Feng Wuying looked at the more than 12,000 gold coins that had arrived, and his heart blossomed, and he came to Manlith Harbor for a trip, and he easily obtained almost 20,000 gold coins, and there were also people who helped him transform the "Blood Fang" for free, which he didn't dare to imagine when he was killed before.After this vote, Feng Wuying will not have to worry about running out of money for a short time, and his next task is to improve the prestige of Port Manlith, and strive to replace the old guns on the "Blood Fang" with new ones as soon as possible.There are many ways to increase the prestige of Port Manlith, but the most straightforward is to go through the various bounty tasks offered by the Port Authority.With the strong backing of the "Bloody Fang", it is almost not difficult for Feng Wuying to complete these tasks, and he doesn't even have to stay online, as long as Eliel and they complete the tasks, and then he can go directly to hand in the tasks after he goes online.Feng Wuying was flipping through his previous tasks, ready to pick a few to pass the rest of the day, when Eliel and Murair came over.Looking at the expressions of the two of them who wanted to speak and stopped, Feng Wuying laughed and said, "What are you two doing here?"
When did it become so squirming?
”It took a long time for Eliel to squeeze a sentence out of his mouth: "Captain, I'......
I would like to ask you for some money and arm the crew of the ship. ”Feng Wuying was stunned: "Armed?
Crew?
”Murel on the side nodded and said: "Yes, captain, the crew of our ship has no weapons to defend themselves at all, in case of the previous broadside battle, if the enemy breaks through the defensive line, then the crew will not have any ability to protect themselves." ”After listening to this, Feng Wuying felt that it made sense, he nodded and asked, "You are right, if you want to arm the entire crew, what kind of weapons and equipment should you procure?"
How much does it cost?
”Elliel had obviously done his homework: "We now have two hundred crew members on the ship, each of whom needs a scimitar, and forty of them will also need chain mail and shields, preferably with a one-handed crossbow......
"He took out a list, reported everything he needed on it, and then looked up and said to Feng Wuying: "Captain, these supplies will cost about eight hundred gold coins in total. ”Feng Wuying's eyebrows jumped when he heard this number, he didn't go to the assembly of a small private army first, and it cost so much money just to equip it, and it cost eight hundred gold coins just for the equipment.Speaking of which, the monthly salary of the 200 crew members of the whole ship is only 40 gold coins, which shows that the cost of raising an army and a group of workers is completely different.Feng Wuying paused and asked Eliel, "But, after I buy these equipment, who will train them?"
I think they are still 'novice crews', and training to become 'armed crews' is not something that can be done overnight. ”Murray leaned over and said, "Captain, I can help you with this kind of work, but ......
There are a few small problems after training, so I might want to talk to you about them first. ”Feng Wuying nodded and said, "What's the problem?"
Just say it, and I'll try to help you out. ”Murray replied: "If all the crew members were trained to be 'armed crews', then the salaries of the crew would have to rise a lot, after all, the salaries of the crew members with different duties are completely different." ”Feng Wuying's eyebrows jumped again, and sure enough, no matter what world he was in, it was difficult to move an inch without money, but for the sake of the "Blood Fang", Feng Wuying still gritted his teeth: "No problem, you let it go, and I'll solve the money thing." ”Seeing that the 7,000 gold coins that had just arrived were taken away by Elliel to buy equipment and pay crew commissions, Feng Wuying felt that it was easy to spend money and difficult to make money."
This group of boys, if you take my money, you have to give me a lot of work, and I'll see if I don't have a full schedule for you, and everyone has to work overtime for me."
The ugly face of the capitalist gradually emerged."
Mr.
Wind Shadow," at this time, Selena suddenly appeared from behind Wind Shadow, she saw the sinister Wind Shadow, and asked after a moment's pause, "Mr.
Wind Shadowless, what are you talking about?"
”Feng Wuying hurriedly managed his expression: "It's nothing, Selena, Elliel They are going to buy a batch of weapons and equipment and arm the crew on the ship, in case they encounter a battle like a broadside battle in the future, and the crew is unarmed and unable to defend themselves." ”Selena nodded: "This is a good thing, I was a little worried before, but fortunately, in the battle with the 'Eel' just now, our crew was not damaged, everyone has weapons, and we have the bottom of our hearts in the face of these vicious pirates." ”Feng Wuying also nodded: "Well, I also think what they said is right, in this way, when they come back, you can also train these crew members with Murel, and then we will set sail in the afternoon to do the bounty mission." ”Selena seemed to feel that this task was very important, and puffed up her chest and said, "Yes, Mr.
Wind Shadow, I promise to complete the task." ”After dinner, Eliel and the others had already bought all their things, and Feng Wuying saw that the deck was full of rows of crew members, and everyone had received their own equipment.Of course, most of the crew members were only given a cutlass of the ship, after all, their main task was to deal with the things on board, and hand-to-hand combat was only a last-minute resort.The two rows of crew standing in the front were the primary targets of this arm, each of them was wearing chain mail, a small round shield in his left hand, a scimitar in his right hand, and Murel also equipped each with a small crossbow, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.Looking at the equipment on the crew's bodies and the weapons in their hands, Feng Wuying gritted his teeth and thought, this is all his hard-earned money, but for the sake of sustainable development, this money will be spent when it is spent, and it is also for the sake of the future.When Eliel saw that the wind was coming, he immediately stood upright and said loudly, "The captain is on board!"
”The rest of the crew also "crossed" and stood up straight: "Hello captain!"
”Not to mention, after wearing equipment and knives, Feng Wuying felt that these crew members were all much more energetic, and they looked a little heroic."
Okay, everyone take a break!"
Feng Wuying raised his hand and motioned for everyone to relax.He came to the front of the deck and glanced at the crew: "The reason why we are giving you these weapons and equipment today is because the previous battle with the 'Eel' exposed a lot of our problems. ”"Although our 'Blood Fang' has very sharp ranged weapons, it is inevitable that in the future when fighting pirates or other enemies, it will be necessary to fight in close quarters
