Chapter 151: Transporting Grain and Building Momentum

"It must be, the main reason is that the wine brewed by Ziang is too tempting, and it is a little uncontrollable", Guo Jia took out the wine gourd and took a sip, and said beautifully, I just asked for it at Liu Yi's house the day before yesterday, and now it is almost gone.

"Whatever you want", Liu Yi shook his head helplessly and buried himself in government affairs.

Later, Jia Xu also walked in slowly, looking like a pensioner, going to bed early and getting up early, not panicking at all.

After staying in the government affairs hall for a long time, Liu Yi suddenly reacted that the matter of discussing with Liu Bei yesterday to support Gongsun Zhan had not been decided, and he almost forgot about it.

"By the way, I came back yesterday to discuss with Xuande Gong to see if we can give Gongsun Chan in the north some support, after all, when we were begging Dong, Gongsun Chan helped Xuande Gong a lot", Liu Yi raised his head and said.

Everyone's eyes looked at Liu Yi and listened carefully to what Liu Yi said.

"If you want to give support, you can only give some grain and grass, the north is bitter cold, our soldiers will definitely not adapt to the support in the past, and Gongsun Chan is not short of other things", Guo Jia took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said.

"Indeed, what we discussed was to send some grain and grass over, now our grain and grass are not so lacking, and we can also free up some for General Gongsun", Liu Yi said with a smile, Guo Jia is usually drunk, but it does not affect his brain at all, and his reaction is so fast.

"It is rumored that there has always been a gap between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, Liu Yi manages the government affairs of Youzhou, and he will definitely deduct Gongsun Chan's grain and grass, let's send charcoal in the snow to see if we can get some war horses from Youzhou", Jia Xu touched his chin and said, and he was careful to support people who wanted to get some benefits and come back.

"Have you considered how to transport the grain and grass over, or how to transport the war horses back", Liu Yi saw that a few people had finalized the matter with one sentence and one sentence, and no one mentioned the specific implementation, so he couldn't help but have a headache.

Guo Jiajia was obviously stunned, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought each other, Yuan Shao occupied Yizhou, if he wanted to go to the land to send Gongsun Chan grain and grass, he must pass through Yizhou to be the closest, otherwise he had to go around in a big circle.

"Yizhou is in the middle, and if you can't get the grain and grass to support Gongsun Zan will be intercepted by Yuan Shao, it will be self-defeating," said Xi Zhicai with a frown.

"That's right, land transportation will definitely not work, Yuan Shao can't be so stupid, watching us support Gongsun Zan indifferent, if you don't want to go through Yizhou, you can only go around a big circle, from Yanzhou to Bingzhou and then to Youzhou, the road is far away, the risk is very high, so we can't go by land", Liu Yi recalled the map of the Three Kingdoms, and found that it was really 108,000 miles to go around Yizhou to reach Youzhou, which was not advisable.

"Then what should I do", Jian Yong watched several of them discuss, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm anymore, sure enough, the gap still existed, and the few people in front of him were all top strategists in the world, and their vision and reaction were all first-class.

"Shipping, I think Mizhu runners should go through, Qingzhou to Youzhou, shipping is the closest", Liu Yi said decisively, the ship navy has always been not valued in the north, after all, in the north of the Great Plains, the power of a cavalry is much higher than that of the navy, and there are fewer requirements for ships, because they are basically not used.

"The sea is very risky", Guo Jia opened his mouth to remind, he has always been in awe of the sea, because he has not conquered the sea so far, and the unknown is always frightening, let alone the endless sea.

"As long as you don't go to the deep sea, it's no problem, I think it's impossible for the Mi family not to go by sea, Qingzhou to Youzhou, it only takes a short time to sail at sea, and the risk should not be big", Liu Yi thought about it and said, except for shipping, everything else is not realistic.

"Ziang has time to ask Mi Zhu, if the Mi family has no experience in sea sailing, then don't take risks." Jia Xu thought for a while and said, the junction of Qingzhou and Youzhou on the map is separated by an inland sea, a very close distance.

"Okay, I'll go to Zizhong to ask in the evening", Liu Yi said with a smile, the Mi family has been in business for so long, how can there be no ships, there are many waters in the south, as long as you have a little sailing experience, and you don't want to explore the sea, Qingzhou to Youzhou, just sail in the inland sea, Liu Yi thinks there is no problem.

The only consideration is whether the Mi family has a large enough ship to transport grain and grass, and few of the ships that are usually used for commercial use can use large ships, and it is difficult to build large ships, and it is difficult to get them without shipbuilding technology, I hope the Mi family can have it.

"How is Ziang going to Beihai", Jia Xu sat in his place, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.

"Everything is going well, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong agreed to be the dean of Qingzhou Academy, but he has to take time to come over, I guess he will not stay in Qingzhou Academy to teach", Liu Yi shook his head and deduced that Kong Rong is the Beihai Taishou, even if he wants to, it is impossible for him to come to Qingzhou Academy to stay and teach, because the position is sealed today, it is an official position, unless Kong Rong wants to rebel, otherwise he can only stay in Beihai to teach honestly.

"Yes, Kong Beihai can only be used as a signboard, and the teacher of Qingzhou Academy still needs us to recruit ourselves", Xi Zhicai accosted without raising his head, Kong Rong was still an official of the Han Dynasty after all, and he knew that he couldn't leave Beihai for too long.

Liu Yi fell into deep thought, Kong Rong couldn't come to Qingzhou Academy to teach, Mr. Teaching could only choose a part from the inside, and then see if he could recruit a part, and spread the news of Qingzhou Academy under the guise of Xuandegong's birthday, to see if he could get a few teaching talents.

"Ziang, then Qingzhou Academy can be opened, by the way, spread the news", Guo Jia said with a smile, Qingzhou Academy opened, Guo Jia thought about whether he could rub a teaching position, so that he didn't have to stay in the government affairs hall all day, it was too boring.

"Well, spread it as soon as possible, and take advantage of the time to get out the teaching books of the academy, the spring equinox, it is also quite appropriate", Liu Yi nodded and said, papermaking and printing, although there are people in the world who want to covet it, but there is no strength to snatch it from Liu Bei's hands.

"Ziang, since those books are so easy to get, why don't you take advantage of this time to spread the news and recruit some teaching gentlemen," Jia Xu proposed with a smile.

"Yes, why didn't I think that if I spread the news, I would send a book to them as long as I came to Qingzhou Academy to teach, and I could visit our library for free.

You look at how rich Qingzhou Academy is, as long as you come to teach, I will give you books, of course, some of these misunderstandings are the reason for this shock, as long as books are mentioned, people's first impression is the scroll, but Liu Yi They sent books, which are completely two concepts, because books are too easy to make, only need to be printed and bound, and they are not as precious as books at all.

"Is there enough paper", Guo Jia looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, how much paper can be made in his small pond.

"Don't worry about this, I discussed the process of papermaking with Xuande Gong a few days ago, and when the time comes, the power of the people of Chengyang will be mobilized, and paper will not be a problem at all", Liu Yi said with a smile, how can this kind of mass production paper not catch up with consumption, and there is no need to worry about this kind of problem.

"That's good, go and discuss with Xuande Gong as soon as possible, see if you can start spreading the news tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after all, it takes a certain amount of time for the spread of news", Jia Xu suggested, the emergence of papermaking and printing will definitely shock the people of the world, so that the world's scholars yearn for Qingzhou, and before you know it, the foundation of Qingzhou will become more and more stable.
