Chapter 743: Brother, if your name doesn’t work, please give me a monthly ticket)
Liu Renyuan wondered: "What happened to my name?"
Wei Ying said plausibly: "Isn't your name Liu Shiyuan? During the Three Kingdoms period, there was Pang Shiyuan, who was shot to death..." After saying that, he ran away.
Liu Renyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he wanted to catch Wei Ying. This kid had already fled far away, opened the door and disappeared...
Liu Renyuan was so angry that he yelled: "You little bastard, please don't let me catch you, otherwise I will chop it up for you!"
After scolding Wei Ying, Liu Renyuan, who was annoyed with himself, sat at the table and looked at Fang Jun with a sad face: "Master Hou, you are not kind! I think I, Old Liu, am loyal to you. My loyalty moves the world and my loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon.
,How can you have the nerve to arrange for me in private?"
Has Wei Ying, that stupid kid, ever read "Three Kingdoms"? He can't even understand it! Not only does the little brat know Pang Tong, he also knows that Pang Tong's nickname is "Shi Yuan", which is the same as his own, so it must be Fang.
Jun joked about his name in his spare time, but the boy listened...
Fang Jun immediately called out Tianqu: "I am upright and selfless, pure and pure, how can I be one of those scoundrels who gossip and make fun of people's names? That guy Wei Ying is not old, but he has a good mind. When he is at home, he will do it every day
If you all go to school, you will learn a lot of words! Who knows if the teacher in the school happens to have talked about the Three Kingdoms, or even read "Three Kingdoms" himself? "
Liu Renyuan was surprised and said: "No way? How can such a kid read "Three Kingdoms"?"
Fang Jun said proudly: "With the pinyin created by this prince, what's so strange about knowing a thousand characters in a year?"
Liu Renyuan was immediately shocked.
Both Liu Rengui and Xi Junmai had learned pinyin in Zhuangzi, so they were not too surprised.
Liu Rengui said in a serious tone: "Not to mention, that guy Wei Ying is really right. Shi Yuan, your name is really not that good..."
Xi Junmai joked: "Didn't the Marquis say that the old man who came that day could tell fortunes? And he used to tell fortunes for the emperor. How about asking him to tell fortunes for Brother Shiyuan one day and see if...
Ouch! Why are you beating someone? Alas, you are my brother, I was wrong, your name is so good, isn’t it okay..."
Liu Renyuan angrily let go of the arm holding Xi Junmai's neck, and said with a look of resentment: "It's strange to say that although our family comes from a martial arts family, my father has also read a lot of books, so how can he be punished by a certain person?"
What a word like that? It’s really unlucky..."
Fang Jun looked at Liu Renyuan with a faint look in his eyes.
You are much stronger than Pang Tong, and you were not shot to death by random arrows. It is a pity that you were not saved in the late festival. You were first exiled to Yaozhou, and then you disappeared without a trace. You don’t know whether you are alive or dead...
After chatting and laughing for a long time, Liu Rengui took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fang Jun, saying: "The letter from Governor Su said that the situation is not optimistic. Now the rumors about the murderous Hou Ye have spread throughout Wu Dynasty, and all the women and children in Jiangdong know that the Hou Ye is
Likes to eat human brains..."
Having said this, Liu Rengui gave a wry smile, looked at Fang Junyun's calm expression, and continued: "Suzhou is extremely resistant to the navy. Even ordinary daily necessities are not willing to be sold to the navy. In the future, docks and ports will be built.
, preparing to build a municipal shipping company will be a big trouble, at least it is difficult to recruit labor. The most serious thing is the serious loss of wood. There is a collusion between the local government and the market in Suzhou, and a large amount of wood has been smuggled. However, since the news of our victory has been
Down the river, it shocked the states south of the Yangtze River and spread throughout Jiangdong and Wu. The trend of stealing wood and iron tools has ceased."
Liu Renyuan said angrily: "How dare you, Mr. Zhu! Our navy is the master of the imperial government's management. Are those barbarians willing to die?"
Liu Rengui shook his head and said: "So what? The local government colluded with the bandits in the city and helped hide the traces and destroy the evidence after the incident. Even if he knew who did it, how could Governor Su still lead his troops to kill him without proof?"
If this is really the case, then even if the Jiangnan nobles have taken advantage of it, not only will the navy be unable to move forward in the south of the Yangtze River, but someone in the court will also respond and impeach. By then, it will be even more difficult for the navy to do anything.
Fang Jun had a headache.
After all, the Jiangnan nobles still have ways to counterattack. If it causes the Jiangnan people to boycott, it will be very bad.
After pondering for a long time, Fang Jun asked Xi Junmai: "Does our family have any business connections in the Jiangnan area?"
Liu Rengui only cared about training the generals on the farm and paid no attention to external affairs. Liu Renyuan had just joined the team not long ago and knew nothing about the details of the Fang family. Only Xi Junmai often acted as a messenger between Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang.
, a little bit about the situation at the dock.
Xi Junmai thought for a while and said: "There is a Zhou family in Huzhou who sells pens. They often go to Guanzhong and have a good relationship with the family."
"Huzhou?"
Huzhou was called Wuxing County in ancient times, and together with Wu County and Kuaiji County, it was collectively known as the Land of Three Wus. It has always been a fertile land with plenty of food and fish.
"Take a few people to Huzhou and tell the Zhou family to send someone who can talk to them. I have a big business to talk to them about."
Fang Jun's eyes were deep, thinking about how to deal with those bastards in Suzhou who were causing trouble for him...
Dare you mess with me, Fang Jun?
Let you walk around without food!
*****
While waiting for someone from the Zhou family in Huzhou, Fang Jun did not go down the river to Haiyu Town, but stayed in Niuzhuji. This place is not only rich in iron ore, but also in other minerals, especially dolomite reserves. If it were not
Building a few porcelain kilns is simply a waste of resources...
Moreover, water transportation is convenient here, and Fang Jun plans to build it into another industry for the Fang family besides Fangjiawan in Guanzhong.
Of course the most important thing is the iron factory...
It can be said that the development progress of the iron plant determines Fang Jun's future strategic layout.
As the largest agricultural country in the world today, Datang wanted to shift its focus and strategic focus from land to sea, so it had to resolve the border pressure on land - the threat from nomads.
In the age of cold weapons, there was no solution for the cavalry troops of the nomads roaring in and out. Historically, these nomads relied on the powerful mobility of the cavalry to cause countless pain to the Han nation. But even the Han people
Emperor Wu chased the Huns northward, forcing the Huns to flee in panic, or His Majesty Li Er swept across Mobei and drove the Turks far to the west, but they were unable to completely eradicate the threat of the nomads.
When the Central Plains becomes weak, these nomadic peoples with strong survivability will make a comeback...
How to fight against the highly mobile cavalry?
It is difficult to say it is difficult, but it is easy to say it is simple...
The "invincible" Eight Banners cavalry collapsed at Bali Bridge, which represented the complete decline of the cavalry era. The culprit of this outcome was the large-scale rifle-equipped troops.
From the invention of gunpowder and its use in warfare to the emergence of firearms and cannons, the power that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield has gradually shifted from the speed of war horses to the range, accuracy and lethality of firearms.
Highly destructive weapons can penetrate the thick armor of knights. The ultra-long range of firearms allows most of the cavalry to be killed or injured before they get close. Moreover, the cost of making and maintaining firearms is far less than the cost of cavalry troops. Users can put it into use after simple training.
On the battlefield, this made the cavalry's low position even more embarrassing.
As time went on, firearms were gradually perfected, and people were more willing to spend less money to do more efficient things, which was to train a large number of shooting troops to replace the traditional expensive cavalry troops. This also led to the inevitability of the cavalry withdrawing from the stage of history.
For the "two-knife" Fang Jun, of course he couldn't make a big killer like Maxim, but with his physical foundation and his experience beyond the times, breech-loading guns and artillery were not too difficult.
The most important condition for bringing firearms to the battlefields of the Tang Dynasty was the improvement of iron smelting levels.
Without high-quality steel to make barrels and gun barrels, do we have to use muskets that can explode at any time to deal with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty like they did in the late Ming Dynasty? You must know that the Ming army at that time would rather carry a broadsword and a bow and arrow.
I'd love to use a firearm!
As the family's craftsmen arrived at the Nanshan Mine, more and more local migrant workers were recruited nearby. Iron-making furnaces were built one after another, which made Fang Jun feel very emotional and depressed at the same time.
I seem to know a little bit about everything, but I am not good at anything...
Whether it was cement or glass in the past, including iron smelting now, or shipbuilding in the future, I only knew the most important principles, but knew nothing about the details. I could only point out important directions, and then let the craftsmen experiment on their own.
Thinking about it, as for which day it will succeed, only God knows...
More than once, Fang Jun regretted why he couldn't pay more attention in class, even if he could read more extracurricular books...
