Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 501 Typed agreement (4)

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, shopkeeper Wang, listen to my explanation, everything can be discussed again."

Mu'a Weiya Aben didn't expect Wang Haibin to turn his face when he said that he would turn his back on him, so he couldn't help becoming anxious. If he turned back without any results, then Yazid ibn Abu would have to pick him up Seeing that several sailors came aggressively to chase them away, Mua Via Aben yelled with a pale face.

"Hmm!" Wang Haibin's dismissal was just a gesture, and he didn't want to make things so irreversible, so he waved his hands with a stern face, stopping the actions of the sailors, with a dark face and extremely complex expressions Looking at Mua Weiya Aben unhappyly, he said: "My lord, this boat is the lifeblood of the seamen like us. No matter how you say it, the sale of the boat is not negotiable. As for the others, it is One or two can be discussed."

"This...Of course, of course, my lord governor has no malicious intentions. He just wants to do research. I will not hide it from the shopkeeper. Our country is extremely powerful. According to the will of Allah, we are invincible wherever we go. Only the navy The accumulation is a bit shallow, and it’s okay in this long and narrow Red Sea, but there’s nothing you can do on the Mediterranean Sea. Every time I’m bullied by the heathen allied forces, my Governor tried several times, but he couldn’t form an army. Discuss, if the ship is not for sale, can we send some skilled craftsmen to help our country build a ship as big as yours, the cost is negotiable, shopkeeper Wang is free to ask, my lord governor will not respond."

Mua Via Aben had been bluffed by Wang Haibin to the point of confusion, and he was only thinking about getting something to go back to work with, so the words poured out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, and even Lao Di missed everything .

Both Wang Haibin and Lin Hu are very familiar with the word Mediterranean Sea. It's not that they have been there, but they have seen it from the chart that Li Xian gave them. However, they don't know anything about the specific details of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Knowing that Europe is in great chaos now, there are countless small countries, there are many princes, and they are constantly attacking each other, but they are all at odds with the big food country. It never stopped. Before coming here, Li Xian had explained that if possible, it would be fine to make the battle between the two parties more intense. As for the method, the two of them can just figure it out. However, just because of these words, when Mua Via Aben mentioned the battle with the countries of Europe, Wang and Lin both cheered up, and they exchanged a quick exchange of words. A knowing look.

"Master Haihan, although Mr. Wang is a seafarer, he doesn't know how to build a ship. As for the maintenance personnel in the fleet, although there are a lot of them, they only know how to repair and repair. If you really want to build a ship, you must If something goes wrong, I really dare not take orders." Wang Haibin shook his head with a face full of embarrassment, and replied sincerely.

"Ah, this, this... Shopkeeper Wang, there is no doubt that there is not even a person who understands ships in such a large fleet?"

As soon as he heard that it was impossible to buy a boat, or to find a man-made boat, Mua Via Aben's head immediately grew bigger, and he begged repeatedly with a bitter face.

"My lord, it's really impossible to build a ship. If you really want to mess around, I'm afraid it will miss a big deal. However, we have a group of skilled craftsmen who are good at mechanics, and they can help you build some giant ballistas. It's just..."

Wang Haibin seemed to be moved by Mua Via Aben's pleading, he sighed slightly, and gave Mua Via Aben a glimmer of hope, but stopped in embarrassment before he could finish speaking. Shut up.

"The ballista? Okay, this is good. I don't know what price Shopkeeper Wang needs, so just open your mouth. I will try my best to fight for it from my Governor, and I will definitely not disappoint Shopkeeper Wang."

Hearing what Wang Haibin said, Mua Via Aben immediately became excited, not only because he was terrified by the extremely sharp ballista of the Datang Fleet in the previous battle, but also because This ballista is the weapon that Yazid ibn Abu wanted most. If he can get the manufacturing manpower from Wang Haibin, he, Mua Weiya Aben, can go back to make a triumphant return.

"So that the Master Chief can know that these skilled craftsmen are all the children of my royal family. If you want to stay in your country to help build ballistas, it is not impossible, but you can't let your country do whatever you want. If you allow us to build a colony in Alexandria If Semicolon will take over the order for ballista manufacturing in your country, then Wang may be able to persuade these skilled craftsmen to stay in Alexandria for the time being." Wang Haibin seemed to be very embarrassed and rubbed his forehead, and some people reluctantly gave a promise.

"That's it, this, I'm afraid it's hard for this official to make a decision. I have to ask my governor to make a decision. I don't know if the shopkeeper Wang can allow a few days."

With such sharp weapons as the ballista, Mua Via Aben thought to himself that it was enough to go back to the business, but he didn't dare to speak too harshly. After listening to Wang Haiyao's translation, this He begged in a pretense of embarrassment.

"My lord, you know that for people like me who run across the sea, time is money, and we can't afford to waste even a day. If we miss the trade wind, this year will be wasted. That's it, I can wait until sunset, if your country can't accept our terms, then we have no choice but to sell the goods elsewhere."

Mua Via Aben was acting, and Wang Haibin was also acting, and his acting skills were no worse than the other's. He shook his head with a wry smile, and gave an ultimatum.

"Well, I will return to Hong Kong immediately and report to my lord governor, and let lord make a ruling."

Mua Via Aben didn't want the Datang Fleet to leave in every possible way. Hearing what Wang Haibin said so resolutely, he couldn't help becoming agitated. He didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, so he hurriedly responded. , got up and offered to say goodbye.

"That's the best, my lord, please!"

Mua Via Aben was not a master with the right to make decisions, and Wang Haibin didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He had already said what he had to say. As for what decision the other governor would make, Wang Haibin He could only wait and see, so he stood up, sent Mua Via Aben to the side of the boat, and sent him away with dozens of jugs of fine wine as gifts. .

"Brother Hu, this ballista is extremely sharp, so let's pass it on to the other party for fear of inappropriateness. If His Highness blames it, then..."

After the boat of Mua Via Aben rowed far away, Wang Haibin, who was always smiling at the side of the boat, gradually became serious, and did not turn around the cabin. He just stood at the side of the boat and glanced at the Lin Hu opened his mouth hesitantly, and his words were full of unconcealable anxiety—During the previous negotiations, Wang Haibin had received Lin Hu's acquiescing eyes, so he reluctantly agreed to build a ballista for the other party. In my heart, I have no confidence at all.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, although the ballista is sharp, it is just something that will be eliminated. If it can be exchanged for a chance to establish a stronghold, it is not too bad. Hey, the sharp weapons in the hands of His Highness are more than these. One day in the future, Brother Wang It will be eye-opening."

Lin Hu is the actual founder of "Ming Di", so he is very aware of the work of the "Ming Di" secret research institute, and he doesn't pay much attention to ballistas, which are bulky and slow-firing, but Due to the rules, he couldn't tell the truth, he could only mention something vaguely and then let it go.

"Oh, that's a good thing, I don't know what the ambitious Governor-General will do?"

Wang Haibin and Lin Hu have known each other for many years, so he knows Lin Hu's character of telling the truth. Seeing what he said with such certainty, the uneasiness in his heart stopped, and he changed the topic with a smile.

"It's hard to say, let's wait and see."

Lin Hu has always been prudent, and he would never open his mouth about the bottomless matter in his heart, so he replied concisely.

"That's right, just wait, let's go, today we won a big game, we have to drink a lot, and drink!"

Although Wang Haibin is a bit worried about gains and losses, he is not an ordinary person after all, and he will not put his worries on his face, so he laughed and applauded, and pulled Lin Hu into the cabin... "My lord governor clearly learned, negotiating That's how it happened, the people of Tang only gave a time limit before sunset, how to decide, I would like to ask the governor to show me, so that the lower officials can follow suit."

In a secret room of the Governor's Mansion, Mu'a Weiya Aben stood humbly in the middle of the room, facing Yazid ibn Abu who was sitting cross-legged on the futon with a flattering smile, and carefully explained the process of negotiating with Wang Haibin Explained in detail, of course, not forgetting that he put gold leaf on his face so hard that he almost portrayed himself as a peerless negotiator.

"Semi-colon? These Tang people really dare to think, let's go and inform them, and say that this agreement is approved by the governor, but there must be an additional clause. The governor must take half of the shares in the ballista manufacturing factory. In addition, the governor must take half of the shares. It must be guaranteed that half of the workers are my cannibals. If this is the case, the governor will recognize this semicolon. The governor can guarantee their safety in my Alexandria city and be directly protected by me. If not, they can go wherever they like. Where to go!"

After listening to Mu'a Via Aben's briefing, Yezid ibn Abu did not speak immediately, but closed his eyes, and after silently calculating for a long time, he made the final condition .

"Ah, yes, I understand, I will do it now, I will do it now."

Mu'a Weiya Aben apparently didn't expect that Yazid ibn Abu would impose such a condition, and beads of sweat immediately dripped from his forehead, but he didn't dare to object, so he could only resign obediently go.

"Wait, Mua, you can find some people later. When the people of Tang return to China, go to Datang to broaden your horizons. I will pay for the expenses!"

Before Mua Weiya Aben could turn around, Yezid ibn Abu suddenly added another sentence. As soon as the words came out, Mua Weah Aben was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded What can I say?
