  Chapter 520 Fortune Fleet

  Wilson led the expedition team organized by himself to find Timbuktu, the golden city in West Africa, and brought back nearly 100,000 pounds of gold.

  Such a huge amount is almost equivalent to the annual income of the royal family in the past, and it is now higher than the fiscal revenue of the Irish region.

  Such a huge income caused the entire London area to vibrate, and then fluctuated to the entire United Kingdom. What people talk about is no longer the newly established cabinet, but a group of gold seekers in Wilson.

  Yes, the Gold Seekers are the characters they were nicknamed, who surprised and fluctuated the entire United Kingdom.

  The huge amount of gold made Edward unable to sit still, and hurriedly received the group of gold seekers.

   These huge amounts of gold cannot flow into the market, because this will cause inflation in the United Kingdom, and it will also increase the chance of private coinage.

   In this way, His Majesty the King directly purchased all the gold in their hands with 100,000 pounds of gold coins, thus ensuring the economic security of the United Kingdom.

  Of course, as we all know, gold is too soft, and the casting of gold coins requires some other metals to be synthesized before they can be used in the market.

   This becomes the profit of minting.

  Generally speaking, the income ratio is around 6% to 12%, depending on the conscience of the competition.

  This acquisition, even if it is calculated on a minimum of 6%, the income has reached 6,000 pounds, and it was received in a sitting.

   Of course, everyone likes money and gold, and the king is no exception.

  Thousands of guards are supported every year, which consumes a lot.

   And the bigger head is part of the court reward.

  If people have made meritorious service, they should be rewarded;

   Moreover, the subsidies for the central ministers and members of the highest joint parliament are also directly paid by the royal family. As the price increases, the amount will naturally increase.

   Of course, these are all reasons. The most important thing is that the king likes money and never thinks that money is not in short supply.

   And these crimes are all excuses for the upcoming crimes.

  The young king stood on the window sill, looking at the wide river in the distance, with serious and serious eyes:

   "It seems that the moral culture of my modern people has gradually lost, and now I only have money in my eyes!"

   Immediately, his lips curled up slightly again:

   "Morality, in the sixteenth century, has always been a cloud in front of a country!"

  “Especially from the standpoint of the victor, all this is nothing more than the primitive accumulation of capitalism, and it is predestined! It’s hard not to think about it!”

   "In future history textbooks, what appearance will I appear in? The founder of the British Empire? The king of lo*ic*n? Or the dirty capitalist king!"

   In the eyes, the expression is constantly flowing, and he looks very proud.

   "Interesting, I'm really looking forward to it!"

   While he was thinking, a huge fleet braved the wind and waves, crossed the Thames River, sailed into the vast Atlantic Ocean, and headed towards the huge African continent.

  The reason why the fleet is huge, first of all, its scale. In terms of the scale of non-governmental organizations, except for the Royal Navy, it is unprecedented in the history of the United Kingdom.

   No civil society can organize such a huge tonnage.

It is composed of thirty-six armed merchant ships, ranging in size from 400 to 600 tons. From a distance, it looks mighty. The artillery on the ship is cold and ruthless. It is possible to open your mouth wide and wait for people to eat.

  There are more than 3,000 sailors and soldiers on board, and they are all equipped with muskets and exquisitely dressed. They are elite at first glance.

  On the deck, the sailors didn't care, but most of the loaded troops were vomiting and diarrhea one by one, guarding the deck, holding on tightly, with their mouths facing the sea, vomiting the food in their stomachs.

  Below them, a group of large and small sea fish are jumping from wave to wave, following the movement of the merchant ship, just to cherish this rare food area.

"Ouch—" Robert, who had already vomited three times in less than half a day on board, was not at all as energetic as he was when he first boarded the ship, and did not have the vigor of a young man. He looked like an old man in his sixties, with a loose face It's all despair and decadence, and I have the desire to die.

   "Hey! Robert, how's it going? Are you still used to it?" Robert felt footsteps sounded around him, and then a sound of needing a beating sounded immediately, which made him feel impulsive, wishing to swing his fist and give him a hard beating.

   "My Mr. Michael, please don't torture me anymore. Don't you know that your best friend is looking desperate at this time?"

  Robert was too lazy to raise his head, and said helplessly to the owner of the familiar voice.

  When Michael heard this, the smile on his face deepened. He showed his yellow teeth and said softly:

"Before boarding the boat, you had a smug face, showing off everywhere, 'I'm the one who wants to get a lot of gold, everyone, wait for me to come back and make a fortune!', but. It's only been a few hours, and you've become a sick cat gone?"

  My good friend Michael didn't care about his feelings at all. Instead, he stuck to his ear and said proudly. Robert was so angry that he was about to bite his front teeth.

   "Okay, if I knew it was so uncomfortable to take a boat, I would..."

   "What am I going to do? Not participating in the mission to the City of Gold?" Michael said with a half-smile.

   "How is it possible, for the sake of gold, these are nothing, but you know, in order to obtain this spot, I bribed five pounds! How can it be wasted?"

   Speaking of this, Robert raised his head, looked ahead, and said firmly, but after a while, he couldn't help it again and began to vomit.

And on the flagship of the fleet, a 600-ton armed merchant ship, the commander-in-chief Elvis Knight, and the current fleet leader, Mr. Wilson, who made a fortune from the Golden City a while ago, are observing facing the sea.

   "Mr. Wilson, I want to know, does the City of Gold have many troops? How much gold can there be?"

   "There are definitely not many specific troops, but what you need to pay attention to is that the tonnage of the fleet is too large. I am afraid that you have to follow the small-tonnage ships and move slowly!"

  Wilson stomped his feet, feeling a lot of emotion in front of the luxurious ship, but because the White Nile River is too small, the ship is too big, there are good and bad.

   "It doesn't matter, let's go all the way. Although most of my subordinates are militias, I can still crush those heretics one by one and plunder the cities on both sides of the river!"

   "In this way, our trip will have greater value, and everyone will make a fortune!"

   At the end, Elvis Cavalier and Wilson laughed together.

  This time, they are here to make a fortune, and morality and morality have nothing to do with them.
