Liu Bei really wanted to cry, he had nothing now, no army, no money, no freedom, and the only thing left was the two brothers who followed him.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were taken away by Cao Cao, he would be completely hopeless.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's last belongings, and they have to keep them.

Liu Bei waited in the pavilion for an hour or so, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back together.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

The two saw that Liu Bei's face was not good, so they called out and sat down next to them.

Liu Bei slowed down, then changed a more relaxed expression and said, "The prime minister came to me just now." ”

"This Cao Cao, what do you want?" Zhang Fei had a hot temper and immediately shouted.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and motioned for him to whisper.

"This Prime Minister Cao wants the second brother and the third brother to contribute to him." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stared at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to see what was wrong with them.

Zhang Fei slapped the table angrily and said, "Don't think about it, keep your eldest brother here, and you still want me to help him." ”

Guan Yu frowned and didn't say anything.

Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, but he still scolded Zhang Fei a few words and asked him not to talk nonsense.

"If we want to leave, we still have to pretend to obey Cao Cao's arrangement, if we can obtain military power, we can only leave when we find an opportunity, and I hope that the two younger brothers will continue to endure humiliation." Liu Bei said sadly.

After that, Liu Bei said some things that were worthy of a big man and that his ambition was difficult to reward.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu promised that they would live up to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were stabilized, so they dared to rest assured that the two of them would go to work for Cao Cao.

What Liu Bei is most afraid of is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will also leave him, and he will really have nothing at that time.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Cao Cao to report soon after, and Cao Cao was overjoyed.

However, Cao Cao also guarded the two and did not let them stay in the same army.

There is nothing they can do about it.

After Cao Cao returned, he actively prepared armaments and prepared for another battle.

At this time, the battle line in the north has stabilized, and it is necessary to wait for their own preparations to fight again.

Zhang Yu has been handling internal affairs in Jiangdong, reformulating strategies and planning for future development.

A new round of large-scale construction began in Kodong.

The first is to build some main trunks in Jiangdong, and the standard is to build according to the Chi Road.

The second is to establish a royal city.

Zhang Yu had the experience to build a new city, planned it in advance, and determined some families to supply the materials needed to build the city.

Zhang Yu felt that it was too inefficient to prepare various materials by himself, and outsourcing to various families could effectively use the resources of all parties.

Wangcheng, the scale should be large, to undertake the hub of the north and south.

Zhang Yu has been back in Jiangdong for three months, and after he is busy with things, he lives a leisurely life, discussing life with a few wives, and teasing the two little guys, and his life is very good.

The small life is good, and Zhang Yu is also satisfied with the current development speed.

On this day, Zhang Yu was still working in the study during the day, and Guo Jia came in a hurry.

"Lord, big news." Guo Jia gave Zhang Yu a big news as soon as he came.

Zhang Yu put down the matter in his hand and let Guo Jia sit aside.

Zhang Yu called the guards and asked them to prepare tea.

Zhang Yu saw that Guo Jia was sweating, there must be something big, don't be in a hurry about the big thing, drink slowly.

After a while, the tea was served, and two people sat opposite each other in the study.

"Bong-hyo, speak slowly."

Guo Jia had already breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhang Yu: "Lord, I still remember that your father-in-law sent a fleet to explore last year, and now there is news." ”

How could Zhang Yu not remember that this Qiao Xuan had lost more than 50 million dollars.

"What's the news?"

"They didn't get wrecked at sea, not only did they not wreck, but they went to several countries, and finally they came to a country with a huge population, comparable to our Chinese people, with an estimated population of nearly 200 million." Guo Jia said.

With a huge population, the problem is big, no wonder Guo Jia is in such a hurry.

In fact, Zhang Yu already knows which country it is, and there is only one country with a population similar to that of China.

China's population is growing, and the world is growing, so it's not surprising that India's population is about the same size as China's.

Zhang Yu asked, "What's it called?" ”

"Tianzhu Kingdom."

Zhang Yu naturally knew that it was India, but he didn't know what they were called during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Haha, this Qiao Xuan has made a great contribution, and I thought that more than 50 million yuan was going to be wasted, but I didn't expect to earn it back."

Zhang Yu was happy, he naturally knew about the existence of India for a long time, but someone also had to go on an expedition and find a way out.

India Zhang Yu will go sooner or later, but it is not in the plan yet.

Now that someone has explored it, other fleets can follow the route directly to India.

There are many other countries along the road, and these countries do not know what the situation is now, and when the time comes, depending on the situation, those who can colonize will be colonized, and those who cannot will do business.

"Qiao Xuan knows about this?"

"I don't know, we have run out of supplies, many ships are also damaged, and they are docked in the south for repairs, and our spies will find out the situation first and report it." Guo Jia said.

This expedition fleet also suffered a lot of losses when it went out, and docked in the Guangdong region when it came back, so Qiao Xuan hadn't received the news yet.

I thought they were wrecked at sea, but they all came back.

Since he came back, the loss was not so big, and Zhang Yu was also happy.

If nothing else, a lot of compensation for those crew members can be saved.

Qiao Xuan still rents some boats, which can also save a lot of money.

"Fengxiao, I'm afraid we're going to organize a big fleet again." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: "Zibu will definitely be in a hurry with you at that time, you will have to raise tens of millions to go to Australia, and I am afraid it will cost you a lot to go to Tianzhu Kingdom." ”

Zhang Yu could think that if he asked Zhang Zhao for tens of millions again, then Zhang Zhao would definitely be in a hurry with him at that time.

But Tianzhu is not going to be able to go right away, and even if you go, it's useless.

First of all, you have to make contacts, then you have to understand the local situation, and finally you have to do business.

But knowing the route, it's not difficult.

"It seems that we have to use another method this time, the money must be scraped together, with a population of more than 200 million and a large market, how can we give up." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu has an idea, they can't eat such a big market at all, and when the time comes, they can also make some money from the private sector by cooperating with the private sector.

First of all, Zhang Yu and his fleet can take their ships with them when they set off, charge a certain fee, and the transaction is to charge a small share.

In this way, they can share some of the pressure, and they can also do some business that Zhang Yu can't take care of.

The big-headed business Zhang Yu must be in their own hands, and some small-headed businesses are run by the people themselves.

In addition, if they want to go, they will have to buy ships or rent ships, and their own shipyards will be able to make a lot of money at that time.
