The next thing became very simple and simple, and after the governor of Sinanseong came on board and looked at the cargo in the cabin, he immediately said that he wanted to buy it all, and asked the crew to carry the goods to a large shed on the shore by themselves.

At the door of the greenhouse, the two sides handed over the goods with one hand and the silver with the other, and the Governor made it clear that only 5% of the transaction tax would be charged, which would be deducted from the payment.

In the afternoon, after the silver and goods were delivered, the Australian told Captain Lorraine that you are welcome to come back next time, and the Australian also told himself that there was a need for grain, coal, iron ore and other metallic and non-metallic raw materials, and that you could trade all kinds of goods except for luxury goods such as coral jewelry in your cabin......

Alright, it's over.

That's ...... That's it...... Done?

It's that simple!

When Captain Lorraine finally realized this, he still felt like he was in the clouds, and the feeling still did not dissipate as he watched a little dazed as the crew returned to the captain's room carrying dozens of boxes full of eighteen thousand taels of silver.

I have long heard that Australians are magical, and sure enough, they are amazing Australians......

Another touching thing is that the next morning, the governor of Xin'an City personally received him, and with the help of an interpreter, the two communicated in Portuguese for a long time, which made him feel very dreamy, he actually communicated with a Han Chinese in the language of the enemy country, although the other party was a magical Australian, but the other party was a Han from the Far East!

Of course, these Han people are completely different from those Han maritime merchants from the mainland, both in terms of speech and demeanor and mental outlook.

Okay, so they're the amazing Aussies......

In the following days, Captain Lorraine's ship was repaired and resupplied, and what made Captain Lorraine a little laughable was that his crew was too idle to work on the construction site these days, and the most attractive thing for the crew was not the salary, but the food!

And during these days, the captain received a rare protest from the crew, saying that the food on the ship was simply unpalatable, and it was not something that people should eat at all!

Captain Lorraine was helpless about this, because he had "coincidentally" chatted with the two Governors until lunchtime, so he could fully understand the crew's complaints about the food on board......

A few days later, when all the ships were repaired, Captain Lorraine turned to a sad one, because the sea off Sinang, which was still the territory of the Portuguese navy, and he was a little worried that he would be able to get out of the harbor safely and avoid the Portuguese interception and enter the open sea.

However, after an impressive and delicious dinner, Governor Hou told him not to worry at all, for the Australian ship was coming at once, and that you should only have to leave with our ship when the time came, for we had an agreement with the Portuguese, and the Portuguese would not be embarrassed by any of the ships in our fleet.

Well, this was good news, and Captain Lorraine began to settle down on the shores of Sin'an Castle, and let the crew go to work on the construction site to eat and drink, or go to the bars of Dili City, miles away, to fool around with the women who had been doing their jobs there......

Sure enough, a few days later, the Australian boat came......

Captain Lorraine was adamant at first that the big guy on the hill was a ship, uh...... Maybe it's a ship, could it be the legendary Noah's Ark?

As a Protestant, Captain Lorraine can only explain the "ship" in front of him with what he has seen and learned in his life.

So he was invited to board the "Noah's Ark", ---- legendary Australian iron ship.

It was a legend that once circulated in the mouth of a drunken man in a bar in Batavia, and now it is alive in front of him!

Shortly after boarding, as the only Dutch captain on board, he was received by the Speaker of the Australian Bundestag, who was said to have heard that the elegant middle-aged man had just married a Catholic and had himself been baptized by Catholicism, but Captain Lorraine was surprised to find that the Catholic did not regard himself as a Protestant enemy, but spoke very cordially, and personally poured him a whole glass of sweet potato spirits.

Well, two pagans actually drank and talked at the wedding, such a strange thing can probably only happen in Australian territory......

Really...... Magical Aussie ......

The most surprising thing for Captain Lorraine was the business that followed, the Governor of Sin'an City, the Hou Hou, showed him around the cabin of the big iron ship, and the Governor pointed to a few boxes of crystal clear glassware and glass mirrors that were so clear that they were frighteningly clear and said to him, "You can trade these goods back to Batavia, and we have decided to give you a supply of 10,000 taels of silver......

It's sent! I'm rich!

Captain Lorraine couldn't help but burp several times in succession when he heard this, and for the sake of prudence, the captain, who had drunk a little excessively and looked a little red-faced, immediately asked the Chinese interpreter named He Sizhi, who was with the Governor, to re-translate it into Portuguese and Dutch.

Captain Lorraine could not sit still at once after receiving an affirmative reply, and he immediately took Governor Hou and returned to his small ship, and then roared to the crew to take out the silver that had been used to sell firearms, and then carried the silver to the great iron ship without any delay, and Captain Lorraine knew that in the quality of the goods before him, glassware and glass mirrors of ten thousand taels of silver could be sold for thirty thousand taels in Batavia!

This is still the purchase price of selling to the company, if you take it to other ports and sell it yourself...... Oh my God, the ideal of expanding your own fleet will come ten years earlier!

Captain Lorraine's excitement was beyond words, and Hou Xianglin was also very happy at this time, the Red Chamber called and said that his move to acquire the bronze cannon was unanimously praised by the family, especially Huali Quanzhen Hai An Hengtong them, the metallurgical group is now waiting for the rice to go to the pot and wait until the point of almost madness, obviously these bronze cannons will be returned to the furnace immediately after being transported back to Mornington Island, these copper and other non-ferrous metals are high-quality materials urgently needed by various industrial groups, especially the mechanical group, Boss Luo They are in full swing to copy various equipment, They also received a lot of processing orders from other industrial groups, and there was a great need for metal raw materials like bronze.

As for the 350 Spanish arquebuses, according to Hou Xianglin, it turned out to be brand new, obviously this gun is an obsolete weapon in the eyes of the Dutch, but if it is transformed by the mechanical group, it will be transformed into a "single-shot rear-loading flintlock rifled pistol" that throws a few streets in this era, and has become the first "export" firearm in the Australian Federation.

It's really, I want to doze off and meet the pillow......

In addition to nearly 7,000 pieces of glassware and mirrors sold for 250,000 taels of silver, a large amount of supplies were obtained through barter trade with Picole, and the total load of goods loaded into the hold of the Nicole these days reached 2,500 tons, including 900 tons of iron ore, 800 tons of coal, 600 tons of high-quality wood, 200 tons of rice and miscellaneous goods like bronze cannons, these figures are a bit unexpected by everyone, from this point of view, The Nicole is indeed in a position to operate this place as a fixed route in the future.
