He thought that the raw materials and those minerals would be enough to meet the demand, but in fact, Liu Zhang ignored the most critical issue. No one does these things, the raw materials need to be collected, the ingredients need to be made, the raw materials need to be recycled, and the raw materials need to be transported and sold. In other words, although Liu Zhang's territory has a large population, in fact, Liu Zhang is still extremely lacking in people. There are many places on this land that have not been developed, so many people are there for Liu Zhang to squander?

Liu Zhang didn't have a few days in Panyu, and Zhou Yu came back from outside. At the same time, the warship was full of prisoners, and it could be seen that this ship was really a good harvest. Speaking of so many people on the boat, eating every day is a problem, and it can only be said that boiling water to boil noodles is simple and practical.

It was the first time I saw so many captives disembarking from the ship, and they all looked so ragged and worried. Liu Zhang stood below, followed by Lu Su. During this period of time, because of the arrival of Liu Zhang, more and more workshops were built here. It's a pity that the population of the Han people is still too small, but Liu Zhang finally feels the feeling of a first-class Han people......

"Your Majesty, this time I brought back 50,000 natives, and there are many more on the islands over there. The people there can communicate, but they are also wild and difficult to train. "When Zhou Yu landed for the first time, he naturally killed a lot of natives. Those people are no different from monkeys in Zhou Yu's eyes, and they will definitely not treat them as human beings because they look like people.

After killing many "monkeys", Zhou Yu communicated with them even with guesses. Naturally, food was exchanged for a large number of women, and women were vulnerable in that group. But Zhou Yu needs ah, a lot of work on the beach needs to be meticulous to do well. Women are very suitable, and they only pay a small amount of food. And so the unlimited capture of the population, as well as the activities of women, began.

Even the natives have their own social model, and once they are caught, they will admit it. This allowed Zhou Yu to bring back many women, accounting for more than two-thirds. It's also a good thing that there are so many women, and the Japanese people are paired with the Tu people and then learn the Han culture. It looks so beautiful, and as for the women of the Japanese Kou, it is left to the Han people, and they can't help nodding their heads frequently......

Zhou Yu's face was a little dark, and Liu Zhang seemed to be distracted. He had heard that Liu Zhang was easy to get distracted before, but he had no face in this way. After a long time, Liu Zhang came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Yu's embarrassed appearance and said, "How many people are there on the island of Malaysia?" The natives there should be people who go to the Wako country or the small countries in the surrounding seas. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "There are a lot of people mixed there, but there are a lot of people who can communicate, and I will bring them all back." As for those who cannot communicate, how can Your Majesty behave? ”

It's not that the natives are not intellectually insufficient, in fact, there are still ways to communicate. As long as it's not particularly ferocious, there's a way to do it. For example, take a common ingredient and then show yourself something like meat that you're giving them. Then their intelligence can definitely understand this meaning, and it can be domesticated a little later. It's just that Zhou Yu doesn't have this time, and he needs some people to do these things slowly.

As they spoke, the natives were driven to the beach by the soldiers to take a bath. This layer of dirt is simply watching, after washing in the sea, it is being washed with fresh water, in short, Liu Zhang's head hurts when he sees it. As the men were slammed to the side, then a soldier took scissors and cut the long hair short. The women's ones kept some, and the men's ones were directly made bald......

Liu Zhang likes to see it, anyway, these natives have no culture, and they are not averse to haircuts. This also avoids the occurrence of any diseases, and cleanly starts anew. I'm afraid that these tens of thousands of people will have to be cleaned up in two days, and then there will be special people to take these people to do things......

Those with strong adaptability can quickly integrate, and those with weak adaptability are estimated to be bullied. Liu Zhang can only promise that he will not die if he does not make mistakes, but it does not mean that he will not be bullied. But what does all this have to do with Liu Zhang? As long as there are people who build roads, as long as there are people who work, everything else doesn't matter.

With more than ten years of living here, Liu Zhang's mind has also faded a lot. From the beginning of the unbearable to the current habitual, to the end of the indifference. As long as it's not your own side that people die, don't care if others die or live?

"Your Majesty still has a lot of natives, do you still need to bring some back?" With so many people joining, I'm afraid it will take a while to be stable.

Liu Zhang walked down the steps and said, "Continue to bring it back and send it to Shanghai, and don't stop the training in Wakou Prefecture." In the second half of the year, you will take some goods to Rome and take half of them. Send messengers to make deals, and if they are not friendly, we will fight them. If we are friendly, we will try to do business and find out the news slowly. "It's a bit difficult to occupy the estimate, but a little erosion is still possible. Maybe in the future, we can leave the seeds of the Han people there? As for India, it would be good to hand it over to Lu Meng, and Zhou Yu would be in charge of the lion's head.

Zhou Yu was a little excited, Liu Zhang had described the development and strength of Rome, and now it was finally his turn to test that country? As for what Liu Zhang described in India, Zhou Yu felt that it was just a weak nation, and it was not enough to be called strong at all. Men are belligerent, especially Zhou Yu. If you can't achieve the hegemony of the king, then you can expand the territory frantically.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "The nearby countries are almost finished, and trade must also begin." We can go to buy people, and we can go to trade. Why do you keep so much gold and silver? If you can't have children, it's best to spend them early. "Rome is rich, this robber-like empire, Liu Zhang feels that he can take care of them.

Zhou Yu rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you directly prepare a batch of goods to explore the way after the last general transports the next batch of natives?" Zhou Yu's heart is itchy, and he feels a little lonely when he is invincible. When Liu Zhang cleaned them up, it was estimated that they were so invincible.

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "You discuss this matter with Zijing, he is your logistical guarantee." You decide when you want to send troops, and I don't want to hear about the defeat anyway. "Greece in ancient times will already use oil burning at sea as a tactic, I don't know if the Roman Empire will do this, I remember that Liu Zhang saw these news in the wild news of later generations. My wooden boat is still quite scared, if it really burns down, a boatload of people will die.

Of course, Liu Zhang only knows such a little thing, and no matter how much Liu Zhang does, he doesn't know. Anyway, it was also an empire in its twilight years, which was similar to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the last years, the Eastern Han Dynasty was able to deal with the surrounding areas because the ability of the princes was too strong, and the central government had long lost its control power. The Roman Empire in this period could not be compared with the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty died because the princes were too strong, and the Son of Heaven lost power and civil strife.

However, Rome was corrupt from above, and the people of the lower classes could not survive, and the foreign conquests continued to end in the last blow. Then the people's uprising collapsed from within, and it can be said that there was no deterrent to the outside world at all. This is different from the Great Han, even if the Great Han is not able to fall, it is still perfectly suppressed for the surrounding aliens. This is what later generations said, only these two dynasties were strong and destroyed the country.

The transported captives were trained for half a month before they were put into use, and the men went to work as coolies and the women did the repetitive labor. Just a simple meal seemed to suppress the initial panic. These natives came to Dahan with a sense of panic, and it was just a delicious meal to appease them?

Because Liu Zhang's patrol frequency and stability in this *** Yu are very high. With Zhou Yu at the end of the war, the whole Panyu became busy. Need merchandisers *** such as perfect luxury goods to sell, some delicate porcelain and small objects, and even perfumes and sachets and the like.

The goods brought with it accounted for one-third of the merchant ships, and the rest was ordnance and food, and ten large ships set sail on the expedition. Liu Zhang looks down on India, and the poor ghost country is like chicken ribs. If you want to say that they don't have the resources, that's absolutely impossible. Compared to the rich Rome, it is really far worse.

Seeing Zhou Yu set sail, Lu Su was a little panicked: "The lord is going to go for a long time this time, right?" I'm afraid it will take a few months to get to Rome, right? "Liu Zhang drew a map for Zhou Yu with high-grade fur, and there is also a map here in Lusu. After reading it, Lu Su was really panicked, there are many small countries along the way, and he doesn't know if someone gets it there. Despite the existence of the telegraph, it took time. When the people are gone, what is the use of the telegraph? Not to mention, it's too far, right?

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "It's going to be fine, you can also use trees to make short crossbows without ammunition along the way." Liu Zhang was not worried, after all, the enemy's weapons were not of the same level as them. Besides, Rome has fallen, and Liu Zhang is not afraid.

Lu Su sighed, this step is a bit far, fortunately, it is just a trade, not a real war. If it's a battle, I'm afraid that if it's such a long distance, I can only suffer a dumb loss. Of course, this is just Lu Su's worry, in fact, Liu Zhang is not afraid. No one understands the power of firearms better than him, and the guns and earthen cannons and explosives packs are the most powerful weapons of this era.

In the eyes of the ancients, war was not something to be avoided, and if a war could be won, no one was afraid of war, even if it was a defeated battle. The people of this country are really belligerent. The Central Plains region got the news a little late, and Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Zheng Du and others immediately sent telegrams. Originally, I thought it was to say that Liu Zhang had no discussion about the war, but it seemed that Liu Zhang looked at it and found that the situation was wrong, this is to ask for a warship?

There is no shortage of people in the border areas, but the Central Plains is indeed really short of people, and Liu Zhang has no intention of sending people inland several times in a row. This made Fa Zheng and Zhang Song very unhappy, why are others engaged in development, looking at Panyu and Shanghai day by day, doesn't this mean that this group of people in the Central Plains is incompetent? Everyone is an important minister, and this point naturally needs to be fought for.
