Chapter 768: Generous
Youzhou, Yuyang County, Quanzhou City Wharf.
Gan Ning has been with the fleet for several days, this trip to the sea, for him is much easier than the last time, the boat is good enough, he has become bolder, several times tried to go deep into the sea, if it is not for the fear of getting lost, maybe where to run now.
took Gongsun Chan to see the fleet, and also saw a large number of materials transported, saying that it was a large number, but in fact, there was not much food, after all, this thing is not rich on Liu Bei's side now, and the real rarity is salt and a large number of iron farm tools.
A large number of people are about to be migrated to Yuyang, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County, where large areas of land need to be reclaimed, and the demand for agricultural tools is the greatest.
Therefore, Wang Xuan mainly transported these things.
Looking at the salt in the warehouses and the snow-white particles, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but exclaim, "So many!" ”
"It's not much, Brother Bogui, Xuande Gong is not rich in food, but there is something about this salt, and there is no shortage of iron tools, so I can only send these things."
"This can't work, so many things, worth hundreds of millions, how can I collect them!" Gongsun Zhan subconsciously refused, in his heart, Liu Bei was still the little brother who needed him to take care of.
"Brother Bogui is out of sight, when Brother Bogui sent those cavalry and war horses, we accepted them directly, but now, Brother Bogui directly refuses, but he looks down on us!"
"No, it doesn't mean that, it's just that it's too much......"
"In this way, I know that Brother Bogui is not going to go, so it is better to take it as an exchange, Xuande Gong is still in urgent need of all kinds of horses, cattle and sheep, so that it doesn't have to be war horses, ordinary horses pulling carts are also in huge demand, and cattle, I will train cattle into ploughing cattle in the future, oh, and wool, yes, you heard it right, it's wool instead of sheep!"
Wang Xuan simply wrote down all the things he needed, after all, Gongsun Zan didn't understand these things, and he still needed help from his subordinates.
"These are all things on the grassland, I ...... here" Gongsun Chan was a little embarrassed, if the demand was small, he would have no problem, the problem is, now that Bai Mayi is gone, his strength has dropped significantly, and it is not as easy as before to go to the grassland to grab it.
"In this way, I have also considered the problem of Brother Bogui, don't kill all the grassland people, it is better to leave an obedient tribe and use salt, tea, iron pots and the like, and trade these things from the depths of the grassland through them for you."
"Don't be afraid that their strength will grow, wait a year or two, Brother Bogui can retrain the White Horse Yicong, and then go to harvest!"
"Anyway, these Hu people are like weeds, after a wave of harvesting, they will grow again after a few years, so don't worry!"
Gongsun Zhan frowned, and after a moment, he nodded and agreed, although he killed Hu Ren when he saw him, but he was not really brainless, this way of leaving some enemies for my use, he still didn't mind.
After talking about the transaction, Wang Xuan took Gongsun Zhan to meet the craftsmen again, "It is said that Liaodong is a bitter cold place, in fact, in my opinion, the biggest problem is that it is too cold in winter, and many people will be frozen to death, and this problem is actually easy to solve." ”
"Oh!" Now Gongsun Chan was even more excited than he had just seen those salts, if this problem was really solved, he was confident that he would counterattack Yuan Shao within a few years.
It's just that when he has the strength, it's a problem if Yuan Shao is still there.
"You see, this is called coal, this thing is not lacking in Liaodong, this is called coal stove, iron, this is called fire kang, this is called fire wall." Wang Xuan explained, while letting the craftsman burn, and after a while, Yigongsun Zhan, a master of outward release, couldn't help but sweat, and Wang Xuan ran out early.
It's September, and Liaodong has begun to cool down, Gongsun Chan is wiping the sweat beads on his head while staring at the coal stove, and he has been holding it for more than half an hour, and the small pile of coal has not been burned, and it is still glowing with fiery red.
"Hahaha, Brother Zaizhi, with this artifact, Liaodong is already at the top!" Gongsun Chan walked out of the house excitedly and gave Wang Xuan a bear hug.
For him, this is indeed an artifact, the combination of coal, coal stove, fire kang, and fire wall is the supreme magic weapon to conquer winter, and in the entire Liaodong, hundreds of millions of acres of farmland can be developed, but it is never land here, but how to survive the cold winter!
Brazier or something, I don't know how many lives are taken every year!
"The problem of site detection, how to excavate, those craftsmen can handle it, in addition, these coal stoves and ironware will be transported in large quantities, Brother Bogui doesn't have to worry." Wang Xuan broke free from Gongsun Zhan's arms without a trace, damn, say it, thank you, can you not use your hands and feet!
For the time being, Wang Xuan will not build a cement plant and a steel plant here, not reluctant to technology, and the world is not his, he is afraid that Gongsun Zhan will not control it well and the technology will flow out, at least, before completely occupying the north, Wang Xuan does not want to make trouble for himself.
Basically after taking care of the affairs of Gongsun Zhan, Wang Xuan was ready to retreat, and it took a month before and after, which can be regarded as worthy of Gongsun Zhan.
Of course, for Liu Beifang, there are more benefits, first, to develop the Liaodong Corridor in advance, to provide enough experience for the future development of the Liaodong Peninsula and even the entire Northeast, second, to provide a large number of northern grassland specialties, to provide Liu Bei with enough animal power for the development of Qingzhou and even the entire Central Plains, and third, to contain Yuan Shao and help Wang Xuan share the firepower.
With so many benefits, you won't lose money for more than a month.
After getting on the boat from Quanzhou, Wang Xuan was not in a hurry to return to Qingzhou, the big plan had already been made, and the rest was to develop step by step, there were not many places where he was needed, just right, he took this opportunity to train the navy.
He took out a completely hand-polished sextant, and stood on the balcony in front of the captain's room with a bunch of star-pulling boards, explaining to the more than 400 people on the deck at one time.
The devil knows who is talented and who is not, this thing, it's really not good, so the easiest way to select is the actual test, anyway, there is plenty of time, eight large ships with a displacement of 500 tons, there are more than 1,600 people in total.
Explain the simplest use of the star-pulling board, screen step by step, and I believe that there will always be more than ten or twenty people who can learn.
During the day, Wang Xuan wanted to take Gan Ning and others to familiarize themselves with the environment and geography of the entire Bohai Sea, and at night, let them study and experiment with the use of the star board, so they went all the way around Liaodong Bay, but when they arrived in Dalian, Wang Xuan took Gan Ning and others to go up to investigate whether it was suitable to establish a port.
In the end, I went all the way to the Lelang County Governor's Office, Joseon City, and then returned again.
(In the Han Dynasty, the city was called Joseon.) )
After one trip, it took more than a month to train 23 pilots and explore the entire Bohai Sea vicinity.
