"Abagon, don't be angry, you don't send someone ashore to report, just swagger over with a boat, it's such a gunboat, and you should be on guard on the shore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Wang Tong smiled and said to Abagon, Abagon, who came to sue Wang Tong last time, was extremely proficient in seeing the wind and making the rudder, although he scolded Sapo on the beach, but when he came to Wang Tong's side, he did not dare to have the slightest presumptuousness, and carefully recounted his grievances.

Although Juan and the others who came later recognized Abagun and confirmed his identity, Tangshan and his people were still cautious and sent arsonists to hang up the five ships brought by Abagon, poured fire oil directly on them, and ignited them at any time if something went wrong.

Moreover, the ships of other maritime merchants were temporarily requisitioned, and Ding Zhuang under Tang Shan and the soldiers of the Huwei Army boarded the ships together, and if there was anything wrong, they would do it directly.

In this way, several ships sailed into the Haihe River, and the Haihe Fort turned its guns and put them on strict alert, and after docking, each boat left two people on duty, and ten Huwei soldiers, and the rest all disembarked.

Portuguese merchant Abagon came with a large number of goods, he had seen the prosperity of Tianjin Wei, and also saw that there was a rare attention to merchants here, he came with a large number of goods this time, he thought that he would receive a grand courtesy, but he did not expect to be frightened at sea.

Daming is a state of etiquette, and after receiving such treatment, Abagon felt that Wang Tong would definitely feel sorry, and perhaps give himself some concessions in business.

So as soon as he saw Wang Tong, he couldn't stop talking, but Wang Tong's reaction was also faint, and when Abagon wanted to say more, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Your ship has so many cannons, and you don't give a signal, if it's a pirate who comes in, then what will I do on my side, won't it be destroyed!"

"Respected Lord Wang, coming here from my hometown thousands of miles away, how many winds and waves I have to go through along the way, how many pirates and even the navy I have to fight with, how can I do without artillery on the ship, and I didn't come here rashly this time, I also know how to say hello and come in again!"

"I didn't expect the artillery here to be so long, right!?"

Wang Tong smiled and asked rhetorically, Abagon suddenly stopped talking, although the artillery carried by the armed merchant ship is said to protect itself, but after all, it is armed, and on some suitable occasions, the armed merchant ship will also become pirates, and will also attack cities and plunder, even if they don't do this, the cannons on the ship are also guaranteed to buy and sell together, and even by force to buy and sell.

Of course, in this era, Western merchant ships did not dare to show off their might on the coastline of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to clamp their tails and be men in ports such as Tianjinwei that had sufficient artillery protection.

was broken by Wang Tong, Abagon stopped complaining, and Wang Tong didn't want to continue talking about the tacit matter, so he asked:

"What goods did you bring with you this time!?"

Abagong couldn't wait to change the topic away, and when he heard Wang Tong's question, he hurriedly replied with a smile:

"Spices of all kinds, blankets and woolen wool from the Persian side, and all kinds of gold and silver vessels and jewels bought from Arabia."

Although the sea has been open for a long time, the spices that can come from the South Seas will always have several times the profit, felt, blankets and woolen wool are all special products of the grassland and the Western Regions, and they are also huge profits, not to mention the blankets and woolen wool from the Persian side, the price will be several times the price of the goods from Mongolia and the Western Regions, and the exotic Arabian gold and silver utensils and jewelry are even more loved by the nobles of Beijing.

"You are going to do a long-term business in Tianjin Wei!"

Wang Tong smiled, Abagon nodded again and again, and said in response:

"Lord Wang is right, except for blankets and spices, all other goods must be sold slowly in the store!"

Exotic gold and silver utensils and jewelry, the big trading houses and warehouses will not eat a bite, only put them in the shop and sell them slowly, because these goods are almost unique, and slowly the reputation of the store can be established, and other goods can be driven, this Abagun is indeed a knowledgeable person.

The atmosphere eased somewhat, and Abagun stepped forward and said with a smile:

"This time, I have a gift for adults, but your guards left it outside, so let them take it in and have a look!"

Wang Tong nodded, and Tan on the side immediately went out to make arrangements, and after a while, a few soldiers came here with a few boxes, and Abagun opened the boxes with a smile.

One box is a pair of short guns, and another long box is a broad-bladed and straight-edged saber, and martial artists like weapons, and Wang Tong is no exception.

The saber is okay, the short gun is very much with Wang Tong's appetite, pick up a handle and look at it carefully, the short gun sent by Abagon is one third shorter than the two that Wang Tong himself carried, but the caliber is nearly one-third thicker, they are all steel wheel fire, quite exquisite, the upper floor is engraved with patterns, and there are embellishments of precious stones in several places.

Looking exquisite and rich, the gemstone may be scratched into the hand, and the pattern engraved on the barrel of the gun may reduce the strength, and the firearms of this era must be reliable first.

"Something that women play with children."

Wang Tong smiled, picked up the saber, compared to the ornately decorated short gun, the saber is much simpler, but the hand is sinking, much heavier than Wang Tong predicted, shaking in his hand, but it feels very handy, the center of gravity is also very stable, and the blade and other places are even more high-grade, this is a sharp weapon for killing.

"The villain came directly from the Nanyang side, and it is said that the adults should buy a set of our country's full-body armor, but the Nanyang side has no stock, so I had to buy a knife made in Damascus at a high price for the adults."

"You've got a heart!"

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and just as he was about to send off the guest, Abagun came over and asked in a low voice with a smile:

"My lord, the villain still has three hundred and fifty firearms in his goods this time, and he wants to sell them to his lord!"

In the business field, this is also a common routine, first give gifts and then talk about business, this will naturally not have any effect on Wang Tong, just a faint oh, Abagon continued with a smile:

"One hundred taels of silver per stroke, if the lord pays gold at one time, it can be counted as ninety taels per stroke."

Hearing the amount he reported, Wang Tong was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that Abagon was stunned there, Wang Tong greeted outside, and after a while, a soldier walked in with a firecracker, Wang Tong took it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Tianjin Wei mass production, twenty-five taels and one strokes, how many do you want, if you pay cash, twenty taels per stroke can also be."

The only problem is that the Huwei army has a limited establishment and cannot use so much, and the firearms of other armies will not be purchased in private workshops, so after producing a certain amount of equipment and retaining a part of it, the craftsmen will go to produce others.

The cost of each firecracker, Wang Tong knows in his heart, three taels per shot, this is already the price of all the artificial materials......

“…… Three hundred and fifty firearms, felt......."

The last time Abagon came, Wang Tong asked him to promote the benefits of Tianjin Wei and bring more craftsmen and the like, but this time he only came to make money with goods and firearms to cheat money, Wang Tong would not talk to him much, even if he added a powerful businessman to Tianjin Wei, this Abagon's shop is also a partnership with Wang Tong, and there is always money to be made.

In the evening, Haihe inspected Tangshan with the cargo list of the five Franc ships, this time the movement was too big, and all parties did not dare to slack off, and implemented it meticulously.

Abagun arranged the unloading and trading at noon, and Wang Tong didn't bother to care about the next thing, but the procedures that should be taken still had to be followed, and he still listened patiently.

However, these five ships carried a lot of goods, Wang Tong fell silent after listening, Tang Shan was about to say goodbye, but Wang Tong stopped and asked:

"If these five ships are not loaded, how much can they be loaded with people alone?"

Tang Shan was stunned, he was a veteran at sea, this question naturally couldn't help him, and after a little pondering, he replied:

"People have to eat and drink at sea, and the people they bring with them to different places are different, and it depends on whether they can dock to replenish them."

"Go to Nanzhili Haizhou, don't dock."

From Tianjin Wei to Nanzhili Haizhou, I don't know how many places can dock for supplies along the way, why not dock, but Tang Shan still quickly estimated the number of people and said:

"Five ships, including crews, almost two thousand."

Wang Tong nodded again with a deep groan, and after a while, he asked again:

"How's the matter going in Incheon?"

"Back to the adult, many people in the port know about that place, saying that it is now the territory of the "sea monkey", the villain asked a name, but the others do not know, and want to wait for the details to inquire and then report to the adult. “

Wang Tong nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Go and inquire again, and the five ships of this merchant are watched, it is okay to unload, no one is allowed to enter, no one is allowed to leave, and the surrounding area is also circled, and there are no idlers watching the excitement."

Tang Shan hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, Shi Li said goodbye and went out, but after going out, Tang Shan suddenly thought that going from Tianjin Wei to Haizhou was much closer than Tianjin Wei going to Incheon, so he shook his head and went to inquire about the news again.

That night, the big shopkeeper of the Liaoyang Warehouse was invited out of the banquet during the banquet, and he didn't know what to talk about outside, so he said goodbye to the buyer of Jingshi, hurriedly returned to the residence, and called the second shopkeeper to come to Wang Tong's mansion together, where there were already people waiting for them.

"These letters, I will arrange for the horse to go out tonight, I am not afraid of running a dead horse, the sooner it is delivered, the better!!"

Sun Dahai took Wang Tong's letterhead and shouted at the messenger cavalry who were on standby at any time......

On May 21, at the Yamen of Shuntianfu in Beijing, a small official entered the duty room of Lu Wancai, and after entering the door, he respectfully reported and said:

"Lord Lu, someone outside Nancheng has reported another case, and he is trying to kill him for money."
