A leisurely city for solo travelers

Chapter 296 23

Fang Xian hesitated for a while before asking: "Lord Governor, can I trust you?"

This time the governor did his part: "Of course, although I am not a businessman, I can swear by my title and surname."

"Okay." Fang Xian said bluntly, "This time, my fleet is fully loaded with 25 warehouses of oysters."

"25... warehouse..." The domineering aura of the governor just disappeared in an instant, and he only felt that he had entered a world of oysters, oysters that could never be eaten in a lifetime...

"I would like to hand over these oysters to the governor for you to raise them yourself."

"This... this... May I ask whether it should be handed over to the Governor's Mansion, or..." The governor swallowed deeply.

"You personally, Mr. Governor, haven't asked your name yet?"

"Governor 23, just call me 23."

"..." Fang Xian counted with his fingers. It seems that the governor is a surname and 23 is a first name. This family looks very deep.

The governor is a sensible person, knowing that good things come in vain: "Mr. Fang, what is your condition?"

"Help me keep the secret of the oysters, help me keep the living oysters, and make this port my exclusive port." Fang Xian said three conditions in one breath, one more than the other.

The governor immediately understood, his eyes widened, and he said calmly: "Are you bribing me?!"

"Yes, with 25 bins of oysters."

"Okay, I accept it, for the sake of oysters!" The governor took the hands of the captain Dongfang with tears in his eyes, "From now on, only the navy of the Fang family is allowed to trade here, and other fleets can only rely on the port for supplies. It is forbidden to step into the town!"

Now the exchange party was stunned. He thought that the governor would have to tangle for a while, and then he accepted the condition with embarrassment. How dare you accept bribes is such a happy thing?
In fact, I can't blame the governor. Bribing the governor is a setting in the game, and all governors will accept it as a matter of course.

It is also a risky move to directly bribe the governor with oysters to fill up the occupancy rate.

In the current situation, in order to block the news, it is the safest way to destroy the oysters of the whole ship.

But in this game... the goods cannot be destroyed and will not deteriorate.

There are only two ways to make a warehouse of goods disappear completely.

One is to sell.

The second is to let the cargo ship disappear directly.

If you sell it, you will be found out, and you will feel distressed if you directly destroy the ship, so Fang Xian simply throws it to the governor, asking him to help him keep the roots of the oysters, and by the way, make the port full of occupancy.Even if other forces find out about the changes here, they will not have much interest in competing. After all, the development of this port is too low, and other forces do not know that oysters, a gold trade product, will be here.

Therefore, Fang Xian chose to use bribes to occupy the port. If he continues to invest, with the improvement of Giadin's development, some new products will definitely appear, which will instead cause the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and the Preyla Chamber of Commerce. Notice.

After meeting with Governor 23, Fang Xian had no choice but to pull out sailors holding all kinds of girls from the tavern, bed, behind the hut, etc., forcing them to transport the goods from the ship to the Governor's Mansion.

Such grandiose bribery has decisively attracted the attention of the shopkeeper of the local exchange. Giadin’s exchange has never done any big business. Since it can only trade [rice], the exchange has gradually become a grain store for the locals. .Seeing the Chinese fleet fully loaded with cargo, this thin, semi-bald European wearing small round glasses naturally couldn't bear it anymore.

Fang Xian was not honest, he watched his surroundings vigilantly, for fear that someone would sneak away a box of goods, just like the medieval Dutch monopolized the production method of mirrors, as long as these things flow out, it is equivalent to losing tons of gold coins .Naturally, Daerba and Zhang Dashun were also ordered to supervise the work along the way.

The shopkeeper of the exchange briefly observed the three of them, and after confirming his thoughts, he moved to Zhang Dashun's side.

"Respected Lord Admiral, welcome to Giadin." The shopkeeper restrained his smile and tried to maintain his temperament so as not to be too flattering.

"Oh? Admiral..." Zhang Dashun was taken aback for a moment, and then his whole body was in a trance. The fat man rubbed his belly with joy, "What did you call me?"

"Lord Admiral."

"Okay... okay..." Zhang Dashun was very happy to be called, but when he turned around and saw the eldest young man of the Fang family, he immediately broke into a cold sweat again. He hurriedly wiped his forehead and whispered, "I'm just a part-time worker. The admiral of the fleet is over there..."

The shopkeeper stopped for a moment, wiped his glasses, and squinted his eyes to look again.

It's too abnormal, since it's a caravan, the admiral should obviously be a fat middle-aged man with a fat head, how could he be so young?

The shopkeeper began to question his own judgment, so he simply asked the fat man, "Then, can I call you Lord Adjutant?"

"This is okay!" Zhang Dashun was confused again, "If I hadn't led the way with my rich experience, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to reach Ji'ading."

"I admire, I admire, accurate surveyors are the most professional navigators!"

"The shopkeeper's compliment, haha, Zheng He, do you know? Back then I..."

"..."

After listening to a lot of nonsense, the shopkeeper finally chose an inappropriate time to insert the topic abruptly.

"Adjutant, I really can't imagine what kind of goods you can send here from a distant country after going through all kinds of hardships..."

Zhang Dashun has many shortcomings, but fortunately he has a strong IQ, so obviously he won't be tricked out so easily.

"Actually, I don't know about this." Zhang Dashun adopted the usual tactic of kicking the ball when he was in the officialdom. "The shopkeeper can directly negotiate with the admiral. I should not be involved in this matter."

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, the Orientals were really smart.

Just as he was talking, the goods were almost delivered, Governor 23 also came in person, and once again warmly hugged Admiral Fang.

"So that's how it is." The shopkeeper finally understood now that bribery and the like are commonplace.

Later, the governor also found the shopkeeper, and brought Fang Xian over to introduce him.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, this is Fang, the admiral of the Fang Family Navy."

"Nice to meet, nice to meet." The shopkeeper showed a restrained smile again and shook hands with Fang Xian.

"I guess your name is also 23." After expressing friendship, Fang Xian made a bold guess.

The governor smiled and said: "Yes, the shopkeeper's full name is Shopkeeper 23."

"It's really easy to be a parent." Fang Xian complained secretly.

After the introduction, the governor said again: "By the way, shopkeeper, I just signed a contract with Admiral Fang. Now Giadin is the exclusive port of Fang's navy, and you can sell all the goods to Fang."

The shopkeeper's heart trembled. In the past, a huge amount of investment was required to monopolize the port. Although the port can only trade with one power from now on, this huge investment will also allow the port's business to develop considerably.

But if it is monopolized by bribery...Giadin's prospects are worrying.
