"Oh?" Gomez was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

Chang Wei snorted coldly, "You and Chu Tiankuo drove me away together, and now you still want to use a warship to land on my island?" I think it's time to reconsider the cooperation between the two sides." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

At that time, Chu Tiankuo used the power of officialdom to dismiss Chang Wei, Chang Wei lost the biggest hole card and there was no master in charge, so he had to withdraw from Liuheng Island, and he was helpless about the attitude of the Francophone man who saw the wind and steered.

However, now Chang Wei is not only strong and strong, but also has a stable official position, and he is not afraid of open guns and hidden arrows. Even Chu Tiankuo didn't dare to send someone over, so he could only let Chu Qing play some tricks.

In this case, Chang Wei naturally became angry.

"No, no, no. Gomez flatly denied it, "Honorable lord, you have misunderstood, we just want to stop here temporarily, and we have absolutely no intention of encroaching on your territory, please rest assured." ”

"Well, for the sake of our personal friendship, I won't care about it. However, at the beginning, Jin Ge would drive me away from Liuheng Island, and you were also accomplices, that incident made me personally lose at least 200,000 taels of silver, and I also lost face in front of my business partners, you know, we Ming people are the most face-conscious, especially I am still a high-ranking official, if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that the cooperation between us will end here!" Chang Wei asked unrelentingly.

"I admit that we were deceived by Chu's words, he said that the official position of the Lord is unstable. Gomez still wanted to shirk it, but seeing that Chang Wei's face was getting more and more gloomy, he had to say, "Okay, we are willing to compensate the adults." ”

Chang Wei immediately said: "The direct loss is calculated according to 200,000 taels of silver, plus the face I lost, it is calculated as 300,000 taels, and you can give 500,000 taels." ”

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Gomez exclaimed, "no, no, it can't be, it's too much." ”

Chang Wei said in a deep voice: "Why do you think that my losses are not so much, or do you think that my face is not worth much?"

"No, I can calculate the loss of the adult, and the face of the adult is also quite important. Gomez hurriedly explained, for fear of angering him again, "It's just that this compensation is beyond our ability, 500,000 taels is equivalent to the profit we made from doing business on Liuheng Island, and we can't take out so much silver." ”

"How is it possible!" Shen Kuang earned two million taels of silver in the first transaction, and Gomez shipped the fine silk, porcelain, and handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty to Macao, and the Manraka trade could at least earn so much, if it was shipped back to Europe, it would be at least twice as much, how could it not be possible to take out 500,000 taels?

Chang Wei asked like a cannonball, "In Asia and Southeast Asia, you are directly robbing gold and silver, how can you not take out this bit of silver? Tell you that I am a **** Shangguo, not those barbarians wearing tree bark! You want to deceive me with this kind of lie, it is a dream! If you cause losses, you will lose money, this is called Xinyi in the Ming Dynasty, and it should be called the spirit of contract in Europe, right? Don't you want to abide by it?"

"Oh, God, you even know the spirit of the contract? You are not at all like a Ming official like you are so shrewd. Gomez was stunned.

Chang Wei's voice softened by two points, "I said that our Ming officials value the most face, and you have caused me to lose face, of course I won't do that." According to chivalry, I will not only ask you for silver now, but also throw my gloves in your face and duel you!"

"Well, I'll admit that we underestimated you, and we didn't expect you to be so well-versed in European culture. Gomez put away all the hypocrisy and said frankly: "However, the compensation of 500,000 taels of silver is too much, and it is really impossible." ”

"Then use artillery to arrive!" Chang Wei finally said his true thoughts, "Xu Guangqi once asked people to buy a 4,000-pound cannon in Macao, claiming to be worth 1,000 taels, but in fact, this is a false price reported by the person who bought it, if it is made by the British, the cost of the cannon is 200 taels, and I will count you 500 taels and 1 men." Just give me a thousand 3,000-pound guns!"

"No, it can't be!" Gomez was furious, "It's blackmail!"

At that time, regardless of whether it was East or West, the scrap rate of artillery casting was actually quite high. According to the "Fire Attack Essentials", due to the quality of casting, even in Europe, seven or eight out of ten cannons had to be scrapped, so the British's high-quality cast iron cannons were sold to Europe five times as high.

The cost of a 3,000-pound (about 3,000-pound) Hongyi cannon was 3,350 taels for the Ming court.

"Really, what do you say?" Chang Wei also knew that his request was a bit shameless.

Gomez, a shrewd merchant, immediately began to repay the money on the ground, "In this way, at the price of three thousand pounds of cannon (Hongyi cannon) of three thousand taels of silver each, we will sell you a hundred." ”

"You first figure out that this is not business, it's compensation, compensation do you understand?" Chang Wei was not easy to mess with, and immediately bargained, "One thousand taels and one door, and I want three hundred small cannons such as the rest of the Franc machine, a total of 200,000 taels!"

"My lord, this is impossible, at least one thousand and five thousand gates, with a total price of three hundred thousand taels!"

"Damn, you might as well grab it! 250,000 taels, no discussion!"

"No, this has nothing to do with my mother, the price is 280,000 taels. ”

"Forget it, I'll give you 300,000 taels, in addition to 400 cannons, I also need a hundred artillerymen and a full set of equipment and technology!"

"Oh my God, you're such a robber. If you say that, don't talk about it without a million taels. ”

"Damn, if you dare to bargain for 500,000 taels, Lao Tzu will destroy you with one shot!"

"Are you so interested in my mother? Well, she's actually a beautiful widow, a total of 800,000 taels, and you can be my stepfather, how about it?"

"Hold the grass, you are so shameless, I don't want your mother, 600,000 ......"

Chu Qing and the three of them were originally worried about what agreement the two would reach, which was very unfavorable to Jin Gehui, but as the two of them quarreled with each other's faces and thick necks, and even showed signs of strangling each other, they gradually became happy.

However, if they knew Portuguese, they would be scared to death.

Let Chang Wei get the advanced artillery and artillery-making technology of the Franc robot, and the disciples of the Jin Ge Society on Liuheng Island will not want to live a peaceful life.

In the end, Chang Wei gasped and said: "700,000 taels plus the warships that transport artillery, equipment and personnel, don't talk about it if you bargain again!"

Gomez staggered and said, "Yes, the trade of a thousand flintlock pistols must also be carried out at the same time!"

Chang Wei said solemnly: "Of course, but you remember that this is a secret transaction, if the news leaks, not only will you not receive a tael of silver, but Macau Island will also face a crusade from the imperial army!"

Gomes stroked his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lordship, we Portuguese are the most reputable." ”

"Deal!" the two clasped their hands in the air, and then hugged with a smile on their faces.

"This is?" The two people who seemed to be enemies a moment ago suddenly became like brothers, and this situation made Chu Qing and the three of them dumbfounded.

"Hello adults, I'm from the Yagyu family in Japan. "The Japanese who had been standing by his side finally found a chance to speak.

Chang Wei asked lightly, "Yanagi's family, are the Yanagi Ten Guards here?"

Suddenly, Chu Qing asked in a cold voice, "Why do Westerners and Easterners come to you?"
