Four bird boats with 18 materials, three sand ships with 25 stones, two sand ships with [-] stones, four haicang boats with [-] materials, two sentry ships with [-] materials, one No. [-] blessing boat with [-] materials, and small Two Guangzhou boats, one Daguang boat, three [-]-meter centipede boats, and two [-]-meter centipede boats... In the small river behind Zhujiawan Village, there are more than ten boats that look old and even tattered. Unbearable wooden Ming-style sailboats, and their owners, seven or eight disheveled Ming soldiers, were bragging, gambling and even drinking in the shade of the trees!It wasn't until they saw their immediate superiors approaching that these veterans got up and put on their mandarin duck battle robes, and surrounded them with a smile to salute Mr. Hao.

"Go, go, go, you bastards, why don't you rush to the boat to clean up, drink and mess around all day, what do you look like! I can always remind you that today's distinguished guests are coming, if you wait You are so lazy and lazy, you have treated our distinguished guests slowly, and ruined my good deeds, don't blame me for always forgetting old feelings, implementing military laws, and beating your army sticks!" Looking at the smiling faces of his subordinates, who have no right to do anything, Hao put He couldn't help but get angry, so he lowered his face and loudly reprimanded these bastard soldiers and ruffians.Then, under his strict order, the seven or eight battalion soldiers present, together with more than [-] companions who walked out of the hut by the river, boarded the wooden boat moored by the river and began to tidy up and clean it.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Kang, Hao's subordinates are full of vulgar soldiers, who don't know etiquette and rules, but you two will laugh at them!" After dismissing the disgraceful soldiers, Hao Datong replaced them with a new one. With a smile, he guided Kang and Qiao to board the nearest bird boat on the trembling wooden springboard.

"Come on, two shopkeepers, let's go with Hao to visit our fastest warship in Ming Dynasty, the Bird Ship..."

Taking advantage of the two rich men looking up at the towering mast above their heads, the Ming army kicked the pile of messy cables and barrels aside calmly, and began to turn into a gold medal guide, introducing Kang and Qiao. Come with this wooden bird boat!In his opinion, the two masters in front of him are rich, but they know nothing about ships, and they don't know anything. He only needs to blow hard to persuade them to take out real money. Buy the warships eliminated by these battalions.

"The boat is a bit old, and there are still traces of decay in some places, but the internal structure is finally complete, 130 taels of silver, which is expensive!" On the other side, Hao Datong was blowing nonsense, but he couldn't help but suddenly appeared beside him. A man in black came, interrupted his boasting as soon as he opened his mouth, and revealed all the shortcomings of the ship that he had concealed.This made Mr. Hao, who was eager to sell his inventory, immediately put away the smile on his face, and even the soldiers on the surrounding ships cast unkind glances here!

However, this is of no use!Wu Fang, who was born as a pirate, did not care about the displeased Hao Datong and the battalion soldiers. As a half-expert, he had the confidence to make the leader of Kangda change his mind. If Hao Datong and the others still wanted to successfully sell these poor-looking You have to bow your head to him!As for getting angry and directly taking down his own group, Wu Fang thinks that this possibility is not big. After all, Qiao Siqiao is the middleman of this transaction, and the forces behind it are also powerful enough, so they will definitely not allow it. If this kind of thing happens, it will destroy the good reputation that I have worked so hard to build.

With this in mind, Wu Fang continued, "In addition, there is only one anchor left in the front and back, and it needs to be filled, and..."

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Kang is not satisfied with the price offered by Hao, then you can decide the price. If it is about the same, let's finalize the matter, how about it?" Seeing the man in black under the shopkeeper surnamed Kang, Yue said The more he worked hard, there was a tendency to depreciate his own ship to be worthless. Hao Datong hurriedly interrupted this guy's long talk, and directly asked the silent Boss Kang Linkang to bid on his own to see if he could get it with him. Consensus, to facilitate this deal!

"Two hundred feeder boats, 130 taels of silver; four hundred feeder boats, 270 taels of silver, Kang has paid! But Kang has a request, and I hope the boss can agree..." After pondering for a moment, Kang Lin raised his hand. Looking at the eager Hao Datong, Wu Fang who nodded secretly, and Qiao Si who had been silent all this time, finally agreed to the former's offer.And considering the strength of the fleet, he, Kang, took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask Hao Datong to hire ship repair craftsmen!With real money to clear the way, Kang Lin believed that Hao Datong and Hao Ba would never disagree with him on this. After all, in the eyes of mid-level officers like them, craftsmen were talking animals. Going back to repair the ship, even if you just send yourself a few, it’s not a big problem. The key is to get the money. Once the money is in place, everything will be solved easily!

"It's not easy to hire craftsmen. After all, these people have their own needs to do in the guard. If they are hired by you rashly and leave the guard, it may be difficult for the superior to ask questions..." Sure enough, Hao Datong After listening to Kang Lin's words, he didn't immediately agree to his request!It's not that the boss's sense of responsibility is suddenly overwhelmed, but that this guy wants to take advantage of this matter to squeeze more benefits from the wealthy and powerful upstart in front of him!He had heard from the servant next to Qiao Si that this master spent a lot of money, and he had just spent a few thousand taels of silver to buy a lot of junk that was eliminated by the guards. Hesitant to pay a lot of real money!For a while, Hao Dabao, who felt that Zhizhu was in his hands, even thought about the prices of the artisans. He only waited for Kang Lin to nod, and then packed and sold several artisans under his command to them. How to use it, that's not what he should care about!

"A craftsman, plus his family, I will hire two taels of silver every month. If there is a special skill, the employment price will be doubled on this basis. In addition, if Brother Hao can accomplish this, Kang will have 20 taels of silver here. Thank you Yi for the silver pattern!" Seeing that something was going on, Kang Lin immediately took two silver notes of ten taels, and Hao Datong, who was also very familiar with the silver notes, took them over and quietly hid them in himself. sleeve pocket!Now, with the money as a foreshadowing, the relationship between the two parties immediately got closer. Kang Lin and Hao Datong stopped being polite and called each other by their titles, but changed into closer brothers!Afterwards, in a burst of shouts of "Brother Kang, Brother Hao", the Xinzha pirate forces formally completed the first close collusion with the Daming Battalion System. Both sides got what they needed, and everyone was happy!

"Brother, I think you are a real person, so I won't hide some things from you! In fact, these ships are old ships that we eliminated, second-hand ships, and they shouldn't sell you at such a high price, but because there are too many people on them. Too many mother-in-laws need to take care of it, because they think that brother can only be thick-skinned and take advantage of you! In the future, if my brother still wants to buy ships, I will definitely trade with you with good goods at the bottom of the box, and I will never take Those second-hand goods, second-hand goods are here to fool and prevaricate! In addition, there are some camp tents, gold gongs, and vans at my brother's place. If I don't mind, I will give them to you..." Maybe they took money and sold other people's rags For the sake of goods, Hao Datong, who felt a little guilty in his heart, handed out another olive branch, trying to strengthen the relationship between the two parties!Those moldy tents in the corner, golden drums, gongs, single-wheeled and double-wheeled carts are just rubbish and cumbersome to him, but he doesn’t want to think that these things he gave away as extras are exactly Kang’s The most urgently needed and hardest-to-buy supplies for Lin and others!Because to form a regular army, you need not only youth and weapons, but also a large number of tents for people to live in, golden drums and gongs to convey orders, and single-wheel and double-wheel carts for transporting food and supplies!

Therefore, facing the kindness of the President, Kang Lin resolutely chose to accept it all.However, as the saying goes, "Throw it in with a peach, and repay it with Qiongyao", this guy who is very good at being a man will certainly not let his new friend suffer, and he has the idea of ​​​​fishing for big fish with a long line in his heart, and he immediately hesitates I took two silver notes of ten taels!This made the smiling Hao Bazong even more grinning from ear to ear. He patted his chest and said that my brother is humble and kind, and that he can come to him for anything in the future.

Closer to home, let's refocus our attention on buying a boat!After a short exchange, Kang, Qiao, Wu, and Hao continued to watch the ship. At this time, a few battalion soldiers with brooms and sackcloth had roughly cleaned up a [-]-material sentry ship, and they were about to send someone over to ask them to move it. Step over to have a look.

Big, tall, messy, broken, but still mighty and domineering!This is Kang Lin's first feeling on board this 100 material blessing boat!It is said to be big because the ship is a little smaller than the semi-sunken ship occupied by necromancers last time. It also has six upper and lower cabins and a wider deck. The "Flying Hebei People" is much more livable. If it is not loaded with cargo, it is estimated that it can easily squeeze more than [-] new immigrants. It is not like a small boat with two or three hundred materials, and it will be crowded with dozens of people. squeezed together like a can of sardines;

It is said to be tall because the ship's side is relatively high, and it is only a little shorter than the No. [-] Fuchuan, which is [-] to [-] materials. Plow, no wonder Ming Dynasty military strategist Qi Jiguang Qi Nantang called it "the city wind presses down, like a car crushing a praying mantis, fighting boats instead of manpower, so he always wins";

It is said to be messy because the ropes, barrels, and wheels on the ship are thrown around and not put together, so it looks messy!After all, this ship is already in a semi-sealed state, and no one maintains it. It is normal for it to be a little messy, but the small rodents scurrying by from time to time are a bit unsightly, and it is really unhygienic. Kang Lin saw this It was decided to take these ships and carry out a comprehensive cleaning to avoid various diseases in the future.
