Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

The market at the dock will also start operating in a couple of days. Of course, the system trading function has been closed by Varian, so ordinary people cannot buy things from the system. The market at the dock only provides a place, and you have to prepare what to sell yourself.

Gryan Stoutmantle came over and said, "The market salesmen have been recruited, but what should our market sell?"

"It's mainly the spoils of war we seized from the jackals last time, including wild boar meat, linen, woolen materials, etc."

These spoils had not been processed yet and were temporarily stored in the supply warehouse. Varian could only take them out for the time being.

"Isn't that a bit too little variety?" said Gryan Stoutmantle.

Varian thought about it and realized that it was indeed a little too little. How could the passing ships buy it? So he said to Gryan Stoutmantle, "Well, you arrange for someone to go to Moonbrook and buy some Morning Dew Wine, juice, bread, liver pie and cheese, herbs, potions, and more wine."

Varian thought that the alcohol should sell well, after all, the crew and sailors drank alcohol every day.

It seemed like something hadn't been arranged yet. Varian thought about it and realized that there was no need to arrange anything for the fishing boat. The boat purchased by the system had all the basic tools.

All that was left were the crab fishermen's tools. Varian looked at the blacksmith shop at the base, which could produce crab nets, crab cages, and long-handled crab clamps, and produced another batch.

The next day, Varian asked Grayson to set off with two hundred crew members and fishermen, so that they could familiarize themselves with the ship and the sea environment and try fishing.

In this era, the main culture was still farming, so there were not many fishing boats in the sea. Many sea areas were full of fish. If you could find the right sea area, the harvest should be considerable.

If the fishing is successful, we can purchase a large number of fishing boats from the system later on, so that the fishing boats can be spread all over the ocean, and other countries will not be able to compete!

Because the shipbuilding costs of other countries are much higher than the ships Varian purchased from the system.

Even in Nanhai Town, where shipbuilding is relatively developed, an ordinary transport ship that can accommodate 200 people, the kind that often docks at the Stormwind Port, costs more than 10,000 gold coins to manufacture. In addition, the manufacturing time of a ship is also very long. It is very normal to order a ship and wait for several months for delivery.

Varian only needs 2000 gold coins plus 20 units of wood to buy a ship at the system dock. Not only is it cheap, but it also takes no time to manufacture. How can other countries compete!

After the fishing boat Wave set off, the crab fishermen could also set out. Of course, this was the first day, and they only attempted to catch crabs on the beach near the dock.

There are several main types of crabs on Long Beach, one is sea crab, one is beach crab, and the other is sand crab. These crabs are very large and their meat tastes good. Both the crab meat and crab claws can be eaten. Boiled crab claws are particularly popular among Stormwind residents, so the price is acceptable.

These crabs can be found throughout the long coastline of the fertile western plains.

Long Beach is far away, many days' journey from Stormwind City, and Moonbrook has a small population, so not many people catch crabs on the beach. These resources will basically fall into Varian's hands.

Since the dock was new and the lighthouse had not been built yet, Varian was afraid that the passing fleet would not be aware of it. After some thought, he had two tall flags erected at the dock, one was the flag of Stormwind Kingdom, and the other was the flag of Daggerridge Fortress.

The flag fluttered in the sea breeze, making it very conspicuous.

At night, the Wave returned. Looking at Captain Grayson's smug look on his face, he must have gained a lot!

After following Grayson onto the wave, Varian was stunned.

The entire boat was filled with all kinds of sea fish, mainly colorful fin fish, smooth-skinned mackerel, black-mouth fish, fire-scale eel, as well as lobsters and shellfish, filling the entire boat.

Grayson said proudly, "Today we went out to sea, in the waters near Dagger Ridge. I think because there were few fishing boats nearby, we found that the fish resources were particularly abundant. We were able to catch a boatload of fish in a day. I estimate that it must be several thousand kilograms."

Varian gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job, I knew I chose the right person!"

Several thousand kilograms of sea fish and lobsters, if all are sold, based on the prices in Storm Kingdom, the estimated income will be between two thousand and three thousand gold coins.

You're rich! Just one boatload of fish can earn you two to three thousand gold coins. You should know that the base's congress only earns four thousand gold coins a day.

If he builds a few more ships, Varian's income is expected to catch up with Stormwind City. It costs more than 10,000 gold coins to build a ship in Stormwind City, but it only costs 2,000 gold coins to buy a ship by himself. Who will be the future overlord of the ocean? It can only be Varian!

Varian asked the crew to move some of the sea fish into the supply warehouse for storage, and most of the others were taken to the nearby Moonbrook Town for sale.

Yuexi Town has a large population, so it can digest one shipload of sea fish. But if there are more shiploads of fish, they will have to be transported to Stormwind City before they can be digested.

Then the crabbing team came back, their cages full of several kinds of crabs, mainly four kinds: sea crabs, beach crabs, sea crabs, and sand crabs. It was estimated that there were more than a thousand kilograms, which was another several hundred gold coins of income.

After all the crabs were put into the supply warehouse, Varian breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, the Congress only had an income of 4,000 gold coins a day. In order to build buildings and recruit soldiers, the income was not enough to cover the expenses every day, and his own private money was almost spent. It was not until today that he had a dock and a fishing boat, and he was really on track.

Unfortunately, no other fleets had docked at the dock today, so there was nothing for sale in the market.

But Varian was not in a hurry, as he had plenty of time to slowly improve the Dagger Ridge Port.

There are still many things that are not perfected yet. We don't have a hotel yet. Without a hotel, where would the crew stay when the fleet docks at night? They can't always live in the castle, which is their office and staff dormitory.

A blacksmith shop should also be built next to the dock to facilitate the repair of ships.

Once this place develops and becomes bustling, Varian wants to open a specialty restaurant here, selling fresh seafood and Western Wilderness specialties, such as pork liver pie, miscellaneous stew, grilled pork chops, delicious small fish, and long-mouthed loaches.

The sales of sea fish in Yuexi Town were surprisingly smooth. They were freshly caught and inexpensive, which made the residents who were tired of eating wild boar meat overjoyed. In less than half a day, a boatload of seafood was sold out.

Seeing this, Varian bought two more ships, recruited four hundred sailors and fishermen, formed a fleet, and put Grayson in charge of the fleet.

The money invested in buying a ship can be recovered in one day. It is too profitable and we must hurry up to make money.
