Wood or something.
Cao Wei didn't understand this very much, so he called a captain on the dock and asked, "By the way to the south, you are full of mountains, and the mountains are full of trees. I see that the ship carrying wood is the banner of the Pan family's Laowu."
Those who dare to call this must be people of the same level.
The four major martial arts families in Bianliang, Li Jilong, the second son of the Shi family, the fourth son of the Cao family, and the fifth son of the Pan family. These are the most important people in the family and the most important person.
Before the captain answered, Liu An said, "This is teak from the Indochina Peninsula, a very strong and good wood, and its proportion to water is only 0.45, which is the same volume, one pound of water, and this wood is only 7 taels. Another advantage of this wood is insect prevention and corrosion protection for sea ships. By the way, this wood is very expensive and is not much cheaper than sandalwood."
After Liu An explained this, the captain next to him smiled and said nothing.
He has explained so professionally that he doesn't need to talk about anything else.
Teak was an extremely luxurious product in World War II. It was only used for first-class battleships, and ordinary battleships were iron decks.
Moreover, teak in a broad sense is available in Africa and South America, and it can be used on board. It is only available in the Gulf of Siam to Dali, and the rest of the places cannot be compared.
Liu An said to Cao Wei again: "You will definitely ask, since it has been transported so far, why not build ships locally. It is because our Song Dynasty ships, especially warships, use a total of sixteen kinds of wood in different locations. In some unimportant places, furniture and tool holders, you can just use some cheap wood, but the hull is very particular. This craft cannot be learned."
"Yes, this Shangguan is right. But this sentence cannot be said anymore. There are military rules for the military port..."
"This is your immediate boss." As soon as Cao Wei spoke, Liu An and the captain were preparing to show their identity as Cao Wei, but who would have thought that Cao Wei would say the next sentence: "Come someone to arrest him quickly, and then you can punish him as much as you can. If you dare to talk nonsense, you must punish him severely."
Liu An smiled and shook his head, ignored Cao Wei, and walked alone to the other side of the dock.
Another area is the dock area, which has another battalion management.
As soon as Liu An showed off his sign, he walked in without stopping. At this moment, Tietou and Cao Wei's followers were still under inspection at the dock. They had to compare every member of the escort, for fear of intruding into spies, especially in the Qu Yue people who looked similar to the Song people.
Cao Wei took a few steps quickly, took out the sign and lit it and followed it into the dock.
Cao Wei is here to buy a boat, so he must be concerned about which boat is the best.
The general of the Mingzhou Military Port surnamed Kang, and Liu An came suddenly, and he did not inform him. The person in charge of the Mingzhou dock was from the Pan family. To be precise, he was a son-in-law of the Pan family. To be precise, he was a member of the Pan family.
The surname is Zhang, who was originally a judge at Dali Temple, and he was transferred by the Cao family.
Although he is timid and afraid of things and is a little timid, he is proficient in math and has a very good attitude towards managing people. He is a little uncomfortable with changing from a military position to a civil position, so he is better transferred here to manage the dock.
Everyone on and off the dock belongs to the Song army, and even the craftsmen are.
Cao Wei arrived. He and Zhang Zhaoyun were very familiar with each other. First, both of them were guarding the edge, and second, they were carrying the burden.
"Have you prepared wine? I'm not sending someone to deliver the letter, I'm coming, I've brought gold."
Zhang Zhaoyun looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Drinking is strictly prohibited in the army. There are only 36 bottles of registered medical wine in the Mingzhou military port, which are divided into various clinics. Speaking of General Cao Si, although we are relatives, you can't make things difficult for me. The dock has been working for ten hours a day, and three craftsmen are working. There is no ship."
In a word, Zhang Zhaoyun didn't want Cao Wei to go to the lineup, and the boat ordered by others was also urging him to ask for it.
After striking his own burden, Zhang Zhaoyun turned around Liu An, and the coldness on his face disappeared into warmth: "Geor An is here, I have already ordered someone to book a banquet at Mingyue Tower on Erxianzi Island, and I will never return without getting drunk tonight."
Cao Wei felt bad all over, why?
"I said to Zhaoyun, we have known each other for many years and have been relatives for many years. Your attitude is really unfriendly."
Zhang Zhaoyun returned to her cold face: "If you double the shipping fee for me, I will prepare wine for you."
"You dream, it will be broad daylight." Cao Wei was furious when he heard that he wanted to increase the money.
"If you don't add it, you can change the boat. We are brothers. If you don't go to war, why do you have to buy a big boat? Quanzhou Navy bought two medium-sized boats and will make a return in three months. How long will it take for you to buy a big boat to make a return."
"Return to your money, what did they do?"
Zhang Zhaoyun glanced at Liu An, and Liu An just smiled.
Zhang Zhaoyun then said: "The Quanzhou Navy arrived in Northern Luzon and fought with a fleet of some claws twice, rescuing thousands of local slaves, and then transporting back a large number of coconuts and charred mahjong from there every day. What can you do? Take two large ships to fish?"
In Zhang Zhaoyun's eyes, it was correct.
There is definitely no war in the place where Cao Wei is. Even if there is, it will not be an enemy from the water, but the Liao army heading south from the north.
What do you want a gunboat? Is it for escaping?
Therefore, buying gunboats is ridiculous, it is simply a waste of money.
Zhang Zhaoyun is right.
Is Cao Wei wrong?
Cao Wei is right. What Cao Wei thinks is that the government is determined to reduce military expenditures by the court. Therefore, at present, each major defense zone has its own system and has a way to make money by itself.
The way to make money in the defense zone where Cao Wei belongs is not to sell arms, but to the military to ensure the business of the Song Dynasty merchants in Changbai Mountain.
Only with strong combat effectiveness can long-term and stable protection benefits be guaranteed.
The gunboat is now the first weapon in the eyes of various defense zones of the Song Dynasty. It is invincible in water battles, and the cannons are also amazingly powerful when pulled into land battles. The gunboats are the best medicine to make Wuqing Port feel at ease.
Buy, be sure to buy.
Zhang Zhaoyun didn't want to pay attention to Cao Wei, so he arranged for the work on the dock in the past two days and arranged for the boat to take Liu An to have a meal.
Mingyue Tower.
Liu An’s industry.
No, it should be an industry under the name of Liu An’s concubine Li Qinglian.
Liu An didn’t know what the island is called, but he only knew that it was located between Mingzhou and Zhoushan Islands, and there were people on many large and small islands.
Larger islands live in people, smaller islands become commercial or other functional areas. There is a prosperous place with a population of nearly 100,000.
Mingyue Tower is on a relatively small island, which is a high-end area for special industries.
It has a large number of teahouses, theaters and restaurants.
Brothels are on another island. Now the Song Dynasty has distinguished brothels. Listening to stories, crosstalk, etc. are all in teahouses. Watching operas in theaters, drinking in restaurants, and playing music and singing in restaurants are inside the fences. Guests are not allowed to cross the fences. These are high-end categories.
