The master asked Li Wei's question. Now he was a little panicked and helpless. If this matter is in Africa, then I'll just forget it if I've been through it. After all, it's a problem for how long it will last. If this matter is born in America, the same principle applies.
But the problem is that she is not in Africa, which does not even have the concept of a country, but in Asia with local regimes. What's even more terrifying is that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce came with her this time.
If this matter is only born on an individual, then Lilu may lose a partner forever and lose a dumping point that takes several years to stabilize, and her career will be defeated a few years ago. The forces in the Far East will be defeated back to the origin and will continue for a long time when they are still standing still. After all, Kyushu Hirado and Gyeonggi Port are all Portuguese Catholic forces. She, a Protestant Dutch, will definitely be excluded and suppressed, or even be o'clock by the local lord of the weird Catholic Church.
What's more, this time she was the commissioner and supervisor of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce! In front of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, she said that she had obtained the distribution rights of a piece of gold-producing territory in the "Gold Country". She also explained that the "Gold Country" was fighting a civil war, and the territory she invested in was covering half of the most gold-producing Japan! Apart from the king, the strongest man
.
Most importantly, she said that she could even open the door of business that was closed in the hearts of Europeans through Japan!
The Agisterdam Chamber of Commerce presided over a series of affairs at home and abroad at home and abroad. Looking at the trade invitation letters and lots of gold brought back by Lilu, this group of people couldn't help but believe it. Who wouldn't be moved by staring at the gold with dark eyes? Considering that the Netherlands is an emerging country. Although it has autonomous and has its own army, even independence has not been officially announced now! Overseas colonies and markets are urgently needed to compete with old colonial countries. Portugal and Spain have already appeared in Japan and do business with it. However, the fierce door has been unable to be opened, and at most it can only be smuggled on a small scale in the southeast coast. The silk, porcelain, tea and exquisite luxury goods made the whole Europe crazy.
My mind was hot. The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce appointed Lilu as the business envoy. Since the route from the Netherlands to Echigo was also "invented", Lilu naturally possessed the priority of the route. At that time, Europe's privilege for the emergence of the route.
He patted his chest and promised that he would definitely bring the good news from Japan back to Amsterdam. Lilu came to Japan and the first thing he did was to be tempted by one hundred taels of gold and smuggle a hundred kilograms of gunpowder.
If investigated and punished now, it will not only affect one's reputation and destroy the friendship with Japan. If the other party is really saying that he has also participated in a firearm case by the enemy,
The matter is very big! Lilu has heard a lot about the local lords banning trade: they detain cargo merchant ships and throw them to sea to fend for their own term. They are not gentle and they are directly dismantled by eight pieces. They seem to be breach of contract first, and the latter may be most likely.
Whether this time, if the commission of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce fails or the dumping location in East Asia is lost, Lilu can say goodbye to her career. So, Lilu must not let it live in such a thing!
Liluo's great crisis!
"Middleman. This, please listen to my explanation! You must not do this!" While hinting to Li Huamei, she asked her to come and save herself quickly, she became more raspy when she was not very proficient in Chinese. She shook her arms and wanted to explain her panic and cooperating with the other party's expression that seemed to be crying. Li Wei even felt that she had done a little too much?
"Middle man, I think you'd better make it clear." Li Huamei seemed to be unable to see anymore. She had been in contact with Li Wei for a while, and she also learned some questions about Li Wei's personality from Ayaji and Uesugi. The most important thing is that when she was talking about business with Li Wei in the past, especially when she shamelessly asked for artillery from her hands last time, Li Wei's expression seemed to have appeared.
"Stop bullying Lilu anymore. If you have any conditions, please say it quickly. I believe Lilu will agree to you."
"Admiral Li! We are talking about a very serious diplomatic issue." Li Wei's treacherous plot was seen through and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry. He immediately put his expression seriously and said nothing about it: "Paiqigang was almost blown to the sky! The Shangshan family suffered countless losses! Admiral Li, how could you speak like this?"
"Oh?" After staring at Li Wei for a long time, Li Huamei was surprised to find that the other party seemed to be really angry. In fact, she was just angry. However, this made her a little confused about what Li Wei wanted to do.
"But then again." Li Wei finally found a step, and of course he couldn't just throw it away. This is one of the reasons why he brought Li Huamei here: "Lilu, you said it just now. The friendship between the people of Japan and the Netherlands has a long history, and the mutual benefit between Europe and Asia is a win-win outcome. Besides, the friendship between Lilu and I can probably resolve this battle. I didn't want to make this big deal, so I see that Lilu has a lot of artillery on your ship."
Yes, this time the Dutch Chamber of Commerce sent two armed frigates, three-masted Spanish-style large
.
"Yes" Seeing Li Wei's angry look suddenly turning 180 degrees, Lilu couldn't help but secretly destroy herself: Why did she be so careless? This is clearly what she came to carry.
But I was held in my hand, and I did ask for it. Although I knew that the other party was not kind, I could only follow the other party into the entire set step by step.
“Then Lilu.
The wise man doesn’t say secret words. If you are willing to compensate the Uesugi family, we can expose this unpleasant thing. After all, those with vision see the future!”
Only, the master of the middle-aged man." Lilu looked like she suddenly realized her mind, and then she pouted with a little awkwardness, "You are so too much! How can you tease me like this?"
"I'm doing business." The feeling of scaring the child was good. It seems that such scenes are rare for women. After all, there are very few soft persimmons around him.
"Okay," sat on his desk weakly, as if he had tried all his strength. The feeling of vigor just now was left in Java, and sighed: "I am willing to help your lord. How do you need to help you? "Those armed abandoned ships are itchy when they are watching." Li Wei was honest, not lying at all. The olive in his eyes testified: "Yeah" How many cannons are there?"
"??" Lilu, who knew something about Li Wei's fondness, didn't know how much appetite the other party had, so she looked surprised and said: "This" is about twenty or so, and they are all small cannons of small caliber. These are all merchant ships. Multiplied by five, these merchant ships can fight.
"Twenty Doors" How about giving me a few Doors? Just treat it as a fine." If you give it to me, it would be even better.
"No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible for Master Zhongren." Lilu shook her head with her hands in a resolute look, and the dazed hair on her head made Li Wei dizzy: "Let's not talk about the most important thing for our maritime merchants is to defend themselves. If you give it, it will pose too much threat to us! Let's talk about the supervisors of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands who followed me, what do they do? Will I sell this kind of thing to your country?"
Uncivilized? Not your sister, you goth loli!
"Miss Gothico Box." Li Wei smiled and tilted his head, shook the pack of gunpowder in his hand, and his tone became softer again.
"??That", Master Zhongren, my name is Lilu, Agoth,"
A weak reminder of Li Wei, but Lilu's words were immediately interrupted.
"Miss Goth Loli I know, I usually like little girls who are ungrateful.
"???Little girl?" Lilu was upset. What she hated the most over the years was that others looked down on her.
, I thought she would be angry because she was "unfair". Li Wei thought to herself, but she didn't expect that the reason for the other party's anger was the last three words.
"I am not asking you to sell it to me now, but asking you to compensate me." Li Wei said: "If I solemnly negotiate with your country and block your country's shops, at worst I will go to do business with the Portuguese. By the way, I will be promoted in the past few months when you are not in Japan and will be fully responsible for the intelligence department. I will definitely find qualified evidence, testimony, witnesses and evidence to send to your chamber of commerce."
After hearing Li Wei's words, Lilu showed a little panic. Then the gap was wider and wider by her own random thoughts: "Mid-in-Central Master, you" you can't do this, this is unfair
Looking at Lilu's panic, her white little face turned pale, and even her clenched lips became bloodless. Her slightly trembling body and a little, and her crying voice made Li Wei completely realize one of her thoughts:
I am indeed doing something that is unreasonable. Why do you bully loli for fun?
So he immediately gave Li Huamei a wink and asked her to give herself another step. Unexpectedly, Li Huamei pretended not to see it. Her slightly frowned and smiled expression showed that this woman was actually having a quarrel.
Only, I..." Governor Li, please help me?
"Hmph!" Although Li Wei was very unhappy in his heart, who told me that he could not serve the cannon in time, which caused Lilu to be so bad? Besides, Lilu should not be too disadvantaged. Standing from the perspective of a woman.
"Lilu, listen to me. Don't you have twenty cannons?" Li Huamei patted Lilu on the shoulder and said "twenty gates". However, people who know how to use their knowledge can tell that a boat is about twenty gates at a glance! "Just pick a small one and give it to the middle-aged man. As far as I know, it doesn't take much to cast a small caliber cannon. It's at least much less than three hundred taels of gold."
"But" But" Lilu also felt that Li Huamei seemed to notice her little conspiracy, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Although I have it, the supervisor,"
"That's a problem." Li Huamei touched her smooth chin with a thoughtful look, and then said, "Let's do it, just say that a cannon fell into the water. You can get rid of the middle-aged man when you salvage work. I will throw the cannons that were scrapped from my fleet last time into the sea. I have something now."
Speaking of his sadness, Li Huamei also subconsciously looked at Li Weiyi
That's right, Li Huamei's judgment error in the last time she set sail was more or less related to Li Wei. She set sail rashly without fully judging the direction of the wind and weather. On the way back to China, she encountered a storm and wanted to survive instead of returning to Japan to take refuge. There was also a big factor in seeing Li Wei again.
"Then" OK." Lilu finally made up her mind: "Mr. Zhongren, you are such a big bad guy!" Tomorrow, you will send a carriage to get the "things."
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow won't work." Li Wei shook her head, thinking that she was always stuck by Lilu's good guys and was used to it: "Tomorrow, there will be a big fire. Remember, don't run around casually, otherwise it will affect the fish pond."
"????Chinese, what do you mean?" Li Huamei opened her little mouth slightly in surprise and asked in surprise.
"Ah? Didn't I say that? There will be an enemy force secretly setting fire tomorrow."
"I know this, what I don't know is why you still have to do this even though you know it?"
"If you know this, how can I make a living? I'll secretly remind you one step." Li Wei was in a good mood and immediately felt three pounds lighter, and he stretched his head and leaned against Li Huamei's ear.
He could even smell the streams of his daughter Xiangen. No matter what he said, he should not ignore that Li Huamei is also a woman. And "he is still a beauty."
He blocked Li Huamei's ear with his hands. Li Wei deliberately said softly: "It has something to do with Chu Bai."
A trace of heat hit her ears. Li Huamei had never been treated like this since she could remember. She had already started to take over the mess left by her father before she had never been able to. Most of the time, she was greeted by "Yichuan Ming," which was similar to the last shipwreck.
.
So in less than three seconds, Li Huamei's ears were already red. However, before she lost her mind and gave Li Wei a hard sword, she heard two words that Li Wei said.
"Chu Bai?"
Chu Bai, it can be said that he saved Li Wei's life.
