Chapter 326: Yizhou and Pearl Cliff
Xu Chu and Dian Wei became more and more happy the two barbarians talked, completely forgetting what their original purpose was, of course, he didn't think how rare a tiger with internal qi was left, according to Dian Wei, that meat was particularly chewy!
Speaking of chewy meat, I have to say what Gan Ning and Tai Shici are doing now, since that day the two of them used unconventional methods to take Liu Yu out of Zhuo County, and then galloped all the way, finally not being left behind by Gongsun Zhan, set sail with the big ship, and began to go south without hesitation.
Gan Ning and Tai Shici only saved one Liu Yu, Liu Yu's wife, children and parents are more than enough but not enough, but in their opinion, as long as Liu Yu is still alive, Gongsun Chan will not be so crazy to destroy the whole family, the so-called disaster will not affect the family.
As for how Gongsun Zhan dealt with Liu Yu and his family in the end, Gan Ning and Tai Shici, who got on the boat and did not dock, didn't know at all, and they didn't have the heart to care about those little things, their goal at that time was to catch a kun as a gift to Chen Xi as a wedding gift.
It is said that after Liu Yu quoted the scriptures, the two of them have given up, the subtext of "the dream of the prince and the marquis of the big fish" is really too inauspicious, people are married, and they are still liehous, you give the whole past, this is dismantling the stage, right, do you want to be so undisciplined.
The ancients were very particular about this kind of prophecy, so although Gan Ning was very dissatisfied, he also dispelled the idea of catching a kun and giving it to Chen Xi as a gift.
After that, Liu Yu was left behind, anyway, he was used to spitting and spitting on a sea boat, and Liu Yu was lying in the cabin. Handed over to a few clever soldiers to take care of, Gan Ning and Tai Shici immediately began to think about what kind of gift to give Chen Xi.
All the way to the south, when passing through Qingzhou, Gan Ning sent someone to send Liu Yu to Beihai. handed over to Kong Rong to be sent to Mount Tai, but without the knowledge of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, Kong Rong adhered to the etiquette of the Han family for the princes, ignored Liu Yu's strong request, and directly sent Liu Yu to Chang'an......
After sending Liu Yu out, Gan Ning set sail again and led most of the troops to soar towards Yizhou at the highest speed. It was a strategic place that Chen Xi had told Gan Ning to occupy early on, not only to prepare for the capture of Yangzhou in the future, but also to prepare for trade with the natives of Jiaozhou in the future!
Now Gan Ning is going to a place to pick up gifts. Since Kun can't be a gift, then Gan Ning feels that as a layman, it's better to be cheesy.
For many people in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou is not inhabited, but Chen Xi knows very well that it is very suitable for growing grain. Even slash-and-burn farming doesn't starve people to death. Therefore, the natives there will have a grain harvest if they do not take care of a handful of seeds, and these are the basis of trade.
The lack of grain in the Central Plains does not mean that there will be a shortage of grain in the place where rice can be grown twice a year, not to mention that Chen Xi plans to trade grain without discipline and find the boss of a native tribe, a glass ball for a boatload of grain or something.
There are a lot of rare treasures in that place, and when the time comes, a scissors difference will make Qingzhou rich. After all, Jiaozhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty directly extended to what is now central Vietnam, the kind of place where you can grow three crops a year if you just plant fields. In addition to the bad taste of rice, there is definitely enough grain production.
All in all, Chen Xi told Gan Ning at the beginning to have time to take care of it, get in touch with the local leaders in Jiaozhou, and then go back and provide some things they like to those local tribal leaders in Jiaozhou, and then let them plant more grain and grass or something.
Those tribal leaders are actually earth leopards, but they are all the same lords on their own territory, and the tribal subjects under their command are as few as 30,000 or 20,000 or as many as 100,000, forming independent small kingdoms one by one.
Chen Xi's mention to Gan Ning at that time was to provide some backward tools to those tribes, so that they could get closer to civilization, and then let them use those tools to grow food, and then use those grains to exchange for luxury goods from Gan Ning, glass bottles for ivory or something, as long as the other party is willing, Chen Xi will not mind.
Because of this, Gan Ning has now built a small port in Yizhou and sent some people to be stationed there, although it is not much, but it is not a problem to rely on the food and fresh water supply of the natives of Yizhou.
After setting foot in Yizhou, Tai Shici looked at Gan Ning in shock after learning the size and location of this island, he was completely convinced, he deserved to be the commander of the navy, holding the power of life and death, establishing a supply point in this kind of place, and there is such a large territory, as long as the navy is okay, when attacking Yangzhou in the future, it will be easy to attack it.
"Brother Xingba, admire and admire." Tai Shi Ci looked at Gan Ning with admiration, this courage, this ambition, this eyesight, he was like mud compared to the other party.
"Hahaha, don't admire, hurry up and pack the grain and fresh water, and then we will go to Zhuya County!" Gan Ning said with a smile, "This is just a transit station, there were originally thousands of people on it, but I have conquered it, and now I am working hard to farm, but it is a pity, when to transport 30,000 people here, it will be able to grow 100,000 people in a year." ”
"Huh?" Tai Shici opened his mouth in shock.
"Don't be surprised, rice is very easy to grow here, and it can be grown two or three times a year." Gan Ning sighed and said, "When you get to Zhuya County, you will know that there is no shortage of food in that place, and I don't know why Emperor Yuan gave up that place back then." ”
Chen Xi didn't know what Gan Ning was asking, if he knew, he would tell Gan Ning, the emperor is not out of Kyoto, and the things of the world sometimes rely only on conjecture, but unfortunately the reality is far more crazy than the written knowledge, the grain that is ripened three times a year, even if the yield is only more than twice the normal, and the taste is not very good, but it is enough for the emperor to stabilize the people who are about to starve to death, and it is enough to stabilize his throne.
But it's a pity that there is obviously this kind of place that can be planted three times a year, and only needs slash-and-burn cultivation, but every time because it violates the emperor's imagination, it can only be regarded as nonsense in the end, and even Zhuya County was directly abandoned, and then some even Jiaozhou did not appear in the emperor's field of vision very much, mainly as a place of exile.
When it came to Soochow, no one was willing to go to the south of Jiaozhou to see it with their own eyes, each of them was a remote leader, and every one of them was immersed in the imagination of the southern wilderness, the barbarians did not know etiquette, and the miasma was full of smoke.
In short, after Gan Ning went to Zhuya County for the first time to catch up with a tribal leader and exchanged a set of celadon for dozens of large pearls, Gan Ning finally understood what Chen Xi meant when he said that those tribal leaders were no different from the emperor.
"Let's go, set sail and head at full speed towards Pearl Cliff!" Gan Ning yelled, after all, there was not much time left until Chen Xi's wedding. (To be continued......)
