readx Early the next morning, Zhao Lie sent out most of his people to confirm the news, find out the truth about the Portuguese army, and identify the real powerful figures in the Portuguese army.
It was such a rush.
At the end of the morning, the people dispersed, and Zhao Lie led Li Hu, Yu Dabao and two guards towards the shopping district.
Zhao Lie went in and out of a shop owned by the Portuguese, looking for an object, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.
Zhao Lie couldn't help but be very disappointed.
I finally saw it in a larger shop on a street northeast of the meeting hall.
Two short flint guns were hung crosswise on the wooden board behind the counter.
The guns exuded a semi-dumb steel light, and the handles were inlaid on both sides.
Looking at the decoration of hollow steel sheets, Zhao Lie looked at it intently, his heart wavered for a while, and then asked: "How many taels of silver are there?"
"One hundred taels of silver."
The answer was in blunt Chinese.
Zhao Lie was shocked, it was too expensive.
Only then did I see that it was a Portuguese shop assistant in her thirties who answered.
As soon as I entered the store, I was attracted by the gun and didn't pay much attention to people.
This man is short, fat, and has a dark complexion.
Well, he looks very familiar.
"Uh, this lady, we met yesterday."
Zhao Lie remembered that this was the lady who was with Alexandra yesterday.
"Dear Sir, we met yesterday in the square in front of the council chamber.
You can call me by my name, Marta."
Maybe Zhao Lie had a good impression on Marta, so Marta reported her name.
"Ms.
Marta, how many of these guns do you have here?"
Zhao Lie looked around as he spoke, looking for someone's pretty figure.
"Sir, we have about a dozen."
Mata bent her knees slightly and replied with a smile.
"Well, madam, if we want them all, how many taels of silver will it cost?"
Zhao Lie asked with a smile.
"Here... let me ask Miss.
Please wait a moment."
Marta entered from the back door.
There was only a tall, thin old man left in the store.
Zhao Lie looked around and saw only glassware, knives and cutlery, clocks, and single-channel telescopes.
There are also matchlocks, Gothic half-body armor, full armor, cross swords, porcelain, silk and other goods.
This is obviously a distribution center for Chinese and foreign goods, and it must also run a separate business.
The door opened, and Marta came in first.
Then Alexandra, wearing a black dress and a purple scarf, entered the room.
Zhao Lie felt that the room suddenly lit up.
Alexandra curtsied and saluted.
Zhao Lie helped Bow your chest and return the gift, "Dear sir, I heard that you want to buy all our muskets."
Alexandra asked with a smile.
"No, no."
Zhao Lie shook his head.
Alexandra and Marta were stunned.
Zhao Lie meaningfully looked at their confused expressions and continued, "If there was such a long gun, I would also use it.

Want it.”
"Oh, Holy Virgin Mary, I thought your husband was going to break his promise."
Alexandra sighed softly, stroking her chest.
"We still have more than thirty long guns, but they are not decorated, only fifty liang and one."
"Okay, let's talk about the price of a short blunderbuss."
Zhao Lie and Alexandra began to bargain.
It was impossible not to bargain.
It was really expensive.
Too expensive.
After some bargaining, the long gun was priced at fifty-eight taels, and the short gun was priced at thirty-three taels of silver.
Zhao Lie also collected all the monocular telescopes and bought several clocks and six sets of armor.
The final settlement was more than 3,800 taels of silver.
Zhao Lie asked Yu Dabao to go back to the ship to collect the silver, while he waited in the store.
More than three thousand taels of silver is not a particularly large transaction, but these are luxury goods and ordnance.
The store must have made a lot of profits.
Alexandra was also very satisfied and couldn't help but smile.
"Ms.
Lopez, this is your family's business."
Zhao Lie took the opportunity to talk.
"Yes, this is a business between my family and my uncle."
Alexandra replied with a smile.
"In addition to this shop, the Lopez family also has ships."
Zhao Lie looked around.
"Yes, our family still has two merchant ships.
Now my uncle is leading them back to Portugal."
Alexandra's eyes darkened when she mentioned Portugal.
Zhao Lie noticed this.
There are stories, there are stories.
"The Civil War in the Holy Roman Empire broke out, and Spain and France went to war.
Are the shipping routes still open?"
Zhao Lie asked.
Alexandra's beautiful blue eyes looked at Zhao Lie in confusion.
How did this wise man know about things in Europe?
In recent years, wars between Western Europe, such as France and the Netherlands, and Spain, the Holy Roman Empire and other countries have become increasingly fierce.
It is fierce, and there is no hope of ending in a short time.
To put it bluntly, it is a war for the hegemony of Western Europe.
"The war has begun.
The route from here to the Mediterranean is relatively smooth.
After all, there are many Portuguese overseas territories where supplies can be docked, but the English Channel is uneasy."
England first secretly funded France and the Netherlands, and then openly opposed it naked.
Spain and the English Channel are of course uneasy for the Spanish and Portuguese people.
Zhao Lie felt that he was about to melt into this blue ocean.
Alexandra's eyes were pure and beautiful.
"Your country is still a vassal state of Spain."
Zhao Lie looked at Alexandra's surprise with great joy.

"Yes, I still honor the King of Spain as His Majesty."
Alexandra replied subconsciously, sighing in her heart that this wise man really knew everything about the relationship between Spain and Portugal.
"It's not easy for your country to survive.
The Netherlands, France, and England are the new ones on the sea.
Is Malacca still in your hands?"
Zhao Lie really wanted to ask about the current major events in Europe.
Zhao Lie only knew some basics.
The big things are just some superficial things that I learned during the company trip, and I can only rely on the help of modern people to complete them.
"Malacca" Alexandra asked doubtfully, obviously not hearing the name.
Zhao Lie was surprised for a moment.
Could it be that he traveled to the Ming Dynasty and destroyed Malacca?
No way, then where else could he disappear?
Is this world different?
"It's the narrow waterway before entering the Indian Ocean, where you have a territory."
Zhao Lie stared at Alexandra, because Alexandra's answer determined whether Zhao Lie's three views were shifted.
"Oh, you mean the Maraka Territory, there is only one territory at that location."
Alexandra replied with a smile.
"However, the Dutch continued to harass various territories, and in Japan they entered Nagasaki, squeezing us out."
Zhao Lie took a long breath and wiped his sweat.
What can I tell you, my small clothes will not affect the topography of the earth.
Zhao Lie's three views immediately returned to his place.
This was still a world he was familiar with.
"Miss, are you still used to living in Ming Dynasty?
Don't you miss your hometown?"
Zhao Lie asked casually.
He also took a breath.
He was too nervous just now.
"The climate here is similar to that of Portugal, only slightly humid.
As for my hometown of Faro, I will never go back in this life."
Alexandra looked dazed for a moment, with blue water filling her eyes.
Marta on the side handed over a white handkerchief, and Alexandra wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lopez, for reminding you of bad things."
Zhao Lie felt very uncomfortable when he saw Alexandra's tears.
"It doesn't matter, it's all over."
Alexandra smiled, and the brightness returned to her face.
Her beautiful face temporarily eclipsed the flowers.
"Ms.
Lopez, are the two children okay?"
Zhao Lie asked about the two children.
"Fortunately, my sister is still in pain, and my brother is feeling better.
I hope they will soon forget their previous suffering.
Thank you, sir, for your concern."
Alexandra's eyes brightened when she mentioned her children.
"I should thank the young lady on behalf of the people of Ming Dynasty.
After all, you are saving the people of Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Lie bowed.
Alexandra immediately returned the gesture.
"My young master has also rescued tens of thousands of refugees in his hometown."
Li Hu's voice sounded just right.
He could tell that the young master was attracted to this girl Franji.
Well, it would be good to marry her back and become a concubine.
Zhao Lie gave Li Hu a double thumbs up in his heart.
Fortunately, he had been walking beside his father for a long time and got a deep understanding of him.
The timing of these words was just right, which greatly comforted my heart.
"Oh, Master, is this true?"
Alexandra said in surprise, inadvertently revealing her neat teeth and looking at Zhao Lie in surprise, which was very cute.
"Yes, it's true."
Zhao Lie straightened his chest and back unconsciously and looked back at Alexandra with affirmation.
There was nothing he couldn't say about the fact that the Zhao family had rescued tens of thousands of Liao people.
"There is a flood in my hometown and there are countless victims.
It is our duty as officials to help them."
"Oh, Virgin Mary, you must be a servant of God, bringing them the gospel of God."
The short and fat Marta on the side made the sign of the cross on her chest, looking very pious.
Uh, Zhao Lie is so aggrieved.
This is my decision.
I am proud of myself and the old Zhao family.
What does it have to do with Yangshen?
