Liu Ren said curiously: "What's wrong with my name?" ”

Wei Ying said: "Aren't you called Liu Shiyuan?" There was a Pang Shiyuan in the Three Kingdoms, and he was shot to death......" After speaking, he ran away.

Liu Renyuan was stunned for a moment, and reacted that he wanted to catch Wei Ying, but this kid had already gone out of the way, and when he opened the door, he disappeared......

was so angry that Liu Ren was willing to scold: "Don't be caught by Lao Tzu, the little rabbit cub, otherwise the finch will chop it off for you!" ”

After scolding Wei Ying, Liu Renyuan, who was annoyed, sat at the table and looked at Fang Jun with a sad face: "Master Hou, you are not kind!" I think my Lao Liu is loyal to you, loyally touches the world and touches the world, and Dan's heart can learn from the sun and the moon, why are you embarrassed to arrange me in private? ”

As far as Wei Ying's hairy baby, can you watch "Three Kingdoms"? I can't understand it for him! The little rabbit cub not only knows Pang Tong and his person, but also knows that Pang Tong's character is called "Shiyuan", which is the same as his own character, and it must be Fang Jun's joke about his name in his spare time, and he was listened to by that kid......

Fang Jun suddenly called out to hit the sky: "Ben Hou is upright and selfless, jade and icy, how can he be such a villain who jokes with people's names?" Wei Ying's kid is not very old, but he has a good brain, and when he was at home, he went to school every day and knew a lot of words! Who knows if the gentleman in the school happened to tell about the Three Kingdoms, or even that he himself had watched "Three Kingdoms"? ”

Liu Renyuan was surprised: "Won't it? With such a little baby, can you watch "Three Kingdoms"? ”

Fang Jun said proudly: "With the pinyin created by Ben Hou, what is the wonder of knowing a thousand words in a year?" ”

Liu Renyuan was suddenly shocked.

Liu Renliang and Xi Junmai both learned pinyin in Zhuangzi, but they were not too surprised.

Liu Renliang said with a pretentious matter: "Don't say it, what Wei Ying's kid said is really right, Shiyuan, your name is really not ......."

Xi Junmai joked: "Didn't Master Hou say that the old man who came that day would tell fortunes?" And he used to tell fortunes for the emperor, so why don't you let him calculate it for Brother Shiyuan one day and see if it will ...... Oops! Why do you hit someone? Alas, alas, you are my brother, I was wrong, is your name good......"

Liu Ren was willing to let go of the arm that was clamping Xi Junmai's neck, and said with a grudge on his face: "It's strange to say, although our family is a martial arts family, but my father has also read a lot of books, why did he give such a word?" It's really unlucky......"

Fang Jun looked at Liu Renyuan with a gloomy gaze.

You are much stronger than Pang Tong, you were not killed by random arrows, but unfortunately you were not guaranteed in the evening, first exiled to Yaozhou, and then disappeared, the world is unknown, life and death are unknown......

After talking and laughing for a while, Liu Renliang took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Fang Jun, saying: "Su Dudu's letter said that the situation is not optimistic. Now rumors about Hou Ye's thirst for killing have spread all over Wudi, and Jiangdong women and children all know that Hou Ye likes to eat people's brains......"

Speaking of this, Liu Renliang smiled bitterly, looked at Fang Junyun's indifferent expression, and continued: "Suzhou is extremely resistant to the sailors, that is, ordinary daily materials are unwilling to sell to the sailors. The most serious is the serious loss of wood, and the local government and the market in Suzhou are colluded to smuggle a large amount of wood. However, since the news of our great victory has spread down the river, the powerful states in the south of the Yangtze River have spread all over the Jiangdong Wu Land, and the wind of stealing wood and iron tools has died down. ”

Liu Renyuan said angrily: "Dare to erect! Our sailors are the masters of the imperial court, don't those barbarians die? ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said, "So what? The local government colluded with the robbers in the market, and after the incident, they helped to hide the traces and destroy the evidence, even if they knew who did it, could Su Dudu still lead troops to kill them without evidence? ”

If this is the case, then even if the Jiangnan Shi clan has seized the handle, not only will it be difficult for the sailor to move an inch in Jiangnan after that, but someone in the DPRK and China will respond and impeach them en masse. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the sailor to make a difference.

Fang Jun had a headache.

In the final analysis, the resistance of the Jiangnan Shi clan still has the ability to fight back, and if it causes the people of Jiangnan to boycott, it will be very bad.

After pondering for a long time, Fang Jun asked Xi Jun to buy: "Do we have any business relations in the Jiangnan area?" ”

Liu Renliang usually only cares about the generals in the training farm, and does not care about external affairs at all. Liu Renyuan had just joined the team and didn't know anything about the details of the Fang family. Only Xi Junmai often acts as a messenger between Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang, and has a little involvement in the situation on the other side of the dock.

Xi Junmai thought for a while and said: "There is a Zhou family in Huzhou who sells pens, and he often goes to Guanzhong, and he has a good relationship with his family. ”

"Huzhou?"

Huzhou was called Wuxing County in ancient times, and Wu County and Huiji County were collectively referred to as the land of Sanwu, which has always been the hometown of ointment, and there is plenty of fish and rice.

"Take a few people to Huzhou, tell the Zhou family, let them send someone who can talk about things, Benhou has a big business to talk to them."

Fang Jun's eyes were deep, thinking about how to clean up the bastards in Suzhou who had stumbled on him......

Dare to mess with me Fang Jun?

So you can't eat and go around!

*****

While waiting for the Zhou family from Huzhou to come, Fang Jun did not go down the river to Haiyu Town, but stayed in Niuzhuji. Not only is there abundant iron ore here, but there are also a lot of other minerals, especially the rich reserves of dolomite......

Moreover, the water transportation here is convenient, and Fang Jun plans to build it into another industry of the Fang family in addition to Fangjia Bay in Guanzhong.

Of course, the most important thing is the iron works......

It can be said that the development progress of the iron plant determines Fang Jun's strategic layout in the future.

As the world's largest farming country, Datang must address the threat of nomads if it wants to shift its focus and strategic focus from the land to the sea.

In the era of cold weapons, the nomads roared to the dust of the cavalry troops were an inexplicable existence, and in history, these nomads relied on the powerful mobility of the cavalry to bring countless injuries to the Han people. However, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the Huns to the north and fled in embarrassment, or His Majesty Li Er swept through Mobei and drove the Turks far away to the west, they could not completely eradicate the threat of nomads.

When the Central Plains are weak, these nomadic peoples with strong survival ability will make a comeback......

How to fight against a highly mobile cavalry?

It's hard to say, but it's easy to say......

The "invincible" Eight Banners Iron Cavalry collapsed at Bali Bridge, representing the complete decline of the cavalry era. The main culprit for this outcome is the large-scale armament of rifle units.

From the invention of gunpowder and its use in warfare, to the advent of guns and artillery, the decisive force on the battlefield gradually shifted from the speed of the war horse to the range, accuracy and lethality of the gun.

The weapons of great destruction can penetrate the heavy armor of the knights, the ultra-long range of the guns allows the cavalry to kill and wound most of them before they get close, and the cost and maintenance of the guns are far less than the cost of the cavalry troops, and the user can be put into the battlefield after simple training, which makes the low position of the cavalry tend to be embarrassing.

With the development of time, firearms were gradually perfected, and people were more willing to spend less money to do more efficient things, that is, to train a large number of shooting troops to replace the traditional expensive cavalry units, which also led to the inevitability of cavalry withdrawing from the stage of history.

For Fang Jun of the "two knives", of course he can't make a big killing weapon like Makqin, but with his physical foundation and insight beyond the times, breech guns and artillery are not too difficult.

The most important condition for bringing firearms to the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty is to improve the level of iron smelting.

If there is no high-quality steel to make the barrel and barrel, do you want to take a musket with a bombed rifle at any time to deal with the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty like in the late Ming Dynasty? You must know that the Ming army at that time would rather carry a big knife and a bow and arrow than use a firearm!

As the craftsmen of the family arrived at the Nanshan mine, more and more local migrant workers were recruited nearby, and iron-making furnaces were erected, which made Fang Jun extremely emotional and depressed at the same time.

I seem to know a little bit about everything, but I don't know anything......

Whether it is cement or glass at the beginning, including the current ironmaking and future shipbuilding, I only know the most important principles, but I don't know anything about the details, I can only point out the important directions, and then let the craftsmen experiment and ponder by themselves, as for which day it will succeed, only God knows......

More than once, Fang Jun regretted why he couldn't concentrate in class in the first place, even if he read more extracurricular books......
