Chapter 606: Let's All Get Rich Together

The night was deep.

Demville was exceedingly fortunate to have been assigned the task of "stocking up," which meant he could rest tonight in the small church in town.

Hmm, the "Leisure" couldn't return empty after unloading its cargo.

It would be loaded with wool, timber, leather, and even tea purchased from Norfolk. Most of these goods would be unloaded in France at Calais, with some going directly to Le Havre.

However, the Pulse Gang demanded they declare the goods and pay taxes according to the regulations in France. Although this severely squeezed the profits on the return journey, the captains didn't dare act recklessly with a "liaison officer" from the Pulse Gang on every smuggling ship.

These English specialty raw materials were cheaper to purchase locally than the official prices sold to France, so the earnings were grudgingly acceptable to the captains. After all, they had already made a killing on the trip to England.
