Chapter 543: Educating Foreigners, Han Anniang Gave Birth

"boom"

Nangong Jin slapped the table and shouted: "Look at what you did."

Zhang Feng lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that the main reason for the heavy casualties was himself. If he was not curious, this would not have happened.

Nangong Jin never thought about punishing Zhang Feng. After scolding him for a few words, he immediately said, "How was the harvest this time?"

Zhang Feng glanced at his sister, and then said solemnly: "We have far underestimated our expectations."

"Huh?" Nangong Jin frowned.

Zhang Feng slowly began to tell.

It turned out that the Nangong family went overseas many times and made a lot of money every time. This naturally aroused the covetousness of overseas countries, so several overseas countries took the opportunity to increase tariffs and so-called tolls.

For this reason, Zhang Feng paid a high fee.

"Damn it, forget about Ski, Yinqiu and other countries. Even a small country like Boliu dared to collect tolls from me. If I hadn't stumbled on Xunxian Island in Guluo, I would have had to lead my troops. Destroy them." Zhang Feng felt angry when he thought about this.

Although overseas countries such as Ski and Yinqiu are not big countries, they are not something Zhang Feng can provoke casually.

But the Boliu Kingdom is estimated to be smaller than Sichuan and Haihai, and its population does not exceed one million. In Zhang Feng's eyes, it is just an uncivilized barbarian country. If he were not thinking about the country's gems and medicinal materials, Zhang Feng would not Don't play with it.

But now, even it dares to be jealous.

It's like the little brother I usually look down on now dares to fight with me.

With that said, Zhang Feng said: "Brother-in-law, in my opinion, next time we go to sea, we can directly lead the troops to destroy the wave of Liu Kingdom. If not all the gems and medicinal materials on it are ours, why trade with them?

If you don't give it a little color, it will dare to ask for more next time. "

"How confident are you?" Nangong Jin asked.

Zhang Feng: "???"

"Why, haven't you always wanted to destroy the Boliu Kingdom, and you are mute this time?" Nangong Jin glared at Zhang Feng.

"no."

Zhang Feng was a little confused. He did propose to destroy the Boliu Kingdom more than once, but Nangong Jin said every time that peace is the most important thing when sailing overseas. We go to sea to seek money, and fighting and killing cannot solve the problem. He refused, but this time, he asked how confident he was. The style of painting was not quite right.

"Brother-in-law, did something big happen in the country while I was away?" Zhang Feng asked.

Nangong Jin sighed and said immediately: "Chen Mo has occupied the entire north."

With that said, Nangong Jin told Zhang Feng what happened in the country during this period.

Zhang Feng's eyes widened and he exclaimed in his heart that Chen Mo was too violent.

"Not brother-in-law, what does this have to do with our attack on Boliu Kingdom?" Zhang Feng said.

"He is going to hold an imperial examination in the four states. At that time, all the scholars in the world will participate. And he just wants to select officials through the imperial examination to govern the north for him. Sichuan and sea will not be spared at that time. At that time, our Nangong The good days of our family are over.”

How could Nangong Jin not see Chen Mo's ambition? At that time, how could he allow the Nangong family to raise so many soldiers?

The Nangong family can no longer recruit new soldiers.

What if Chen Mo wants to take away the soldiers and horses of the Nangong family like he did in Qingzhou? What will the Nangong family do then?

This must be guarded against.

Therefore, it is necessary to open overseas in advance.

"Boliu country lacks iron weapons, and there is not even a decent piece of armor in the country. If my brother-in-law gives me five thousand armored soldiers, I will be 100% sure." Zhang Feng thought for a while and said.

"Five thousand armored soldiers? The Nangong family doesn't have five thousand pieces of armor in total. Where can I get you five thousand armored soldiers? There are only one thousand." Nangong Jin glanced sideways at Zhang Feng and said.

Iron armor, even in today's chaotic world, is still a rare item.

Even through overseas trade, iron armor cannot be purchased.

Therefore, if you want to obtain iron armor, you can only build it yourself, but the Nangong family has only been free for a long time. They cannot make five thousand sets of iron armor in such a short period of time.

"One thousand." The cover of the chapter showed a look of embarrassment, and then stretched out three fingers: "That's only 30%."

"I will give you another seven thousand ordinary soldiers." Nangong Jin said.

"I promise to destroy Po Liu." Zhang Feng said, patting his chest.

"It's not about annihilation. We are trying to educate foreigners. We, the Song Dynasty, are a country of etiquette. How can we bully others?" Nangong Jin was a scholar.

"I understand, I understand." Zhang Feng nodded quickly, then looked at the fairy fruit on the table and said, "What should I do with this fruit?"

Nangong Jin thought for a moment, then pulled off a piece of fingernail-sized whisker from the fruit and said, "Here comes someone."

Soon, a maid came in.

"Eat it." Nangong Jin handed the torn off whiskers to the maid.

The maid didn't say anything and took it directly into her mouth.

After all, in such a big family, servants would not dare to disobey their master, and their death would be in vain if they were beaten to death.

"What does it feel like?" Nangong Jin asked.

The maid chewed it and said, "It's a little bitter, but also a little sour and sweet."

Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows and waited for the maid to finish eating. After another quarter of an hour, he asked her again how she felt and whether she had any discomfort.

The maid said her body felt warm and she felt no discomfort.

After another quarter of an hour, Nangong Jin asked again.

The maid said she felt nothing this time.

Nangong Jin asked the maid to step back, and after thinking for a while, she called for a ninth-grade guard, who also tore off the beard of a piece of fairy fruit and ordered him to eat it.

Compared to the maids who are ordinary people, the guards who are warriors have a more acute sense.

"Master, I feel that my cultivation has improved a lot." The guard said.

Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng looked at each other, and then both of them blushed, and said excitedly in their hearts: "Could it be the fairy fruit?"

However, even if two people tried it, Nangong Jin, out of caution, did not eat it, but planned to wait a few days to see if the maids and guards who ate the fairy fruit were okay.

...

Chen Mo didn't know what happened in Chuanhai. Since the last time the Nangong family's navy was detained in Qingzhou, the Nangong family seemed to have a little temper and rarely contacted Chen Mo.

At this moment, he was anxiously waiting outside Han Anniang's room.

On the last day of February, Han Anniang gave birth.

In the room, several midwives who helped Xia Zhiqing and Wu Mi deliver babies, as well as maids, were busy around the bed, and they all looked nervous.

Because an hour had passed, and the child was still reluctant to come out of Han Anniang's belly.

The midwife shouted anxiously: "Second Madam, push hard, it's coming out soon."

Han Anniang groaned, her face was covered with sweat, her face was pale from the cold, her mouth was slightly open, and she was in great pain.

After another half an hour, accompanied by the baby's cry of "ah ah", Han Anniang felt relieved and fainted.
