Chapter 6, Thoughts on Navigation

Murong Yu finally left with a smile, although he didn't drink, but he was like he was drunk, staggering and overjoyed, if it wasn't for looking at him as normal, Zu Zhao really didn't dare to let this thing go, for fear that he would suddenly lose his mind and go crazy because he was too happy.

Sending Murong Yu away, Zu Zhao set his sights on how to make horse armor, to be precise, Zu Zhao was thinking about how to make a batch of war horses into a powerful heavy cavalry battle armor like a kidnapping horse.

The abducted horse is also called the Tiefutu abducted horse, but all the horses have a vest to protect themselves, and there are two sharp spears in front of the war horse, under the heavy collision of the war horse, the war horse uses the power of the collision to penetrate the soldiers in front of him with a spear, and the iron Futu abducted horse, that is, the people and horses are wearing heavy armor, fearless of the opponent's sword, and sweeps everything wherever they go. In later generations, the abducted horses with golden vulture skills were once invincible.

What Zu Zhao has to do now is to hand over all the armor of the Iron Floating Horse to the blacksmith with the drawings that he is satisfied with, and then the blacksmith door will make a mold to start a new round of war preparations.

Now Liaodong County has poured nearly 100,000 displaced people, and there is a steady stream of displaced people on Liaodong County, especially the displaced people in Shandong Province, these Shandong men with children and wives come thousands of miles away, just to eat a full meal, drink a bowl of hot porridge, as long as the wife and children can live, any work can be done, Zu Zhao has met three waves of such Shandong men on the road, don't reward because we are all right hands and feet, I have to work, I don't take other people's things in vain, I'll be happy if I take someone else's stuff.

Zu Ping nodded from the sidelines, first of all, this wave of Shandong men was snatched away, people are honest and reliable, where to find such a good person, worthy of being a person from the hometown of Confucius and Mencius.

Zu Zhao smiled, there were already a lot of these homeless people, but when he saw the Shandong people coming here, he waved his hand and pulled these Shandong men directly into the army.

How did Cao Cao get up, because in Qingzhou, Shandong, a million Shandong men were co-opted, and the tiger and leopard rider was established, helping him to lay down the country, Shandong people are honest and stupid, and the most relenting tiger and leopard cavalry did not come out of a general, all the credit is people's, even so is also diligent, with Cao Cao's eastern and western war, helped Cao Cao defeat a series of fierce enemies.

When the number of displaced people reached 150,000, the Dalian Bay port finally couldn't let go, Zu Zhao simply treated these people as porters, taking care of food and housing, and let them transport their cloaks, carpets, kelp, dried fish, and dried seafood products to various places to sell, with the local Qinglou of Wanshide as the destination.

Even so, it is overloaded, and the financial resources that have just emerged in Liaodong County are really unable to feed these endless streams of displaced people from other places.

Liaodong County has closed its gates and does not welcome homeless people to enter.

Xuansu County was the most affected one, because the displaced people could not enter Liaodong County, so they turned around and entered Xuanwu County, making Xuanwu County helpless.

Xuansu County is not much surplus food, there is no way to go down, or go to Zuzhao for help, hoping to think of a way.

Zu Zhao smiled and asked Xuanwu County to give these homeless people how to pick wool, let them go to the grassland to pick wool, or raise sheep on the grassland, as long as the wool is brought, Zu Zhao will give them silver or grain.

In the end, these homeless people who stayed in Xuansu County marched on the grassland, Zu Zhao sent ten catties of rice to each of these people before leaving, as an encouragement, there is no shortage of grass roots on the grassland, as long as you do not starve to death, as long as you are willing to collect wool, he will definitely give silver or grain.

Iron ore, wool textiles, and seafood, this is Zu Zhao's current economic source, but the biggest confidence is food.

In Liaodong County, Zu Zhao directly hit nearly 1,000 acres of potatoes, 1,000 acres of sweet potatoes, 1,000 acres of corn, and of course, rice, millet and other crops.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, each acre of land is 10,000 catties of output, nearly 30 million catties of grain output.

Under the seaside, the scraps of kelp have been for pigs, cattle and sheep, and the straw of grain is also for pigs, cattle and sheep, and the added value brought by grain is not small.

Moreover, potatoes and sweet potatoes are very shelf-stable and are very good hunger crops.

When the grain is produced, the local farmers are stationed all night, in order to see these almost miraculous seeds, to prevent outsiders from stealing these seeds, although it is a small farmer's thought, but Zu Zhao appreciates it very much, so it is good, he is really afraid that Cao Cao's shameless guy will come and steal the seeds, but with the desperate posture of these old farmers in front of him, it is really impossible for anyone to steal the seeds.

There are potatoes and corn in the fields, seafood in the sea, and wool spinning in the houses, this is the scene of the whole area of Liaodong County, everyone is busy, and even those who are petty thieves are affected and live their own good lives.

Zu Zhao likes this environment very much, likes to wander his territory at night, and sees these poor homeless people now become happy farmers or weavers or fishermen, which he created single-handedly, and Liaodong County has changed its appearance in less than half a year.

"There's a dragon soldier coming, dragon soldier! The dragon soldiers are eating people! When Zu Zhao was still thinking about how to govern the current Liaodong County better, there were screams on the seaside, and a group of fishermen were howling and scared.

It is said that there are dragon soldiers who eat people!

What is a dragon soldier? Zu Zhao, as a person who has crossed over in later generations, does not believe in these things, and he is also a master who is good at seducing others, and others say that he resolutely does not believe in dragon soldiers.

But when he got to the seaside, he understood why these fishermen would say that the dragon soldiers ate people, this dragon soldier is not something else, this thing is called a shark, and it swims in the Bohai Bay, and the fishermen will fish out the nearby kelp vegetables and open up a wide sea, which is naturally convenient for the fishermen to fish, but it is also convenient for these sea overlords to come here, and these sea overlords are extremely crazy about the smell of blood, once the bitten hunters flow blood, they are determined to kill the prey.

Zu Zhao shook his head, he didn't count these behemoths, with these behemoths, the fishermen of the entire Dalian Bay could only squat on the seashore and starve to death, and the idea of building Dalian Bay into a huge seaport in his heart had already suffered the first blow.

"My lord, that's a dragon soldier, a dragon soldier, we have already fought the damnation!" A fisherman stumbled up to report that the whales were still called dragon soldiers.

Zu Zhao shook his head, ignorance was really terrifying.

But he thought about it for a while, since everyone thought that this was a dragon soldier, then he might as well use everyone's stupid thoughts to guide it a little.

"Then it's good to sacrifice to the sky, worship the Jade Emperor and others, let these dragon soldiers go, if these dragon soldiers don't go, it proves that these dragon soldiers are evil, they don't obey the orders of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, we won't blame them if we kill them!" Zu Zhao spoke lightly.

A huge altar was set up, and Zu Zhao pretended to worship, but it turned out that the whales were still swimming.

"We all saw those who were not dragon soldiers, those were sea monsters, they ate our people, and we want to eat their flesh!" Zu Zhao smiled, this is a ready-made whale, and the sharks of this era have not drunk the polluted seawater and can eat it with confidence, Zu Zhao looked at the wide dorsal fin of those sharks and couldn't help sneering: You deserve to send it to the door, so it is only natural to eat your shark fins.

"The phantom cavalry has prepared for me, let Mr. Gongyi come over and build a big ship under the sea, we will hunt down these guys!"

The drawings designed by Zu Zhao are very heroic, using the drawings of later warships, but he is also a half-ass military fan, and he knows the rough production methods of warships in later generations.

Instead of taking the sampan approach, but taking the form of the most heroic front and rear collision angles, and wearing the sampan boat is not unique to the Lou Fang, Zu Zhao deeply believes that the design of the Lou Fang on the ship is simply looking for death, this kind of sampan can be in the offshore, but when it encounters a storm, the proportion of the tall Lou Fang turning over is too large.

The huge mast is topped by layers of triangular sails, which can make the greatest use of the wind, and the bow and stern are made of iron birch, which can improve the combat effectiveness of the battleship.

The drawings have been designed, and they have been snatched away by the public loser.

But then the madman-like Gong Yihong ran back to Zu Zhao to argue, because he didn't understand why it was designed to be a layer of spinnakers, and it was a cross sail, a side sail, a tail sail, and so on.

Zu Zhao explained with a smile that the most embarrassed Gong Zhihong was also confused.

What is the concept of 100,000 people making together?

In a day and a half, this huge ship had been built, and when it was built, Zu Zhao asked Gong Yuhong to make a huge bow and crossbow on the ship. And it is a huge bow with gears as a crossbow.

At the same time, there are nearly 100 shooting holes around it, which are used to shoot outside, which is to prepare for future encounters with the enemy on the water.

At the same time, there were also huge water wheels that sailors stepped on to control the left and right directions of the ship.

The boat was 100 meters wide and 10 meters wide, and the first trial voyage after launching was okay, and the first trial voyage encountered a school of sharks.

Zu Zhao looked at these sharks coldly, these sharks were not big, and they were only five or six meters in size. But eating people and fish is very ferocious, he shot the huge bow and crossbow in front of him with a thick rope siege spear, almost shooting through the tiger shark, the sharp barbs on the arrow firmly fixed the tiger shark.

With a huge ship rushing left and right, Zu Zhao was also happy to rush it, as long as it was out of the water, the strong crossbow aimed at it and shot fiercely, even if it was the overlord of the sea, it was also shot into a sieve by a burst of strong crossbows.

The last boat returned to shore with the first killer whale, the five-meter-long killer whale was towed to the shore, and numerous fishermen rushed up to tow the killer whale to shore.

Zu Zhao looked at the ship and smiled, it was called the Tiger Hunter.

When the second killer whale close to ten meters was dragged out, the fishermen had no sense of awe for the so-called "dragon soldier", because the meat of the "dragon soldier" was also good, the most important thing was that these meats had thick fat, which could be refined whale oil, and many fishermen were very happy with a spoonful of white whale oil to eat the thief's eyebrows and rats' eyes, but Zu Zhao couldn't eat such a fat existence in one bite, if he didn't look at the guys around him looking at him, he would vomit directly. Fat is not something that everyone can enjoy.

Zu Zhao never thought that wool textiles would become a special thing for the royal family, and when Sima Li, the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty (the official position in charge of royal tribute), came to Liaodong County and settled down, Zu Zhao believed it.

Sima Li has a bad reputation, I heard that there is a queen mother route, Zu Zhao doesn't know which queen mother's route Lu Dao has, thinking that the Eastern Han Dynasty is estimated to be extinct in a few years, and the queen mother route of this goods is also estimated to be finished soon, and it will be Dong Zhuo who will take the throne in the future, and the fate of this goods is estimated to be no better.

Sima Li stayed at the post station, and when Zu Zhao went to pay a visit, he happened to meet an acquaintance, Gongsun Mian.

Sima Li people look extremely obscene, a pair of bee eyes, a big nose with wine lees, and a mouth to the sky, it is really the best, such a person holds the position of Shaofu, and he is really sorry for the broad masses of the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Beside him, Gongsun Mian was talking about something, and there was a gift box beside him.

When Zu Zhao came in, he saw Gongsun Mian pushing the gift box into Sima Li's hand: "My lord, please accept it, this is a superb calligraphy and painting, painted by Li Si of the Qin Dynasty, and the most beautiful thing is that the hinge of the entire painting is made of ancient jade, the painting is good, the reel is even better, and it is definitely collectible!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at it with a very disdainful expression.

Zu Zhao was speechless, is this a comparison of financial resources with himself?

Is the current Gongsun family really richer than themselves?

An idea appeared in Zu Zhao's mind.

"Liaodong County Lord Bo has seen Lord Shaofu!" Zu Zhao stepped forward and saluted.

Sima Li said with a smile: "I heard that the Lord Bo Ke is a big god of wealth, as soon as I met, it was really rich, you see your fortune is flying!" Sima Li smiled and spoke, leading the conversation directly to the question of money.

Zu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered that it seemed that this Sima Li was really eating in all directions, and it was indispensable to eat and take cards, which was also the habit of the Celestial Empire.

"Where is it, where can it be called wealth, adults can be called wealth, you are the legitimate god of wealth, as long as you wave the pen, you have a large amount of money and wealth, this is the foundation!" Zu Zhao smiled and spoke.

Sima Li smiled, thinking that this ancestor Zhao had a delicate heart, and knew how to please himself.

Gongsun Mian was very uncomfortable: "Brother Liechen, you see I gave Master Sima Li a famous painting, I don't know why Brother Liechen didn't bring something when he came to see Lord Sima Li?" Gongsun Mian sneered and spoke.

This is a typical provocation, if it is replaced by others, it is estimated that they will be annoyed, but Sima Li is a hypothetical meaning, then the meaning is very clear, here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, I am acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how can you not honor me?

The smile on Zu Zhao's face was even more playful, and he said lightly: "I don't know how much silver is in this painting?" ”

It's vulgar to talk about money, but it's more vulgar not to talk about money. And these two people are both beings who have lost their temperance in the copper smell.

Gongsun Mian raised a finger and said lightly: "Ten thousand taels of silver!" With a proud expression on his face, 10,000 taels of silver, equivalent to 10 million yuan now, this kind of large-scale bribery can be regarded as magnificent.

Zu Zhao said lightly: "Liechen doesn't know how to play elegant, I will directly send 100,000 taels of silver, and ask Lord Sima Li to give the royal special signboard to the ancestral family!" ”

When Sima Li heard about the 100,000 taels of silver, his heart immediately burst into joy, and he thought to himself that this is a wealthy lord, I like it.

100,000 taels of silver, but he can't earn it for ten years. Moreover, this place in Liaodong County is too remote, and it is really far away compared to Tokyo City, and it will not be known by the rotten people in Tokyo City if you get some money here.

As soon as he heard that Zu Zhao wanted the signboard of the royal special offering, Gongsun Mian was anxious, and the signboard of the royal special offering was above in the Gongsun family.

How dare this guy rob in person?

If the signboard of the royal special offering is lost, Gongsun Mian can think of the anger of the Gongsun family, and he, the manager, is afraid that he will never recover.

"Master Simari, I will give 110,000 taels of silver!" Gongsun Mian stretched out a finger. Add an extra 10,000 taels.

"Then I'll give you 130,000 taels of silver!" Zu Zhao said with a grin. Twenty thousand taels of silver were added directly.

"I'll give you 150,000 taels of silver!" Gongsun Mian spoke again, but added an extra 20,000 taels of silver at a time.

"I'll give you 200,000 taels of silver!" Zu Zhao directly put the price on this.

He squinted his eyes and waited for Sun Mian.

Sure enough, Gongsun Mian still caught up: "I'll give 210,000 taels of silver!" Gongsun Mian blushed, 210,000 taels of silver is his limit, and it is also the maximum amount of silver he can embezzle, the Gongsun family has been financially strong over the years, but it still feels extremely painful to take out 210,000 taels of silver at once.

Zu Zhao smiled, but did not increase the price, but the original intention was not to want this royal special signboard, his wool textile industry is developing rapidly, the product is simply in short supply, and now it is the royal people who come to beg him to sell, what is the use of him asking for a royal special signboard? The most important thing is that Emperor Han Ling of the dog day will soon be hollowed out, and the so-called royal family will soon fall.

What's the use of asking for a signboard?

Gongsun Mian froze all of a sudden, he never thought that Zu Zhao did not make a bid, but let him win the lottery directly, but this win was 210,000 taels of silver.

The price is too high.

It is equivalent to the net income of the Gongsun family's business for one year.

Now it's gone.

"I have a royal special signboard here, and there is still a business to do in the future, but if there is no royal special signboard, the future business is not bright, this royal special signboard represents the face of the Gongsun family, many people interact with the Gongsun family, and there is no doubt that I like this signboard of my Gongsun family, but the loss of 10,000 taels of silver, but it is still worth it!"

Zu Zhao sneered, but his eyes were aimed at Sima Li.
