The rainy season was unexpectedly long this time. It has been five months since Corning City hit the Holy See's elite.
At this time, it has entered December of the earth calendar, and the winter solstice is almost approaching in China.
However, on the side of the Avalon Empire, the rainy season is about to end, and the entire Avalon will usher in a long summer.
What meteorologists from the 5 Earth countries can confirm is that the inherent earth territory is still the climate of the earth, but the newly developed territory is the climate of another world, which is very strange.
Even under the same sun and under the same moon, such differences cannot be eliminated. This is probably the power of this magical spaceship under your feet.
Moreover, the meteorological environment of the other world is also very strange, and it is difficult to come up with a regular climate change forecast.
And there are extreme climates in some areas. Maybe a certain mountain forest is like spring all year round, but there is a small area in this mountain forest with a completely different season and climate from the entire mountain forest.
In the words of the locals in the flat-earth world, this is the aftermath of the battle of the gods, or a wonderful fantasy created by the god of creation.
Veslan City, the city at the end of the Avalon Grand Canal, was the core of the last line of defense in the southern Avalon Empire.
In Wislan Castle, Bob has just received several nobles from the south. They complained to Bob and asked him to lower his taxes appropriately.
During the war, everyone tightened their belts, and Bob knew the difficulties of these nobles.
Although Bob really wanted to be moved by his emotions, he used his reasoning to persuade these nobles to abandon their personal interests and serve the empire and the emperor, but Bob also knew that this was impossible.
Although the taxes paid by noble vassals to their superior lords were partly related to the laws of the empire, the attitude of the nobles towards their superior lords had a lot to do with it.
"Fairy Wood"
In the era of enfeoffment, if the lower lords are dissatisfied with the upper lords, not only may they not even pay taxes, they may not even provide you with levies during the war.
Between the lord and the lord, there is a relationship of mutual cooperation, competition and exchange of interests.
Bob did not embarrass these nobles, just cut taxes, at least let these nobles still support the empire.
A guard broke in just after Bob sent these nobles away: "Marshal! The arms dealer you want has been contacted!"
"Huh? Where?"
Bob contacted an arms dealer who could sell Chinese weapons. Tomir's troops equipped with flintlock guns and grenades made Avalon suffer.
Among ordinary soldiers, cold weapons are far less good than hot weapons.
Fortunately, it was the rainy season before, and the flintlock guns in Tomir's army did not shine much during this period, but the grenades in their hands killed the Quartet at this time.
The rainy season in Avalon is coming to an end, and Bob knows that flintlocks will once again shine on the battlefield, so a few months ago, Bob asked someone to help find a businessman who could sell flintlocks. .
"We've taken him to the parlour."
Bob nodded again and again: "Okay, take me to see."
It didn't take long for Bob to be in the parlour.
Gently opening the door, a Chinese man in a suit, about 45 years old, sat on a reclining chair and was served by several young and beautiful maids.
When the maids saw that Bob was coming, they got up quickly, saluted Bob, then bowed to the Chinese man, and left.
Seeing these young and beautiful young ladies go away, the Huaxia person felt pain in his heart, stretched out his hand, and hesitated.
But due to the arrival of a major client, he had to tidy up his clothes, stood up from the reclining chair, looked at Bob, smiled awkwardly, and said in Panda language: "Looking at you, you must be Your Excellency the Duke, right
My lord Blue Whale, the boss of 'Blue Whale Spirit Musket'. "
As he spoke, he took out a business card with Chinese on the front and Pandawen on the back.
"blue whale?"
Bob was stunned for a moment. Isn't the businessman he was looking for a smuggler from Panda? How did he become a Chinese
After taking the Blue Whale's business card, he glanced at it. Bob, who didn't know Chinese, only recognized Pandawen on the back of the business card.
For the Chinese people, Bob has some scruples. While looking at the blue whale, he pondered: "I remember that I was looking for a smuggler from Panda."
"Snapped!"
Blue Whale snapped his fingers, took out a cigar from his bosom, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Yes, I am the 'smuggler' you asked for."
Bob waved his hand. He was not used to smoking Chinese people's cigarettes, and refused the blue whale's cigar. Bob tried to ask, "You, treason?"
Blue Whale said casually: "Hey, where is it, Duke.
I am a legitimate businessman in China, and there is no such thing as treason. "
With that said, the blue whale began to reassure Bob.
After the Amina incident, the blue whale went to Carinthia again, but this time, the blue whale was lucky enough to meet his financier, William, the Earl of Cornwall of Carinthia.
William also wanted to set up a flintlock gun factory, but he didn't have the skills and couldn't set up a factory in Mobei Province.
According to the regulations on the production of flintlock guns in Mobei Province, only companies with 100% Chinese people can approve the production of flintlock guns.
Therefore, William proposed to Blue Whale to invest in Blue Whale, let Blue Whale monopolize the shares, and set up a flintlock factory.
On the other hand, Blue Whale needs to buy 50% of the sales profit in Huaxia, and then send it to the warehouse of Cornwall Business Group in Friendship Pass or Windmill City.
The matter of foreigners indirectly participating in sensitive industries, Blue Whale is not stupid, and reported directly to the Time and Space Administration.
However, the Time and Space Administration is also very concerned about William, a noble in Carinthia. At the same time, according to the agreement between William and the Blue Whale, William will not share the pure profit, nor will he take any flintlock.
All he wanted was the equivalent of Chinese goods with 50% of the profit, so after Blue Whale prepared a case at the Time and Space Administration, he quickly built the "Blue Whale Spirit Musket".
Taking money from foreigners to boost the province's GDP has always been what Dakang and Dakang are willing to see.
When Bob heard it, in this way, he was looking for half a Panda merchant and half a Carinthian merchant.
Bob was also less concerned about the blue whale, so he asked, "Mr. Lan, how much did you bring this time?"
However, the blue whale held a cigar, looked at Bob, and asked, "Your Excellency the Duke, do you mind if I smoke one, in this solemn castle, you are so nervous that you are afraid of being annoying in front of Your Excellency the Duke and other nobles. Don't dare to smoke."
Bob nodded: "If you please, I don't mind."
"Crack."
A string of flames rose up, and the blue whale took two cigars in a "lielie", and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke to one side, then looked at Bob, and asked in return, "Your Excellency Duke, how much do you want?"
Bob narrowed his eyes. Could this guy give as much as he wants
Try asking, "How much can you give me as much as I want?"
The blue whale was overjoyed: "Then it depends on whether the inventory is enough for Your Excellency's appetite."
"How many?"
The blue whale compared an eight. Bob couldn't understand this unique gesture of China. He stared at the blue whale suspiciously, only to hear the blue whale say slowly: "More than 80,000 flintlock guns."
"80,000!!? That much??"
Bob was shocked. The 80,000 yuan is too exaggerated. It was taken from a businessman. You must know that Huaxia and Avalon are currently at war.
"Are you sure your Panda language is 80,000, not 8,000, right?"
The blue whale nodded affirmatively: "80,000, the old man is innocent."
Bob took a deep breath: "How come there are so many, Huaxia agreed to sell it to us? Or is it that your Excellency is treasonous?"
However, the blue whale smiled, shook off the ash, and said unhurriedly: "I am a legitimate businessman, and the domestic trade has been lifted due to the pressure of us businessmen.
Today's flintlock guns can be bought by anyone as long as they have money.
I am a legitimate business, not treason. "
Blue Whale said half-truths, as for the pressure from businessmen, there is no such thing.
Mainly to create the strength of the Chinese arms dealer in front of Bob.
Bob was taken aback: "The ban is lifted?"
Blue Whale nodded: "Not long ago, I wonder if your Excellency thinks the 80,000 flintlock guns and the matching ammunition are enough?"
"Of course not enough, the more the better..."
Having said this, Bob asked again, "If I want more guns, can you get them?"
Blue Whale patted his chest, hehe smiled and said: "I am an honest businessman, I have signed an agreement, and I will abide by it.
Don't forget, Your Excellency, I am the owner of the musket factory. I can produce as much as you want at any time. "
Bob nodded, thinking that the blue whale seemed very reliable, so he asked, "Where are those 80,000 flintlocks?"
The blue whale came alone and did not bring any goods with him. All the goods were in the transit warehouse in Lane City in Avalon Grand Canal.asxs.
"In Lane City, if your Excellency wants, you can have someone take them by boat to the north at any time."
With the opening of the train from .asxs. to Mantoun, more and more commodities have also taken the train directly to Mantoon, and then transferred to inland freighters to be transported to Lane in the upper reaches of Mesotho King Jurelin city.
Therefore, Lane City is now a transit station, and all kinds of goods are gathered in this place.
The blue whale continued: "If you want more, I can produce it at any time. Using our inland freighter, you can soon transport what you want to Wislan."
Bob also imitated the flintlock gun, but when he invested a lot of money, he found that the flintlock gun he made was too far away from Huaxia's flintlock gun, so Bob had to give up.
Now that Blue Whale has brought more, better and cheaper flintlock guns, Bob of course chose the Blue Whale Spirit brand flintlock gun.
It took the two sides half a day to finalize a detailed agreement on trade.
Bob placed an order for 500,000 flintlock guns from "Blue Whale Spirit Gun" using gold and some minerals, as well as luxury goods and specialties as payment methods.
The first batch of 80,000 flintlock guns had already signed an agreement. After paying the deposit, Blue Whale asked Lane City's men to put the guns on the wooden sailboat and head towards the lower reaches of the Avalon Grand Canal.
As for whether the 500,000 flintlock blue whale can eat it, that's not what he needs to worry about.
With so many flintlock gun manufacturers in Mobei Province, Blue Whale can make a little profit by placing orders with other manufacturers.
With the lifting of trade restrictions, the war that swept the western part of the northern continent of Aghanim, and the militarization reform of the Aghanim countries, the flintlock gun manufacturers in the entire Mobei Province began to work overtime to produce flintlock guns. Come.
