Although this side is very similar to the parallel time and space of the earth's history, Xu Shiyang has no tangible evidence to prove this, he is just a small poor egg dock castle owner in Jiangbei, and he has never seen the real "Tianxia Yutu" This kind of thing seems too lofty in this era.

Therefore, in order to avoid the slight difference in the details of the terrain of the two planes, he deliberately drew the coastline relatively straight, making the whole map a little unprofessional.

On Earth, this level of mapping is about the level of junior high school geography homework.

Of course, in this era when there is no concept of scale and contour lines, Xu Shiyang's graffiti-like map is already very accurate - in fact, the so-called "Tianxia Yu Tu" is not much different from this simple map.

In order to attract the viewer's attention (and also to disguise the inaccuracy of the map), Xu Shiyang drew several animals on the map to represent the various forces.

Without a whip or indicator, Xu Shiyang had to stand in front of the atlas and point to the various parts of the map to make an introduction:

"This is Jiangnan, the control area of the Great Zhou."

South of the Yangtze River, Xu Shiyang specially found someone to draw a woman in gorgeous clothes.

"Why a woman?" Li Feihu asked.

Li Feihuang was also curious.

"Because Da Zhou is weak, rich but not strong, just like this gorgeously dressed beauty."

Xu Shiyang explained with a wry smile:

"The beasts around all want to take advantage of this woman, and even want to take her for themselves."

"Makes sense." Li Feihu thought about it with his head held high and agreed.

This is the Jiangbei Central Plains, which used to be the front line against the eastern, northern, and western captives, but now because of the southward migration of the Great Zhou, it has been dilapidated and depressed.

There is a blank space here, but Xu Shiyang drew a small hunter in the southern part of the Qilu Peninsula, dressed in cloth, carrying a bow and arrow, and holding a steel fork for hunting.

"This is our Xu family in Juzhou, the only Han armed force that is still resisting the invasion of the Tatars."

Xu Shiyang introduced:

"For more than ten years, there is nothing we can do about the Tartars, we are still fighting."

This is bragging, the Tartars didn't pay much attention to the poor countryside of Juzhou before, and before Xu Shiyang, the Tartars didn't suffer any obstacles to robbing Juzhou.

His statement seems to be that the Tartars have always wanted to fight but couldn't beat Juzhou.

"Further north, across the sea from Qi Province, is Liaodong, the territory of the Jurchen Tartars."

Here, Xu Shiyang painted a wild boar with fangs on its sideburns, facing south.

"They are beasts, and they have always wanted to take the soft woman of Da Zhou for themselves."

"Uh......."

Wild boars possess beautiful women? Li Feihuang felt sick.

The feeling of disgust rises from the depths of the heart, and it cannot be suppressed.

To the west of the boar was a grinning wolf with one paw into the clearing to the northwest, but with its large mouth facing the boar's back.

"This is steppe Tatar."

Xu Shiyang made a brief introduction, but did not explain why the Tatar's fangs were pointed at the wild boar, and he did not expect the pirates to pay attention to this detail.

To the southwest of the wolf, there is a poisonous snake with its head stretched forward, and the snake's head has reached into the Ganliang area, and it is possible to continue to move forward in that posture.

"This is the Xiyu party."

Xu Shiyang said as he took out a quill pen and simply sketched a boat on the sea beside the gorgeous woman representing the Great Zhou.

"This is your Li family."

"Temporary ......." Li Feihuang muttered in a dissatisfied whisper.

Li Feihu didn't say a word, looking at the painting with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This is the Yangtze River, Da Zhou, the only security door that everyone can rely on at present, without this gate, the fate of Da Zhou ......, hehe."

Xu Shiyang continued:

"This is the Grand Canal, the only area along the northern part of the canal that is still functioning."

"What do you have to do with us?" Li Feihuang asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"Thirteen!" Li Feihu scolded her lightly, and then said to Xu Shiyang: "Please Brother Xu continue." ”

The pirate felt like he had thought of something, but it wasn't always very real.

"Flying Phoenix girl, the next thing is the point."

Xu Shiyang emphasized in a tone that later generations of teachers gave students a key point:

"We, the Xu family, the strategic goals of the next stage are: 1. Control the entire Qi Province, including the Qi Provincial Section of the Grand Canal."

"2. Based on this victory, it will make a name for Wen Xianggong to go out of the mountain again."

"Again, my younger brother Xu Shiliu." Xu Shiyang pointed to the fifth brother who was speechless and said: "I am about to become a disciple of Wen Xianggong, and our success is also related to who has the upper hand in the main battle master of the Great Zhou officialdom and the two factions." ”

In fact, the Xu family has not yet set up with Wen Xianggong and the main battle faction, but this does not prevent Xu Shiyang from bragging about his investment prospects in front of possible investors.

Treating "will" as "already", those real third brothers in the other world have fooled many people with this small means.

"Brother Xu just said that your next stage is to control the Qi section of the Grand Canal?" Li Feihu felt that he was starting to grasp the crux of the matter.

"Yes, let's not mention the general trend of the world, there are two points that are beneficial to Brother Li and your entire Li family here."

Xu Shiyang continued:

"First, if we cut off the Grand Canal, you will be able to gain a larger market share in Liaodong."

At present, the main transportation routes for the Great Zhou Dynasty to export silk and tea to Liaodong come from two points: one is to take the Grand Canal, and use the manpower of the canal dock fort along the way to transport trade materials and annual coins to the Yanyun area, which are received by the Jurchens.

Then the New Year's coins were naturally provided free of charge, but for private goods, the Jurchens would exchange them for gold and silver (a large part of which was the silver in the New Year's coins) or ginseng, mink, deer antlers, pearls and other Liao goods.

The fleet that transported the New Year's coins then brought the Liao goods back to Da Zhou and sold them, so as to make a lot of money.

Now this business is concentrated in the hands of the capitulation faction, and it is a major source of revenue for them and the Jiangnan gentry who support them.

Another route was for the Jurchens to sell the Liao goods to the Goryeo (Goryeo itself also had a certain share), and then the Goryeo fleet transported them to ports controlled by the Li group (there were many in Shuangyu Port), and then distributed by the Li group.

The Koreans generally bought large quantities of luxury goods from the Li group, including silk, porcelain, tea, tobacco, sugar, and even opera troupes and Jiangnan thin horses, which were supplied to the middle and high-ranking Jurchen nobles.

"I don't know what the share of Liao goods in the direction of your side and the canal is, so I should be half."

Xu Shiyang smiled and said:

"When I cut off the route of the Grand Canal, the Liao goods can only take the sea route, and your profits from the Liao goods should be doubled, and Brother Li and Feihuang Girl can calculate how much more money you can make."
