"Is this wine from France?" Sun Yu picked up the crystal glass, shook it skillfully, and took a slight sniff. In fact, Sun Yu didn't know much about red wine, but he had to control his momentum. I remember that French red wine is the best, that's it.

I can easily guess that if you are so rich, you must drink French products.

"Xiaosheng is really convinced. Not only do you know France, but you also know where this wine comes from. Indeed, the wine in this glass comes from France and is extremely precious." Song Wumian was really shocked this time. At least the rice from Zhancheng was gone.

Everyone who has been to Nanyang has heard of it, but not many people know about France. After all, there are not many French businessmen in the entire Nanyang, and the distance is too far.

"It's just what I heard. Compared with Mr. Song, it's not worth mentioning." Sun Yu waved his hands and pretended to mean it. If he continued to pretend, the secret would be revealed.

"The adults are too modest. Xiaosheng is far behind the adults. He has only been out on the sea a few times. He knows more about things on the sea." Song Wumian did not dare to really think that he was well-informed.

The governor's talent is very hidden.

"Let's talk about things at sea. I haven't been to the sea yet, so I'm a little curious." Sun Yu is very greedy for maritime trade, but there is no outlet to the sea, so he can only dream about it.

Song Wumian was about to talk about some interesting experiences from his several trips to sea, and also mentioned some of the customs and customs of each place.

"Pirates are so rampant?" Every time the Song family goes to sea, they have more than a dozen large ships, and they are often attacked by pirates. Even if the four major families now work together, they have dozens of ships every time they go to sea, and dangers still occur from time to time.

.

"Isn't that right? They are said to be pirates, but they are actually the armed forces of the local leaders. The largest one is the navy of the Wu Dynasty, and all passing ships are exploited by it. When our fleet is large, we will pay some money to buy passage every time.

They can always get by. But for those small families who want to make a fortune in Nanyang, most of them have been eaten to the bone." Song Wumian told the truth, but he did not tell the whole story. The fleets of the four major families

It is not a vegetarian either. It has everything from swords, guns, clubs to trebuchets and crossbows. It is a genuine armed merchant ship. Not to mention resisting pirates, it is common for gangsters to take advantage of others.

"No wonder, I have something that is so powerful that it can kill enemies from miles away. Mr. Song, do you dare to be interested?" Sun Yu thought, this artillery must be produced sooner or later, so why not take it out and hang Mr. Song first?

appetite.

"A few miles away? Are you kidding me? Even if there is such a powerful trebuchet, it cannot be accommodated on the ship." Song Wumian shook his head. A large trebuchet can attack areas more than one mile away, but the space on the ship is small and cannot be accommodated at all.

Only some important military towns would have that kind of thing.

"If it is no longer than ten feet long and no more than two feet wide, what do you think, Mr. Song?" Naval warfare requires distance, and there is no problem of difficulty in transporting it. This artillery must be built larger.

"If you really have this thing, please give me a price. I will take as much as you have." Song Wumian heard this. If he really had this thing, he wouldn't be running rampant on the sea. Others would only be beaten. With this thing,

As long as he wanted to attack the Wu Dynasty's navy, he could destroy it with his own hands and attack it all the way to its harbor.

"This thing really exists, and you can get it as much as you want. But at this price, I'm afraid you can't afford it." Sun Yu smiled mysteriously.

"Your Majesty, you might as well make a price. Even if I can't make the decision, I can go back and report to my elders." Song Wumian's breathing was a little rapid.

People who are so confident are definitely not fooling themselves. Whoever masters such a powerful weapon will have the final say on the sea from now on.

"Does Mr. Song have other plans in this life? Or he just wants to be a maritime merchant." What Sun Yu wants is not money at all. As long as he is willing to sell this artillery, there will be many people to buy it. But it will be a matter of time for him to imitate this thing.

The real purpose is to take over the fleets of the four major families for his own use. After all, building ships takes too much effort. Even if he has an outlet to the sea, he will not be able to organize a fleet within three to five years.

"With my background as a junior, I'm afraid I don't have a good choice." He was originally a merchant and wandered at sea when he was young. Although he has read a lot of books, he will definitely not be able to take the imperial examination. If he can find some connections, he can also enter.

In the army, the starting point is certainly not high. After all, the emphasis in the army is on military exploits, which are all accomplished with one sword and one shot. If not for this, the three of them would not have been forced into this situation by Chen Hongjin alone.

"The sea resources are rich, and trade can bring great wealth. If I form a maritime fleet one day, will Young Master Song be willing to submit to me?" I don't have a suitable naval general under my command, so the Young Master Song in front of me must be a suitable candidate.

You might as well try it out first.

"If there ever comes a time when a young man would be disrespectful." Since ancient times, there have been a few people who have been able to resist the temptation of an official position, not to mention traveling across the sea, which was his dream. If he had that mysterious thing, he could form a huge fleet,

You have the final say on this sea, and it makes you happy just thinking about it.

"Okay, let's drink this cup together!" Sun Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

In the next few days, Song Wumian was not in a hurry to leave and stayed in Jianpu City. He had to see how the cement was used, otherwise it would be useless to buy it back.

"Young Master, this Jianzhou Army is truly extraordinary." The guard captain said as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Such discipline has never been seen in my life. And based on my observation, all the Jianzhou soldiers are literate, and basic reading and writing are not a problem." Song Wumian took a closer look. This Jianzhou army is simply a freak. All actions are based on the horn.

When the horn sounds, everyone knows what they should do, which is a bit scary. If the two armies are facing each other, the Jianzhou Army will definitely be able to do what they want. If the difference in numbers is not big, they will only get beaten.

"Young master, what's the use of literacy? It's not an imperial examination. You can be paid as a soldier and you have the strength to do it." The captain of the guard chuckled.

"You know what the heck, literacy means that he can understand military orders. He can recruit a large number of troops at any time without worrying about command failure. As long as he recruits enough young men, the Jianzhou Army can gather 100,000 troops, but it will not become a

A mob. Take the construction of the city as an example. Everyone is building their own piece according to the drawings. Each team below knows what they have to do. Because they are literate, everyone can follow the drawings, so they won’t

Error." I don't know where the governor got so many literate people, but they are indeed very powerful. In fact, most of Sun Yu's previous troops had some basic knowledge, but many of the people recruited or recruited later were not literate, but as long as there are literate people

Atmosphere, if you learn slowly, you can always learn it.

Song Wumian was a little anxious. Jianpu City was changing day by day, and Sun Yu's strength was also improving. Not to mention that there was a mysterious killing weapon that could be used on the ship, so land battles would definitely not be a problem. He was thinking about Sun Yu's recruitment.

I really want to have a showdown with Sun Yu directly, but I can't make the decision myself. The three parties have to discuss it together.

"Let's go to Jianzhou Trading Company." Song

Wu Mian originally planned to continue northward for a while along the way and sell the accompanying goods at a good price. Now he has changed his mind. He plans to sell the goods directly to Jianzhou Trading Company, and then return to Quanzhou with a batch of cement. This matter must be reported as soon as possible.

, it is impossible for Chen Hongjin to invade Jianzhou. If Chen Hongjin really insists on doing so, I am afraid that all his more than 10,000 elite troops will be lost here.

"Okay, young master." Upon hearing this, the guard captain hurriedly went to arrange the departure. He had already inquired that Jianzhou Trading Company is still in Shunchang and will not move here until Jianpu City is completed.

Song Wumian went to Sun Yu to say goodbye, got Sun Yu's autograph letter, and then headed towards Shunchang with his motorcade.

"Sir, if we get the support of the Song family, we can reach a higher level. Among other things, the tax revenue from the caravan is a large amount of income." Xu Yi looked at the Song family caravan walking away.

, reluctant to leave, it’s hard to find such a generous customer.

"Being in a rush is not a business, so why are you in a hurry? The Song family is more anxious than us. At this time, just do your own thing well." Sun Yu saw further than Xu Yi. He originally coveted Qing in his plan.

Yuan Jun's plan for the territory is not as simple as doing business. Since the Song family has noticed him and intends to place a bet, all he has to do is show enough strength.

"Lieutenant Yang, come here." Sun Yu shouted to Yang Qifeng who was laying tiles on the roof. Yang Qifeng and his brothers were very good at it. They stood on the roof as if they were walking on flat ground. The job of laying tiles was left to them.

Considered a professional counterpart.

"Sir, please wait a moment!" Yang Qifeng grabbed a rope, tied a knot and put it downwards, then landed on the rope, which was very convenient.

"Colonel Yang, sent a few clever brothers to spread the news to Zhangzhou that the eldest son of the Song family stayed in Jianpu for a few days and had close contact with me." Since the Song family is still undecided, then he himself

Help them add fuel to the fire.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of it right now." Yang Qifeng quickly ran over to make arrangements. This kind of thing couldn't be easier.

Three days later, in the Chen Mansion in Zhangzhou, General Chen Hongjin received an urgent order from his family and rushed back with a group of soldiers.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? I'm busy right now." Chen Hongyue, the head of the Chen family, is the eldest son, and his second son, Chen Hongjin, is a compatriot from the same mother. The two have a very good relationship.

"Second brother, this Song family has bad intentions." Chen Hongyue had just received a tip from his subordinates that the eldest son of the Song family actually went to Jianzhou and flirted with that bullshit Jianzhou governor. I'm afraid things have changed.

"The Song family is nothing more than grasshoppers after the fall. How can I, the Chen family, live under others for a long time? You also know that my adopted son Qi Si has brought us a lot of benefits in Jianzhou in the north. I didn't expect that he would get involved.

I have to go north in the next few days to give them a look. As for the Song family, we will wait until I come back." Chen Hongjin has several adopted sons, all of whom are the most capable subordinates. If Chen Qisi's life or death is left unchecked,

That would chill people's hearts and make it difficult to lead the team.

"The eldest son of the Song family went to Jianzhou and got close to the new governor. I'm worried. The Song family is planning to recruit him to become an aid to fight against our Chen family. How can they not just add half of them?

This is a friendship that has lasted for decades, but it’s not worth some yellow and white things?” The Chen family has been throwing money into the army desperately for Chen Hongjin in the past few years, but they have no choice but to strive for greater benefits. Compared with
