"Later, I'll go to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The goblin suddenly mysteriously approached Locke and said in a low voice, "I have a gift for you." ”

"Okay. Thank you in advance. Locke smiled and didn't shirk, he turned back and pointed to the civilians and soldiers behind him and said, "Let's get to work, and unload all the goods here first." ”

"Tomorrow is the Winter Veil Festival, and we have to unload all these goods by tomorrow afternoon." Locke looked at the goblin with a smile, "As for the price of the goods,"

"Officer Shiloh, you and Mr. Zax's men are here to check the goods." Locke looked back at Zax, "When all the goods are in storage, we're starting to liquidate the currency. ”

"Okay!" Zax shrugged his shoulders and explained to a goblin in a black shirt behind him, who walked out and began to walk around all the ships on the docks with Shiloh.

"Let's just go and watch." Zax pointed to the ship's crew and the civilians behind Locke with some arrogance, and said, "They can do all the work, now!" We need to pay attention to identity and status! ”

"Then please take it." Locke beckons the goblins to the harbor's observation deck.

It wasn't long before Shiloh, led by Zax's men, began unloading the cargo on the small merchant ships. The civilians were divided into large teams, each of which was responsible for loading and unloading a dock ship, and soon a steady stream of various goods was unloaded from the ships.

Locke saw that on merchant ships, sailors removed the middle deck of merchant ships. In the middle of the merchant ship, there is something similar to a crane from the previous life, but this crane is wooden. On the left and right, there are sailors pulling hemp rope to pull it, and at the junction point between the crane and the hemp rope, there are pulleys everywhere controlling the rope and the crane.

The sailor tugged at the hemp rope in his hand, and the hemp rope made a stabbing sound through the pulley, and a large iron hook at the lower end of the crane hung down to the deck. It hangs over the packed cargo with a stabbing sound, and the sailors below hook the hook to the buckle on the packed cargo. The sailors above began to pull the hemp rope in their hands, and the cargo began to slowly rise.

After reaching the top, the sailors under the ship pulled the rope in their hands to turn the cargo to the dock, and the sailors on the ship began to continue to pull the hemp rope in the opposite direction, and the cargo was gradually placed on the dock.

The whole loading and unloading process takes about 10 minutes.

Then the civilians waiting under the ship, several people reasonably carried the goods to the side of the warehouse that had been prepared for a long time, and at the door of the warehouse, there was a special warehouse manager of the Crusader Logistics Wing who was responsible for sorting there.

"I've seen too many of these scenes." Zax sat in the chair that had been prepared for a long time, watching the busy scene below.

He held a cup of tea brewed by the soldiers in his hand, and slowly savored these movements, these movements were as gentlemanly and decent as an old nobleman.

"We goblins grew up on islands, so to speak, every one of us goblins is a good sailor." Zax took a sip of tea, "If, not like money." I think I'm going to be the captain of a trade fleet now! ”

"It seems that the trade of the seas is indeed monopolized by your goblins." Locke whispered as he looked at the blackened ships on the sea in the distance.

When, too, could the Crusaders have so many ships?

"We goblins started out in the maritime trade, albeit with some disgraceful means." The goblin put down the teacup in his hand and stood up with Locke, looking at the busy people below.

"The combined value of these goods is more than 10,000 gold coins." Zax said slowly, he glanced up at Locke's side face and continued. "Friend, if you don't have that much money. We can allow you to take credit and then use the other resources here to offset it temporarily. ”

"For example, minerals, and other forest resources..."

So these goblins still pay such attention? Locke couldn't help but look back at Zax's expectant expression.

"Nope! When all the goods are in storage, I will give you all the gold you need to settle this trade. Locke looked at him and said, "You don't have to worry about that. ”

Zax's expectant expression was a little disappointed, and he spread his hands and said, "Okay then." ”

"Now, let's discuss the value of the cargo on board other than people. The most goods carried by ships on the sea are grain, and the least valuable is also the most grain, and now, they are the most valuable. Since we have collected a large amount of grain in Treasure Bay, and we have purchased a lot of food temporarily, there may be a lot of grain, this price...."

Zax looked down and thought, "We've brought in a total of 50 large merchant ships and 100 medium-sized merchant ships. Our Prince of Trade decided to make you a friend, and before he left, he told me that the price of these grains would not be as high as before. In peacetime, a ton of grain is 2.5 silver coins. So, now I'll charge you 25 silver coins. How about only 10 times the price? ”

Locke sat back in his chair and pondered for a moment, then he asked the goblins, "How much food did you bring with you this time?" ”

"90,000 tons!" The goblin looked at Locke nervously.

"So, how much is this grain alone?" Locke did the math in his mind for a while, but he didn't understand, he asked the goblin directly.

"36,000 gold coins!" Zax said it in one gulp.

"What did you say?!" Locke jumped up from his chair in surprise.

"36,000 gold coins..."Zax also said with some confidence.

I said, how come your prince of trade is suddenly so enthusiastic about me, and the feeling is that he wants me to eat so much food!

"In the territory behind me, there are now more than 100,000 people gathered here, and you say you want to sell me 90,000 tons of grain? We are just one person who eats more every day, eats 8 pounds of grain, and these 90,000 tons are almost enough for us to eat for a few years! ”

"Do you think I'm stupid? Will I spend so much money on food? Locke sneered, he walked to the harbor and pointed to the forest in the distance, "In this woodland, we have tens of thousands of hectares of farmland. Moreover, these farmlands have also been robbed to grow some grain, and there will be some harvest in the coming year. ”

"When the grain is harvested, we will go into the cycle. Equally! Don't you know what the Gnoll Druid I bought from you is for? Locke snorted, "With them ripening the fields, we might be able to harvest a few times a year." ”

"You say!" Locke turned his head to look at the goblin and said with an unhappy expression, "Will I use so much gold to buy your grain?" ”

"This—" Zacks, the goblin, was also speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Zax looked at the teacups on the table and was in trouble, Locke was not in a hurry, he and other goblins thought slowly. Although I have some money, I don't use it like this. On the amazing planet of Azeroth, there are places where grain can be harvested several times a year. In the Splendid Valley of Pandaria, the land ruled by the panda people, the legend has it that the grain there can be ripe for a day, what is this concept?

If it weren't for this particular situation in Lordaeron, how could he have bought grain? Originally, many parts of the kingdom of Lordaeron were grain-producing areas.

Zax was also a little troubled, now that the grain had been brought in, it was impossible to transport it back to the warehouse in Treasure Bay. These grains were all looted by pirates from merchant ships at sea, and it was a pity to lose them and put them in warehouses to take up space. Finally, there is a customer who needs food,

According to the original words of the Prince of Trade, these grains can be sold for as much as they want. The main purpose is to befriend the promising aristocratic officers of this human kingdom. If he makes a fortune in the future, then the rewards will be huge. The kingdom of Lordaeron is a kingdom that covers an area of more than 7 million square kilometers, and compared to these grains worth thousands of gold coins, the benefits that can be seen afterwards are enormous.

"So," Zax asked, after a moment's thought, "how much do you think is appropriate?" Friend? You see, in order to transport these food and supplies, we first fought a fierce naval battle with the Bloodsail Pirates, and then outside the port of Stormwind, we were blocked by the navy of Stormwind. If it weren't for me and someone bribing their ruler, Countess Catlana Presto, we might have had another fight with the navy of the Stormwind Kingdom. And off the coast of Kazmodan, we were discovered by the navy of the Kingdom of Kurtiras, where we confronted each other for several days. ”

"In the end, if I hadn't risked being killed on their flagship, handed over our trade to their admirals, and made it clear that this was a crusader trade with you Lordaeron. I won't be able to get over this time! Otherwise we would have come over a long time ago! ”

"Oh? I didn't expect that. Locke looked at the goblins in amazement, "Why don't you replace your pirate flags?" Isn't it okay to change it to the flag of your Goblin Hot Sand Port Group? There won't be so many things along the way. ”

"If this fleet is mine, of course it's fine!" Zax said with some anger, "Key those escort warships!" Those Blackwater pirates don't want to! ”

"Although we are all under the Prince of Trade, Strymwilder, they are another of the Prince's men, the rich Rivigaz. Yes! Don't be surprised, it's the head of Booty Bay, that guy I'm on the same level as him now! He saw this as an opportunity to spread the word about the power of the Blackwater pirates! And I can't convince him, I'm just the business executive of the Prince of Trade in Lordaeron, I can't control it, and no one wants to listen to me! ”

"It's been a lot of trouble! Like I said before. ”
