Chapter 466 Big Deal 2

However, this year is slightly different. In addition to the two accountants, a group of technicians from Haihe Machinery Factory also came to the factory. In name, it was to inspect the sugar press, but in fact the machine was not fiddled with a few times, but several people were missing. I don't know where they went, let alone whether they will come back.

"How much inventory is there in the warehouse?" No, right after reporting that someone had purchased a large amount of artillery, before the accountant could say anything, a faint voice came from the wing, and a young man with a big head and a thin body swayed. Walked out.

"There are still seven or eight gates... seven gates, a thousand catties of gunpowder, and 200 cannonballs!" Suzaku glanced at the counting room first, trying to find clues on whether he should answer or not from his expression. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything. It was as if the accounting clerk didn't know anyone was coming out. He held a pen in his hand and stared at the paper, ready to record at any time.

Suzaku almost understands what the situation is now. These people in the future are likely to be higher in status, so don't wait to get the accountant's permission. Go ahead and say whatever you ask, even if you don't ask.

"Seventy-seven, go to the naval base immediately and ask Huang Qianhu how much stock there is in the Guangzhou base. If the quantity is not enough and needs to be deployed from Tianjin Guard, how many days will it take to transport it to Guangzhou? Remember to indicate that it is the first-class military intelligence of the General Staff Department .”

After hearing the accurate data, the big head turned to the side room and gave instructions. Immediately, a short young man came out. He waited for the accountant to write something on the paper, stamped it, picked it up and walked out. Didn't even look this way.

"Manager Zhu, are you sure the other party said they were going to deliver the goods on the sea in Zhejiang? The distance from Guangzhou to Zhejiang is not close, and there are navy ships patrolling along the way. If they are hit, wouldn't it be a waste of water?" At this time, the big head spoke again. , said to Suzaku.

"That's what Huang Jianwang of the Thirty-sixth Line said. The boat they used must have flown the flag of the Thirty-sixth Line. The black sailboats in the water village will not be inspected. This is how they used to transport private goods out to sea."

With the help of the light, Suzaku finally saw it clearly. The big head was not only big as the bald head, but also had a big mouth. Paired with the eyes, which were not small in the first place, but were a bit small due to the head, it looked very strange. The smile was even weirder, as if he had a strange disease, and there was misery in his smile.

"Li Zhi reported this matter to Shu alone back then, long live the Lord!" At this point, the accountant who had been recording the conversation suddenly stood up and whispered in the big head's ear. Unfortunately, the distance was too close, so Suzaku could still hear most of them.

"...Is it open to traffic, or limited to Guangzhou Guard?" The big head did not flinch at the mention of Long Live Lord, and asked again.

"Only under the rule of the Governor of Nanyang!" The accountant answered quickly and firmly.

"That is to say, the smuggling ship of the Thirty-sixth Line does not dare to cross the sea area between Guangzhou Wei and Zhejiang Wei. Is that right, Manager Zhu?" Then the big head smiled, chewing the rotten teeth in his mouth, Throwing the question to Suzaku.

"Uh... that's more or less what it means. I heard Huang Jianwang and his men tell the ships smuggling sugar to Japan not to go too far north, and always ask the other party's ships to go a little further south to meet them."

In just a few words, Suzaku changed his mind about Big Head. His big head is indeed not in vain, he is smarter than ordinary people. If someone hadn't mentioned it, I would never have realized the approximate delivery range of the Thirty-Six Smuggling Ships.

"Hmm... That's it. The supply of artillery will be confirmed tomorrow morning. Don't agree to the man named Huang yet, just say that the price will be doubled due to the large quantity and tight supply. Don't appear eager when you say it, and show whether you want to buy it or not. manner.

If the owner behind him still wants to buy, he will deliver the goods and collect money as usual. Based on your judgment, will they take risks during delivery and swallow up both the person and the goods? "This answer seemed to hit the big head. He clapped his hands together and was a little surprised. After pondering for a moment, he began to talk about the issues that need to be paid attention to in the transaction process. It was very detailed, even the emotions and expressions were thought of, and finally he even cared about Suzaku's Personal safety.

"Absolutely impossible! All deliveries have been made to a deserted island not far from the Navy's water village. The guys on board are also good players in the factory protection team. Huang Jianwang and Thirty-Six Hangs are both local businessmen. They have a family and a business. They have no business. So bold."

But Suzaku didn't feel grateful at all. He could guarantee that Big Head's question was not concerned about his own safety, but was 100% worried that the transaction could not be completed. As for why I think so, I can’t give a reason, it’s just an intuition.

I have been interacting or cooperating with the mysterious accountant for at least five or six years, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. There is nothing wrong with their expressions, demeanor, and tone, but the more times they meet, the more they feel a bone-chilling coldness, as if they are facing ghosts, lacking human emotions and just wearing human skin.

"Well, yes, Manager Zhang's analysis is right. Let's do this for now. I'll let you know as soon as the supply is available." Big Head smiled happily, pretending to be affectionate, reached out and patted Suzaku on the shoulder, and sent it to the door. .

"Then from now on Zhu and Thirty-Six Lines..." Zhuque wanted to hide, but his body refused to obey him, and he was about to step out, then he remembered that there was a question that he had to ask clearly.

"It's business as usual, don't make any changes. Remember, the sugar mill is the sugar mill, and we are us. There is no connection between the two. Even if the thirty-six lines become a major crime of disobedience tomorrow, it will not affect you at all, Manager Zhu. , put your heart in your belly!”

These words made Big Head stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with his rotten teeth flashing. He reached out again and patted Suzaku on the shoulder. He comforted her fiercely and sent him out of the room.

"How are you two, father-in-law? I caught a big fish as soon as I came here!" As soon as the door was closed, the appearance of the big head changed. The smile was still the same, but the level of elation was comparable to that of a clown on the stage. In addition to expressions, there were also movements. He leaned in front of the accountant who was writing with a pen and shook his head.

"It is indeed a big fish. Come, see it clearly for yourself, and then sign your name!" Despite his young age, the accountant was very determined. He was not affected in any way, and his expression did not change. He wrote two words quickly and pushed the paper away. Come over.

"...W-What do you mean?" The big head lowered his head and glanced twice, the smile gradually disappeared and was replaced by a look of astonishment.

"Just record it truthfully. By the way, this is Guangdong, not Nanhaizi. Don't bring out your bad habits! It doesn't matter if your identity is discovered. Anyway, there are more than a few hundred like you in the Haidu Division. If you miss it, Long Live the Lord Can you afford it?"

The accountant still had the same attitude of being indifferent and handed over the brush again. When the big head didn't answer, he immediately turned cold. Although his tone was still calm, his words and sentences were clearly full of accusations.
