234 North Korean buyers

May 12th. A fleet of fifty brigs of the Zhoushui Alliance, carrying a variety of high-value military cargo, escorted by up to 100 light fighting ships, left the Tanggukou base and sailed in the direction of Lushun.

A day later, the fleet arrived at the port of Arthur and carried out a halfway water replenishment. The large fleet then continued eastward and anchored the next day at the port of the walled city of Nampo, North Korea. The port of Nampo is at the end of the Taedong River, and if you walk 7 miles up the Taedong River, you can directly reach Pyongyang, the royal city of North Korea.

The Nanpo Walled City has tens of thousands of North Korean players and hundreds of thousands of NPCs. There are hundreds of naval vessels in the harbor, many merchant ships at anchor, at least tens of thousands of small boats, cabin ships, and sailing ships, mainly Korean players' ships, a small number of merchant ships from China and South Korea, and even Japanese ships - all of them are players who take high risks to do business across borders. Ships from outside are forbidden to enter the middle and upper reaches of the Datong River, and can only dock at the port of Nanpu.

When the Zhou Shui fleet arrived in Nampo, it almost startled the North Korean players in Nampo.

A hundred fighting ships can almost destroy the port of Nanpu.

Hundreds of naval warships stationed in the walled city of Nampo hurriedly dispatched, including 40 or 50 Korean warships and hundreds of small boats, to rush out of the harbor to intercept the hundreds of fighting ships of this strange fleet. The grade of those Korean warships was about the same as that of light fighting ships, and the number was more than half of the difference, so they didn't dare to do it easily, but just sent a few small boats to rush forward to harass and test it.

The Zhou fleet shot several giant crossbows, sinking the boats that tried to harass the fleet. By the way, loudly asked the Korean player who fell into the water to go back and tell them that the Zhoushui fleet was to protect the caravan from trading in Korea, not to fight, and would leave after the sale.

After the North Korean players who fell into the water on the boat paddled back to the Korean warship, the North Korean players realized that it was just a large merchant fleet from China. The hundreds of fighting ships were only the escorts of the fleet, and they all stayed at a long distance from the port of Nanpu. Not close to the port. Seeing that there was no war, the players in Nanpu calmed down.

The arrival of the Zhoushui fleet made the North Korean players in Nampo obviously excited and in awe. That's until now. The largest Chinese fleet appeared in Nanpu, and it was accompanied by a large group of warships.

The player leader of the North Korean Nampo Walled City came out quickly, and it was a middle-aged North Korean. Very warmly received the players of this Zhou Shui fleet and negotiated trade.

The Zhou Shui fleet began trading with North Korean players to determine the price of the transaction. Because the currencies are different, it is mainly bartered transactions. The Zhoushui caravan used leather armor, red medicine, bronze arrows, war bows, wine, etc., to trade copper ore, seafood and other products for Korean players. These trivial matters will not be mentioned for the time being.

The business negotiation was handed over to a commercial person in charge of the Zhou Shui fleet, Qin Xiaobai and the hooligan were dressed as ordinary merchant players, got off the ship, and accompanied by several Zhou Shui players, walked around the port and the Nanpu Walled City.

There are many players in the port and the walled city. Everywhere, you can see a team of 10 NPC soldiers patrolling with stone weapons to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

Qin Xiaobai is not idle, he came all the way to North Korea to shop. There are some things that are useless to rely on the intelligence gathering of his subordinates, and you don't see them with your own eyes. It's hard to get the first impression. They walked around the bustling harbor and ran through the entire market.

The hooligan nibbled on a large bag of fruit exchanged for a bronze arrow, and while handing it out to the accompanying players, he said in surprise: "Nanpu fruit is really cheap. A bronze arrow can't be exchanged for so many fruits in Zhoushui Walled City, and it would be good to be able to exchange it for one-tenth. It seems that the North Korean market has great potential, and just by exchanging, you can exchange a large amount of materials to go back. ”

Fruits, which can replenish the physical strength of players and NPCs, will stop the activity if they lack physical strength. Different fruits have different stamina supplements. Use fruit as food. Actually, it works. It's just that the effect of replenishing stamina is a little worse. High-value fruits that can even be boosted; Qin Xiaobai took a fruit casually. Laughing: "Of course, in the Bronze Age, what could North Korea lack?" There is not much difference between bronze and stone age, except that there is not enough bronze goods, there is no shortage of ordinary goods, and they are completely self-sufficient. I saw that there were also a lot of bronze weapons in the port market, but I don't know if they produced them themselves or if they were foreign. ”

The hooligan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Zhou Shui was able to produce bronze in January, and now that it has been so long, North Korea should have its own bronze industry." ”

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he looked up the Empire era rankings. "Oh, yes, it shows that there are tens of thousands of Korean players who have entered the Bronze Age, and they will definitely be able to produce their own bronzes. But I can assure you that their production is not too high, otherwise they would not be eager to import from outside. It's strange why all we see along the way are soldiers carrying stone tools? ”

Qin Xiaobai shrugged and said: "It should have something to do with the Korean War, the main combat army of the North Korean players is not here, but in the area of the 38th parallel of the DPRK and South Korea." If there are bronze weapons, they will definitely be used in the area of the 38th parallel. ”

After visiting the market at the port and checking the trade in Nampo, the group returned to the merchant ship. At this time, a large number of goods of Zhoushui's fleet had been unloaded, and a large amount of copper ore and high-value seafood were exchanged for a large amount of copper ore and high-value seafood from the hands of the North Korean players.

Qin Xiaobai took a look at the list of transactions.

Items sold include:

Light leather armor: 10,000 pairs. Warbow: 5,000 pairs. Bronze arrows: 10,000 pots, 200,000 pieces. Red medicine: 200,000 tablets of +10hp red medicine.

Qin Xiaobai frowned slightly, the military supplies sold could probably equip a 5,000-strong archer regiment and a 10,000-strong infantry regiment. It's a little too little, do North Korean players just need such a little thing? He couldn't help asking, "How many cargo ships have been sold in total?" ”

The commercial person in charge of the fleet hurriedly said: "Little white boss, we have sold a total of 5 cargo ships. What we exchanged with them was the equivalent of copper ore and seafood. I advised him to buy more, but he said that it would be enough to only need so much. ”

Qin Xiaobai nodded and said, "You go and bring that North Korean player, and I'll talk to him." ”

The commercial leader of the fleet immediately got off the ship, found the leader of the player organization in Nampo, and invited him to the ship.

Qin Xiaobai smiled: "Hello, I'm Xiaobai." The leader of the Bohai Fleet is also the leader of this fleet. ”

The North Korean player leader was surprised: "Hello, I'm Li Jinshu. The leader of the Nanpu Walled City. Are you the leader of the Bohai Fleet? It's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled: "I took the liberty of inviting you here." I would like to ask if you need more cargo, our fleet does not come to the port of Nampo very often. If you miss the opportunity. I don't know when I'll come back next time. ”

Li Jinshu shook his head and said, "Of course I need a lot of goods. It's just that your items are too expensive to sell. Plus, just buying these goods almost emptied my warehouse, and I didn't have any more items to trade. A Nampo walled city, it is enough to buy these supplies, and it is impossible to consume more goods. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled: "Oh, of course, one Nanpu can't use too many goods, so what about the whole of North Korea?" I sell it to you, and you sell it to the whole of North Korea. I don't believe that the whole of North Korea will run out of goods that I have brought. ”

"The whole of North Korea?"

Li Jinshu was stunned for a moment and was silent. The whole of North Korea can naturally consume so much cargo, but the question is. North Korea as a whole is not up to him. He wants to sell, but others may not want to buy it.

Qin Xiaobai said: "Whether it is for South Korean players or Japanese players, the whole of North Korea needs a large number of military supplies. I'll sell it to you. You sell it all over North Korea. Raw materials from all over Korea converge to Nampo, and you use them to continue trading with me. Nampo is sure to become the most prosperous port in North Korea. I guess it's definitely good for you. ”

Li Jinshu thought for a while, of course this was beneficial to him. He just had his own concerns, saying, "There are dozens of walled cities in the whole of North Korea. But controlled by a different collar. If I hoard too much goods and I can't sell them, or sell the land very cheaply, it will be terrible, and the losses will be so great that I won't even be able to keep the Nanpu Walled City. ”

Qin Xiaobai groaned and said with a smile: "Brother Li." Is there a war going on the border between the two Koreas? ”

Li Jinshu didn't know why. He replied, "Not bad." ”

Qin Xiaobai said again: "I'll give you a piece of high-value military intelligence for free, two days later." The Qingdao fleet was to transport hundreds of ships of high-grade military cargo to the South Korean players to help them fight against the Japanese players. If, I mean, the South Korean players come up with a small part of it, ten cargo ships, to fight you, what do you think will happen? All of them were of the highest grade, all of them were products of the Bronze Age, not any of them from the Stone Age. From battleships, to red medicine, everything is included. ”

Li Jinshu was shocked, "100 cargo ships? How can there be so much? That is at least capable of equipping more than 100,000 troops. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled: "Yes, and this is only the first batch, and there will continue to be many batches of goods in the future." If you want to fight with Japanese players, these supplies are actually quite small. The Qingdao fleet sold this large amount of land supplies to South Korean players, and the original intention was naturally kind. But no one knows whether these supplies will be used on the border between North and South Korea. Don't tell me that the South Korean players don't want to unify you, and if the war on the border between the two Koreas becomes tight, even if I have the heart to help, I'm afraid I may not have time to sell you the goods! In the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, except for me, there is no second company that will do this business with you. ”

A glint flashed in Li Jinshu's eyes, "Oh, there's no second one?" What do you mean by that? ”

Qin Xiaobai looked at him and said with a smile: "Liaodong Lushun is the center, north of Weihai in Shandong, all the places that can be navigated are the territory of the Bohai Fleet, there are seven or eight hundred regular ships, and there are more than 100,000 naval non-commissioned officers. Without the permission of the Bohai Fleet, no one could go by sea to the port of Nampo or anywhere on the west coast of Korea, whether it was the Tsingtao Fleet, the South Korean Fleet, or the Japanese fleet. Even the Qingdao fleet can only trade with the South Koreans, not with you North Koreans. "Although Qin Xiaobai slightly exaggerated the number of ships and soldiers of the Bohai Fleet, no fleet dared to come to the Bohai Sea casually, this is an iron fact.

Li Jinshu was shocked and looked at Qin Xiaobai incredulously. He originally thought that the Bohai Fleet meant that it came from the Bohai Sea, but now he understands the weight of the four words "Bohai Fleet", and directly named it after the sea area, because it dominates the entire Bohai Sea and has the qualifications to formulate the Bohai Sea order.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, he was doing business with the strongest player organization in the northern seas of China, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised: "If you can get the other fleets to do business in other parts of North Korea and only come to Nampo to sell to me, then I will do this exclusive business with you." I can triple the amount of purchases, transport them to all parts of North Korea for sale, and when I have enough capital, I will buy more goods from you, and it will be a long-term deal. ”

"I can only guarantee the west coast of North Korea now, and I am the only one doing business with you. As for the east coast of Korea, it is not yet the sphere of activity of our Bohai Fleet. If you agree, then we have a great time working together! ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled and stretched out his hand.

Li Jinshu immediately stretched out his hand, "The West Coast is enough, happy cooperation!" ”

The player leaders of the Zhoushui fleet and the North Korean player leaders of Nampo all laughed out loud at this cooperation. Once the first deal has been made, both parties will continue to reap the benefits of subsequent transactions.

The Zhou Shui fleet unloaded more cargo and sold it to Li Jinshu, a North Korean player in the Nampo Walled City. A total of 20 brigs carried military supplies, and it is perfectly fine to equip 40,000 or 50,000 troops for a big battle. In exchange, almost all the raw materials accumulated from the long-term operation of tens of thousands of people in the entire Nanpu Walled City were emptied. Lee Kim Seo mobilized almost all the North Korean players in the Nampo Walled City to take out the raw materials and use them to pay for this huge deal. These cheap raw materials were loaded onto last week's water cargo ship and then transported directly back to the Tanggukou base.

Almost all the North Korean players in the entire Nanpo Walled City were in a frenzy of excitement, and this huge transaction meant that the Nanpo Walled City had an unprecedentedly strong force and unprecedentedly strong financial resources. At the very least, the Nanpu Walled City suddenly gained a military and financial advantage that other Walled Cities could not obtain.

The remaining merchant ships of the Zhou Shui fleet slowly left the Nampo treaty port of North Korea, and after making a small bay, they headed for South Korea-South Korea.
