Chapter 312 Friends Are Here, There Is Good Wine

Wilson's cargo ship was still unloading, so he rushed to see Xiao Chen. I have to say that this foreigner is a very affectionate guy.

"Does he speak Russian?" Tie Kunlun travels all over the world, and he understands a little bit of various dialects, but he can't understand a sentence of Wilson's words.

The strangest thing was that the boss, Xiao Chen, actually understood. He chatted happily with Wilson, and burst into bursts of laughter from time to time.

So our boss is really Wenqu Xingxia?

"No." Liu Congshu's Ross language was good, but he couldn't understand it, so he looked at the boss Xiao Chen with a little more admiration.

"Is it Yingge who eats in or out?" Wen Shan asked long.

oops!

Everyone looked at Wen Shanchang with a little more admiration. It turns out that Wen Shanchang is not only proficient in medical skills, but also understands bird language?

"It's the English language." Ye Baiqing said flatly.

Woo!

What a Bai Qing, she really came from the Imperial Academy, so there are really different reactions.

"Then what is the boss talking to him about?" Tie Kunlun was so curious.

"Then how would I know!" Ye Baiqing laughed, "I don't understand."

All I know is that you kid always likes to be pretentious!

"Ask Linger, she will tell you." Wen Shanchang pointed to Duan Linger.

"They seem to be talking about business." Duan Ling'er could understand the conversation between the two, but she couldn't understand many terms... I don't know what is Poli?

Poli is glass, and glass is originally a foreign language, like sofa, engine, and humor, which are directly transliterated words.

There is glass in the world now, but it has not been widely used.

Xiao Chen knew that the production technology of glass came from the West, and it seemed that it was first made by the ancient Egyptians, but he didn't know what the current level of glass technology is?

If the technology is already quite mature, then he can just introduce it directly, which will save him trouble and effort.

But no.

Although Wilson knew that he had seen such things as glass, the current manufacturing technology was still quite backward, and it was impossible to make bottles and jars like porcelain, and no one used it to make windows.

Xiao Chen, do you think this kind of glass can be used as windows? Still canning... what is canning?

"Dear Wilson, when I make cans, I will definitely invite you to taste them. Let's not talk about this. When you come over next time, can you bring me some seeds? Such as peppers, peppers, pumpkins, potatoes, Peanuts, sweet potatoes, sunflowers... In short, whatever you can collect, bring them all!"

At present, there are no these vegetables in Dazhou, and Xiao Chen will be the first in the world again.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Wilson promised, "But I have a personal question. You said you've never been abroad, so how do you know about these vegetables?"

"There is an old saying in China, that is, a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out!" Xiao Chen said nonsense.

"I would like to extend my highest respect to you amazing Chinese people." Wilson said.

He should pay tribute to the Chinese people.

Because Xiao Chen used the silk and porcelain from Jiangnan County to settle the accounts with him, and the silk and porcelain from Huaxia were the most popular high-end luxury goods of their Western nobles.

It is said that a piece of high-quality silk can be sold for an astonishing price of fifty gold coins in the West! A piece of fine china can also be sold for a gold coin.

In fact, the price was not so high in the first place, but because Dazhou now banned overseas trade, these silk porcelains could not be shipped out at all, which made things rare and expensive.

Not only did Xiao Chen settle the payment with him with these precious items, but he also promised to fill up his boat and ask him to help sell it to the West. No matter how much money he made, he would share it with him equally!

He didn't even have to do the math to know how much money the sale would make, which, let's say, was definitely a bit more profitable than his shipment of rubber.

How high is it? There are always dozens of times.

Xiao Chen is so generous, but he is worried for Xiao Chen, such a ship of valuable cargo, you will leave it all to me?

What if I get greedy and sell all these goods and never come back?

Because the value of this ship is an astronomical figure, and I am a businessman...

Xiao Chen said that I don't care who you are, I only consider you Wilson as my friend!

One sentence moved Wilson to tears.

Friends came with good wine.

But there are not many people who can drink with him, mainly because they can't understand his bird language, and Duan Linger who can understand his bird language doesn't drink.

So the big guy can only point fingers at him, talking to the duck, and it is very difficult to communicate.

Then what are you talking about? Say nothing.

It's all in the wine.

No matter how heavy Wilson's drinking capacity was, he couldn't stand the bombardment of the crowd. In less than a stick of incense, he went straight under the table...

Xiao Chen really had too many things to do.

But fortunately, he has two most powerful helpers.

The first one is Zhuge Xiaosheng, Xiao Chen has 200% trust in him, and now basically all the military power in Yanyun County has been handed over to him.

After coming out of Niutoushan, Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian parted ways with Xiao Chen.

They have to walk around Yanyun County. Although they have a map in their hands, they can only formulate a relatively complete defense after field surveys.

At the same time, he also needs to recruit a large number of soldiers. According to his vision, there must be at least 100,000 soldiers.

This idea greatly contradicts Chen Jisheng's opinion.

Chen Jisheng feels that what Yanyun County needs most now is to recuperate, not to go to war!

How many people are there in Yanyun County? Do you want to recruit 100,000 soldiers?

You have recruited all the strong men, who will grow food and develop production in the future?

Also, raising soldiers is extremely costly. How much money does one hundred thousand soldiers cost a year? At least dozens of times higher than the current tax revenue of Yanyun County!

Aren't you joking about making such a big deficit!

But Zhuge Xiaosheng insisted on his own opinion, one hundred thousand soldiers is already the most basic organizational system, and it is necessary to start recruiting troops now, because training takes time.

Only by creating a strong army can we guarantee the stability of our Yanyun County.

Otherwise, old man, no matter how well your economy and people's livelihood develop, isn't it useless?

Under the current situation, only by strengthening the army first can the country be strong!

Without a strong army of our own, it is not a long-term solution to just rely on various means of diplomatic mediation to maintain peace.

Just because of this matter, Chen Jisheng and Zhuge Xiaosheng exchanged letters with each other, arguing fiercely.

In the end, Xiao Chen had to make a decision.

Xiao Chen resolutely supported Zhuge Xiaosheng, but he also reassured Mr. Chen Jisheng that he could guarantee the military expenditure of these 100,000 people without using a penny from the local income of Yanyun County, and would never forcefully expropriate a grain of food in the future.

He'll figure it out on his own.

Chen Jisheng stopped insisting, but he was also very unhappy.

Hmph, you guys are hardened now, you can't listen to a word of this old man!

It seems that I should retire and return home.

Of course, with that being said, he was reluctant to leave.

Because now Yanyun County is his hometown, Xiao Chen and Zhuge Xiaosheng are his relatives.
