Liu Chang was surprised and happy, and almost forgot to bargain: "Did Ye Niang contact the Westerners? Is there really a foreign gun for sale?"

Mrs. Ye gently stroked Liu Chang's hand with her fingertips: "Did you agree to divide it into 55?"

Liu Chang immediately asked, "If you can really contact the Westerners, it would be okay to give half of this batch of salt to Mrs. Ye. But I have to buy Western firearms first."

As a maid at sea, Niangzi Ye can understand Liu Chang's urgent need for Western firearms. After all, Western artillery is much sharper than all kinds of firearms made by China. She immediately said: "Give me half of the salt tonight, and I will take you out to sea."

"Going to sea?" Liu Chang hesitated for a moment. Now he is the only one who takes care of the entire Panshi Village: "Going to sea?"

"That's right, foreigners are afraid that we will not dare to drive the boat into the river, so they stop outside the sea gulf and wait for us to pass." Mrs. Ye added: "Although they recognize silver and make money, it's best to bring more foreign silver over."

"I know!" Liu Chang was not afraid of the bad guy Ye's gangster: "After dinner, I went to sea with Niang Ye."

He had already thought about it and took out all the money he had in his hands to buy a batch of firearms. He suddenly laughed again: "Miss Ye, since you want to buy salt from me, please pay a batch of deposit from us."

Mrs. Ye grabbed the money bag tightly: "No, no, you owe a lot of fishing catches here, and you have to credit me for this batch of fishing salt first. How can I ask me to pay the deposit?"

But Liu Chang had found the lifeblood of Niang Ye: "Miss Ye, if you want to pay the next batch of private salt and still want to pay 55 to 50% off, please pay me a deposit, otherwise you can forget it."

Madam Ye hesitated for a while before finally agreeing to Liu Chang's condition: "It's not the next batch, at least the next batch is also the same. How much deposit is required?"

Liu Chang's conditions for opening up are not high: "One thousand silver dollars."

Mrs. Ye agreed: "Okay! The deal is completed. We must get half of the first three batches of private salts, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the head."

Liu Chang attached great importance to this batch of private salt escorted from Nanxi Shuai. He personally brought half of the Dragon Gun Shuai out of Panshi Village to take back the batch of salt.

Huo Qiu's face was filled with excitement: "Check it out, there are 83 stones in total. We agreed with the salt farm and we will come to them next time."

He talked about the situation of selling private salt this time: "We have been in this industry for more than ten years, and we have never been as powerful as we are today."

When he was selling private salt, he had to think about how to bribe the people on the official side, especially the inspectors, the green camp soldiers and the big and small people in the county who could do bad things. After finally getting it done, he could only look around like a dog-like person, just like a weasel crossing the street.

But today he blatantly pulled out the team, dozens of wheelbarrows, more than a dozen mule and horses, and more than two hundred people, and was in a huge position, but no one dared to come forward to take care of their affairs.

There were peace and safety all the way, and no one dared to provoke such powerful force. Several supervisors of the salt field had already arrived in Wenzhou City to report that they had been kidnapped by thieves and were all lost. At the same time, they were urging them to come and get the second batch of private salt as soon as possible.

As for their price, it is also extremely low, but it is much higher than the price of buying official salt in the public. Moreover, it is not necessary to be used by some big shots, and the salt field is already satisfied.

"Divid this batch of salt by Mrs. Ye, and then slowly settle the accounts! The next two batches of salt, no matter how much they pull, they will be divided into half!" Liu Chang was very authoritative in Nanxi whistle: "She has paid a deposit of 1,000 silver dollars!"

Huo Qiu just lowered his voice: "We are working so hard, wouldn't we have to work for Ge Wuye and the others? It's a loss to get half of them."

Liu Chang told him: "It's not a loss, no loss. Mrs. Ye contacted the Westerners for us. I'm going to go out to sea to buy a batch of foreign guns and come back."

Huo Qiu didn't have much knowledge, but he knew that Western firearms were extremely sharp, but he was fighting for his Nanxi whistle: "Check, we should have one of these foreign guns, right?"

Liu Chang nodded: "You have worked so hard to transport the salt back. How could it be reasonable without your portion? But I will take Chief Qu tonight and I will hand over this family to you!"

Although Qu Jie was the chief of the Dragon Gun, his talent was mediocre. Liu Chang was really worried that he would let Huo Qiu guard Panshi Village than to encounter any trouble.

When Huo Qiu heard Liu Chang let him guard his home, his eyes lit up immediately: "Don't worry, you'll be sure, absolutely foolproof!"

Eighty-three stones of private salt are nearly 10,000 pounds, and Mrs. Ye is also very straightforward. She doesn't want a fraction of it. She even transported forty stones as fishing salt, but she is unwilling to pay the one thousand silver coins: "I have some friendship with that foreigner, so I can pay some credit on him. After we get on the boat, I will help you beat the side drums, and then calculate the deposit carefully."

With the moonlight, the torches were lit again. Madam Ye took Liu Chang and Qu Jie to a speedboat together, and prepared to leave the Oujiang River estuary overnight. There were also a few of the most reliable and desperate warriors in the Dragon Gun Sent, who carried three thousand silver rounds with them.

This is the hard currency that Liu Chang used to pay for. As long as he bought a batch of Western guns, he would officially gain a foothold in this time and space.

The river flowed by, and the boat Ye's boat was very slow. Liu Chang saw a darkness and didn't know where he was going. The lady Ye next to him advised: "It's better to take a break first! It's not until dawn."

Liu Chang nodded: "When the time comes, please help Mrs. Ye wake me up!"

He and the brothers of Dragon Gunshu formed a circle. He snuggled on the deck and couldn't sleep. The brothers of Dragon Gunshu dared not sleep.

The sacks around them contained a total of three thousand silver dollars. Before the uprising, they would never touch so many silver dollars in their lifetime. Now they are on Ge Wu's boat, who dares to sleep?

It was not until the third and fourth o'clock that Liu Chang could barely fall asleep. Not long after he slept, he could hear the beautiful voice of Madam Ye: "Check it out, wake up! We are going to get on the foreign ship!"

Liu Chang wiped his eyes, but saw a Western sailboat not far away on the sea. It was not big in size, but much more advanced than the Chinese sailboat of Niangzi. There were white sails hanging on three masts, horizontally and firmly, and they could not count them, but they had a special beauty.

The sailboat sailed over in the morning light. After a while, the two sailboats were already close. A suspended cable was dropped from the Western sailboat. Mrs. Ye got on a sampan: "Check it out, let's go together, be careful, don't fall into the sea!"

Liu Chang lit up. This was the first time he rode a small sampan like this. He looked at the waves that floated from time to time, and watched the soldiers carefully holding the bags containing silver oceans and jumped onto the sampan: "Isn't this wave big?"

Mrs. Ye combed her hair with her slender fingers: "It depends on whether she has the courage to check her. If she falls into the sea, she will not be able to save her!"

With waves, Liu Chang watched the sampan approach the beautiful Western sailboat, and then Niang Ye was the first to jump onto the suspension cable and reached out to him: "Check..."

The sampan was floating on the sea, and Liu Chang boldly stretched out his hand and slowly climbed onto the sailboat step by step, still savoring the hand of Niangzi Ye in his heart.

A Western merchant with a boat hat had been waiting on the deck for a long time: "Hello! My friend, for the first time, I am Count Demons."
