When Fan Zhengshi personally got into the assault car and drove the car in the martial arts training ground in a circle, not only Torres, but also Fan Dazhou and Fan Zhengze were also speechless.

"This is nothing, there is a bigger transport vehicle than this, which can pull goods for more than 10,000 catties at a time," Fan Zhengshi, who was proud in his heart, turned off the engine and descended, stepped out of the car, and faced a circle of stunned spectators, he couldn't help but give Xiao Ye a promotion, and his mouth began to bubble with boasting.

My contribution to the family is now off to a good start.

"What, can you pull 10,000 catties of goods, or hang in the air, so what's the use of a cargo ship?" As soon as his words came out, Fan Dazhou immediately became anxious, this kind of car travels on the sea, it is better to walk on the ground, the hundreds of big ships of the Fan family will become waste in the blink of an eye, can he not be in a hurry.

Not only Fan Dazhou, but Torres, who had long been straight-eyed on the side, is now dizzy, the Spanish Navy is invincible at sea, and he dares to confront Portugal face to face, but, but once the sea ships are useless, it is conceivable that Spain and Portugal will be immediately beaten back to their original shape, becoming unpopular island fishermen and mountain shepherds.

"No, it's not like that," seeing that his father and eldest brother were anxious, Fan Zhengshi explained with a wry smile, "This car can only run fifty miles at a time, and it needs to be replaced with a battery rod to travel again,"

Everyone didn't understand the battery stick, but the car could only run a short distance, and everyone heard it clearly, which was a long relief of the air.

"Fan Gongzi, you sell me this car, I will bid 10,000 taels, if not, 15,000 taels," Torres, who grabbed Fan Zhengshi's sleeve and ignored it, pleaded urgently, this kind of sharp means of transportation, his country really needs it, and he must take it back and disassemble it and study it successfully.

In that case, he will be knighted just around the corner.

"This," Fan Zhengshi, who was taken aback by Torres's high price, although he was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't simply refuse the foreign devil's request, and could only raise his eyes to look at his father.

"Honestly, since Torres is our honored guest, we can't treat him badly, if there is a way, it doesn't hurt to sell him," Fan Dazhou, who had no sense of secrecy at all, nodded with a smile, this kind of car, next time I go to the grassland to buy him a dozen, it's not a silver ticket to count the silver tickets.

"Yes, if Torres gives him the goods he brought, plus a silver ticket of 15,000 taels, he can exchange it for a car for him," the loyal Fan Zhengzheng added very thoughtfully, but Torres almost vomited blood.

"No, no, I don't have that many silver tickets," the embarrassed Torres looked at the car not far in front of him, and he simply hated the root of his teeth, and shook his head helplessly and said, "Unless you are willing to take the charts from me, I can't do anything else,"

"Nautical charts? What's the chart? Fan Dazhou asked with a displeased grin, but the light in his squinting eyes still revealed his intentions.

"It's a chart from Spain to Luzon, this is a military secret of the Spanish Navy," if it weren't for the car in front of him, the car that could hang in the air, Torres wouldn't have spit out the secrets of his origin, this was a way for him to make a fortune.

"That's it, let's go, it's almost noon, let's eat first, and then talk when we're full," Fan Dazhou, who had been silent for a while, pulled Torres affectionately in the puzzled confusion of his two sons, and went directly to the living room in the front yard.

"Sixth brother, this car is simply, it's just too weird, there won't be a problem," Fan Zhengze walked up to his younger brother and asked softly.

"Hehe, big brother, what if there is a problem, it's only a foot from the ground, it's not as fast as a war horse, it can't kill a person if it falls, and it's just a gimmick to name it an assault vehicle," Fan Zhengshi smiled lightly, "But scarcity is expensive, this Northwest Persian goods, we still have to start first, and other merchants in Tianfu are not fuel-efficient lamps, and sooner or later they will find out the news over there,"

Pointing to the northwest direction, Fan Zhengshi's face was solemn, "Actually, the most valuable thing in the Persian goods is the rear-loading fire/gun, the big leader of the Galen tribe, the asking price is only fifty taels for a fire/gun, but it is a conscience price,"

Rear loading fire/gun? Fan Zhengze, who was a little confused, after listening to the explanation of the sixth brother, suddenly there was a trace of burning heat in his eyes, and he could shoot nearly ten rounds of lead bullets in one breath, and the smoothbore gun of the foreign devil became garbage.

"Ximen Xiaoye, it's really a lot of luck," chewing on the name in his mouth, Fan Zhengze looked at the sixth brother very unwillingly, and a trace of brilliance flashed on his face, "So, can you?" ”

"No, he has thousands of fire/spearmen in his hands, as well as two allies of the Mongol tribe, it is not easy to kill," Fan Zhengshi, who knew the meaning of the eldest brother's words, shook his head helplessly, "That Persian business, others can't find it at all,"

"That's it," Fan Zhengze, who was very disappointed, softened his tone, "Let's go, let's go have a drink and listen to you talk about the northwest style,"

In the eyes of the businessman, with enough benefits, there is nothing that cannot be traded, and soon, Torres exchanged all the goods he brought, as well as a nautical chart, for the Fan family's assault car, and Fan Dazhou didn't have time to sit on it to feel it, so he happily reached a deal.

And Fan Zhengze also learned about the young Baihu officer who was far away in the northwest grassland through the sixth brother's narration, and couldn't help but dispel the idea of killing people and looking for goods, that is also a ruthless person, so let's wait for the opportunity.

"For this kind of outlaw, let's make a good relationship first, after all, the Mongolian Tartars are not the realm of the Ming Dynasty, in case we turn our faces and tear the skin, we will not lose much, but it is really worth the loss," Thinking about the asking price of Torres when he sold the goods, Fan Zhengze recognized Xiao Ye's trading methods, and the trickle of water flowed for a long time.

"Go north along the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, transport it to Lintao Mansion through the Wei River cargo ship, transport it to a section of the Tao River by land, and then transport it more than 1,300 miles by land to Qingfeng Valley, and then go 500 miles to the grassland to reach the Galen tribe, which is really too far," Fan Dazhou told the sixth son, and immediately deflated, the big ship changed to a small boat, and the small boat changed to a carriage.

Fan Zhengshi was able to come back so quickly, also because the goods were small and light, otherwise it would be difficult to get home in a month's journey.

What's more, if you want to deal with the Galen tribe, the government and health offices that need to be dealt with along the way will be put into operation, which is a huge amount of investment, and for a new trade route, it is still necessary to be cautious.

"In fact, the best means of freight transportation is to go directly to Xiningwei along the Yellow River, at most use a slender man to pull the boat, no need to change ships, there is only more than 800 miles away from Suzhou Wei," after all, it is a long-term business experience, Fan Dazhou thought about it for a while, or can come up with a suitable trading route.

"But in the Yellow River Loop, where the river is controlled by the Mongol Tatars, it is more difficult for merchant ships to pass through than to ascend to the sky," Fan Zhengze also had an idea, of course he could think of his father's plan, "Is it?" ”

"Hehe, yes, we can't eat alone, then we have to unite with other merchants, at least the Zhai family and the Liang family can't get rid of it, there are many people and a wide range of relationships, maybe there is a better way," Fan Dazhou said with a smile, "That Persian business road, maybe the little prince of Jinong will also be interested, let's just follow behind and eat some broth,"

"We can go to trade, but we can only carry silver tickets secretly, we must not bring goods north, and we can only buy valuable goods that are easy to carry,"

"After all, the land in the northwest is beyond the reach of the whip, not our territory, and it is enough to get some benefits," Speaking of this, Fan Dazhou's tone became stern, "The Fan family's power is above the sea, and it is taboo to reach out and cross the boundary, and you can't act rashly,"

"The rafters in the early days rot first, our Fan family has learned enough lessons, and other merchants want to get closer to the hundred households, it has nothing to do with us,"

"Yes, the child understands," the two sons of the Fan family hurriedly got up and stood with their hands tied, and learned a lesson from their father.

So, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically, seeing that his father was about to pass the news to other businesses, Fan Zhengshi had no way to deal with it, and it was in vain to run this trip by himself.

He also came back to his senses, even if he wanted to keep it a secret, he couldn't block the mouths of the Zhai family and the Liang family, not to mention the Jin family in the northeast, which seemed to be closer to the hundred households.

The depressed Fan Zhengshi was approached by Torres the next day, and the captain, who was about to return to Luzon, suddenly found that his car had no more battery rods.

Taking out the leather bag hidden in the firewood room, Fan Zhengshi sold it to Torres for ten silver coins, and also put a set of molds on it, "Take it, plant it in a place where there is a carboniferous mine, and the fruit that bears fruit has a black kernel, and after processing and forming with this mold, it can be used for the car."

Sending off the happy Torres, Fan Zhengshi went out to go out, and the ghost sent a god to pour out the remaining bag of jade vine branches and throw them in the wild grass by the Yangtze River.

A month later, when the vine grass spread everywhere along the Yangtze River, the fruit turned out to be a water bladder, which was beyond Fan Zhengshi's expectations. The jade vines soaked in the river water, with broken vine branches, continue to go east along the Taotao River.

What surprised the Fan family even more was that a year later, at the mouth of the sea six hundred miles away, there were sailors from the Fan family, and among the vine grass fruits they picked up, the kernels that came out were large salt grains thick and thick in Bai Sensen, which made the Fan family act quickly.

In Madao Stone Fort, an unfortunate tragedy happened in the guard's house, which made Xiao Ye and Xiao Liuzi secretly happy, and also postponed the marriage of Han Juan and Xiao Liuzi.

There was a sixteen-year-old woman from the homeless people, married to the guards, and as a result, she became pregnant and gave birth, but it was a difficult birth, even if Liu Yi took out the pill in the hospital to use, it only made the child survive, and the woman who was bleeding unfortunately died.

"It's still that woman who is a little younger and can't bear the burden of childbirth," Liu Yi's explanation to Xiao Ye made Xiao Ye suddenly more vigilant, Han Juan is only over thirteen this year, and she is still a virtual age.

Although according to custom, marriage leave is allowed, but Xiao Ye doesn't want her sister to suffer that sin early.

So, he found Xiao Liuzi, and after Xiao Ye discussed with him, he decided to wait a few more years, and wait until Liu Yi said that he would get married after he was seventeen years old; Before that, Xiao Liuzi should bear with it first.

The tragic situation is just around the corner, although Xiao Liuzi is not very happy in his heart, he still nodded in response, if Han Juan encounters this matter, I am afraid that the crazy boss will never let him go.

In the guards, Li Shuo and Xue Zilong, the two deputy commanders who were almost invisible on weekdays, became active for a while, and took the guards to become familiar with the rat-type chariot, and drove the two carts back and forth around Eagle Claw Fort.

With a cart that is not afraid of rattan grass, and the speed is also fast, and some areas that are difficult to walk, the figure of the scout is replaced by a chariot.

And this chariot with heavy firearms was soon regarded as familiar, and in it sat six sergeants with firearms and backpacks, and the chariot could travel fifty miles at a slow speed, but it rose too high and too fast, and barely traveled forty miles, and then had to lie down and change the battery rods.
