Jia Xu said the words "Shiyi's long skills to improve himself", and Cao Cao's brain buzzed, as if a new avenue was showing in front of his eyes.

But more people scoffed, because they didn't know what Chenhe District was like now, and they couldn't imagine the scene Jia Xu said.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered Guo Jia, among these people, Guo Jia had stayed in Chenhe City.

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao looking at him, and also stood up and said: "Jia has been in Chenhe City for several months, and what Wenhe has seen and heard is no different from what Jia Zhi has seen. But Jia is not like Wenhe, he has traveled to many regions in Huainan, and Jia has only traveled in Chenhe City for two months. Jia only said one thing, in the twelfth year of Yongyuan, the population of the capital Luoyang was 510,000, which was the largest population of the capital since Guangwu, but when Jia left Chenhe City, the population of Chenhe City reached 860,000. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he saluted and sat down.

Guo Jia did not put forward opinions, only put out the facts.

Cao Cao was shocked again, the population of Xudu was less than 200,000 at this time, and five Xudu only arrived at one Chenhe City.

Population does not represent the full strength, but it represents the majority of strength and most of the potential.

Xun Yu stood up at this time and said: "Wen He said, but I also heard some businessmen say, Yu thought before, this is a legend of the businessman, not true, today I heard Wen He and Feng Xiao say so, it is indeed time to investigate, if you can, you can send some spies to Huainan to explore." ”

Cao Cao definitely didn't think that Jia Xu and Guo Jia were alarmist, and after listening to Xun Yu's opinion, he immediately ordered to collect real data.

Jia Xu's return did not have any impact on the progress of Cao Cao's expedition against Yuan Shang, but in this, there was an episode, the next day, Cao Cao ordered Jia Xu, Xu You, and Guo Jia to form an investigation team, and sent some officials and scholars to Huainan for data investigation, but this matter could be completed in at least three or four months.

Besides, seven days have passed, and Yang Xi officially summoned Lu Su.

Lu Su entered Yang Xi's office with apprehension, but Yang Xi was a little excited, this is the famous boss of the Three Kingdoms.

Seeing Lu Su for the first time, Yang Xi found that Lu Su was definitely not as weak as he said in the romance, although his height was only about 1.75 meters, he was very strong, with a resolute appearance and clear water chestnuts, and he belonged to the standard handsome guy.

Swept again, 12% of the innate brain and 94% of the body's functions.

When Lu Su looked at Yang Xi, he only felt that what was presented in front of him was an insurmountable mountain, which estimated that Yang Xi's rumors played a role.

That's what the image of a great man is.

"Dongcheng Lusu, I've met President Yang!" A native of Lusu Jiujiang Dongcheng, he has the characteristics of being polite and polite.

Yang Xi said: "Zi Jing, please sit down, but you don't have to be polite here, I'm a very casual person, let's just talk about anything, no pressure." ”

Yang Xi is not right, forcibly asking for other people's territory, and asking others not to have pressure and not to bully people like this.

Of course, Lu Su didn't dare to understand, sat down on the sofa opposite Yang Xi, and straightened his clothes.

"President Yang sent a letter, my father-in-law read it, and some of them didn't understand it, and asked President Yang to give some specific explanations."

"Haha, this is needed, what does Zijing think, just ask, just mention, but this doesn't need to beat around the bush."

"Good! President Yang was cheerful, and Su said the truth. That Zhu Yazhou was occupied by my lord himself, but it was not within the scope of my Han before, and even the name of Zhu Yazhou was given by my lord, but I don't know in what name President Yang forcibly demanded this island? ”

"Oh, I don't know about this matter, this Zhuyazhou is actually not called Zhuyazhou, but called Nanhai Island, this island more than ten years ago, my Chenhe fleet, has landed, and there was a detection team on it at that time, surveying the terrain, drawing a detailed map, please see. This island was named Nanhai Island more than 10 years ago, and this map was surveyed more than 10 years ago. ”

When Lu Su looked at it, what Yang Xi took out was really a map of Zhuyazhou, and the mountains and rivers were clearly marked, and it was definitely not a day's work.

Lu Su's heart suddenly, but Yang Xi said: "Of course, there was no garrison in my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce on this island at that time, but you later took this island and made meritorious contributions to civilization, but I will also give you some compensation." In this case, how about I compensate you 100,000 kilograms of coarse salt, one railway track from east to west, and 200 rail trains, and 20 locomotives? ”

Yang Xi made this condition, but he didn't startle Lu Su.

They don't have advanced steelmaking technology, the rail train is simply a fantasy, the value of the rail train, of course Lu Su knows, if Jiaozhou has a track from east to west, the transportation of troops will arrive in one day, this is too terrifying, for Jiaozhou, it is simply priceless.

100,000 kilograms of coarse salt, almost 3,300 stones, Jiaozhou's annual financial revenue, absolutely only one-third of this amount.

"Yang, are you sure President Yang is not wrong in the numbers?" Lu Su thought he had heard a mistake.

"That's right, that's the number, for my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, these are really not a big deal, I know that the current population of your Jiaozhou is one million and one million, excluding the population of Nanhai Island, there are about nine hundred and thirty forty thousand, and the value of coarse salt alone is enough for your income for several years. In addition, with the railroad train, your economic development speed should be much faster, even if you exchange it for a South China Sea Island, your father-in-law is willing. ”

"However, the rail train, our Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for producing materials and technology, and the workers are organized by yourself, but the ugly words are ahead, if there is any exploitation of migrant workers, I will immediately terminate the plan, and maybe I will raise troops to seek justice for migrant workers."

Lu Su nodded again and again: "There will be no mistakes in this matter, President Yang can rest assured that the construction of the railway track will be supervised by Su himself, and there will be no ambiguity." ”

As soon as Lu Su left, Yang Xi didn't smile anymore.

This construction of the railroad track is not built for itself, and in a few years, Jiaozhou will be in the pocket of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. As for coarse salt, for the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be too simple.

With the rails, Jiaozhou's economy must be infiltrated by itself, and its own goods can simply fly in Jiaozhou.

At that time, the coconut industry on Nanhai Island will be the first to penetrate, and it will be Jiaozhou.

In July 204, the construction of Jiaozhou railway tracks began.

At the same time, the South Asian subcontinent, the estuary of the Ganges River, the Bay of Bengal, the city of Kolkata, and the port of Kolkata and the dockyard were built at the same time. In later generations, the Ganges River was called the Pajilti River in Bengal, but Amir removed this name and the whole river was called the Ganges.

Since this year, the Amir Empire has defeated the Kushan Empire, unified the South Asian subcontinent, and begun various infrastructure construction. Because the Amir Empire was an absolute dictatorship, there was no resistance to the construction of the Amir Empire.

In December, Ji Ling sent back the news that the construction of the information base had been completed, and the news of the completion of the port of Calcutta had been heard, and that there were now 20 ships under construction, all of which were giant ships, comparable to the giant ships of the Yangtze River, and each giant ship was equipped with 20 gun holes, which was expected to be completed by June next year.

Seeing this news, Yang Xi was taken aback.

Yang Xi judged that the Strait of Malacca was a battleground for soldiers, and this Amir must have gone to Malacca, and at this moment he had not built a ship, and he did not know that he had occupied this place, but once he knew, it was a steady stream of threats of force.

The South Asian subcontinent is the world's most abundant mineral resources, and Amir now occupies the whole of India, and even extends to Central Asia, this empire has brought unprecedented pressure to Yang Xi.

But Yang Xi is confident that although Amir has a population of seven or eight million, over the years, he has been reckless in his army and determined to fight, where there will be many food reserves.

What is the war is fighting, it is the money. In the era of cold weapons, what was fought was food, and Yang Xi only needed to drag Amir to the current stage, so that it would not develop too fast, and it would be a victory.

In terms of money, Yang Xi feels that he is the second in the world.

There are no firsts.

Yang Xi's first order to Ji Ling was: to blow up the Calcutta dockyard and destroy the ships it was producing at all costs.
