Chapter 161: The navy won the new master, and Mongolia refused to accept the cashier. Tea horse!

"What did Lord Yang mention just now?" Ruan Li withdrew his feet and stuttered, not very happy, but he didn't know how to tell them.

Yang Zaixing remained silent, slowly sipped the tea in his cup, and hesitated for a long time, saying: "This is true. General Wang wrote a letter from Quanzhou, saying that there has been sea trade between the foreign countries and the Song Dynasty for a long time. There are tens of thousands of boats in Quanzhou Port, which can accommodate more than a thousand stones of ships, and can float thousands of miles. After several months, they often return with full loads of ivory, rhinoceros horns, and spices. During this period, they have experienced all kinds of overseas characters, rich goods, and the wonders of the sea are far from comparable to those of the rivers and lakes.

The vast sea is hard to make water. Although the water in Qiantang is strong, it is still a little smaller than that in the ten thousand miles of sea. A certain family wanted to train a majestic army on the water, and spent hundreds of thousands of thousands of boats floating in the sea with dozens of huge boats, and exchanged with foreign countries with goods from Middle and Earth. They went north to Goryeo, east to Fusang, south to Luzon, and thousands of miles of seashores. They were all the places where our Jincheng Navy trained troops. The profits they earned were not as good as the exchange income. It was a huge cause. I regret that no one in the army was proficient in the navy. Unfortunately, such a plan finally became a bubble!"

Gao Lin listened, endured the giggle in his stomach, and Xiang Yu struggled to support: Even Gao Lin was quite moved by listening to Yang Zaixing's description of the maritime career. Moreover, Ruan Li was fond of water and had only played among rivers and lakes for many years, but when would he have the chance to travel around the world? If he was a small boat, it would be difficult to fulfill his wish. He had to build a large number of sea boats to enter and exit the world and travel safely.

When the people who have the financial resources and determination to do this big thing today are really the only ones who have Yang Zaixing's family, even if they are rich in Quanzhou, they are just a businessman and refuse to form a powerful navy to go abroad to compete with foreign countries. The laws of the Song Dynasty were not a joke. If they had a private army of thousands of people, they would be afraid that they would not be stable to enjoy wealth. Yang Zaixing did not have such scruples. Wang Lan's letter deeply touched Yang Zaixing's interest in vigorously developing the maritime trade industry, and the planning was far further than Wang Lan thought!

Ruan Li couldn't hear what Yang Zaixing meant. It was just that his father had a long history before his death. The descendants should not take water as a matter of doing things, and they should not have anything to do with the government army. They named him "Li". That is, it means "being safe from the water", but those who are not satisfied with the world are: the more they are guarded, the more they make Ruan Li addicted to water as their lives. However, for more than 20 years, they have been happy in the local court training of "not entering the official family" and are comfortable in the world. However, when he heard Yang Zaixing's words, he couldn't help but go to overseas countries. He wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the four seas. If he missed this, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life and he had no place to buy medicine for regret. Therefore, although he was a little embarrassed, he still moved his face to the side of the chair step by step. While Yang Zaixing was not paying attention, he jumped back to the chair and sat down.

Yang Zaixing looked at his nose and his heart, but he could see clearly from the corner of his eyes. So he ignored Ruan Li and asked Gao Lin with a frown, "Brother Gao, if you launch Luzhou and nearly 50,000 troops in Zezhou, how many can you choose slightly water-like? The number of three thousand is roughly not difficult to stop?" Gao Lin naturally understood and replied in cooperation: "If the water is not heavy when the waves are calm, you can probably get enough of this number, but if you encounter more wind and waves, you are afraid that less than half of the people who dare to go into the water will be able to deal with the sea business?"

Ruan Li listened on the side and sneered, but Yang Zaixing and Gao Lin ignored him.

Yang Zaixing thought deeply, and suddenly asked in surprise: "If you recruit good players from various sections in Jiangnan, regardless of north or south, you only need to be familiar with water. You can probably make up all these numbers?" Gao Lin said with joy and suddenly realized: "That's true, how can you forget that there are many people who are used to playing water in Jiangnan water towns. This plan is definitely feasible!"

Ruan Li nodded slightly at this point, but still said nothing.

Yang Zaixing asked Gao Lin again, "It's just that the navy is different from the sea merchants. I heard that thieves on the sea are rampant, and even those who kill people, rob goods and take ships away. If they encounter thieves at sea, what should be the first priority in terms of weapons? How should the navy soldiers train?"

Before Gao Lin could react, Ruan Li took over the conversation: "The people who are close to each other use bows, arrows, crossbows, fire and sail, and shoot people with crossbows. Underwater, they should be prepared to use them to break the enemy ships. They must be skilled on the shore and then go into the water to try them. If the strength is the same, water is against water and underwater is against water. This is a good strategy! The water at sea is wide and there is no cover within hundreds of steps. I am afraid that there must be more crossbows to attack from a distance, so I can be safe! If I fight to the side, it is no different from land battles, the brave will live, and the timid will die, and there will be no tricks in between."

Yang Zaixing did not feel that Ruan Li was abrupt, but continued to ask: "If a storm suddenly arrives and the waves are hundreds of feet high, how should we be prepared?"

Ruan Lidun didn't stop and said casually: "When sailing in the rivers and lakes, when the wind and sailing down, when the water comes, it will be avoided on the shore. The materials from the sea are similar. If the wind and waves are high, sailing down and entering the harbor to avoid it, it will be safe. However, a family has not been to Nanyang and does not know whether the waterway is difficult. Where can there be a port to be docked? In this festival, you must also ask the elderly boatmen who are familiar with the ocean. There must be a number of these people in a team of large ships to ensure safety."

"What if the sails break the mast, then what?" Yang Zaixing simply asked to the end.

"The boats in the river are all used together, but I don't know if there are such paintings on the sea. If there are long oars, I am not afraid of the masts being damaged. I just need to go to the dock in time to repair them and should not rely on them to travel thousands of miles." Ruan Li had no scruples at this point.

Yang Zaixing suddenly arose: "Brother Gao almost missed the big thing!"

Gao Lin was frightened and apologized, but did not know what was wrong. Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "If Brother Ruan had not been straightforward, wouldn't he have missed the navy commander in person?"

Ruan Li was embarrassed, but did not refuse. Gao Lin was overjoyed and knew that things were in harmony! Sure enough, when the next day, Ruan Li happily took over the position of commander of the Jincheng Navy, but did not serve in Jincheng. After a few days, he led the two state troops to select more than a thousand men who could meet the water. He went directly to Ezhou with a batch of northern goods and took over dozens of cargo ships on the river. He trained these men underwater water skills day by day. The Jiangnan sections received orders and collected a lot of money for the water. In less than a few days, he received more than a thousand people. After more than a month, he was

The Jincheng Navy on the Ezhou River has reached 3,000 scale, so it is along the river, in the name of transporting goods, and Professor Ruan Li can fight on the ship. Such a big deal can naturally be hidden from the Tian Shizhong. Although he was quite unhappy in his eyes, he was helpless: when Yue Fei was in the army, he did not pay attention to the navy. After all, the Yue family army only wanted to sweep Hebei. How could many boat troops be used? Needless to say, the monthly salary of the Ezhou Imperial Front Army has been reduced to less than 200,000 yuan, less than 30% of Yue Fei's daily life, and he is even more unable to train the navy.

At this time, Luo Yan had arrived at the Aijin tribe for half a month. The grassland was vast and the land was sparsely populated. Often, he could not see a dome when walking for a day or two, but Shu Chi became singing loudly in the day. The sky was vast and the wilderness was vast. At the foot of the Yin Mountains, there were grass growing everywhere. I didn’t know whether this boy could recognize the road. Later, even Luo Yan felt weak. When asked about Shu Chi, he got a laugh: "You can’t answer the question. On this Aijin prairie, every grass is Shu Chi's friend. How could he be wrong?"

Nearly a month after leaving Datong, I finally saw smoke rising in front of me. Dozens of domes formed a large circle, one in the middle was about ten feet in radius, and the rest were only two or three feet in size. Several horses and sheep were scattered in various places. Luo Yan and others were both surprised and happy to see the horses that were less than ten thousand horses. Zhu Chi jumped down on the horse's back, screaming strangely, ignoring the crowd, roaring away on their own, and in a short while he hid into the dome. Luo Yan was in a daze, and more than ten people came out of the tent in the middle. They all got on their horses and met them straight, but

Therefore, Shu Chi was the leader, and there were all old and young people behind him. A man with black face was stronger than Shu Chi. He was joking with Shu Chi, as if no one was around. Several other mature men looked indifferent. When they came to Luo Yan and others, Luo Yan quickly called everyone under his command to dismount and greeted him. But he saw that the Erjin tribe held a wooden lacquer bowl. He didn't know what was served in the bowl. While singing, he served the bowl for everyone. Seeing Luo Yan hesitating, Shu Chi laughed and said, "Would you guys, the horse milk wine in Erjin tribe is not as fragrant as the Jincheng wine, but it has a unique delicacy. Don't miss it!"

Luo Yan then realized that it was the way of treating guests from the Erjinmen. He immediately signaled everyone to follow the local customs. Although he didn't like the taste of this kind of wine, he drank it all in one go. The Erjinmen Mengmen all showed joy and welcomed Luo Yan and others into the tent with joy. Then the charcoal fire rose, and several whole sheep were roasted outside the tent, but in the tent it was set in front of everyone, and continued to serve horse milk wine. The charcoal fire in the tent was put in a copper pot, and large pieces of brick tea were put in. In a while, roasted lamb and tea were served with the same fragrance. Luo Yan and his subordinates enjoyed this big meal for the first time, and they ate it very happily.

However, the men in Jincheng in the tent did not speak Mongolian language, and the people in the Mongolian language were not spoken Chinese, so they had to communicate with Shu Chi as a translator and barely communicated. Shu Chi was originally very nervous, but after talking to the elders of the clan for a long time, Dahan finally shook his head, which made Shu Chi excited. Although he didn't know what they were saying, Luo Yan's intuition felt that buying a horse was not going well, and he felt very unhappy. After a while, Shu Chi ran out of the tent, took a bag of silver ingots, and poured it in front of everyone. There was a rustling sound in the tent. Everyone in the tent was slightly moved, but in the end he saw Dahan shook his head, Shu Chi sat down dejectedly, silently.

"Zhu Chian answered, why didn't Khan agree? Is there not enough money to buy a horse?" Luo Yan couldn't help it and asked about Shu Equator.

Shu Chi shook her head: "Don't blame An Da. Shu Chi didn't know that the elders in the clan would be so stubborn. With these silver and money, they could buy tea and silk from Jin and Xia countries. Why should An Da exchange those goods for horses?"

Luo Yan was stunned: It turned out that the people in this tribe had no use to get silver. They had to travel thousands of miles to gold to exchange for the silk and tea they needed in Xia and other countries. Therefore, when they saw Luo Yan and others bring land and silver, they were expressionless and insisted on changing silk and tea.

At this moment, the people in Jincheng looked at each other, and they were all incredible. Luo Yan couldn't help but ask: "According to the practice of a kilogram, how much tea silk is needed to get a good horse?"

"In the early years, the custom was to have thirty kilograms of tea per horse. Recently, the Jin people were responsible for causing trouble, but it was 20 kilograms. Silk can be as much as a kilogram of tea. If there are such goods, it is not difficult to have many horses. There are only 100,000 good horses in the kilograms. It is okay to change as much as you want."

Luo Yan was shocked and questioned for a long time before laughing loudly: "What's the difficulty? I don't know how long it will take to go to Daxia Kingdom?"

Shuchi replied: "If there is a good horse, you can reach Montenegro in seven days!"

Luo Yan clapped his high-high and said, "That's right, Shu Chian asked Luo to lead the way. We will go to Heishan within seven days. There is a trusted person who is entrusted by my family to wait there, so he will take the silver here and bring a thousand good horses to exchange for tea. How about the silk coming?"

Shu Chi was very happy and told the Khan and the elders in the account that everyone was happy: Since the battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the silk tea traded between Mongolia and Jin Dynasties has dropped sharply. For more than 20 years, the price of tea has increased. Although the cost is quite high, it is still not enough to apply. If the Jincheng merchants had a branch in Datong Prefecture and delivered goods in a steady stream of southern goods, they were afraid that the tea from the kids would have been cut off. The Meng people who have been accustomed to using tea to meat for many years would have been sick. Now that Luo Yan actually had a way to get a large number of tea silk, they were overjoyed. The greetings were so much more enthusiastic. After nightfall, the sound of the horse head zither sounded, and there were horses neighing on all sides. I don’t know how many horses there were. The sheep returned to the tribe, and about tens of thousands of horses were totally tens of thousands of horses. Shu Chi’s words were indeed true.

The next day, Luo Yan and his friends carefully screened them. They got a thousand good horses and rushed to one place from their tribesmen and handed over to Shuchi. Luo Yan left half of his men to guard Yintuo, but asked a few good men from the Akira Division to accompany him and took the horses to Daxia. In less than ten days, they arrived at the pass under the jurisdiction of the Weifu Army Division of Heishan, Daxia.

The Daxia defenders saw the Jincheng business flag from afar and hurriedly told the guard general. The guard general received the report. They entered the inner court and said to a young servant in the room: "It's hard for the little brother to wait. The people assigned by the lord have arrived here. The soldiers under the last general have seen the Jincheng business flag. There should be no mistake."

The servant smiled proudly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After Ren Que returns, he will report to the Lord to the general's kindness. From now on, he must rely more on the general's power!"

The guard general said in panic: "How dare you? Since Lord has given him the order, I should do my best!"

At that moment, he led the crowd to the pass to verify the identity of the visitor. Luo Yan was surprised that the efficiency of Ren Zhicai was working, but he didn't know that the servant had been waiting here for five days. Ren Dejing issued a death order: He was not allowed to return to the house before he received Luo Yan! At that time, all the tea and silk in the treasury in the Heishan treasury were transferred together. Why did it take three or five days to get enough of the amount needed by Luo Yan? Shu Chi and the people of the tribe were frightened. When they saw Luo Yan's order, the Xia people followed the action without any contradiction, they were all very surprised and amazed, so they evaluated and positioned Luo Yan separately.

The horse transactions here finally began. Wang Lan in Guangzhou had already visited the Yue Mansion and sent news to Yue Lei. Yue Li's family said that Yue Lei had commanded more than 10,000 troops and horses to guard the former county of Shangdang, and was the chief general of the Central Plains. Lao Huai was very pleased. He only thought of Yue Shuai's death, but he was also sad and happy. He led Wang Lan and the whole family to Yue Fei's spiritual throne to burn incense. At lunchtime, he asked Wang Lan repeatedly about the safety of the Yue Lei family. There was a Jincheng branch.
