776. Good and bad
Although Li Peng gave such an order because he was angry, the captain of the guard was indeed very serious in carrying it out, and as a result, he arrested more than 50 people at this moment, and some people were directly executed by him on the spot, and nearly 100 or so people were demoted by one level.
However, these things were not for Li Pengsuo to consider, he was now thinking about how to buy so many dwarven artillery pieces and how much money each artillery piece needed to be appropriate.
"You're back, why are you so slow? Is it hard to count the many muzzles? Corinna said after seeing Li Peng come back.
Li Peng sat next to her and sighed, "Don't mention it, I just ran into trouble, but fortunately, it has been solved smoothly." And he didn't ask Corinna what the trouble was after finishing speaking, he looked directly at Kaijia Copperbeard opposite and said, "Uncle, I have figured out how many cannons I need in total." ”
"Oh? It's good to figure it out, is it really like you said you need 200 doors? Kejia Copperbeard asked with a slight smile.
Hearing his words, Li Peng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "No, no, not so much." ”
"Let's talk about it, how many doors are needed." Kejia Copperbeard looked at him with a "I'll just say no" look.
"Although the number of 200 I mentioned before is relatively much, the actual situation is not much different from him, a total of 168 artillery pieces are needed." Li Peng told the pirate leader the number of his own figures.
"168, that's easy to say!" Kaijia Copperbeard said subconsciously disapplausively.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted in a tone of disbelief, and at the same time he immediately stood up from his chair. "How much do you say? 168 guns? ”
Li Peng nodded. "yes. It's 168, I'm not wrong. ”
"Oh my God! What kind of ship did you build, and why did you need so many guns? Did you really build a mobile turret? Kaijia Copperbeard couldn't believe that this qiē was real, because he had never heard of such a big ship in this world.
At this time, Li Peng became proud, and said complacently: "Uncle, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, not everyone has the strength to build such a ship, but I'm not one of them." ”
Kaijia Tongxu sat down again at this time, but he couldn't accept the message from Li Peng for a while. So I saw him with his head down, trying to digest.
"What did you say these guns were for?" After waiting for a while, Kaijia Copperbeard raised his head and said.
"Of course it's fighting pirates, so what else can I do with these guns?" After Li Peng finished speaking, he felt that there was something in Kaijia Copperbeard's words, so he asked: "I said uncle, you don't think I use these artillery pieces to do other things, do you?" ”
Kaijia Copperbeard did not hide his thoughts, nodded and said: "I do have this kind of worry, after all, these things are very dangerous, if you are just fighting pirates, it is fine, but if you are used to do other things, it will bring great danger, especially if you have such a huge ship." There's no one at sea who is your match, so I'll have to ask you what to say. Otherwise, I won't sell it to you. ”
Although Li Peng knew that the other party had good intentions, he also felt speechless, this old man was thinking too much, right?
"Although your consideration is necessary, uncle, I say uncle, do you think I am such a person? I don't have any aggressive thoughts, and we've known each other for so long, even if you don't ask carefully, you will know about what I'm doing through some people's news, have you ever heard that I oppressed the people or burned, killed and looted? Didn't you? I just think it's a little unsafe right now, so I have the idea of going to sea to fight pirates, if you really don't feel at ease, then I won't buy it, and find another weapon instead. ”
After Li Peng finished saying this, he got up and prepared to leave here with Corinna, but before he could move, he saw Kaijia Copperbeard stop him.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I haven't finished my sentence yet, why don't you, like my son, like my son, like listening to people." Kaijia Bronze said with a hint of displeasure.
Hearing his words, Li Peng sat down again, "It's not that I'm in a hurry to leave, it's that you're not going to sell it to me, so what am I still doing here, I have to find a spare tire, uncle, you can't let me go out to fight pirates on a bare ship with no firepower, right?" Isn't that the same as going up to die? ”
"Did I say I wouldn't sell it to you?" Kaijia Copperbeard asked, "I'm just asking what you're going to do, it seems that you never said the word "don't sell", right?" ”
Li Peng blinked his two big eyes and recalled it seriously, and found that the other party really didn't say that he wouldn't sell it.
"What do you mean, uncle? I'm afraid that I'll do this and that, and don't say or sell it to me, which one is your real idea, tell me quickly, don't let me guess. ”
Kaijia Bronze Beard glared at Li Peng with two eyes as big as a bull, and said, "Of course I have my reasons for asking, am I just worried that you will do other things, if you preemptively use these artillery to attack the city, what army will be your opponent?" ”
"Then why don't you just tell me not to sell it?" Li Peng asked.
After he said this, Kaijia Bronze Beard didn't glare at him anymore, but said with a thoughtful look: "Actually, I also considered, if you really fight pirates, then only dwarf artillery is the most suitable, and even if you really don't use these artillery, then if you want to attack the city, isn't it the same for other artillery, so it doesn't have much to do with whether I sell you or not, it depends on whether you have that mind." ”
In fact, what he said Li Peng understands is that the weapon was originally made only for self-defense, so as not to be attacked by those fierce beasts, so the weapon is harmless to people, but at the same time it is harmful, but this "harmful" itself is not in this weapon, but in what kind of person is using the weapon, good people can use it to benefit society, while bad people use it to make life miserable.
"Then uncle, I still say that, do you think I am the one who would do such a thing?" Li Peng asked rhetorically.
Kaijia Tongxu glanced at Li Peng seriously, and then shook his head, "It is precisely because I believe that you are not such a person, so I didn't reject you at the beginning, otherwise I just told you not to sell it, and I didn't have to worry about it for a long time." (To be continued......)
