"Are you really planning to keep him?" Roger said with some worry, looking at John in the distance who was caressing a newly produced C64 field gun.
"That's right. At least he's here to ride on the wall. Since I'm more optimistic about my side, he can still be used." Tang Mo also looked at John's back over there and replied thoughtfully.
Roger reminded Tang Mo with some worry: "We are now short of 100,000 gold coins, and it seems that we have to find another way to make subsequent procurement plans."
"In fact, our investments in other workshops have achieved great success. Relying on the refining methods you provided, the glass workshop in Bunas has improved, and the glass they refined has opened up sales in many places.
"As he spoke, Roger began to tease Tang Mo.
In his opinion, this may be a great irony to Tang Mo: in addition to the most profitable arms business, Tang Mo's other investments are also making profits.
And it is very likely that in the future, Tang Mo will rely on these civilian daily miscellaneous workshops to support his military industry enterprise.
Therefore, he laughed as he spoke: "The cement factory also won a big contract to use materials for repairing city walls and houses in Bunas... Although this is just a matter of a word from the mayor, it is indeed
It made you a lot of profit.”
Seeing Tang Mo's embarrassed look, Roger became even happier: "At the cloth workshop, the new dyeing method you have invested in as a partner has also achieved remarkable results. They have already prepared to purchase two steam engines to drive their looms.
Increased production.”
After speaking, he patted Tang Mo on the shoulder: "Salt and other trades have also brought you more than 30 gold coins in dividend profits, but... obviously for you now, these can only be regarded as
A small profit."
"No matter how little it is, it is still money! I am very short of money now! I have no good solution now. The count has purchased 3,000 grenades. If he starts training to use these weapons, he will purchase at least 3,000 more. This
This may be our biggest order recently." Tang Mo smiled and then twisted his neck. The weather was no longer so cold. Tang Mo no longer needed to wear that very good quality fur coat.
Already.
However, the caring eldest lady of the Luo Ning family sent another scarf. It seemed that the stitching was a bit messy, and it was a bit irritating for Tang Mo to wrap it around his neck.
He adjusted it to make his neck more comfortable, then changed the topic and asked Leo on the other side: "How is the officialdom of Bunas?"
"Things are going very smoothly. With our support, there have been no loopholes in Bunas' taxation in the past three years. It is impossible for those fat-headed envoys to see any problems." Leo reported very proudly.
.
In this regard, he is simply professional. The entire operation was arranged, and the entire Bunas seemed to be impeccable.
He confidently explained every aspect of the countermeasures: "As you know, we transferred more than 100 soldiers to fill the holes in the city defense army, pretending to be others, and helped Sheriff Sauron fill the holes. In the warehouse
There are a sufficient number of flintlocks, and every long sword has been refurbished."
"Bunas' population growth ranks among the best, the market is in good order, and all industries are thriving..." When he said this, there was even a smile in his voice: "There is not even a beggar to be seen on the streets, and gangsters and
Even the gangsters can't find it, and the security here may be better than in the royal city."
"If the officials here are unqualified, then there will be no qualified officials in the kingdom." After saying that, he looked at Tang Mo, waiting for Tang Mo's response.
Tang Mo laughed and was very satisfied with his work: "Hahaha, I think the mayor and Sauron should both thank me."
"I really should thank you. You also helped them get a bribe of 200 gold coins... Mr. Special Envoy is almost like a blind man now. He eats and drinks for free in the brothel every day and almost sleeps with all the girls there." Roger.
He snorted with some disdain, he looked down on such corrupt officials.
Tang Mo didn't take it seriously, and even liked such an official to a large extent: "This is good news, isn't it? If he is willing to walk around, I'm really afraid that he will see the chimneys that are connected here.
"
"Cyric is too rotten. It allows people like this to take the lead. It just gives me more time to develop." After speaking, he said to the two of them: "We must put an end to such rot, otherwise no matter what,
Even if it is powerful, it will collapse and become a pile of ruins..."
Just as he said this, John came back from a distance. His face looked a little uncomfortable because he really saw Tang Mo's new weapon.
When he saw the new breech-loading cannon, he knew that his father might have miscalculated. It was obviously not a rational act to offend such an arms dealer who had many new weapons.
It's like a certain noble can't think of offending Cyric now. Everyone knows what the consequences will be.
So, he walked up to Tang Mo and asked: "Master, I, I think I should write a letter to my father and persuade him... so that he can..."
"Okay!" Tang Mo nodded and agreed to John's request: "But I really don't have a ship to send the letter back for you, so... you may have to find a way on your own."
"..." John felt that he had suffered 9999 critical damage, and for a moment he was so heartbroken that he could not speak.
He felt that if he continued like this, he might choke to death from Tang Mo's words. So he decided to struggle again, gritted his teeth and said: "I won't say anything that shouldn't be said, I'm just persuading.
, you can watch me write..."
"I said that it is your freedom if you wish to write a letter home, and I will not interfere." Tang Mo replied seriously: "I really don't have a ship to send your letter back to the Yangmu Kingdom."
He spread his hands and looked helpless: "During the next monsoon, my fleet will go south with the goods and send my products to the big port of Venaldo further south for sale. I won't care if there is one less ship.
Thousands of gold coins could be lost."
"So, you can wait until the Yangmu Kingdom's merchant fleet arrives in Bunas and ask someone to take your letter back. I think... this may be the fastest way." After saying that, Tang Mo took the photo.
Take a picture of John who is standing there, with "Brother, I've tried my best, I can only help you get here" written all over his face.
"..." John felt that his chest seemed to hurt, as if a certain organ was beating too fast. He touched his heart, and it took him a long time to resist the urge to swear.
He had no way of knowing whether the Yangmu Kingdom's fleet would come to Bunas next time, because that would be almost ten months later.
When his letter reaches the Poplar Kingdom and his father changes his mind, it will take almost 15 months... Who can afford to wait this time?
Besides, now that his warship has been impounded, whether the Yangmu Kingdom's fleet still has the courage to dock in Bunas is another question mark.
If they don't come after waiting for more than a year, then when will this letter of mine be delivered to my father?
"You, you better think carefully about how you can gain my trust and contribute your own strength, so that you can make yourself more valuable, allow the Augustine family to sit on the fence better, and save your father's life that may not be saved.
!" Tang Mo changed his tone and suggested to John.
John was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it seemed that he had not changed his position. He should be Tang Mo's staff now, and it seemed that he no longer needed to consider his family.
Although he is still a little unaccustomed to it, John still feels that Tang Mo's words seem to make sense. If he has always been an outsider here and is treated differently, then what wall will the Augustine family have to stand on in the future?
After thinking about this relationship, he became frustrated again. In theory, he was actually much stronger than other nobles, but at this time he found that he didn't seem to have any skills that could help Tang Mo.
He was just a ship escort in navigation. Although he had some experience, it was obviously impossible for Tang Mo to leave the fleet to him to command.
Because these ships, and most of the elves on board, are his old subordinates, in this case, he is very likely to take away Tang Mo's fleet.
Although he was somewhat skilled in combat skills, compared with Westager, he was not good enough. Obviously, Tang Mo would not be able to leave his troops to him to manage.
He was good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but it was obviously impossible for Tang Mo to be tempted by these things.
At this moment, Tang Mo's voice came to his ears: "Seeing as you don't know anything else, then help me with the casino business."
"Huh?" John felt that his little brain was a bit insufficient.
"I'll give you some novel ways to play. Follow my instructions and set up casinos, clubs, bathhouses, etc..." Tang Mo felt that it was necessary to add some new and different things to Bunas. Pai Gow Mahjong Four
Color cards, dice poker, baccarat... these are also good ways to make money.
"..." John really couldn't believe that what finally made him appear useful was something he had learned through so many years of debauchery.
"Built Bunas into a gold shopping cave, so that people from all over the world can come here and find what they want to play!" Tang Mo spread his hands and said excitedly: "What do you think? This is a good idea.
Bar?"
"What you want to do is pretend to be a noble, sell these gameplays, and make everyone accept them!" Tang Mo patted John on the shoulder and ordered.
"I am originally a noble!" John explained in a voice as loud as a mosquito.
