Yang Xianxian once served as the captain of the special labor brigade during the civilized city creation activities, and he also had a relationship with Zhao Ran. Because of his performance during the transformation, he was praised by Zhao Ran.
However, a former captain of the special labor brigade was not qualified to sit across from Zhao Ran. The fact that he was able to sit opposite Zhao Ran and drink tea today was due to the general trend of the sea.
The whiteboard was put up and the subtitles were printed: "Thank you, Abbot Zhao, for meeting me. I am very frightened."
Although it was not the first time he saw this whiteboard, Zhao Ran was still very curious. He wanted to know the secret behind the whiteboard last year, and wanted to know it even more today. But this kind of thing must be asked at the right time, otherwise he would say
If you don't do it well, it will hurt the other person's self-esteem, not to mention that today's matter is so important that you can only suppress this thought temporarily.
"We haven't even passed the 15th anniversary yet, but we're here as early as the first year. The New Year hasn't passed yet, right?"
The whiteboard replied: "I set off on the second day of the new year. The road was peaceful, but it soon became uneven, so I had to come earlier. I originally wanted to set off years ago, but I was delayed a bit in order to wait for Lingsulfur and Malachite.
day."
"Very good. How many did you bring this time?"
"Half a ship, about 50,000 kilograms. Any more will be very difficult. In the next few months or even a year, I'm afraid we will be out of stock. Ling'ao Island has blocked the waterway and prohibits everyone from going to Sulfque Island for mining. My island owner said,
I will also try to find it from other places, such as Zhepu Island and Luoyuan Island, which produce some, but the distance is far, the yield is not high, and there are many impurities, so sorting is a bit difficult."
Zhao Ran encouraged: "Your island owner is interested. How is Tingfeng Island owner doing lately?"
Subtitles were printed on the whiteboard: "Not very good. The Three Luoye Islands are under too much pressure from Ling'ao Island. During the island owners' meeting, my family did not agree with the joint resistance against the Daomen, but we are weak..."
Change the subtitles: "... Wutong and my family have always had some disagreements, so they have always been considering the three Luoye Islands. Fortunately, in the alliance, there are also several island owners who have good relations with Luoye Island who are firmly opposed to it..."
Continue to change the subtitles: ... Wutong didn’t attack my house.”
Rong Niang was watching from the side and suddenly stood up: "You guys talk, I'll go see what's prepared for lunch."
The subtitles begin: "Thank you, madam!"
Rong Niang bit her lip forcefully and left the living room. When there was no one around, she couldn't help it any longer. She covered her mouth and laughed until she couldn't stand up straight.
In the living room, Zhao Ran continued to ask: "How powerful is this island owner alliance?"
The subtitles begin: "Seven families on the big island, twenty-eight families on the small island. Five ships with a thousand materials, more than eighty ships with a load of five hundred, and countless ships with less than three hundred materials."
This was the first time that Zhao Ran had grasped the exact number of the so-called island owner alliance, and Zhao Ran quickly wrote it down.
“How many islands are there that haven’t joined yet?”
"There are thousands of island owners in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. No one has calculated it. Maybe an island owner today will die tomorrow. After death, there will be two more island owners, three island owners, or even more...
…”
Change the subtitles: "... Or maybe there are three or five island owners, and only one will be left in a few days. This kind of thing is meaningless. Just like our Fallen Leaf Island, it was only consolidated into one place thirteen years ago.
It’s all thanks to Ting Feng’s hard work alone.”
Zhao Ran nodded: "Advanced, your news is very important. What are your requirements for meeting Pindao this time?"
Yang Xianjin typed out the subtitles: "We at Luoye Island would like to ask Abbot Zhao, will the Jimingguan system for issuing maritime trade licenses be cancelled?"
The question is about the maritime trade license system, but in essence it is about Daomen’s determination to deal with maritime issues.
Zhao Ran immediately said categorically: "The sea trade license system will not change. No one should have this unrealistic idea."
Yang Xianxian was silent for a moment and typed out subtitles: "Before coming to Luoye Island, we discussed it. If it is possible to abolish the sea trade license, my family will not ask for anything. Business should be done. Otherwise, my family has hope -"
Change subtitles: "I hope Abbot Zhao can sell Luoye Island a batch of battle armor and magic weapons."
Zhao Ran thought for a long time and said, "Stay in my Chunfeng Langyuan for a few more days."
Yang Xianxian typed out the subtitle: "What a blessing."
On the second day of the Lantern Festival, Zhao Ran made an emergency appointment with Lu Xixing and relayed Luo Xing's request to Luoye Island.
Lu Xixing asked: "What do Zhiran think?"
Zhao Ran said: "We now know that the battles on the sea have used a large number of battle armor and magic weapons, such as magic crossbows, magic shields, etc., which the island owners have. Although our Taoist sect has always been very strict in control.
, but they have their own sources. As Yang Xianjin said, the ballistas and armor of Luoye Island were purchased from the peninsula south of Shiwanda Mountain. He said that many countries there, such as Siam and Champa, all
It is very powerful. Further to the west, there is Tianzhu. There are even monk workshops on Bamboo Leaf Island that can repair and make simple magic weapons."
Lu Xixing said: "But the quality is not high, not as good as what we produce."
Zhao Ran said: "Whether it's good or not is another matter. The question now is that Luoye Island has shown their willingness to rely on Taoism. Should we reject it or support it?"
"Do you think Zhiran should support it? How to ensure that after Luoye Island gets these military armors, they won't use them against us? In fact, they are originally from the same den as the snakes and rats of Ling'ao Island?"
"I can't guarantee that the possibility you mentioned does exist, Senior Brother Lu. Now we can only weigh the pros and cons. After giving them military armor, if we trust them wrongly, how much trouble will it cause. If they can be trusted, the gains will be
What? Let’s compare them and see which one is more risky or more rewarding.”
Lu Xixing thought about it for a moment and said, "Invite Tang Yaozu to come and advise us together. Sanqing Pavilion should have more experience in this area."
After Tang Yaozu joined, he immediately expressed his support for the delivery of military armor to Luoye Island, and his attitude was very clear.
"In fact, the harm of this kind of thing can be controlled. When we sell military armor to Luoye Island, we can put forward conditions to them, station monks on the island, teach them how to use Taoist military armor, and control the subsequent sales of activated array talismans.
Military armor magic weapons and array talismans can be supplied in batches and maintained for one or two battles. The monks stationed there evaluate their intentions and tendencies and decide whether to provide the next batch based on the evaluation results."
Zhao Ran looked at Tang Yaozu in surprise and tentatively said, "Hello?"
Tang Yaozu was confused: "What?"
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "It's okay. What do you think, Senior Brother Lu?"
Lu Xixing thought for a moment: "It seems feasible."
Zhao Ran said: "Then please help me, please?"
Both of them promised to report it to the cabinet immediately and seek approval from the superiors.
Two days later, Lu Xixing and Tang Yaozu both replied to Zhao Ran. Both Leixiao Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion agreed to the plan. Because it was the first time for the Taoist sect to do this, they hoped that they would be as careful and prudent as possible.
After getting Shang Fang's sword, Zhao Ran immediately returned to Chunfeng Langyuan and found Yang Xianxian.
