Chapter 120: The Voyage
"Lord, you seem to be a little far away from our Yangzhou in this place, I'm afraid those families don't want to go so far!" Gan Ning looked at the circle drawn by Yuan Shu on the map, and said with some doubts.
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes: "Who said that I was going to assign this place to the family as a fief!" ”
Gan Ning's face was at a loss: "If you don't make a fief, what's the use of this place?" ”
Yuan Shu said angrily: "It's more useful." Yangzhou is now short of money, there are a lot of copper mines in this place, and most of them are open-pit copper mines, a little mining can get out a lot of copper, these copper refining is money. ”
"There are quite a few small countries in this place."
As soon as Yuan Shu said this, he saw Gan Ning rolling his eyes and looking at him.
"Well, there are quite a few villages in this place. They fought with each other, and the system of rule was similar to that of a small state. ”
"When you get there, beat them all up, and then get two acquaintances to support you. Then they packed up all the treasures in the treasury of these countries. ”
"By the way, remember to bring more grain and grass before you leave, and tell those rulers that they should send local people to dig copper mines, we will not take their ore for nothing, we will exchange it for grain."
As soon as Yuan Shu said this, Gan Ning understood.
It was estimated that the place was similar to the primitive society, and they couldn't afford to eat. Yuan Shu asked him to get grain in exchange for copper ore that they couldn't use.
As soon as Yuan Shu said this, Gan Ning became excited again: "Lord, how to calculate the money minted by those copper mines?" Why don't you open it? ”
"Get out!"
For Gan Ning's hob meat Yuan Shu can be regarded as understanding, he has to beat it all the time, otherwise this product will have to be turned upside down.
"Three points at most, don't think about any more."
Gan Ning pondered for a moment and muttered: "Stingy, only give three points!" ”
"What did you say?" Yuan Shu blew his beard and looked at Gan Ning with a glare.
"It's okay, I mean, my lord, you are too generous, you can give me three points of income." Gan Ning said weakly.
Yuan Shu looked at the hillbilly with an expression: "Do you know how much money you can make doing this?" is a three-point profit of nearly one million yuan every month. ”
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking that it would be good to be able to divide two or three hundred thousand yuan every month, but he didn't expect that there would be nearly one million, so he immediately drew a face, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the lord is still generous." With this money, I will be able to buy dozens more new building ships. With such a long distance, it is estimated that the new building ship can travel safely. ”
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes: "Okay, you hurry up and go back and prepare!" Set off within three days, if it can't be done well, the naval governor will let Cai Mao do it! ”
"Yes!" Gan Ning didn't care at all and left with a smile.
"This Gan Xingba!" Looking at the lawless Gan Ning, Yuan Shu sighed lightly: "He seems to be a little too idle and panicked, do you want to find something for him to do?" Liaodong should be able to arrange it in another half a year. ”
In the later period of the Three Kingdoms in history, there were many voyages between Wu and Wei.
For example, the name of the Japanese people was sealed by Cao Rui after he crossed the ocean to Wei in 238 AD.
And Wu Guo is not to mention, he relied on the naval army to gain a foothold.
Sun Quan also sent his naval army to Yizhou, which is now Taiwan. However, due to the inadaptability of water and soil and the plague, nine out of ten people died of the plague, so the idea of colonization was abandoned.
Japan Wu has also been to the country of Wu many times, modern archaeology has been found to have left a number of bronze mirrors produced by Wu country. Moreover, the state of Wu has been mentioned many times in ancient Japanese books, and the Later Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties have been mistakenly called "Wu Kingdom". There should have been a lot of trading between them at that time.
The most powerful is Liaodong, and Sun Quan has also sailed far away in Liaodong! Moreover, during the Jian'an years, he sent an envoy to collude with Gongsun Kang, but he was cut down by Gongsun Kang, and the two families became enemies.
Later, after the death of Gongsun Kang, his son succeeded to the throne and befriended Sun Quan, and the fleet of Wu began to sail on the sea between Liaodong and Jiangnan again.
Later, Sun Quan was even more whimsical and wanted to send a naval army to Liaodong. The most amazing thing is that it really succeeded, but because it was autumn on the way back, the sea was stormy and the waves were high, and on the way back, he docked and had to dock at the coast when he encountered a storm, and was lucky enough to squat by Tian Yu of Wei and slaughtered. After that, Wu had several voyages to Liaodong, but most of them ended in tragedy.
Therefore, the navigation technology of the Three Kingdoms period was already very developed, especially the navigation technology of the Wu Kingdom. It's just that because the result of each battle at sea has coincidentally turned into a tragedy, it has not been carried forward by Wu Guo.
Due to many reasons, in the end, Wu only traded between the Wa Kingdom, Liaodong and the South China Sea countries, and did not further develop and colonize.
Like Yizhou, which Yuan Shu is now colonizing, Sun Quan's navy has been to I don't know how many times. However, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, he had to give up the idea of colonization.
But Sun Quan's inability to govern the water and soil does not mean that Yuan Shu can't cure it!
There are many doctors in Yangzhou now, and with a big guy like Zhang Zhongjing, it is not difficult to solve the problem of water and soil.
Moreover, Yuan Shu also gave a lot of constructive suggestions, such as eating fruits at sea, boiling water to drink, maintaining personal hygiene and disinfection.
The wisdom of the crowd is infinite, and if all the best doctors in Yangzhou are called over for study, Yuan Shu does not believe that these problems cannot be solved.
If he is not sure, Yuan Shu dares to let the families go to Yizhou to colonize? The families are not fools.
In the past year, Yuan Shu has spent a lot of money on the shipyard, plus digging craftsmen everywhere, and various encouragement and reward policies, if even Sun Quan's achievements are not achieved, then he can really hit the wall.
After all, not to mention the manpower and material resources spent, the goals of the two were different from the beginning, and Yuan Shu went straight to the warship that could sail on the sea.
Jingzhou is in his own hands, and the water army in the Yangtze River is of little significance. A 20,000-strong trolls will suffice. What about the rest of the trolls? It must be pulled to the sea!
What Hainan, Japan, Liaodong, which does not need tens of thousands of sailors?
Yuan Shu fantasized about waiting until the south was reunified, and let Gan Ning go to Guishuang to touch the nails.
As a country that basically only attaches importance to land power, the shipbuilding level of the Han Dynasty is still too much worse than that of Guishan.
Even if Yuan Shu attaches importance to it now, relying on financial resources and manpower to keep catching up, it will not reach the level of Guishuang in more than ten years. Therefore, Gan Ning has to kneel nine times out of ten when he bumps into it.
But even if this thing's talent can't be beaten, it's definitely no problem to run. was hung and beaten by the other party a few times, presumably Gan Ning would not jump like this again.
Since crushing Cai Mao head-on, Gan Ning's goods have been a little floating. But it is true that in the water army, he has basically reached the top of the entire big man, and it is normal to be a little arrogant.
But Yuan Shu can't get used to it! Yuan Shu knows how big this world is! What does it mean to reach the top in Dahan? No pressure at all. If you have the ability, you will beat all the navy of Guishan to me.
Taking advantage of Gan Ning's youth now, Yuan Shu plans to hone and hone him. Otherwise, such a good time of growth would have been wasted, and when he came back to his senses, he would probably not be able to go any further.
