Chapter 84 Purchasing Weapons

 The three of them returned to Qianhu Station first and ordered fifty cavalry to accompany them.

Shen Qianqian looks weak, but his riding skills are better than Zhang Yangquan, and he can always keep pace with Zhang Yangquan.

Wayaopu is not too far from Jiangdu. The three of them walked straight along the canal avenue and saw Kang Lian's big ship before noon.

One of the ships was docked on the shore, and boatmen were repairing it. The other ship was also docked on the shore, twenty feet away from the front ship.

Kang Lian took his entourage and built a shed on the shore. When he saw the three people arriving, he greeted them affectionately and said with a smile: "Kang acted so poorly that he asked Zhang Qianhu to come to express condolences in person. I'm really ashamed."

Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "Kang Zhang's words are serious. This batch of ordnance is of great importance. Zhang is really worried, so he came to take a look."

Kang Lian smiled and said: "Of course, these things are for you anyway. Does Zhang Qianhu want to take a look first?"

Zhang Yangquan snorted secretly. This guy smiled so greedily and treacherously. It seemed that Shen Qianqian's guess was indeed correct. He nodded and said: "This is the best!"

Kang Lian led the three people to a ship at the back, boarded the ship through the pedals, and came to the largest cabin. He looked up and saw that the cabin was full of swords, guns, swords, halberds, swords, shields and armor, dazzlingly shining!

Zhang Yangquan's eyes were instantly attracted by the Eight-door Fire Gun!

There are all Kang Lian's men on this ship, so he no longer pretends, rubs his hands, smiles on his face, his expression is similar to the way Guo Niansheng collects money every time he sells vegetables.

"Each of the two ships has eight muskets, four reciprocating cannons, five hundred sets of ring armor, five hundred sets of willow leaf armor, three thousand stacked shields, three thousand hard bows, fifty thousand arrows, five thousand scimitars, and eight thousand spears, Two thousand copper bones! I can decide everything on this ship. I wonder what Zhang Qianhu is interested in?"

Zhang Yangquan was secretly frightened. If he sold all these weapons, he didn't know how much money he could make. No wonder Kang Lian dared to take risks!

It seems that after Jiangdu is captured in the future, the first thing to be raided will not be the Zhennan Palace, but the Kanglian Palace!

Shen Qianqian suddenly said: "Kang Zhangshu, are we the first ones to arrive?"

Kang Lian laughed: "Miss Shen is still smart. Yes, someone has already taken the lead and bought a thousand hard bows, five hundred ring armor, and twenty thousand arrows."

Shen Qianqian said with emotion: "What a big gesture, is it Huang Boyan or Zhang Mingjian?"

Kang Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry that I can't tell you. Just like what you bought, I will never tell anyone else!"

Zhang Yangquan took a deep breath and was about to speak when Shen Qianqian suddenly winked at him and rushed to say: "We will buy one thousand hard bows, twenty thousand arrows, and five hundred sets of ring armor."

Kang Lian's eyes were shining, and he didn't even use calculations, just like counting treasures, and said: "One thousand bows and two thousand taels of silver, twenty thousand arrows and arrows, one thousand six hundred taels of silver, and five hundred ring armors and four thousand taels of silver, add up to A total of seven thousand six hundred taels of silver!"

Shen Qianqian looked at Zhang Yangquan and nodded slightly. Based on his trust in her, Zhang Yangquan said to Kang Lian: "It's a deal. I don't know how to do it?"

Kang Lian said: "Send someone here at midnight in the evening, give me the money, and I will give you a sign to pick up the goods. At the third watch, send someone with a license to pick up the goods!"

Zhang Yangquan agreed and left with Shen Qianqian and Shanzhu.

There was a small river one mile away from the canal. Everyone dismounted by the river. Zhang Yangquan immediately asked Shen Qianqian why he had not allowed himself to speak just now.

Shen Qianqian took out a brush from the saddle bag, led the horse to the river, and while brushing the horse, he said: "Other than you, no one will buy firecrackers, so there is no need to rush to speak now."< /p>

Zhang Yangquan walked next to her, looked at the clear river water, nodded and said: "I understand. In the afternoon, Kang Lian found that no one bought firecrackers. It will be cheaper if we buy them again!"

Shen Qianqian turned around and smiled: "That's right!"

Zhang Yangquan said again: "Then why do you want to buy armor, hard bows and other things? Our village is a little tight on buying fire guns and we really can't afford other things!"

In order to open those three shops, Shanzhai spent another 4,000 taels of silver. Counting the 2,000 taels obtained from wiping out the Shanzhai, there are now only more than 1,000 taels left.

Zhang Yangquan planned to sell some grain to buy firecrackers.

Shen Qianqian said calmly: "I bought that myself!"

"Why did you buy those things?" Zhang Yangquan asked curiously.

Shen Qianqian brushed his horse silently and said: "You should have guessed it if I didn't tell you. I bought Kang Lian myself and wouldn't sell it, so I came with you. In return, I can give you 20% of the purchase price." You!"

Zhang Yangquan was silent for a while, knowing that these supplies would either be sent to Xu Shouhui's rebel army, or the equipment would be sent to the Shen Family Nursing Home.

"That's not necessary, you have helped us so much, it doesn't matter if we help you back once."

Shen Qianqian turned around and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. If you don't have enough money to buy a firecracker later, I can lend it to you!"

Zhang Yangquan chuckled secretly: "I've been waiting for your words." He coughed and changed the subject: "You just said Kang Lian wouldn't sell you. Why is that?"

Shen Qianqian sighed and said: "Although Kang Lian is greedy for money, he is very cautious in doing things. These things will have been given to you, so it is most appropriate to sell them to you. If he sells them to others, if you know about it, why don't you bother him? ”

Zhang Yangquan smiled bitterly and said: "If we don't buy it, then we don't have to spend this unjust money!"

Shen Qianqian said calmly: "This is Kang Lian's cleverness. He knows that you are all greedy, so he used this method."

Zhang Yangquan nodded silently. He was greedy for these guns. If they were divided equally, he could only get four doors. If he bought them, he could get ten!

After a while, Shanzhu came over to report that Zhang Mingjian and Zheng Yongen had gone to Kang Lian's ship.

Zhang Yangquan was suddenly worried, fearing that Zhang Mingjian would buy the gun first.

Shen Qianqian seemed to see what he was thinking, raised her chin, and said, "Believe me, they won't buy it! For them, other things are more tempting!"

Another hour later, when the sky was getting dark, Boar came to report again. A deputy Qianhu under Miao Daheng came with a man in brocade robes.

The two of them came closer to check, and Shen Qianqian recognized the man in brocade robes as another big businessman in Jiangdu, and said: "Miao Daheng, who has a reputation of thousands of households, must have been bribed by that businessman."

Zhang Yangquan felt slightly strange and said: "Didn't Kang Lian have a disagreement with Miao Daheng? He actually sent someone to inform him, weren't he afraid that Miao Daheng would report him?"

Shen Qianqian was stunned for a while, then his expression suddenly changed. He took a deep breath and said, "Then there is only one possibility. Kang Lian is not afraid of being reported by Daheng Miao!"

The mountain pig's mouth sneered: "The person who instigated Kang Lian behind the scenes must be Boluo Buhua! He wants us to fight Taizhou for him, and he also wants to take the opportunity to extort some money from us!"

Zhang Yangquan nodded silently. It seems that in the future, the order of house raids will still be Zhennan Palace.

At dusk, after Shen Qianqian confessed some words to Zhang Yangquan, they visited Kang Lian again.

"Why are you two here again? Could it be that something unexpected happened?" Kang Lian frowned, not looking very welcoming this time.

Zhang Yangquan said: "I went to sell some properties in the morning and plan to buy some more goods."

Kang Lian raised his brows and said happily: "Okay, okay, please come with me." He then led the two of them to the big ship at the back and said: "Almost all are sold, only eight fire guns are left, and four are back. Cannons, three thousand spears, and a thousand bronze bones."

Seeing that the fire gun was still there, Zhang Yangquan gave Shen Qianqian an approving look and said according to what Shen Qianqian just told him: "Except for the fire gun, I want them all."

Kang Lian was overjoyed, and then he glanced at the firecrackers and said with a smile, "Why don't you buy these firecrackers as well? I'll count you down."

Zhang Yangquan frowned and said, "Please tell me the price, and I'll see if I have enough money to buy it."

Kang Lian hurriedly said: "A spear costs five cents apiece, a bronze bone flower costs eight cents apiece, a cannon costs three hundred taels apiece, and a firecracker originally cost eight hundred taels apiece, so I'll give you four hundred taels."

Zhang Yangquan deliberately looked embarrassed and said: "Okay then, I only need spears, bronze bones and fire blunderbuss, but no more cannons."

Kang Lian said anxiously: "No, Hui Hui Pao can be sold at half price!"

Zhang Yangquan said again: "Then I want Huihui Pao, but I don't want Tongguduo."

Kang Lian glared and said: "The bronze bone flower can be purchased for 80% of the price!"

Just as Zhang Yangquan was about to speak again, Kang Lian snorted and said, "If Zhang Qianhu says he doesn't want a spear again, it's just for entertainment. I'd rather not sell it!"

Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "If so, then it's settled, I want the rest."

Kang Lian said happily: "Very good, very good! I'll write a price list for you, so that you can't remember it unclearly." He ordered someone to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write down what Zhang Yangquan bought, and then added the price. The service was attentive. And thoughtful.

Zhang Yangquan took it and took a look. It added up to more than ten thousand taels of silver. Except for the fire blunderbuss, which he needed, Shen Qianqian bought the others.

The eight-door firegun cost three thousand two hundred taels of silver. Although the village could still raise it by selling some grain, Zhang Yangquan still shamelessly asked Shen Qianqian to borrow it.
