Pirate's Intrusion System
Chapter 190 Benefits of the Age of Discovery
After openly discussing future plans with Becky, the King Pirates immediately began to vigorously acquire Becky's resources.
Whether it's a shell for daily use or a combat type, you can have as much as you want.
Will plans to use his ability to bring Becky back to the West Sea as soon as possible, but now that he is here, he cannot return empty-handed. So you have to bring back as many island specialties as possible.
Through this acquisition, Will finally understood why there are so few shellfish resources in Qinghai.
Because the people of Djerba don’t accept Pele at all.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is normal. What do they want Bailey for?
They basically only want iron products and glass products.
On an empty island where even the land is extremely precious, talking about the production of minerals is basically nonsense.
Needless to say, iron products, glass is actually made of quartz, which is also a kind of mineral.
In Kongdao, what kind of person can be called a rich man?
There are iron utensils for cooking, mirrors for dressing, and windows at home.
It's that simple
Therefore, these two daily necessities are the hard currency used in transactions between Qinghai people and Kongdao people.
The current residence of the King Pirates was named skybo graden by Will, which means sky garden.
This area is enough for more than 200 members of the King Pirates to live and train. The total price is: one ton of iron products.
This is an unimaginable price in Qinghai
A ton of iron products is worth just a few million beli.
As we all know, the reason why compasses cannot be used on the Grand Line is because the magnetism of the islands is too strong. In other words, the mineral reserves in the pirate world are particularly high.
Therefore, Qinghai’s minerals are extremely cheap.
But the problem is.
No matter how low the price of these things is, the weight is there
A fully loaded large merchant ship can only carry more than ten tons. If supplies and crew are added, this number will drop significantly.
Therefore, for the caravans in Qinghai, even if they discovered the existence of the empty island, the biggest problem is how to transport tradable goods.
With this comparison, the power of Becky's Castle Fruit is immediately highlighted.
As a castle, it’s not weight that limits storage capacity, but space.
Small and heavy goods such as iron products and glass products are suitable for human express delivery.
If nothing else, there is now a small ordnance processing factory in Beki. If they dismantle the iron and glass products in the castle and melt them, it would be enough for them to return home with a full load.
In the future, if Becky is fully prepared in Qinghai, the goods that can be brought are unimaginable
The surprise doesn't stop there
In the process of using his flying ability to investigate, Fabio discovered something amazing.
"Captain, this is it."
Will was walking in a dense forest with several close crew members and Silas.
The trees in the dense forests here generally secrete a milky white viscous liquid.
Qrow dipped a little with his finger, tasted it with his mouth, and then spat it out. Nodding to Will, "Young Master, it is indeed a rubber tree."
Rubber trees, as the name suggests, are trees that can produce rubber.
Rubber is a very precious resource.
At least that's the case in Qinghai.
From military equipment to infusion tubes, rubber is indispensable.
As long as it is a large instrument, from ships, trains, to cannons, rubber is indispensable. In another world, rubber was the core product that directly promoted the industrial revolution. In the pirate world, the production of rubber has actually become one of the reasons that hinders the development of the pirate world into the industrial world.
In fact, Tom the Fishman should be working on the sea train by now.
But why have you studied it for so many years?
One of the problems is that rubber is too expensive in Qinghai
The reason lies in the growth environment required by rubber trees.
Rubber trees must grow in the tropics, where they will be frostbitten if the temperature falls below 5 degrees Celsius. They also require fertile land and year-round rain to grow.
But the biggest feature of the pirate world is the unpredictable weather, especially in the Grand Line.
Just one cold snap is enough to destroy an entire patch of rubber trees.
But just as Kongdao agrees with all these conditions
So it’s not surprising that there are so many naturally growing rubber trees here.
These rubbers, taken to Qinghai, are almost as valuable as gold.
"You call these rubber trees," Silas asked aloud, "We call them poison trees."
A look of disgust on his face.
Will asked strangely, "Why is it called the poisonous tree?"
Silas replied, "Wood is not a good material. The leaves and seeds are also poisonous. Children in the village often get poisoned by accidentally eating the leaves of the poisonous tree. It can be said that there is no output. What is it called a poisonous tree if it is not called a poisonous tree?"
Then he muttered again, "It's also very long. No matter how much I cut it, I can't cut it all off."
Craig's mouth widened, "Could it be that you have been cutting down rubber trees? What are you doing with them?"
Silas said matter-of-factly: "It's all waste if you burn it. Waste, especially around the village. The growth of poisonous trees is very dangerous."
Will and the others looked at each other.
A similar word appeared in my mind.
"In other words, poisonous trees are worthless in Djerba"
"Not only is it worthless, but it is a money-losing village that will pay the villagers to destroy it. Poisonous forests like this are wasteland and no one will live there."
At this time, there was only one voice in Will's mind. This time he made a lot of money.
"If I invite someone to come here to collect the sap of poisonous trees, will it be very cheap?"
Silas looked at Will with an idiot look, "Of course this is a job that women and children can do easily. If you can find jobs for people who can't work, the elders will probably be very grateful to you."
"But you don't look like such a stupid person."
Will scratched his head.
"Ha ha."
Of course I'm not stupid anymore
Returning to the Hanging Garden, Will eagerly ordered, "Immediately ask the locals to collect as much rubber as they want."
Kuro bowed and said, "My subordinates have given orders on the way back."
Craig rubbed his fingers and said, "Boss, if you bother to fly two more times, we will really not be short of money."
Zong Yan retorted, "How can it be appropriate for the young master to transport it himself? We have to find a stable route as soon as possible."
Will clapped his hands and said, "No matter what, we must take advantage of the unequal advantages of this resource to establish sufficient financial resources for the pirate group."
The inequality of resources is the greatest charm of the Age of Discovery.
In another world, there is a country known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, called Britain. This country once established the largest empire in human history. It relies on the advantages brought by the Age of Discovery.
Before that, the royal family of that country was so poor that they had to borrow money to hire people to go to sea.
The difference between the front and back is so huge that it is simply unimaginable
Now, Will has this huge advantage
Kongdao’s resources must be used by him and must be used only by him
Clench your fists tightly.
"I will definitely capture this island"
At this moment, Raphael suddenly walked in.
"Captain, Xizier is back."
