Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 332: Here Comes the Money Giver
Benjamin gestured for a long time before Zhou Jianbo understood what he meant.

There happened to be seafood to be sent to the capital, so Zhou Jianbo dispatched an iron-clad warship to lead Benjamin's fleet to the capital.

This time, Benjamin really saw the horror of the iron-clad warship. The speed of going upstream was astonishingly fast, while their boat was surprisingly slow. He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he made up his mind to get the iron-clad warship no matter what. .

……

this day.

Li Changfeng is having a seafood feast with Emperor Qianwu in the palace, and discussing the railway construction project by the way.

"I think your suggestion is very good. Two railways should be laid, running in opposite directions. This will greatly improve the efficiency of train operation."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Qianwu took a bite of the big lobster in his hand, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Li Changfeng sucked in a fresh oyster and said vaguely, "Father, do you have any money?"

Emperor Ganwu's face suddenly collapsed.

Now Dagan's economy is developing rapidly, tax revenue is getting higher and higher, but military expenditures are also increasing significantly, and with the construction of railways, the treasury really can't afford money.

Emperor Ganwu sighed: "We must find a way to earn more money."

At this moment, a young eunuch ran to Gao Dali with small steps and whispered a few words.

Gao Dali showed joy, stepped forward and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, those foreign people have come, and they said they drove a dozen large ships, and the leader is waiting at the gate of His Highness's mansion."

Li Changfeng laughed loudly and said, "Here comes the money giver!"

Then he got up and cupped his hands: "Father, my son is leaving first."

After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether Emperor Qianwu agreed or not, he just left.

Emperor Qianwu looked at the leaving figure with a complicated expression.

In the whole work, he was not as rich as his son. The key point was that he made money with his real skills, and he couldn't find any faults. He didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

Anyway, Li Changfeng was very happy at this time.

All the goods he sells are not available elsewhere, he has the pricing power, and he has the final say on how much he wants to earn.Benjamin came here in a dozen cargo ships, just to deliver money.

So when he saw Benjamin he was very happy and gave him a big hug with his arms wide open.

"Oh, my dear Mr. Benjamin, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

While speaking, he slapped Benjamin on the back several times.

Seeing Li Changfeng's enthusiasm, Benjamin was also very happy. He laughed loudly and said, "Oh, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I am very happy to see you too!"

Li Changfeng let go, and shook hands with Jack enthusiastically.

"We meet again, Jack!"

Jack was a little flattered, and quickly bowed: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"

Letting go, Li Changfeng looked at Hebrew.

"Who is this gentleman?"

Benjamin quickly introduced: "Honorable Ninth Prince, this is the Hebrew Count of our Germanic Empire, and he is going to your country as an envoy of our country."

Li Changfeng was a little surprised, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Welcome to you, Mr. Earl Hebrew."

Hebrew was a little surprised by Li Changfeng's fluent foreign language. He shook his hand and asked, "How do you know our language?"

"Learn it."

Naturally, Li Changfeng would not tell him that he learned it in his previous life, so he made a fool of himself, and dragged the three of them out of the mansion towards Dian Dude.

These are the three Gods of Wealth, they must be greeted.

On the way, Benjamin said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, I saw your iron-clad warship, which is really majestic. Can you sell me some of them? Don't worry about the price, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Hearing this, the Earl of Hebrew couldn't help pricking up his ears.

If he can buy such an advanced warship and bring it back to the Germanic Empire for dismantling and research, it will surely enable the empire's shipbuilding technology to achieve leapfrog development. This trip is tantamount to making great contributions.

He had intended to bring it up himself.

But considering that this might involve Daqian's strategic-level technology, it would be inconvenient to buy it in his capacity, so he entrusted this task to Benjamin.

In this regard, Li Changfeng had already thought up his speech.

Without any hesitation, he nodded directly and said, "Of course my friends, as long as you can afford the money."

As soon as the words fell, both Benjamin and Hebrew showed joy.

Benjamin was about to inquire about the price, but Li Changfeng showed a regretful look, and then said, "But not for now."

The smile on Benjamin's face froze, and he asked: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, why is this?"

"Because we're not producing enough for ourselves right now."

Li Changfeng said sincerely: "This is the latest shipbuilding technology we have worked hard on. So far, we have only built five ships. It is far from enough to equip our navy alone."

Both Benjamin and Hebrew couldn't help but nodded.

Although ironclad warships are very strong, five ships are not enough to equip a powerful empire.

Dagan has such a technology, so he must first keep an eye on his own country.

Hebrew thought more than a pure businessman like Benjamin, he immediately realized that the Dagan Navy would definitely become the strongest navy in the world in the future.

He secretly rejoiced that the distance between the Germanic Empire and Dagan was very far away, otherwise the Germanic Empire would face tremendous pressure.

Li Changfeng patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My dear friend, you can rest assured that after I deliver the order for the Dagan Navy, I will definitely build it for you. You can have as many ships as you want."

Li Changfeng's words are somewhat watery.

Emperor Qianwu actually has no plan to build ships to expand the navy because the treasury is empty.

However, Li Changfeng's shipyard is indeed very busy, building larger and stronger iron-clad ships, and there is really no time for Benjamin to build them.

And even if he had that time, he wouldn't sell it to Benjamin in a short time.

He must keep Dagan at the most advanced level and keep other countries behind. He will not sell this backward thing until he comes up with a new ship that completely replaces steam-powered ships.

Benjamin was overjoyed, and quickly said: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, when you complete the order, you must make it for me first, and I can pay you a deposit in advance!"

He has made up his mind that when the time comes, he must seize the opportunity and build enough armored warships, so that he can run wild on the sea and make more profits.

Li Changfeng didn't care about the deposit or the deposit for this kind of exclusive business, and directly refused: "Mr. Benjamin, we are all old friends, and my prince does not need your deposit. You can rest assured that outside of the big work, the first The one with an iron-clad warship must be you!"

"Haha, good! Great! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Benjamin was overjoyed, and Hebrew was also looking forward to it.

At this time, Jack interjected: "Your Highness, when we entered the city, we noticed a giant steel dragon sailing into the capital. May I ask what it is?"
