"Stop!" Du Yande shouted, "You can't run away!" ”

Xu Weileng, who heard the shout, paused for a moment, this is not Cantonese or Hokkien, but it is very similar to official dialect. This stunned, Du Yande had already chased within ten meters. He was so frightened that the bun on his head jumped up noticeably, and he ran wildly into the alley.

"Lao Du, you can slow down, this road is very long, but it is a dead end, as long as he doesn't run to the yards on both sides, there is a wall at the end." Yuan Zhenli was holding his head in his hands, comfortably leaning on the trunk of a tree on the side, and said leisurely.

Sure enough, when Du Yande saw Xu Wei who was stunned in front of the high wall at the end, Xu Wei, who was out of breath, turned his head to look at the pursuers, and sat on the ground. Du Yande smiled, did not put away the pistol, just looked at the panting No. 1 enemy of the Executive Committee.

The person in front of him was only about one meter five and a half as almost all the people he had seen in this time and space, and his body was relatively thin, but looking at the horizontal eyes full of despair and killing intent, he couldn't take it lightly, not to mention that the scar on his face that looked deeper made this person look fierce, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart. "Mr. Xu Wei?"

Xu Wei raised his head and looked at Du Yande's harmless smiling face, and nodded with a wry smile. "How do you know where I'm going? I'm leaning over in the crowd, how can I be seen? ”

Du Yande smiled and didn't speak, just raised his hand and pointed upward. Xu Wei followed his hand and looked up, and sure enough, he saw a four-legged turtle-like thing floating in the air. He couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still not convinced by the things in Zhuangzi, I think you are attacking me and not being prepared to win, now it seems that you are not only attacking me and not being prepared, but also with the assistance of this unexpected artifact, even if you come to attack that Zhuangzi in broad daylight, I'm afraid you are full of confidence, right?" ”

At this time, Du Yande's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment in crushing the ancients with black technology, and he nodded with a smile on his face. Xu Wei sighed and asked, "At this time, if I say that I have no ill will towards you and other American maritime merchants, I don't know if you believe it?" ”

This time it was Du Yande's turn to be stunned. "How do we believe that you kidnapped our people and said they had no malicious intent?"

"We have been waiting for the American sea goods for a long time, but we have not been able to contact you maritime merchants, Zhou Laosan should also be in your hands now, and you should know what you ordered him at the beginning."

Du Yande couldn't help but nodded, he also read Zhou Laosan's interrogation record, Xu Wei, as his superior, gave him the order to obtain the contact information of the American maritime businessman in the fastest possible time, and invite the American maritime businessman to the house to discuss the possibility of cooperation. As a result, although Zhou Laosan was a strategist, he was still a rough man, and his subordinates were a gang of rough people, and in the end, it turned into a kidnapping and theft. After Xu Wei knew it, he also severely reprimanded these guys with muscles in their heads, but everyone had already been tied up, so he asked the wrong first.

"The kidnapped maritime merchant, I have always treated her politely as a friend, and I have never said anything excessive, nor have I been violent to her, and I haven't lied to her, right?" There was a kind of sincerity in Xu Wei's tone. Du Yande was a little unsure whether he was telling the truth or falsehood, but the person in front of him did not seem to be a threat.

"Please give me a good time in the next one." As he spoke, Xu Wei lowered his head, looking like he was listening to it. This action made Du Yande not know what to do.

Seriously, at the beginning of the meeting at the base, a resolution had been made to find a chance to deal with the No. 1 enemy of the Executive Committee, but at the beginning, seeing him arguing with those few Maidno people with righteous indignation, he didn't look like a traitor at all, and at this time, after this unprepared conversation, during which he also carefully checked Xu Wei's expression, unexpectedly he was not lying, which made Du Yande unable to make a ruthless move despite the weapon in his hand.

"Get up, we're not murderers, and your men kidnapped one of our important people that day, and we had to make such a backlash in a hurry." Du Yande didn't dare to let go of the pistol in his hand, and tried to make the fierce-looking person in front of him stand up.

Xu Wei stood up obediently and looked at Du Yande strangely. "Your people killed fifty or sixty of us in that Zhuangzi and burned most of the Zhuangzi, isn't this a thirst for killing?"

"Didn't you kidnap us first? There's no news left, and if we hadn't found it ourselves, how long would you have held her in? Must, at the end, you have to extort a ransom, right? ”

Xu Wei was speechless, this was indeed one of his original plans.

"Let's go out and see if those three Medenor are still alive. You stopped them? ”

"Yes, when I saw the girl with tears on her face, it was not like a transaction in the human market, so I stopped and asked to see the deed."

At this time, Xu Wei had already walked into Du Yande, Du Yande naturally did not dare to take it lightly, the pistol was withdrawn to his waist, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Xu Wei, and he replied, "Then I really want to thank Your Excellency, otherwise these three Fanyi gangsters would have already fled with this girl." ”

"A manly man, he should be brave in the face of righteousness."

When the two of them walked back to the street without saying a word, they saw a few people interrogating them at the scene from a distance, and the people on the side were indignantly pointing fingers on the side, and the three people were obviously injured, and one of their heads was broken, and they didn't dare to let go of their hands when they pressed their heads, and blood slowly dripped down their fingers.

"You three mean that you bought the woman from the human market? And then snatched up by a group of peasants? One of them, who was obviously better dressed, asked.

"Yes." The Medeno people who had their heads broken looked pitiful, and the peasants just now probably scared away when they saw the official coming, so no one could argue with them.

"And what about the woman's deed?" The head of the fast catcher examined the wounded man's head slightly.

"They also snatched it." Said the Maidno man who was holding his shoulder.

"What's going on?" Xu Wei said loudly and walked over, making Du Yande depressed. Now that there is an official messenger on the scene, if he really fights and shoots, he will probably be treated as a thief by the government.

Several officials suddenly showed a respectful look when they saw Xu Wei's appearance. They all bowed and said, "Hello Mr. Xu." ”

Xu Wei also made a move. "I stopped them just now, because the woman was dressed and didn't look like the person who bought it, and she was tied up, so I asked them for a deed to see, but these three people never took it out, obviously they had a ghost in their hearts! All the villagers and elders present can testify that after those women's families chased after them, they naturally took the women away, how could these lustful and adulterous people lose their reputation? ”

Several officials couldn't help but nod their heads and looked around, and the people on the side also agreed.

"Torture away!" The leader of the fast catcher shouted loudly, and a few catchers quickly stepped forward and tied the three maidno people with a set of chains, and dragged them to the yamen.

Since the excitement was gone, the crowd quickly dispersed, and Xu Wei did not take advantage of the chaos to leave, but stepped forward and bowed deeply to Du Yande. "Thank you for bringing the woman's family to help, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to stop this time for a long time."

Hehe, he's still a guy who is anxious for justice and righteousness, why don't you talk to him first? Du Yande muttered in his heart, and was when he met an old farmer next to him shouting at him in the corner. "Two benevolent fathers!"

Du Yande and Xu Wei were stunned, and suddenly Du Yande remembered that this was the father of the woman before. The old farmer ran forward quickly, knelt down in front of the two, and the two hurriedly took two steps forward to help them up.

"Thank you for the two kindnesses, if it weren't for the two of them to help, I'm afraid that the little girl would have been exiled to a foreign land now, and maybe she wouldn't be able to see her again in this life." said that the old farmer wanted to kneel down again, but Du Yande crossed the old farmer with both hands and refused to kneel. "As this friend said, I should be a husband for this reason."

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver coins stamped during the test run of the stamping machine of the industrial group, on which were some cartoon portraits designed by a group of art-loving traversers, what Mickey Mouse Donald Duck Doraemon or something, this was originally a trial production thing, which was quietly invested in the Mingzhou market on a small scale, to see how much the silver black hole during the folk hard currency exchange had a devouring effect on this silver coin with a fairly high fineness and lower than its weight. Du Yande hesitated for a moment, and stuffed the two silver coins into the old farmer's hand, "Take it, buy some delicious food for the child, by the way, let the two young people in the teahouse go back too, I still have something to do there." ”

The old peasant took the novel silver coin with a shudder, looked at it curiously for a while, looked at the words on it and hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly jumped up as if he had just woken up from a dream. "Oops! Da Mao and Er Mao are still in the teahouse, I have to go and call them back. ”

At this time, Du Yande and Xu Wei actually looked at each other and smiled. Then I suddenly remembered the unclear relationship between the two sides.

"Or ...... In the next east, please invite this American shopkeeper to sit in the front tea house? Xu Wei arched his hand to Du Yande and said.

Du Yande looked ahead, a small tea stall was placed on the side of the road, a few customers were sitting there drinking tea, and a gray flag hung on the pergola pulled by bamboo, on which was written the word "tea" crookedly.

"Okay, please ......"

The two sat down at a small square table in the tea stall, looked at each other for a while, both pondering what to say, and after a while, Xu Wei spoke first. "The honorable driver knows the name below, so ...... I also asked the shopkeeper's honorable name. ”

Du Yande smiled, "My surname is Du, and my name is Yande." ”

"Is there a table?"

"There is no word in the table. My American name is simple, and I don't need to use the word anymore. ”

"And where is the United States?"

Du Yande was stunned, this is a cliché. "I only know that I am in the distance, and I am just an ordinary merchant below, not a sailor, so I naturally don't know the direction."

Xu Wei pointed to the sky, "To be accompanied by this divine object, it must not be an ordinary businessman." ”

Du Yande looked at the sky along his hand, but Yuan Zhenli hadn't taken the quadcopter back yet, and was flying high and low in the sky.

He hurriedly pressed the Adam's apple sounder. "Xiao Yuan! Take the reconnaissance plane back. ”

"Oh? Are you okay there? Why don't you just kill him? ”

"There's something to discuss here, you can get the reconnaissance plane back first. It's okay. ”

Xu Wei looked at Du Yande alone with a surprised expression, talking to himself by his throat, but he asked and answered questions as if he was talking to someone. "Could it be that the shopkeeper Du has cultivated a set of thousands of miles of sound transmission?" He asked, pointing to the flying machine that was slowly flying away, and his eyes widened.

Du Yande stammered obviously, "This ...... This is a magic weapon," he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then said, "It's not a kind of cultivation. ”

Xu Wei smiled, knowing that the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, so he smiled and asked, "American seafood is a rare treasure in my Mingzhou City, I don't know how to negotiate with Master Huang?" ”

"There are many kinds of American goods, I don't know which one Mr. Xu is talking about?"

"Let's talk about perfume, I don't know what the price you American maritime merchants give to Master Huang?"

I'll it! The kind of inferior perfume that comes wholesale from the wholesale market is directly to the point of breaking the head here? Du Yande couldn't help but say secretly in his heart. "Perfume is a big deal. Perfume in the United States is just a small category. ”

"Xu is willing to hear about it." Xu Wei immediately put on a curious baby expression.

Du Yande dug into his pocket again, in fact, he didn't know what he had stuffed into his pocket today.

Suddenly, his fingertips touched a metal object, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a multi-purpose saber. He placed the knife on the table.

"This is the all-purpose knife produced in our country." ……

"Almighty??" Xu Wei curiously picked up this multi-functional knife and carefully inspected the things on it, the blade and saw blade made him feel very novel, but it was just a novelty, although this thing was well-made, but it was not beyond the scope of his cognition, and his face obviously showed a disappointed expression of disappointment with this tool knife. "I wonder if the shopkeeper Du has something like perfume that can cause a sensation in Mingzhou?"

Du Yande couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he just came out to negotiate the RO desalination system today, which was even more unexpected when he met Xu Wei, not to mention that he was originally going to be eliminated by a fixed point, how could he bring a lot of samples on his body?

couldn't help but reach into his pocket again, but Xu Wei's eyes were fixed on Du Yande. "I wonder if the clothes on the shopkeeper Du are American-style?"

Du Yande paused for a moment and nodded.

"I wonder if I can let you watch it next?"

At this time, the climate was not cool, and even a little hot, Du Yande didn't say much, and directly took off the long-sleeved training uniform and handed it over.

Xu Wei's eyes lingered on the holster under Du Yande's armpit, took the training uniform and looked at it carefully, from the thread to the length of the sleeve, and then looked at the personal information label on the pocket, opened the pocket of the nylon hook and loop belt, and curiously tore it open and glued it several times, and then reached in and probed the depths of the pocket, turned it over and looked at the "Army Training Uniform" label on the collar again, pointed to the "xxxx factory production" below and asked curiously: "Could it be that the clothes in the United States are all produced by factories?" ”

"That's natural, if everyone makes their own clothes, isn't it a waste of time to work a lot? In some things that could have been mass-produced to reduce costs, the difference in efficiency between what a single person does and what a group of people does is simply very different. As he spoke, Du Yande saw Xu Wei's eyes full of incomprehension. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the large-scale industrial production of the big killer weapon could not be thrown out so early, otherwise if it was learned by these ancients, wouldn't it be easy for the ancients to dump the goods?

"Although I don't know what Shopkeeper Du said, I don't know why I have a very powerful feeling when I sound it." Xu Wei himself was also very strange, obviously he didn't understand a word, why did it feel like the other party was right.

"What does this training uniform mean?"

"Training uniform...... It is the clothes worn during combat and training. ”

"Is this all the clothing you wear? So if you put on cotton armor or iron armor, won't it be very heavy and inconvenient to walk? ”

"No, this dress is completely different from ordinary clothes, this cloth can withstand a short period of fire and cannot catch fire, almost pure cotton fabric can effectively prevent infrared rays from emanating, the color is very difficult to fade, and if you use camouflage that conforms to the topography, you can even achieve a stealth effect at a distance of 100 steps."

Xu Wei didn't understand anything except that this clothes were not afraid of fire, and he didn't know at all that such clothes could not block firearms and artillery, and even ordinary knives and spears might not be able to stop them, how useful could this be? I couldn't help but show a look of disdain in my eyes.

Du Yande naturally saw the disdain in his eyes, in fact, he himself couldn't say the benefits of this training uniform, the reason why he liked to wear it was only because of the training uniform, which everyone can wear, no matter what body shape, can find the right size, and it is suitable for wearing and doing things.

The two sat in front of the tea stall and exchanged a few words boringly, agreed to contact the small courtyard of Huangjiazhai in a few days, and then separated.

When I returned to the tea house, the RO desalination system had just been talked about. As Liu had predicted, the need for fresh water had not become less important because they had been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, and they had even had accidents in which the lives of the entire ship were in danger due to a broken bucket or a problem with the water storage tank. They had always thought they had no other way but to continue collecting rainwater or transporting water from the mainland, but now a group of American maritime merchants has emerged claiming that they can solve the problem.

Speaking of the world's oceans, there are hardly more familiar than the Medeno people, who have been adrift directly on the ocean for hundreds of years, and there are even tens of thousands of ships of various sizes on the sea, from small dhows to floating cities built up by eight 3,000-ton flat-bottomed boats. It was difficult to obtain subsistence resources at sea, so it didn't take long for them to find a way out and trade in the seas. Whether in this world or through the world, maritime transportation is the largest transportation capacity, and the Medenor people have an absolute advantage in this aspect, so they almost hold the maritime supremacy of the entire world.

However, at this time, the sudden appearance of American maritime merchants made them can't help but mutter, although there are still many empty places on their charts, but when have they heard of the Americans? These Americans' things are novel, although in the past, the industrial products of the Yaning people have always occupied the strongest position, but before the sudden emergence of American goods, the products of the Yaning people suddenly became worthless, and even began to import American goods directly from Master Huang of Mingzhou City to sell them to the Yaning people in the Central Continent, and I heard that they also made a lot of money. Although the bottles of these American-made perfumes are crystal clear, it is extremely rare, but the Yaning people are ruthless and can make them, but the thing that sprays perfume on the bottle Yaning people can't even figure out what the material is, let alone make it. The perfume inside is fragrant, although some Yaning people also try to analyze the materials inside, but the Yaning people, who have neither modern chemical equipment nor element detectors, can do nothing except take the magnifying glass they grind out and come over to look at these red, yellow, blue and green liquids with big eyes and small eyes, and the answer to them is only one sentence, "It can't be copied." ”

Americans suddenly came out of nowhere, bringing the perfume they needed, and although the other things were also very rare, they were far less amazing than the impact of perfume, but their goods were so good that it made people think that this should be a country founded on industrial products, but before that, where were these Americans? They brought a large number of goods as if they appeared out of thin air, and how did they get these goods to Mingzhou City?

Suddenly receiving the invitation of the Americans, they were confused, and they didn't know what the Americans were contacting them for, and they thought it was just a change of supplier, but now they suddenly talked about the issue of desalination.

Threatened by the lack of fresh water, the people of Maidno have been troubled by this matter for a long time, they have tried to use special water carriers to get water from uninhabited desert islands, and have also tried to collect distilled water at sea by boiling seawater, but the efficiency is very low, the demand for fresh water at sea, is not a little bit, especially for the maritime cities of Medeno, these two ships of fresh water are also a drop in the bucket, and now they suddenly heard the young Chinese with two glass pieces on their noses in front of them tell them that they can directly pump fresh water from the sea.

Once negotiations begin on both sides, it is easy to close a deal, and as a test product, U.S. Maritime first supplies a desalination system for a large Medenor trading vessel, in which U.S. Maritime is responsible for transporting parts to the terminal outside of Minnesota and instructing Medenor technicians on installation, technical guidance, and maintenance of the equipment. The test period is three months, and if feasible, a maritime city in Medeno will be deployed off the coast of Minnesota for the installation of a large-scale desalination system. As a test product transaction, after the successful test, the Medenor will provide the U.S. maritime with a set of charts drawn by the Medenor Navy. As for the price of a large-scale desalination system, wait until the test is successful before negotiating.
