After negotiating a big deal, Ouyang Shuo relaxed and said with a smile: "William, let's make another exchange." The www.biquge.info Shanhai City exchanged three giant building ships for a first-class sail battleship and two third-class sail battleships. ”

In the three years of Gaia, when ironclad ships had not yet emerged, the building ships and the sail battleships had their own merits and flaws. Ouyang Shuo's intention was naturally to learn from each other's strengths and improve the level of warship manufacturing in the territory.

More importantly, the overall design of the sail battleship is closer to the design concept of the future ironclad. If the Shanhai City Shipyard had sail battleships as a reference, it could naturally accelerate the research of ironclad ships.

William is a smart man, and he suddenly understood it and smiled: "Yes." ”

He also hoped to take this opportunity to establish some personal friendship with Ouyang Shuo. The two giants of the East and the West are working hand in hand, and that kind of picture is exciting to think about.

Next, it's time to negotiate some details of the deal.

It wasn't until about 6 p.m. that the two giants finally reached a deal.

This transaction was not an ordinary huge deal, Shanhai City spent a total of four million gold coins, 1,000 underwater breathing apparatus, twenty three-bowed and eight-ox monnieri crossbows, two dragon crystals, and three giant building ships in exchange for the steam engine manufacturing technology of Fort Ivek, the loom-making technology, and the three sail battleships.

At the same time, William agreed to fund 12 mechanical engineers and 15 textile technical talents in Shanhai City free of charge to cooperate with Shanhai City to complete the transformation of the two technologies.

The deal was done, and everyone was happy.

William was given ample funds for construction, and Ouyang Shuo was given the technology he coveted.

In this way, the funds in Ouyang Shuo's storage bag have also shrunk by a small half.

When defeating the Spanish Armada, Ouyang Shuo's funds in his hands reached 11 million gold coins; The construction of the base point city, including the formation of the Mediterranean fleet, successively consumed nearly one million gold coins.

Sea auction, another two million were recovered.

Ouyang Shuo's personal wealth once accumulated to a huge amount of 12 million gold coins. After the transaction with William was completed, it became eight million gold coins in one fell swoop, which directly shrank by one-third.

Of course, everything is worth it.

That evening, William held a grand dinner in the largest banquet hall of the castle, which was not only to welcome the arrival of Ouyang Shuo and his party, but also to celebrate the large deal reached by the two parties in the afternoon.

The next day, the two sides began to fulfill the contract.

William handed Ouyang Shuo two booklets, namely "Steam Engine Manufacturing Technology Manual" and "Loom Manufacturing Technology Manual", Ouyang Shuo took it, and felt heavy.

In addition, William gave away an additional five prototypes.

It wasn't until the bulk of the cargo began to be delivered that the rest of Fort Ivek learned of the shocking deal.

"Shanhai City is really rich in the world, and it deserves to be the world's number one trench!" There are amazing.

"Isn't it good to sell steam engines and looms to the Orientals?" There are also doubts, but the transaction has been settled, and no one is powerless to change it, and they can only complain.

"Anyway, we're finally rich." The Territorial Treasurer was most excited.

In the midst of the discussion, the transaction continued.

It was not until about 5 p.m. that the batches of goods were delivered. The most difficult thing to deal with is, of course, the delivery of the battleship. The British sail battleships were okay, and the new ships were delivered directly from the shipyards.

The building ship of Shanhai City had to be moved on the spot and the materials were transferred to the sail battleship.

In the afternoon, the deal between the two giants has spread all over the UK, and even some European countries have already received the news. In this way, it naturally caused a wave again.

There are those who crusade against Britain and betray Europe, and there are those who are envious and jealous, and even red-eyed.

Even in the middle of the third year of Gaia, four million gold coins was still a lot of money for a lord. What's more, European countries generally have smaller territories, and this money is even more generous.

The strong rise of Fort Ivek is unstoppable.

At the same time, the lords of Europe began to accelerate the development of steam engines. The first industrial revolution is about to explode across Europe.

************

August 20, Dragon's Head.

After the deal was completed, the ocean-going fleet did not stay in Plymouth Harbour for long, and immediately set sail back.

There were three less building ships and three more sail battleships in the fleet. Taking this opportunity, the sailors of Shanhai City, including the sailors, were trained to familiarize themselves with the performance and operation of the sail battleship under the guidance of the engineers of Fort Ivek.

If the sailing speed is at a normal rate, even if it is not delayed by things on the way, it will take at least two months for the ocean-going fleet to return to Shanhai City smoothly.

By that time, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold, and the sixth battle has already begun.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to return to Shanhai City quickly.

The specific method was already considered by Ouyang Shuo before he went to sea. Even the entire ocean-going fleet, if it goes well, does not need to set off for China step by step.

Some of the rules in the game, if used well, can sometimes work wonders.

In the war room, Ouyang Shuo was secretly talking with Zheng He, "You lead the ocean-going fleet back to Jidian City, and wait for further instructions there." ”

"What about you?" Zheng He was puzzled.

"Tonight, I will return to Shanhai City through the secret method, don't worry."

"Understood!" Zheng He nodded.

The magic of Inhumans has long been known to NPCs.

……

The secret method Ouyang Shuo said was a special item obtained on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year of Gaia-Yin and Yang copper coins.

[Yin Yang Copper Coins]: After use, it can be resurrected and reincarnated once without damage.

With this protection, Ouyang Shuo can directly commit suicide and complete his reincarnation in Shanhai City.

Without hesitation, Ouyang Shuo took off his equipment and put it in the storage bag.

The so-called lossless reincarnation is just that there is no loss of level, internal strength, skills, merit points and other attributes, and the equipment on the body will still fall after death.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, it is essential to put away the equipment.

Immediately after, Ouyang Shuo committed suicide without hesitation. Lean slightly, and his "corpse" disappeared into the secret chamber of the Dragon Head.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo, who was thousands of miles away in the Reincarnation Hall of Shanhai City, slowly walked out. The equipment taken off on his body has been put on.

"Jun, Junhou?"

The Praetorian Guards who were in charge of guarding the Reincarnation Hall were speechless in surprise when they saw Ouyang Shuo. The sergeant knew that the Hall of Reincarnation was not a good thing for the Inhumans.

But whoever comes out from this is a person who has "died once".

"Don't panic, it's fine."

"Yes!" The sergeant's conditioned salute was ordered.

In the Praetorian Guard, Ouyang Shuo was the absolute supreme being.

For the words of the prince, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard will not have any doubts.

************

Ouyang Shuo's sudden return caused an uproar in Shanhai City.

The whole city became boiling because of the return of the prince. In the past six months, the achievements of the ocean-going fleet led by the prince have become well-known as early as the conscious propaganda of Xiao He and others.

In the eyes of the people, the prince is already the unborn overlord, Weijiahaine.

Ouyang Shuo's prestige in the territory reached a peak from this.

In less than two hours, the news of Ouyang Shuo's return to Shanhai City spread throughout China.

Know, know.

……

Handan City, Lord's Palace.

"Has the old fox returned?" Di Chen's eyes were deep.

I don't know when the [Yanhuang League] called Ouyang Shuo the old fox.

The peerless Fenghua smiled and turned all beings upside down, "I'm afraid that the Chinese region will not be peaceful again." ”

"yes, that's a good thing."

Peerless Fenghua suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "I just don't know, how will the old fox feel when he learns about the recent results of our [Yanhuang Alliance]?" ”

"Thoughts?" Di Chen raised his eyebrows, "Compared with his international fame, what is our achievement, I'm afraid it won't be in his eyes at all!" ”

"Don't be presumptuous." Peerless elegance persuaded.

Di Chen shook his head, looking lonely, "It's not presumptuous. Do you know that the latest information from [Imperial Wind] shows that the old fox has bought the British steam engine technology. ”

"You say, will he open this technology to the [Shanhai Alliance]?" The peerless elegance thinks deeper.

"Perhaps!"

Emperor Chen is also a little uncertain, if it were him, he would never share it with his allies. But that one is different, he never follows common sense, and often surprises.

I have to say that in his mind, Di Chen sighed to himself.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the results of our hard work for more than half a year will be greatly reduced."

Di Chen was downcast, "That's also something that can't be helped, who let us not have the ability to go to sea." ”

"I've heard that Xiongba has been vigorously developing the Sailor recently." The peerless Fenghua observed Di Chen's expression, and then said: "I heard that Xiongba and the old fox are a little close. This time the old fox returns, and the male bully doesn't know what kind of moth will be made. ”

Hearing this name, Di Chen frowned unconsciously.

"Let him go!"

In the end, Di Chen didn't say anything.

……

If the [Yanhuang League] is only afraid of Ouyang Shuo's return, then the [Yunnan City-State] is afraid of Ouyang Shuo's return.

Over the past six months, the Longxiang Army of Shanhai City, stationed on the border of Yunnan Province, under the command of Bai Qi, has continuously carried out various military exercises and has been aggressive.

At the same time, the army of Lingxi City and the army of Long Xiang also interacted frequently. The meticulous work of the two sides even went in and out of the boundary of Yunnan Province, and almost checked the Yunnan Province.

Its intentions are self-evident.

There have long been rumors that the Long Xiang army has been preparing for the capture of the [Yunnan city-state]. The reason why the war has not started for a long time is just to cooperate with Shanhai City's policy of "cultivation and recuperation".

Ouyang Shuo's sudden return, does it mean that the "dormant" of Shanhai City has come to an end for the time being. This tiger should show its fangs again and choose people to devour.

The first to bear the brunt is undoubtedly the [Yunnan City-State].

In this way, how not to make the lords of the [Yunnan City-State] uneasy.

The convening of an emergency meeting of the four major city-states is imminent.
