Chapter Eighty-Nine: Leaving the Castle

Liu Yifeng's shop is closed.

However, the delicacies in his store that were coveted by other restaurants did not disappear, but appeared in the major restaurants and restaurants in Mishan City. The characteristics of each one are not the same, but each one will have ten kinds of food that appeared in Liu Yifeng's store before. This made Zhang Junqi's teeth itch later, but when he went to Liu Yifeng to settle the account, he was faced with people going to the empty building.

After Liu Yifeng used 10 recipes and a vat of bald butter to deal with Zhang Jun, he went to visit the major restaurants in Yushan City one by one. bluntly said that he was forced by others, and he may not be able to stay in Dongshan Prefecture anymore, and he wants to sell the recipe to make money back to his hometown.

This is simply a sleepy pillow, and none of the restaurants have a bargain in the face of Liu Yifeng's offer, especially when Liu Yifeng is still teaching in front of their own chefs, none of the shopkeepers of these restaurants feel that this transaction is at a loss. It is one thing to know the recipes, and it is another thing to teach them by hand, and the latter alone can be charged again alone.

In this way, he earned more than 400 taels in a week, but the money changed hands and went to Feng Shuo's crotch: he bought him a batch of war horses.

There is no shortage of horses in Dongshan Prefecture, but war horses are different from ordinary foot horses, and the money spent to train a war horse can train 3-5 horses. Moreover, the horse business in Dongshan Prefecture is monopolized by the Maritime Safety Bureau, which is also one of the last resort means of the Maritime Safety Bureau.

There are no horses in Dongshan Prefecture itself, not only no horses, but also large livestock such as cattle and sheep, at least not in the areas found by the Maritime Administration.

Some explorers say that they have seen the skull of a cow in the brown-skinned savage tribe in the eastern mountains, but the skull is different from the buffalo and the ox in the Central Plains, and it is much larger.

However, when it comes to the land of Dongshan Prefecture, it seems that animals are easy to grow up.

There is also a huge chicken, which I don't know who took the name "turkey".

No one knows why the turkey is called turkey, but its meat is really unpalatable.

At first, the Maritime Safety Bureau was very excited to see such a big chicken, and thought that bringing it back to the mainland would allow people all over the world to eat cheap chicken. As a result, after hunting countless chickens, it was found that the turkey meat was woody to a certain extent, and it did not taste good after cooking for a long time, let alone other cooking methods.

However, meat is still meat, and the Maritime Safety Bureau brought back the live turkey, and after studying it for a long time, it came to the conclusion that it can be used as an ornamental bird, and it is not recommended to raise it on a large scale.

At present, all the cattle, sheep and horses in Dongshan Prefecture are brought over for grazing by the breeds of the Central Plains. Sheep are 1 year old adults, cattle are 2 years old, horses are 3 years old, and cattle, sheep and horses from the Central Plains outside Jishan City and Yushan City have been breeding in Dongshan Prefecture for at least 5 generations.

But Jinshan City is different, there is no big cattle sold there, all the cattle, sheep, horses, and even mules are all brought by the trading houses and explorers themselves.

"Li Hongji, give my horse a name."

Li Hongji looked at Feng Shuo's baby and his own war horse, and said with some taste: "Why don't you go to the big boss to get it for you." ”

Feng Shuo glanced at Daha, Sanha and Siha, who were playing wildly on the side, and did not speak with a disgusted face.

Zheng Zhilong interjected: "How about it if it's not called a frightening wind?" ”

"Shocking wind! That's a good name! Feng Shuo was very satisfied, and he was very proud that he didn't go to Liu Yifeng, he didn't want his baby horse to be named a big horse, a second horse or a third horse.

"Speaking of which, what about Liu Yifeng?"

Feng Shuo pointed to the position of the stern outside the cabin and said, "In the back." ”

After closing the store, Liu Yifeng's team was divided into three parts, and he himself went to various restaurants to discuss the sale of recipes.

Feng Shuo and Zheng Zhilong took some people to purchase various materials, and it was at that time that the frightening wind bought.

Li Hongji and Kim Seung-woo took the remaining Jurchens and Goryeo people to the foot of the mountain and began to train them according to Liu Yifeng's request. These Jurchens and Goryeo people have been doing so well lately, and they have suddenly been strictly trained and complained one by one.

But what is even more painful is that after Liu Yifeng also arrived to deal with the foreign recipes, he directly took out the regulations for the training of the army in later generations and began to train this group of subordinates who were becoming more and more scattered.

It lasted until the ship to Kanayama Castle sailed.

However, even on the ship, Liu Yifeng did not relax his destruction of them, and at present, under the completely puzzled gaze of the crew and sailors, they are doing jacking and closing burpees in batches in the open space.

Even the owner and captain of the ship who accompanied Liu Yifeng to observe at the stern couldn't help but look back at them frequently. The owner of the ship is lamenting that Liu Yifeng's group of explorers are too disciplined, and they are all retired soldiers, and the owner is feeling sorry for his deck.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, where did you find so many retired soldiers?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, they are all sons and daughters who retired with me in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate."

Zhang's shopkeeper is Liu Yifeng, and he used a fake name again, because Zhang Jun cheated him, he used Zhang Jun's name. As for the king's treasurer, he is the owner of the ship.

"I can't see that the shopkeeper Zhang is young, and he has already made great military achievements." This is both a compliment and a temptation, after all, Liu Yifeng is too young.

The team that has been trained by Liu Yifeng for more than half a month is indeed explicitly forbidden in this era, and this is a characteristic of the army. So even if Liu Yifeng is too young, Shopkeeper Wang is also skeptical.

This is also deliberate by Liu Yifeng.

The military training is to fatten up these people during this time, and change their lazy habits, and secondly, to set up a character for themselves to go south to Jinshan City.

His current name is Zhang Jun, a retired soldier from the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and he brought his brothers who fought with him to Mobei to Dongshan Prefecture, and when he heard that there was a gold mine in Dongshan Prefecture, he deliberately went south to dig for gold.

This is his current personality.

This character is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially after seeing Liu Yifeng's strong discipline and his own strength, most people will accept this character as soon as possible.

And in the early contact between Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Zhang, Liu Yifeng also deliberately leaked the fire gun on the waist of himself, Feng Shuo, Li Hongji and Zheng Zhilong.

The shopkeeper of the king knows how to know the goods, and at a glance he knows that it is a spring wheel gun. This thing is extremely rare on the black market, and he suspects that these retired soldiers must have been smuggled out by using their connections before retiring, maybe it was for this reason that they came to Dongshan Prefecture.

His conjecture aside, Liu Yifeng's character design has had an effect.

"Shopkeeper Wang, why don't I think this ship is like our Ming ship?"

This question was what Liu Yifeng wanted to ask when he first saw the ship in the port, because it was a typical small Karak ship.

The length of the hull is about 30 meters, except for the main mast with square soft sails, the auxiliary masts are hung with triangular soft sails. The overall tonnage should be around 500 tons, and it can carry 80-130 people, which is a very common type of merchant ship in the Europa Sea in this era.

"Shopkeeper Zhang has a unique eye, this is indeed not my Ming ship, I bought it from a Dutch merchant." The shopkeeper of the king was proud for a year: "The cargo capacity of this ship is less than that of the Guangchuan Fuship, but the speed is fast." ”

The shopkeeper was indeed very proud.

At present, most people in the Ming Dynasty still think that hard sails are king.

Soft sails are used on warships, and the operation is too complicated, requiring too many crews, which indirectly increases the cost. And apart from the Ministry of Industry and the Navy, there are no craftsmen who have mastered the way to manufacture and maintain soft sailing ships, and they don't know what to do if something goes wrong.

But the shopkeeper didn't think so.

His family was born in a family of shipbuilders, and when Zheng He went to the West, there were ancestors of his family among the shipbuilders who built ships. As one of the first people in the Wanli Dynasty to open his eyes to the world, he has already seen the limitations of hard sails.

"Although the Dutch and Francois look like ghosts and have a terrible smell on their bodies, their ability to build ships is really good."

Then his words made Liu Yifeng look at him with admiration.

Shopkeeper Wang believes that the speed of shipping in the future is the key, and no matter how much the carrying capacity is, the speed is not fast enough is actually indirectly increasing the cost.

"For example, on the route between Ganshan City and Jinshan City, the time for running two trips with hard sails is enough for me to run three times. Admittedly, I need more crew on one of my ships than they do, but the money I earned on my third trip will cover the cost. ”

"Shopkeeper Wang is going to take the route of Jishan City and Jinshan City in the future?"

Unexpectedly, after Liu Yifeng's question ran out, Shopkeeper Wang's smug expression dimmed: "I want to run, but the carrying capacity between these two cities is too small." ”
