Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because after arriving in the East, Rodelny spent money like water, and was constantly being plundered by pirates, which made him unable to support himself any longer.

    In addition, his business was always being squeezed by those Ming Dynasty businessmen, so his business could not be launched at all. Without making any money, he had not paid salaries to his subordinates for some time.

    If this situation continues for a while, then the men he brought to the east will definitely mutiny.

    As a European, Baron Roderney really knows the virtues of his men very well.

    The best ending for him is to be fucked on a pole and turned into a human, or more directly, to be fed to sharks.

    For money, these subordinates will do anything.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the sea, there were many examples of sailors mutinating because of salary issues.

    It¡¯s just that many such examples have not been recorded.

    After all, this is an era without maritime conventions and regulations, and pirates and adventurers are rampant.

    In short, this is also an era where you can get rich suddenly, but you can also lose your life for no reason.

    But no matter what, this is also an age of adventure full of passion.

    Rodelny, who aroused the spirit and desire of his subordinates and dispersed the shadows hanging over them, and successfully solved the economic problem, was in a good mood.

    Following him to Dongfang¡¯s housekeeper, a smile finally appeared on his face, no longer the usual frown.

    This fifty-year-old bachelor named Ford is not having an easy time at all during this time.

    Because he understands the financial situation of his baron master and also knows some of the undercurrents within their caravan, he has always been very worried about this.

    ¡°If there is a mutiny, then he, the baron¡¯s henchman, will definitely not end well.

    You know, usually if there is a mutiny, then the fleet owner's confidants and henchmen will definitely be among the purges.

    So, after noticing the internal crisis, this guy has been on tenterhooks.

    It¡¯s good now. My baron master has finally found a way for everyone to make money, and he can earn quite a lot of money.

    Therefore, this financial crisis and the mutiny crisis were finally passed without any danger.

    Therefore, Rodney's butler Ford suddenly became energetic and raised his head again, finally regaining his former proud look.

    "How much money do I have now?"

    Roddelny quietly asked his housekeeper while everyone was preparing their luggage and preparing to join Zhao Hongyu's army and no one was around.

    "My lord, you still have thirty-two ducats left. If we can't find a profitable job, our life will definitely not be easy."

    When mentioning this matter, the butler Ford looked a little worried.

    Yes, my master only has thirty-two ducats left. This money is not enough for anything.

    ¡°In fact, they are even starting to run out of food now, and this situation simply cannot last long.

    ¡°Maybe it won¡¯t be long before a mutiny will definitely happen.

    Fortunately, there is always a way, and my baron master found a way to solve this problem.

    But even so, Ford still feels a little scared in retrospect.

    It¡¯s almost, just a little bit close.

    If they can't solve this problem, they will definitely not end well.

    But, now it¡¯s fine, the problems have been solved.

    ¡°If things go wrong, they may still be able to make a fortune by taking advantage of this opportunity.

    You must know that no matter what business you do, it is not as profitable as war.

    This is a business without capital. If you are lucky, the cash you can get directly will be much more than the hard work of ocean trading.

    I have to say that my Lord Baron's luck is pretty good. When a crisis was about to appear, he hugged his thigh and successfully solved the crisis.

    This is thanks to the fact that the sailors who followed Baron Roderney have been to the Song Empire in America. They understand how rich the Song Empire is.

    Otherwise, how could they have followed Roderney faithfully from Nagasaki to Satsuma Domain to find Zhao Hongyu???

    In fact, everyone has this idea in their hearts, that is, to hug the golden thigh of the Crown Prince of the Song Empire tightly.

    To use another time-space buzzword, that is, ¡®rich people, let¡¯s be friends?  I can also pick up soap'.  In this era, if you are given a lot of money, it is not impossible to pick up soap.

    As long as there is money to be made and the price is reasonable, then nothing is impossible.

    This is the mentality of Rodelney and others now.

    "It's really unexpected. I only have thirty-two ducats left." After listening to the butler's report, Roderney's face also looked a little scared.  He said in a daze: "This little money is not enough for our one-time supply. If those sailors know our current financial situation, they might go crazy. After all, I already owe them two months' salary, and they  My patience has reached its limit.¡±

    Roderney said to his butler.

    Butler Ford agreed very much with what his baron master said.

    "Humph, thanks to my cleverness, I announced to these guys that I knew the crown prince of the Song Empire and could get a job there, which stabilized people's hearts. If not, we really wouldn't be able to solve this problem.  crisis."

    When he thought that he had deceived his subordinates and asked them to follow him to the Satsuma Domain, Rodelney could not help but show a somewhat proud look on his face.

    Yes, not only did he successfully resolve a big crisis, he also found a way for himself to make a fortune.

    Therefore, Rodelney does have some pride.

    But what he doesn¡¯t know is that he has to pay a heavy price if he wants to get rich.

    In this world, everything that involves making money is not that easy.

    People just saw that some people came in money quickly and transferred a lot of money.

    But how many of those who make money to become rich know the price they pay?

    "Baron, what price did the Crown Prince give? Can it really alleviate our financial problems?"

    After the two chatted for a while, Butler Ford asked the question he was most concerned about.

    Hearing this, Rodelney nodded and said to his loyal butler with a smile on his face: "Of course, it will not only alleviate our financial problems, but also make us a lot of money."

    "Oh, what's the price?" Ford was very curious about this.  He had heard his baron say before that the price of an ordinary mercenary was twenty taels of silver, and the leaders added ten taels by analogy.  If this calculation is followed, in fact, the money that the baron can get should not be very much.

    But when Ford saw the look on his Lord Baron¡¯s face, it seemed that this was not the case.

    So, this has to make Ford curious.

    You must know that since the Baron himself said that he can make a fortune, the price offered by the Crown Prince will definitely not be low.  After all, a price that is too low will definitely not satisfy my Lord Baron.

    ¡° Moreover, my Lord Baron still owes his subordinates two months¡¯ salary.

    This is also a huge shortfall.

    If you can make up for these shortfalls and still make a fortune, then the price offered by the other party will definitely be not small.

    "The crown prince of the Song Empire promised to plunder the whole city after capturing Shiliang City, and one-tenth of the wealth will belong to me. Do you think this deal is a good deal?" Seeing his steward, he looked curious.  Looking at him with a lustful expression, Roderny smiled and told the price offered by Zhao Hongyu.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    After hearing what his Lord Baron said, Butler Ford¡¯s eyes suddenly widened.

    ¡° One-tenth of the wealth of an Eastern city after plundering it, this is definitely not a small amount.

    Although I don¡¯t know how much wealth there is in a castle in the East, it is probably more than those in Europe.

    After all, since they came to the East, they still understand the wealth of the Oriental people.

    ¡°For example, my own Baron, compared with the ordinary people in the East, he is also a very loser existence.

    ?That¡¯s not to mention the wealth of the Eastern lords.

    Especially in the Japanese country, gold is rich in small things that can make people go crazy.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Ford swallowed. He already felt that his eyes were filled with shining gold coins.

    ¡°?Is it true, Lord Baron, did the other party really offer this price?  "

    Ford couldn¡¯t believe it.

    Looking at his butler¡¯s appearance, Rodelney felt a little funny.

    "Really, the crown prince has indeed offered such a price. And this is the first time. As long as we follow him in the future, we will receive one-tenth of the loot as a reward every time we kill the enemy after a battle.  At the same time, the salary of our subordinates will be borne by the crown prince, and it will be paid out after a battle without arrears. Think about how many daimyo there are in Kyushu, how many battles we will fight, and we will be rich by then."

    When talking about this issue, Rodelny also became excited.

    Yes, if everything goes as Roddelney said, then he will really make a huge fortune.

    By then, as long as Roderney survives, he will definitely return to Europe with a large sum of wealth Oh, no!  He probably immigrated to Manhattan, America.

    Because he has been to America and done business in Manhattan, Rodelney immediately took a fancy to the living environment in Manhattan.

    In his opinion, being able to live in Manhattan is the most successful thing for a small nobleman.  Rather than holding a lot of money and living in the smelly European continent.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
