come from afar!"

"Mr. Sterling, this way please~"

Huang Chong looked at Sterling and the others. Since the other party had done nothing wrong to his Jin Daoqiu, there was no need to make a bad face at them. He ordered people to set up a wine table, serve good wine and good food to entertain them.

After some politeness, three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

Sterling and the others also had a great time eating, and with a little drunkenness, Sterling also said: "Mr. Huang, you Daming people are better off. There is a powerful empire behind them, and no one dares to provoke you."

"It's different like us. All of them were born in poverty. They couldn't even eat enough at home. They had no choice but to embark on the road of no return to pirates."

Obviously, he was trying to gain sympathy. In the words of Daming Lulin, we are good people, and we were forced to take this road.

"That is to say, Mr. Huang, you don't look down on us, you look down on us brothers, you treat us as friends, treat us with good wine and meat, and are willing to help us. We are really grateful."

"Come here, bring up another box of gold, silver and jewels and give it to Daming's brother."

Sterling seemed guilty, talking nonsense, and soon after his words fell, someone brought a large box over, and when he opened it, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

"This, this can't be done~"

Huang Chong couldn't understand this Sterling. He was obviously a European pirate, so he felt like a green forest hero.

"If you treat me as a friend, you will accept this thing."

"I can also tell that you haven't been here for long, and you're almost the same as us. You're all poor people. The docks here don't look like docks, and the houses don't look like houses. It's completely different from some of the Ming colonies I've been to."

"Like Hong Kong, it is very prosperous, with tall buildings everywhere, and the port is prosperous and busy."

"I know you guys need money, but I don't have anything else. This is a worthless business. There are so many dirty things. As long as it can help you guys, it's worth it."

Sterling seems to be quite drunk, but Daming speaks very well and has a deep understanding of Daming's culture. If you don't look at his appearance, you will definitely think that he is from Daming's green forest.

When Huang Chong, Li Meng and the others heard these words, they immediately felt that Sterling and the others were really good friends. They just treated them to a meal of wine and food. They were so generous and gave them a box of gold and silver treasures. come over.

"Okay, you friend, I, Huang Chong, have made a deal!"

After Huang Chong listened, he proudly picked up the big porcelain bowl and drank it in one gulp.

"Haha, refreshing~"

Sterling immediately became happier, and took a sip of the wine.

"It's really rare to meet a bosom friend with a thousand cups, come and drink~"

"Yes, yes, drink, drink~"

　Have you ever met a foreigner who is righteous?
