"Yuan Zhi, are you ready?" Ye Chen found Xu Shu directly on the dock and asked.

"Lord, after receiving your order, we began to prepare, and it is faster to call the materials directly to the major warehouses, that is, the families of these craftsmen bring more things, and the speed is relatively slow, but they can all be prepared in one or two days." Xu Shu replied.

"Well, tell them not to bring too many unnecessary things, didn't we give a pretty generous settling-in fee?"

Ye Chen understood that it was really immoral to let people move their families thousands of miles away without giving them enough settling expenses.

"Lord, the settlement allowance has been paid, but they are relatively poor people, who have suffered all their lives, and they are reluctant to have some bottles and cans." Xu Shu said.

For the people to bring a lot of things, Xu Shu did not stop them, as long as they could bring them.

"Okay, then wait two more days."

So Ye Chen stopped in Yuxian County, so he could take the opportunity to learn more about the situation of the various workshops in Yuxian County.

On the whole, the workshop can train a lot of craftsmen every day, and the productivity is constantly improving.

At the same time, Ye Chen also learned that the bow and crossbow had been designed, but there had been no ideal material, either the power was insufficient or it was easy to break, so it had not been finalized until now.

The power of the bow and crossbow should not be underestimated, and if it is equipped in large quantities, it is definitely a great weapon for the army.

This problem could not be solved for the time being, and Ye Chen could only put it down first.

Looking at the patches of workshops, Ye Chen seemed to see the continuous factories of the later generations, as long as the factory machine sounded, the gold would be ten thousand taels.

Two days passed quickly, and the fleet was ready.

This time, there were not many people brought with me, mainly administrative staff and craftsmen, as well as the families of craftsmen.

These add up to more than 10,000 people.

These men were organized into a separate fleet, all of which consisted of merchant ships.

Then there was the army, in addition to the three thousand sailors, there was also the three thousand personal guard battalion led by Ye Chen.

Now the ships of the Ye family are very large, a big ship can seat hundreds of people, and there are even larger ships under construction.

However, Ye Chen adhered to the principle of gradual progress, and did not let the navy make a big leap, and suddenly changed from a navy to a navy.

Ye Chen's basic understanding of the navy is that it can sail far away and withstand the wind and waves at sea.

And for this voyage, Ye Chen's most basic requirement is to be able to reach Dongying.

Dongying is the place where Ye Chen must go in the future, and his water army is also heading towards this goal.

It's just that today's navy has not experienced any storms and waves, and has not experienced war.

And the south, to be precise, relies on Taiwan, so as to explore Southeast Asia, so that the navy slowly transforms into a navy.

The fleet is mighty, and hundreds of large ships set off from Liaodong, making up for it with flags and a strong lineup.

Even the caravans, accustomed to seeing ships, couldn't help but marvel.

"The development of Liaodong is amazing."

"Yes, fortunately, I followed the Ye family at the beginning, so I can do business so well at this time."

"Haha, don't follow Ye Chen with anyone, we businessmen only have a high status in Liaodong, in other places, hehe."

"I really hope that this Ye Chen can reign in the world, and then our merchant status will be"

"Be cautious."

In the port, many businessmen who came and went saw the scene of Ye Chen setting sail, the fleet of hundreds of ships, can it not be shocking.

"Lord, is it really necessary for you to leave the affairs of Youzhou and go south with us?" Xu Shu on the boat asked again.

"Now that Youzhou has been decided, all the work has been handed over to my subordinates, I am very relieved, to go to the south, one is to meet old friends, the other is to see Dongyi, Dongyi and Dongyi east of there are too many resources waiting to be developed, do not go to the rest assured, for the future, Dongyi is too important."

Xu Shu thought that Ye Chen thought that Taiwan was important because he might have to face the warlords in the south in the future, but only Ye Chen knew that he wanted to use Taiwan as a springboard to set his sights on the world.

It's just that these are too far away, maybe they can't be completed in this life, but it doesn't matter, if you work hard, there is hope.

The fleet traveled south and approached Qingzhou two days later.

"Haha, I don't know how this Cao Mengde is recently, but I can sleep, send someone to report by clipper first, just say that we are going to stop at the Qingzhou border, please talk about Cao Mengde."

Ye Chen's mood was very high, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, he first thought of Cao Cao.

After Ye Chen gave the order, the clipper quickly went ashore and then went to inform Cao Cao.

"Lord, can this Cao Cao come?" Xu Shu asked.

"I don't know, but it's more likely to come, let's stop outside Qingzhou first, if we come, wait, if we don't come, we will take the opportunity to wander around outside Qingzhou, show force, maybe it will be good at that time."

In later generations, a certain country loved to show off its force, and their aircraft carriers roamed around the world, burning money and benefiting a lot at the same time.

And Ye Chen thinks like this, when the influence of Youzhou rises, talents will take refuge.

When Ye Chen and the others approached Qingzhou, they stopped in the sea area outside Qingzhou.

Those who are on the beach can see that a huge fleet of ships covers a large area of the sea.

They also don't know how many ships are coming from Liaodong.

Fast horse transmission, very fast, when Ye Chen and they approached Qingzhou, it had been three days since the clipper ship went ashore, and Cao Cao had already received the news at this time.

"Meng De, this Ye Chen actually dares to ask you to see him, he has gone back on his word, and he hasn't even settled accounts with him." Cao Ren said angrily.

"That's it, I should have chopped him when I was in Yanjin." Xiahou Yuan also said angrily.

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this and said: "Even if we know that he will rebel at the beginning, we can only let him go, otherwise it will be more difficult for us to deal with Yuan Shao's Youzhou, and this Yuan Shao's halberd is too much of a threat to us." ”

"Meng De, can you just let Ye Chen go, he promised to sell us five thousand high-quality horses at a twenty percent discount in the market, but now the asking price is thirty percent more than the market price." Cao Hong also said angrily.

"Okay, since it's over, it's over, now the horses should be bought and have to be bought, just according to Ye Chen's price, the tiger and leopard cavalry must become an army as soon as possible, Yuan Shao has too much pressure on us, and you should immediately lead five thousand soldiers and horses, and follow me to meet Ye Chen."

Several of Cao Cao's generals were helpless, although they were angry, they had nothing to do with Ye Chen, so they could only prepare.

"Lord, what are your plans to see Ye Chen?" When everyone left, Cheng Yu stayed and asked.

"That's right, what you lost from Ye Chen, you will get it back from him." Cao Cao said.

"Lord, this Ye Chen's advantage is never easy to take advantage of, trade with us, no matter what it is, although we make a lot of money, but he earns more, and it is not so easy to use other methods to obtain benefits."

Thinking of Ye Chen's previous bad deeds, Cheng Yu couldn't help but worry.

"No, it's hard to get benefits directly from Ye Chen, but using him without him knowing, it's still possible to get benefits for us, and even more." Cao Cao said.
