Chapter 700: Embarrassment (Two Chapters in One)
A military exercise, I don't know how many young people have been shocked.
The third son and the fourth son of the Wang family, who accompanied several elders of their family, were also invited over and sat in the high stands.
From the roar of the cannon and the battle between the soldiers, the old men of the Wang family tended to be silent, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, frown slightly, glance at each other, and talk in a low voice.
"When I did that exercise the year before last, the ships were not half of what they are now, so what kind of artillery was not so accurate, right?"
"No, hey, it's really changing with each passing day......
In the past, their Wang family's shipyard was the largest shipyard in Nan'an City, and the Great Zhou court also valued their family very much.
Although the situation at home is not bad now, or even better, and it is more decent to go out, all kinds of constraints are also uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and the old people really can't help but miss the beginning.
And the old craftsmen of the Wang family are becoming more and more unable to use the old technology of the Wang family, and those old craftsmen of the Wang family either completely voted for the king of the people, learned the latest technology, and changed their faces, or they were excluded from the inner circle and could only fight outside.
It is no longer that the Sea King cannot leave the Wang family, but that the Wang family cannot leave the Sea King.
Several old men sighed, and when they looked up, they saw Xiao Shi and Xiao Eleven in the family, as well as their two little nephews, standing next to the Sea King in high spirits, tall and energetic.
Thinking of the juniors of the Wang family's side branch, he chose a few concubines with excellent looks from the family, carefully adjusted and taught, and planned to tell the second son of the Fang family, but he was deflated for a while.
These children also played tricks in a similar way, but they tossed and turned, and they all treated the Fang family as the lord, it was simply a posture of choosing a master to rely on!
"Forget it, now that we have become an old bone, maybe when will we go into the ground, our children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, where do we still need to worry about it?"
They whispered a few words in private, Fang Ruohua was not in pain, and he was just idle at this time, so he simply personally led the bold lord of the country who dared to run all the way to Nan'an, and a group of guests from foreign countries, to visit the street slowly.
Like dockyards, iron factories and other places, outsiders can't take a closer look, that is, they know that they don't care how they look at it, and they can't see anything, but they are not afraid of 10,000 just in case.
The confidentiality regulations are not a joke there, Fang Ruohua must also strictly abide by them, and when they go to the newly built street on this boat island, everyone can appreciate all the magnificent scenery as much as they want.
New Street, near the wharf, is flanked by a department store to the east and a small market to the west, with a thrift center in between.
It is the May Festival, when the common people wear the best clothes at home and invite their friends to come, even if they are stingy, they will inevitably add one or two new clothes to their wives and children, and buy two fresh food.
The flow of people in the street market is surging, shoulder to shoulder, whether they are familiar with each other or strange, get together and say three words to mature people, get together to discuss who has the best performance, who can win the first prize in this year's sailing competition, and the interest comes up, you can't help but take out a penny or two to gamble and join in the fun.
Nan'an City usually prohibits gambling, and there is only the May Festival a year, and during the Spring Festival, the control is more relaxed.
The lord of this small country looked left and right, and his eyes were barely enough.
Before morning, a few of his entourages already had a big burden on their shoulders, and a lot of small burdens.
Li Wenhan was very enthusiastic, and almost praised Fang Ruohua like a fairy in the sky.
Fang Ruohua was even more enthusiastic, and he also blew Li Wenhan like a man descended from heaven to save Fu Min from fire and water, which means that if Fu Min did not have him, he might be dead tomorrow.
"His Royal Highness the Sea King is rich all over the world, and the courage of the naval army under his command is unparalleled, if Wen Han can be compared to what happens, it will be worth this life."
Li Wenhan's cheeks were red with excitement.
Fang Ruohua smiled and said with a humble expression: "Why did the country lord say this? If Hua knew the name of the lord of the country, you inherited the throne at the age of eleven, although you encountered the usurpation of power by the virtuous king, but you could not bear it, at the age of fifteen, you went incognito to study in the Great Zhou, and even worshiped the famous scholar as a teacher, and after the foundation of Sinology, even your majesty today praised your ambition, only eighteen years old, in one fell swoop to drive out the troubled virtuous king, unified Fumin, how remarkable! ”
Her words and demeanor were sincere, and when the people in Fumin heard it, they were all moved, and they felt that the Sea King actually knew them so well about the lord of Fumin, which made people's faces shine, and Li Wenhan couldn't help but burst into tears, and for a while, he almost regarded Fang Ruohua as the only confidant in his life.
Nightgirl: ...... As soon as Fumin's envoys arrived, they didn't know who asked them to read through all kinds of information about the lord of Fumin, and said that the small lord of the country was simply unlucky, and he was forced to stay in his own country, so he could only take refuge in Dazhou.
If it weren't for the fact that the virtuous king himself died too much, the ministers of Fumin would not have thought of finding the lord of the country again.
His own Sea King also said a while ago that the civil strife in Fumin is very good, the more chaotic the better, if it doesn't get messy, a lot of business can't be done.
Now the words of praise are so fluent.
Well, it's true that your own wife is not a particularly thin-skinned person.
After a while, Li Wenhan decided to purchase a batch of cotton cloth and went back to the workshop with his subordinates to see the quality of the fabric.
"I still have to admit that it is very troublesome to be the master of a country, so I accompanied him to walk around the street for half a day, which is even more tiring than dealing with those squires in Nan'an City, and there is a temptation in three sentences, and my heart is full of our ships, which is really difficult to deal with."
Nightgirl: "......"
Avoiding Fang Ruohua, Li Wenhan saw the mountains of fabrics on the counter, and ordered the people below to buy them, and his expression was also a little regretful.
"His Royal Highness the Sea King is really tight-mouthed, it's really hard to fool."
When he was in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the emperor dared to fool, and he also fooled away a lot of blacksmiths and a large number of materials.
"She is really qualified to be the queen of our Fumin, and it is not a pity to allow her half of the country, and half of this king."
Anyway, that half of the country is still in the hands of the rebels and thieves, and they have not been taken back for the time being.
Li Wenhan shook his head again, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
The elder beside him, who was also a national teacher of Fumin, laughed when he heard this, shook his head and joked, "It's rare that with the beauty of the lord of the country, there are even women who can resist." ”
General Fu Min, who has not spoken much, actually shrugged his shoulders: "The Sea King is also a big expert in military training, it is worth learning, well, marriage is a good way, the Sea King is unwilling to marry, it is not bad for us to marry a noble son, the people in the royal family, all beautiful, I believe that the Sea King will definitely be able to match." ”
One article and one martial arts, the two right-hand men have begun to think together, and they have screened the good-looking sons of the royal family, and almost in a short period of time, they have selected seven or eight sons and brothers who are outstanding in literature and must please girls.
The national teacher nodded: "Go back and ask the lord of the country to personally draw the portraits of the sons and send them to the Sea King." ”
Before Li Wenhan could say anything, the spies in the workshop who pretended to be selecting fabrics were already dumbfounded.
This is a blatant attempt to make a beautiful man!
Looking at Li Wenhan's appearance again, several spies felt that it was not easy for them to be the Sea King, and it was very difficult to resist such a beauty scheme.
Regardless of how the two sides complained in private and how their subordinates collapsed, on the surface, Ruohua and Li Wenhan still reached an agreement that both parties were satisfied with.
For example, a small island in Fumin could be leased to Fang Ruohua's fleet for transit.
Fang Ruohua promised to sell cloth, clothing, refined salt and even grain and other materials at low prices, and purchased Fumin's wood and medicinal materials in large quantities.
As for the boats, of course, the best ones will not be sold, but the inferior ones are not negotiable.
Even if the advanced ship Fang Ruohua does not sell it, those obsolete products that have been transformed from previous warships are, in Li Wenhan's view, very advanced and sufficient. On top of that, it's much cheaper to purchase than to build it yourself, and it saves time and effort.
Both sides are very cooperative.
Fang Ruohua has always wanted to open up the market.
Most of the things that were produced in the beginning of Funajima were able to be digested internally, and as the production capacity became higher and higher, the various products in the warehouse were backlogged, and they were in urgent need of sales.
Troubled times are coming, whether it is to protect yourself in troubled times, or to go further to fight for the world, money is indispensable.
Fang Ruohua holds the gold bricks in his hand, and he still doesn't dislike more money.
Training is the most expensive to train soldiers, not to mention that most of the soldiers she trains are still the most expensive navy.
Those ships looked majestic, and a short time was enough for her to dominate the sea, but they were all piled up with gold and silver.
What the soldiers ate, what they fed, what they used to be weaponry, especially shells and ammunition which were purely expendable, did not cost money?
Fang Ruohua instilled the importance of money in her subordinates early on, and now everyone in her family has gone into the eyes of money, and no one is generous.
Yegu glanced at the lady and the lord of the country who were talking happily, rolled up her sleeves, called Shang Chunyu, and the companions in charge of commerce, and the envoys of Fumin to start talking about business.
The first two masters are harmonious and angry.
A group of subordinates in the back are arguing with each other, you fight for me, and they refuse to give in even half a tael of silver, and they refuse to eat a loss.
Fang Ruohua and Li Wenhan talk about cooperation, at most, they can grasp the general direction, and the specific affairs still have to be discussed by the people under them.
The two of them went shopping leisurely, as if they were completely unaware of the murderous appearance of their subordinates.
In private, I feel that the other party has a future, but in this world, the person who is the master of the house is not thick-skinned, his heart is not black, and he doesn't know what it means to be careful, how can he develop and grow his career?
After noon, the sun became a little dimmer, not so hot, Fang Ruohua also accompanied the guests for more than an hour, his stomach was empty, a little hungry, and he was about to find a clean restaurant to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple, when he saw that he didn't know what was going on in front of him, and a group of passers-by stopped.
Li Wenhan was obviously a little curious, raised his feet and walked over, and the night aunt frowned unconsciously, and glanced left and right.
The business of the island is large, and the flow of people is also large, so naturally there are many troubles.
Although Fang Ruohua really hopes that the people on his territory are well-behaved, how can that be possible?
The thirteen divisions under the jurisdiction of Hailongwei are responsible for the security of the seven commercial streets on the island of Ship, and in just a few years, they have expanded from 80 people to 600 people, but there are so many people, only in charge of these few streets, they are still busy every day, and sometimes they can't even eat a hot meal.
Regardless of criminal cases, the Thirteen Divisions deal with trivial matters, such as fights, sales disputes, and theft.
There are very few really big cases on the island of Funa, and it is these small disputes that really torment people.
Usually, they are used to seeing this kind of small disputes, and they don't take it seriously, but today there are foreign guests, and it is not long after the end of the May Festival celebration, so that the guests can see the dark side of the island of Funjima, which always makes everyone look bad.
Li Wenhan had all passed, and Fang Ruohua led the night aunts to rush over.
There are many restaurants in the market, and the buildings are different, some are small wooden buildings, and some are made of bricks and stones.
Not far from the street, this wine shop is a house made of pebbles, shells, wood blocks, and clay directly from the sea, very delicate and beautiful, and the walls are entwined with countless vines and flowers.
Yegu looked over, coughed lightly, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and couldn't laugh: "It's the second son." ”
Inside the lobby of the restaurant.
On the left are three dark-skinned men, dressed in simple shorts, with shabby straw sandals under their feet, revealing cracked toenails, sweating profusely and exuding a hint of sea.
All three of them looked down and trembled with anger as they stared at the broken rattan baskets on the ground, as well as the corals and dragons that rolled to the ground.
The man at the head suddenly raised his head, stared at Yan Huihui and Fang Erwa, and said angrily in an unskilled official language: "You destroy my elixir, damn, damn!" ”
Yan Huihui looked frightened and dragged Zhao Yihan to death.
Zhao Yihan frowned, his face embarrassed.
Just now, the three guests entered the lobby of the restaurant, and as soon as they sat down, they sat down on the chair to their left, right next to Huihui.
Huihui is a girl, and when she saw three untidy and vicious men at first glance, she was naturally scared and unconsciously shrunk.
The second baby didn't want to make Huihui uncomfortable, so he stepped forward and told the three of them to go eat elsewhere.
It's just that the second baby is a little impatient to speak, and the three people are also hot-tempered, and there was a conflict for a while.
At this time, the three men's eyes were red, their fists were clenched, their muscles were exposed, and they glared angrily at Fang Erwa, who almost wanted to choose someone to eat.
Fang Erwa was startled, her legs were slightly weak, she glanced at Yan Huihui from the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, took a step forward to block in front of the beauty, and said sharply: "What do you want to do?" Stay away from Miss Yan. ”
When the three men saw that he had destroyed his own elixir, he was still so arrogant, where could he endure it, and rushed over in anger with a punch.
In front of Yan Huihui, Fang Erwa refused to give in and lose face, and also stepped forward and rushed over to fight with these three people.
For a while, fists and feet flew wildly, cups and plates were broken, tables and chairs fell, and guests avoided one after another.
