Sun, sand, sea.

There is also delicious seafood.

The easternmost part of the Shandong Peninsula, the Chishanpu in the southeast of Chengshanjiao in Wendeng County, Dengzhou, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the mountains and the sea are connected, the sea scenery is spectacular, and the mountains are beautiful.

Most on the top of the red mountain, looking at the bay harbor, the blue sky, the white clouds, the blue water of the blue sea.

The mountains, seas, lakes and ports are integrated with each other, and the seaports and fishing villages are connected into a line.

The seagrass houses with local characteristics and the small fishing boats in and out of the harbor all make people marvel at the simple and primitive scenery here.

Such a pure scenery was extremely difficult to find in later generations, but at this time, it was only a remote and backward term, an undeveloped and poor place.

"San Lang, according to your instructions before, I have sent someone to buy this large piece of land in Chishanpu, because there are many saline-alkali lands here, so the price is cheap, and it only cost less than three thousand yuan in total, and this seaport is now in your name."

Zhao Zhiman is a man in Guanzhong, and he is also amazed by the blue sea, but he is amazed, but he still thinks that it is not cost-effective to spend 3,000 yuan to buy this land in the east of this remote sea.

What's here?

There is nothing, a small bay surrounded by mountains on three sides, this kind of bay is called Pu by the Tang people, the coastal land is everywhere, the land by the sea is mostly saline-alkali land, and there are many storms, plus it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are not a few acres of land, and the road is not smooth, Zhao Zhiman can't think of why Li Xiao designated to buy land here earlier.

Instead of buying land, I bought land, and I basically bought the bay of Chishanpu directly, and I bought all these wastelands at the foot of the surrounding mountains surrounded by the sea on three sides.

Li Xiao climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at the east.

There, across a not so far sea, is Goguryeo. From here, the distance to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, is only 800 miles in a straight line.

From here to Jinan is a thousand miles away, to Luoyang is two thousand miles, to Chang'an is three thousand miles away.

From here to Wuzhenzhou, where Li Xiao is about to take office, it is actually only 900 miles.

As long as you can solve the problem of direct flights, then in fact, it is far more convenient and faster to go from Chishanpo to Silla Baekje Goguryeo than to Jinan to Luoyang to Chang'an. In particular, in this day and age, the transportation capacity of sea routes is actually stronger and faster than that of land routes.

"It's bound to be a bustling harbor in the future." Li Xiao said with a smile.

Today it is just a deserted cove, but it has excellent facilities, such as the excellent harbour of Chisanpo, which is an excellent haven, and it is actually the closest to the Korean Peninsula in a straight line.

In particular, the current offensive of the Tang Dynasty in Korea is mainly by sea route, and the naval division first landed on the southwest coast of Baekje, the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, as a base camp for the attack, so there is no doubt that Chisanpo, which is closer to Baekje, has great potential.

"Why don't we set sail from Dengzhou?"

Dengzhou Port is about 500 miles away from Chishanpu, and it is also in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, but one is in the northeast corner and the other is in the southeast corner.

Dengzhou Port is one of the four major seaports of Datang at this time, and Guangzhou Port, Mingzhou Port, Hangzhou Port is also the first seaport on the northern coast of Datang, many southern sea ships are directly to Dengzhou, where goods enter and exit.

As the first seaport in the north, Dengzhou Port is very prosperous, although it is not as rich as Yangzhou, but as a seaport, it is difficult for such an unpopular seaport like Chishanpu to catch the horse.

Dengzhou is even a military port, with ships of the Navy Division stationed all year round, and a water village of the Navy Division.

For a long time, Dengju was not only the starting point for the southward transportation of northern maritime goods, but also the starting point for the northern navigation of Liaodong, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Dongying.

The largest sea route in the north is from the port of Dengju, along the Miaodo Islands to the Liaodong Peninsula, then along the coast to Goguryeo, and then along the coastline of the Korean Peninsula all the way south until it reaches Silla and Dongying.

In fact, the trade volume of this route is not smaller than that of the Guangzhou-Nanyang route.

"We will create a new world here, and we will use Chishanpu as a starting point to paint a new and magnificent poem. We will open up a new route, and Chishanpo will also become a new Dengju port. ”

Zhao Zhiman was amazed by Li Xiao's ambition.

"Is it possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, as long as you dare to think and dare to do."

Today's Chishanpu is indeed just a desolate bay, but with the new technology of direct shipping, then with Li Xiao taking the lead, Chishanpu will become an important support point for the fastest route between the Korean Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula.

The sailors of the Tang Dynasty have already conquered the city in Baekje, and the imperial court has begun to set up Andong Province on the Korean Peninsula, setting up prefectures and counties here, and those powerful bureaucrats have sent people to buy fields and land, open mines and build farms, and it will become busier and busier in the future, and countless people and goods will flow in and out, this is the trend.

Li Xiao just saw through this early and decided to follow the trend.

It takes thousands of miles to sail from the port of Dengju to Pyongyang, and from the port of Dengju to Murjinju, it takes more than 1,000 miles.

The shorter the route, the better.

There are several conditions that can turn a desolate fishing village into a prosperous seaport: First, there must be a new navigation technology that can sail directly to North Korea, otherwise, under the existing navigation technology, sea ships will sail along the coast, and when they get to North Korea, they must first go to the Liaodong Peninsula, and Dengzhou is in the north and Chishanpu is in the south, so the captains naturally have no reason to run to this small fishing village in the south to set sail.

Secondly, the imperial court's current use of troops against Korea, as well as its military victories, especially the imperial court's strategy of attacking Goguryeo and destroying Baekje first, gave Chisanpo a more convenient location.

Coupled with the great enthusiasm of the magnates of the Central Plains for enclosing land in Korea, Chishanpu has excellent conditions for opening the port.

"When the nobles of Chang'an City were rushing to Baekje to enclose land and occupy mines, I didn't think about fighting with them. North Korea's land will become more and more expensive in the future, and the mines will become more and more expensive, and it takes a lot of people to farm and mine, and it is not easy to do a great job in North Korea without the rich foundation of the nobles of Chang'an. ”

Li Xiao smiled, but he didn't necessarily have to go to Baekje to fight for land and mines.

He developed a seaport here, making it the entrance and exit seaport from Baekje Silla Goguryeo Dongying to Datang, which was actually more profitable.

It is true that if this harbor has good signs in the future, there will definitely be nobles who will come to share the profits, but at least if he starts early, then he will have more say and will be able to get more benefits in the future.

The small Haipu he bought for 3,000 yuan may be sold for 30,000 or even 300,000 in the future.

This is a Datang unicorn.
