[Thursday's first bullet! ] The little devil wants to touch Chu Fan's bottom, can we let them succeed? If you can't, you can collect more, vote more, and reward a few melons and dates :)]

"Ranbo Eleven Lang knocks on His Excellency Prince Chu!"

In the pergola for the rest of the boatwrights by the northeastern harbor of Ushijima, the short and capable Ranba Eleven bowed deeply to the ground, followed by three even shorter Wakoku women, all of whom were also bowing to the ground—behind them were full of cages, full of cooing pigeons.

"Please get up, please get up!" Chu Fan sat on the bench loudly, and after listening to Chen Shangren's translation, he replied with a smile.

"Hay!"

After answering the question, Eleven Lang got up, took out two letters from his arms and respectfully handed them to Chu Fan, "Eleven Lang sent a letter to His Excellency Gongzi Chu on the order of the commander, please take a look." ”

After Chu Fan took the letter, he opened it and looked at Shiyi Lang from the corner of his eye, only to see that he lowered his eyelids and pretended to be respectful, but his eyes were dripping.

Sure enough, it's not just a simple message, otherwise how could Abe Tadashi send an elite chaotic wave? It seems that the owner of the Flower House wants to send him to touch the bottom of Ushijima.

It was precisely because of this worry that Chu Fan would rather be embarrassed under this broken shed than let the Japanese people enter the hinterland at the foot of Nanshan - although he knew that the other party couldn't see anything famous just by looking at it, Chu Fan was still unwilling to take risks, and he was cautious in everything.

The first letter was written by Tsunazaburo Kato, and a lot of polite words were written in front of Lala, and it was not until the end that it was written that Chu Fan's first batch of fairy grass cigarettes had been out of stock, and now merchants in many places in Japan were about to break the door of Kato's house; What's more, it is said that it is a daimyo in the Tosa area, and after being addicted, he can't wait any longer, and now he lives at Kato's house every day, smashing bowls and pots to ask for goods; Later, Tsunazaburo Kato proposed that if Chu Fan had stock here, but it couldn't be shipped because of the ship problem, he could send a ship to pick up the goods, and it was easy to discuss whether to pay silver or copper ingots - in a word, brother is out of food here, just waiting for your rice to go to the pot.

Chu Fan looked straight and smiled proudly, but he had to hold it - it is worthy of being the largest merchant in Japan, in just two months, he actually sprinkled fairy grass cigarettes all over Japan, that is more than 30,000 cigarettes, this promotion is too good, right?

At the end of the letter, Tsunaburo Kato mentioned the kind of black fire * medicine with added ingredients, hoping that Chu Fan can start supplying it within this year, and if it can provide 10,000 catties before September, then the Kato family is willing to buy it at four times the market price!

This made Chu Fan happy and worried at the same time - the production of fairy grass cigarettes here has just begun, how can anyone have the manpower to produce the black fire * medicine?

This thing is no better than a fairy grass cigarette, it is extremely dangerous, if it doesn't explode, it will have to be razed to the ground within a few miles, which is why Chu Fan didn't consider building a fire medicine factory on Niu Island at all.

But now that the money has been sent to the nose, do you want to make it?

Earn! Why not earn? You must know that until the later generations, the profits from selling arms * are higher than those from selling them!

Chu Fan immediately made up his mind, isn't it just a matter of finding another place, there are so many uninhabited islands in this sea, and some of them are places; People don't have to worry, there are tens of thousands on both sides of the Sand River!

After thinking about it clearly, Chu Fan took out the second letter and found that it was written by Tadashi Abe, and his letter was not as verbose as Tsunasaburo Kato, and he said two things straight to the point.

First, in order to facilitate communication with Chu Fan, he sent three of his pigeons—that is, the three widow women behind Shiyi Lang—and also prepared twelve pairs of carrier pigeons; He suggested that Chu Fan set up a pigeon station in Dengzhou, Chengshanwei, and Niudao, so that Chu Fan's future communication with Nagasaki could be solved with carrier pigeons.

This almost made Chu Fan faint happily - all along, Chu Fan hated the communication that could only rely on roaring in this era, he didn't think of relying on carrier pigeons and the like to communicate, but there was no one to raise pigeons in Dengzhou!

It's good now, Kinoshitamaru is so considerate to send carrier pigeons and pigeon trainers, if you really want to sleep, someone will send pillows - although Chu Fan also knows that this is likely to be a sugar-coated cannonball, and the pigeon trainer may not be just a pigeon trainer, but he still immediately decided to use it.

The sugar coating was left behind, and the shells were returned in their original form, which is his consistent fine style.

Second, he mentions the recent situation of Shiro Amakusa Shisada, the new leader of the island, who has recently nested on Amakusa Island, haunted and wandering around the poor ravines every day, as if organizing the local Chechitan cults; He now has a small team of forty or fifty people, and even when he follows Shi Zhen around, he doesn't forget to practice.

At the end of the letter, Abe Tadashi nodded vaguely, saying that he agreed with Chu Fan's point of view, but unfortunately there were people above who were obstructing, so he couldn't directly help Shi Zhen Yunyun.

After reading the letter, Chu Fan thought about it one by one.

First of all, there are fairy grass cigarettes, don't say no, even Chu Fan is ready to press it - he still understands a little bit about hunger marketing.

As for why the Kato family came to pick up the goods by themselves, Chu Fankao would not consider it, just kidding, he couldn't prevent this gang of Japanese people, how could they let them run around on Niudao casually? - It seems that Kinoshita Maru actually guessed Chu Fan's attitude, otherwise Abe Tadashi would not have sent carrier pigeons over, so wouldn't it be okay to come to the ship regularly to contact?

After thinking clearly, Chu Fan told Shiyi Lang that Xiancao cigarettes did exist, but they were still in Dengzhou and not in the transit station of Ushishima, so they could only wait for a month, that is, the beginning of June, and they could transport 1 to 20,000 to Kato's family for emergency relief.

As for coming to Ushijima to pick up the goods, Chu Fan said that the East India Company's capacity is very abundant, and there is no need to worry about the Kato family at all.

In the end, Chu Fan first said that there was no problem with 10,000 catties before September, but the premise was that the Kato family had to prepare two of the three major raw materials for themselves - saltpeter and sulfur, which were not only produced in large quantities in Japan, but also of good quality.

Chu Fan asked Gang Saburo to prepare materials for him according to 30,000 catties, and hoped that Gang Saburo would prepare enough raw materials in the warehouse in the future, so as not to delay production - Chu Fan's added gun* medicine is not only used for sale, but the escort team must not say it, Shi Zhen's side must also ensure the supply.

As for the three pigeon trainers and pigeons, Chu Fan first expressed his gratitude to Shishiro and asked him to thank Abe Tadamoto and even the leaders of Kinoshita Maru on his behalf, and at the same time he expressed his full acceptance of Abe's suggestion, and the communication between Dengshu and Nagasaki in the future will be unimpeded.

Regarding Amakusa Shiro, Shi Zhen Chufan didn't say anything - Abe Tadashi said that Kinoshitamaru would not consider cooperating with Shi Zhen for the time being, so what else could he say?

After sending Eleven Lang away, Chu Fan called Ling Ming over and discussed with him how to settle the pigeon trainer Niu Dao - Dengzhou and Cheng Shanwei's point Chu Fan was not worried, but he was worried that Niu Dao would be figured out by the Japanese people.

"Childe, you can leave this matter to me," Ling Ming said as he looked at the three short women in the distance, "Keep her in the spotlight...... Want to touch our bottom? There are no doors! ”

After explaining the secrecy matters, Chu Fan walked to the two people who were waiting by the dock far away, which were sent by Fan Zhenglong of Xingtori Mountain Villa.

After asking about the origin of the two, Chu Fan was very satisfied with Fan Zhenglong, the director of the office - these two people were his fellow Fujian villagers and knew the roots, otherwise they would not have been sent to report to Chu Fan.

There was nothing wrong with the office in Nagasaki, but a message brought by the two made Chu Fan overjoyed.
