Chapter 148: Southern Tour
After taking a big turn around the barracks, Huo Yu took advantage of the dinner time to gather the generals and arrange many things. It has been almost two years since the www.biquge.info came to Liaodong, and now all parts of Liaodong have entered a period of rapid development, so Huo Yu plans to follow the caravan to the counties in the south of Liaodong to take a look.
Two days later, Huo Yu, who was ready, took the four ladies and Dian Wei, the personal bodyguard, and under the leadership of his second uncle Mi Fang, followed the Mi family caravan out of the south gate of Xiangping. And behind this caravan, Liao Hua followed far away with a thousand flying feathers.
Soon after the caravan left Xiangping, two men and one woman joined the group. Seeing Zhao Yu, the girl, squeezing into the carriage, Huo Yu's originally calculated Spring and Autumn dream was shattered.
"Brother Po, don't you think it's too crowded in the carriage?" Zhao Yu blinked at Huo Yu and said.
"Little sister, are you sure that this carriage is too crowded?" Huo Yu asked deliberately.
"Humph! Light rain is sure and sure! Zhao Yu replied without showing weakness. Then he added: "Xiaoyu is really sure, really, really sure, Brother Poyu, you are lying alone in the middle and occupying so much space, an adult and a man are embarrassed?" ”
"Uh...... Count you ruthless! Huo Yudouzui was defeated, so he could only get out of the carriage and ride the war horse in disappointment.
"Senior brother, my little sister has been spoiled by you!" Seeing Huo Yu on the war horse, Zhao Yun didn't have to think about it to know that it was Zhao Yu who did a good job, so he stepped forward and said.
"Alas, the heavens are evil, and it is still against them; You will not live! Senior brother, I now understand the hardships of filial piety. Huo Yu looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Childe, don't pull me in, Yu'er has nothing to do with me!" Guo Jia suddenly said loudly.
"It really doesn't matter?" Zhao Yun asked deliberately.
"It's okay!" Guo Jia replied firmly.
"Senior brother, since it doesn't matter, let's find a good family for Yu'er!"
"The eldest brother is the father, and the cloud listens to the senior brother!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia provocatively.
"Childe, can you discuss something? Fang is still unmarried, ....." Mi Fang suddenly interjected, but was interrupted by Guo Jia before she could finish speaking.
"Childe, I'm in a hurry to force Jia Ke to elope with Yu'er!"
"Hahahaha," everyone burst into laughter. Several big men spoke in loud voices, and everyone in the carriage listened to it really, but Zhao Yu was blushing and lowering his head at this time, not knowing what to do. Since he met Guo Jia, Zhao Yu has one more target for bullying, and after coming and going, the two have feelings for each other.
"Xiao Yu'er will blush too?" Zhang Ning said.
"You will bully me, and I will let Brother Po bully you at night!" Zhao Yu said casually.
After finishing speaking, the atmosphere in the car froze for a while, and then Cai Yan and the others laughed loudly and pulled Zhao Yu to frolic for a while
。 Hearing the laughter in the car, Huo Yu turned around and smiled without saying a word. This southern tour is to take everyone out to have fun, relax and relax, and I don't know when we will have this opportunity again next time.
The caravan traveled all the way, and due to the presence of Zhao Yu, there was constant laughter and laughter during the period. The people of the Mi family caravan saw that their young lady was busy waiting, and they didn't need to say much to know how sacred this group of people was. This walk is full of energy, and I am afraid that I will lose face to the huge Mi family.
Nowadays, some roads in eastern Liaodong have been built, especially near Xiangping City, which are flat and extend in all directions. The purpose of this caravan was the southernmost province of Liaodong. As a descendant, Huo Yu knew in his heart that the Yu family was located by the sea and was a natural harbor, and he already had his own plans in his heart. Moreover, the opposite side of the Yu clan is Donglai in Qingzhou, and many people who have taken refuge have set foot on the territory of Liaodong from here.
And what Huo Yu was most concerned about was whether he could find the person he had been searching for. Since the establishment of the Dark Feather Guard, Huo Yu has given many orders to find him, but there has been no news, and for a period of time, Huo Yu even wondered if history had changed dramatically.
When the caravan arrived in Pingguo, the excitement on everyone's faces had long since faded, and was replaced by a look of exhaustion, so Huo Yu decided to rest in Pingguo for a few days before heading south to the Yushi. Along the way, Xinchang, Anshi, and Wenxian are all thriving scenes, but Pingguo City is obviously not as good as the previous three counties. Although the edict of Taishoufu has already begun to be implemented, it is indeed a scene of depression.
After a few days in Pingguo, Huo Yu didn't find any problems with the local officials, so he headed towards the destination of this time.
After nearly half a month of trekking, the caravan finally arrived at the Yushi. As soon as he arrived, Huo Yu arranged for people to go to the port-Lujin to inquire about the ship's situation. At this time, the sea route was not taken seriously, which should also be due to the limitation of navigation technology. However, Huo Yu remembered that later historical records recorded that Yushi County was a land and water transfer station between the Wu State in Jiangnan and the Gongsun Yuan regime in Liaodong during the Three Kingdoms period, when envoys exchanged ministers and military operations.
This shows that at that time, the sea transportation of Soochow was already able to be carried out in the coastal areas, but in the few days after arriving at the Yushi, although many people who had taken refuge in the east, there were almost no merchant ships. Due to the rudimentary nature of ships and other means of transportation and the backwardness of navigation technology, the eastward crossing from the coast of Qingzhou must rely on the drifting of the left-handed return and follow the coast, so as to obtain food and fresh water supplies at any time. Such a method of navigation is indeed not conducive to the flow of goods.
On the beach by the sea, Huo Yu watched Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, Zhang Ning, Yu'er, Zhao Yu and others frolicking, and he was never happy to go by himself. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, now there are no fishermen in this pile, to say that the three counties close to Xiangping City are developed by relying on geographical advantages, then this Yushi and Pingguo must think of their own way out.
"Lord, what's the matter?" Stunned, Guo Jia suddenly stepped forward and asked.
"Fengxiao, do you know what is in this sea?" Huo Yu pointed to the sea in front of him and said.
"I don't know, please make it clear!"
"It's time to build a troll!" Huo Yu muttered.
"Trolls?" Huo Yu's preface did not match the afterword, which made Guo Jia's brain short-circuit for a while.
"There will be everything! Do you remember what Luo Yangyu said that day? ”
"The lord is talking about shipping?"
"Yes, it's sea freight."
On this day and night, Huo Yu summoned Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Mi Fang to talk about shipping together. Mi Fang is worthy of being born in a merchant family, Huo Yu's few short words let Mi Fang see the benefits of shipping, but the Mi family is not good at this at all.
"Second uncle, the road has to be taken step by step, now the most lacking thing in Liaodong is craftsmen, after returning to Xiangping this time, it is necessary to recruit shipwrights from all over the coast to send them to Liaodong. Only when a ship is built suitable for sea navigation can the sea be opened, but all this requires the risk of life. In addition, I also have a method for making sea salt, but this method can only be used in Liaodong. Huo Yu said.
