Chapter 916 Actually it's not difficult
"Young Master Xu, can you make the decision?" Li Laohai asked slowly. Xu Housheng stood up and said with certainty: "You can make the decision."
Nie Hei narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Laohai. Why did it sound like he wanted to kill a familiar person and kidnap the ticket? Li Laohai put down his wine glass and walked over, saying slowly: "Old man, I am old and don't want to get on the boat and drift. I want to live a safe life for a few years. I will do you a favor this time and earn a pension money for 30,000 taels. Old man, I'll find a way."
Hearing this number, Xu Housheng was stunned. Nie Hei and Yu Ou both took a breath. In an inland county with tens of thousands of people, can the annual tax be 30,000 taels? These people only need this price. This is much more profitable than robbing them.
Before they could speak, Xu Housheng agreed again: "Okay, as long as the person is indeed a craftsman in the artillery factory, I will pay you the money to Uncle Li. However, the cash money I brought this time is not enough, and you can settle it after you return there."
Nie Hei and Yu Ou were both anxious and dared not speak in front of such a seaman. Judging from the prestige and connections in Macau, you agreed so rashly, what should you do if you deduct the money? Although more than a dozen people from Xuzhou and Songjiang in the house can easily deal with this one-armed old man, no one can get out of this house and cannot live without Macau.
Then Li Laohai seemed to be talking about a small thing, and said with a relaxed smile: "You can't just say this."
"Uncle Li, I can still get a few thousand taels in my hand. If it is not enough, that boat can also be priced. If I don't believe it, I can be held here as a hostage." Xu Housheng said loudly.
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Xu Housheng. Nie Hei and Yu Ou didn't know what to say for a moment, but Li Laohai nodded with a smile. At this time, Nie Hei also reacted, but hurriedly stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Li, my uncle."
"I'm the one who comes this time," Xu Housheng suddenly raised his voice and said. Xu Housheng rarely had such a sudden attack. Nie Hei was stunned and then didn't care about anything. He said coldly: "Uncle, you can take out so much money, why do others do things for you? Wouldn't it be better to tie you up and ask for a ransom?"
Hearing this, Li Laohai laughed and had no intention of refuting. Xu Housheng slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? Then my brother-in-law will kill them all, anyone will take revenge anyway."
At this point, Nie Hei was also shocked, and the few people accompanying him were shocked. No one would have thought that this introverted young master, uncle, could say such words, but when he thought about it carefully, he was right. Nie Hei did not continue to speak, but just sat down silently, and Yu Ou laughed there twice, without mentioning anything.
Li Laohai shook his head and walked over, and said with a smile: "I'm going to hide it from you. The old man's home is in Zhangzhou, Fujian. You said it as if it was a real thing. How could you really kill people from such a faraway place? The old man just wanted to earn some pension money. He cheated on you and kidnapped the bill. The old man also has a reputation."
"I can really come here." Nie Hei said in a muffled voice and stopped talking.
This time, Li Laohai was stunned because on the way, it was obvious that Nie Hei was not a lie. The way he said this just now seemed to be saying something natural, but how could he call Jiangbei and Fujian beside him far away? Isn’t this a joke?
However, Li Laohai could see Xu Housheng's seriousness and could also see that Xu Housheng could make the decision. He stood at the table and said, "You are not lies, and the old man is not afraid of you running away. The big industry of the Yu family in Songjiang is 30,000 taels, but if you really want to do it, give the old man the money he can get tomorrow, and then you all stay on the boat, buy enough supplies, and be ready to sail and leave at any time. Then the old man will go with you, how about it?"
This time, Nie Hei and Yu Ou didn't say anything, just looked at each other and smiled bitterly, which was really unreasonable.
That night, he slept in the guest room prepared by the mall. Li Laohai went to find someone to arrange it. Xu Housheng and the others didn't know any details. They just slept for one night. Nie Hei also went to Xu Housheng to persuade him. Xu Housheng's answer was very simple: "If my brother-in-law is here, he would be willing to spend 100,000 taels."
Nie Hei thought about Zhao Jin's attitude towards the firearms, and then the amount of the 30,000 taels of silver, and finally fell silent.
The next day, according to Li Laohai's words, everyone returned to the ship after purchasing supplies. After leaving enough artillery funds, there was still a lot of gold left, almost 6,000 taels of silver. Xu Housheng gave it to Li Laohai.
Nie Hei and Xuzhou didn't say anything, while Yu Ou told the Yu family privately that the money was wasted. It was really a wealthy family's children didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive, and they were lucky that they looked reliable along the way.
They had already entered the port, and there were wine and women on the shore. They had been on the sea for so long, but they had to wait on the boat before they were happy. The sailors of the Yu family were very resentful. Xu Housheng made a quick decision and first gave a month's wages, and then doubled the return work, but they could not get off the boat. After the sailors took the money, they calmed down a little. Then Xu Housheng ordered Nie Hei, who would disobey the ship without permission, kill him without permission. After this order, no one dared to make trouble. No one would expect such an introverted young man to suddenly become so cruel.
When we got on the boat in the morning, in the afternoon, the cannons from the shop were sent over. Judging from the color and style, they were indeed removed from the sea boat. The wonder is that the shop’s shop’s shop’s men directly gave Xu Housheng and the others guidance on the deck, and it was unloaded from the boat. Foreigners were jealous of money, which was not something they said.
"Maybe there are also honest and honest people on that ghost ground, but after taking the boat out to sea for several months and a year, God knows when his life will be gone, so what do you recognize if you don't recognize money?" The person in the shop said it was true.
One pound, three pounds, six pounds and twelve pounds are all in stock, but it is extremely troublesome to load and unload six pounds and twelve pounds. After the ship approached the dock, it used cattle, horses and a lot of manpower to load the twelve pounds onto the ship, which weighed more than two thousand pounds. In order to ship this cannon, Xu Housheng even changed the structure of the deck and cabins to keep the ship stable.
There are many people buying cannons in Macau, but they rarely see them buying like this. The news is so loud that all the officials at the Port of Folangji came to check it out. There was a bonus of another silver, so no one was concerned about it.
After receiving the full payment, the shopkeeper said enthusiastically and with great remorse, "There is no eighteen pound cannon this time. If the customer is interested, he will definitely get it next time. There are even those who can shoot heavier shells. The shopkeeper even made a few words and said what to do if he buys so many cannons. Xu Housheng's answer was very realistic. He bought it to protect the village. As for whether he believes it or not, he will follow the other party.
I just waited in the port for two days. Although it was not long, Yi Yu on the boat became anxious. If so much money was handed over, would someone be deceived? Or if this was a case, the Ankebao the Yu family found was not reliable. Will this guarantor also be moved by Yinzi?
Nie Hei's face has never looked very good. Xu Housheng has something wrong with it. The guardian must be blamed. It's a headache to think about it.
But on the third night, people looking on the deck saw a four-wheeled cart unloading their bags on the sampan. This scene was really not rare in the port, but the sampan leaned towards its own boat.
On the sampan were Li Laohai, five sacks, both big and small, quite heavy. Nie Hei and Yu Ou helped to know what was inside, and there was a person inside.
"If you want to ask in the cabin, don't disturb others." Li Laohai said in a brief reminder.
When the sack was taken under the deck, the ropes that tied the sacks were cut open. Two strong men, one strong woman, and two boys were exposed. They were all Folang Ji people. They followed the sampan and there was a translator. This surprised Xu Housheng and the others. They thought that such a secret matter was so careless, but there was no way. If they wanted to verify the correctness, they would not be able to understand it without translator.
The questions asked by Xu Housheng were difficult to translate. The two strong men were still in shock. They were even more angry when they looked at the strong woman and the boy who were blocked. However, when they looked at the other party holding the sharp blade, they did not dare to move rashly, so they could only answer the questions obediently.
The translation was exhausted and he kept talking with his hands. The two strong men of Folang finally understood the general meaning. The other party actually asked about things related to casting and ironwork. They knew that if they didn't answer, they would probably endure hardships. They answered each question one by one.
Xu Housheng specially took a paper and pen and used a charcoal pen to roughly draw two similar pictures, one is right and the other is wrong, so he asked the other party to choose, and then he also drew various styles, asking the other party if he had seen it or not.
Nie Hei and Yu Ou on the side both nodded. Mr. Xu was impatient and reckless in doing things, and did not understand the sinisterness of the world, but he was still very meticulous when it came to the right path.
As for Li Laohai next to him, he was not angry at this obvious distrust, and just waited with a smile.
After asking questions over and over for half an hour, the people around him only heard these activities of forging irons. They were boring and bored, and they were all anxious. When Xu Housheng finished asking, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Start the sail and drive the boat," Xu Housheng ordered, Nie Hei and Yu Ou were subconsciously stunned. Is this sure?
"It's not bad. I know how to make a business in a blacksmith. I have seen the kind of cannon that my elder brother wants to make. And it's not a general translator who is lying to others. I asked Louis to teach me several words, but it's not bad." Xu Housheng said.
Nie Hei looked at Xu Housheng with a little more admiration. His uncle was really thoughtful. If Li Laohai had a game, he might not have had much interaction with other people, but the translation was easy to be bribed. Anyway, the translation was just the translation, so how do you know the authenticity?
