Chapter 11: The Ambition of the Sea. Sequence. under

However, Tianxiang does not intend to simply turn this place into an ordinary free port, he also wants to develop foreign trade here and form a top maritime military force belonging to this era. Just like the army units in the royal city of Pulun, the priority is to train the individual qualities of the soldiers, and strive to make them master various military skills and skills before entering the army for official service.

It's just that Tianxiang himself is not familiar with the military training of the ocean, and he needs a group of old sailors who are very familiar with the marine climate and a very experienced captain to train his marine troops. For now, there is no one in the city of Pullen who can do it.

However, after all, it will take a long time for the navy to succeed, so Tianxiang quickly focused his attention on foreign trade again. Obviously, if you want to sell your goods to the other party, and you can get a high report, then you must sell to a nobleman or a royal family.

As a result, the only goods that the city could export to the outside world were ...... Well?

Commodities to export?

The city of Puron?

Forehead......

"Ah, it seems that there is nothing to sell in the city of Puren, ......?" Tianxiang seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, and said with a cute and cute expression on his face.

"King? What's wrong with you? Ni had just returned from a patrol with the cavalry troops, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his own king standing in front of the window, staring at the vast sea outside the window, with a troubled expression.

"Oh? Is Nee back? What about the outside world, Hughes. How's that guy doing with Peggy? ”

"Yes, all the qiē is as the king expected. The Norman king is no longer good, and now England is in chaos, the Scots are sharpening their knives and preparing to attack York, and the northern English legions stationed in Yorkshire have been held back. In addition, it is rumored that the French seem to want to intervene as well. So for now, it's impossible for the English to trouble us anytime soon. Nick said.

This information is all through Guò Theseus. Peggy got it from the eyeliner in York, and from this point of view, Hughes's ability is really good. It's just that his personality can't be trusted by King Pullen for the time being, not to mention that the intelligence department is the most important and key department in a country, and King Pullen has no intention of letting anyone other than his own agree with him for the time being.

"It's just right to come back, do you know of anything worth collecting or selling near our Pulon King City?"

"Huh? Well......" Ni looked thoughtful.

"Probably, no? Other than food. ”

"Sure enough, that's what I thought. However, in addition to food and iron ore, those are strategic reserves, and we don't have enough of them, so it's impossible to sell anything. ”

Tianxiang propped one arm on the windowsill, thinking silently with a sullen expression.

"What you sold...... Paper? No, even if it can be made, few people know how to read in this era, and if you buy it, you can only use it as an ass wipe, right? So, porcelain? Not...... I'm not a professional craftsman, so who would specialize in learning that kind of thing in modern times? ”

Ni watched Tianxiang's stinky expression on the side, it was the first time he saw Wang show an embarrassed expression, since he saw Wang's first smile, angry expression, and extreme coldness, he saw other emotions on his always cold face.

For a moment, Ni suddenly felt a strange sense of happiness in his heart. This feeling is like discovering that the person he respects and cares about the most is gradually revealing his most natural side in front of him, and this inexplicable satisfaction makes Ni feel a burst of happiness inside.

Thinking about it, Tianxiang suddenly saw Ni standing at the door, looking stupid, and showing a smiling face.

However, Tianxiang didn't care about Ni himself, his gaze gradually wandered, gradually ...... His gaze focused on the leather armor Ni was wearing and the weapon he was carrying at his waist.

Leather armor is the standard armor of the Pulon Royal City, with strong defense, beautiful appearance, light and convenient! And the weapon is a delicate blade forged by hundreds of tempers. Not only is it extremely sharp, but the craftsmanship is even higher, and ordinary weapons can not damage the Puron King City even if they collide, while the opponent's will inevitably have a gap or even a crack!

Moreover, the most important thing is that this kind of weapon can only be made in the Pulon King City, because only the kind of high-temperature kiln in the Pulon King City can fuse iron ore to composite the weapon, and only the craftsmen in the Iron Department of the Pulon King City know how to use this skill to process and upgrade the weapon.

“………………”

"Huh?" He looked at the king, and then at the most beloved sword at his waist. For a while, a strong sense of uneasiness surged into Ni's heart!

――――――――――――――――――――

Weapon output.

The forging technology that only the royal city of Pulon has, and the foundation and craftsmanship of making zuò that only the royal city of Pulun has. Both in terms of quantity and the quality of weapons, it is completely under the control of the Puron King.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this technology can only be used by the Purons, which means that once this weapon reaches the market, it will create a kind of monopoly! And monopoly often means huge profits!

In today's situation in the British Isles, if a batch of weapons were to be made and sold to the English, or to the Scottish, or to find a way to find the French...... No matter which side it is, the other party will inevitably spend a lot of money to buy this batch of high-quality weapons in the Puren King City!

They would buy all the stocks of the Pulon King City at any cost, especially after seeing its power, and the group would probably not allow such a sharp weapon to circulate on a large scale in a hostile country, even if they would rather go bankrupt, because that would have disastrous consequences for the enemy facing such a weapon.

However, King Pullen is not sure whether he wants to do this or not, after all, there is still a lot of risk involved, because maybe that day King Pullen may have to face the embarrassing situation of having to fight the enemy with the weapons he has built.

However, if it is sold to the outside world, with the technology of the Pleon Royal City, it will definitely be able to easily eliminate all the iron weapons on the market now, so as to monopolize the arms market of the entire British Isles in one fell swoop, and then the money earned by the Pleon Royal City in a year is almost the sum of the annual taxes of England and France combined!

With this fund, the city of Pleon will be able to purchase a large number of supplies and attract more displaced people to join it to expand its own strength. In addition, this money can also be used to buy war horses, in this era heavy cavalry is equivalent to strategic weapons, and war horses are a must! However, even the most ordinary war horses are very expensive, let alone at least 3,000 heavy cavalry troops if you want to build a huge heavy cavalry force that can intimidate the entire British Isles, and even the entire Western European world! Over 100,000 gold coins for an annual budget!

There is also the formation of a maritime army, and if the information on those warships stored in King Pullen's mind is taken out, no matter which one is built, it will become the most advanced weapon in the world! However, the maintenance cost of the Navy is basically the highest compared to that of the Army.

But just like with the 3,000 heavily armed knights, once the Pleon King City completes the naval reform and rearmament, then the entire English Channel will be in the pocket of the Pulon King City, and the Mediterranean Sea, which connects the Europa continent with the Middle East and Africa in the future, will inevitably let the fleet of the Pulon King City dominate!

Faced with the immensely powerful Pulon fleet, for the sake of their maritime safety and trade routes, each country must pay a huge amount of taxes to the royal city of Pulon in exchange for the safety of their caravans.

So, the prospects for either side of development look very bright! However, behind the scenery, the huge maintenance costs like a mountain are not something that any country on the European continent can afford at present, and even the whole of Western Europe together is estimated to not be able to support 3,000 heavy cavalry troops with heavy armor and horses. What's more, the maintenance cost of the navy is still higher than that of the heavy cavalry.

"Hmm...... It's troublesome, it's bothersome......"

Tianxiang tapped on the wood, frowning and muttering.

In the distance, the wind on the seashore carries a fishy smell.

It stinks a bit.

It's a bit fishy.

Meantime...... It's also a bit salty.
