Chapter 163: Trading
"Haha. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gan Ning smiled and smiled, his face sank, and the strength in his hand increased a few points.
"My life and death are only in my hands, how can you control them?"
Lin Ran felt a strong feeling of suffocation coming from Gan Ning's grip on the neck, knowing that as long as the other party tried harder, he was afraid that his body and head would be separated.
Lin Ran took out a letter from his backpack and said, "In addition to offending the imperial court, do you also want to be an enemy of the great sages and good teachers?" Then I'm afraid that no matter who wins the power in the future, your Excellency's fate will not be very good! ”
"Great sages?" Gan Ning snatched the envelope from Lin Ran's hand and opened the envelope.
"What is the mouth of the village chief Xiaobai, what is it today, the people are not ......" Gan Ning Douda didn't know a basket of words, and he didn't understand what was written on it after reading it for a long time.
Lin Ran was speechless, the military general in front of his feelings was still half illiterate.
"What do you see on this letter?" Gan Ning was a little embarrassed and called a few water thieves behind him.
Those people are all well-limbed and simple-minded, and they don't know as many words as Gan Ning, so they can only look at the squares on the paper and shake their heads.
"Big brother, this kid is probably afraid of death, so he will take something to fool us. If you want me to say, no matter how much he is, he can be killed directly. A water thief said.
The other two thieves nodded approvingly.
Lin Ran was speechless and smiled bitterly, originally thinking that his plan was seamless, and took out Zhang Jiao's letter inviting him to join the Yellow Turban camp, which could deter this group of water thieves with the prestige of the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao. I didn't expect to meet a group of illiterate people, which is exactly what makes people laugh bitterly.
Still in Gan Ning compared to the group of water thieves under his hands, he thought much more.
Although he hasn't read for a few days, this does not mean that he is a stupid person, on the contrary, Gan Ning is a very smart person, and he clearly knows that now the Han court is struggling to deal with the Yellow Turban Uprising and is unable to deal with himself, so he is able to run rampant in this river and lake.
But if he offends the Zhang Jiao camp again, then whether the court camp wins or the Yellow Turban camp wins, he will not be able to please him, and it will be difficult for him to have a place to live in this vast world.
"Then tell me, what did the great sage and good teacher say in the letter? Read the words in the letter one by one, and don't play tricks on me. Gan Ning said to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran coughed deliberately, and pointed to his collar and neck: "You grabbed me like this, how can I read it to you?" I couldn't even breathe. ”
"Hmph." Gan Ning put Lin Ran down, Lin Ran tidied up his clothes, and then read lazily.
"It was the head of Xiaobai Village who started it personally, and when he was tired today, the people were struggling to make a living..... I inherit the will of the people of the world and the heart of heaven, and should overthrow this decadent and chaotic world and give peace and prosperity to all the people.
Within the four seas, everyone is a brother, the door is safe, and there is no disturbance from corrupt officials and harsh officials.....
I hope that the village chief of Xiaobai will join my Yellow Turban disciples as soon as possible and make a life for all the people in the world. ”
After Lin Ran finished reading, it was a little interesting to see Gan Ning, who had always been decisive in killing, listening carefully.
"The great sage and good teacher really deserve the name of the people spread far and wide, and he has established a life for all the people in the world, heh, there are too few such people in this world now."
"How?" Lin Ran raised his eyebrows, "It's hard to understand that Your Excellency wants to join the Great Sage and Mentor and join the Yellow Turban Army's camp?" ”
It would be really interesting if in this way, the Yellow Turban Army added another fierce general for its own reasons, but I don't know if this will change the fate of the Yellow Turban Army's final defeat.
"It seems that you kid has really joined the Yellow Turban camp, and now you will start pulling people for the great sage and good teacher." Gan Ning shook his head and said, "I have always been free, I don't want to be restrained by others, and I don't want to get involved in the battle between the imperial court and the Yellow Turban." ”
Gan Ning paused for a moment, and then said: "Since you are the apprentice of the Great Sage and Good Master, then forget it this time." ”
Lin Ran was overjoyed, sure enough, through more than ten years of painstaking management, the great sage and good teacher had a deep influence among the lower-class people, and even a water thief like Gan Ning didn't want to offend him.
"However, I have lost so many brothers this time, and how many warships have been damaged by you, how should this be calculated?" Gan Ning changed his words and asked.
Lin Ran thought for a moment and replied, "This time it's a misunderstanding, Xingba, you have lost so many people, but the number of dead and injured people in me is more than several times that of you, right?" Lin Ran looked at the destroyed yachts of the Little White Army around the walk, and the corpses lying horizontally.
Gan Ning also looked around, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't talk about this matter, so what about our warship?" It's all been damaged by you. ”
As a water thief with a high style, Gan Ning has always pursued an extravagant and wasteful attitude to life, and now these warships under his command are all in tatters, and the ships are full of big pits left by bluestones and small fist-sized holes left by pebbles, and many warships are swarthy and swarthy from burning oil, which is really unacceptable to him.
"So be it." Lin Ran had an idea and said, "Why don't you sell these damaged boats to me, and I will buy them together." You can also use the money to buy some new ships in the future. ”
"Sold to you? That's fine, anyway, I don't want to use these boats in the future, so let's do it, I won't take advantage of you, and I'll sell these boats to you as cheap. How about a boat that goes 30 times? ”
Lin Ran silently calculated in his heart, the dock in Xiaobai Village now costs almost thirty times to make a boat, and the cost of buying these damaged boats will increase some costs, because it looks like a bit of a loss because it needs to be repaired and repaired.
But the production process of one boat is cumbersome and protracted, and at the current production rate, it will take at least three or four months for twenty ships to be produced.
In this way, a lot of time and costs can be saved, and the naval army of Xiaobai Village can also immediately add twenty new powerful boats, and the strength will immediately increase at least double, but it is a cost-effective thing.
Lin Ran naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, but after another bit of bargaining, he lowered the price of each ship to twenty-five times.
The deal was reached, and Gan Ning was holding a heavy five hundred copper coins in his hand, happy in his heart, and his attitude towards Lin Ran was a little better.
"Xiaobai, next time you pass by these rivers, tell me, I will greet the water thieves in Yangzhou to ensure that you are unimpeded."
Lin Ran's face twitched, with the strength of the Xiaobai Village Water Army, which water thief in Yangzhou dared to provoke it?
It's only Gan Ning's group. (To be continued.) )
