Chapter 176 The Profit-seeking Nature of Capital

Three months, fleeting.

During this period, Rorschach did not go out to plunder himself, but sat in Nassau to preside over the overall situation.

Rorschach, who once served as the deputy mayor of Saint-Denis and has experience in managing large cities, managed a small town of Nassau with ease.

As a leader, you don't have to do everything yourself.

That's too inefficient and prone to sudden death.

As long as you know the right people and put the right people in the right place, you can play a role and make the entire pirate republic work.

Of course, his task is much more arduous than when he was in Saint-Denis.

Because all the "talents" under him are pirates!

And most pirates only know how to fight and kill, let them how to rob ships, how to escape the pursuit of the navy fleet, they are experts;

How to make good rum, how to flirt with prostitutes, where the airlines are easier to grab, they can also talk to you a lot of things.

But let them build it, and they can only stare blankly, saying it will only insult his freedom.

Therefore, Rorschach also had some headaches at first.

However, he figured it out quickly.

It doesn't matter, you can learn it.Anyway, no one is born with a certain skill.

Of course, except for guys like Edward who have the halo of the protagonist
Pirates who can count are classified into the Ministry of Finance and act as accountants; carpenters on board help with construction.

As for pirates who don't know any skills and only have a lot of strength, they can also move bricks.

Rorschach also introduced a pirate point system to mobilize the enthusiasm of the pirates.

Different jobs, while being paid, can also accumulate points.

The number of points can be selected first when the major fleets need to replenish crew members, and they can also take up different positions in various departments.

What's more, in addition to pirates, Nassau, as the most populous gathering place in the Bahamas, also has many residents.

Whether it is the local residents or the pirates of the Pirate Republic, they are all part of Nassau.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the people of Nassau, after three months, the sanitation of the town has been greatly improved, and large public bathhouses and toilets have also been built one after another.

On the streets, there are fewer rats running around, and there are also fewer piles of domestic garbage.

The fort fortress related to Nassau's coastal defense has finally been completed after more than a year.

After discussion by the parliament, this stone fortress with [-] cannons and a capacity of [-] soldiers was named "Fortress of Liberty".

As the name suggests, this fortress will fight to defend the freedom of the entire Nassau!

Just as Nassau was changing day by day, good news came from Blackbeard:
After three months of conquest, the combined pirate fleet took the main large islands of the Bahamas, Harbor Island, Grand Bahama Island, Andrews Island, Abaco Island, and Louis Island.

In addition, several simple piers were initially built, and several pirate ships were left to patrol to ensure that ships were not allowed to enter and leave the island at will.

Afterwards, Rorschach called all the merchants and farmers in the big island area to the fortress to sit down and have a good talk.

Many businessmen in the Bahamas bought pirates' stolen goods at low prices, and then sold them to other port cities at high prices to earn the difference.

For a long time, this stolen goods market has been very irregular, and the purchase price fluctuates from time to time. To a certain extent, the interests of the pirates have been damaged.

The merchants were sure that the pirates could not find a formal sales channel, so they desperately lowered the price.

However, pirates are not stupid either.

Your price is too low, then I will find a higher price merchant.

The game between merchants and pirates has always been prone to various problems.

It is also very common to kill people for money.

Therefore, this time, Rorschach intends to use the name of the Pirate Republic to regulate the price and market for the sale of stolen goods, so that both parties can get what they need.

From now on, the Pirate Republic will collect a certain Nassau tax from the returning pirates, and then sell the remaining goods to merchants at the same price.

As for the selling price, it depends on the means of the merchants themselves.

In this way, not only the goods of the pirates can be sold smoothly, but also the merchants do not have to bid maliciously with each other to compete for the goods in the hands of the pirates.

It can also avoid unnecessary troubles and troubles.

After some intense bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement and signed a commercial agreement.

Businessmen in the Bahamas, after private discussions, also formed a loose chamber of commerce.And set up an office in Nassau, specifically to connect with the Pirate Republic.

This is the profit-seeking nature of capital!
If there is a 20.00% profit, the capital will be ready to move;

If there is a 50.00% profit, the capital will take risks;

If there is a [-]% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head;

If there is a [-]% profit, capital dares to trample on all laws in the world!
. . . . . .

Fort of Liberty, inside the speaker's office.

With the help of the candlelight on the table, Rorschach was seriously reviewing the financial report of the Ministry of Finance.

In the past three months, although the market for selling stolen goods has been regulated, the income of pirates has increased.

However, in Nassau, both materials and workers need to be paid for construction.

Therefore, the Republic's finances still seem to be beyond its means.

"It seems that we have to form an ocean-going fleet as soon as possible, and go to the Indian Ocean to make a fortune..."

Just as Luo Xia was thinking this way, there were two knocks on the door suddenly.

Looking up, he saw his little fan, Alonzo Batilla, standing in front of the open door.

"Alonzo, what's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, someone wants to see you."

"who is it?"

"He didn't say his name, he just said he was from Havana, and he said something strange, let me pass it on to you. He said that as long as you hear it, you will understand..."

Hearing that the other party was from Havana, Rorschach frowned.

Two months ago, he received news from the Assassin branch in Havana that Torres had resigned from the post of Governor of Cuba because of issues such as the robbery of the Ark and corruption.

Even so, Torres, as the highest master of the Caribbean branch of the Knights Templar, still has a lot of energy.

Not only was he not transferred back to Spain for investigation because of these problems, but he also stayed in Havana and continued to affect the situation in Havana.

Obviously, Torres was a little upset that Rorschach hadn't visited him for several months?

Or, he had already heard about the changes in Nassau, so he specially sent someone to find him?

Or, I think too much.

It was not the Templars who came, but the Assassins.

It may be that the Assassin Brotherhood needs his help, or maybe.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Luo Xia immediately put down the parchment in his hand, and asked casually:
"Oh, what is it?"

"May the Father of Insight guide us..."
