Chapter 40 Spanish Fleet (Central)

"Wu, Wu. The dishes from the Great Wu Empire are so wonderful." John and the others swept away all the dishes. They burped and said, "It's delicious, delicious, several times better than the food I've eaten in the French court."

I said, "Mong people aren't you?" The French court will entertain you a small fleet commander?"

However, although I thought so, I would not let it go. I laughed and said, "Commander John, if you like it, I can order some more food for you."

John swallowed, and then shook his head again, "No need, Wu. We have already eaten very much and can't eat anymore. By the way, I asked a presumptuous question. How much does a table of food cost?"

Hehe, that kid was indirectly asking about the price level of Da Wu. I pretended to be a light look and said as if nothing happened: "It's not a lot of money, it's about the value of 100 kilograms of silver!"

"One, one hundred kilograms of silver?" John was stunned on the spot, almost spitting out his tongue, and said in shock: "Wu, don't scare me. One hundred kilograms of silver can buy a heavy cannon. Why does a meal cost so much?"

"It's not expensive," I shook the folding fan and pointed to the dishes and asked, "Is this dish delicious? This is the food made by taking the tenderest piece of meat on its face. Don't underestimate this dish, which uses nearly 300 fresh black fish."

John said in amazement: "What about the remaining black fish? Can't it be sold for money?"

I deliberately showed a strange look and looked at him and said, "Commander John, you were probably a civilian, right? The remaining black fish were naturally thrown away, so why not keep them?"

John said seriously: "Wu, I am a real nobleman, the eldest son of the Donalds family, and he has the title of the Imperial Knight."

"Oh." I looked at him pitifully, shook my head and smiled, "The living standards of the nobles in your country are really not very good. Look at this dish, is it delicious? This dish is called cherry. I used nearly a thousand precious canaries and took the tip of the tongue to make a dish."

Needless to ask, those canaries were thrown away. John was influenced by my pity and his face turned red. He never expected that the people of the Great Wu Empire would be more particular than their kings.

Of course, I just cheated him. Although the dishes are expensive, they are not as exaggerated as I said. The remaining ingredients are of course of other uses. I would like to say that, so I would really lower their arrogance.

As the saying goes, "Watching with warmth"*. These Spanish red-haired monkeys naturally need to solve their physiological problems urgently. At this moment, Sanniang specially arranged a erotic dance to appear.

Amid the beautiful sounds of silk and bamboo, the dancers danced one by one. Under the red candlelight, their white figures appeared and disappeared. However, from beginning to end, they kept the gauze on their body.

The red-haired monkeys have no time to appreciate the art of dance. They stared at the shameful places of the dancers. If it weren't for my affection and the fear of causing trouble, I would have pounced on it long ago and showed a desire for a beast.

"Wu, didn't you just say to help us arrange women?" John gasped, staring at the dancer, and illuminating.

I smiled and patted his shoulder: "What are you worried about? Such a long night, you have to enjoy it slowly. As for women, I have already arranged it for you. Now, I am probably on the way here, and I am sure that it is many times better than these goods."

Only when John heard this from me did John know how to take back his eyes. He calmed down and smiled at me embarrassedly: "Wu, I'm sorry. We brothers have been staying on the sea for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay." I shook the folding fan and said, "Commander John, what are you doing for the Great Wu Dynasty?"

John replied without a doubt: "There was a Marco Polo man who had been in this land for many years. After he returned to us, he published a book called Marco Polo's Travels. This book is widely circulated in our hometown. The book describes the East as heaven, with gold and silver everywhere. Therefore, the people in our place were crazy and tried every means to come to the East. However, the pagan Muslims who controlled the Silk Road refused to let us come. Therefore, we could only find a way out from the sea. God blessed us, and finally found a sea road to the East."

I was shocked, as if I remember that the first one to reach the East was the Portuguese? Why have I become a Spanish now? However, this world is not the same as mine. Some things are the same, and some things are different.

"Commander John, are you satisfied with this East?" I said with a smile.

John sighed: "There are places of satisfaction and places of disappointment. Looking at the life here, it is indeed like heaven. But it is not as Marco Polo said, and gold and silver are everywhere."

"Haha." I laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "John, John, you are so cute. The Great Wu Dynasty is indeed full of gold and silver, but it depends on how you make money."

When John heard my words, he was immediately excited: "Wu, what do you mean? Do you have any way to make money?"

I shook the folding fan, showed a proud look, and said calmly: "John, do you know who is the richest among the 40 to 50 million people in the Great Wu Empire?"

John shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"I am the richest person." I didn't keep it a secret, hehe, "Even the king here is not as rich as me."

John's eyes suddenly stood up as if he had discovered a treasure: "Wu, are you talking about it true?"

"Of course it's true. I own ten million kilograms of silver." I said with an eloquence.

"Ten million kilograms of silver, oh, my God. Is there nothing wrong with my ears?" John held his head with an incredible look on his face.

"John, do you want to get rich?" I laughed and said, "If you have money, everyone will make money together."

John nodded quickly: "Wu, who doesn't want to make a fortune? We risked our sailing, isn't it just to make a fortune?"

I smiled faintly again and said, "It is naturally a good thing to want to get rich. However, it is not okay to have some sincerity to get rich."

John nodded quickly and said seriously: "I am willing to make friends with Wu and become good brothers. Nothing will be hidden from you."

Then I said satisfied: "Since that's the case, then John, what cargo is there on your ship?"

John thought for a moment and said, "Wu, this time we are here to take risks. We did not load our goods from Spain, and there were almost no other goods except for many muskets and artillery."

I was delighted, but my face seemed embarrassed. I sighed lightly, "I see that your cannons have no caliber or length, and their power will not be too great. I can't sell any good prices. I haven't seen the musket yet, and I'm not particularly clear."

When John just arrived at our place, he was confused by me. He didn't know that there was not even a bird gun for shooting birds on our side. Not to mention advanced artillery and other artifacts. In this way, John hurriedly asked the guard to ask for a long-distance musket and handed it to me respectfully.

I took my hand and carefully checked it. Mao, what kind of musket is this? It is not much different from the one in my hometown at that time. Tsk tsk, I was wrong. It is not as advanced as my hometown.

My expert fiddling with guns naturally made John believe that we also have such firearms here. I sighed softly, threw the musket back to him, and said helplessly: "John, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this kind of garbage is really unstoppable."

John suddenly became nervous: "What should we do? All our money is overwhelming on these firearms. If we can't sell them, how can we buy Dawu's specialties and take them back to Spain?"

I said, "The Love guy didn't tell the truth before?" It turned out that his original intention was to dump a batch of firearms at a high price, then buy Dawu's specialties back, so that he could make a big deal.

"Oh, in Spain, are there any specialties from Dawu sold?" I asked lightly.

John nodded immediately: "Yes, they were transported through the Silk Road. However, in recent decades, the Silk Road has completely blocked the hateful Muslims. So much so that goods such as silk, tea, porcelain, etc. are very expensive. Wu, see, can you discuss it? You lend me some money first, and after I make it, I will immediately double it and return it to you."

Of course I know those. However, borrowing money. Hehe. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "John, there was no problem with borrowing money for you. However, for the first time we cooperated, we have not reached credibility with each other. Look, this."

John suddenly became anxious again. He finally came to Da Wu. If he didn't bring back the precious goods such as tea and silk back to the warehouse, wouldn't it be a waste of time? He begged again: "Wu, I know you are a good person. How about I'll give you a shareholding? I'll share the money evenly, do you think it's okay?"

I pretended to think carefully. After a long time, I smiled bitterly and shook my head and said, "This still involves a credibility issue. If you want to fill your ship with cargo, you may need at least 200,000 kilograms of silver. This is not a small amount."

"But shipped to Spain, these goods are worth at least one million kilograms of silver." John said anxiously: "Wu, what exactly do you want to believe me?"

I thought about it for a while and then said, "Oh, John, you and I have a friend. I will eat your firearms. Although I lost my fortune, who told us to be friends?"
