Yanzhou Thorn Mansion, Zhang Fan lazily got up from the bed, opened his sleepy eyes, covered the quilt for the sleeping Lu Lingqi, and crept up slowly......

The morning dew on the leaves, the water was bright and crystal clear, and there were bursts of birdsong outside the window. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Fan stretched his waist and was refreshed, the maid waited for him to finish freshening up, and he came to the backyard to practice the halberd method......

He used to think that practicing martial arts was a particularly hard thing, but since defeating Lu Bu at Bishui Pass, Zhang Fan gradually discovered the true charm of martial arts, and his daily morning exercise gradually became a habit, and he was exhausted if he didn't practice for a day.

After the morning exercise, Zhang Fan, who had finished bathing and changing, began to enjoy breakfast, and then the personal guard reported:

"General, Lord Gongsun is back, and I ask to see you outside the door."

Zhang Fan took a sip of water and said, "You take him to the study and wait, and I will come to the ...... later."

Zhang Fan hurriedly finished breakfast in three or two and came to the study, Gongsun Jing, who had just returned from Chang'an, was already waiting here, and hurriedly saluted when he saw Zhang Fan come in.

Zhang Fan smiled: "Ziyu, is this trip going well?" ”

Gongsun Jing said excitedly: "Back to the lord, everything is going well." Li Ru has already arranged ......"

Zhang Fan bowed slightly, "That's good, then I'm relieved." ”

Historically, the Maritime Silk Road really took shape and began to develop in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, he broadened the scale of maritime trade by sea routes, and the "Maritime Silk Road" arose at this time.

Sails were already used in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Chinese merchants arrived in Guangzhou by sea to trade, transporting silk and porcelain to India via Malacca via Sumatra, and purchasing spices and dyes to return to China......

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were in a critical period of the Maritime Silk Road's transition from land to sea. Due to the needs of Sun Wu, Cao Wei, and Liu Shu to fight on the Yangtze River and to communicate at sea, they actively developed the naval army, and great progress was made in the design and manufacture of ships, and the technology was advanced and the scale was also very large.

According to the literature research, Sun Wu shipbuilding industry is particularly developed, at that time Sun Wu shipbuilding industry has reached the international leading level, Sun Wu built ships, mainly for warships, followed by merchant ships, large quantity, large hull, high quality keel structure. This has played a positive role in promoting the development of trade and transportation and the further formation of the Maritime Silk Road.

At the same time, Sun Wu's silk weaving industry has far exceeded the level and scale of the Han Dynasty, and he founded the government-run silk weaving, and has its own unique innovation and development. This has also greatly promoted and promoted the development of China's silk industry. It has the subjective and objective conditions for going to sea and sailing, thus forming the East China Sea Silk Road.

……

At this time, Zhang Fan replaced Sun Wu's position and dominated Jiangdong. In the past, the main factor restricting the development of the maritime industry was shipbuilding technology, but this was not a problem for Zhang Fan at all. Because he is backed by a huge and complex knowledge base of modern times, for him, the technology of this era is unshackled......

In fact, as early as Zhang Fan's tenure in Huanglongzhai, he has begun to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the research and development of new sea vessels; After Zhang Fan became the Huiji Taishou, with the help of the resources of the government, Zhang Fan began to integrate the shipbuilders in the territory, provide them with financial and technical support, and intensively build sea ships......

After more than two years of development and construction, it can fully adapt to the harsh environment at sea, and the giant building ships, warships, and Fu ships with both offensive and defensive capabilities have been successfully developed and put into use......

Zhang Fan has invested a considerable proportion of the economy in the area of navigation and shipbuilding, mainly because of the unlimited potential of this piece.

In the final analysis, fighting a war is still a matter of logistics. As the saying goes, when a gun goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. So where does military spending come from?

If you want to say that what kind of work is the most rewarding, in addition to robbery, I am afraid it should be smuggling.

Zhang Fan didn't want to condone his subordinates to plunder everywhere and make himself infamous and notorious...... Therefore, the second option can only be chosen - foreign trade.

In the first year of Jiajing, the imperial court boycotted the city, imposed a sea ban, blockaded coastal ports, destroyed ships going to sea, and cut off sea communication to cut off the supply of Japanese pirates. All coastal officials and civilians who violate the prohibition will be punished with capital punishment according to law: beheaded, beheaded, and sent border guards to the whole family to fill the army.

However, far from being banned, the activities of smugglers have become more rampant because of the sea ban.

Why? Aren't they afraid of death?

Of course not, they are also ordinary people, and they are also afraid of being beheaded by raiders...... But smuggling can make a lot of money!

Marx said: If there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head; If there is a 300% profit, capital dares to trample on all the laws of the world.

Since even a three-year-old doll knows that foreign trade can make money, how could Zhang Fan let go of this cornucopia?

In fact, in addition to the huge economic benefits generated by foreign trade, there are four other benefits:

First, it can communicate with each other, adjust the surplus and shortage, and adjust the optimal allocation of resources; second, it can save social labor; Third, it can absorb and introduce advanced scientific and technological achievements from the contemporary world to enhance its own economic strength. Fourth, accepting the competitive pressure and challenges of the international market can promote domestic enterprises to continuously update their technology and improve labor productivity and the internationalization level of products.

But for Zhang Fan, there is a fifth benefit: it will help to expand abroad in the future and carry out overseas colonial aggression.

……

"Lord-" Gongsun Jing's words pulled Zhang Fan back from his beautiful vision for the future.

"Oh...... You go on to say. ”

"No." Gongsun Jing continued:

"Now that the news of the death of the Son of Heaven has spread, Chang'an City is in chaos, Li Dao and Guo Yan have their own words, and they insist that it was the other party who instigated Li Rujiu to kill Emperor Xian, and now the two sides are fighting inseparably, completely fighting with their lives, and they are in an endless posture of death......"

"Wonderful!" Zhang Fan stroked his palms and smiled, "It's a good fight!" Both of them are not good things anyway, dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair. We must also help them continue to fan the flames, and we must make the people of the world firmly believe that the emperor was killed by one of the two of them......"

Gongsun Jingying said: "No, my subordinates understand. ”

Zhang Fan pondered and said: "In addition, you issued a notice in my name, ordering Li Dao to immediately hand over the body of Emperor Xian, and I will personally preside over the funeral and bury him in Beibi Mountain." ”

"No, get the order." Gongsun Jing hesitated:

"But Li Wei may not be willing to agree......"

"Does he dare to say yes?" Zhang Fan sneered and said sharply:

"Publish the text. From now on, I will personally raise the army, conquer Li Dao, and avenge Emperor Xian......"

Gongsun Jing stubbornly said: "Lord, dare to say a word." At present, the relocation is at an urgent juncture, and the consumption of grain and grass is very large, and there is really no strength left to launch a crusade at this time......"

Zhang Fan smiled slightly, "Of course I know, but shouting slogans must be righteous and correct to show our attitude...... Let the two mad dogs of Li and Guo Yan bite for a while first, and when they bite and lose, I will come out again to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and gain fame and fortune without much effort. ”

Gongsun Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sneer:

"The lord is wise."

Zhang Fan glanced at him, waved his hand and said:

"Alright, let's do it!"

"No." Gongsun Jing saluted and retired...... (To be continued.) )
