Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

"What, you have pearls and precious stones?" Shen Sanda's expression sank when he heard that the funds Kang Lin carried with him were not enough to pay for the purchase of all the guns. Seeing that this guy still had pearls, gems and other good things in his hands, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a smile again and said,

"Brother, pearls, gems are exchanged for guns, and you need to give more. After all, my brother has to exchange them for real gold and silver outside before they can be deposited in Weicang to settle the account..."

To his mother, to his mother!Bargaining with him is to despise the officials, and to kill Wei Bang; pay the bill with jewels, let him make a little difference, and be his own brother, this bastard is really realistic!When Kang Lin saw Shen Sanda's capricious face like Ochumelov's tribute to the Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Kang Lin couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, but now he couldn't turn his face against these bastards, so he just Can turn around and order Zheng Nansheng, the commander of the infantry,

"Go, have a look at the quality of the guns. If there is no problem, we will pay! San'er, bring me two people to find the shopkeeper Qiao, and ask him to apply for a temporary residence permit. As a result, if it’s really difficult, don’t do it, let him come back quickly and help us estimate the value of this batch of jewels!”

"Yes, my lord!" Without too much nonsense, Zheng Nansheng obeyed his leader's order!Then, he appointed three of Kang Lin's ten relatives as his assistants, and began to carefully check whether there were any cracks and bulges in the cannons of the generals present, whether there were cracks, swelling, etc.; and after obtaining Wang Ruhai's consent, Prepare to fire a cannon with your own hands, and actually see if the various performances of these guns are as good as Shen, Jing, and Wang boasted!

"The gun barrel is made of pig iron with no obvious cracks, but the gun wall has trachoma, which may cause the chamber to explode! Come, clean the gun chamber, place the primer, fill half of the gunpowder, cover the paper, tamp the gunpowder and the paper, and plug it Enter the wooden horse, fill in the large lead bullets, increase the chock, and adjust the muzzle to the right a little bit! Brothers, aim at the [-]-pace target and fire a cannon, so that all adults in the field can see the skills of our Chiyang man!" Inspecting the cannon, finding flaws, restoring the cannon position, loading ammunition, and preparing to fire... Zheng Nansheng's performance was very professional in Wang Ruhai's eyes, even more professional than him, the chief gunnery instructor of the Eastern Navy!Because at least, it is impossible for him to complete all the steps of artillery loading in such a short period of time, and it is impossible for him to practice for a long time!

"Brother, it's disrespectful for you to have such a good player under your command!" As the saying goes, experts look at the way, and laymen look at the way!Unlike Shen and Jing who were watching the fun with a teacup, Liu Chongqi, like Wang Ruhai, saw something unusual!He did not expect that the foster brother he had casually recognized would actually have such a powerful expert under his command. Not only could he load the cannon in a very short period of time, but he could also check for trachoma inside the cannon and fire it with half the charge. !You know, he has also played with these two kinds of guns, and he knows how complicated the loading steps are and how long it takes. Without systematic training, even if you give ordinary banner troops gunpowder, wooden horses, and lead bullets, they will not succeed. Fire these big guys, let alone do the loading job so fast and accurately!

"nothing,

It's nothing, our subordinates only have this little trick for you to see!Old Zheng, now that you're ready, let's hurry up and fire the guns to cheer everyone up! Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of all the people present, Kang Lin smiled, and very proudly gave Zheng Nansheng the order to fire, and the latter, after hearing the words, just bowed his hands to the former, indicating that he already knew, and ordered his subordinates Ignite and fire the cannon, aiming at the three wooden targets two hundred steps away!

"Boom!" It was still the familiar voice, the familiar gunpowder smoke, and the flames, but the difference was that the Yegong Shengun controlled by Zheng Nansheng and others accurately hit the leftmost target at a distance of more than [-] meters!In the stunned eyes of everyone, the six-pound cannonball tore the wooden target into three or four pieces with huge kinetic energy, and then hit the mound behind the target without any momentum, hitting the target directly. A one or two feet high mound was smashed to pieces, and the dust was flying!

"Hiss..." Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but gasped in unison, thinking to themselves that the aim is too scary!Previously, Wang Ruhai, the head coach of Gunshu in the East China Sea, had to fire several shots to catch a target. How come Kang Lin's subordinates hit it with one shot, and it was a more difficult long-distance lob!They didn't know that Zheng Nansheng's artillery master was Yan Si, a military officer of the Ming Dynasty who had been trained by Portuguese instructors under Kong Youde's command. In addition to being able to direct artillery to the target, he was actually better at using European artillery such as gun gauges and gun rulers. Tool to aim and fire!And this time he left the main force of the fleet and came to Donghai City. Zheng Nansheng brought a set of measuring tools with him. Therefore, it is not surprising that Kang Lin's artillery team can hit the target from a long distance!Even Zheng Nansheng, who hit the target with the first cannon, was full of confidence at the moment, eager to reload the cannon again and shoot a farther target!

"Old Zheng, how are you?" Reaching out his hand to stop Zheng Nansheng and the others who were looking hopeful, Kang Lin asked a question that he was eager to know the answer to, and the latter, after hearing the question from his boss, immediately gave the answer The correct answer is, "My lord, although there are trachomas on the inner wall of the gun, it does not affect the firing. It only needs to be filled with less gunpowder!"

"Okay, shopkeeper Qiao, help me estimate the value of these jewels, let's eat this batch of guns!" After receiving an affirmative answer, Kang Lin ignored the greedy and terrified expressions on the faces of Jing and the others. , turned around and asked Qiao Sidao, the treasurer of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce who had just been dragged over by Jiang Sanban.

"Master Kang, these pearls of yours are big and round, crystal clear and translucent. They are rare and good products. If they are sold in Anyang, the capital city, each pearl can be sold for more than 400 taels of silver. , half of it is not bad; as for all kinds of gemstones, it has to be calculated according to the weight. The market in Daming is different, and the price is also different, but no matter what, a gemstone weighing 0.37 grams can be worth 80 taels Silver, Master Kang, you have about twenty gemstones of different sizes, according to Qiao’s estimate, if you sell them all, you can make a profit of more than 1000 taels of silver, which should not be a problem..." Looking at the high-quality pearls and gemstones in his hand, Qiao Si sincerely gave a guide price for the acquisition.To be honest, he didn't expect the fledgling Kang Lin gang to get these valuable goods, but this didn't affect his desire to get these jewels for his chamber of commerce, and even the big shots behind the chamber of commerce!after all

, five or six cents in weight, and good-looking pearls, if sold individually, would cost no more than 400 taels of silver at most, but if they were processed, strung together, or inlaid with gold and silver ornaments, it would not be uncommon for them to sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver !But today, let him meet such a rare talent and beauty, and it would be a pity for him not to be included in the pocket of his status as the big shopkeeper of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, he took the risk of offending the commander of the East China Sea Guard and his colleagues, Ambassador Cang. , opened his mouth and made a request to Kang Lin,

"Master Kang, you and I are not outsiders. How about this? If you intend to sell all of them, our Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy all the pearls in your hand at a price of 240 taels; and if the gems are as bright as this Dazzling, our chamber of commerce can also eat all of them with 100 taels of silver per cent..."

"Shopkeeper Qiao, you don't need to be so ugly when you eat, right? Brother Kang just promised us that he would use jewelry to offset the cost of buying guns. You don't want to eat and monopolize it just because you have Mr. Weng's backing!" The boss expected that Shen Sanda, who had always been domineering, and Jing Yuanpei, who had a dead face, saw Qiao Si and Qiao's shopkeeper sticking a bar in the middle, and wanted to eat all the jewels, but they didn't dare to order someone to take down this madman Hit the board, but carefully discuss with him.However, from Kang Lin's point of view, the shopkeeper Qiao, who was obsequious and even a little greedy for life and fear of death, has now become a hero.

"Everyone, Mr. Kang needs silver to buy guns, right? I accept his jewelry and give him silver to pay you. What's wrong with that! Anyway, when you accept jewelry, you have to find someone to cash it in, right? Don't make unnecessary troubles for everyone..."

"Uh, well, you are the number one shopkeeper under Mr. Weng, so you can say whatever you want. Anyway, as long as there is money in the account, I don't care about jewelry or not!" Seeing that Qiao Si insisted and refused to give himself face, Shen Sanda He was about to turn his back on him, but when he thought about how hard-core the backer was behind this guy, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. He didn't want to offend someone he couldn't afford for some floating money, and thus lose himself. A humble and powerful Cang Ambassador.

"Okay, since Ambassador Shen, Jing Guan is saving face, then the matter is settled like this! Brother Kang, you have twelve pearls weighing five or six cents here, and five rubies and emeralds. We will take advantage of you and give you How about your 6000 taels?" After looking at Shen Sanda, Jing Yuanpei and others who had no objection and held tea in a leisurely manner, Qiao Si nodded and smiled, then turned to Kang Lin and asked.

Fuck, 6000 taels of silver, I bought a lot of materials myself, and the cost is less than a thousand taels of silver. Just robbing a merchant ship from Nanyang can get more than [-] taels of silver. No wonder no one is willing. An honest peddler who wants to be a pirate in the treacherous sea, but he would not be willing to be left behind!Uh, no, I seem to be the big boss of the pirates across the sea now!Sell, sell, sell, start with white silver, pearls, and gems can't be eaten or worn as clothes, let alone guns, cannons to kill enemies, what's the use of keeping them, it's better to sell them all to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce , It is more cost-effective to replace it with various materials you need.Therefore, Kang Lin, who had figured this out, immediately nodded to indicate that he agreed to the deal.

"can!"
