Chapter 61: Logan's Assistance and the Touring Caravan
"By the way, Babu, I heard you were not named a traitor by the Adams family? Why are there so many good things now, where are you doing now?"
Logan, who had eaten and drunk enough, suddenly remembered what he had heard of Babu. Logan thought that Babu, who was regarded as a traitor by the Adams family, should now escape the pursuit of the Adams family in a remote area. He should now live a life of stalemate and unconcealed clothes. However, the fact is that Babu stood in front of him with great clothes. As his followers, the two powerful warriors also brought out all kinds of good things that Logan had never seen before.
Bab smiled mysteriously, not answering Logan's question. Instead, he clapped his hands and took a bag from Mike.
"Brother, these are not the gifts I want to give you, the real gifts are here."
"Oh, what's it?"
"I'll ask a question first, how do you think of my outfit?"
"Oh my god, brother, I won't lie to you. You look really handsome and energetic. I can't even see your belly. Is it all the credit for this outfit or have you lost weight?"
"Haha, of course it's impossible for me to become like this with just one set of clothes, but it still plays a big role. And the gift I bring you is a complete set of things that can make you look more handsome."
Logan didn't have the intention to harm Babu. He asked before that just to know if Babu had defected to a stronger financial backer. He also wanted to follow Babu. However, when he heard that Babu brought a lot of good things, he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to try these things immediately. With Logan's consent, Babu immediately took out exquisitely packaged boxes from the big bag. Logan was stunned. Such a beautiful box was free of gold or silver, but it still looked very pleasing to the eye.
The box is worth at least twenty pounds. I don’t know how valuable things are to be wrapped in this box. Barbu first opened a box that wrote about Shufujia soap here and took out a piece of yellow soap from it. The soap appeared very early, but it has never been good in color or appearance. Logan had never seen soap of this shape. The soap is round and arched with clear words on it. Put it near the nose and smelled it. It smelled very nice and lemon.
Babu chased Logan to take a shower, and washed it with soap three times before washing the dirt on his body. Logan had never felt so refreshed. He was not a person who refused to take a bath. He didn't believe in the publicity that too much bathing would cause germs. However, Logan was a little lazy and did not have good soap and shower gel. It was time-consuming and laborious to wash it. With this time, he would rather wander outside for a while. As soon as he finished taking a shower, Barbu pressed him on a chair, took out a jar, sprayed a lot of white foam on his beard, and then used a mechanical shave to deal with the excess hair on his face for him.
Logan was tossed by Babu for three hours before erecting a small mirror in front of him. Logan looked in and was stunned. Who is the handsome uncle in this mirror? Logan was really stunned for a moment. Originally, a 18th-century garrison has now become a white-collar elite in the 21st century. He has short hair, a mature beard, a decent suit and exquisite crocodile leather shoes. Although it is incompatible with the Europeans of this era, it seems that he is so pleasing to the eyes and so handsome.
"Damn, I didn't expect that I could be so handsome."
"How is it, brother, you go out now. I guarantee that all women's eyes will be focused on you. There are two sets of changing suits here. I will teach you these things. You can clean yourself up very handsome in the future."
"Brother Babu, you are not here to see me this time. Do I know that you are a stingy person, and I think it's normal for you to give some food. So many good things are valuable. Tell me, what do you want me to help you? Even if you want to join the New York army, I can do it."
"Brother Logan, do you think I still need to be in the colony now? I want to buy something here, hoping to get the support of you, the local snake."
"Oh, what is it?"
"This is a list, you can take a look."
"Well, iron ore, saltpeter, sulfur...there are these things you want in New York, this is it."
"Haha, brother, don't worry, if you can buy it, you will definitely benefit."
Babu and Logan finally got to the point and began to discuss specific matters. This time, Babu wanted to purchase mainly the raw materials needed to make guns and ammunition. Xiao Lin and others are now using improved and powerful yellow gunpowder to make bullets and grenades. It is not that there is no more advanced gunpowder, but that the manufacturing requirements of those gunpowder exceed the capabilities of the workers of Yanhuang Trading Company. Forced use is likely to cause an explosion accident.
In 1887, Nobel added ammonium nitrate to Dana explosives to make a safer and cheaper "Special Dana explosives", also known as "extra-strong yellow gunpowder". Gunpowder technology that was more than 100 years ahead of this era is enough to use it to dominate the mainland.
Some key things, if the chemical laboratory in the Yanhuang Trading Town cannot be produced, they can also be purchased from the 21st century with a connection. For future development, Yanhuang Trading Company must also develop the steel smelting industry. Steel is the foundation of the industry. Xiao Lin will next plan to see if he can buy or manufacture some 20th century steelmaking furnaces and purchase some iron ore, which can be used.
Of course, Xiao Lin did not have to buy these things regularly. If the risk of buying these things is too great, then it is okay to buy some European antiques and some well-known painters' oil paintings. If these things are auctioned in the 21st century, they can also get a lot of money to buy iron ore. Xiao Lin just tried to avoid something wrong with him and was discovered by too many people, so he asked Babu to try to buy these things.
Babu is really a capable person. After coming to New York City, with the help of Logan, he managed all the New York officials. After spending 80,000 pounds in total, New York City sold a lot of military supplies to them. Babu bought a total of twenty-five large carriages before loading them up. Because he hated the environment here, Babu and the others took out extremely high efficiency, and things were done in a week.
Logan was still thinking about joining Babu to join Yanhuang Trading Company, but he really felt that these colonies had no meaning at all. However, Babu refused him after thinking because he wanted to maintain this relationship line. Since he could trade once, there would definitely be a second and third time. With these relationships, Yanhuang Trading Company could draw nutrients from the UK and quickly strengthen itself.
The key is that when this matter is done, Babu will make a great contribution. This contribution is enough to push him, a surrender who has not made any military achievements, to the position of battalion commander of the guard team. Therefore, he comforted Logan and gave him 5,000 pounds as a reward, saying that he would keep in touch with him. As long as he could still purchase these things in the future, he would give Logan a reward of 5,000 pounds every time. Soap and toothpaste will be provided for free. Babu also agreed that when there is no need to trade in the future, he could recommend Logan to his boss and be a middle-level officer.
So, Logan agreed. He also felt that what Babu said made sense. It would be better to go to join with me if he had made me credit than to join with me without me. On the way back, Babu continued to cover up his appearance. He would not easily leave the carriage, and would wear a mask when he came out. Even if there were no other outsiders, he would have to do this. He was really careful. The soldiers who were traveling with me were speechless, but they could only rely on this superficially biggest leader.
There was no accident on the way back. The pounds they used were all made by the technology provided by the super fake banknote manufacturing king of the 21st century. The British in the 18th century could not find anything wrong at all. When they got it into the bank, the bank also successfully added a number to the depositor's account. At the same time, they avoided the area where the Adams family was active, and no one found that they were traitors of the Adams family.
However, they encountered four wanderers, poachers and robbers who wanted to rob the convoy. Of course, their result was that they were all made into minced meat by the soldiers of the convoy. Before Babu and his team returned to the Yanhuang Trade Town, the town welcomed an uninvited group of guests.
They were discovered by soldiers of the Yanhuang Guard who were assigned to the secret post within more than 500 meters of the town. The team was white, and there were no elderly or children. There were few women, only two middle-aged women. A team of twenty-seven people, each with weapons, and even women had a short musket. Because it was confirmed that these people were not completely harmless, and they were walking straight to the location where Yanhuang Town was located, fifty first battalions of soldiers were reported to arrest them.
