It was just some leather armor and bamboo armor, and the price Hua Xiong offered was basically fifty times more than Daqian.
"make a deal!"
Philo agreed without thinking.
broken!
Hua Xiong slapped his thigh, damn, you were careless, you got it cheap!
He originally thought that the price he offered was already a sky-high price, and he was still waiting for Philo to counter-offer, but Philo actually agreed so quickly!
The one-eyed dragon on the side was not surprised. After all, which of these warlords in Luzon didn't have more than a dozen gold and silver mines?
(It should be noted here that the land area of Luzon in this world setting is still very large, far exceeding that of Ni Country.)
(The mineral reserves of various mineral veins in Luzon are not particularly large, but they are large in quantity and close to the surface, so gold is everywhere and gold is worthless.)
(Of course, this is also because few outsiders have set foot on this land for thousands of years, so gold is of no particular use to them.)
"Sir, how much do these ten pairs of fish scale armor cost?" Philo continued to ask.
Hua Xiong touched his chin and hesitated, then said: "One pair is a hundred catties of gold, ten pairs are a thousand catties of gold."
Originally these fish scales were given as gifts, but Hua Xiong saw that Philo was so generous, so it would be a pity not to sell them.
"No problem." Philo still didn't hesitate.
In fact, the reason why Philo was so cheerful was because he was worried that Hua Xiong would sell these things to other warlords.
After all, Luzon does not have these armors. If they were all in his hands, he would be the most powerful warlord in Luzon.
So even if he spends more money, he won't lose money as long as he can buy out Da Gan's supply of armor and weapons. Anyway, he is not short of gold.
At this time, Hua Xiong's smile was almost crooked, and he quickly said: "Brother Philo, now that you've finished looking at the armor, how about we take a look at our weapons?"
Philo nodded quickly, looking expectant.
Soon, some soldiers brought up weapons one after another. They were all the most common weapons, including Dagan's long swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows, as well as many broken Japanese swords.
These weapons are basically defective products. The blades are either curled or the gun heads are broken. Even the shields have holes and dents. If they are to be put into Daqian, they will need to be remelted in the furnace.
Only the bows and arrows were relatively normal, but they were also the most ordinary wooden bows, and the arrows were still rusty.
Despite this, these things are rare treasures for the Luzon people, and they are better than the wooden spears and bamboo arrows in their hands.
As for whether the blade is curled or not, they don't care at all, as long as it can kill people, since everyone is naked, they don't worry about breaking the armor.
There was no trace of disgust on Philo's face, but he was very satisfied.
"Sir, how much do these weapons cost?"
"These weapons are in a mess, so I won't tell you the details. Anyway, there are more than three thousand weapons in total, so I'll give you three thousand kilograms of gold!" Hua Xiong said with a generous look.
"Thank you, sir!" Philo was overjoyed and extremely moved.
"It doesn't matter, we are all brothers." Hua Xiong said with a smile. In a short time, he exchanged a pile of rags for several thousand kilograms of gold. This was a great deal.
"Sir, please bring more next time. I want as many good things as this." Philo said again.
Hua Xiong was stunned. He came with the mentality of exploring the road this time, and he did not bring many weapons and equipment.
But judging from the appearance of Philo's cottage, there are only about 3,000 people. These weapons and equipment should be able to arm these more than 3,000 people, right?
But remembering what Yang Xun and Qi Jiguang said, Hua Xiong immediately shook his head and said: "Brother, this may be the only time I'm here. These things should be enough for you!"
Yang Xun's plan was to first find a more powerful warlord to cooperate with, but Philo only had more than 3,000 people, so he definitely did not meet the conditions. When Hua Xiong came next time, he would definitely not land here. Cooperation with Philo Maybe it's the last time.
Upon hearing this, Philo immediately became anxious: "Sir, no, I have as much gold as you want. I am really short of weapons and equipment!"
Hua Xiong was stunned and immediately said: "Brother Philo, I think you only have more than 3,000 men. These weapons and equipment should be enough, right?"
"Sir, I am one of the most powerful warlords in Luzon. How can I only have 3,000 men under my command? To tell you the truth, a city like this... oh no, I still have ten cottages like this. There are more than 50,000 people under his command."
As he spoke, a look of pride appeared on Philo's face.
More than 50,000 people?
Hua Xiong was also quite surprised. He really underestimated this guy. So Philo met the conditions for cooperation.
"And with these weapons of yours, my territory will be further expanded. As long as I have territory, I will have more people! So sir, I really want to cooperate with you for a long time!" Philo said bitterly. Face said.
Hua Xiong pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not impossible to cooperate with our Daqian, but..."
"Sir, if you have any conditions, just tell me!"
Hua Xiong thought for a while and held out two fingers: "We have three conditions. First, you need to pay tribute to Da Gan. The tribute is not much. 50,000 kilograms of gold and 5,000 slaves are enough every year. The slaves only need women. .”
Philo nodded. This condition is not too harsh. Gold is nothing. As for slaves, as long as his territory can be expanded, five thousand slaves are nothing.
"Second, you have to carve out a territory for us to station troops in Luzon..."
Before Hua Xiong finished speaking, Philo said excitedly: "I agree, I agree to all your conditions!"
What is Daqian? That is the Kingdom of Heaven. It is simply an honor for Daqian to station troops on his territory!
And since Da Gan’s army is here, he can ask Da Gan for help if he needs anything, right?
After all, they are partners, so Da Gan can't let anything happen to him, right?
So he couldn't ask for Daqian to garrison troops on his territory!
Hua Xiong smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that his goal of this trip would be accomplished so quickly.
"If we are to garrison, we need to build a fortress. In terms of manpower..."
"I'll do it!" Philo said quickly.
"Then the cloth and tea we brought this time..."
"I buy it, I want it all."
"Thank you so much, Brother Philo!"
After coming out of Philo's cottage, Hua Xiong told Hu Sanshui beside him: "When we go to see the land assigned to us by Philo tomorrow, I will return to Nizhou with gold, silver and jewelry. Then I will stay I give you a thousand soldiers, so you must be smart and put the lives of your brothers first in everything you do."
"Don't worry, General." Hu Sanshui responded quickly.
Hua Xiong nodded and continued: "You have to personally supervise the construction of the fortress. The general will leave all the cement on the ship to you. As for catching slaves and horses, we will put it on hold until the army arrives! Your mission It’s just to protect yourself and at the same time find out the details of Luzon.”
After saying that, Hua Xiong's eyes flashed with cruelty. Since the army is stationed in Luzon, why don't we get more war horses and slaves to go back?
