"It's artillery!" Bi Francis nodded affirmatively

"Artillery?" Yang Bo began to get confused, where and where is this?

"It's artillery" Bi Francis pondered for a moment: "I once read a book by the Augustinian Order of Francos and Mendoza, the bishop of Chabas Province, this "History of the Great Chinese Empire" states that he once saw my Ming artillery, and that was still in the Wanli period, he said in that book that the Ming artillery was well-forged and had a long range......"

"This Mr. Mendoza must be a Hongyi who admires me very much, right? I know a lot of people from Western countries, they like to use exaggeration and compliments in their words, don't take it seriously, my priest" Yang Bo shook his head, not quite convinced.

"On the contrary, Zhixian" Bi Fangji shook his head: "This Mr. Mendoza is not me, he recorded these things to let King Franji understand my Ming Dynasty, he succeeded, "History of the Great Chinese Empire" is the first comprehensive introduction to the Ming Dynasty in Western countries, to be honest, I also have a vague impression of the Ming through this encyclopedia, in 1585, Mendoza's "History of the Great Chinese Empire" came out, immediately caused a sensation in the Western countries, this is a book about the natural environment, history, culture, The most comprehensive and detailed encyclopedia of customs, rituals, religious beliefs, politics, economics, etc. ......"

"You're off topic," Yang Bo cautiously interrupted Bi Francis

"Oh? Well, Zhixian, do you remember a conversation we had a long time ago? I once said that Franc once made a plan to invade the Ming Dynasty? But something that was denied by the king? Bi Fangji reminded

"Of course, I still remember that the food in that restaurant was not bad," Yang Bo smiled, remembering the first time they met

"Governor Frangi Sandy, he arrogantly claimed that as long as 2,000 people can occupy any Ming state capital, after occupying a base area, he can conquer the Ming Dynasty" Bi Fangji smiled: "Of course, there are many such madmen, but King Franji is sober, he pointed to the description of artillery in the "History of the Great Chinese Empire" and asked, sir? Are you sure your team won't be attacked by this artillery? ”

"And then?" It was the first time Yang Bo had heard of this

"No more, that's the end of the invasion plan," Bi Francis shrugged

"Startle me" Yang Bo pouted: "So, this magical artillery, where are they staying in Daming, my priest?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that there are records in the book, as for where they are, I don't know" Bi Fangji shook his head, "Maybe they are all in Liaodong, right?" I heard that there is still a war there."

Just as the two were chatting, Han Yan'er ran over

"My lord, Miss Xiao has finished accounting for the salt that will come out this month, please go and take a look"

Yang Bo nodded, and followed Han Yan'er to a stone house by the sea, which was a warehouse for storing salt. In the past few days, there is too much salt harvested, the warehouse is full, and it is time to catch up with the heavens, this period is all sunny and shining, and there are more than a dozen bags of salt in the warehouse every two days, and if you don't sell it, you can't put it down.

Seeing Yang Bo coming, Xiao Yulan didn't raise her eyelids, and just lowered her head to keep accounts.

Yang Bo's heart was crooked, Xiucai didn't dare to tease Yulan again after being warned by him, which made the little girl depressed these days, and she didn't even wash his clothes, and she was always in a daze alone.

"The little girl is older, and she is starting to have something on her mind" Yang Bo shook his head, Xiao Yulan has grown a lot taller and plumped a lot during this time, although a woman of her age in the Ming Dynasty can already talk about marriage, but Yang Bo is reluctant, "At least wait until the age of eighteen before you think about it, or just arrange for Xiucai and the old sow to have an affair, and completely let the little girl break this thought?" ”

Yang Bo felt that this method was not bad, grinned and smirked a few times, Yulan had been hurt, he wanted to find her an honest and honest good family in the future, Xiucai's beast was not worthy of her, although this method was a little cruel to Xiucai.

Han Yan'er didn't know that Yang Bo was thinking about how to direct a battle between man and beast that shook the past and the present, and reported on the side: "Six thousand catties of salt are ready today, please look, my lord, they are all ready to be piled up there."

"Six thousand?" Yang Bo was startled and pulled his thoughts back, "Do you want to pay the quota today?" Are there so many cars to deliver? ”

"The quota has been deducted, and it will be paid off at the end of the month, and now all that is sold is the big salt of the military households" Han Yan'er took a breath and said: "The car has already been sent to borrow it, and there are almost more than 30 cars"

Yang Bo nodded, what is now the kind of wheelbarrow, which is commonly known as the rooster car, this kind of car can push more than two hundred or three hundred catties.

"My lord, do you want to let the salt guards go with you?" Han Yan'er asked, there was too much salt this time, and he was afraid that something would go wrong

"Yes, let them be together" Yang Bo nodded, the salt farm is also more than ten miles away from here, these rooster carts are all wooden wheels, and it is very hard to push when there are fewer people, Han Yan'er is used to doing this, and the arrangement is in good order.

Yang Bo shook his hand and was about to leave, walked to the door and asked again: "How much silver is this big salt sold?" ”

"Three coins" Han Yan'er was busy pricking his mouth and replied very succinctly

"Three coins a pound of silver?" Yang Bo was full of joy, three coins of silver can be sold for one stone......

"Whew!" Xiao Yulan on the side rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Young master, it's three coins and one stone......

"One stone?" Yang Bo seemed to be poured on his head by a bucket of snow water

"How much silver does it cost to buy a stone of salt outside?" Yang Bo felt that he had worked so hard, so many people, selling 6,000 catties of salt, and finally got such a little silver, it was too a loss

"We don't have to buy it?" Han Yan'er is inexplicable, relying on the sea to eat the sea, when will the people of Maojiatun buy salt?

"Young master, Xuzhou Mansion is eight dollars and one stone, Huai'an Mansion is seven dollars, and Qingzhou Mansion is also eight dollars and one stone, I heard a Xuanzhou Mansion come over that day and say that the salt over there is expensive" Yulan often buys vegetables and cooks, and is very familiar with these prices.

Yang Bo was speechless for a long time, these big salts can't be sold to others, they can only be sold to salt farms, otherwise they are private salt, but just watching his hard work sell it cheaply, Yang Bo is very unwilling

The room full of people was a little confused, and Han Yan'er asked carefully: "Miss Xiao, what kind of oil is in the middle of what the adults are talking about, what is it?" ”

Yulan thought for a while: "General Banner, did you hear it wrong?" The young master may have said that it was all oil and water, and it was all occupied by the salt farm."

"Oh" Han Yan'er suddenly realized: "It's all oil, well, it's all oil and water"

Yang Bo snorted angrily and came to the sea-view room, the last room on the left, Xiucai was talking to a person hanging on the beam, and when he saw Yang Bo rushing in with anger on his face, everyone didn't dare to speak.

"How? Craftsman Liu, have you thought about it? Yang Bo leaned over to the wrinkled face and asked viciously

"I'm going to sue you, this dog officer! In broad daylight, he forcibly tied up the good people...... "That old man Liu was angry with his stomach for two days, and when he saw the main man coming, he yelled angrily: "I know you, dog officer Yang Baihu, I want to go to the guard post to sue you, I have a nephew who is the commander of the guard command post, and the dog officer wants to beat my idea?" I advise you to honestly carry the sedan chair and send me back, otherwise I will not have a break with you, you blind dog officer, phew! ”

Yang Bo turned around and wiped the saliva on his face, shook his head a little helplessly, I don't know which person tied up the commander of the family, this old man Liu is as stubborn as a donkey, smelly and hard, but he is a famous blacksmith in the Acropolis, Yang Bo is reluctant to let him go.

Yang Bo turned around, his face had become a fierce look, Old Man Liu was scolding happily, and suddenly saw Yang Bo's face full of gangsterism, and was stunned for a moment.

"Erman, vigorously, tie this old immortal to a stone and throw it into the sea for me......"
