Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

"Three cannons of the Great General, 250 taels of silver each; five cannons of the Second General, 120 taels of silver each; three cannons of Ye Gongshen, 180 taels of silver each; , 120 taels of silver for each door, six doors of the large Frang machine, 32 taels for each door, six small Flang machines, 18 taels for each door, a total of 290 taels of silver, here is the silver ticket of 300 taels , let's pay for both money and goods..."

With his left hand, he took Kang Lin's wooden box containing pearls and precious stones, and with his right hand, Qiao Si ordered his followers to go to the chamber of commerce to bring back five thousand five hundred taels of silver notes and fifty ten taels of silver ingots!And the former, after getting this unexpected windfall, immediately paid for the purchase of the guns in full and outrageously. Even Kang, who became an upstart, even provided one hundred rounds of ammunition for each of the thirty large and small artillery pieces. It's not that he doesn't want to buy more, but Ambassador Ku, who is so heartbroken, doesn't want to talk to him!Who would you change, someone cut off such a big beard, you won't be in a good mood, and you are willing to sell Kanglin a hundred rounds of ammunition, it is because this guy gave yourself a pearl worth 500 taels of silver earlier, Otherwise, Mr. Shen ordered the old man surnamed Kang to go back empty-handed with no smoke.

"The income is 6000 taels of silver, and the purchase of artillery costs 300 taels. How to spend the remaining 700 taels? It is definitely not possible to pack and ship them all back to Sunhuo Island, but the supplies are almost bought, which is really troublesome. ..." After paying half of the silver deposit, Kang Lin sent Zheng Nansheng to lead people and Shen Sanda back to the Weicang to collect the remaining artillery, while he stood where he was and continued to test the sample artillery.He wanted to see how well the artillery eliminated by the Great Ming Banner Army would perform, and what kind of power it could unleash with one-third charge, half charge, full charge, and strong charge.As for Qiao Si, who has earned practical benefits, he is following behind him with a happy face at the moment. This fellow will not give up any opportunity to deepen the relationship with Kang Lin!Therefore, Kang Lin, the leader of the Chiyang Fleet, just happened to hear the soliloquies in his ears without saying a word. Then, he was anxious about the customer's urgency, thinking about the business purpose that the customer wanted, and this guy quickly Found the next home for Boss Kang's remaining money, the battleship eliminated by the Shuizhai battalion soldiers!

"What, you want me to use the remaining money to buy a few broken ships that were retired from the Daming Battalion? No, no, no, I don't collect junk. Why bother not to buy new boats in the boathouse, but to buy ones that may leak at any time? The sinking old ship, could it be that Qian Duo was in a panic and wanted to use it for nothing!"

Sure enough, Qiao Si's proposal did not resonate with the leaders of Kang Lin Kang!Boss Kang Da, who is extremely cautious, now wants to spend a penny in half, so why would he not buy the new boats produced by Chuanliao, but buy the second-hand tattered goods that were eliminated by the soldiers in the water village!But Qiao Si didn't want to give up this lucrative deal easily. As the treasurer of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, he had traveled all over the world for many years, and firmly believed that he could convince the big-bellied Pirate in front of him just by his sharp mouth!Not to mention, in his opinion, the Chiyang fleet is really short of ships. He has experienced the constant battles along the way as an ally. At the worst time, more than 200 Chiyang troops plus hundreds More than 300 people could only tremblingly squeeze into four wooden sailboats of less than [-] tons, praying that God would not itch their noses and yawn, otherwise everyone would have to change their surnames to Shen!

That's why he proposed to Kang Lin to buy a ship. As for why it was the old ship of the battalion, he actually had two considerations. One was to get closer to Mr. Qian of the battalion. It is the East Ocean route. Everyone looks up and sees down. Good relationship is more important than anything else; the second is to get more profits. After all, those ships are just old ships eliminated by the battalion, and it is impossible to sell them as new ships. As soon as it comes, the articles that can be done in it will be huge... However, as an ally, apart from wanting to earn more money, Qiao Si actually didn't cheat his partners. I went to see it. Although the exterior looks dilapidated and riddled with holes, the internal structure has not been damaged in any way, and the boat materials are still high-quality nanmu. As long as it is sent to the boathouse and spent a sum of money, it will be fine. Able to keep it intact!And the reason why they stopped in the deserted port and waited to rot slowly was that the battalion soldiers of Daming were stronger than the banner soldiers. These good families who were recruited and paid for the war never lacked equipment. , cannons, warships, and Ming Dynasty are given priority for their use!Therefore, as long as the weapons and ships are damaged, they will be stored in a remote place by them who are short of money, and then sold for money!Who made the Ming Dynasty’s military department always default on their salaries, and the soldiers who waited for the rice grains to feed their wives and children don’t care about the bullshit theory that any weapons will be on the black market and will threaten the safety of Daming. They need to support their families. Even the latest Hongyi cannons and double-deck warships dare to toss out, not to mention some outdated Franc machines, general guns, sand boats, and lucky boats!

"Master, you can't say that. Although the warships eliminated by the battalions are dilapidated, as long as they are properly repaired, Qiao firmly believes that they can still sail safely and smoothly on the sea! Moreover, the most important thing is What's more, they are cheap. If you think about it, a bird boat of 300 materials only costs more than a hundred taels of silver, and a sentinel boat of [-] materials does not exceed [-] taels of silver. , cheap good stuff, it’s just as good as picking them up for nothing! We only need to buy ten or eight of his ships, and they’re nothing but vicious sharks and pirates..."

"Uh, what you said seems to make some sense. Let's find some time to go and have a look. If the ships are really as good as you said, we might as well buy a few and use them back! Anyway, we also bought them this time. There are a lot of supplies, and several large ships are needed to transport them!" Looking at the earnest expressions of his allies, Kang Lin felt that he had been persuaded by him, and it was only about 500 taels of silver. If the ships were really as old as this guy said, It’s tattered, but the inside is intact, so I don’t mind buying a few of them back for use by the fleet!After all, although his fleet is known as a big gang of pirates, it only has four pitiful wooden sailboats under his command. If he can take advantage of this opportunity to get a few more boats to strengthen the strength of the fleet, that would be quite good .

"Don't, as the saying goes, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Since the head of the family does not object, then Qiao will take you to see it today!" Seeing that the rich man Kang Lin finally let go, Qiao Si immediately hit the snake with the stick, He proposed to take him to the deserted port where the soldiers of the battalion [-] miles away from Donghai City had a look, and the former, in line with the idea of ​​being idle and idle, might as well go and have a look, after a little thought, he decided to He readily agreed to the latter's request, returned to the restaurant to prepare, and then set off by boat to the Ming army barren port outside the city.

The captain is no more than three feet long and less than seven feet wide. There is a mast in the center, but the hard sails are not hoisted due to the wind... Kang Lin, Qiao Si's small black boat is powered by two boats at the front and rear shaking the big sculls, so it moves very fast. Slowly, after a long time, I managed to walk half of the distance, and the head of Kangda, who had visited the people's livelihood on both sides of the river before entering Hong Kong, had seen too many small bridges, flowing water, and houses, and lost his sense of freshness. After being greeted, enter the canopy, sit cross-legged and drink tea.

Red clay stove, purple sand pot, green leaf tea!The shopkeeper Qiao, opposite Kang Lin, was very relaxed at this time. He was wearing a plain Taoist gown and was holding a jasper ladle in his hand. The water was steaming, and he scooped it out of the boiling hot water quickly and accurately. A scoop came out, and it was gently poured into the porcelain teacup in front of Kang Lin. In an instant, the fresh and elegant fragrance of the bud tea rose in the small boat canopy. For a while, Kang Lin, Wu Fang and others swallowed it all together. A mouthful of saliva!It's not that they haven't drunk tea before, but they have never drunk tea made in such an ancient ritual way, so they stretched out their sinful little hands to the teacups on the low table, but the next moment, Kang Lin relied on As the leader, he forcibly copied this cup of fragrant green tea into his hand, then squinted his eyes, and took a sip carefully. Suddenly, the astringent and sweet taste of the green tea exploded in his mouth Come on, it's so hot that this guy can't stop smacking his tongue, calling for good tea!

"Good tea, good tea, hot, hot!"

"Don't worry, Master, this Yunmengwu tea has to be savored slowly in order to feel its sweetness with astringency, and the wonderful taste of astringency and sweetness. It is impossible to truly appreciate this by swallowing it like Mr. Wu. The true meaning of tea..." Seeing that Kang Lin's attention was successfully attracted by Yunmengwu tea, Qiao Si also poured a cup of tea for the eager Manager Wu, who, after receiving the tea, didn't care whether it was hot or not, that's all. He gave him a hard job in one breath, and the shopkeeper Qiao was stunned. He secretly praised this guy for his endurance and he is a resounding hero!

"Pfft!" However, Wu Fang didn't give him a chance to praise himself. The moment the boiling hot tea was poured into his mouth, this guy didn't hold back, and sprayed the boiling water on another Kang Lin's attendant beside him. body, scalding that guy until he screamed, doubting his life!

"Boss Wu, let's go and see how long it will take to reach the deserted port. Brother Qiao, let's continue!" Seeing his subordinate lose his composure in front of his allies, Kang Lin didn't get angry. He just took a sip of tea and drove him away with a smile. Go outside the canopy and watch the boatmen rowing oars. After all, this guy is better at this than elegant tea tasting!

"Brother Qiao, let's drink some tea, let's talk first, how to deal with the camp soldiers when we get to their territory later, should we pay directly, take the boat away, or leave a deposit and let them send the boat to the pier? "
