I've heard that your submarine has recently been making waves in the Yangtze River, sinking and injuring many passing ships. Liu Ziguang buttoned a hat first.

"This...."Wen Jun obviously didn't know about this, his angry gaze swept towards Zhao Jing, who wiped his sweat in embarrassment, "The new boat is still not easy to operate, these fishing boats change their course at will, last time there were still twenty or thirty small boats from Nanjing Maliu Fishing Company who tried to round up our boat, and only a few of them were knocked over as a last resort, and they took the road away....." His voice became lower and lower under Wen Jun's angry gaze.

"So, you have to compensate our fishermen for their losses!" Liu Ziguang said solemnly.

"The compensation is certain, but General Liu doesn't seem to be able to represent your court, right?" Wen Jun was very dissatisfied with Liu Ziguang's move to divert the topic, and said a sentence.

"All the people of the Ming Dynasty can negotiate with the barbarians on behalf of the court in the absence of the court." Liu Ziguang just wanted to overwhelm the other party in momentum and morality, he had heard that Nanjing Maliu Fishing Company was actually a semi-underworld fishing organization, so he didn't bother to care about those idle things.

"I'll compensate for this, let's talk about business, how much General Liu offered, plus the cost of helping us salvage the boat just now, calculate the number together, as long as it's not too outrageous, I can accept it."

"Well, I've been learning to paint recently, especially interested in Gongbi flowers and birds, I suddenly want to keep your Great Song Dynasty body god Hedao Jun Lie Xun Gong Shengwen Rende Xianci Xianxiao Emperor "Sketch Rare Birds" to learn and reference, every day at home to look at the copy, will be able to progress very quickly." Liu Ziguang said shamelessly, purely to raise the price. asked people out and suddenly changed their words and said that they would not sell it, and it was also a loss to what he said.

"Our eldest lady is also a person who loves painting, I heard that I was going to sell paintings to you, and I made trouble several times, alas...."Liu Ziguang also glanced at Peng Jingrong seriously. The latter nodded helplessly and cooperated: "It's a pity to shoot so easily." ”

Such a low-level trick is naturally pediatric in the eyes of senior diplomat Wen Jun, and it will ruin the scenery when it is broken, he pretended to be surprised: "General Liu is really a civil and military all-rounder, swords, guns, swords, halberds, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, especially this fine brush painting can exercise the heart the most, Wen fully supports it, but I am afraid it is not good to borrow the beloved things of the queen mother of your country to the house?" This is a deal of killing the head and destroying the door, others can't hide from it, General Liu and Yaxing are copying at home, Wen is really a little worried while admiring it. ”

"Your imperial court is tracking down very closely, and the monitoring of our Great Song Dynasty mission is not leaky, if it weren't for Wen Mou coming by submarine, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to sit together."

"I also think it's risky, but if I sell it like this, I will inevitably be suspected of smuggling national treasures, I'm sorry for my ancestors." Liu Ziguang pounded his chest and feet.

"Our Great Song Dynasty is the authentic descendants of Yan and Huang, the remnants of China, it is not a national treasure outflow, besides, this is a painting of our Great Song Emperor, in the Song Kingdom will be carefully kept, and please General Liu put a thousand hearts, the general is very moved by the love of the national treasure Wen Mou, so let's do it, in order to commend the general's enthusiasm for caring for cultural relics and national treasures, Wen Mou will be a master for the imperial court, and pay the general a thousand gold coins." Wen Jun was generous, and he was really a wealthy Duke of Song Guogong.

"Then how embarrassing, in fact, I don't love money at all, I just like to play some advanced things, by the way, Lord Wen is authorized by the imperial court to be fast, even if it is eight hundred miles in an emergency, it can't run so fast, and the carrier pigeon can't fly so fast, how did he contact the Song court thousands of miles away? I'd love to know. ”

Wen Jun's pupils contracted imperceptibly: "There is no special way, it's just a fast mail ship, Wen was authorized as early as last year, and he can purchase the paintings of the former emperor on behalf of the imperial court." ”

"That's the case, then I'll keep the "Sketch of Rare Birds" to copy it, it's good to draw birds, flowers and plants, and keep a hand when Lord Wen speaks, it's boring, it's boring." Liu Ziguang stood up, turned his hands behind his back, and looked out of the porthole, looking absent-minded.

"Hahaha, isn't General Liu fancy some treasure of our Great Song Dynasty, right? Let's say, whether it is a person or a thing, as long as it does not involve major military events, Wen can call the shots. The diplomatic rhetoric of the two sides has been back and forth,-for-tat, and Liu Ziguang hinted at the radio station in the Song Dynasty. Wen Jun politely refused.

"Master Wen just said that he could deal with it with full authority, and now he said that in addition to this and that, to be honest, the development of science and technology cannot be stopped, if you don't say it, others can also invent it, but only a few years later, I want this thing, but also for the sake of all things in the entire Chinese land, in order to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, and return my rivers and mountains! A technology can only be considered a great invention if it is truly used for the benefit of all people, otherwise it is just a trick. After saying some righteous and awe-inspiring words, Liu Ziguang felt that a halo was about to appear above his head, and Peng Jingrong's gaze became a little blurred when he looked at him.

Wen Jun did not speak, radio technology is one of the most secret inventions of the Song Dynasty, and only important missions stationed abroad and fleet communication and liaison ships are equipped, which is a guarantee of a decisive victory. If you buy such advanced technology for the sake of a painting, it is not worth it. But Liu Ziguang's words also make sense, even if they don't sell it, they won't study it themselves.

"The long-wave radio station is a good thing, the next time I send the news, I will send it to the top of the Purple Mountain, the altitude can spread farther, and there may be no need for a relay station in Shanghai." Liu Ziguang said very casually. "I've been studying this game for a while with a few talented people from the Ministry of Engineering, if you don't want to, forget it, it's a big deal to spend a little more time, I don't believe that the Ming people can't get the radio, come to people, send off guests."

This is indeed the truth, and he doesn't have such an urgent need for radio, anyway, Addison can study it sooner or later, so he has a lot of confidence in speaking.

But Wen Junke didn't have so much confidence, he originally came with the confidence that he would win, and boxes of silver tickets, Jiaozi, and gold coins were placed in the submarine, and he had already guaranteed the imperial court to ensure that the "Sketch of Rare Birds" could catch up with the mail ship departing from Shanghai the day after tomorrow to return to China. Now Liu Ziguang suddenly put forward such an unacceptable condition, which gave this experienced diplomat quite a headache.

"I'm willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver to buy a painting!" Wen Jun ruthlessly said an astronomical number, and then waited to see Liu Ziguang's reaction, but before the main person could speak, Peng Jingrong said: "My little sister spent 100,000 taels to buy two dogs." The implication is that there is no silver at all.

Negotiating is the same as buying something at a night market, where the buyer always expresses his disdain for the quality of the goods, the price is extremely dissatisfied, and even turns around and wants to leave, while the seller does everything possible to prove that he is genuine and innocent, and finally pulls the customer to sell when he turns away.

But Wen Jun didn't have the capital to do this, he couldn't show disdain for the goods, because it was the true work of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't turn around and leave to shop around, because "Sketch of Rare Birds" was the only one, there was no other semicolon, even if he really left, the harsh seller probably wouldn't care at all, people didn't care about money, and they didn't care about getting radio technology one day earlier or one day later.

"Master Wen, what do you think the world will be like in five hundred years?" Liu Ziguang suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Wen Jun is such a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was going to use the topic to play, and said in a deep voice: "Please make it clear to the general." ”

"At that time, people, no matter how high or low, each person had a miniature radio, which could talk to relatives and friends at the ends of the earth anytime and anywhere, gold and silver were reduced to worthless industrial raw materials, and ancient paintings are still ancient paintings, and they will only be more valuable with the passage of time, do you think it will be like this in five hundred years?" Liu Ziguang persuaded Wen Jun from a historical perspective.

"A great person should have a bit of an internationalist spirit, don't always think about monopoly, monopoly, technological superiority, that's called narrow-mindedness! I think the original intention of the scientists who invented this thing was also to benefit the public, not to let you hide it. Doesn't Lord Wen want to leave a name in history? ”

Liu Ziguang's so-called big truth about running the train actually moved Wen Jun, "Okay, I agreed!" "There is a thousand-mile microphone on the mixed river dragon, and I will let them dismantle it for you immediately."

"Wait, there's only one on the Mixed River Dragon, how can you let me use it, at least two!" Liu Ziguang took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"There are not a few in the entire territory of the Ming Kingdom, and there are currently two can't be made up, so let's take one first, we will take the ancient paintings away, and let the domestic production of another one be sent to your home, how about it?" Wen Jun said.

"That won't do! What should you do if you pay the bills, so let's do it, don't dismantle it and dismantle it, I'll take the mixed river dragon away, and then you can exchange another radio, which is more reliable. ”

"No!" Without waiting for Wen Jun to answer, Zhao Jing, who had been silent, spoke, asking for Mingjianglong was equivalent to asking for his life, and it was shameful to sell the ship as the captain.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it, send off!" Liu Ziguang once again asked for the termination of the negotiations, which was a killer feature of the negotiations.

Wen Jun, who wanted to leave with his sleeves up, still maintained a good cultivation, and said: "General Liu, Wen is not at home in the affairs of the navy, not to mention such a top-secret submarine, it is an ordinary sampan, and it can't be said that it will be given away, besides, the submarine was given to the general, so how can we take the painting to escape the tracking of your country's Dongchang and Jinyiwei and send it overseas?" The general still wants something else, like silver or something. ”

Originally, it was a bluff to mix Jianglong, since people are in trouble, let's get off the donkey down the slope, Peng Jingrong also interjected on the side, "You want other people's boats, how can they go home, or just collect some money." ”

"That's it, just now you said that you would pay 500,000 taels, and now the discount is 250,000 taels, plus the cost of salvaging your submarine, a total of 300,000 taels, which is fair." Liu Ziguang said.

Fair fart! When the submarine was salvaged, the 6,000 stone grain that sank into the river was worth less than 10,000 taels of silver, but now it has increased fivefold. However, Wen Jun didn't want to be entangled with the scoundrel anymore, "Justice! That's it, a thousand-mile microphone plus 300,000 taels of silver, deal! His face was already a little pale, and he had probably never experienced such a breath-holding negotiation.

"Deal!" Liu Ziguang got up and shook hands with Wen Jun. "Cultivated." "Shameless enough." The two of them praised each other in their hearts.

Because he was afraid that the sailors would destroy the radio, Liu Ziguang took Addison to personally monitor the dismantling of the radio, although Liu Ziguang did not understand the technology, but he had an amazing memory, and he could never forget it, and after reading it, he could draw the approximate size of the mixed river dragon, and Addison was even more powerful, he could see the principle and operation of the submarine, and it was not difficult to go back and imitate the same submarine.

This submarine uses a small steam engine and a battery pack to drive the battery, and when sailing on the surface, the steam engine is used to burn the Nanyang oil with high combustion value, which is clean and residue-free, and the battery pack is used for underwater navigation.

The radio was dismantled, the motor of the mixed river dragon was repaired, the big hole in the water storage tank was also repaired, and after the "Sketch of Rare Birds" was handed over to Wen Jun for careful inspection, after the delivery of silver tickets and gold coins worth 300,000 taels of silver, the two sides shook hands and said goodbye, and the atmosphere was friendly and sincere.

Wen Jun stood on the Mixed River Dragon Command Tower and Liu Ziguang politely said "There will be a period later" and then got into the submarine, and closed the cover with a bang, and the mixed Jianglong opened the water storage valve, slowly sank into the river, and after reaching a depth, he was suspended in the river water, raised the periscope, started the motor, and drove towards Shanghai.

"Brother Wen, if we do this, will we be punished by the imperial court?" The Naval Commander asked the Lieutenant Colonel of the Imperial Guards.

"No, in the armed conflict with Taiwan's Zheng family last month, a thousand-mile microphone has been captured by the enemy, this thing can't be forbidden, it's better to sell it late than early, and it can be sold at a good price, the final bottom line of the imperial court's original budget is two million taels of silver, we spent 300,000 taels and a small ship costing three hundred taels of silver to exchange the national treasure for a thousand-mile microphone, do you say it's worth it? Do you think the court will recognize or punish us? Wen Jun had a smile on his reserved face, "When it comes to negotiations, he's still a little tender." ”
