Before Zhou Yu could attack Liu Bei, Gan Ning first returned from Dongying loaded with copper ore and many rare treasures.

Looking at the mountains of copper ore, gold and silver, as well as tens of thousands of pearls and gemstones, Yuan Shu instantly smiled, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about money next.

If he had learned some knowledge of economics and finance during his lifetime, Yuan Shu might not have relied on these copper coins and gold and silver as he does now. After all, as long as the money bank is done well, spending money is nothing more than printing some paper and changing the left hand for the right hand.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu didn't understand this, and he didn't dare to risk it with his already fragile bank, so he had to go to Dongying to find these copper mines, gold and silver.

Although the purchasing power of gold and silver in this era was good, copper coins were hard currency. With this copper, and some machines that Yuan Shu had already asked his craftsmen to build using water to make five-baht coins, Yuan Shu can now finally worry about money for a few years.

As for the price rise that may be caused by so much money, it is not in Yuan Shu's consideration. Anyway, in the end, it was mainly the merchants and families who paid for it, and Yuan Shu and the people couldn't afford to lose.

Then Gan Ning began to tell Yuan Shu about his exciting two months.

......

"Boss, we're here!"

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Gan Ning reflexively replied: "How many times have you said it!" Call me General! ”

Then he suddenly came back to his senses, pulled the collar of his subordinates and said, "What? It's here! ”

The subordinate took out the chart and compass and nodded solemnly.

Gan Ning snatched the sea chart, and then glanced at the land in the distance: "Haha! After half a month of busy work, it's finally here! ”

In the past half a month, Gan Ning has finally appreciated the gap between the sea and the Yangtze River. Compared to the calm Yangtze River, the sea is really too dangerous.

Terrifying storms and huge tsunamis can occur at any time. Occasionally, heavy fog and some strong currents can be encountered.

There have been at least ten dangers along the way, and if it weren't for the fast speed of the ships under Gan Ning's command, I don't know how many times they would have been submerged by the tsunami!

After a bumpy journey, he finally came to his destination Dongying, and Gan Ning was really in tears! But I also feel very excited in my heart, the sea is the destination of men!

The subordinate said excitedly: "Boss, this time I can finally rest and rest." The past half a month has been really terrifying, even when they were chased and killed by Cai Mao and them, it was not so scary! ”

As soon as Gan Ning heard the name of Cai Mao's goods, he frowned, slapped the goods, and beat him up: "What nonsense!" Back then, Lao Tzu was a strategic retreat, but Cai Mao's goods were defeated by Lao Tzu's men! ”

The subordinates pursed their lips slightly, and secretly said in their hearts: I really don't have a long memory, which pot can't be opened.

"Yes, yes, boss, you are wise and martial, how can Cai Mao be your opponent."

Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction, looked at the bigger and bigger black shadow in the distance, and grinned: "It seems that the lord will definitely have to give Lao Gan me a promotion this time!" ”

"If you come out and go shopping, you can be promoted and make a fortune, no wonder Jiang Gongyi is unwilling to stay in the Yangtze River."

The subordinate also smiled and said, "Boss, you eat meat, it seems that we can also drink soup with you." This time, I made money and went back to marry a mother-in-law. ”

Gan Ning glanced at his subordinate, who had been with him for six years and had not yet found a wife, and scolded with a smile: "It's useless!" Follow Lao Tzu and work hard, how can you marry a mother-in-law in the future? ”

"I heard from the lord that there are quite a few Japanese people on this island. Most of them are women, and they have good looks and good personalities, except for being short, they are perfect for being mothers-in-law. ”

"This time, in addition to asking me to get some copper, gold, and silver, the lord also asked me to take away some good-looking Japanese women to be my mother-in-law for the people of Jiangdong. If you think it's a good fit, you can pick one yourself. ”

The subordinate smiled: "This is what you said the boss!" I'm going to choose one first, and find someone who looks pretty much good at housekeeping. But I'm afraid it's not good to be too short. ”

Gan Ning said disdainfully: "You kid himself is not tall, and you still want to find a tall one?" ”

The subordinate was speechless and said: "It's because I'm not tall that I want to find a taller one!" Otherwise, if I give birth to someone who is about the same height as me in the future, I am afraid that you will have to be dragged by the boss to dry the water army. ”

Gan Ning looked at this fool and scolded with a smile: "Get out!" Others want to be Lao Gan's personal soldier, but I don't want Lao Gan! You're a good kid, but you still hate Lao Tzu! What's wrong with being short? It doesn't delay anything, and it's just right for the dry water army. Your son, the future son, will have to follow me to fight the water army. ”

"Okay, okay, boss, you have the final say. Let's find me a mother-in-law first! ”

......

When they came to the shore, some Japanese people found Ganning's warship. Having never seen such a huge warship, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to inform his country, or should he call it the head of the tribe.

Japan of this era was still in a very primitive period, with no writing and no history, divided into more than a hundred small tribes that fought each other, and these tribes also called themselves vassal states.

After Gan Ning went ashore, he saw hundreds of savages holding bamboo spears standing tremblingly in front of him, speaking inexplicable language.

Although Gan Ning didn't understand, he saw that the other party was holding a bamboo spear in his hand, and knew that these goods should be guarding against himself. Thinking of what Yuan Shu told himself before leaving: You must be ruthless to these widows, they are like wolves, they are the most loyal minions when you are strong, and they will pounce on you mercilessly and bite you when you are weak.

Yuan Shu's words are naturally right, so Gan Ning doesn't have much affection for these widows. Seeing that the other party wanted to resist, Gan Ning went over with a knife without saying a word, and split a deep ravine in front of these widows.

When these people saw this terrible scene, their faces were frightened and fanatical, and they threw away their bamboo spears and knelt on the ground, their hands raised high, and muttered some kind of prayer in their mouths.

Although Gan Ning didn't quite understand what they were talking about, he knew that these people seemed to be worshipping him, so he put down the big knife in his hand. They took 20,000 sailors and these Japanese people to their tribes, leaving 10,000 sailors to guard the warships.

After following this group of Japanese people to their tribe, Gan Ning finally found a Chinese speaking Japanese people, that is, the leader of this tribe, and solved the problem of language barrier.

After some exchanges, Gan Ning learned that this product was the descendant of the boy and girl taken away by Xu Fu Dongdu Fusang in history, and he also named himself, Meichuan Neiku.

Later, Gan Ning figured out that this ancestor did not learn Chinese well, and only knew names and characters. Later, it was mixed up when it was passed on, which is why this strange name appeared. He should actually be surnamed Mei, Mingchuan, and cool in the word. As a result, now the surname is Meichuan, and the name is cool.
