- January 1st? Qing left Macau.
The moment he confirmed his departure from Hong Kong, Fang Xian felt that he had been cheated.
The sea in the eyes of people on the shore is clear and uncoded.
As soon as you enter the sailing state, the screen immediately changes to a 400x300 resolution coding scene. You can directly give commands such as direction and sail direction in the cab, and time flies by.
The first destination of this trip is the port of Jiadin in Southeast Asia.
In the world of the game, Southeast Asia has become the domain of European colonists, but players are left with enough space on the route. There are two major chambers of commerce in Southeast Asia, Kuhn and Preila, which belong to the Netherlands and Portugal respectively.
It is actually not difficult to suddenly emerge under the eyes of these two middle-aged men.
The main areas of activity of these two people are in the southwestern region of Southeast Asia, with Malacca and Jakarta as their bases for trade. For the time being, they have little interest in the large Indonesian and Malay ports in the northwest. After all, the development there is too low. It can only produce some agricultural products, not to mention its economic consumption capacity.
Therefore, the way to survive today is to seize many ports with low productivity at low prices and enter a virtuous cycle of investment-trade-development.
The people who were full of previous longing were very nauseous after seeing this scum -quality sea view. They could only play with the mast and sails, which undoubtedly increased the time of sailing.
It is not a short journey from Macau to Indochina (Indochina). Fortunately, surveyor Zhang Dashun, a veteran of navigation, is present. The former deputy platoon leader is generally very useless, but his surveying and navigation ability is acceptable. Although the measurement attributes of more than 70 points are not enough to be qualified for the surveyor's work, they can give a general direction and guide everyone on how to adjust the sail.
Zhang Dashun worked very hard. He knew deeply that if he followed a group of guys who had never been on a boat and were about to sail across the sea, if he didn't desperately fear, he would never see land again.
After more than twenty days of sailing, good news finally came from the lookout. It seems that a granular shit-yellow city appeared not far away. The long voyage has made everyone's level rise, and their respective professional fields have gradually become more prominent. It's hard to say anything else. At least Su Mei could sleep on the floor on the observation deck.
On January 22nd, it was sunny and Jiading docked.
After hurriedly logging in, the scene in front of me was finally restored to 1080p high-definition and uncensored, and it was early morning. There are only a few hard-working fishermen in the port of Ji'adin ready to go out to sea. A large fleet of sailing ships suddenly appeared in front of them, which surprised the locals. Even the boy at the dock was stunned for a long time.
Fang Xian and his team are very agile. They can get off the boat by jumping and get on the boat by flipping. They basically don¡¯t need any auxiliary tools. When the boy at the pier was still pulling up the ladder, they were already stepping onto the trestle to stretch.
Of course, Yu Yan¡¯s lightness skills were mediocre, so Captain Fang had no choice but to help carry her down. This also gave him Guangming Weibo the opportunity to take advantage of the girl.
Yue Ru felt unhappy. It's not easy to have an attack, as long as Fang Xian can hold Zhang Dashun down.
When you run away, you have to pay back everything. I won¡¯t talk about the process of holding Zhang Dashun in my arms.
"Friend, please help refill the food and water." Fang Xian patted the young man at the dock. It feels good to travel around the world in a few minutes.
"Okay, sir" The young man replied dumbly and calculated, "It will cost about 526 gold coins."
Before Fang Xian could say anything, Yu Yan dialed 550 gold coins and said, "No need to look for it. Please bring more meat and wine."
The young man was very happy to receive the gold coins. Although those yellow-haired masters were rich. But they were very stingy when it came to selling, so it was good if they didn't bargain. I didn't expect that these distinguished guests from the north would even leave tips.
Fang Xian rushed to the boat and shouted: "Each person receives 10 gold coins and goes ashore to play, and rest for 10 days!"
A bunch of sailors were also overjoyed. Now that they had all cut off their braids and replaced themselves with the serious service of serious merchant ship sailors, they still rushed down the ladder with a scornful air, received the gold coins, and after thanking the admiral and the landlady, Then he ran towards the city and started looking for some strange places.
"10 gold coins" The young man at the dock showed all kinds of envy in his eyes. This admiral was too generous.
Fang Xian took a look at this innocent guy. He was a thin, black-haired guy with a dark complexion and a standard Vietnamese or Thai appearance.
When he first arrived, Fang Xian was about to ask for directions, so he asked: "Little brother, which country is this?"
The young man replied without thinking: "This is Southeast Asia!"
"" Fang Xian was speechless. All the old man's elaborate creations were all lies. The whole of Southeast Asia seemed to be unified, but he still decided to ask more, "Which country is the governor here now?"
The young man replied instantly again: "Westernpeople! "
"Okay, thank you" Fang Xian was helpless, this is a game with the sea as its boundary.
Fang Xian looked around again. Most of them were local workers. Occasionally, one or two guys wearing Western clothes passed by. They couldn't help but take a second look at the fleet. After all, Chinese sailing ships were too stylish and they had never seen them before.
¡° Then Admiral Fang used a few gold coins to send a few ladies into the city to play, while he rushed to the Governor¡¯s Mansion with his right-hand men, both civil and military.
The governor¡¯s mansions in various places are very similar, and even the appearance of the governors is surprisingly consistent.
The governor of this place is a "Westerner" wearing a sailing hat and a white fake hood on his head. When he heard that someone was finally coming to invest, he was very excited.
He held the Dongfang captain¡¯s hands with tears of gratitude.
"How much do you want to invest?"
Fang Xian was unequivocal and stared: "20 copies! Full investment!"
"Well, you are ambitious and worthy of admiration!"
Fang Xian felt that Zan Shan looked familiar, as if he had copied lines from the game without restraint.
In Age of Discovery IV, if you want to trade in a port, you must sign an investment contract with the Governor's Mansion/County Magistrate/King. Each investment will increase the port occupancy by 1%. The higher the occupancy, the more goods can be traded. . As the amount of investment increases, the productivity of the port will also be developed, and new goods and ships can be developed. When the share reaches 100%, the port will become an exclusive port for investment forces, and other forces cannot trade here. The port will also pay a certain amount of taxes to the exclusive forces every month, which is basically the same as colonization. In the game, the concept of country is downplayed, and it can be understood that a force is a country. Therefore, the Fang family navy must start from a high starting point and complete the great deeds that were not completed in the Three Kingdoms world in a daze.
As for how much it costs to invest, it only depends on the development and armament of the port. It's about 10 times that value. The range of port development/arming degree is 1-9999, so the maximum one is 10w and the minimum is 10.
Ji'adin is a relatively backward place. The weapon level and development level are 500 and 400 respectively. Even if you invest 20 copies, it only costs 20,000 gold coins.
If Fang Xian wants to, he can just throw in another 80,000 yuan to become the overlord of this place, but then the living money will be too little, and signing contracts with other ports will be restricted. Now it is more appropriate to keep some capital for back-and-forth trade and compound profits. .
After the signing was completed, the Governor finally returned to normal thinking and began to ask some questions that should have been asked long ago.
"Your Excellencies, are they businessmen from Japan?"
Before Fang Xian could say anything, Fatty Zuo Zhang Dashun was furious: "That's ridiculous! Don't confuse my navy with the Japanese pirates!"
The governor was very embarrassed when he saw this, and just pointed at his pure white curly braid.
Zhang Dashun then realized that everyone had their whips cut off, no wonder they were recognized as Japanese people. Think of this. It was his embarrassment again. Following Captain Fang would be regarded as treason. Now that he was displaced, which country could he be considered a citizen of?
"The governor can just call us Chinese merchants." Fang Xian thought for a while and decided on a title that was not painful or unpleasant.
The governor understood and said with a smile: "I can't blame you. The government over there is closed to the country and restricts private foreign trade. If you want to make money, this is the only way."
Fang Xian was shocked: "Master, did you study economics? What a professional vocabulary!"
The Governor smiled humbly, feeling that these Easterners were very enlightened and not as pedantic as he thought, and he gradually developed a good impression in his heart. He quietly said: "Although our skin colors are different, I still admire the courage of your Excellencies. If it's any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."
Fang Xian heard what the Governor said, thought about it, and said tentatively: "What the Governor means is"
The Governor covered his mouth, indicating that he was talking too much, and then made a "you understand" expression.
In fact, even if you don¡¯t say this, everyone knows it. Europeans set out from the Mediterranean and colonized Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia. There is no need to say where the next destination will be.
"May I ask which country the Governor is from?"
"I am a Westerner."
"Okay." Fang Xian had already thought of "Westerners" as "European Union".
Zhang Dashun is very dishonest. He followed Zheng He and was in the Fujian Navy in the early days. This fat man is also someone he has met before, and he is very confident in the combat power of the Navy.
"My Lord Governor, if you want me to see it, that's all for you." Zhang Dashun uncharacteristically showed an aura of promoting our country's prestige. "Our Fujian Navy has 26 large ships, 50 artillery pieces, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers." The name is different from the navy in these barbarian lands."
When the governor saw this, his face was full of embarrassment.
"Your Excellency, I am just a local governor responsible for managing the port. I don't have much thought about invasion and colonization. I treat investors of all colors equally. Let's not talk about these things."
Fang Xian nodded. This governor was a strange person. He didn't have the airs of a "Westerner" and wasn't involved in war matters. It was really rare.
Before saying goodbye, Fang Xian remembered something and took out a few oysters from his pocket.
Before he could even ask, the Governor was as horny as a bar girl.
"Ah! Thatthat'san oyster? Want to give it to me?"
"" Fang Xian was sweating. Isn't this a classic line from a bar girl to extort gifts? Governor, you can't do this, Governor.
Fang Xian originally planned to ask about the price of oysters, but he didn¡¯t expect the governor to be arrogant. Since he is so hungry, he should give it to him
"Here you godon't look at me like that" Fang Xian hurriedly threw this thing to the governor. ! ~!
