Chapter 201 Growth
Destroyed three outlooks.

Chen Mu couldn't figure out what Yang Yinglong was doing here, but when he said that he was going to Fujian to marry Liu Xian, the commander of Langshan, Chen Mu finally understood that the little plague god came to his own three-acre land It's just the fact that he just dropped by, drank two cups and stayed for a few days, which made him feel relieved.

Immediately after Yang Yinglong said to send a twenty-foot-long fir tree to Nanyangwei, Chen Mu was a little confused.

How long is twenty feet? 66 meters, this is a good material for the keel of a giant ship, and it is also a one-piece keel.

The keels of the gunships manufactured by Xiangshan Shipyard are not integrated, but are all spliced ​​with mortise and tenon joints of bow, hull and stern.If the keel is made of twenty-foot-long purple shirt, the cost of the boat will go up.

A good purple shirt coffin for a prince would cost four to fifty taels, not to mention how precious a twenty-foot good material would be.

When Yang Yinglong said that he had a 20-year-old sister who was waiting to marry, Chen Mu became even more confused.

I treat you as a guest to buy you a drink, but you actually want to be my brother-in-law!

Although looking at Yang Yinglong's appearance, his sister must be very beautiful...it doesn't matter!
The key lies in the son-in-law of the Yang family in Banzhou. Is it so easy to be?Especially when there is a brother-in-law named Yang Yinglong.

"Hey, general, don't be embarrassed, it's just a piece of wood. Most of the pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River are good materials from my Bozhou Yang family. I also make tea and rice. Every year, there are hundreds of ships that enter the river from Chishui, and travel between Wuchang and Nanjing. What are we planning?" Yang Yinglong clapped his hands proudly, "Wood will rot even if it is left unattended. Tea and rice will grow by themselves. The husbands of Qiji cut more than [-] pairs of fir boards every year, and half of them are bought by officials. , and half of it was sent to Suzhou and other places for sale.”

People, I'm afraid of comparison.

You said that Mr. Chen has fought bloody battles for several years, and every battle he will ascend and fall first, and the acropolis will be overthrown. The utensils are not gold and silver, but hundreds of boats are transported back and forth on the Yangtze River.

This is not over yet, people do business by selling half and giving half away.

Chen Mu picked up the blue and white wine glass and drank it, took a deep breath, he still knew too little about this era - he always thought that Yang Yinglong's family was dedicated to rebellion.

"My sister is definitely worthy of being a general. Although the commander's house looks a little dilapidated, it may be wronged, but the general don't have to worry. If you want to get married, my Yang's dowry will never be less. I will guard the city of Guangzhou, from Bozhou to Guangzhou. The waterway is also convenient, and it won't take long for the whole look to be completely new, men of my generation are not good at things outside the body, making meritorious deeds is the first priority!"

Maybe it was because of the excitement, Yang Yinglong picked up the disgusting wine glass again, toasted Deng Zilong who was sitting opposite him, and said: "Deng Qianhu is superb in martial arts, and the banner army is also good at training. In the future, when major events happen, he can be a hero who can be the commander-in-chief." !"

Deng Zilong laughed loudly, took a gulp from his wine glass, and said, "You don't hate me even if you beat me up?"

"Hate, you will definitely not be able to beat me in two years!"

Chen Mu felt that Yang Yinglong was very discerning, and that Deng Zilong was the governor of Shangzhu Kingdom in another historical time and space without his own.

In fact, Yang Yinglong and Deng Zilong drank together, and there was an atmosphere of sympathy that made Chen Mu feel that time and space were confused. Twenty or thirty years later, the middle-aged heroic general has become a veteran, and his ambition died in Luliang. Chief Chen Lin returned from the North Korean squadron, and then participated in the battle to put down Yang Yinglong, besieging Hailong Tun, which Yang Yinglong carefully built.

When he has time, he should introduce Chen Lin to Yang Yinglong.

"Ying Long, let me consider the matter of marriage. It's a big deal and no hasty decision is allowed."

"It doesn't matter, I just mentioned it by the way, anyway, it's all out, but if General Chen is interested, he can decide within half a year." Yang Yinglong smiled, waved his hands and said: "The Yang family has many sons and daughters, and they will not wait for anyone, maybe next year." Just give Banzhou a few surnames."

"The wine is not good, stop drinking it, let them drink it." Yang Yinglong pushed the wine glass, and followed Miao Bing to put away the gold cup and silver plate, saying: "Just now I saw General Chen's cannon, which seems to be different from other cannons. , and the warship where the general defeated the pirates, can you show me?"

Now Yang Yinglong in Chen Mu's eyes is not only a little plague god, but also a rich man. His request made Chen Mu smell the smell of silver, and waved his hand: "The Nanyang Guards are all made by the Nanyang Military Bureau. The workmanship is excellent. Let's go outside and see."

"Pull the two-pound, five-pound cannon, and bring out the bird cannon!"

Chen Mu noticed that Yang Yinglong's Miao soldiers didn't have a blunderbuss. Their long-range weapons were long spears and two-person crossbows.

In the school yard outside the Wei Yamen, craftsmen lead horses to mount two cannons of different calibers, and carry out a few finely crafted long bird guns from the Military Weapons Bureau.The blunderbuss is still made of a matchlock, it is still five feet long, and it is also a three-coin projectile.

To use fashionable words, this is the foreign trade version of the Nanyang Guard Bird Gun. No matter the structure or performance, there is no new design at all, except that the material is sufficiently forged and the chamber will not explode.And for this alone, even the new-style gunner guns from the Guangzhou Military Weapons Bureau can't compare.

"General Chen, can your craftsmen dress like this, can they work well?" Yang Yinglong pouted, as if he couldn't get used to the neatly dressed craftsmen of the Armament Bureau, and didn't avoid suspicion at all, facing Chen Mu in front of the craftsmen, he said: " In fact, they can be made to wear straw sandals. The craftsmen in Bozhou do the same thing. The craftsmen in Sichuan and Guizhou are not as hardworking as the craftsmen in Bozhou.”

Chen Mu frowned, unable to figure it out, "Does wearing straw sandals have a special effect on craftsmen working hard?"

Yang Yinglong nodded seriously, and said, "In Bozhou, any worker who doesn't wear out three pairs of straw sandals a day is simply not working hard enough. The craftsman who doesn't work hard will kill him and throw him into the ditch."

"If you don't want to die, you will work hard." Yang Yinglong smiled lightly, raised his face and said to Chen Mu: "General, you can try, your craftsmen will make things better and faster."

It's not the first time Chen Mu felt that people's lives were ignored. He had seen so many that he didn't even want to argue. He asked, "If you kill everyone, who will work for you?"

"Bozhou has hundreds of thousands of people. People are the same as trees, rice, and tea. They will grow on their own, and they can't be killed. Besides, no one spends all day being stabbed with their heads. Knowing that they are afraid, they will work hard to save The straw sandals are worn out."

Yang Yinglong was still stating the facts without the slightest exaggeration, saying: "Governing the people is like governing the army. The general needs the banner troops to fight. When they run away during the battle, you will kill them. Because the general needs them to fight, you only need to kill some deserted troops. , the remaining people won't disobey and run away after becoming powerful, isn't that the reason?"

Little Plague God's simple and rude management theory choked Chen Mu. He had indeed killed deserters more than once.

"My craftsmen may be happier. If you send the craftsmen from Bozhou to Nanyangwei, they won't want to go back; if I send the craftsmen from Nanyangwei to Bozhou, they will definitely escape." Chen Mu turned his head and saw the craftsmen from the Weapons Bureau Looking at him with gratitude, he clasped his fists at Yang Yinglong, "It's so easy for Chen to gain the loyalty of the craftsman, thank you."

With an order, the five-jin cannon rang.

　I'm sorry, because I didn't check the information carefully before, and I made an error in the description of the population of Banzhou. Thank you readers for correcting me, it has been corrected.
