The handover procedures went smoothly, and Li Tianyang happily handed over the balance to Nihad. In the past, if he paid tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time, although Li Tianyang was calm and crisp on his face, he would inevitably feel pain in his heart for a long time.

But this time, when it came to a big deal of nearly 70,000 taels of silver, Li Tianyang didn't blink an eye, he was very confident, and he delivered it boldly and magnificently, without even a little bargaining.

Li Tianyang's action made Nihad, who was groveling on his face but had a lot of contempt in his heart, peeked at this young boy in surprise, and couldn't help but look at this young man a few times in his heart.

Although Nehad is not a person who has never seen the world, and every year he passes through his hands no less than tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, this amount of transactions is not bad, but in Nihad's experience, there are naturally countless times.

However, in Nihad's memory, there are few people who are as crisp and crisp as Li Tianyang, and most of them still want to seek some other interests or discuss again. Thinking about the young man in front of him, the foundation that has been broken down at a young age, Nihad had a little other thought in his heart: "It seems that I also want to get along well with this young man from the East, maybe there will be a time to rely on this young man with a great future in the future." ”

Even Major James has a high opinion of Li Tianyang and their team because of this, only people with strong own strength and rich savings in their hands will be so wealthy, at least in James's opinion, after having this batch of firearms, I am afraid that Li Tianyang's Hongtang strength will be improved by a few points. Reminiscent of the rumors in the sea, the Qiongzhou Shark went south, and the territory left behind joined the Hongtang along with the three masters of the Shark, and now their Hongtang's hard power may not be inferior to the overall strength of their Portuguese in the Far East!

"After you go back, do you want to suggest to the above that you have a good look at this Hongtang, at least not let him make friends with our Portuguese opponents!" Secretly, James thought about Carlo's attitude towards Li Tianyang today, and couldn't help but start worrying.

Li Tianyang himself immersed himself in this huge batch of munitions, imagining that in the future, after they were equipped with this batch of firearms, their overall strength would not be said to be a qualitative change, but it would also make great progress. When the gold mine in Jilongshan was mined, the ocean-going fleet was on the right track, and with a steady stream of funds as a guarantee, another batch of arms was purchased from the Francois people, who now maintained friendly relations, and all the team members were armed to the teeth.

When the time comes, look at which other guy is full of eggs, he Li Tianyang's face is looking!!

Meaning. In the midst of lewdness, Li Tianyang naturally didn't expect that the two foreigners who accompanied him next to him were lively, and at this time he was also thinking about things related to him in his heart. But even if he knew, Li Tianyang would probably only think that these two people had good vision, rather than that they had bad intentions!

Subsequently, after the handover, Li Tianyang did not stay in Macao for long, but had a one-night gathering with several high-level members of the council, and then hurriedly returned to Jilong Port with his people. Since the governor of Australia is not cold to Li Tianyang, then why should Li Tianyang go to find himself uncomfortable, and on the council's side, after giving out the last money in his hand, Li Tianyang is no longer able to make other transactions with the council for the time being.

Coupled with the thriving situation of Jilong Port and the major minerals in Jilong Mountain, Li Tianyang is not at ease to stay outside for too long.

Li Tianyang came back at the right time, because He Yong and Sun Juyong, who entered the Japanese Kingdom for the second time, returned with a full load again. Compared with the goods transported to the country last time, this time the goods that are obviously a grade higher, although the overall profit has increased, but in terms of the proportion between cost and profit, it is not as high as the last time. It's just a small change in the numbers, and the team members of the full-time economic sector can analyze for Li Tianyang that the ordinary class of the Wa Kingdom at this time is still in a stage of waste waiting to be revived, and the people on the Ming side are not as peaceful as the people.

Judging from the conversation between He Yong and the Japanese merchants, the newly unified and ruled by the Tokugawa shogunate required more ordinary materials than luxury goods at this time, which was a great reference for the future purchase of goods by the ocean-going fleet.

And this time, He Yong and the others didn't bring back much money, but they purchased a large amount of materials from the Wa Kingdom that could not be purchased in bulk in the interior of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the most are naturally pig iron and realgar, which are urgently needed by Hongtang and Qixintang today.

Needless to say, pig iron, whether it is people's livelihood or military, Li Tianyang's team consumes a lot of pig iron all the time.

Since organizing an exploration team and exploring the gold mines, Li Tianyang did not let the exploration team disband, but continued to let them shuttle through the surrounding areas controlled by Hongtang and the special operations battalion to find other ore veins.

It is a pity that until now, the exploration team has not explored other ores around Jilong Harbor and Bengang.

This also means that Li Tianyang's team, at least in the short term, can only purchase a large amount of pig iron from the outside to supply the team's consumption.

Therefore, this time, when He Yong and the others entered the Wa Kingdom eastward, Li Tianyang gave them instructions to purchase as much pig iron as possible from the Wa State.

Originally, when he gave this instruction to He Yong and them, Li Tianyang also thought that no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat, anyway, there was also a ballast in the bottom of the sea ship, so that he could buy some pig iron in the country, and he could also solve the lack of pig iron in the team. After all, no matter which country or team, for important materials such as pig iron, the control is always extremely strict, presumably no matter how early the Tokugawa shogunate is, it may not allow Li Tianyang to raise them to get how many pig iron materials.

But He Yong and the others brought Li Tianyang a shocking joy, among the ten sea ships that entered the country in the east, each sea ship carried 50,000 catties of pig iron, and the total scale reached 500,000 catties of pig iron.

"Is this country rich in steel?" Li Tianyang looked at the amount of pig iron on the account, and the surprise in his eyes had not faded.

"This is actually the proprietor of the sea merchant Li Dan, after knowing our purchase intentions, express their goodwill to you, young master!" He Yong really earned enough face this time, compared to the treatment he was treated equally when he went last time, He Yong, who went to Nagasaki to trade this time, when he reported the name of Qixintang firm, a full-time shopkeeper under Li Dan, a maritime businessman, came to trade with He Yong and them in person, and the price given was much fairer than last time.

Even, He Yong was fortunate to be received by Li Dan, the lord of Nagasaki and Hirado, and asked him to convey Li Dan's kindness to Li Tianyang and them.

"Oh? It seems that the reputation of our team is far and wide! Li Tianyang couldn't help but sigh, although he had not really been in contact with Li Dan's team, but since people from far away in Dongying could know the name of Qixintang and express at least goodwill, doesn't this just show that the strength of their team today is enough to be proud of the world!!
