Li Kun looked around at a few of his subordinates, and said with a cautious expression: "Lin Ziran's kid is very ambitious, and now he is not satisfied with swallowing the six towns on the east bank of Lingchang, and he even wants to dye Dao'an!" ”

"Let the brothers be quicker with their hands and feet, control Nan'an first, and don't let Lin Ziran pick up the cheap."

At this time, a subordinate said: "Now that the Sixth Division has seized several towns close to Lianguan County, what should we do if we clash with them in the process of controlling Nan'an?" ”

"Is it going to be a fight or then?"

When Li Kun heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Now is not the time to turn your face with Lin Ziran!" ”

"After all, this Jianming Gang is the county guard of Luo'an County, and there is no Lin Ziran to share the burden in the north, and our family can't bear it!"

"I will write to Lin Ziran, explain the matter of Nan'an clearly, and give it to the towns near Lianguan County, and you also let the brothers below pay attention, don't make trouble for Lao Tzu!"

Li Kun's message, Lin Ziran soon knew.

After reading it, I only listened to him: "Since he Li Kun's sincerity has arrived, then our side must also show his sincerity, and it is okay for Nan'an County to occupy several towns with dangerous terrain near our Lianguan County, don't continue to go north." ”

"Nan'ana seems to be a good place, but it is on the edge of Chongguang City, and most places are not easy to deploy, so let Li Kun and them accept it for the time being, we only need to take over the area north of Sanyang Town and Qingshan Town, and when the time comes, we can also move the northern defense line forward appropriately."

As Lin Ziran and Li Kun reached an agreement on the issue in Nan'an County, the two sides began to look at each other.

Li Kun said that his grenades were a little insufficient, but a batch of artillery and muskets had been captured in front of him, so could he exchange goods with Lin Ziran for a batch.

Also, if you can, it's best to be able to use the coal reserve price, don't you Lin Ziran have an oil company under his hand that needs a lot of coal, if it is purchased outside, it is better for me to supply it directly to you, to ensure good quality and low price!

Lin Ziran immediately said, although we don't have much ammunition in stock, but since Brother Li, since you have spoken, then you can definitely change it.

Of course, we don't have many new grenades produced by the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, but there are a batch of old-style disc wooden fuse grenades.

Li Kun is now poor, although he also knows that the new grenade launched on a large scale by the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau this year is more useful, but that thing is expensive, and Nanzhou Bank has always paid for it with one hand and delivered it with the other.

Now there are old grenades on Lin Ziran's side, which is also good.

At most, the effective range is a little less, but it's better than nothing.

As a result, there was a small steam boat on the Luo River between Sanyang Town and Pingdan County.

Li Kun used eight artillery pieces and 2,000 Fuyuan muskets in exchange for a large number of grenades, solid bullets, black powder and other consumable materials.

It is worth noting that although Lin Ziran said that these grenades, solid bullets and gunpowder were stored by himself, in fact, these things were produced by Qingshan Machinery Factory.

Aoyama Machinery Factory is limited by technical capabilities and scale, there is no way to produce guns on a large scale for the time being, and there is no way to mass-produce maroon gunpowder and new grenades, but these old ammunition is still not a problem, after all, solid bullets, old iron-cast round wooden fuse grenades, black powder or something is not an advanced technology, many people can say why, some small workshops can also produce, but the scale is certainly not large, it is difficult to provide large-scale if it is not a professional arsenal.

Although Tsingshan Machinery Factory said that the current technology is still not good, but the scale has slowly come up, now Tsingshan Machinery Factory has hundreds of people, and there are continuous procurement of advanced equipment, the production of these things without technical content is relatively easy.

This time the two sides traded for goods, except for Li Kun who directly exchanged guns and cannons at the beginning, and then directly exchanged coal.

And the price of this coal is very low, only about 70% of the market price.

Lin Ziran didn't feel anything about this transaction, and the reason why he did business with Li Kun was to continue to maintain friendly and cooperative relations between the two parties.

But Ding Quankun's side was smiling!

The grenade gunpowder sold, although it is exchanged for goods, is also calculated according to the market price, this price is not high or low, it is definitely much cheaper than the new grenade from the Nanzhou Bank, but it will not be much cheaper than the old ammunition of the Nanzhou Bank, and the overall profit is also considerable.

As for the other party's coal, it is only 70% of the market price.

Moreover, this seventy percent is already seventy percent of the price of coal in Pindan, which is already extremely cheap.

This one in and one out, the profit is very high.

When Ding Quankun was satisfied, Li Kun was also very satisfied.

Because in addition to the guns exchanged at the beginning, the coal exchanged later does not actually cost him much money, and there is only a small amount of mining and transportation costs.

Because this coal is his own!

After he led the army into Pinkan County, he accepted a large number of coal mines.

In addition to some of the coal mines in Pyongtan County, a considerable part of them are controlled by official capital.

Luo'an County Shoufu, Feng Haozhong, they actually have coal mines in Pingdan County.

Just as the Tsingshan Oil Company was owned by Lin Ziran, it was common in Luo'an County and elsewhere to have direct control of local industries by local feudal towns.

And what Li Kun accepted was the coal mines controlled by these Luo'an Domain.

However, it is now in the middle of the war, and most of the previous sales channels of these coal mines were the responsibility of the trading houses under the name of the feudal towns, and most of the coal sales companies in Luo'an County were also controlled by the Luo'an government.

And he, Li Kun, has just accepted these coal mines, and he has never done this business before, so this new sales channel has not been established for a while.

Now although some of his coal can be sold, but the price is very low, people are bullying Li Kun has no sales channels, and the two sides are also in a state of hostility to a certain extent, if it is not for the fact that they really need the coal supply of Pingdan County, they probably will not come to purchase.

As for the average coal merchant, don't expect them to pay a high price.

Affected by the war, although the navigation of the Luo River has not been cut off, except for a few powerful commercial houses that can continue to come and go, many ordinary merchant ships have not run this section of the route in order to avoid the war.
