Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although there is only one entrance to Bluebird Island, there are many ports that can be landed 6, but each port must be stationed with tax officers to guard the island, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.
Tianming's elite guards have 1oo people, and the difference in numbers is obvious.
In addition, the gap in equipment is also relatively huge, and the equipment of your own side is a uniform style and extremely sharp bone spear, 2 meters long, neatly aligned.
As for the other party, except for the leading captain, there seems to be a black iron and wood sword on his waist, and the soldiers under his command are all fishbone knives, bone swords, wooden bows and other equipment, except for the wooden bow, which may be stronger than this side, other equipment is not as good as the Tianming elite guards.
Moreover, Tianming has a double numerical advantage, as long as there are no reinforcements coming, they will almost be eaten!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the guard put the conch hanging around his neck into his mouth, and it sounded ~~~.
"Not good, signal screw!" Tianming's face changed, this kind of alarm conch, he just bought one, the sound is very loud, and the sound wave is long, it can be transmitted far away. On Phuket Island, he had heard a lot of various conch sounds, and the farthest one even heard the sound of a conch coming from 2o kilometers away.
Without thinking about it, a 'Magical Hand' then reached over, and within less than 2 seconds of the horn sounding, it snatched the conch from the leader's mouth.
"We're not here to make trouble, we're just here to do business!" Tianming shouted at the leader.
"%_ kill him, kill him for me! _%" The lean tax officer next to him continued to scream hysterically. Pointing to Tianming, he kept giving orders to the soldiers next to him.
Noisy! Another hand of supernatural powers. Tianming slapped him, and the tax officer was slapped 3 meters away, several teeth fell out, and his mouth was full of blood. He fell to the ground and could no longer scream.
The captain of the guard was also shocked in his heart, and the man didn't know what method to use, and instantly took away the signal snail from his mouth. Look at the man's dress, a thin white linen silk robe, which is the clothes that only nobles can wear. Plus his mysterious trick of fanning the tax collector in the air...... The captain of the guard was a little nervous and worried, and coupled with the lack of manpower on his side, he calmed down and decided to take a step back.
"%_ Guest who has come to Kagu Island, noble maritime merchant, we have no intention of plundering your belongings, my actions to my tax collectors. Expressing regret _%"
Seeing that his tone was negotiable, Tianming's face softened a lot, and he didn't want to conflict with the master of this island. He came with the purpose of making money in business and understanding the situation, and he didn't want to stop doing it after making a stick deal.
"%_I apologize for overcharging your goods. I'll have you refund you the amount you owe."
The captain of the guard was very tactful, and waved his hand to carry away the injured tax collector. also returned part of the goods handed in by Tianming, which surprised Tianming.
"Golden melon seeds, let people put down their weapons."
The misunderstanding was temporarily cleared up, in order to show sincerity. Tianming took out the signal snail from the ability space and gave it back to the captain of the guard. A friendly message was conveyed to him.
Although I didn't understand what Tianming said. Seeing that this strange man took away his signal snail out of thin air, and now took out the means out of thin air, the captain of the guard was already shocked and couldn't speak, just kept nodding, waved his hand, and said to his opponent: "Let go!" ”
Looking at the ships farther and farther away, the captain of the 1uba guarding the island guard, had a headache.
The one who has just been beaten is the nephew of the owner of Kagu (Kagu), the tax collector of Tangu. This man is very greedy, and even Ruba has never seen anyone as greedy as him.
Generally speaking, maritime merchants traded on the island, and when they were done, they only had to pay one-tenth of the commercial tax. When the bullet bone did not come, Ruba strictly enforced this order, and unless the merchants insisted on giving themselves some benefits, they would generally not overcharge.
After the bullet bone came, the situation changed, many merchants who came to the island for the first time, the bullet bone opened the mouth for 20% of the tax, not only that, he personally had to eat and take the card to ask for some, as a result, many merchants half of the income was taken away. In the past six months, I heard that I have bought three wooden ships with ten thousand materials, and the slaves have also bought more than 1ooo......
I wonder if that weirdo will come? I just looked at it, and the injury to the bullet bone is relatively serious, and it won't get better for at least three or five days......
……
After going back, Tianming immediately remembered a countermeasure.
The next day, Tianming changed to a bigger ship, brought more than 2oo people over, and after unloading the goods, let 1oo people stay on the ship, and the other 1oo people went with him to sell things.
Changed to a pier to board 6, and when he first came to the beach, Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, but there were not many soldiers waiting for him here.
He saw yesterday's captain of the guard.
"Why did I see you again?" Tianming was very surprised, how could he meet yesterday's captain of the guard even if he changed the dock?
"%_ Hello, distinguished maritime guests, we may have had some misunderstanding yesterday. I have reported to the owner of the island, and he said that we welcome honest maritime merchants to do business on the island, and that yesterday's incident will not be pursued."
Ruba did report the incident to the owner of Kagu Island, and detailed the tax situation on Beach 3 over the past six months. On his beach, this month's tax revenue is only a tenth of what it was six months ago, and there are not a few merchant ships in a day. It's all thanks to bullet bones.
"%_ Bullet is a pretty good kid... Well, tomorrow you go to Beach 7. After Beach 3 is ready, let him toss it_%" The main road of Kagu Island.
Seeing that the captain of the guard had no intention of pursuing it, Tianming also greeted him in a friendly manner and asked him to move the goods to the trade market.
……
For the next five days, Tianming was extremely busy.
Bone needles, bone knives, bone spears, bone armor, bone swords, bone shields, bone bows, arrows, all sold out.
Even, Tianming also started the business of purchasing raw materials, processing finished products, and then selling finished products.
Fish bones, wood, and black ore were purchased from Bluebird Island, and processed into fish bone series sets, rivets, and metal rivets (made of black ore, expensive, but in short supply), if it weren't for the fear that making metal knives would cause a riot, Tianming would have taken out dozens of black iron knives that he had already made and sold them.
The black iron knife made of black ore condensed is not at the same level at all.
The busy day is over again.
"Captain Luba, this is today's business tax, 5,863 colored shells, one is a lot."
"%_ Honest guests, you don't need to check the business tax you pay. Come on, let go! _%”
Three days ago, Tianming used a pair of ten-meter-long fish bones to make 5 sets of skeleton sets - bone armor, bone helmet, bone spear, bone sword, bone shield, bone bow, six-piece set, and also came with 1oo ironwood arrows with strong armor-piercing ability and long range, four pairs of hand and foot wrists, and a pair of fish skin boots. These five sets of things, in addition to equipping one set each for the golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds. There were two sets, and they sold for a sky-high price of 15 rune colored shells.
The rest of the skeleton suit was given to Captain Ruba, the captain of the beach guard of Bluebird Island, who had some misunderstandings before. From his ecstatic and laughing appearance, the sky is bright, and every time he takes someone to the Crescent Island, he will take the initiative to come up to greet him. When he went back, he would ask his subordinates to help carry things onto the ship, which made Tianming sigh: The hearts of the Blue Star people are too easy to buy.
"I bought a lot of things today, I basically have everything I want, I can not use it tomorrow, I have to rest for a few days."
"Woo woo ~ ~ ~~!"
Suddenly, a long horn sounded, and a large number of people rushed to the beach.
"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! "A group of elite soldiers, numbering thousands of men, marched towards the beach in a neat line, all dressed in full body armor, armed with sharp metal-tipped spears, and an ironwood sword pinned to their waists.
The noise shook the sky, and many merchants, passers-by, and Lanxing people wearing linen silk robes also poured into this beach.
"It's... What's going on? ”
A drop of cold sweat flowed down Tianming's cheeks, looking at the scene of tens of thousands of people in the black press, he had to let the golden melon seeds who were on alert temporarily put down their weapons and stopped loading the ship. Cowering in a corner by the sea to see what the men were going to do.
