The strongest captain: I have a pirate system

None of the shipyards in the Hortagus Kingdom is privately owned, and all of them belong to the king. However, each shipyard has different characteristics, so internal competition is quite fierce. After all, workers’ wages depend on performance, and shipyards without engineering will naturally disappear. income.

For example, the No. [-] factory in Guli had not received the order for two months. Needless to say, No. [-] and No. [-] next door, No. [-] and No. [-] were all delayed until the second half of the year.

Last year, a double-decker merchant ship "Beasley's Mushroom" manufactured by their factory disintegrated in the wind and waves, because this happened in the main channel, and many people saw it, so the business of No. [-] factory plummeted, and it was completed After the last few orders, they basically couldn't accept orders.

In fact, they are not to blame for this incident, because the ship had a major collision accident before, and the captain was in a hurry to go to sea before it was repaired, which led to the tragedy.

However, even though the official clarifications were made, the people were outraged, especially after the families of the victims cried, and the No. [-] shipyard became even colder.

Geng Guli also received a notice from above that if no new orders were received in the past few months, the No. [-] factory would be restructured, all workers would be dismissed, and designers and managers like them would have to be laid off.

So it was a headache for Geng Li to go out and find those big ship ordering companies to make orders, even if they were released at the best price, no one was willing to place an order in the No. [-] factory.

"Factory Manager, Passy is fighting with the No. [-] factory again." When Geng Guli returned to the factory, he heard a report from his subordinates that Passy was his nephew. Sidang's own son, and Paxi is also a good player trained in Guli, but his temper exploded a bit.

Geng Guli was not in the mood to reprimand his nephew, so he said: "Let him come back, don't worry about the gossip from people outside."

Not long after, a big bald man came in, and seeing the dejected Geng Guli, he was a little ashamed: "Uncle, I..."

"It's okay, I know it all." Geng Guli comforted him, "Whether the factory will be disbanded or not is uncertain, don't bother with those guys."

"But their words are too harsh." Passy said, "He actually said that we made sea coffins..."

"This is the lesson. In the future, no matter what, we can't hand over the defective products, because it will ruin our reputation." Geng Guli said, "If there is no other way, we can only leave Hortagus and go to Private shipyards in other countries will at least not starve to death."

The two fell into silence, and the boatmen who heard the words were also a little depressed. Decades of youth have been swayed in this shipyard, and it is really reluctant to leave!

At this time, there was the sound of running hurriedly outside the door, and a young boatman ran in: "Director, someone wants to place an order."

Geng Guli raised his head in surprise, and then the young man said, "I was stopped by the No. [-] Factory."

Passy scolded directly: "It's those bastards again, I'll go out and take their jaws off right now!"

The young man stopped Passy: "That person didn't listen to Factory No. [-], and still decided to place an order with us."

"Can you fucking finish it all in one breath!" Percy gave him a kick, and walked out of the factory with his uncle. By the dock, a man, a woman, and three or four servants carrying a bunch of things were visiting there.

The visitors were just Liu Peng and the others. They were fine anyway, and Liu Peng really wanted to build a ship, so he walked along the road to the dock.

The boatmen who fought broke up before the guards arrived. After passing the pier, you can see the rolling shipyard, which is very spectacular, and it is indeed a pillar industry of a city-state.

When they came to a dock that was not in operation, a bored boatman saw them and came up to say hello: "Sir, do you want to order a boat?"

"Yes, I heard that Hortagus' shipbuilding industry is very developed." Liu Peng responded with a smile, "I want to build a ship of my own."

"Then you have come to the right place!" The boatman laughed, "The quality of our factory No. [-] is absolutely guaranteed!"

"Haha, the people in the No. [-] factory are trying to harm people again!" The workers of the No. [-] factory who hadn't gone far laughed, "Guests, don't go to the No. [-] factory to book a boat. disintegrated!"

Liu Peng was a little surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

The young boatman was a little embarrassed, but he nodded honestly: "Indeed, but there is a reason for that."

"The sinking of your factory's ship is the biggest reason!" The people of No. [-] factory continued to add insult to injury.

"I want to hear it." Liu Peng said unhurriedly, "The captain appreciates honest people."

The young boatman nodded and analyzed the reason for the disintegration of the ship: "...we have warned him before he set off that the current hull cannot withstand too big waves. If the weather is bad, don't go out. Listen, it is also said that all responsibility is borne by him, but how can a dead man bear it?"

"So it's like this. My father always said that people's words are scary." Christine interjected, "It's really scary. Your factory hasn't been open for a long time, right?"

"That's right." The boatman smiled helplessly, "Work has been suspended for several months, and our factory will be disbanded if we go any further."

Christine nodded and tugged at Liu Peng's sleeve: "How about we go to Factory No. [-], the higher the serial number, the more powerful it should be."

"..." Everyone looked at Christine speechlessly at the same time, not knowing what to say.

Finally Liu Peng waved his hand: "No, I think number three is fine."

"Why?" Christine was puzzled.

Liu Peng looked at the empty dock and said, "Think about it, after you fell in a pit once, would you be more careful when passing that place again?"

Christine nodded, she knew what Liu Peng meant, and they walked in with the young boatman smiling happily.

The large dock did show signs of being closed for a long time, and the seaweed in some places has withered, which should be caused by not having been in water for a long time.

They were at the dock, and a few people ran out from the room next to them, and the leader stretched out his hand from a long distance: "I am the captain Geng Guli, welcome the guests, I heard that the guests are going to book a boat with us?"

"Yes, Director Gengguli." Liu Peng shook hands with him politely, "I don't know how big a ship your factory can make."

Geng Guli pointed at the dock and said arrogantly: "Look at the canal, we can build as big as we can fit."

"That's good. How many workers are there in your factory?" Liu Peng asked, "I'm in a hurry."

"There are 75 long-term workers and 136 short-term workers. If you are in a hurry, our factory can do it in three shifts. Erfan's fast boats have been out for sea trials for more than a month." Geng Guli said.

"Then I will make an order with you. I want to make a few requests. I don't know if you can accept them." Liu Peng said.

Geng Guli nodded: "You can talk about it, I can only say that I will try my best to meet your requirements."

"There are three decks, and about seven or eight shooting holes are reserved on each deck to shoot ballistas." Liu Peng drew out all the plans in his mind, "There is a place on the upper deck for trebuchets and rackets, you know A racket?"

Geng Guli looked solemn: "This is a warship, sir, you are..."

"Businessman!" Liu Peng laughed, "Armed businessman."

"Understood." Geng Guli smiled, "These shouldn't be a problem, and I'll ask my nephew to change a copy for you later."

"Is it your nephew?" Liu Peng was curious.

Passy hurried forward. Although he has a grumpy temper, he still judges people, and he is very docile to the boss: "It's me, sir. I designed the flagship of the Delga Kingdom's navy, the Trident."

Professionals!Liu Peng found that he found the right one, so he nodded: "That's no problem, you can make the blueprint for me, and I will provide the wood. Then you can calculate the price."

Timber is also a place to make money, but now the No. [-] factory is almost out of control, so Passi naturally has no problem, so he quickly agreed.

Liu Peng took out ten silver coins as a deposit for the drawings, and when his drawings came out, he began to build the ship.

After confirming the matter of building the ship, Liu Peng and others returned to the ship. Ella and the others probably didn't plan to come back, which meant that he and Christine lived on the same ship, and the rest were recruiting units.

A little bored, looking at the table of delicacies prepared by Xie Lifanda, he remembered that Christine seemed to have never tasted Xie Lifanda's craftsmanship, so he ran to the side of the boat and shouted: "Christine."

Christine was eating the snacks she bought today, when she heard Liu Peng's voice coming out strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Ahem." Liu Peng performed a gentlemanly chest salute, "Is it an honor to invite you to dinner? Beautiful lady."

"Hehe, hum, um~" Christine turned around, "I'll change clothes and go over."

Christine was obviously well-dressed, with a pink lace dress paired with a beautiful pink crystal necklace.

"You are so beautiful tonight." Liu Peng sighed.

Christine was happy, but pretended not to care: "Then I was ugly before?"

"In the past, you could only be considered a beauty." Liu Peng lightly grabbed her fingertips and led her to the captain's cabin, "Now, you are a fairy."

"Hypocrisy!" Christine walked in with a smile, "What delicious food did you prepare, if it's dried beef and fish, forget it, my teeth are not so good... Wow!"

Christine couldn't help but be so surprised. The steamed lobster, the abalone baked in braised oil, and the salad made of various refreshing seasonal vegetables, paired with rich mayonnaise, made Christine salivate after a long journey at sea.

It's time to hang up.

Liu Peng closed the door as if nothing had happened, then opened the stool for her, cut a piece of lobster meat with his own hands, dipped it in sweet sauce, and put it on Christine's dinner plate: "Please use it slowly."

Putting the lobster meat into her mouth, the freshness and sweetness of the shrimp meat and the sauce are perfectly combined, and the tender taste completely conquered her: "Delicious!"

After a delicious meal, Christine wiped her lips gracefully with a napkin, very satisfied: "You behaved very well, like a gentleman."

"Then don't you know that I, a gentleman, can invite my fairy sister to listen to stories from the East tonight?" Liu Peng raised his glass and asked.

Christine's face was reddish, and she didn't know whether it was hot or drunk, and whispered: "I will be an adult in seven days."

"This is a rehearsal for your birthday celebration." Liu Peng said, "I don't know if there is such an honor?"

"Um……"

It was night, and Christine did not leave the captain's cabin.
