Chapter 13: On the way to Beihai

Gongsun Kang went to Qingzhou by sea from Dalian City. Tai Shi Ci was waiting to pick him up at the beach.

Walking through the bustling city of Dalian, Gongsun Kang was full of emotion.

It was a desert island, with no one and wild trees.

Now it is a majestic city, and the population of the city is all displaced people from Qingzhou. Now all industries are developed, all kinds of shops are lined up along the street, and the sound of selling is endless. Looking at the endless flow of pedestrians, it is obvious that they have regarded this place as their hometown, and the next generation probably doesn't know what Qingzhou looks like.

The land around Dalian is fertile, and the locals are already self-sufficient in food. But the local specialties are a variety of seafood and coarse salt.

Dalian's fishery products have developed into dried fish, salted fish, and fish floss; Dalian's coarse salt sells well in the three counties of Liaodong. Dalian also has a large shipyard, and Tai Shici's warships are all produced by Dalian Shipyard.

When the old friends met, Gongsun Kang hugged Tai Shici. This is a matter of the king's attitude, and sure enough, Tai Shi Ci was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Ziyi has been at sea all the year round and has suffered." Gongsun Kang's voice was low, full of emotion and apology.

"I'm not bitter, it's just that Liaodong has fought with foreign races in the past two years, and I haven't been on the battlefield, so I am ashamed of my son's high hope." Tai Shi Ci was also very guilty.

"Ziyi guarded the Yellow Sea and transported food for millions of people in Liaodong, and worked hard." Gongsun Kang's ability to incite and encourage his subordinates does not seem to have deteriorated.

The two brothers touted each other back and forth for a long time, and Gongsun Kang called Cai Wenji over: "Wenji, you know each other, but she is your sister-in-law now." ”

"Hello sister-in-law, congratulations." Tai Shi Ci respects Cai Yong very much, loves the house and Wu, and also respects Cai Wenji.

"Uncle Wanfu" Cai Wenji said very politely.

"Don't dare to bear it, Ziyi doesn't dare to accept the gift from his sister-in-law." Tai Shi Ci was at a loss and made a big red face.

"Alright, let's get out of the boat." Gongsun Kang ordered.

On the way to Qingzhou, Tai Shici introduced the archipelago. At present, these six islands, like Dalian, can farm their own land and can fully feed the island. At present, it has a population of 300,000, and these 300,000 are not counted among the 800,000 displaced people who went to Liaodong.

It seems that I have caused a lot of harm to Qingzhou. Gongsun Kang also had a time when his conscience was discovered.

The coarse salt and snow salt produced by the archipelago were sold well in all states and counties in the North China Plain, and a large amount of grain was exchanged for Liaodong.

In this era, the exploitation of the ocean is almost zero. If it is a future generation, just relying on seafood, it can make coastal cities rich. Gongsun Kang can only sigh in his heart, limited by the current social productivity, he has no solution.

"All 30,000 of my brothers have been living at sea for two years. The next time you cross the sea to conquer foreign races, please use me to fight, and I will win! Tai Shi Ci formally asked Gongsun Kang.

"Wow," Gongsun Kang promised him, "Compared with the princes of the Central Plains, our navy is absolutely first-class." We just have to firmly grasp the hegemony of the sea! ”

"Nuo" Tai Shi Ci was very excited. Every general aspires to make a career on the battlefield, not to be a transport captain for many years.

Arriving at the coast of Donglai County, Gongsun Kang was embraced by Zhang Liao, Yangyi and others, and Taishi Ci said goodbye to him and set foot on the land of Qingzhou.

Why am I in tears? Because I deeply love the hot land of Qingzhou, I am full of affection for it. Gongsun Kang made up his mind that he must take down the Beihai Kingdom this time.

"Wen Yuan, has there been any progress in martial arts? Don't be beaten up by me again. Gongsun Kang joked about Zhang Liao.

"The master's martial arts, I am convinced, but I don't dare to compete with the lord anymore." Zhang Liao shook his head again and again.

"Uncle Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, my father misses you very much, so I asked me to say hello to you." Gongsun Kang saluted to the sun.

Yang Yi hurriedly knelt down, "I also miss the old lord very much, is the old lord well?" ”

"I'm in good health, eat well, sleep well, and find a second-room mom for me, hahaha" Gongsun Kang is really, even the old father's jokes dare to be made.

Yang Yi and Zhang Liao were embarrassed and couldn't answer. The little official next to him hurriedly said: "County guard, the carriage and horses have been prepared." ”

Zhang Liao glanced at the little official appreciatively: Good boy, promising! It's really eye-catching. Hurriedly bent down and arched his hand: "Please get in the car, Lord." ”

"Good!" Gongsun Kang took Cai Wenji into the carriage and went to the county guard of Donglai County.

Gongsun Kang stayed in Donglai County for three days and learned in detail about the population, economy, current situation of the family, the number of the army, and the combat effectiveness of Donglai County. Instructions were given to Zhang Liao and Yangyi: prepare to receive half of Qingzhou. The territory of Donglai County, Beihai Country, Qi Country, and Le'an Country is operated together.

Gongsun Kang is ready to turn You Junda, Ruan Xiaowu, and Zhang Shun into light, and he should accept the surrender of the Yellow Turban Army. In this way, there are nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and it is easy to hold half of Qingzhou's territory.

In this way, the soldiers of the Gongsun family are 500,000, which is already the largest number of princes in the world. But there are only 100,000 soldiers in the entire three counties of Liaodong, is it necessary for Qingzhou to put 400,000 soldiers and horses? Can you raise it?

Even Cao Cao knew that soldiers were not expensive, so wouldn't Gongsun Kang know?

He decided that Qingzhou would only retain 50,000 elite soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers would be transformed into Tuntian soldiers. Usually, it is mainly used to open up the wasteland, and it is only trained when the farm is slack. Qingzhou is deserted, there are no roosters and white bones are exposed in the wild, and production needs to be resumed as soon as possible to restore the economy and people's livelihood.
