Song Wumian didn't know much about these things, so it was better to get involved less. He thought that as long as the Jianzhou Army could enter Quanzhou, there would be no harm in waiting. The worst he could do was to float on the sea first.

"By the way, Mr. Song, after eating in a while, I will take you to see some good things." Sun Yu remembered that during this period, Fang Hao led a group of people to get the soft sail out, just in time for Song Wumian.

Look, this can be regarded as promoting the advent of the Age of Discovery.

Song Wumian was looking forward to this, and even the speed of eating increased a lot. He thought he was going to see the big killer, the guy who could cover miles of land and help him navigate the sea.

In the state school, a group of students are studying. They are here every day and receive a salary. They don’t have to think about anything. Studying is their job. Those who are still staying in the state school plan to explore natural sciences.

Sun Yu regards them as seeds, so naturally the treatment will not be bad, at least they will not have to worry about food and drink.

"Fang Hao, bring someone to show Mr. Chen how to walk against the wind." Sun Yu entered Dezhou School and said to Fang Hao. Nowadays, the students in Texas School are vaguely headed by Fang Hao, and Sun Yu also pays attention to key training.

Fang Hao asked people to move a large wooden shed, enough to accommodate two adults to bathe in it. There is a hand-cranked fan blade at one end of the wooden shed. Once turned hard, the power is transmitted through the wooden gear, and the fan blade can rotate quickly.

Simulate strong winds at sea.

Fang Hao placed a wooden boat in the wooden shed. The boat was equipped with three sections of soft sails, which he built himself. The fan blades shook and rotated rapidly, blowing the wind onto the boat, and the sails immediately inflated.

Fang Hao rotated the boat to find a suitable direction, released his hand, and the boat went directly to the side of the fan. Under Song Wumian's stunned eyes, Fang Hao turned the boat halfway and turned it in another direction.

.In this way, the boat gradually approached the fan in the Z-shaped direction. Although the route was tortuous, the end point was clear.

"Sir, I admire your wonderful idea. Can you teach me this method?" Song Wumian originally complained about whether it was such a big killing weapon. But now, at first glance, this thing is even more powerful than that thing.

.If you get this thing, you can travel to and from the sea all year round. Isn’t the money rolling in?

"If you don't want to be called sir, just call me Fang Hao. These are all taught by the governor." Fang Hao was young after all, and immediately blushed. He was just a student from the state school, how could he deserve to be called sir?

"My lord is a scholar of heaven, and I admire you. I wonder if you can transfer this person to me. The Song family has this number." Song Wumian raised a finger. Although this thing is very easy to imitate, it also takes time. Doing it.

In trade, time is money.

"Stop your thoughts first and let's talk after this period of time." Of course Sun Yu wants money, but this person can't give it away. He still expects Sun Hao to continue working for him. Besides, the Song family now has this thing.

It's of no great use, and getting through the current crisis is the right way to go.

Sun Yu told the students to continue studying, and he took Song Wumian out. As soon as Sun Yu left, the school became lively. He didn't expect that the natural science he learned was so valuable. The finger that Mr. Song raised just now,

It's at least one thousand taels. If you study hard, will it be worth this price in the future? If they knew that Song Wumian just meant ten thousand taels, they would be too excited to sleep.

"After you go back, do you know what to do?" Sun Yu asked Song Wumian, who was a little distracted.

"I will keep my mouth shut." Although Song Wumian saw the result, he still couldn't figure out why the ship could sail against the wind. He pondered this matter along the way.

"This is nature, but that's not what I'm referring to. Don't think about those messy things first. It's not something you should study." This Song Wumian has never been exposed to natural science. It's crazy to be able to understand this principle. Even if

I explained to him myself that it wouldn't work even for three days or three nights, at least we have to start with the air.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Song Wumian quickly put his mind away. Compared with that principle, the matter in front of him was more important.

"I will vigorously purchase wood and train shipbuilding craftsmen. I want to build a large number of warships, the largest kind. Think about it, this new type of sail cannot be hidden. In the future, travel on the sea will become more and more frequent. By then, who will have more ships?

, who is the boss. When the new weapons can be put on the ship, we must firmly grasp this route, otherwise how will we make money." Although the benefits of sea trade are great, there are so many people that we can't support them. Everyone has to share a share of the pie.

, drink the northwest wind by yourself. No matter what, the fleets from Fuzhou and Beihan must be integrated, so that they cannot go to sea at all. It is best to kill the fleets from Hangzhou and monopolize the sea trade.

Still worried about not having money?

"How big of a warship do you want?" Song Wumian also looked fascinated. If he could sail across the sea, he would feel like a governor.

"It can't be less than five thousand materials." Sun Yu doesn't know how to build ships, but five thousand materials shouldn't be a problem. The larger the warship, the more artillery it can carry, and it will be safer at sea.

"Okay, how many ships are you going to build?" Song Wumian thought about it, and now he has a big ship with four thousand materials. If he goes back and studies it carefully, five thousand materials will not be a problem.

"The more the merrier, as long as we take the sea route, the money will come back sooner or later. This is the appearance drawing I drew. There is a row of holes under the decks on both sides and above the waterline. Do you understand? I have marked the dimensions of the holes."

Sun Yu handed a drawing to Song Wumian. He didn't understand shipbuilding, but the muzzle of the gun must be kept. If it is placed on the deck, it will not only rust easily, but also cannot fire in rainy days. Most importantly, it will cause heavy damage to the hull.

It is light and shakes greatly, which is not conducive to aiming.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll do it when I get back." Song Wumian touched his chin and made up his mind. The three major families may have to think twice before doing other things, but shipbuilding is different. It is their old profession, and each family has

Has its own dock.

Sun Yu then talked with Song Wumian about some things in Quanzhou. The three major families have been rooted in each other for many years, and their energy is not small. How did they reach such a situation?

In fact, there are still many people in the three major families, especially the sailors on the sea, which number no less than 3,000. However, the Chen family has become stronger and more infiltrated in recent years, and the three major families feel helpless. The Song family has always had few heirs.

There are not many children from the other two families in the army, and the main manpower has been sent to the sea. The only ones available now are the farmers on the villages outside the city. Even if they are put together temporarily, they don't have much combat power. Armor is not something you want.

You can have it.

Sun Yu was also quite emotional. The Song family was probably so focused on pursuing the King of Jinjiang that they missed development opportunities and were so passive.

Early the next morning, Song Wumian returned north with the caravan. He could not stay there

After a long wait, there are still many things to prepare for returning to Quanzhou.

Looking back at the land of Jingchu, there was no sign of an imminent war. Although Gao Baoxuo, the governor of Jingnan Province, was a bastard and often allowed his subordinates to go out and plunder caravans, the city of Jiangling remained prosperous.

, the local people are quite supportive.

Today is the day for the opening of the Jianzhou Commercial Bank branch in Jianglingcheng. In order to transport the goods here, a lot of care was taken along the way, and now it is finally open for business. The main products of the branch include cloth, farm tools, cement, Feitian wine and other Jianzhou specialties.

, it doesn’t matter if you sell more or less, the main thing is to find a place to stay here first so that the special battalion can inquire about information.

The special battalion sent three people here. They were all Yang Qifeng's capable men. They were hidden in the caravan guard. No one knew their identities except for a steward.

"Hey, what a big tone, Jianzhou Trading Company? Go in and have a look." A young man, wearing bright clothes and an angry horse, is sitting on a good horse from the Western Regions, and behind him are dozens of swordsman guards, who must be of extraordinary status.

"Hey, sir, do you need anything? Just ask." The steward saw the other party's attire and knew that he had a good background, so he quickly came out to receive him.

"What are you selling? You are such a big business, and you actually named it after Jianzhou?" This person is the heir of Nanping, the nephew of the current Jingnan Jiedushi Gao Baoxu, and the late Jingnan Jiedushi Gao Baorong

His son Gao Jichong. Gao Baorong died the year before last. Because his son Gao Jichong was young, he was afraid that he would not be able to secure the throne, so he passed the position to his younger brother Gao Baorong, with the agreement that Gao Jichong would succeed him. Gao Baoxu's health was also not good.

Seeing that there are not many days left to live, Gao Jichong is now the real helmsman of Nanping.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. The boss behind our business is Mr. Sun, the governor of Jianzhou. That's why we used this name." The manager's surname was Su, who was a son of the Su family in the past. Although the Su family's business has changed.

He had a name, but his connections were still there. This person had always been diligent in his work, so he was sent by the merchant bank to open up Jingnan.

"So unscrupulous?" Gao Jichong was startled. This is quite ugly. It is rare to see the governor personally doing business to make money.

"Um, hehe, our Jianzhou governor, Mr. Sun, is young and doesn't pay much attention to these things." Manager Su chuckled. Usually, he would ask his family members or distant relatives to come forward. However, compared with the Gao family here who went out to plunder, the appearance was still the same.

Much better looking.

"Young? How old are you?" Gao Jichong was stunned. He didn't care much about the news in the south. Apart from his own territory, Zhou Xingfeng nearby also inquired a lot about the Song Dynasty.

"He is about the same age as the Major General from Nanping. My adults often say that I wish I could meet him." When the steward saw the other person's age and attire, he already made a pretty good guess, so he might as well take a gamble. It doesn't matter if he is wrong.

"Does your family know about the Major General of Nanping? What does he think?" Gao Jichong was interested when he heard this. The ghost place in Jianzhou is so far away. How can he know that he is so famous?

"My lord once said that in this world, he and the Major General are the only ones who can deserve the name of this young hero. It's just a pity..." The manager waved his hand and said

It sounds a bit like what a big shot is saying.
