Of course, Coolidge is an honest businessman. You must know that he can have better choices. He can choose more profitable smuggling, wine, or weapons. Of course, he can also directly trade for the East India Company. Soon You can change to a big sailboat and run long-distance trade.

But he didn't, he just wanted to do his duty honestly, doing business on the sea is also good for the welfare of sailors.

"What's the name of this ship?"

"Jackdaw." Gordon showed a smug smile. Although he didn't name the name himself, it still looked very impressive.

"Jackdaw? It's a pretty good name."

While a few people were tossing around on the ship, the Fortress also docked at this port again. Burton looked at the few people who came down from the Jackdaw and smiled.

"Captain Gordon, he is really an incomprehensible person. He hides a lot of secrets. It seems that it is time to visit again."

But now is not the best time. Burton took the soldiers back to the fortress, and he also went back to rest.

The appearance of the Jackdaw made Allen and Coolidge extremely excited, and then they ate and drank again in the tavern to celebrate the victory this time. They returned to the hotel late at night and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, at a table in the tavern, Gordon began recruiting sailors.

"Hey, have you heard? The captain who defeated Barbossa twice is recruiting sailors, do you want to go and see?"

"Barbossa, is that the Pirate King of the Caribbean? I'm a little moved. Let's go and have a look."

……

"Didn't their ship be snatched back later? Why..."

"Hey, have you seen the best and most beautiful ship in the port? It's their new ship. It is said that the Gordon family is still a nobleman. They gave him another ship without blinking, but the requirements are quite high. , I think you can try it!"

After the news of Gordon's recruitment of sailors spread, La Guairan's relatives flocked to him.

The previous battle was full of uproar, and the horror of Barbossa is well known to the world. With the boasting of Gordon Sailor during this period, coupled with the actions of the Navy, the news has been confirmed, and Gordon's reputation has risen.

The image of a good captain who is kind to sailors, is well paid, and can save everyone in distress is established, not to mention the Jackdaw is an excellent ship, and no one can refuse to serve on such a ship.

Gordon sat at the bar table with a wooden board erected next to it.

Requirements: Priority is given to those who are physically strong, willing to make progress, to study hard, to have a strong skill, and to have sailing experience.

"Mr. Smith, what's your reason for applying? Also, which one of the above do you think you can meet?"

Standing in front of Gordon was a thin middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, perhaps because he looked a little old from sailing.

Smith looked at Gordon: "Captain Gordon, I am willing to make progress and learn..."

Gordon interrupted him directly: "What ship did you sail on? Or what job did you do?"

Smith thought for a while: "I used to be a chef on the Babylon, and I've been a chef in this bar since I got older!"

Gordon's eyes lit up. He had eaten the food in this bar several times, and it tasted very good, if this person could dig it out.

"Smith, do you just want to watch my bar go bankrupt? As soon as you leave suddenly, where will I hire a chef!!!"

The owner of the tavern rushed out. He was just watching a play, but when he saw that the person applying for the job had his own chef, he couldn't bear it and roared loudly.

"I can't let this go..."

Gordon directly smeared Smith's hand with red ink, and then pressed it on the contract.

"Congratulations, Mr. Smith, you have been accepted!"

The tavern owner rushed over and carried Smith by the collar, his face full of anger: "Am I being bad to you? Am I not paying you high wages? Why do you want to go sailing?"

Smith was a little embarrassed. Under the pressure of the boss, he had to whisper closer and say, "The boss's demands are too great, I can't stand it anymore..."

The latter became furious in an instant, but he put down Smith directly and walked towards the second floor of the bar on the ground. It seemed that it was another **** storm.

The people around were constantly laughing. Although the sound was relatively low, they all heard it, and then gradually spread.

Gordon expressed some doubts: "Is this the reason why you left?"

Smith shook his head decisively: "This is only part of it..."

Gordon twitched his cheeks, and then pushed him aside. How on earth did a man with this appearance fall in the eye of the bartender's wife? Could it be that he can pick up girls even when he cooks?

"Next……"

Gordon kept interviewing, and then signed the contract and registered with Coolidge, and then paid one by one, because at least seventy people had to be recruited, and the conditions were not so strict. Basically, as long as they were young and strong in their twenties All the boys can take it in.

Near noon, a large group of soldiers from the Guards came to the pub with Colonel Burton and found Gordon who was recruiting sailors~www.readwn.com~Captain Gordon, you left in a hurry last time, not yet. Thank you very much, are you interested in walking with me? "

Gordon looked at Burton and smiled: "Last time, it was an important matter, Alan, come and give it a shot. Colonel Burton and I will go out."

Allen took Gordon's place, and Gordon got up and left.

Although Burton has become a colonel, and is the admiral of this port, in charge of military power, he occasionally enjoys patrolling with his team members to see the sorrows and joys of ordinary people, and their sufferings. At this time, Burton will feel that his faith is stronger.

The group of people gradually walked to the beach, the waves washed the beach, echoing the sound of rushing waves.

The patrolling team gradually left, leaving only Gordon and Burton.

"This time you gave up all the rewards, but as a person, I'm going to give you a gift."

Burton took a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gordon.

The latter was somewhat incomprehensible: "What is this?"

"A letter of introduction, if you have time to arrive in London, you can follow this letter to visit my father, the Duke of Strange, who can give you a lot of convenience, whether it's a privateer's license, or the arms trade. license."

Such a simple sentence instantly made Gordon understand the value of this letter of introduction. The privateer's license guarantees that no matter what you do in the sea, as long as you sign it, you can completely eliminate criminal discipline and become a member of the royal service. For many small pirates, it is a dream, and the arms trade license can multiply the trading profits of merchant ships.

Gordon didn't know why Burton was so kind to him, so he could only hold his hand: "Thank you."
