Become the city lord from today

Early the next morning, Edward was waiting at the door of Zuixiao Tower again.

When they separated yesterday, Fenton and others said that they were going back to the Flanders Empire today.

"Good morning, Edward."Fenton said hello.

They all got up early today and sorted out all the things they bought last night.

"morning." Edward responded

"Is there a place that sells boats in Chang'an City?"Fenton asked. All three of their ships were detained in Haiyan City.

They didn't have a ship in Chang'an City. If they wanted to leave, they had to buy a ship. The three of them were worried for a long time last night.

"Go to the port, where you can rent a boat or take a ride." Edward suggested

"Is there no boat seller in Chang'an City? Randolph asked curiously.

In the Flanders Empire, ships can be purchased as long as you have enough money.

"There are small boats, but the big boats are not for sale, and the price of a boat is not cheap, and few people can afford it."Edward knew that the three of them didn't have much money left.

"By the way, Edward, what do you mean by smooth sailing? Fenton said curiously.

"Chang'an City's port has various ships bound for other cities every day, and sometimes they can carry some people along. Edward explained.

Fenton roughly understood the meaning of the downwind boat and continued to ask,"What about the price?""

"This pricing is divided into two aspects, based on time, location and what you carry." Edward explained

"How much money does it cost to go to Haiyan City? Randolph came over and asked.

Their boats were impounded in Haiyan City, and they wanted to take a smooth sailing boat to Haiyan City to exchange for their own boats.

"If just a few of us go to Haiyan City, including these goods, we will have to pay at least 700 copper coins."Edward said after thinking.

"The price is fair, but we have so many goods, I'm afraid......"Fenton said distressedly.

Edward nodded lightly and said,"There is too much cargo for a downwind ship to fit in, and not all ships go to Haiyan City.""

"Then we can only rent a boat, right? Fenton asked

"That's right, so much goods can only be taken to Haiyan City by chartering a boat. Edward nodded.

Fenton thought about it and said,"What about the price of renting a boat?""

"It depends on the size of the boat you rent. If you rent a 50-meter boat, you must pay a deposit of 20 gold coins before renting the boat."Edward explained.

Fenton and the others took a breath of cold air after listening and said in shock,"The deposit is so expensive?"

"The cost of building a ship is not cheap."Edward raised his eyebrows slightly.

"We have so much cargo, why do we need to rent a 50-meter boat? Fenton said distressedly.

"When you see the ship, you will feel that the gold coins were well spent."Edward said confidently

"Come on, we have to go back to the Flanders Empire as soon as possible. urged Cyrus.

"Let's go in a carriage."Edward went to stop the carriage.

More than 20 minutes later, the carriage stopped at the port, and Fenton and others got out of the car first.

Their goods had been arranged for attendants to keep an eye on them and have them transported to the port. The quantity was a bit too much. , a lot of carriages were called, and the carriage drivers were all very happy today.

After Cyrus got off the carriage, he looked around and sighed,"There are so many people.""

"The port of Chang'an City is so lively every day."Edward said lightly.

This is normal in his eyes, but it is not the case for Fenton and the others. In the Flanders Empire, except for Black Pearl Harbor, which has slightly more people, other ports are very depressed.

"Where are the places to rent boats? Fenton was still more concerned about the ship.

Edward pointed to an office and said,"This way.""

There are many offices in the port, including tax collection, inspection, ship chartering and many other classified businesses.

A few minutes later, Fenton and others were brought to the chartering office.

Edward said politely to the office staff Said,"Hello, I want to rent a fifty-meter boat."

"Okay, no problem. Where can I rent it?"The staff asked

"Haiyan City. Randolph said quickly

"Please choose which type of boat you want to rent. We have two types of 50-meter boats."The staff said softly

"Are there two types? Fenton asked in confusion.

The staff handed over two pieces of information and said professionally,"The first type of fifty-meter sailboat takes about two months to reach Haiyan City. This is a number of days that are not affected by weather factors.""

"What about the second type? Randolph asked quickly,"This is too long, isn't it? It actually takes two months?"

"The second type is that there is no sailboat. The distance to Haiyancheng is greatly reduced. It only takes about ten days and is less affected by the weather."The staff continued.

The so-called sailboat is a steam ship, but it is called a sailboat in Chang'an City.

"What are the prices? Fenton said in surprise, are there too many differences between the two?

"The price of a fifty-meter sailboat is ten silver coins a day, while the price of a sailboat without a sailboat is fifty silver coins a day."

The staff said calmly,"If you rent the former type, you have to pay a deposit of ten gold coins. The latter type without a sailboat requires a deposit of twenty gold coins."

"Fifty silver coins a day? Fenton and the others were a little frightened when they heard the price.

Randolph took Fenton and Cyrus aside and whispered,"We don't have many gold coins left. Are you sure you want to rent this?""

"If we don't rent it, we have no choice but to rent the sailboat. The time can be shortened a lot. What we are short of now is time. Fenton said helplessly.

He still weighed time and money, and felt that it would be more profitable to save time and return to the Flanders Empire quickly.

"Well, let’s rent the boat for fifty yuan a day. Cyrus said distressedly.

The three of them made a decision and told the staff,"We want the sailless boat.""

"Okay, the time it takes to get to Haiyan City without a sailboat is about ten days. You need to pay a deposit of twenty gold coins and ten days of charter fees. If you exceed the limit or arrive early, you will be asked to make up for it or refund it. Some silver coins."

The staff handed them a slip and continued,"Just take the slip and go to Haiyan City to refund the deposit."

"good. Fenton nodded, picked up the list and read it.

"If the ship is damaged by man-made damage, you will have to pay compensation. The document is clearly written. If there is no problem, just sign it."The staff member said professionally.

A few minutes later, Fenton and others carefully read the document, signed it, and said,"No problem."

"OK"

The staff took back the document, left a copy for Fenton, and continued,"When you get to Haiyan City, just bring this document to the port office."

"Thanks."Fenton nodded and asked the attendant to start paying the gold coins.

At this moment, the three of them couldn't bear to look at the golden coins being handed out one by one.

More than half an hour later, several people who had completed the formalities were picked up by another worker. Personnel were led to the steamer

"This is a sailboat for you. You will be equipped with a boatman and a captain. Some places are not allowed to enter."The staff left after saying that.
