Under Tang Ming's instructions, Zhu Yong pulled all the pirate ships parked near Ryukyu Island as quickly as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info two treasure ships as the power, each pulling nearly fifty ships, marching side by side on the sea, the long fleet still looks quite spectacular.

Yan Ruwei boarded the pirate ship accompanied by Tang Ming to check, the empty ship was not small, and it was still very new, the only drawback was that most of the ship's planks were torn, and the guns on the ship were some old, almost rusty iron cannons.

The paint on the exterior didn't feel very dry when he touched it with his fingers, Yan Ruwei frowned and asked Tang Ming carefully, "Master Hou, did the paint of this artillery just brush it up?" Why does it still feel sticky when I touch it? ”

Tang Ming naturally wouldn't tell Yan Ruwei that these cannons were all artillery that Da Ming was going to take back to the furnace, and a few days ago he asked people to replace the cannons on the pirate ship, and he deliberately repainted them in order to hide people's eyes.

The fox-like smile jumped on Tang Ming's face again, and this guy laughed and said: "Admiral Yan doesn't need to worry, these cannons are all used by the original pirates, it's not that the sea is relatively humid, and the fire cannons will be broken after not being used for a long time, so they can have a protective effect." ”

Although Tang Ming said that it was reasonable, Yan Ruwei had already become wary of Tang Ming, so there was still suspicion on his face. In order to dispel his suspicions, Tang Ming's face tightened and he said coldly: "Could it be that Admiral Yan suspects me of replacing the pirate's artillery?" ”

"Master Hou is too careful, Yan will definitely not have this idea!" Yan Ruwei said that he believed it, but there was a diametrically opposite expression on his face, and the suspicion in his eyes could not be more obvious.

Tang Ming sneered in his heart, squinted his eyes and said, "What does Admiral Yan think of the artillery on my Great Ming Treasure ship?" ”

Although I don't know why Tang Ming suddenly asked this question, Yan Ruwei still honestly replied: "The artillery on the Da Ming Bao ship is not only new, but also has a large caliber, although Yan has not seen with his own eyes how powerful it is when he fires, but judging from the appearance, it must not be bad." ”

"Then do you think that if I have such artillery, I will still look at these cannons on the pirate ship? The reason is obvious, we won't use the guns on the pirate ship, and we will also return to the furnace and rebuild these when they are pulled back, so what else does Admiral Yan have to worry about! Tang Ming asked Yan Ruwei confidently.

Yan Ruwei lost in he never had seen what the guns on the pirate ship looked like, Tang Ming also grasped this point tightly, opening his mouth and closing his mouth is how powerful Da Ming's artillery is, under normal thinking, Yan Ruwei would never have imagined that Tang Ming was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Hou don't want to misunderstand, how could Yan have such an idea! However, there are many damaged places in this ship, I don't know how much the Hou Ye bid to sell it to my Luzon Kingdom? Yan Ruwei's doubts were all gone, and in order not to make the atmosphere too tense, he changed the topic casually.

As soon as he talked about the issue of money, Tang Ming's attitude immediately improved, with the face of a profiteer, he stretched out two fingers lightly and shook them in front of Yan Ruwei, and said: "A ship with equipped artillery, not much, two million silver." ”

This price is indeed very cheap, after all, this pirate ship is about to catch up with the Ming warship, in addition to the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty on the sea today, it must be the best and largest pirate warship.

Besides, the cost of building this empty ship alone is more than two million taels of silver, and Tang Ming just said that it will be given away along with the guns on the ship, which is indeed not a high price.

But this is different from the ships that sail in the river, and the broken or old ships are not much of a problem in navigating the inland rivers, but they are different at sea. The sea is high and rough, and if the hull of the ship is slightly damaged, it will sometimes invite a catastrophe.

And those cannons, Yan Ruwei has no bottom in his heart, he never knows whether those newly painted cannons can be used, and what their power is, if it is just a pile of tatters, then he has to buy another artillery, this money is not a small amount.

After calculating it like this, Yan Ruwei still felt that Tang Ming's asking price was a little higher, and he wanted to talk to Tang Ming about the price, but looking at his expression. Yan Ruwei was also hesitant for a while, although the king gave him the right to act cheaply, but this transaction was not a small amount, and it was impossible to be cautious.

After thinking about it again and again, Yan Ruwei still hesitated and said: "Master Hou's price is indeed fair, but you see, our Luzon has been blocked by this group of pirates for half a year, and the domestic economy has been greatly damaged, and the treasury is even more difficult to get out. Yan is willing to ask Master Hou, can this price be cheaper? ”

Tang Ming gave a price of two million taels of silver, which was naturally not the bottom line in his heart, such a one-time transaction, of course, was a lion's mouth, and if he was lucky, he would make money if he fooled others, as for what would happen in the future, it was not something Tang Ming needed to consider.

But in fact, Tang Ming had a better idea, he suddenly approached Yan Ruwei's side with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, why don't you just order it, junior brother, I only need you to have one million taels of silver." But you Luzon must let my merchant ships trade in your port, and of course, there must be no taxes, and if it is all right, when the ship is delivered, I will send someone to Luzon with my eldest brother to meet the king, and then we can discuss the specific measures. ”

Yan Ruwei smiled, laughing from the bottom of his heart, half the price was cheaper, he had nothing to promise. He couldn't come to Luzon to trade, the coast had been blocked by pirates for half a year, and now there was a need for caravans to enliven every port.

hit it off, and the two sides finally successfully completed the transaction under the premise that Tang Ming seemed to give in. Yan Ruwei was anxious to share the good news with the king of Luzon, and did not linger any longer, and hurried back with a farewell.

With him was Fei Xin, Tang Ming had already informed him of his plan, and the pirate ship sold was also pulled by Fei Xin to Luzon with two treasure ships. Of course, the 100 million taels of silver sold will fill the two treasure ships and bring them back at that time.

As soon as Yan Ruwei walked on the front foot, Zhu Di walked out with a smile on his back foot, and he looked at Tang Ming with his eyes as if he was looking at a piece of peerless jade. The flickering light in his eyes had the possibility of swallowing Tang Mingsheng alive.

Zhu Di smiled and patted Tang Ming's shoulder, and praised: "Your name as the 'God of Wealth' really deserves its reputation, this tattered pirate warship is 100 million taels of silver as soon as it changes hands, it's good, hahaha......." (To be continued.) )
