Chapter 72 The Flying Hunanese

Ma Yishan nodded with shock when he heard this, and said, "The Finance Department has estimated that number!"

"Wow, Xiaojing, you are so awesome, how did you calculate it?" Lin Feng looked at Zhang Xiaojing with admiration.

"This is very simple, it's just that you never worry about the transaction of goods." Zhang Xiaojing is capable and speaks nicely. No wonder even Lin Feng has become her little fan.

"6 million silver pesos are equivalent to 4.5 million taels of silver. 500,000 gold pesos, which is 3 million taels of silver. There is also a ton of goldware that can be 256,000 taels of silver. The total amount of gold and silver is about eight million taels." Xiao Zhuzi, the general police committee, was not just a good meal, and she was responsible for the trade along the way of the fleet.

"Oh..." Lin Feng said with a silver light on the corner of her mouth.

"Then those gems, at the domestic price, are almost one million taels of silver. Spices can be sold for 16 Ducats per quintal in Europe, but they include 4 Ducats freight. One hundred tons is 10,000 yuan in total, and the silver discount is 145,000 taels; the price of sugar is 15 times that of the Ming Dynasty, and the value of 300 tons is 600,000 taels..." Zhang Xiaojing reported the European price of all the goods with knowledge, and finally said:

"It's 12 million taels in total. But this is the price sold to Europeans. If it's shipped back to the Ming Dynasty, it's not worth that much."

"Why are their prices so high?" Although Lin Feng didn't understand, he was deeply shocked.

"This is called a price revolution. Spain transports gold and silver to Europe in a ship, but the number of goods on the market has not increased, but they are sold out, so the prices will of course soar." Zhang Xiaojing explained:

"According to the observation of your master and my husband, prices in Europe have generally risen by two to three times in the past century, and Spain has even risen by four times. Commonly known as the poor are the only money left."

"Yeah, I understand." Lin Feng's head buzzed when he heard it, and pretended to be enlightened, ending the topic.

However, she still understands the principle of selling stolen goods on the spot. For example, silk and porcelain were made in the Ming Dynasty, so only fools would transport them back from thousands of miles away.

There are also sugar, spices, tobacco, and hair from grass and mud. It is not enough to transport it back to the Ming Dynasty. Only in Europe where people are stupid and have a lot of money can they be sold at such a high price...

"It seems that it is necessary to take this batch of goods before going back." Ma Yishan also touched Guangguang's chin and said.

"If you want to take action, I suggest you sell all the gold and exchange it for silver." Zhang Xiaojing said: "One tael of gold in the Ming Dynasty vs. eight taels of silver, and one tael of gold in Europe can vs. twelve taels of silver. So this gold is expensive."

"That means, if I exchange gold for silver, can I make a big profit?" Lin Feng felt like she was about to have an intracranial orgasm.

"You will get another one hundred, sixty-two thousand taels of silver." Zhang Xiaojing said.

"Wow, it's developed and developed!" Lin Feng jumped three feet high.

During private operations, crew members are at greater risk than normal military operations. And once they fail to be captured, the group and the security zone will not recognize that they are related to themselves, nor will they directly organize rescue.

Therefore, according to the principle of risk-return equality, when privateer harvest distribution, the proportion of crew members is higher than the normal "two-one-one" principle, and they can take away half of the profits.

Half of the ‘distributed profits’ after deducting the cost of going out, personnel pensions, ship loss and other expenses will be distributed by them.

So in this hand, these thousand crew members can get at least 6 million taels of silver!

It's enough to make everyone rich overnight!

"I really just came to complete this global voyage with a lofty mood. Why did I make a fortune by accident?!" Lin Feng smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and used a small whip to pull the horse Yishan into a top and said happily:

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Get the boat and get it!"

"There are too many goods, how can I finish it?" Ma Yishan felt hot and said, "All the prisoners are transporting, and our people can also be transported. It will take another ten days before the transfer will be completed."

"Ten days are too long!" Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Let's do this, leave a boat in the best condition and don't transfer it. Let's drive it away directly! The remaining three boats must be moved in six days!"

After a pause, she said in a deep voice: "Tell the prisoners that after the time is moved six days later, I will give them freedom! But if the time is not moved six days later, I'm sorry, I'll go all down!"

"I understand!" Ma Yishan hurried out to pass the order.

~~

In the next few days, the crew members were motivated by great wealth and were full of motivation.

The captives wanted to survive and wanted to be free, they were more motivated. Even the nobles used their strength to move desperately!

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, three large sailboats carrying hundreds of tons were moved.

When the last box of goods was moved, everyone was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

He monitored the captive crew with guns, but drove them off the ship as soon as possible.

"Go downstairs and rest!" Because he learned to speak Spanish, Liu Yishou had been appointed as the translator on the title of Liu Daxia, a sinner of the ages.

"Sir, can you ask a question?!" Colonel Thiago suddenly turned around and asked.

"Ask." Liu Yishou was in a good mood recently. Because of his performance in combat, he finally won the respect of the crew members. Although he just stopped joking about his ancestors, he was already very content.

"What is the name of this miraculous giant ship?" Thiago asked.

Liu Yishou immediately blushed and wanted to eat this guy. Who are you asking about this question? Why did you ask me?

Fortunately, no one else understood it, otherwise he would have to laugh and lose his stomach.

"What does it have to do with you?" Liu Yishou glared at him fiercely, hoping that he would be more aware of it.

"As a general on the defeated side, I think I am qualified to know." Unexpectedly, the Spaniards were very arrogant, and they were stance that I would not leave if you didn't answer.

After nodding for a long time, Liu Yishoufang sighed and whispered in Chinese:

"The sinner of the ages...Liu...Da...Xia..."

Although I can't understand the first four words, Thiago can at least remember the pronunciation, but I can't hear the last three words clearly.

"What do the last three syllables mean?" Thiago asked without understanding.

"Oh, that's my personal name. He was the pride of our Hunan in the third year of Tianshun." Liu Yishou changed to Chinese at this time.

Although both Hunan and Hubei are now belong to Huguang, it was known as Hunan in the Tang Dynasty. Just as Zhejiang has east and west Zhejiang, and south and south Jiangbei, Hunan has always been widely known as a geographical concept.

Liu Yishou sighed, and said in a low voice as if he was talking to himself: "But now, he is just an ancient man who was angry because of his good intentions..."

Thiago had no idea what he was saying, and when he wanted to ask again, he was driven out by the crew with a butt.

After getting off the boat, he returned to the beach and squatted. The tax officer came over to ask Thiago if he had found out.

"I found out, but I didn't understand it very much." Thiago said distressedly: "I just heard clearly that there was a word that seemed to be 'Hulan'."

"Holl?nder?" The tax officer's eyes lit up. The Habsburg dynasty was a god-like person and could speak German.

"Yes, that's the pronunciation." Thiago gave a thumbs up. He was such a clever little ghost. No wonder he could become a tax officer.

"What else?" the tax officer asked enthusiastically.

"There is another word..." Thiago frowned and thought for a while, and said unsurely: "Is it angry?"

"Fliegend?" the tax officer asked after thinking.

"Yes, that's the word!" Thiago slapped his thigh, looked at the giant ship comparable to the Lubeck Eagle, and suddenly realized: "Fliegend Holl?nder! It's the name of this ship's ghost ship!"

"It turns out it's called 'Flying Dutchman'..." The tax officer was also satisfied and said: "What a good name!"

~~

An hour later, Liu Yi was guarding a team of sailors and appeared calmly in front of the prisoners.

He didn't know that his ancestors had changed from "Hunan" to "Dutch", otherwise he would probably not be in the mood to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf again.

This allowed him to announce Commander Lin's orders in a happy mood.

Lin Feng did what he said and all the prisoners were released immediately.

But considering the indiscriminateness and release all the things, Spanish officers and soldiers who were established may immediately arrest the slave paddlers.

This is obviously contrary to Commander Lin's order.

"Commander Lin said that he would release all of them, and he would have to give everyone freedom!" Liu Yishou shouted loudly in stumbled Spanish: "So our commander decided to let you go separately! All the slaves and prisoners set off on three large sailboats. The rest left on the galleys!"

"Protest!" The Spaniard buzzed, and was very dissatisfied.

The officers and soldiers from Mexico were dissatisfied with the fact that the slave paddlers had left, who would row their boats?

The crew of the Treasure Ship became even more angry. Their ship was worth 300,000 to 400,000 pesos. How could they let the lowly slaves drive away?!

"The protest is invalid." Liu Yishou snorted coldly: "Whoever talks nonsense will be executed directly!"

The Spanish were silent and no one wanted to lose their lives at the last moment.

"I can't figure out my identity anymore, bah!" Liu Yishou spat and turned back to the "flying Hulan people... Oh no, the Dutch people" in the Spanish mouth came forward and went to report.

So the crew, as ordered, first released the slaves and prisoners, and carried them on small boats to three Spanish sailboats moored in the bay.

Among the prisoners, most of them were pirate smugglers, and there were not many sailors needed to drive the sailing ships, so it was no problem to drive these three treasure ships away.

This made them very happy. If there were such a good boat back then, how could they be caught by the anti-smuggling brigade?

With these three boats, why don’t you walk sideways in the Caribbean in the future?

As for those slave paddlers, they were also fooled into becoming their subordinates. They wore shackles together, ate, slept and paddled together every day, and they did develop some team consciousness and class feelings. So everyone decided to form a pirate fleet to do some good things in the Caribbean and avenge the Spaniards! After getting rich, they went home!

They were going to Panama to have a ticket first, because the gold and silver mined by the Spanish from Peru would be transported there, and they would gather to wait for the ship to be shipped in the autumn...

The prisoners here happily set off, but the Spaniards on the shore were still staring at each other.

Their galleys were originally just broken and leaking. However, the Ming people not only took away all their artillery, ammunition, weapons and armor on the grounds of collecting military supplies. They also removed only a keel to them...

How did you go out to sea?

Lin Feng doesn’t care about so much, it would be great to keep them alive.

Shortly after the three large sailing ships left, she also led a full fleet to sail from Guantanamo... Oh no, Ma Yishan Bay.
Chapter completed!
