Chapter 140: Shanghai
"Lord, why do you want to go back to Danyang at this time?"
Yuan Yao suddenly announced that he was going to return to Danyang temporarily, which made Liu Ye, who had just come to Lujiang for a few days, inexplicable!
"Ziyang, do you remember what I promised you when I recruited you?" Yuan Yao asked with a smile.
Liu Ye was slightly stunned, but immediately his eyes lit up and said, "The lord said that Zhancheng rice?" β
"Hehe, exactly!" Yuan Yao continued with a smile, "But I won't show it to you right away, but I'm going to find a coastal port near Dantu or Qu'a, and then build a new type of sea ship."
These boats are all sail-powered and no longer require oarsmen, so they can sail at sea for months on end, so that they can reach Indochina by sea from Koto.
In this way, Ziyang, you don't have to wait two years to see Champa rice, hehe......"
The main reason why Yuan Yao put aside Chen Heng's surrender, and even the entire Jingzhou Navy was temporarily left behind by him, and suddenly put down the Navy and turned back to Danyang, was that the "Compass" technology of the system technology tree was finally completed in 5 days!
He has to prepare the clones, find a suitable coast, and build the port of "Shanghai" at the moment when the "Compass" is completed, and then build sailing ships and go to sea to find treasures......
Yuan Yao has been waiting for this matter for half a year, and his position in his heart may even be more important than that of the entire Jiangdong, because Zhancheng rice involves the second food revolution, and at least it can help Yuan Yao solve the food problem; To put it bigger, it is a necessary factor for the population of Chinese civilization to exceed 100 million!
Therefore, Yuan Yao did not hesitate to take this matter as a top priority, and all other things were put in the back row, and now he happened to be in a stalemate with the Jingzhou Water Army, so he could find time to do this.
It's just that poor Kuai Yue is still waiting for Yuan Yaozhong's plan wholeheartedly, but he doesn't know that he has been regarded as an unimportant thing by others, and if he knew about it, he would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood angrily......
"Then the subordinate will go with the lord!" When Liu Ye heard that it was about Zhancheng Dao, he immediately got carried away with excitement and asked for his life.
Yuan Yao smiled bitterly: "Who will carry out the plan to recruit Chen Heng when you leave!" Sun Lu's ten battleships have not been finished for almost two months, and I ask him to speed up the progress, so this matter can only be prepared by you. β
Liu Ye replied when he heard this: "The lord still wants to recruit Chen Heng? β
Yuan Yao nodded and said: "I plan to push this matter back, and wait for Tai Shi Ci to defeat Zhen Rong before recruiting him, I will definitely be back at that time, and then I can fight Cai Mao with Tai Shi Ci by land and water, so that the victory rate will be greater, maybe I can eliminate the Jingzhou Navy at one time and solve the trouble!" β
Liu Ye nodded solemnly and said, "Since the lord has made a decision, then his subordinates will stay and prepare for this matter." β
Yuan Yao nodded and smiled: "Okay, if Ziyang is here, I'll rest assured!" β
β¦β¦
After arranging the affairs of Lujiang, Yuan Yao led Chen Wu and LΓΌ Meng to drive 10 three-oared warships to Moling.
Yuan Yao was going to sail to the sea this time, so compared to other warships, the three-oared warship was more suitable for a warship that had been tested in the Mediterranean.
Some people say that the Mediterranean Sea is calm, but that is for the waters of the "sea" level, compared to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea is indeed very docile, but compared with the Yangtze River, it is not the same thing, after all, the two are not the same order of magnitude.
Therefore, compared with the Louchuan series of warships that have been rampant in the inland river, Yuan Yao chose the three-oar warship very rationally, and it is also the fastest, the distance from the Lujiang River to the sea is not close, and it will take several days to go back and forth by water.
It's just that this guy has a limited number of people, so Yuan Yao brought all 10 ships out, because he was going to Moling to pick up 300 clones to build a harbor, and he also had to add the oarsmen and Xuanjia guards on the ship itself, so the 10 ships were very crowded.
Lu Meng will always follow Yuan Yao in the future, in addition to learning resources, the most important thing is to let him increase his knowledge, after all, Lu Meng in history has reached a certain status and has enough knowledge and needs to understand where he is wrong, and then he starts to learn.
Lu Meng is not the kind of genius who knows why he studies since he was a child, but a representative figure in history who can make up for his shortcomings. So for him, seeing is more important than knowledge. Otherwise, just give him a bunch of books, and he won't find the motivation to learn.
In his current thinking logic, to avenge his brother-in-law, he should pick up a sword, not a book.
Therefore, if Yuan Yao wants to cultivate the "Third Governor", he has to put more effort into it.
He brought Chen Wu because in the next water battle, Yuan Yao hoped that he could lead the strange soldier of the three-oar warship, so he had to follow the ship......
Yuan Yao's current territory has 20 county seats, including 16 counties in Danyang County; After Wu County was taken by Sun Ce to Dantu and Qu'a, he recently took control of Biling County; Yuzhang, who had just returned to Shun, was too guarded by Huaxin and offered Nanchang County, and the remaining 13 counties nominally under his management had not yet expressed his position, hoping to pass on the decision, otherwise he would have to use force.
So now Yuan Yao can recruit 20 clones a day, and if the 13 counties of Yuzhang can be peacefully surrendered recently, it will rise to 33 people a day.
Yuan Yao now has a total of 2,202 clones, including 500 people in Jingxian Paper Mill; Mint 100 people. There are 1,000 people who built a academy in Muling; 300 people in the armory; Originally, there were only 8 people who built the barracks and the knight academy, but in the past half a month, it has risen to 302 people.
Yuan Yao went to Moling this time to take out 300 of these 302 people and take them away, but unfortunately the military camp that has not yet been built has no one to build it, and the Knight Academy is only used to occupy a position now.
Yuan Yao set out from the Lujiang River and arrived at Moling in one day, and then had to rest for the night, because the night was not suitable for sailing in this era.
Early the next morning, he set off with another 300 clones, rushed to Dantu as fast as he could, before dark, and then immediately ordered the two county magistrates of Dantu and Qu'a to start preparing building materials and shipbuilding materials for backup.
On the third day, he got up early in the morning, and Yuan Yao led the people and drove the boat to the magnificent sea......
"Ahh It's beautiful!! β
This is the first time Yuan Yao has seen the sea in the Three Kingdoms, so he can't help but be excited!
Watching a red sun rise in the waves, the entire sea shimmered with beautiful light, as if there were countless soldiers in front of you, covering the boundless battlefield, and holding bright and reflective swords in their hands!
Now he wants to recite Cao Cao's "Watching the Sea" to express the emotions in his heart, but unfortunately, he can't remember anything other than the three words "Watching the Sea......
