Chapter 160 Daxia seeks iron, Ruan's refusal to join the army. Navy!
Chapter 160: Daxia seeks iron, but Ruan’s family refuses to join the army. Navy!
Zhang Yuan picked up the teacup, but heard the cup lid and the cup body ringing randomly. He quickly put it down. It was almost October, but he was sweating like pulp. He gritted his teeth for a while and said, "If you don't prepare the goods, you can spend all your money and you can get 100,000 yuan!"
Wang Lan slapped the table and said, "That's right! Brother Zhang offered 90,000 yuan, and a certain family transferred 210,000 yuan in the business, but he had to report to Mr. Yang that in terms of shipment, Brother Zhang had to place an order early. If there was any ready-made one, buy some for the application first. The goods will be borne by the company!"
Zhang Yuancai was overjoyed and immediately called the clerk in the semicolon: "I will inform you when I go to each ship to get there. I will order all the thousand-stone ships, plus five hundred stones and three hundred stones. Those who are interested will go to our mini-trade, and those who arrive first will receive first!"
The guy's face changed drastically, and he flew away. For a moment, he heard a lot of noise downstairs, but the guys dispersed. Wang Lan knew that he couldn't delay at the moment, so she raised her glass and waved her hand, indicating that Zhang Yuan could leave. Fatty Zhang bowed and rolled downstairs like a ball of meat, making Wang Lan smile slightly.
Then Wang Lan called the shop's staff, put on the pen and ink, and reported to Yang Zaixing. It was not until October 17 that the letter had traveled thousands of miles to Jincheng, which was already very fast. After all, the logistics system of Jincheng Business in Jiangnan is only comparable to the imperial station system.
"People who are near the nearest are ordered to leave Pingjiang and go to Quanzhou to work. They secretly see foreigners traveling and Han seas, and they often return with huge profits. The scale of Quanzhou Prefecture and Haishi City is not lower than that in Jincheng, or they are still out of the question. I think that there are people who are eager to spin the current plan: build ten large ships of thousands of stone, several small ships, and float on a raft to the sea, and share any of the foreign countries in the South China Sea. They can trade goods with Nanyang countries with goods from Jin, Xia, Liao and other countries, and they will definitely make a lot of profits. However, the cost is also huge, and the shipbuilding fee is required for 300,000 yuan. There are countless goods, and more than 3,000 people on the water must be more than 3,000 people. I dare not do my own thing, so I should wait for my brother to write a letter in Guangzhou Prefecture, but I will slaughter it!"
After reading, Yang Zaixing laughed: "Okay! OK! OK! This matter is about to be restored to Hebei, and he is also planning. Unexpectedly, Brother Wang did it for a certain family early, and no matter how good it is, Mr. Zhang wrote a book and answered. He agreed to everything he asked. There is no need to worry about money in this matter. The more money, the better, but the goods must be prepared early, so that the Jiangnan semicolons will be specially prepared for the Haishi from this month!"
Hong Hao stroked his beard and thought, and said slowly: "Sir, this silver is easy to deal with. There are more than one million yuan in the warehouse in a month. It is difficult to deal with only three thousand good players on water. I am afraid that there are not many water heroes in the hasty army in the Hebei army!"
Yang Zaixing heard this and sweated heavily: He is still a landslide! The Jincheng army is not to mention that most of them are Hebei men, and there are not many people who know water. If they get on a sea boat, they will probably not vomit very little after a day, let alone floating in the sea. There have been some ship workers on the Yangtze River for two years, but they are even very nervous about freight along the river. There are only a thousand people at all times, and there are three thousand people away from the sea trade. While they are worried, Gao Lin came in to report the matter. When he heard about this, he hesitated and said: "There is one person in a certain family who can make it happen, but I don't know if he is willing to serve Jincheng."
Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Gao is here to spend time. How can one person afford it? Even if the dragon in the water is just a paddle and a pole, how can it be used for it?"
Gao Lin became serious: "To be honest with my brother, this person can be regarded as a few thousand navy masters! If he had this person in Jincheng, he would probably have thousands of good people on the water in less than half a year!"
Yang Zaixing instantly understood: "Brother Gao means, can this person train a navy?"
Gao Lin nodded and asked Yang Zaixing back, "Does my brother still remember Niujia Village outside Lin'an City? There is a hero among them. He was born after the Ruan brothers in Liangshan, and he was full of water. But he didn't leave the river for three days. If he fought with the enemy on the water, this man would take off his horse and carve the other party's commanding ship like a bag to take a fancy. Wouldn't he be considered a few thousand navy?"
Yang Zaixing was very happy, Hong Hao was very happy. At that moment, Yang Zaixing ordered: "Brother Gao just invite this person, don't count the price. As long as he is willing to be the leader of my navy, he can train thousands of experts in the water, and gold, silver and wealth are not something that someone can do! Mr. Zhang then ordered that if there are any heroes who know water in the Jincheng army, regardless of the water nature, they will be trained in the navy. The salary will be better. If it is still insufficient, they will collect from various Jiangnan sub-colonies. However, this matter cannot be delayed, the faster the better!"
Gao Linxi said: "Brother Ruan is so talented, so Brother Ruan must be willing to serve. Gao must tell Brother Ruan to his brother's wishes and ask him to return to the city from the river to standby!"
Yang Zaixingqi said: "Why is Ruan Yingxiong on the river?"
Gao Lin smiled and said, "The hero of Niujia Village went north to Jincheng half a year ago. He just didn't like military wars and had not entered the army. If it weren't for this, the commander of the army would have occupied a few seats early. How could he not be known to his brother? But this Ruan Li is a family-born skill and cannot be separated from water for a day. Where can there be a big river in Jincheng play waves for him? He heard that there was a branch on the river, so he abandoned his family in the city and took care of the rest of the family, but his family sailed on the river and left freely!"
Yang Zaixing was very regretful, so he ordered the people of Niujia Village to be summoned to the yamen. Roufu, Qiuxiang and others came out to meet naturally. They thanked them for their care. When they were in trouble, they saw true feelings. The people of Niujia Village were determined to retire. After arriving in Jincheng, if Gao Lin had not been careful, they would not have noticed it for a while. Ya would not have any connection with Yang Zaixing, but since they had already spoken to invite him, they were not easy to refuse, so they had to come. At first, they were cold at the dinner.
Later, seeing that Yang Zaixing was not arrogant, he still looked like when he first arrived in Niujia Village, he let go of his heart and smiled without any restraint. Yang Zaixing spoke quite pick on the army, but the man surnamed Wu refused on behalf of everyone: "In the past, the ancestors had a clear instruction, and the younger generations were not allowed to engage in the official army. Therefore, brothers such as him only wanted three meals and one night, and it was good to have nothing to do with others. Lord Yang was so elegant that he would not make things difficult for us!"
Seeing that there was no room for reversal in this, Yang Zaixing had to give up in a bad mood to avoid losing the joy of the meal. After that, he gave the cup and no longer mentioned the matter. The men naturally paid attention to it, so they drank happily. After the meal, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but secretly hid the cave and gave everyone a few pots of wine. Only then did he stop. When the last one sent the hero Wu out, he whispered in his ear: "Brother Ruan, can you enter my Jincheng Navy? This festival is of great importance. Can Brother Wu be a complete partner?"
The man surnamed Wu hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "It seems that the fate of the Ruan family is not over. This brother will never be able to leave the water for a day. If the master starts from this period, there will be no obstacles. But the uncle Ruan named him the word "Li"... Alas!" After saying that, he left sadly, thinking that the brothers had sworn early and would no longer be used by the Song Dynasty. Only the Ruan family was unable to leave water in nature, which was contrary to the original intention of his father to name him "Li". If he gave him a piece of water, he would be unable to refuse; if he wanted to forcefully dissuade him, he was afraid that his brothers would be ruined, which would be a dilemma.
A few days later, before Ruan Li arrived, Ren Zhicai rushed back to Jincheng 100,000.
"Master Yang, my master is willing to take responsibility for the purchase of horses in the black Tatars, so the territory of Daxia will naturally be unobstructed. Even when he arrived at Yan'an Prefecture, the master of the family was a little sure of not being embarrassed. But there was one thing but he could only ask the Lord for help. Please do not refuse but fortunate!" Ren Zhicai said that and knelt down directly.
Yang Zaixing did not help him. He expected that this matter would be a good match for Xiaoke, and it was not easy to agree. However, Luo Yan should have already entered the Kelie tribe at this moment. I just didn't know if it was a gen tribe. If there was still something wrong with this, wouldn't it be a big deal?
After hesitating for a while, Yang Zaixing said in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Ren, please come up quickly. Yang really can't take it. But what instructions do you have? Yang must do his best to do what he can do."
Ren Zhicai showed joy on his face, but refused to stand up, and bowed his head and said, "Mr. Yang has the best-in-class spirit here. If he is willing to sell a little to my head every year, it will be paid at the price. It is easier to buy a horse. Is Mr. Yang willing to do it thoroughly without reviewing it?"
When Yang Zaixing heard this, he was moved and slapped the table. Ren Zhicai was shocked and knelt on the ground. He did not dare to look up.
Yang Zaixing walked back and forth in the hall for a while, and finally gently helped Ren Zhicai up: "What Mr. Husband asked for is implicated in Jiangnan and Hebei, and it is not something that can be answered in a moment. I also asked Mr. Husband to rest in the court, and there will be a reply within three days!"
After nightfall, Yang Zaixing summoned everyone to discuss the Xia people's purchase of iron tools.
"Sir, I think this matter is absolutely unfair!" Hong Hao was the first to stand up to oppose: "The Xia people joined forces with the Jin people in the past to seize my land and kill me many people in the Song Dynasty? Although we are in contact with our dynasty, we should not give the enemy a good pig iron to the enemy. It is hard to say whether it is an enemy or a friend in the future. Once we turn against each other, we will use the weapon made of pig iron to attack my Jincheng. Wouldn't we bear it for ourselves?"
Gao Lin was also quite suspicious: "Brother must be cautious. Ren Dejing is not a good person in Daxia. If Ren Zhicai and others look at it, Ren Dejing will have a rebellion sooner or later. If he sells pig iron with him, he will be the lord of Daxia in the future, he will be more needed. At that time, will we not give it? If we don't give it, the horse will be broken. If we sell it, there will be hidden worries in the Song Dynasty."
But Guo Blacksmith didn't say anything for a long time. After everyone discussed it, he slowly said: "The old man and you guys see it a little differently. Jincheng iron is now more than 100,000 kilograms. Although it has various uses, it also occupies a large amount of storage. It cannot be used for a while. Why not sell it for profit? Furthermore, there are many notions of high-quality pig iron, including more than 100,000 kilograms of pig iron produced in a furnace, especially the advantages and disadvantages, let alone more than 100,000 kilograms of pig iron?
Pig iron was left to my Jincheng, but I would use it as a second-class pig iron, and what's wrong with others? In addition, the Grand Master said that the Ren family had the intention of rebellion. Although the young man did not understand the major affairs of the country, he still knew that after the chaos in the country, he would not be able to settle for several years. At that time, when did he come to attack my Jincheng? If you want to take the Song Dynasty, you must first take the Jin Kingdom. Is Wushu easy to share? Therefore, Wuyou, this is a foolish opinion for Lao Guo. The old man will go and study it yourself, and he will not be able to do it!"
When everyone heard this, they were sweating: No matter how many major issues of military and national affairs are, Lao Guo is the most authoritative in iron smelting. Besides, people in the local area cannot take it seriously. Yang Zaixing put down a big stone in his heart and made a decision: the first-class one can be sold to Jiangnan, and the third-class one can be sold to Daxia, but only tens of thousands of pounds a month, and one pound is not enough.
But the secret of firearms is the most important and can no longer be revealed to the Xia people. Even in the city and the army dared to discuss it, they would not punish them severely: since the last time he used it in Tunliu County, "Mr. Yang knew that the Five Thunders was a gift from heaven, and sent his disciples to Tunliu Shi" was rampant in Ze, Lu and the two states were rampant. For a moment, everyone believed it without doubt, but Yang Zaixing refused to let people refute the rumors, and let everyone tell the legend. He just thought it was a joke, but he did not believe it. Even later it was passed on to Shangjing, and the defeated soldiers that day would also believe it.
When I invited Ren Zhicai to meet the next day, Old Man Ren did not expect happiness to come so quickly, and for a moment he was a little incoherent: "Master Yang Yang, this great virtue, Ren is deeply imitated by the five-pointed master. In the future, my family leader... will... be rewarded with me!"
At present, the two sides agreed that one kilogram of pig iron should not exceed 10,000 kilograms per month, and the Xia people were responsible for transportation, but they were not allowed to trade at the tentative site. Gao Lin designated a separate location to deliver the goods. In order to prevent the Jin army from inspecting the road, all pig iron was cast into a saddle shape and transported from the slow horse to Daxia. The details were explained clearly within this day.
After sending Ren Zhicai, Gao Lin brought Ruan Li into the yamen that night. Yang Zaixing saw Dale: It was not true in Niujia Village that day. Ruan Li squatted in the corner of the wall and never stood up. At this moment, he saw that the skin was exposed outside was dark, all with traces of water soaking in the sun. He was thin and short, like a monkey, and it looked like a dragon in the water. It was just that he looked clever and no longer as slow as he was on the day. Although he was wearing a decent cotton robe, it seemed to be wearing it on Sun Wukong. It was fine, but it made people feel uncomfortable, and he took off all his clothes or even more fulfilling his wish!
"Brother Ruan is willing to join our Jincheng Navy and no longer escort the goods on the river from now on, but I will train an invincible majestic army on the water for Jincheng? If Brother Ruan is willing to surrender, he will be the commander of the navy. Someone will recruit a new army, and Brother Ruan is fully responsible. OK?" Yang Zaixing tried his best to discuss with Ruan Li as calmly as possible.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Li shook her head so much like a drum: "My father has been given a clear instruction. Don't participate in war affairs. A certain family is just good at water, but not good at fighting. The adults have found the wrong person!"
Yang Zaixing secretly looked at Gao Lin, and the latter shook his head quietly. Yang Zaixing looked at Ruan Li's right hand carefully, but there were calluses that were grinding out of holding weapons for many years. Then he smiled and said, "Brother Ruan is just good water, and a certain family doesn't force it. But there are not many people in the Jincheng army. Just when Brother Ruan is about to show his strength, he has not tried what Brother Ruan wants? If he doesn't like fighting, when he goes to battle in the future, Brother Ruan doesn't need to fight!"
Ruan Li grinned for a while, and didn't know what he was mumbling, but finally jumped down from the chair. Yang Zaixing then realized that Ruan Li had been squatting on the chair, not sitting, but actually became shorter as soon as he jumped. Ruan Li looked at Yang Zaixing secretly, and saw that Yang Zaixing was not angry, so he bowed and said, "The elders in the family taught him that Ruan dared not forget it. Let's give up this matter, sir, don't blame me!" As he said, he walked out.
Yang Zaixing sighed: "I originally wanted to build a navy army and go to the south of China. Who would have thought that Brother Ruan was so clever!"
Chapter completed!
