Chapter 205: "·Trade Fleet"

There is only one truth, it is not in religion, but in science.
-Leonardo da Vinci (typical artist of the Renaissance)
After the expedition of four legions, the original barracks of the Roman city were suddenly deserted. In the early morning of the next day, Bai Feng took the three thousand cold Huai long archers and was escorted by the Governor’s Guard of 500 cavalry to the port. And went.
The Roman port and the Roman city are connected by a paved road. The marching speed of the three thousand-foot Lenghuai Longbowmen is quite slow. Bai Feng just walked for more than an hour, and impatiently took the cavalry to go ahead It's time for the port of Rome.
More than two hours later, he finally came to Baifeng, a Roman port, and discovered that the appearance of this Roman port is no different from the port he has seen in the Roman world. They are all composed of port warehouse areas, docks, and berths. .
The only difference is that this Roman port has four berths and can berth four ships at the same time; at this time, on these four berths, four small transport ships are moored quietly, just like in order Sort the soldiers waiting for review.
Not surprisingly, these four transport ships should be the same trade caravan attached to the Roman port; but what can these four transport ships bring to the city of Rome? Their limited freight volume simply cannot expand the scale of trade in Rome!
"Governor, shall we ask the person in charge of this fleet to come down and ask?" It seems that he felt the disappointment of Bai Feng's face that was difficult to conceal. Antio, who was behind Bai Feng, gave Bai Feng a small mention. Suggest.
"Alright, go ahead and ask who is responsible for this fleet. Let him come to me." The irrefutable Bai Feng nodded and agreed with Antio's suggestion, and asked him to take this The person in charge of the support team was called.
Leaving him restoring the full guard of the general guard behind Bai Feng, Antio walked alone to the pier where four transport ships were moored; the generals summoned by the city of Rome were characterized by their generals. The guard will automatically recover after the loss.
Of course, this automatic recovery is not possible anywhere. It must be in the Temple of Apollo in Rome. After the last war, Antio took a week’s rest to ease down, and then he went to the Temple of Apollo. Overnight, the general guard was restored.
The General Guard, which can automatically recover for free, somehow saved Bai Feng, otherwise Bai Feng did not know where he would save a sum of money to restore the General Guard to Antio. After all, the General Guard is the safest amulet of a general.
Unless Antio had the desperate guards of the heavy guards of the General Guard, he would hardly survive the brutal battle of the last time; this also gave Bai Feng a warning bell, that is, these powerful forces must not be used in the future The generals sent to the enemy.
No matter how powerful these generals are, as long as the number of enemies has reached a certain point, it can still kill the powerful generals; Bai Feng still understands that the thousand troops are easy to get, he will understand the next time. Not so careless.
In a little while, Antio walked over from the pier with a middle-aged man in a toga robe; looking at this familiar and unfamiliar dress, it was not difficult for Bai Feng to guess the one in front of him A middle-aged man is the person in charge of this trading fleet.
"Allen, the captain of the trading fleet of the Roman city, has seen His Excellency the Governor!" After following Antio to Bai Feng, without needing to introduce Antio, the middle-aged man who claimed to be Allen bowed down to say respectfully to Bai Feng.
"Captain Allen, isn't it, are you four small transport ships in front of your trading fleet? You shouldn't be able to transport much cargo by these few transport ships alone?" Compared with Allen's respect, Bai Feng is more concerned about the value of the trade fleet.
"You may have misunderstood the Governor, these four ships are not the small transport ships you imagine, but the merchant ships that our trade fleet is dedicated to trading with other ports; moreover, the ships owned by our trade fleet It is far more than these four merchant ships.
Yesterday evening, the twelve transport ships of our trading fleet found that small wooden boats on the east coast of the Aisini tribe were transporting food between the banks of the Cangluo River; Transported food.
By the afternoon, they should be able to return to the port; our entire trading fleet has a total of four commercial ships dedicated to trade transportation, and twelve transport ships dedicated to cargo transportation. This is what our trading fleet is strength! "
When Alan explained to Bai Feng his trade fleet, his face showed an involuntary color of pride. It seemed that Alan was still very proud of his fleet. This gesture was originally Bai Feng appreciates the attitude very much.
In Bai Feng's cognition, if a person wants to achieve a career in his own field, the first thing is to love his field; undoubtedly, this captain Allen is very proud of his fleet Yes, this makes Bai Feng appreciate it.
"Yes, I am very pleased that your fleet can have such strength; but I also have a question. Under the premise that the Aisini tribe on the east bank has no port at all, how will your fleet's transport ships go to dock? What about unloading grain?"
"Your Excellency, our transport ship is much larger than the commercial ship, and each transport ship is also equipped with four small boats for landing; this is why we sent the transport ship to help, but not The reason for sending merchant ships to help.
Although our transport ship needs to rely on the small boat for slow transportation when unloading grain at the shore, compared to the transport method of the Aisini tribe, our transport ship will still greatly increase their speed of transporting grain. "
Hearing Alan’s explanation, Bai Feng just smiled and didn’t speak again; Alan was satisfied with all aspects of Alan. There was such a well-thought-out, shrewd person to manage the trading fleet in Rome. Bai Feng felt There is no need to worry about yourself.
After discussing some other things with Allen in succession, the time finally came to noon. The first of the three double-row battleships recruited by Bai Feng yesterday drove slowly out of the dock on the other side of the dock. The same double-row battleship in the Roman world!
Forty sailors paddled half the paddle of this double-row battleship. Forty other sailors stood on the deck at the bow and stern with a dagger in their waists; watching this ship is larger than a merchant ship There are many more double-row battleships, and Rome has its own battleship.
Just a warship can't meet the needs of the city of Rome. In the next two days, two double-row battleships will come out; after all three double-row battleships are recruited, Bai Feng will let them full of long The archers went on patrol.
The volatile Eastern Union is definitely one of the biggest potential enemies of Rome City, especially before the harvest of the Tuntian food in Rome City; with the economic situation of Rome City, it is almost impossible to support the food consumption of hundreds of thousands of people and go Fighting a large-scale war, Bai Feng can only block the Cangluo River as much as possible to avoid this war that may break out at any time.
