[Red House] The First Imperial Merchant

Chapter 86 Meet the Pirates

The twenty girls sent by Charles finally stayed on the ship, and they were placed on the main ship, under Zhao Hongyi's nose, he was relieved.You can’t see the land for three or four months while sailing at sea, and even if you do see the land, you won’t see many women. Wang Jia is very strict about the discipline on board. Sailors and soldiers are not allowed to go off the land to harm good women. If there is no red light district, you can endure it. Well, there were no women on board before, if the brothers couldn't help being gourd babies, Wang Jia would turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

Now there are twenty fair-skinned and beautiful English girls on board, with blond hair and green eyes. Although they are located in different places, as long as they are beautiful, they are pleasing to the eye no matter where they are.Wouldn't there be trouble if these twenty girls were put on another ship?Can you say go back? !Zhao Hongyi is now a bit of an iron rooster businessman, don’t give things for nothing, not to mention a little to tease Jia Huan, in fact, these women are also dedicated to his father and prince when they are sent back. In order to put a woman in his father's second brother's house.

With such thoughts in mind, these twenty girls are temporarily serving as maidservants on the main ship, and Baode is in charge of teaching them all. They also need to learn Chinese when teaching the rules. As for dancing?The dancers sent by Charles were originally first-class dancers, some with young and innocent looks, some with sex, and their dancing styles are very styled in England and other parts of Europe, so there is no need for Baode to teach them.

Baode originally wanted these girls to change into Daqing clothes, but aside from the fact that there were no women's clothes on board, Zhao Hongyi liked to look at these white breasts. He was young and had no evil thoughts in his eyes. The skirt is very pretty, with crisp breasts and slender waist showing thin white ankles. This style is completely different from the conservative Daqing girls, but it is unique and very attractive.

The phrase "take short hands" has never appeared in Zhao Hongyi's dictionary, who is he?Fu Wang!Good things are offered everywhere, if it is true to this sentence, if you get your favor, you have to do things for you, so the king of Fu is so busy? !

King Fu doesn't know how to deal with people, but Jia Huan does. Otherwise, why is Charles the only one of the four major merchants who gave extra gifts?On this day, Charles sent out an invitation card to invite guests from the East to have dinner. After living in England for more than a month, Zhao Hongyi had had enough of the food in England, except for potatoes. Well, what steak is there.After one or two meals, it still feels fresh. After eating it for more than ten days, Zhao Hongyi misses the stewed beef and braised beef made by his chef.Therefore, Jia Huan was not interested in Charles' invitation, but Jia Huan was very interested. If Charles asked them only, they must have something to ask for, but if they ask, they must pay for it. Jia Huan was staring at Charles and thinking about what to exchange!

"Since you won't go, then I will go." Jia Huan said directly.

When Zhao Hongyi heard this, his brows were raised slightly, "I'll go with you, the master told me to take good care of you before leaving." Seeing that Jia Huan still looked so cold, he couldn't help explaining: "Hey! Don't worry Lah! These women are all given to the emperor and the prince, well, leave some for me too, I have never seen such white breasts."

"Except for the nanny, you have never seen a woman's breasts before!?" Jia Huan said coolly.

Zhao Hongyi was angry, but Jia Huan was telling the truth, so he could only stammer and retort that he had seen it before, but he knew that he lacked confidence.

Although Charles' manor is not as majestic as Windsor, but the scenery is good, with a sense of exquisiteness and small bridges.As soon as the four sat down, a maid served tea and learned that Fu Wang and Jia Huan were underage, so red wine was naturally not allowed.The black tea here has a special taste, sweet and delicate. The tea set used was brought from Daqing. The servants served the snacks, the three of them chatted, Ma Huan translated, and Charles spoke humorously. The scene was very relaxed and leisurely.Zhao Hongyi, who had made do with it, was also attracted by the little stories Charles talked about.

Dinner is steak.When Zhao Hongyi saw the steak on the table, he regretted that he should have eaten some snacks and went back.But in front of outsiders, Zhao Hongyi is still very majestic, he ate two pieces in a proper manner and then stopped moving. Seeing this, Charles smiled and said, "Oh, prince, don't you like steak?"

Zhao Hongyi nodded, with a slight smile on his face, "Mr. Charles should try our Daqing food." After a pause, "The steak is also very delicious, but the taste of eating all day will not be as surprised as it was at the beginning."

After hearing this, Charles agreed, and hurriedly ended the dinner.Because Charles found that if he hadn't taken the initiative to ask the prince of the East, the two distinguished guests never spoke during the dinner.Ma Huan wiped his mouth and explained with a smile, "Daqing has a saying that you don't talk when you eat, which means you don't talk when you eat."

"Daqing is really a mysterious country." Charles said yearningly.

Chatting after the meal, Charles finally revealed the purpose of the banquet. The Pofeng will set sail in ten days. This Charles also has a fleet, which is about the same size as the Xue family. This time he wants the Pofeng to take shelter , to go to the legendary South America to discover gold mines.However, Charles obviously had scruples. He didn't talk about discovering gold mines, but only said that he would go to South America to explore the New World.

Jia Huan pondered. Hearing Charles' tone, it was obvious that they would go if they didn't protect him.It's too beautiful to think about sheltering Charles' fleet with just one meal!Unknowingly, Jia Huan and Zhao Hongyi's thinking direction vaguely resembles that of profiteers.

"I heard that there is a piece of sea in the Atlantic Ocean called Nassau. This Nassau is a frequented place for pirates. If you want to go to South America, you must pass through a piece of sea." Jia Huan said this, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Mr. The wind horn is not used as a gun for nothing."

Ma Huan thought for a while, and then conveyed the meaning of being a spearman.A hint of embarrassment flashed in Mars's eyes. He has been in business for so long, and everyone has flattered him. Even the king is tactful when talking to him.However, a businessman is a businessman, with a gentle smile on his face, he said that he would pay the protection fee.

Jia Huan shook his head, "Mr. Mars, we are friends, how can a friend ask for asylum fees?! Don't you think so?"

Mars was stunned by Jia Huan for a while, why is the previous one the same as the latter! "Two friends, Charles has a lot of enthusiasm. If you help me, I will naturally repay you two."

Zhao Hongyi also knew what Jia Huan meant when he heard this.Since the other party insisted on leaving, no matter whether they allowed or vetoed, people would go to America. In this case, they wanted the initiative.Zhao Hongyi moved his index finger, and Zhao Hongyi smiled kindly, and said, "Mr. Charles is welcome to take the adventure with us, but since Mr. Charles asked for asylum, he must obey the Broken Wind along the way and even landed. Mr. Charles is acceptable?" Finally, his eyes were cold. up.

When Charles heard it, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Hongyi's words. He didn't have the initiative on his side. Even if he followed him to the Americas for asylum, he would still take the big head.But the fact that there are gold mines in America is a clue that he spent a lot of gold to buy, how did the Pofeng know?Some were undecided, and finally said: "I need to think about it, please give me a few more days."

"It's natural." Zhao Hongyi nodded and smiled.

Charles thought about it for three days, and then sent a letter, saying that he should be one step ahead, of course, the words are much more beautiful, why first explore the way for his friend Pofeng.After reading the letter, Jia Huan smiled and handed the letter to Zhao Hongyi, shook his head and said in disdain, "It's all about profit! Why don't you tell us how to find the way." But it also confirmed that Charles really knew that there were gold mines in America.

The Broken Wind did not change its itinerary because of Charles' early departure. Seven days later, the 160 ships were replenished. The potato seeds, tomato seeds, etc. from England arrived, as well as some local products and decorations. In short, I refer to Xue Scorpion The shopping list, the cheap telescope kaleidoscope sold in England and some dowry for girls, after tossing to Daqing, these things can be multiplied several times, which can be said to be a good business with huge profits.

On the day of sailing, all the English nobles who had dealt with Zhao Hongyi at the port came to see him off. The fleet set sail slowly, without stopping at any small islands or countries, and directly crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean.This trip lasted five months on the sea. At the end of December, Jia Huan and Zhao Hongyi were going crazy when they were floating on the sea. They hadn’t seen land for five months. In the middle of the month, that is, the third day of the lunar calendar in the Daqing Dynasty, they finally sailed into the waters of Nassau.

"Is this the sea area frequented by pirates?" Zhao Hongyi asked.

Jia Huan nodded, "Where do you think Charles is now?" Although they traveled ten days earlier than them, they never stopped to resupply the ship after traveling at sea for less than half a year. On the way, but did not see Charles' fleet along the way, Jia Huan was very curious. "Could it be already here?"

Zhao Hongyi obviously didn't believe in the speed of Charles' fleet, "Maybe it's resupplying on a small island! Who knows, let him alone!"

Just as he was talking, Wang Jia reported outside, "My lord, just after the captain came to report, the thick fog cleared ahead, and we could vaguely see the two fleets fighting."

The two brothers who were idle and flustered on the sea immediately regained their spirits when they heard that there was something lively to watch. Zhao Hongyi was the first to say, "Can you see clearly? How far is it from us?"

"Eight miles, it's too far, and the telescope can't see it clearly. The captain slowed down and came to report, asking the prince to give instructions." Wang Jia said.Zhao Hongyi couldn't make up his mind for a while, if the two fleets were fighting, he would just go to pick up the bargain at the end.So he said decisively: "Just drive at this speed, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, Sa Ya turned upside down, and when Baode heard it later, he raised his heart, "Hey, my ancestor!" Then he went out to escort .

Jia Huan laughed and shook his head, he couldn't stand Zhao Hongyi's appearance, but he followed him out to watch the excitement, pretending to be an adult, but he was bored deep down.

The sea is very cold in winter, especially when it is foggy. The two of them were wrapped in cloaks and stood on the deck. Wang Jia knew that the two wanted to read gossip, so he handed over the binoculars. It is confirmed that the two fleets are fighting, and the other party has suffered heavy losses and is about to lose.

Jia Huan folded his clothes, and the more he looked at his brows, the more he frowned, "Hey! Is that Charles' fleet that is about to lose?" Charles' family crest is a rose, and half of it can be vaguely seen on the flag floating on the ship. It looks like a red flower, the wind is blowing, and the distance is far away. Jia Huan also guessed according to Charles' voyage time.

Zhao Hongyi was not interested in Charles. The two parties were doing business, and the business was over, so it didn't matter. Besides, Charles said that he didn't need asylum. In this case, even if it was confirmed that the Charles fleet was about to lose, Zhao Hongyi didn't bother to intervene.At this moment, he was staring at the battle intently, and said with a little excitement: "That pirate's flag is really interesting."

"Skeleton eats watermelon?!" Jia Huan thought it was very interesting when he saw it. The black is the skull and the red is the watermelon. No matter how you look at it, the pirate's flag is a bit funny.

The fleet is gradually approaching, perhaps the people on Charles' ship saw the Breaking Wind and sent a distress signal, and the pirate ship who was still showing off its might just now stopped when it saw the huge Breaking Wind, maybe it was thinking that both of them should be together. Grab it or quickly withdraw.
