Luo Lan's reluctance to abandon Aiyiman is certainly not because she is beautiful, but because she is important to Phuket.

A fleet, a route, is far more important than cargo.

But at present, Luo Lan has indeed encountered a lot of trouble.

He drank wheat porridge and laughed with Aiman as he thought about how to break the deadlock.

However, when everyone was full of food and drink, Luo Lan still didn't think of a way.

Instead, Mead asked Ai Yiman about the rum, and he was very excited: "Prince Luo Lan, you really have such a magical thing?" ”

Luo Lan nodded, and Mead rubbed his hands excitedly, "No wonder Ai Yiman insists on returning south, there is such a magical wine." Great, with rum, we have capital to rise! ”

Mead was overjoyed too early, and Luo Lan smiled bitterly: "The trade pattern on the sea is much more cruel than I imagined, and there is no strong force behind you, so it is unreliable to use rum to rise." ”

The reason why the three hegemonic fleets control the maritime trade pattern is because the forces behind them are strong, and self-employed households like the cute Iman fleet have no foundation at all.

Ai Yiman also understands her situation, if she is not targeted by Adri, she still has a chance to make a little money, but now it is impossible to earn a single gold coin.

Mead heard that Luo Lan woke up, and his face immediately turned pale, and he slapped the table fiercely: "Hateful!" Damn Adri! ”

Luo Lan and Ai Yiman were silent.

Luo Lan got up and paced a few steps, her brows furrowed slightly.

"I'll go to the rum bar first, and I'll think about the sea trade later."

Luo Lan knows that he can't be impatient, maritime trade is like a war, and one wrong step may lead to a catastrophe.

Aiyiman and Mead also agreed, and followed Luo Lan to Boogie City that day.

The journey to Phuket City begins with a horseback ride along the wide stone roads of the west coast and then through the endless farmland of Uttar Pradesh.

Whether it's the stone road or the farmland, they all shocked Aiman and Meade.

Mead marveled all the way: "Prince Luo Lan, how long did it take you to travel more than ten kilometers?" I guess it was only recently repaired, right? Two years? You've been cultivating since you were exiled? It's unbelievable how flat and strong it is. ”

Mead knew about Luo Lan's exile experience, and he felt that Luo Lan had been engaged in construction for a long time.

Luo Lan smiled slightly: "About three months." ”

"Huh?"

Mead's jaw dropped in shock, and Ai Yiman was stunned, her pretty face and stunned expression amused and charming.

Luo Lan smiled secretly, and Barrett, who was escorting a few people, proudly shouted: "Don't believe it, we have more than 5,000 people with one heart, we work very fast, and there is also a ...... of Blackstone."

Barrett said that Heishi suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Luo Lan, and asked him with his eyes if he could say anything.

In Ai Yiman and Mead's surprised expressions, Luo Lan spoke by herself.

"We used the Black Stone, and sooner or later this thing will spread to the whole world, but unfortunately no one wants to buy it now."

Luo Lan does not hide the matter of coal, he knows that the important thing is not coal, because coal is everywhere, it is not worth anything at all, what is valuable is the derivatives of coal, and that is the science and technology that needs to be kept secret.

As for the use of coal, it is impossible to hide it at all, and it is only a matter of time before others know about it. Luo Lan even hoped that the rest of the countries would use coal as soon as possible to help him share the pressure he might face in the future.

"No wonder the mine was full of black stones, and I wondered why the workers didn't dislike it, because they were using it. Why aren't they poisoned? ”

Ai Yimanqi said, Luo Lan shrugged and said, "Just disperse the poisonous gas." ”

This is a very simple principle, but due to the suppression of the church and the blackstone annihilation incident that year, everyone did not explore this truth, and missed the great energy in vain.

Aiyman and Mead looked at each other, they were still skeptical, but they had also seen the situation in the mining area, so they had to believe it.

"Your Royal Highness, you are such a strange person."

Mead sighed, no longer having the disdain and disgust he had before.

Luo Lan was silent and sped up.

Later, Aiman and Mead looked at the farmland of Uttar Pradesh and saw the wheat growing in the farmland, and were once again shocked.

This kind of growth is impossible for any country to see, not even the Nanyuan Territory, which has the best land.

"Didn't you plough the fields with a three-garden system?"

Mead had a sharp eye and spotted ridges and furrows.

Luo Lan does not hide it, because there is no need to hide the ridge cultivation method, and sooner or later this will be promoted by farmers to the world.

The biggest contributor to the prosperity of Phuket agriculture is wheat, which is the core technology and the technology that can make money.

After listening to Luo Lan's ridge cultivation method, Mead was already impressed by the five-body planting method, because Luo Lan had put an end to the three-garden system that had been used for hundreds of years.

Ai Yiman didn't speak, and his blue eyes looked at Luo Lan quietly.

Finally, in the afternoon, several people stepped into Phuket City.

There is no doubt that Aiyman and Mead were shocked again, they were shocked many times along the way, and their resistance was already very strong, but they were still shocked to see the neat and clean city of Phuket.

"That's ......," Aiman said, pointing to a garbage heap made of several wooden barrels not far away.

"That's the garbage can, there are hundreds of garbage cans in our city, people can't litter, and there is a special place for toilets......"

The proud Barrett explained that he couldn't wait for people from all over the world to come and see Luo Lan's royal city.

Luo Lan was very calm, these were nothing.

He waved his hand and took Eiman and Meade to the rum workshop.

Of course, the two of them could not enter the confidential place of the workshop, and could only wait outside.

Barrett went in on his own, shouted for a while, and came out with a group of winemakers.

The winemakers were more excited than anyone else because the buyers came.

They deliberately brought out a small barrel of brewed rum and a few wooden spoons.

Ai Yiman and Mead watched curiously.

When the lid of the barrel was opened, a peculiar aroma of wine wafted out.

It is completely different from the taste of wheat wine, with the sweetness of sugar and the aroma of wine.

On earth, rum is not a valuable thing, but here, it is definitely a star-level liquor, slinged wheat wine and wine.

"This is rum?"

Mead swallowed, he was a heavy drinker, and he couldn't help but move his index finger as he smelled the rum.

Barrett gave him a wooden spoon, and he eagerly scooped it up and drank it.

"Good!" As soon as he took a sip of his throat, Mead immediately let out a voice of admiration, "It's delicious, it's better than wine in terms of texture and taste, and it can prevent scurvy, it's simply a god's wine!" ”

Meade's praise made the winemakers happy, and they looked at each other as if they saw a myriad of gold coins rolling in.

Luo Lan spoke: "Ai Yiman, rum can only be drunk by your crew, and cannot be sold for the time being, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Ai Yiman is a smart person, she showed her white teeth, and brushed the braid of her ear: "Thank you Prince Luo Lan for your great kindness......"

As she spoke, she generously pulled Luo Lan aside: "Hey, look at me so beautiful, tell me the formula." ”

Luo Lan sneered: "You are really thick-skinned." ”

Ai Yiman didn't feel that she was thick-skinned at all, and she smiled sweetly at Luo Lan: "Your Royal Highness, you give me the formula, I can do land business in the north and open up a new situation." ”

She is worthy of being a pirate queen, and her mind is really active.

However, Luo Lan also smiled sweetly: "I don't want to cultivate a competitor to come out, unless you are my person." ”

"How simple is this, I will be a person from Phuket in the future, and everything will be listened to the prince."

Ai Yiman did not give up, Luo Lan squinted: "You think about my words more deeply." ”

Ai Yiman was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and suddenly looked disgusted: "I don't want to be your concubine, my dream is on the sea." ”

"So, you'd better buy my bar."
