The basic framework of the construction of Nanhai City has been completed. The commercial center built by the Chamber of Commerce was the first to be completed. There are still many supporting facilities to be improved. Fortunately, the population of Nanhai is not large at present, mainly consisting of local natives and construction workers, so there is no rush.

“Your Excellency, Kenjiro from Fusang has sent a letter.”

Zhou Wu took the letter and read it. It turned out that Kenjiro wanted to come and conduct an on-site inspection, and also to discuss the procurement of arms.

Last time, the Great Dragon Kingdom disposed of all its inferior stock of swords and knives to the Black Tooth Kingdom, and now there are hardly any weapons left in stock.

Moreover, Kenjiro probably wouldn't even look at inferior weapons. Although Japan can't compare to the Great Dragon Kingdom, it's still far ahead of the Black Tooth Kingdom.

At this moment, Zhou Wu was personally testing the musket when he suddenly remembered that the Qingyang Army used to be equipped with repeating crossbows.

"Lady Lin, where are the repeating crossbows you were issued before?"

"Sir, after we got the muskets, the repeating crossbows were put into storage."

"Oh, great."

. . . . . . .

Kenjiro had never been on a ship for so long before; the South China Sea was far from Japan.

Fortunately, he grew up by the sea, otherwise he might not have been able to hold on.

"Welcome, Kenshiro."

"Lord Zhou Wu, this land is truly fertile."

Kenjiro's casual remark immediately put Zhou Wu on guard; indeed, this nation was full of aggression.

Zhou Wu has never liked Fusang, whether in his past life or this one. However, since his own strength is currently limited, he can only instigate internal strife in Fusang first, then earn more of their money to develop and strengthen himself.

"Haha, the South China Sea is just a barren land for the Great Dragon."

Zhou Wu's statement was partly true and partly false; the barrenness was simply because the area had not yet been fully developed.

Kenjiro's purpose in coming here was very clear: to purchase some advanced weapons and equipment. Since he currently had a limited number of troops, he could only improve his combat effectiveness by acquiring new equipment.

To achieve his goal, Kenshiro hauled a whole ship full of silver.

"Lord Zhou Wu, let me be frank. The reason I've come to you is to purchase the advanced weapons and equipment of the Great Dragon Empire. I beg you."

Zhou Wu liked his straightforwardness.

"Okay, then I'll take you to see it first."

Zhou Wu was straightforward; he tried to be direct as much as possible without being long-winded.

A martial arts arena was built when Nanhai City was first established, and Zhou Wu took Kenshiro and his party there directly.

The training ground was already prepared. Zhou Wu had arranged all the weapons and equipment he could bring out for a static display.

Of course, there will also be live demonstrations, which will allow visitors to understand its power and function more intuitively.

Zhou Wu also displayed ordinary cold weapons and armor, even though they might not sell, but what if they did?

How much for these weapons and armor?

Zhou Wu underestimated the other party's purchasing desire. Although Japan's development level was not as high as that of the Great Dragon, its technology for ordinary cold weapons was not a problem at all. However, Kenjiro's camp did not have a blacksmith yet, and the existing weapons were all purchased from other forces, so their quality was definitely not as good as that of the Great Dragon.

"How much are these spears for Lord Zhou Wu?"

The swords of the Great Dragon Kingdom are fundamentally different from those of the Fusang Kingdom, so although Kenshiro admires their quality, he probably wouldn't be used to them by his own soldiers. However, when it comes to spears, the two countries are about the same.

"These spears are made of refined steel, unlike ordinary ones, so they are slightly more expensive... The price is five taels of silver per spear."

The price Zhou Wu quoted startled Deng Yuanliang, who was standing next to him. If he remembered correctly, the cost of this spear was only two strings of cash. This price was twenty-five times higher. What a swindler! Absolutely a swindler.

Everyone knows that Zhou Wu's business was previously managed by Deng Yuanliang, who secretly called him a cunning businessman. But now he realizes what it means to be outmaneuvered.

The price quoted by Zhou Wu really startled Kenjiro. You should know that in Japan, a spear is worth at most one guan of silver. But after hearing Zhou Wu's explanation, he felt that five taels of silver was worth it.

Moreover, the spear is the most suitable weapon for Japanese soldiers. It is not difficult to learn and can be used when training new recruits. Therefore, the spear is a must-buy for Kenshiro.

“Alright, I’ll take Lord Zhou Wu’s price. I want three thousand spears, but I have one condition: I must take them with me when I leave.”

Zhou Wu quickly turned around to look at Lin Niangzi, who naturally understood what he meant and quickly whispered in his ear.

"My lord, we should be able to gather three thousand spears. When we get them, we can replace the old ones with new ones. The soldiers here will be overjoyed."

"Jiro-kun, I will do my best to support your cause."

Zhou Wu feigned a troubled expression, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He sold three thousand old spears for fifteen thousand taels of silver.

"Lord Zhou Wu, thank you."

Kenjiro bowed deeply, feeling a pang of guilt towards Zhou Wu.

"Jiro-kun, we also have some superior armor. Would you like to take a look? This armor is made using the Great Dragon Hundred Refinement Technique and can withstand damage from arrows and swords."

The Great Dragon's armor was real metal armor, completely different from the rattan armor of Japan. Kenshiro naturally liked it and wished he could equip all his soldiers with such armor, so they could definitely walk sideways in Japan.

"Lord Zhou Wu, how much is this armor?"

"This price is a bit high, but it's a piece of cake for you. Each set of armor is two thousand taels of silver."

"what!"

Although Kenjiro was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the price.

"Lord Zhou Wu, this price is far too expensive."

"Jiro, this price already includes the cost. Look at the craftsmanship of this armor, the carvings, the details, and the materials. It's all handmade, made of 18K synthetic metal, and ergonomically designed to fit snugly against every inch of your skin. Even with such heavy armor, you won't feel any burden wearing it..."

Zhou Wu transformed into a top salesman, launching into a long and rambling sales pitch that left Kenjiro completely bewildered. Kenjiro immediately stopped thinking the armor was expensive and even felt that Zhou Wu was taking advantage of him at a loss.

"I'll take fifty sets of these, and I'll take them with me when I leave."

"no problem."

One hundred thousand taels of silver were obtained.

Kenshiro wasn't actually without a concept of money; it's just that his mindset changed after he acquired silver from his fiefdom.

It's like playing a game. When you play normally, you're extremely frugal, but when you cheat and enter a password for money, you'll definitely click the mouse like crazy and buy, buy, buy.
