"Xiao Han, don't deceive people too much!"

Lorenson saw that Xiao Han really wanted to drive him away, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

"Too much deception?"

"I'm powerful and sweep in all directions, what about bullying you?"

"Get out!"

Xiao Leng snorted, and Jiang You directly threw the person out.

"My lord, we..."

Seeing that he was driven out, his subordinates couldn't help but speak.

"Shut up!"

Lorenson said coldly.

"Or..."

"Shut up !!"

……

British Mansion.

"Isn't this the envoy from Lancang?"

"How did you get thrown out of you?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han, who was standing with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, this guy wants me to persuade my dad to take his life back."

Xiao Han smiled.

"Isn't that funny?"

"Persuade Dad?"

"Dad advises you to be more reliable than this."

Zhu Biao laughed out loud.

"Isn't it?"

"By the way, you guys are all kinds of craftsmen?"

Xiao Han was also happy, and then saw Shan Anren who was following Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness."

Shan Anren saluted Xiao Han.

"Shan Shangshu is exempt."

Xiao Han stretched out his hand to help Shan Anren up.

"Back to Your Highness, all kinds of craftsmen required by Your Highness have basically been gathered, especially blacksmiths, who have gathered in large numbers, and the lower officials have come to ask, when will we start construction?"

"Although those craftsmen don't dare to talk to me about the conditions, they will inevitably be dissatisfied if they stay here for a long time in vain."

Shan Anren said to Xiao Han.

"Hmm."

"In that case, let's start work as soon as possible."

"When you leave, remember to arrange a team of Ming soldiers to accompany you."

"Let's choose this place located in the southern Xinjiang of central Shu, and there are many barbarians around who are still undisciplined, so don't let them spoil your plan."

Xiao Han walked to the map and pointed to the place that he and Zhu Biao had chosen before.

"Why don't you let Mu Ying arrange people to protect it."

"He's over there now, and he's more familiar with the area."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"Okay."

Xiao Han nodded casually, he didn't care who arranged it, the important thing was that someone watched to make sure it was safe.

"Your Highness, look at the buildings around the blast furnace, is there any problem with us building it like this?"

Shan Anren held a drawing in both hands.

A blast furnace is not a small project, especially a hydraulic blast furnace like Daming, when the water power is insufficient, it also needs manpower for post-processing.

Next to every blast furnace, there will be no shortage of busy people.

The food, clothing, shelter and transportation of this group of people have to be solved within this range.

After all, the blacksmith is not a homeless person, everyone can make iron in their hometown to live, and now they work for the imperial court, if life is not as good as before, even if they dare not say anything, they will not work hard.

"This canteen should not be built next to the river, but will be built here with an iron department and a sorting line."

"Recruit some people to identify the iron products produced, those that have passed the qualifications can be transported directly, those that need to be processed by blacksmiths, and those that need to be returned to the furnace."

Xiao Han opened his mouth to explain.

"The British public is talented, and the next official is not as good as in case."

Listening to Xiao Han's description, Shan Anren's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Where?"

"Actually, I didn't say it too clearly."

"Oh yes, and here, you've built the wharf too small, and the amount of iron produced by the blast furnace is at least enough to accommodate three merchant ships carrying goods side by side."

"In this way, this land produces steel, towards the river, and reaches Yingtian, and I have all kinds of armor and swords, artillery and warships, and the output in Yingtianfu can be endless."

"At that time, I will be Ming, and all warships can be armored with iron, and it will be easy to run rampant all over the world."

Xiao Han continued to speak.

"With such a warship, can we go to Fusang to find gold and silver?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

Xiao Han's words, he remembered that there were mountains of gold and silver in the Fusang Islands, which could ease the finances of the Ming Dynasty and re-bind the Ming treasure banknotes to more stable gold and silver.

At this time, Zhu Biao was more anxious than Xiao Han, especially during this time, studying Ming economics.

Zhu Biao finally understood that the problem that may be brought about by continuing to bind grain is that the Ming Dynasty does not exchange grain for foreign countries, so it can be stable.

But this kind of thing is not absolute, they always have a way to take advantage of the loopholes of the Ming Dynasty.

Once there is a famine in the Ming Dynasty, these guys will rush up, and the Ming Dynasty will return to the "pre-liberation" once and for a while.

"Why are you more anxious than me?"

"Don't worry, I already have arrangements in mind about that place, as long as our ironclad battleship is built, then we only need to wait for an opportunity."

"And this opportunity, if you pinch your fingers, will appear soon."

"Yao Guangxiao!"

"Tell us about our plans."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

"After the calculation of the lower officials, this year I have the appearance of ten thousand Buddhas in the Ming Dynasty, one Buddha belongs to the soil, the mountains are stacked, and the other Buddha belongs to the water, and the waves are thousands of miles."

"That Lancang is in response to the worship of the Buddha, the land is mountainous, and it is a country of Buddhism, so there should be an island country on the sea to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty."

Yao Guangxiao walked out of the side in black clothes and said, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was an old god stick.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be that the Fusang Congress on the sea surrendered to my Ming Dynasty? Avoid a war? ”

Zhu Biao suddenly felt interesting.

"Definitely."

"The results show that the water Buddha is not obvious, and it is even inferior to the earth Buddha, and although the Fusang is chaotic and narrow-minded, it is also the Lancang that has existed since the Han and Tang dynasties, and the national strength is not the first time that it can be compared."

"According to my speculation, it should come from here."

Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth to explain, came to the map, and drew a circle in the sea area between Fusang and Daming.

"This is..."

Zhu Biao stared at this, his brows furrowed.

The level of mapping in this era was not too high, and the small islands in the sea were inconspicuous.

"This is the Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyus."

"They stand on the sea, but they are watery, the place is narrow, and the unification has not been completed, so it is not as good as the Lancang Kingdom, if a certain thing is not bad, it should be here."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can persuade His Majesty to send envoys to these three kingdoms, and these three kingdoms will inevitably be attached."

Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth and sweated silently in his heart.

Xiao Han said that this year, the three kingdoms will definitely take refuge in Daming and let him perform, so he can only bite the bullet.

Xiao Han is naturally not talking nonsense, in history, the three kingdoms of the Ryukyus established contact with the Ming Dynasty in this year, and finally became the subject country of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a period of division or unification.

And Xiao Han, who had already put his mind on the past, naturally did not intend to let go of this opportunity, this was the bridgehead for him to conquer Fusang and meddle in the situation in Fusang.

During the Hongmu period, it also happened to be the strong period of the Fuso Muromachi shogunate, and soon after the shogunate ended the unification of the northern and southern dynasties, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu worked hard to implement many policies, and the national strength was not bad.

Although waiting for the ironclad fleet of the Daming Navy Division to be built, it is not impossible to directly ship the power cannon and fly the dragon to ride the face.

But the so-called, the first army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city.

Xiao Han is a strategist who prefers to use his brains to fight, since he has the springboard of the Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyus, if he doesn't muddy the water first, and then torture the country hard, Xiao Han himself will feel that this battle has been lost.

In fact, Fusang at this time looks pretty good, but in fact, there are many internal contradictions, at least their emperor should still not be very happy to be a puppet all the time.

Once the Ming envoy descends on the Ryukyu Sanshan Kingdom, then Xiao Han's plan can be regarded as officially begins, and it must be calculated that the other party must be deeply aware of what despair is.

At that time, I don't know what the expressions of this group of inhuman-looking widows who were tossed by Xiao Han will last see the ironclad fleet led by Xiao Han.

"That's your idea, right?"

"Give me a play like this."

Zhu Biao glanced at Xiao Han and said lightly.

"Huh?"

"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this?"

Xiao Han smiled.

"Fuck off."

"Tell me, why are you so sure that the three kingdoms on that island will definitely take refuge in my Daming, after all, our Daming's tribute conditions are not very affinity."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"Huh."

"Them?"

"Do you have the right to choose?"

"If you talk about Yueguo, Lancang, and Fusang, these places are still as wide as a province, with millions of people, and they are barely qualified to make two moves with our Daming."

"Those three kingdoms together, the land is no more than one county, the people are no more than three towns, and they are still scattered island countries, what qualifications do they have to refuse our Daming."

"Give them the opportunity to pay tribute, because it is a little far away, and it is not convenient to rule directly at present, but it is not that we have no way to take them."

"To deal with them, you don't have to wait for the official interview of the ironclad fleet in the Eastern Theater, just drive a few ships over and fire a few cannons, so big and small, where can they go?"

Xiao Han smiled, with indifference in his smile.

"That's true."

"I think it's worse."

Zhu Biao nodded, he has been with Xiao Han for a long time, and he likes to ask for a reason to fight anyone, ask how to fight, and forget that he can still fly the dragon and ride his face.

"In this case, tomorrow's court meeting, at this time, it will be with the golden seal awarded to the Lancang envoy."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly.

"Okay."

"Is there anything else Shan Shangshu wants to ask?"

Xiao Han turned his head to Shan Anren.

"If you go back to Your Highness, what you should know, the lower official already knows, and you can immediately go down to arrange the establishment of the blast furnace."

Shan Anren, who had been listening awkwardly for a long time, immediately said to Xiao Han.

"Hmm."

"Very good, go down, remember to act faster, our Daming's steel production will come up as soon as possible, and we will be able to make the next move as soon as possible."

Xiao Han said.

and Lin Cheng.

Qi Wangfu.

It is different from the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere of the British Mansion in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Baobao has been a big one in the past two days.

Faced with Daming's incomparably direct admission, the dumbfounded Wang Baobao directly didn't know what to do next.

The sudden increase in the price of winter clothes, the tribes have been complaining in the past two days, and they directly took the initiative to pick up their brains and take the initiative to analyze, and came to the conclusion that there could be no gunpowder.

As a result, the pressure was put on the side of Yuan Ting, hoping that Yuan Ting would come forward and let Da Ming adjust the price back.
