At that moment, Yang Bo drove away all the idle people, the maid brought tea, and saw that his young lady had a good conversation with that evil star, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, but that Li Niangniang was frightened today, and she had nowhere to reason with the sequelae.

Yang Bo saw that the two of them were chatting about the same, so he asked about Chen Bilian's recent situation, it turned out that she defeated the group of pirates in a battle on Pingshan Island, and captured more than a dozen ships of the other party, the Black Pearl was a great force in this battle, sinking two ships, injuring countless people, and even beating the sailors on the other side of the ship did not dare to go on deck, but the Black Pearl ship was loaded too much, and the speed could not catch up, so I had to watch the remnants of the pirates flee to the south, this group of pirates lost most of the ship, and lost two bases, and they couldn't organize a counteroffensive. As long as Yang Bo was escorted by a few ships, the shipping lanes of the trade were safe.

Hearing this, Yang Bo asked with some curiosity: "How can the speed of the Black Pearl be improved?" Can't you change the cannon to another ship? I remember that the speed of the Guangzhou ship is quite fast, and although the Fuchuan is a little less flexible, it has a high safety surname, and it is also good to use it as a flagship."

Chen Bilian glanced at him: "The imperial court stipulates that ships can only lift two masts at most, and the same is true for our ships, any ship type is in vain, if you want to be fast, unless you build it yourself"

Yang Bo was taken aback, make it yourself? He doesn't even dare to think about it at the moment, a large number of professional craftsmen still have to invest a lot of money, and they can't attract the attention of the court in a big way, unless they hide in a no-man's place and do it secretly.

This road is not going to work for the time being, so what is the working principle of the steam engine?

Yang Bo fell into deep thought......

Seeing that Yang Bo was silent, Chen Bilian said: "Actually, there is no big problem, I followed that Hongyi's suggestion, the black pearl retains ten mortar cannons and five furlong machines, the firepower is already strong enough, and I installed the excess on other ships." There are two things I want you to help with when I come back this time."

Seeing that Yang Bo was still pondering, Chen Bilian kicked him

"What? What's up? Yang Bo came back to his senses

"The gunpowder is not enough, last time I sent someone to buy a few hundred catties in the Huai'an area, but the power is much smaller, I don't know what the hell are you doing, the gunpowder in Maojiatun is easy to use, it hits far, and it doesn't blow up, I will bring the gunpowder back for you to concoct, and one more thing is that I brought four ships this time, you have to load them all with artillery......"

"No problem, I'll do the math, how about five mortars and three fur machines for one ship?" Yang Bo asked, Chen Jianghu had other tasks on his side, but Liu Lao Donkey's side was free.

Chen Bilian nodded: "It's up to you, anyway, if you encounter a robbery, you can't deal with it, you can do it yourself." ”

Looking at Yun Niang, who was smiling but couldn't interject, Chen Bilian asked, "Yun Niang, do you want to do business with your sister?" ”

Yun Niang didn't dare to assert herself, and looked at Yang Bo for help

Yang Bo glared at Chen Bilian: "It's not big or small, Yun Niang is one year older than you, you are the younger sister, right?" ”

Seeing that Chen Bilian wanted to be crazy again, Yang Bo hurriedly said: "Yun Niang's own private money is kept by herself, and her share of me is ......"

Yun Niang Zhengse said: "Where did Xianggong come from?" Husband and wife are one, what is the use of dividing each other? ”

Chen Bilian teased: "Tsk, it's so intimate, I'm really envious of others."

Yang Bo smiled: "Yun Niang, you don't understand, only when a woman is financially free, will she be free, don't you understand?" Hmm, let me think about how to explain it......"

"Then I'll do the chores for you, won't I?" After listening to Yang Bo's words, Chen Bilian was also angry

"Don't worry, I don't have too much capital, this time I pulled an old acquaintance, the two of us paid the capital, Bilian went out of the boat, and the profit will be yours after 20%, how about it?"

Chen Bilian counted carefully with her fingers for a long time: "Don't do it, it's too little, I have a big group of people to raise."

Yang Bo shook his head: "Bilian, our family doesn't talk to two families, your dragons and snakes are mixed, and the friendship with Yili will not last long, I think, you still eliminate a batch, only some sailors, and other combatants are better to use Maojiatun military households, they all know the roots"

Chen Bilian thought for a while, but didn't answer but asked, "Who is that acquaintance?" ”

Yang Bo said with a smile: "Anton Wei Yao's family"

"Huh?"

The other two women exclaimed, sure enough, they were acquaintances.

Yun Niang persuaded: "The slave family has always been disgusted and alienated from the Yao family, and the Xianggong should not be because of the slave family's ......."

Yang Bo shook his head: "It's not all about this, Yun Niang doesn't need to think too much"

After a busy night, Yang Bo began to chat a few words without a match, and then he couldn't stay up and fell asleep. Yun Niang couldn't drag Yang Bo, so she begged Chen Bilian to help, carried Yang Bo to the bed, and removed his coat, shoes and socks......

"Sister will talk a little longer?" Yun Niang was also tired, and when she saw Chen Bilian clapping her hands and leaving, she asked.

Chen Bilian shook her head with a smile: "The person who can occupy him can't occupy his heart after all, my sister is also satisfied with your cave room, my sister has to go to do big things, and I will come back at night to stir up"

Under Yun Niang's complaining gaze, Chen Bilian shook her hands triumphantly and went out......

That's it, Chen Bilian came and went, went and came, the door was repaired and she was broken a few times, which made Yang Bo and Yun Niang become crazy men and women, Yang Bo listened to it a few times, "Flowers can be broken and straightened, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches", Chen Bilian has big nerves, pretending not to know.

Yang Bo hated it so much, knowing that Chen Bilian took the opportunity to retaliate, and Yang Bo, who wanted to live a happy life, thought of a way, let Chen Bilian rectify her team, and promised her to pick military households at will in Maojiatun to prepare for running business, sure enough, Chen Bilian had something to do and had no time to disturb them, Yang Bo and Yun Niang could be regarded as a round house.

Seeing Chen Bilian's unfavorable attitude towards her brother who died in Maojiatun, some of the newly surrendered pirates under her were chilled, and when they heard that Chen Dangjia was going to dismiss them, most of them immediately dispersed. Of course, Chen Bilian did not treat them badly, and gave them as much as they could, the only condition was that they would not be allowed to plunder in the Yellow Sea in the future.

Chen Bilian didn't bring much with herself, and she also knocked out a large amount of silver severance pay from Yang Bo, and after those pirates discussed, they went to the south to develop.

Hearing Yang Bo's invitation, Mrs. Yao ran over excitedly.

Although the coastal area of Shandong is not as big as the south of the Yangtze River, there are a lot of profits from sea trade every year, and Mrs. Yao has long wanted to cooperate with Yang Bo to go to the business of the Japanese country, but Yang Bo has not spoken

Old lady Yao first invited Yun Niang to come over to meet, and after chatting a few words, she met Chen Bilian again, and then began to discuss formally.

Old lady Yao suppressed the joy in her heart, stroked her beard and said: "Now that Miss Chen Er has swept Pingshan and Dashan two islands, this situation is different, there is no obstacle for me to wait for three or five boats, or seven or eight boats to go to the Japanese country, or go to the south of the Yangtze River to earn silver, the old man here I want to congratulate Lord Yang first." ”

Yang Bo smiled slightly: "Yes, the world is so big, where can you not do business?" Why did Mrs. Yao set her sights on the Northland? Baba's transportation of some iron food, there are many checkpoints along the way, and he will be poked in the backbone later"

Old lady Yao was embarrassed for a moment and muttered.

Yang Bo asked again: "Just now Master Yao said that you can also go to the south to trade?" Isn't there still Zheng Yiguan in the south who controls the waterway? ”

Old lady Yao shook his head, "Then Zheng Yiguan and Xiyi and the old brothers turned their faces, not long after they were newly attached to the imperial court, it was the time to ask the imperial court, we waited for the banner, how dare Zheng Yiguan dare to come and disturb?" ”

Yang Bo asked: "In that case, then you still have to deal with the coastal defense Dao lords, will it cause trouble if the wind leaks?" These adults have too many appetites to fill them in small numbers. ”

Old lady Yao smiled: "It's okay, you can build a private port in Maojiatun if you are free, those merchant ships have all the goods here, and they will go to sea as soon as the documents arrive, why worry about attracting people's attention?" ”

Chen Bilian interjected: "I'm afraid that the imperial court sailors will occasionally come over to inspect, and if they notice it, it will be difficult to distinguish it......"

Old lady Yao shook his head: "Don't be afraid, the old man knows that if you take care of those adults, you can also provide convenience in the future, besides, the sailor is surrounded by Kong Youde, and he has no time to take care of him, so don't worry about this section." ”

Yang Bo really doesn't know much about sea trade, but fortunately, the Yao family is proficient in this business, and discussed it carefully at the moment, of course, Yang Bo didn't worry about the Yao family buying alone, so he let Chen Bilian be a deputy in Anton Wei's gold shopkeeper and keep track of the accounts.

Several people discussed for a long time, because Yang Bo only had 30,000 yuan, plus the Yao family was 60,000, so the first trip to trade would take two ships of goods, Chen Bilian took three empty ships with him, and when he arrived in the country, Chen Bilian also took advantage of the transaction to rob a few passing merchant ships in the open sea, and it is estimated that when she comes back next time, she will definitely return with a full load.

There is a small wine shop in the north of Maojiatun, this is a military family because the family has some spare money, seeing that there is no tavern in Maojiatun, so he let his mother-in-law run one, but he did not expect the business to be very hot, and there are many followers, and his tavern because of the remote location, the business has been deserted.

Han Yan'er likes to be quiet here, and ran over to drink alone, he was very depressed during this time, and just now he had a big fight with his mother-in-law at home, Han Yan'er was about to grab his mother-in-law and beat him when he got angry, but he didn't expect his mother-in-law to be vigorous, and scratched a few blood marks on his face.

Before he had two drinks, a soldier ran over sweating profusely

"Lord Han, let the little one find it, here is something for you, the adult gave it to you, he specially told you to do it."

The person Han Yan'er recognized was Yang Bo's personal guard Xiao Wu, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he stood up and took the stack of papers.

"Do you have any other orders?" Han Yan'er looked at it and asked the little five who was sweating profusely.

"I didn't say anything else," Xiao Wu replied

"Okay, then it's hard little fifth brother, I'll take a look first, little fifth brother, will you go back to your life?"

When Xiao Wu left, Han Yan'er picked up what Yang Bo wrote and looked at it, it turned out to be a play, and the adults gave it a name, what is it called (Pan Xing'er is difficult to remember)

"My lord, this is going to choreograph a big play, and let me go find a troupe?" Han Yan'er was a little inexplicable
