Mao Chenglu, who was standing aside, said, "Entertainment father, the child thinks that if there are a few giant cannons on the island with the tiger flag, the tiger flag ship will come to Pi Island again in the future, and he will definitely be honest and dare not do the same as today, as he does today. Otherwise, the shelling of the island will be greeted."

"This is also a solution." Chen Zhong on the other side nodded and agreed.

As a military general, he envied the giant cannons on the Tiger Flag ship. If there were a few such giant cannons in Tieshan where he was, he would be more courageous in the face of the Later Jin Dynasty.

"I don't know what you said." Mao Wenlong said with a ugly face, "Do you know how much silver this giant cannon costs?"

"I remember the last time Xu Xuewu said that a huge cannon cost 10,000 taels of silver was bought from the Folang Ji people in Xiangshan Ao." Mao Chenglu said.

Mao Wenlong looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "Do you think Dongjiang Town can spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to Xiangshan Ao to buy giant cannons?"

"This..." Mao Chenglu didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver are not a small amount. With the current situation in Dongjiang Town, you can't afford so much silver at all.

"Sir, there is actually another way to get the cannon." Chen Zhong said.

Mao Wenlong and Mao Chenglu looked at Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong continued: "We don't have so much money to buy cannons in Dongjiang Town. We can let the court buy it. Even if the court cannot buy such giant cannons on the ship of the tiger-shaped flag, we can also let the court send several general cannons in Dongjiang Town."

"Yes, our Dongjiang Town has no money, so we can let the court spend money to get us a cannon." Mao Chenglu said.

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said, "I will submit a memorial and ask the court to send some cannons to Dongjiang Town. As for the giant cannons with the tiger flag, don't think about it. Unless the Ministry of Works can cast such giant cannons by itself, in this case, Dongjiang Town may get such giant cannons from the court."

Chen Zhong and Mao Chenglu showed a look of disappointment on their faces.

The general artillery of the imperial court and the giant artillery on the tiger flag ship are simply incomparable. There is a big gap in both range and power.

Mao Wenlong noticed the disappointed expressions on the faces of the two people.

However, he knew that there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for the court to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy giant cannons for Dongjiang Town. It was already very good that the court could even get artillery for Dongjiang Town.

He was like a mirror in his heart. Although Dongjiang Town had already opened a town, in the eyes of the court, the main force in the fight against the Later Jin Dynasty was still the important Liaodong towns such as Guangning. Although their Dongjiang Town was also very important, it was not very important to the court. At least there was still a big gap compared with Liaodong towns such as Guangning.

On the other hand, Xu Xuewu led two Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers to the pier, or it could be said that two personal soldiers were monitoring Xu Xuewu towards the pier.

After a previous round of shelling, panic appeared on the island.

Ordinary people hid in the cave, and only the soldiers from Pi Island were still cleaning up the houses destroyed by shelling on the island.

There were no more people on the ice chisel. When the cannons rang out, the people on the ice fled back.

"It's Captain Xu, Captain Xu is back."

Li Yao stared at the island with a monocular lens in his hand, and was the first to discover Xu Xuewu heading towards the dock.

Duan Ping picked up the monocular lens and looked at the island, and said coldly: "If they don't let Captain Xu come back, I'm going to let the gunners hit Pi Island again."

"It seems that the people in Dongjiang Town do not intend to break up with our tiger flag." Li Yao said.

Duan Ping nodded and immediately said, "Send someone to the island to pick up Captain Xu on the boat. As long as you get on the boat, the people of Dongjiang Town will not be able to do anything to us."

"I'll go!" Li Yao put down the monocular lens in his hand.

Duan Ping glanced at him and said, "Take a few musketeers with you. Remember, don't go ashore. Once you go ashore, you will easily become hostages in Dongjiang Town."

"I understand." Li Yao turned around and left the side of the boat.

Not long after, a small boat fell from the big boat to the sea. Li Yao and several musketeers rowed the boat to the dock.

When he arrived near the dock, he did not rush to get ashore, but waited on the boat for Xu Xuewu to come.

Several musketeers who came with him were holding muskets and aimed at the people on the island who were heading towards the dock.

Soon, Xu Xuewu brought Mao Wenlong's two personal soldiers to the dock, and there was also a team of Pidao soldiers coming together.

"Shopkeeper, Captain Duan sent me to pick you up."

Li Yao asked someone to put one end of the boat on the dock and waved to Xu Xuewu.

A personal soldier standing next to Xu Xuewu stopped Xu Xuewu who was about to move forward and said, "Without the order of the master, you can't leave the island for the time being, Manager Xu."

"Don't worry, I won't leave." The personal soldier who was talking to Xu Xuewu Chong said, and then said to Li Yao, "I'll tell Duan Ping to stop the gunner, don't fire the gun for the time being, and don't send people to the island, wait for my news on the boat."

"Yes." Li Yao agreed.

Xu Xuewu said: "You go back first, I will stay on the island and discuss with Lord Mao what to do next."

"Shopkeeper, please be careful." Li Yao said to Xu Xuewu, and then he asked him to row the boat and return to the big boat.

Xu Xuewu turned around and looked at the personal soldiers beside him and said, "You go back and tell Lord Mao, do you still want to continue to cooperate? If you don't cooperate in the future, I will get on the boat and will not be on Pi Island in the future."

The personal soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "You are waiting here, I'll go back and ask my elders."

After saying that, the personal soldier ran to the island.

Xu Xuewu, who was standing on the dock, wrapped his fur coat on his body, looked towards Pi Island.

He believed that Mao Wenlong would not refuse to cooperate with the tiger flag, otherwise, he would have been killed by Mao Wenlong as early as the bombardment of Pi Island and would not have been asked to come to the dock.

After waiting for a while at the pier, Chen Zhong jogged all the way from the island.

When he arrived at the dock, he said breathlessly: "Let Manager Xu wait for a long time."

"It's okay." Xu Xuewu waved his hand and said immediately, "Let's talk about the serious matter first."

"Okay." Chen Zhong nodded.

Xu Xuewu said: "Before bombarding Pi Island was a complete misunderstanding. Now the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, but the cooperation between the two companies still requires a correct statement. After all, the price of big wood has increased twice, so my tiger flag will not accept this price."

"I can understand it." Chen Zhong said, "The previous incident of the price increase of Damu was done by General Mao alone. The adults did not know about it. Because of this, the adults scolded General Mao fiercely."

"So, the price of big trees in Dongjiang Town will not increase?" Xu Xuewu asked.

Chen Zhong nodded and said, "If you don't raise the price, you should exchange the goods on your Tiger Flag according to the previous price."

"What about Kuandian?" Xu Xuewu asked again.

Chen Zhong said: "The Kuandian affairs will be handled according to the conditions you set by General Mao and Manager Xu, but in terms of military equipment, I hope Manager Xu will get them all together as soon as possible and send them to the island."

"This is no problem." Xu Xuewu agreed with a smile.
