Rocks shot out, and black smoke rose into the sky. A huge crater has appeared in the place where the boulder is, and the rocks in the pit have been blasted, and the boulder has long since been shattered.

Dozens of shields were smashed into large holes, and if it weren't for the thickening of the shields, the guards behind the shields might have suffered.

Aiman and Mead couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

Barrett laughed: "How? This is an improved explosive bomb from His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is no problem for a single explosive bomb to blow up ten cavalrymen. ”

Aiman and Mead looked at each other, their eyes full of horror and shock.

There is such a terrible weapon in the world.

"There's nothing surprising about you talking. His Royal Highness said that the explosive bomb is not very practical, at most it is just a replacement of the stone cone to blow up the fleet, and he can't look down on it. Barrett shook his hand and made a gesture that I didn't want to be embarrassed.

The horror in Aiman and Mead's eyes was even greater.

Can blast bombs replace a stone conch? The stone cone is currently the most important weapon in naval warfare, and through the launch of the trebuchet, it can destroy the enemy's sails and vulnerable hull parts, causing great impact on the ship.

But in naval warfare, it is the archers and sailors who are really lethal, and in short, the current naval warfare is just another form of land warfare.

The advent of explosive bombs has completely changed this situation, just imagine what a terrible scene it would be for a bomb to explode on an enemy ship.

With enough trebuchets and bombs, as well as a perfect safe distance, Eyman is confident that his fleet can outperform Will's fleet.

"Love...... Love Iman, what do you think? Mead wiped his cold sweat, his fingers shaking from the shock.

Aiman took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Several people were puzzled and hurried to follow.

Ai Yiman went to find Luo Lan, and Luo Lan happened to have a meeting, and he walked around the street slowly.

As a result, an Ai Yiman ran up to him, and grabbed his hand enthusiastically, his big eyes sparkling, and a sweet and wild breath rushed straight to his door.

"Your Royal Highness Luo Lan, I haven't seen you for half an hour, I miss you so much, oops, it's so shy to say such things suddenly."

Ai Yiman bit her lip and lowered her head shyly, one hand brushing her own braids.

Behind her, Meade and Barrett, as well as Ellie, were all stunned. Mead rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he naturally saw that Ai Iman was deliberately "coquettish", and the deliberate coquettishness of the lovely Queen Iman was also amazing.

Ellie pursed her lips and snorted a little depressedly, "What an old person, and he is as shameless as a child." ”

The cheeky Ai Yiman didn't pay attention to other people's eyes, she looked at Luo Lan shyly and timidly.

Luo Lan withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "Accepted my proposal?" Go north quickly, and I'll arrange my people. ”

"Don't worry, Prince Luo Lan, your bomb is pretty good, how did you do it? Can I take a tour? "Aiyiman is still selling cute.

Luo Lan shook her head: "No way." ”

Ai Yiman's eyes were pulled, and he shook his hair back domineeringly: "You are really stingy, I will be angry with you sooner or later when I do business with you!" ”

The angry Ai Yiman regained his wild temperament and glared at Luo Lan, who was smiling, "I really want to beat you...... Okay, I'll throw in the towel. But I want you to assure you that the fleet will always be mine, that you can only be regarded as a backer, and that you will have to provide weapons in the future, and you will not take away the ownership of the fleet. ”

Ai Yiman is a smart man.

After seeing the power of the explosive bomb, she had a hunch that Luo Lan was likely to change the military pattern of the world.

This guy with no money and no soldiers has mastered the most terrifying weapon, and as long as he develops it, he will be invincible in the world.

What will Adri be then? Fight that creaking trebuchet against explosive bombs?

What is the Iron Cavalry of the North? No matter how fierce the cavalry is blown up by a bomb, it still turns into minced meat?

Of course, Ai Yiman also knew that Luo Lan was facing a great predicament, otherwise he would have been powerful a long time ago, where would he secretly hide explosive bombs, and where would he turn to himself for help.

"Okay, nice to work with."

Luo Lan shook Ai Yiman's hand, he couldn't remember how many times it was shaken, but this time it should be the last time today.

Ai Yiman withdrew his hand angrily, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the lovely Miss Elle pouting and muffled.

Ai Yiman immediately evoked a smile, she deliberately provoked Luo Lan's chin, and her blue eyes looked at Luo Lan defiantly: "You are really an unusual man, maybe I will be attracted to you in the future." ”

Luo Lan opened her hand, and Elle was already stamping her feet.

"It's dark, it's time to eat, stupid prince, give me back to the palace to eat, I'll entertain them!"

Laughter.

Five days later, Aiman headed north with the fleet.

Three merchant ships, loaded with inferior wheat wine, which only the peasants wanted to drink.

Of course, there are also a few barrels of rum hidden in the barrels of wheat wine, which is gold in the sand.

In the port on the west coast, Luo Lan watched the fleet go away, and the people on the shore also waved vigorously.

On the warship, Aiyiman's eyes wandered, and he kept staring at Luo Lan standing in the wind.

Mead next to him said softly, "It's windy, let's go back to the cabin." ”

Ai Yiman snorted, took one last look at Luo Lan, and hummed a little song and went back to the cabin.

The workers on the shore gradually dispersed, and many people still had to build the port.

And Luo Lan exhaled hot air and moved his hands and feet, and found Bol.

Bor was relatively quiet at the moment, but he repaired the road and joined the work of repairing the port.

But since the workers who repaired the port were already saturated, he couldn't help much.

Luo Lan came to him to ask about the worker's situation.

Bor said happily: "Your Highness, after the road is repaired, most of the workers are idle, they are cutting wood to build houses, and everyone is doing well. ”

Most of these workers are residents of Phuket City who have moved west and own land on the west coast. Now I don't have a job, and I start tossing my own land.

This is a good thing, and it shows that people are willing to settle here.

But what about after settling in?

The port had not yet prospered, and the inhabitants had exceeded five thousand, and the prince had to provide work. One Rick Special Industrial Zone alone cannot absorb so many workers.

It is still a handicraft industry, and if the handicraft industry does not develop, the rise of Phuket Island is empty talk.

Luo Lan looked to the south, wondering how Charles's job was going and whether the agricultural market was going well.

When he thinks of Charles, Luo Lan inevitably thinks of Gandalf.

The old minister has been away from Buji City for a long time, he coordinates the provincial system and the household registration system, as well as the promotion of the distribution of fields to households, the work is the most difficult, and he is an old bone, Luo Lan is very worried about him.

Just as he was worried, several fast horses suddenly rushed over from the direction of the industrial base.

Immediately there were the Phuket City Guards and a gray-haired old man.

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

"Gandalf!"

He galloped over, and Gandalf dismounted excitedly, looking very old and strong.

"Your Highness, I'm back!"

Gandalf's eyes were red, and he could hardly hold back his tears, his relationship with His Royal Highness had already surpassed that of the monarch and his ministers.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Luo Lan hugged Gandalf and hugged him a few times, causing everyone to laugh.

Gandalf was suddenly embarrassed, he was not as eclectic as Luo Lan.

After a brief meeting, Luo Lan took Gandalf to the tavern to eat, and got all the delicious food.

Gandalf was quite emotional, he returned to Phuket City, saw a clean and new city, also went to see the bombs, and then rushed to the special industrial zone.

In the fields of Uttar Pradesh, he saw unimaginable abundance of wheat, and in the special industrial zone, he saw amazing wide roads, energetic workers, and well-planned ports.

"Your Highness, you are right, alchemy is not a demonic art."

Gandalf lamented that he wanted to apologize to Rick now.

Luo Lan poured him wine: "It's okay, it's all my own people, everything is fine, we will be better in the future." ”

Gandalf took a sip of the ale and stopped thinking about anything superfluous.

He started to debrief.

"Your Highness, all eight provinces have elected governors, and most of the villages have also elected village chiefs. Except for the mountainous southwest, the rest of the region has promoted the method of dividing fields into households and ridge farming, but it will take a long time to count household registration. ”

"I have urged the provinces and towns to build farmers' markets, and to use the homesteads left by the nobles, whose castles and houses can be rebuilt, and their roads can be used."

"The taxing power of local officials has also been initially established, and I believe that there will be taxes in the palace in the coming year."

Gandalf said a lot, all good news, but there was a hint of worry in his face.

Luo Lan asked him if there was any bad news.

Gandalf nodded: "This winter is very cold, it's just winter, and it's already much colder than in previous years." Your Highness, you may not feel it, but the peasants in the south say that it is cold, and if it snows, many people will even freeze to death, and this has always been the case. ”
