Chapter 381 Commerce, Gold

Wang Jingde and Wu Yue met on the edge of the battlefield, and the clothes and outfits of the two sides were obviously different. After meeting, Wang Jingde spoke first and introduced himself. His voice was slow and his pronunciation was as clear as possible: "Wang Jingde from Anyang, the north, 80,000 miles away. He came for business."

Wang Jingde spoke first, which made the envoys of Wu and Yue unclear how to speak.

Moreover, the news that Wang Jingde revealed was a bit shocking. In the north, 80,000 miles? Where is Anyang? It doesn’t sound like the name of a country, it’s like the name of a place!

The envoy of Wu State was agile and spoke first: "This is Wu State, and friends thousands of miles away are welcome. The Grand Marshal specially sent me to invite me."

As soon as the envoy of Wu State spoke, the envoy of Yue State became anxious. Don’t say whether what “Wang Jingde” is true or false, but you must not let Wu State get in touch first. Besides, it seems that what Wang Jingde said should not be false. The demeanor that Wang Jingde expressed during his speech makes people feel a kind of trust from the heart.

Jingde's completely unfamiliar accent seems to be the best proof. Fortunately, it does not affect communication. For powerful creatures like cultivators, in addition to language, there is also spiritual consciousness - if the language is really not clear, spiritual consciousness can also be communicated, which can be regarded as direct communication of the brain.

Before the Wu envoy finished speaking, the Yue envoy immediately said: "My Yue country's business is very prosperous and we are generous to merchants. If you can come to our country, your Majesty will be very happy. From my perspective, your Majesty will definitely receive it in person."

Wang Jingde was not in a hurry, and analyzed and thought quietly. However, standing on the edge of the battlefield, Wang Jingde frowned. The smell and vision were really unbearable for normal people. In fact, it was Wang Jingde's natural reaction that made the envoys of Wu and Yue believe Wang Jingde's words - at least this reaction was not like a soldier.

But Wang Jingde was also thinking that what the envoy of Yue Kingdom said did not impress Wang Jingde at all! The merchants in Anyang met many emperors; even saying that this time, meeting the emperor was a foregone conclusion. Wang Jingde was considering how to get along with everything.

When encountering a battlefield, this is of course a good thing for arms merchants; but how to get along with each other is not an easy thing.

After thinking for a while, Wang Jingde made a decision, "If it is convenient, can he ask representatives from both countries to come on our ship for a while?"

This is to retreat into advance, turn passive into initiative, let the enemy "snipe and clam fight" and make a "fisherman benefit" by themselves. The businessmen in Anyang often encounter such a battle between the two countries; in the face of such a situation, the best way is not to insert it into it yourself, but to watch the tiger fight. And the smarter people provide a venue, scene, and environment to make the two tigers fight more intensely. Needless to say, the arms merchants in Anyang have made this move slip!

Therefore, Wang Jingde invited the envoys of the two countries. Inviting others to his own ship seemed to have a "open mind, sincere and honest" flavor, which greatly dispelled his guard.

Faced with Wang Jingde's invitation, the envoys of Wu and Yue were immediately overjoyed. But the envoys of Wu and Yue were just investigating information for the time being and were not qualified to make a decision. The two gangs glanced at the huge ship that split the waves from a distance, and quickly returned to report to the commander-in-chief. Wang Jingde was here, waiting quietly on the edge of the battlefield.

Soon, Wu Daqian and Yu Ai, the naval commanders of Wu and Yue, flew over in person. When they approached, they looked at each other and snorted coldly at the same time.

Wang Jingde was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly, and even watching the two of them with a smile; he only sent an invitation when they came to him; he flew towards the giant steel ship behind him together.

After watching the white "big ship" up close, Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian gradually felt shocked. This ship is not only huge, but also has a slender, beautiful and powerful design. The most important thing is that all the equipment on it is completely unfamiliar, and there is no crossbow bed, only strange round tubes.

The group quickly approached the giant steel ship, and the flags flying above the ship became more and more conspicuous; and the two huge fonts of the outer shell of the large steel ship, "Anyang", showed the origin of the ship.

As the distance got closer, Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian looked at each other again, and both saw the surprise in their eyes. This strange ship was not only huge, but also could not see the traces of wooden board splicing, the existence of oars, the sails, or any conventional things.

The huge ship was still motionless in the sea, not like a ship floating on the water, but like a mountain. Seeing this ship, several words immediately popped up in my mind - solid, heavy, and powerful.

But at this moment, they were visiting the door and using their spiritual sense to explore the ship was just a reckless and impolite behavior, and the two of them could only observe with their eyes.

"Please." Wang Jingde sent an invitation, and Hao Youcai also flew up to greet him on the warship.

Li Qingsong and Hong Qingxia, two masters of Nascent Soul stage, silently guarded the bow of the ship. Although they did not speak, they attracted enough attention to Wu Daqian and Yu Ai, who had not yet landed, closed their eyes.

After landing at the bow of the ship, Wu Daqian and Yu Ai were stunned again. With the feeling of falling down the soles of their feet, they immediately felt that the whole ship was covered with steel! A huge ship like a hill was built with steel!

"Please sit down. I, Deputy Commander of Anyang Navy, Hao Youcai, came to explore new business paths. I met for the first time, please forgive me if I have any trouble."

Hao Youcai did not invite people from Wu and Yue into the inside of the ship, but just placed a table on the bow deck, which was simple, simple and simple.

Wang Jingde, Xiao Zihou, and Liu Shuren sat next to Hao Youcai.

Wu Daqian, the commander of the Wu Navy, Yu Ai sat down first and briefly introduced himself. Yu Ai asked first, "Since you are doing business, will this big ship be sold under your feet?"

This is actually a bit difficult.

"Sell!" Hao Youcai agreed very simply, and then added: "But it is not possible to sell it at the moment. For such a ship sale, you may need to go to Anyang to meet our wise king in person. I do not have the right to buy and sell such a ship.

However, in Anyang, as long as there is enough gold, you can buy all publicly sold goods, including such ships, as well as various genius treasures. You can even buy the technology to make such big ships.

As long as you have enough gold!”

"Just as long as gold?" Yu Ai added first.

"Large-scale transactions, as long as gold! Small-scale transactions, there can be silver." Hao Youcai was very sure.

Wu Daqian was unwilling to be lonely, "How much gold does such a big ship cost?"

Hao Youcai didn't blink, "Empty ships, 50 million taels of gold; if all the equipment is equipped with artillery, etc., it is expected to cost 90 million taels of gold. It depends on your requirements."

"puff……"

"puff……"

Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian were stunned. Ninety million taels of gold? The annual fiscal revenue of Wu and Yue was the total amount of this.

Hao Youcai's lips curled up slightly and said to the personal soldiers beside him: "Send the order, all the artillery fire twice. The target is the desolate island in front of him."

The island in front? There is no island in front! Wu Daqian and Yu Ai looked around first. If the nearest island is, there is a desolate island more than twenty miles away in front.

But this time, Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian didn't speak. Although they didn't know what artillery was, they were very clear--the other party was trying to show their muscles!

This is true. It is necessary to come to this strange environment and show off your muscles. In this fairyland where the strong prey on the weak, the benefits without the guarantee of force are as fragile as bubbles.

The order was issued, and the soldiers began to execute the steps planned long ago. The huge engine began to roar, and the ship was pushed by a powerful force, and its speed gradually increased, splitting the oncoming waves and moving forward. Suddenly, the ship began to swing, and the "cylinder" in the eyes of the people of Wu and Yue lifted up, and the "cylinders" of all sizes pointed to the island more than twenty miles away!

The next moment, Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian felt a roar explode, as if thunder had fallen, and the ship also moved horizontally a few minutes, and balls of smoke rushed out of the "cylinder", and there seemed to be huge objects flying out.

The roar ended, but the waves began to roll, and countless waves were shaken to the sky by the giant ship.

After waiting for about seven or eight breaths, a bunch of black smoke suddenly rose into the air on the island more than twenty miles away, rocks flew and waves rolled and broken. The rocks rushed to a height of more than ten meters, and the waves spread outward with the island as the center, layer by layer, circle by circle, and continuous.

Before the sound of an explosion came from afar, the ship's second volley began, and the giant ship was still calm, with only the roar surrounding his ears. The sky collapsed and the earth seemed to be just like this.

After the second volley was launched, a huge roar came from afar.

Then, the second wave of shells fell, and another wave of rocks penetrated the air and the waves shattered. The island, which was attacked twice in a row, was actually... erased from the sea!

Shocked?! Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian, the two hostile naval commanders, looked at each other, with a silly expression. Look at each other, then look at the disappearing islands in the distance, then look at each other, then look at the distance...

Hao Youcai smiled, "Two, how about it, is this giant ship worth 90 million taels of gold? It's just two rounds of volleys. In fact, with such combat ability, we can fight continuously for a whole day."

Wu Daqian was the first to react, "General Hao Youcai, as the commander of the Wu Navy, I officially invite you to visit Wu."

Wu Daqian was excited, very excited, and extremely excited. If such a powerful big ship could buy one, or a few big steel big ships like a smaller one, Wu could easily defeat Yue!

Don’t worry about what the so-called Anyang means, or any conspiracies, please invite me first. When you reach Wu, you can’t make any waves!

However, Yu Aixian is not stupid, "General Hao Youcai, as the commander of the Yue Kingdom's naval army, I invited your delegation to visit Yue Kingdom. In addition, we are also very interested in Anyang, and our Yue Kingdom also highly respects business, and maybe we can become friends."

Hao Youcai was calm and unhurried, "Two, thank you for the invitation. But you all sent the invitation, and I don't know where to go.

Otherwise, we, Anyang, came only for trade, for gold. This time, we are more about exploring the way and bringing Anyang's unique products. If possible, we are ready to sell all the products on site and return to Anyang.

If you want to know more, you can follow our ship to Anyang and discuss with our wise king."

Yu Ai first asked, "King of Wise, is it your king?"

"Yes." Hao Youcai nodded, but continued to emphasize: "We came this time to open up new trade routes and brought Anyang's products. If possible, we will buy them from a relatively good island, and put out all the products and trade them publicly."

Wu Daqian said first: "No need to buy it. On behalf of Wu, I will give an island in Anyang as a witness to friendship. The island is about one hundred miles north. The island is fifty miles in radius and has a natural Shenzhen-Hong Kong."

Yu Ai Xian opened her mouth, but sighed helplessly. Wu Daqian has the right to give an island, but Yu Ai Xian has no such right!

Wu Daqian has the blood of the royal family of Wu Kingdom. To be precise, Wu Daqian is the cousin of the current emperor. Not to mention giving an island, there is no problem with ten desolate islands. But Yu Ai is just a "subject". If Yu Ai opens his mouth and gives an island, then Yu Ai's whole family may lose their heads. Imperial power has never been an existence that can be easily challenged.

Opportunities slipped away from Yue State, but Yu Aixian was powerless. However, he still had to make some efforts. "General Hao Youcai, the business environment of our Yue State is more free, but Wu State is more... harsh."
