"Lord, the place you marked seems to be a bit far away from our Yangzhou. I'm afraid those aristocratic families are not willing to go so far!" Gan Ning looked at the circle drawn by Yuan Shu on the map and said with some doubts.

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes: "Who said I was going to give this place to a noble family as a fiefdom!"

Gan Ning's face was confused: "If you don't use it as a fiefdom, what's the use of this place?"

Yuan Shu said angrily: "There are so many uses. Yangzhou is short of money now. There are many copper mines in this place, and most of them are open-pit copper mines. A little mining can produce a lot of copper. This copper can be smelted.

money."

"There are many small countries in this place."

As soon as Yuan Shu said these words, he saw Gan Ning rolling his eyes and looking at him.

"Well, there are many villages in this place. They fight with each other, and the governance system is similar to that of a small country."

"When you get there, beat them all up, and then find two wise men to help you. Then pack up all the treasures in these countries' treasury."

"By the way, remember to bring more food and grass before you leave, and tell the rulers to ask them to send local people to dig copper mines. We will not take their ore in vain, we will exchange it for food."

When Yuan Shu said this, Gan Ning understood.

The place was probably similar to primitive society, where people couldn't afford food. Yuan Shu asked him to exchange grain for copper ore that they didn't need.

When Yuan Shu said this, Gan Ning became excited again: "Lord, how do you calculate the money from the copper mines? How about 30-70?"

"roll!"

I have understood Gan Ning's hob-knife skills, and I have to hammer him at all times, otherwise this guy will go to pieces.

"I'll give you three points at most, and don't think about any more."

Gan Ning thought about it and muttered: "I'm stingy, so I only gave you three points!"

"What did you say?" Yuan Shu blew his beard and stared at Gan Ning.

"It's okay, I mean, my lord, you are too generous, you can actually give me three points of profit." Gan Ning said weakly.

Yuan Shu looked like he was looking at a country bumpkin: "Do you know how much money you can make doing this? Even if you make three points, you'll need nearly a million dollars every month."

Gan Ning was stunned. He thought it would be good to get two or three hundred thousand guan each month, but he didn't expect it to be nearly one million. He immediately drew a face and said with a smile: "Sure enough, my lord is generous. With this money,

I can buy dozens more new-type building ships. It is estimated that only new-type building ships can travel such a long distance safely."

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes: "Okay, go back and prepare as soon as possible! Set off within three days. If it doesn't work out, the navy commander will let Cai Mao do it!"

"Yes!" Gan Ning didn't care at all and left with a smile.

"This Gan Xingba!" Looking at the lawless Gan Ning, Yuan Shu sighed softly: "He seems to be a little too idle. Do you want to find something for him to do? Liaodong should be able to arrange it in half a year.

.”

In history, in the late Three Kingdoms period, both Wu and Wei had many voyages.

For example, the name of the Japanese was given by Cao Rui after he crossed the ocean and came to Wei in 238 AD.

Not to mention the Wu State, which relied on its navy to gain a foothold.

Sun Quan also once sent his navy to Yizhou, which is now Taiwan. However, due to the unsuitable water and soil and the plague, ten soldiers died of the disease, so he gave up the idea of ​​colonization.

I have visited the Japanese state of Wu countless times. Modern archeology has discovered that many bronze mirrors produced by the state of Wu were left there. Moreover, the state of Wu has been mentioned many times in ancient Japanese books, and the post-Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties were also mistakenly called "

Wu Guo". There should have been frequent transactions between them at that time.

The most powerful one is Liaodong. Sun Quan even sailed to Liaodong! And during the Jian'an period, he sent envoys to collude with Gongsun Kang, but he was killed by Gongsun Kang, and the two families became enemies.

After Gongsun Kang died, his son succeeded to the throne and became friendly with Sun Quan. Wu's fleet began to sail on the sea between Liaodong and Jiangnan again.

Later, Sun Quan became even more whimsical and wanted to send a navy to Liaodong. The most amazing thing was that it really succeeded. However, because it was autumn when he returned, the sea was very windy and the waves were high. On the way back, when he was driving ashore, he encountered

The storm had to dock at the coast, but Tian Yu of the Wei State was lucky enough to sneak in and kill him. After that, the Wu State made several voyages to Liaodong, but most of them ended in tragedy.

Therefore, the navigation technology during the Three Kingdoms period was already very developed, especially the navigation technology of the Wu Kingdom. However, because the results of each sea battle coincidentally turned into a tragedy, it was not carried forward by the Wu Kingdom.

Due to many reasons, in the end Wu State only conducted trade with Japan, Liaodong and South China Sea countries, and did not further develop and colonize.

Like Yizhou, where Yuan Shu is currently colonizing, Sun Quan's navy has visited countless times. However, they had to give up the idea of ​​colonization because they were not accustomed to the acclimatization and soil.

But just because Sun Quan couldn't cure the acclimatization doesn't mean Yuan Shu couldn't cure it!

There are a lot of doctors in Yangzhou now, and with a big shot like Zhang Zhongjing here, it is not difficult to solve the problem of acclimatization.

Moreover, Yuan Shu also gave a lot of constructive suggestions, such as eating fruits at sea, boiling water for drinking, maintaining personal hygiene and disinfection, etc.

The wisdom of the crowd is infinite. After calling all the best doctors in Yangzhou to study, Yuan Shu did not believe that these problems could not be solved.

If he was not sure, Yuan Shu would dare to let the aristocratic families colonize Yizhou? The aristocratic families are not fools.

Yuan Shu has spent a lot of money on shipyards in the past year, plus poaching craftsmen everywhere, and various encouragement and reward policies. If he doesn't even achieve the results of Sun Quan, he will really hit a wall.

After all, not to mention the manpower and material resources spent, the two had different goals from the beginning. Yuan Shu went straight to a warship that could sail on the sea.

With Jingzhou in his own hands, the navy in the Yangtze River is of little significance. Twenty thousand sailors are enough to solve the problem. What to do with the rest of the navy? They must be dragged out to sea!

Hainan, Japan, Liaodong, which one does not need tens of thousands of naval troops?

Yuan Shu fantasized about waiting until the south was unified and letting Gan Ning go to Guishang to try his luck.

As a country that basically only values ​​land power, the shipbuilding level of Han Dynasty is still far behind that of Kushan.

Even if Yuan Shu pays attention now and relies on financial resources and manpower to constantly catch up, he will not be able to reach the level of Guishang in less than ten years. Therefore, Gan Ning will most likely kneel down if he bumps into him.

But even if this guy's talent can't be beaten, he will definitely be able to run. After being beaten by the opponent a few times, Gan Ning will definitely stop jumping like this.

Since crushing Cai Mao head-on, Gan Ning has become a bit arrogant. But it is true that in the naval army, he has basically reached the top as a big man, and it is normal to be a little arrogant.

But Yuan Shu can't stand it! Yuan Shu knows how big this world is! What's the point of climbing to the top of the Han Dynasty? There is no pressure at all. If you have the ability, you can defeat the Kushan navy.
