This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 156 Arms business, island tour

Just going out to sell goods, I hooked up with the elves, which is not a surprise.

It can be said that luck has come, and it can't be stopped.

Raymond seemed to remember something again, and continued: "Oh, yes, those elves also said that they like the coffee made from the specialty coffee beans we produce, and if there is a stable supply, they are willing to use the same price as the market. Double the price to buy them all."

This Ji Chen was not surprised. After all, the value of premium coffee beans lies there. While ensuring the taste, it can increase mana and speed up mana recovery. He believes that there are not many similar things in the outside world.

Seeing that he wanted to say something, but Ji Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go back to the Lord's Mansion first, this is not a place to talk all the time."

Raymond froze for a moment, then nodded quickly.

The two walked in tandem.

On the way to the lord's mansion, Raymond looked left and right, looking at the crown of the ocean that had changed a lot, his eyes were full of surprise.

He still remembered that when he left, the place was not so prosperous.

The port and water village have not been built yet, and there is still a jungle and a few dirt roads between the territory and them. There are only dozens of houses in the residential area, and there are less than 2000 residents.

There were only six warships and merchant ships, and he took most of them with him in one voyage.

Where is it like now, like the military overseas station of some kingdom principality, with dozens of fierce warships, continuous houses and buildings, beautiful and generous market environment, and dense flow of residents.

In various functional buildings, the residents are busy working, looking like they are in full swing.

Let him sigh authentically.

"I've only been away for half a month, and the territory has changed so much, and there are a lot more people, it's incredible."

Hearing this, Ji Chen also smiled. Half a month is not short, and who would have thought that after half a month, the crown of the ocean would develop to this extent?

Raymond looked at a pair of fierce-looking half-orcs and lizard men in armor and spears passing by, and asked curiously.

"My lord, why are there so many half-orcs and lizardmen in the territory? Where did they come from?"

"The half-orcs were captured by accident when I went to sea before, and their combat effectiveness is very good, but the lizardmen." Ji Chen casually pointed to the ground, "There are several lizardman kingdoms living below the kobold cave. They conquered, and there are many Lizardfolk there."

"I see..." Raymond nodded suddenly, "Then how many lizardmen are there?"

"Not much, just over a hundred thousand."

"It turns out that there are more than [-]... more than [-]!??"

Raymond looked like hell, you didn't lie to me.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Apart from these lizardmen, the number of inhabitants of Ocean Crown is close to [-]."

More than one hundred thousand, ten thousand.

The corners of Raymond's mouth twitched. He felt that he needed to re-acquaint himself with the Ocean Crown and the object of allegiance.

It was the first time I came to the Crescent Islands. At that time, it was still a barren place. There were no more than a hundred troops, and there were only a few houses and dozens of residents in the territory.

Except for the ability to produce a few special products, it is no different from the territories of other Glorious Lords.

To be honest, he still had some contempt in his heart at that time.

But after more than half a month later, when he was tied here again, it seemed that many things had changed.

The lord not only easily defeated hundreds of elite chamber of commerce guards, he already owned several warships, greatly improved his military power, and even his territory prospered a lot, looking full of vitality.

Then some time later, until today when he returned, even greater changes took place.

The military strength has expanded dozens of times, and the number of residents has reached nearly ten thousand, and it also leads more than one hundred thousand underground lizardmen.

The degree of prosperity is more than ten times that of before?
Adding up all these things, it took only over a month to develop into this state. If it continues to develop like this, wouldn't it be heaven?

Even if it develops into a kingdom, it doesn't seem impossible...

If one day he really develops to that point, wouldn't he be a great credit for being the trade officer of the crown of the ocean?
A trade officer may become a trade minister.

A kingdom's trade minister...

Thinking of this, Raymond instantly became excited, which was much stronger than members of the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce!
Seeing that Raymond suddenly became excited, with a face full of fighting spirit and passion, Ji Chen was a little puzzled, but also smiled.

It's good to have the will and the passion.

The two quickly returned to the Lord's Mansion, and Raymond continued to report on the harvest of this trip to the Northern Continent.

"This time, the two shipments sold a total of more than 19 gold coins. According to your wishes, all of them have been replaced with various resources in the local area, including skilled labor, Mithril..."

"On the way, Master Sparrow also found an opportunity to rob two merchant ships, and gained a lot."

Ji Chen understood clearly, and asked, "Did we reveal our identities during the looting and handling of the stolen goods?"

"No, everything is going on in secret. There are many people on the mainland who specialize in handling these stolen goods at sea. In addition, we are almost extra cautious and careful, so the chance of exposure is almost zero."

Although the Crown of the Ocean is now much stronger and is not afraid of the attacks of ordinary forces, it is still a disgraceful thing to plunder as a pirate, so it can be concealed or concealed.

How can I say that he is quite famous among the players now, if he is found out, his reputation will be ruined?

But it won't be long before he will abandon this business and completely clean it up.

After passing through the stage of primitive capital accumulation, they can continue to develop with more sophisticated means, such as trade, such as military employment escorts, without having to risk their reputation as pirates to plunder and obtain resources.

Ji Chen suddenly realized that this operation of his was like some modern countries on Blue Star?
Sin, sin, really sin.

"My lord? Are you all right, my lord?"

Raymond's voice brought him back to his senses, he stretched out his hand and coughed twice, "Go on."

"Oh, I just said that the wars in several duchies and kingdoms in the Northern Continent prevented our previous products from being shipped to these places, and the sales were also very poor.

"After all, the war happened, and no nobles bought these luxury woods, but fortunately, the emergence of the elves solved our worries."

war?

Hearing this, Ji Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "You said those duchies and kingdoms are at war? How intense is the fighting?"

"Although it's only been a few days since the beginning, I heard that the brains are about to be shot, and millions of soldiers are starting to fight one after another."

"Because of the war, the best business in the Northern Continent has now become the arms business. Merchants in other places are now purchasing arms and transporting them by ship."

Snapped!
"That would be great!" Ji Chen patted the armrest of the chair vigorously, and stood up abruptly.

Raymond was startled by the sudden sound, "My lord, may I ask where this is?"

"Of course it's the war!"

"This war?"

The fat man suddenly looked puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

The war almost made it impossible to sell anything in the territory, so where is it?
Seeing Raymond's confusion, Ji Chen smiled and said.

"Did I say I conquered the subterranean lizardman kingdom?"

"The iron equipment forging of the Lizardman is quite superb, and there are still a large number of high-quality weapons and armor in the warehouse. Since the demand for ordnance has increased, can't we clear these stocks?"

Hearing this, Raymond also became excited, his head turned quickly, and his thoughts gradually became clear, "If this is the case, then we can sell it quickly during this time, otherwise it will not be easy to sell after the war is over."

Ji Chen nodded. Regarding this batch of weapons and equipment, he thought about whether to sell them to players. After all, there are a large number of players and the market is extremely broad, but he finally dismissed this idea.

There is no other reason. Players are distributed all over the world. Even though the overall demand is very large, due to the geographical distance, the market is extremely scattered and the efficiency of trading is very low.

But for this war, dozens of ships can be transported at one time, and they can be transported to the few kingdoms and duchies where the war broke out, which is very trouble-free.

Don't miss out on such a good opportunity to make money!
When Raymond saw the opportunity to make a lot of money, his blood almost boiled, and he immediately asked for an order.

"My lord, I request that these weapons and equipment be shipped in the next few days, and let me go to the North Continent again as soon as possible. The larger the cargo, the better!"

Seeing this, Ji Chen didn't hesitate, waved his hand and shouted.

"I agree, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"Yes!!"

After Raymond saluted, he showed a speed that was extremely inconsistent with his body, and ran out suddenly.

Ji Chen's order was absolute.

Soon, in top-down mobilization.

A large number of idle weapons and equipment piled up in the warehouse were transported up from the underground lizardman world in batches, directly piled up in the port, and then sorted and packed by specialized people, and then loaded into the cabin.

A large number of warships were unloaded to make room for loading as much as possible.

The crown of the ocean running at high speed is surprisingly efficient.

In just two days, more than [-] ships were stuffed with cargo, and their draft was greatly increased.

But even so, less than one-third of the weapons and equipment accumulated in the underground lizardman world were shipped out.

This shows how rich their inventory is.

Noon on the third day.

Raymond, who had not been back for a long time, boarded the ship again, and set off with a large-scale trade fleet amidst a burst of attention.

Among them are 32 cargo ships and eight escort ships.

The Crescent Islands left less than ten warships as a garrison fleet.

In order to avoid the chasing soldiers who were monitoring Monica and the others, Ji Chen deliberately let the fleet leave from the west side of the stormy sea area and merge directly into the channel.

On the edge of the port, watching the trade fleet gradually disappear on the sea level, he turned and returned.

Back in the Lord's Mansion, I waited for a while in the hall.

Soon, with the sound of boots clicking, Monica's figure appeared in front of the side door.

Looking at her outfit, Ji Chen's eyes flashed with amazement.

Today's Monica seemed to have been specially dressed. Her golden hair, which was more dazzling than the sun, was tied into a neat long ponytail, making her look quite heroic.

Wearing a hunting suit that is easy to climb over mountains and mountains, the brown vest and plaid shirt well outline the beautiful curves of the upper body, and the mountains on the chest are even more vivid.

Ji Chen swept her equestrian pants and boots on her lower body, and sighed in his heart, why didn't he find out that this little girl has such a pair of soul-stirring long legs a few days ago?

Seeing Ji Chen looking at her, Monica's eyes flashed an imperceptible joy and pride.

She is still very beautiful, she just looked more embarrassed because she ran away.

However, does Ji Chen like legs?

Monica narrowed her eyes, and suddenly remembered that whether it was Alice, the girl named Anina, or the maid in the castle, they all had long legs.

Thinking of this, she became more certain of this idea in her heart.

Immediately, he stepped forward with his long legs generously, and greeted him with a sweet smile.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I'm ready, shall I go now?"

He came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Of course."

For some reason, Alice was urgently transferred to another place, so now he will receive the grand duke's daughter and accompany her to visit the Crescent Islands.

Just as Ji Chen was thinking about where to go, he suddenly felt his arms tighten.

Looking down, Monica was holding his arm generously. Seeing the astonishment in his eyes, she blinked her big eyes and showed a sweet smile: "Let's go."

This woman's rank is not low!

We are the lords of a place, so we cannot be intimidated by this small scene.

Ji Chen was shocked, and nodded with a smile.

This time only the two of them were traveling together, and the first stop was the most common jungle on the island.

For him, the jungle here has been seen thousands of times, no matter how beautiful it is, it feels boring.

But for Monica, everything here is so novel.

Tall and dense trees, dense and impassable vegetation, small insects hidden in the branches and leaves, birds passing by at low altitude in the forest, trickles flowing crookedly.

This made her, who had lived in the palace since she was a child, feel extremely fresh.

Just a few steps into the jungle, I was attracted by various landscapes, looked around bouncing around, and exclaimed from time to time.

"Your Excellency, look, it's a seven-spotted ladybug!"

"Your Excellency, it's a dragonfly!"

"Your Excellency, there are snakes!!"

"Your Excellency, there are butterflies!!"

Looking at Monica who ran back to her side screaming because a small non-poisonous snake passed by, hiding behind her in fear.

And because of a beautiful butterfly, he stepped forward to catch up, with a happy and happy expression like a child on his face.

For a while, Ji Chen couldn't tell whether she was acting or real.

If it is acting, then the acting skills are really amazing.
