Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 78

This continent is so clear that John is unwilling to move even a step.His plan to purchase some K1 fast guns and revolvers was completely disrupted by the machines in front of him.

Now, a difficult multiple-choice question is in front of him: what to buy to take home is in his best interest.

Yes, his own best interests: the interests of the poplar kingdom seem to be completely aligned with his interests at this moment.

"That... my friend... clothes, you don't need to take off your clothes..." Finally, Tang Mo stopped John from running naked.He stretched out his hand, waved it, and said, "If you collect gold coins like this, you may not even be able to collect 3000 gold coins."

As an aristocrat with a background, it is not surprising that John can have expensive rings and other gadgets on his body.

But those poor sailors, middle- and lower-level officers, it is doubtful how much valuable things they can bring with them when they go out.

Who has nothing to eat and is full, and brings his family's land deed or house deed bills with him when he goes to sea?How many soldiers have spare money to inlay a gold tooth for themselves?

"I've already taken out everything I have... the sailors, ships, gold coins on board, and even our remaining goods that I can give to you... But there are too many things I want to take away." John said somewhat Frustrated, looking at the working steam engine, his face was full of reluctance.

He really wants to take all of this away. He wants to take away all the guns here, as well as the equipment and machines that produce these guns, as well as the design drawings of these machines, and all the design parameters and material data. ...

It's a pity that at least 16 gold coins are needed to take all this away, and now that he even took off his pants, he can only scrape together 8 gold coins.

The difference was a full half, which made John feel desperate - he didn't dare to bargain, because he felt that everything in front of him was sacred and could not be desecrated by money.

This is like a local tycoon going to the United States to buy an F-35 fighter jet with money. The United States can buy him as a charity, and he has no courage to raise any objections in terms of price.

"My friend! I swear in the name of the elves, as long as you agree to let me take them away, I am willing to pay 10 gold coins! 4 months! I will come back with the money in 4 months! You can also ask for a boat I want timber, horses, medicinal materials, saltpeter, leather, sulfur...iron ore, copper ore...anything!" Almost begging, John said again with difficulty.

After he finished speaking, he solemnly promised: "I swear to you, you are my best friend, Augustine John! A friend who is worthless!"

"I understand your feelings, John. After I have developed such a great device, I know it is priceless..." Tang Mo looked down at the exquisitely crafted pocket watch. poplar trees.

Frankly speaking, this may be the most beautiful pocket watch he has ever seen, and I have to say that the aesthetics of the elves is definitely online.

As he spoke, he lifted the cover of the watch with his thumb, and the black and slender hands on the white dial were also made into a pattern wrapped around vines.

It was still walking precisely, and Tang Mo could even feel a slight vibration.It was like a living elf, breathing regularly in Tang Mo's palm.

"Nice pocket watch, I like it very much." Tang Mo raised his head with a smile, and looked at John: "I plan to buy it with 2 gold coins, what do you think?"

"..." John was taken aback for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared on his face: "Tang Mo! My friend! When you come to Yangmu Kingdom, I will take you to find the best woman! I promise you! Four months later I'll be back! Bring everything you want!"

He was so excited that he almost rushed forward to give Tang Mo a hug, but Tang Mo was not used to being hugged by men, so he took a step back quietly, leaving only an embarrassed John with his hands open.

"8 gold coins?" Tang Mo asked with a smile without any embarrassment.

"Yes! 8 gold coins! Or you can also ask for goods! Steel, copper ingots, any ore, leather wool, horse wood...anything is fine!" John retracted his hands and bagged everything, with a look in this world There is nothing I can't get.

"Then, let's go! Let's go to see the production workshop of the revolver, and then go to see what you can take away, the steam engine... production workshop! I think you will be interested in these."

"Of course! Of course I'm interested!" John nodded excitedly. He felt that today must be his lucky day.

"Come on! This way please!" Tang Mo made a gesture of invitation, and led John to the No. [-] workshop not far away.

This is the place where the bullets are produced. The cardboard shells are manufactured one by one here, and then they are neatly stacked in boxes, packaged, and then the workers push the carts to transport them to the workshop and send them to the carriage that is about to go to Northridge.

There have been almost no bandit activities in the Vicious Forest recently, so there is no need to wait for a convoy to be assembled, and two carriages can set off to directly deliver the urgently needed supplies to North Ridge.

Of course, the produced gunpowder and other materials will also be transported from North Ridge - there is almost no exchange of gold coins between the two sides, because Earl Fischelo's gold coins have almost been spent in Bunas.

"I'll sign a contract with you later, don't worry! You can't make a mistake!" John patted his chest in front of Tang Mo as if he was a drunk.

"Among the sailors, slaves and a small number of people who have signed long-term contracts can be left to you directly, but the rest can only be determined by their own wishes." He has already begun preparations, signed a contract, and his subordinates can sell All the sailors were sold to Tang Mo: "I will promise to give their families a sum of money to serve you... But if they don't want to stay, I don't have a good idea."

He is also very helpless, most of these sailors are not his private property.About one-third of the sailors were born as slaves. This part is property and can be disposed of at will. This John can be the master and sell it to Tang Mo.

But other sailors and officers, as well as the merchants on board, were not something John could throw to Tang Mo at will.He can only pay additional money to those sailors who are willing to leave their homes and stay, which is also impossible.

After looking at Tang Mo's machine, John has already made up his mind to complete the deal.So what he was thinking about now was how to go back and persuade as many sailors as possible to stay.

"Give me a copy of your chart, otherwise, I don't need to support such a fleet." Tang Mo added at this time.

"This..." John was a little embarrassed, because any country, or fleet, charts are the accumulation of their experience and their important wealth.

As for the maritime trade routes of the Poplarwood Kingdom, it is obvious that they overlap seriously with Bunas. If Tang Mo joins the maritime trade, it is obvious that he will share the cake of the Poplarwood Kingdom.

"We are friends, aren't we? Don't worry, we can sign an agreement, and I can guarantee that we will try our best not to sell the products of Yangmu Kingdom." Tang Mo promised, and after finishing speaking, he emphasized heavily: "We are friend, right?"

"Okay! I'll send the chart later!" John gritted his teeth and said, "But this will cost you another price! 1 gold coins!"

"Hahaha! That's no problem! My friend!" Tang Mo nodded generously and said without counter-offering.This move made John somewhat regretful, because he felt that the price he wanted might be lower.

Tang Mo patted John on the shoulder, as if 1 gold coins were just a small amount of money to him.Immediately afterwards he continued: "We can assemble a steam engine in one day, but transportation is a hassle."

"Under normal circumstances, it is a safer choice to transport the parts in their original state and install and debug them locally..." Tang Mo waved to a greasy worker not far away, motioning for him to come over.

Then, when the other party came over, he asked loudly: "How is it? Are you willing to go on a business trip? Go to the distant Poplar Kingdom, and get a subsidy of 2 gold coins per day."

As he said, he pointed to John beside him: "He will give you 2 gold coins every day, and you can take your wife with you."

"Really, my lord." The worker's eyes lit up when he heard the two gold coins, and he was extremely excited.

Tang Mo looked at John again, and said, "He can help you assemble and debug, and he can also help you assemble the newly produced parts according to the drawings... How about it? Do you want this service?"

"Of course! If he can make steam... steam engines... I'm willing to pay him! When can he leave?" John nodded joyfully, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Just tonight." Tang Mo was extremely generous.

"My lord, are you really willing to let me go with him?" the worker asked Tang Mo timidly.He is just a little transparent with average technology here, and he dare not dream that one day he can earn more than 1000 gold coins a year.

"Yes, take good care of yourself over there. After 4 months, you can come back with him." Tang Mo smiled and pointed to John, with an appearance of trusting him completely.

While the group was visiting the factory workshop, a carriage stopped in front of the factory gate.

A well-dressed old man opened the door of the carriage, and a slender girl jumped out of the carriage.

"This is Tang Mo's weapon workshop, miss." The housekeeper looked at the almost demolished courtyard wall, and introduced to the girl in front of him.

The girl looked at the gate here, and then at the construction site not far away, with a bright smile on her face.Even in this cold time, her smile is so beautiful, as if it carries the fragrance of flowers.

"Miss, miss?" The guard standing at the door saw the girl, and immediately became extremely nervous, and greeted somewhat stammeringly, "You, why...why are you here?"

"Where's Tiger? Let him come out and introduce me. I want to meet the legendary Mr. Tang." Alice smiled like a flower, and explained her intentions decently.
