"Oh, you're underestimating our Mixed Yuan Sect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Our Mixed Yuan Sect has fewer inner disciples, just me, but there are many outer disciples, there are hundreds of them.

I'm going back to Yarrow Bay, and it's not hard to get hundreds of people. Li Xian explained.

Lin Pingzhi remembered that Leizhou Yaluo Bay was almost a foreign place, and if someone really pulled up a team of hundreds of people to occupy a certain island, there would be no one in the official government to meddle in three or five years, so he nodded and no longer this inexplicable heart.

In addition to these big-headed weapons, Li Xian also had some bits and pieces to buy, such as gunpowder (100 catties and 15 yuan, very cheap), grenades, some spare parts and the like.

After that, Li Xian also ordered a whaling cannon from Martin for the whaling ship.

It is also a tear to say, whaling in the West at this time has evolved from the previous harpoon throwing to the use of whaling cannons, the convenience and safety of whaling have been greatly improved, and the fishermen in Yaluo Bay still use the traditional method of hook whaling, and every time they go to sea, they have to fight face to face with whales.

This whaling cannon is rare in China, but it is not a rare thing, and Martin immediately patted his chest and agreed, for him it was nothing more than to find some merchant captains to bring a few on his next visit to China.

In the end, Martin also took out a lot of British and American science and technology books for Li Xian to read.

It turned out that Li Xian had agreed with Martin before that if there were any good books on military science and technology, he would pay attention to them, and he also specifically pointed out that he should pay attention to the British Infantry Regulations, Artillery Regulations, Navy Regulations, Encyclopedia Britannica, physical and chemical textbooks, etc.

These things are not contraband, they are not banned in both countries, but very few people will buy books on this subject, and it is not difficult to buy them as long as you keep an eye on them.

Martin took out hundreds of books, including many novels, biographies, and poetry collections, and only about sixty books on science and military science.

However, there were also many fine products in these things, including training books on artillery, infantry, cavalry, engineers, and navy, as well as books on more advanced natural sciences, and Li Xian paid for them all.

Martin didn't like the money from selling books, so he intended to give it away for free to improve customer loyalty or something, but Li Xian still insisted on giving money according to the book, so that Martin could be more attentive when collecting books in the future.

Li Xian can take these books directly, but the contraband of firearms and gunpowder will have to go through some special channels.

In terms of how to transport contraband, Lin Pingzhi is a family scholar, and he is an expert in this area, and it is impossible for all the dart bureau to do normal goods, otherwise he would not have taken on any hidden business, and almost wiped out his entire clan.

Martin and Lin Pingzhi discussed the route of transportation, Lin Pingzhi said which way to go, which gang to send to transport, etc., all in place and professional, so that Martin nodded frequently, and he felt that if there was such an expert to cooperate with him, his business could expand by at least thirty percent.

After the discussion is settled, Li Xian and Lin Pingzhi will pay a deposit of 30%, and the rest of the money will be given to Martin in batches according to the situation.

Martin carefully checked the silver ticket and confirmed that it was correct, and then he clenched his fist and said that everything was on him, and he would make sure that everything was done properly.

Li Xian and the other four people left the warehouse, went out and went back to the street after turning around.

Along the way, Wang Jiuxuan and Pan Wu were thoughtful and didn't speak.

Pan Wu really saw the contraband business on the underworld and participated in it, and he was very shocked, and he felt that today was really not in vain.

Although with the wealth of the Pan family, this kind of underworld business must have been done, even more than today, but as the fifth young master of the Pan family, he has never had the opportunity to participate in this kind of business.

This kind of thing, in the big family, is managed by the heir of the most descendant line, or it is not a pity to die cannon fodder-level distant relatives are under the jurisdiction, but it will not let a young master like him who is not up or down get involved.

As for Wang Jiuxuan, he didn't speak, but because his heart was really shaken.

When he arrived at the intersection and sent Pan Wu away, Wang Jiuxuan asked about Li Xianlai.

"I see that there are hundreds of firecrackers hidden in the old horse's warehouse, how can there be so many firecrackers?"

"This starts with the national situation. For example, we banned firearms in the Qing Dynasty, but overseas countries actually don't ban them much.

Like the United States, where the land is vast and often invaded by natives, it is possible to have tens of millions of firearms in a population of 20 million. "Li Xian intends to expand the number of guns in the United States.

"Tens of millions of firearms, if that's the case, wouldn't the United States be the most powerful country in the world?" Wang Jiuxuan gasped.

The power of the firearm used by Li Xian, he has also seen it, although ordinary people get firearms, it may not make Li Xian so good, but as long as it exerts a little bit of power, it is extremely powerful.

"The world's number one power, it is not the turn of the United States to do it. Just a dozen years ago, Britain had a feud with the United States, sent troops over, and burned down people's palaces.

Therefore, if there is a superpower in our world, it has to be the United Kingdom. Li Xian explained.

Wang Jiuxuan's face changed, and he hurried away silently, and only sighed after a while.

"I thought it would not be difficult to convince a British consul, just come and say it, but I didn't expect to become an arrogant person who sits in the well and watches the sky.

Li Xian, do you feel particularly ridiculous when you look at me??"

"How come?" Li Xian became serious, and said word by word: "You have actually done very well today, and it is very correct, and the more you know about Britain in the future, you will understand how good you are doing."

We have been closed off for too long, and we don't know the situation in the world as well as we did in the Ming Dynasty. But it's not a big deal, as long as we work hard, we can get the dignity we deserve.

In the future, when I have time, I will introduce you to a few books that explain the situation in the world, and after reading them, you will find that there is still a vast world in our foreign country, waiting for us to conquer and explore.

A mere Qing court should only be our stepping stone, not our destination. ”

Seeing that Li Xian said solemnly, Wang Jiuxuan and Lin Pingzhi nodded unconsciously, vaguely feeling that a new world was about to unfold in front of them.

Over the next few days, all three continued to get busy.

First of all, I had to meet with some underworld and white gangs in Guangzhou, and asked someone to secretly transport Martin's goods to the Fuwei Dart Bureau through various channels, but fortunately, many gangs have been doing this for hundreds of years, and the Lin family is particularly familiar with this way, and there is nothing wrong in the middle.
