God is also deliberately playing tricks on Hong Tao, who let him violate the way of heaven and wear it around in the world is immortal, just make it more difficult.

Gao Yu can be transformed and become a useful talent for the country, so let's try Tong Guan to see if he can be transformed, and if he can't keep it, another chemist will come out and directly mash out the radioactive elements. Don't call it an atomic bomb in the future, just call it a boy!

At this time, Hong Tao really didn't know that the famous Tong Guan had been in Huangzhou City for several months, and he was busy teaching Lian'er new moves.

If you want to talk about women, they do have special functions. Every time Hong Tao went to find Fu Ji, he traveled secretly, never said where he was going, and Wang Da and the others would not chew their tongues behind their backs. But Lian'er still felt that something was wrong with her husband, and the little strange words immediately increased.

In order to stop her mouth, Hong Tao had to work harder, as long as Lian'er could be pregnant, she would have no time to pay attention to this kind of problem. And you have to take the initiative to help yourself find a replacement to stuff into the bed, which is called women's way.

Fortunately, Mawei City has a long-distance warning system, and as soon as Crown's convoy passed the Ancient Bone Dragon City, the lookout posts on the top of the mountain sent the news back one after another.

Hearing that the crown's convoy was coming, Lian'er suddenly stopped studying her new homework, and hurriedly got up and waited for her husband to freshen up first, and then showed her flowers and branches inside and out. Only then did he accompany Hong Tao, holding a big shelf, and walking towards the city gate with as graceful steps as possible.

In Lian'er's own words, she can't be too casual in front of her subordinates, and she can't control the horses, but Mrs. Lian must look like Mrs. Lian, and she can't let outsiders laugh at her for being a maid no matter how she pretends to be.

For Lian'er's mentality, Hong Tao neither opposes nor supports, to put it bluntly, he is too lazy to care, he can do whatever he likes, anyway, as long as he doesn't interfere in military and political affairs, it doesn't matter if he wears the edict dress all day long.

Anyway, there is no entertainment here in Mawei City, so it is indeed a little boring for her to be a young girl in the barracks all day long, and she is a good daughter-in-law if she can find something to do without pestering herself!

"Damn, did you just come back from France?" Before the crown's convoy approached the city gate, Hong Tao noticed that something was wrong. Something is wrong, take a look at the binoculars, it turns out that the armor has changed.

There were five people and five horses in front of the convoy, and one of them, a general, a black helmet and black armor and a black horse, looked like it, I really couldn't see it. It's not that the telescope is not clear enough, but the other party's helmet has a mask, and it is not the traditional armor of the Northern Song Dynasty, but a black European full-body plate armor.

The four people beside him were also similar armor, the difference was that the color was different, shining in the sun, and I don't know how much oil was rubbed.

"My lord, I want to mess with my little brother, congratulations to my lord for killing the enemy again, and the high judge wishes my lord a victory, this is all the box cars that can travel in Weiqiao Town, all of them have been pulled over. The adults asked for all the things, but the roads were muddy on the way, and they accidentally lost two of them and four giant crossbows...... Little brother, this armor can be mighty? If an adult is interested in it...... I can't look down on adults even if I want to, hehehehe......"

The crown pretended to be incomplete, and when he was still a few dozen meters away from the city gate, he hurriedly dismounted, trotted all the way over to salute, and then there was a narration of no one next to anyone, with no focus and no core.

"I said, Lord Wang, you have finished everything in one go, are you in a hurry to return to Weiqiao Town?" Hong Tao was very dissatisfied with the performance of the crown, his armor was obviously a sketch he drew in Weiqiao Town, plagiarism!

At that time, because the joint parts could not be handled, so simply removed the forearms, calves and feet, and replaced them with chain mail and leather armor.

But, you are an officer engaged in logistics and transportation, and you are all on your own territory along the way, and no bandits dare to fight hundreds of box trucks, is it necessary to wear such a high-profile outfit?

Once it is discovered by someone with a heart, there is one more crime in the court. I'm not afraid of those impeachments, but I'm not to the point where I have nothing to do. What's even more heartwarming is that he worked hard, and he almost hung up to eat the thousands of people named Ah Wu. It's just that due to the late reporting, the court's commendation has not moved.

But as a subordinate, congratulations are more sincere, how can you bring it in half a sentence. As for the loss of some losses on the road, this is not a big deal. It would be a great achievement to be able to bring supplies in before the snow was fully civilized, even if the loss was even more. I was still thinking about what language to use to praise him, but now I have saved it.

"No, no, no...... Click...... Woo woo woo ...... "The crown was indeed a little overexcited, and when he shook his head vigorously, the mask on his helmet fell off, and he couldn't hear what he said later.

He does have a reason to be excited, and it's ample enough. First of all, I have been comfortable for more than a year, not physically, training all day is much harder than in Jinmingchi, it is very comfortable mentally, mainly with dignity.

Secondly, there is so much to learn. In the past, there was no difference between leading an army alone and playing a family, at most, it was bullying and bullying merchant ships in the rivers around Kaifeng, and it was too far away from the real army alone.

In the end, there is profit, but all people, as long as they are in society, they cannot do without value. The income of the crown and the water tiger wing is not greedy for ink, but legitimate income. There is a subsidy for every long trip, and the military salaries that are already higher than those of other forbidden armies are also a lot of income.

In addition, what the crown didn't expect was that he, the commander, also brought benefits to the family. When they heard that they were going to rent a sea ship to transport military rations for Huangzhou, the family not only did not object, but was very happy, and immediately agreed.

The reason is that the crown also listened to the family, and the Wang family really didn't take the matter of sextant navigation seriously, mainly because it sounded too amazing to believe it. What made the Wang family readily agree was not a sextant, but a vulgar thing that could not be more vulgar, iron!

Mind you, it's not steel but iron. The Wang family doesn't want good steel, they only hope to exchange grain for pig iron. What's the use? Copper smelting! The Northern Song Dynasty had more copper mines in the south than in the north, but more iron was produced in the north than in the south.

Due to the problem of production, many places in the south could not get enough pig iron to refine copper ore, so they could only watch the copper money flow away every day, and I was really anxious.

The name of Wujin Xing had already spread during the Jinmingchi stage, and the cast iron furnaces it produced were not only supplied to Kaifeng, but also brought to the south by merchants from the north and south.

Those who know how to do it immediately know that this kind of cast iron is of good quality and the craftsmanship is fine, and then someone has set their eyes on Ugin Xing, trying to get pig iron from it.

It's a pity that at this time, the Ugin Bank was built in the royal garden, and ordinary people really couldn't get close, so it was naturally impossible to talk about buying and selling. But when Wang Guan said that he was working in Wujin Bank in Weiqiao Town, the Wang family's brain immediately started running at high speed.

There is a lot of grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the price is also cheap. Even if it is transported to Jingzhao Mansion by sea ship, it will increase a lot of freight, as long as it can be exchanged for pig iron, it will not lose at all, and it will definitely make a lot of money when it is pulled back.

What's more, the colt didn't say how much he should give, or pay half in advance, which is almost equivalent to a transaction without capital. The Wang family bought grain with advance payment, paid for transportation by themselves, and then came back with a boatload of copper coins.

"When will the grain ship arrive?" Personally lifted the mask to help the crown up, and after listening to the suggestion of exchanging grain for pig iron, Hong Tao couldn't help but sigh that the Song people were really good at trading, with brains, means, and courage.

"After the Shangyuan Festival, Uncle Jia is preparing ships and buying food, but it is the first time to drive a sea boat into the river, there will inevitably be a lot of joints on the road that need to be dotted, without it, just a little money and things, if you want to come and go often in the future, this is also an indispensable means, Uncle Jia is good at this, and he will not let adults wait too long."

Wang Guan only knows a rough idea, in this era, except for the use of the post system, it is basically impossible to transmit messages over long distances, and the error of long-distance transportation can be controlled within a month, which is very accurate.
