243. The Center of Shanghai [1/2]

Yi Yun smiled and said, "It's time to expand my territory." Chen Yuanyuan next to him suddenly changed his face when he heard this. It was the kind of surprise that was filled with three-point surprise: "The prince is going to rebel?"

"Xiami?" Yi Yundaqi: "When did I say I was going to rebel?"

"Didn't the prince say that he wants to expand his territory?" Chen Yuanyuan said excitedly: "The prince's territory must be enthroned by the emperor, so how can he expand it himself? Since you say that you want to actively expand your territory, you must have rebelled. Are you planning to take down the Jiaxing Oasis first and then send troops to capture Hangzhou?"

Chen Yuanyuan became happier and happier as he spoke. He actually helped Yi Yun plan a rebellion route. As the master of Sanjiang Pavilion, it is impossible not to be excited when he hears that someone is going to rebel. This means a lot of business can be done. The rebellion side and the Dameng government side will inevitably need the other party's intelligence, or assassinate the other party's important generals, steal the other party's important picture albums and lists. At that time, Sanjiang Pavilion can adapt to the source and make a fortune in the war.

She even began to plan in her mind that the ugly maid would take the initiative to ask Yi Yun to negotiate business on behalf of the people from Sanjiang Pavilion. She would first assassinate the magistrate of Jiaxing County, and then charge 20,000 taels. When attacking Hangzhou, she would assassinate Hu Zhongxian... This is the governor of the seven provinces, and she could offer a high price, at least 500,000 taels. With Yi Yun's financial resources, she could afford it... Next, she would have to assassinate the leader of the wolf soldier, and charge another 100,000 taels. Well, the business in Nanjing Oasis cannot be accepted, and Zhao Yunxuan is in Nanjing... No matter how high the tasks there are, she would not accept.

The further she thought about it, the happier she felt.

Unexpectedly, Yi Yun spread his hands and complained: "I don't rebel. Only fools can expand their territory by rebelling! Besides, although my more than a thousand musket soldiers are powerful, I can't win against hundreds of thousands of troops of Dameng Kingdom. Also, I made three rules with the Yiwu people. I brought gun soldiers out to deal with Japanese pirates and cannot be used to deal with their own family..."

"Huh?" Chen Yuanyuan seemed to be poured on the head by someone, and many businesses flew away. She couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "How is the prince planning to expand his territory?"

"Well!" Yi Yun said seriously: "Travel!"

"Travel?" Chen Yuanyuan was sweating: "Can you expand your territory even if you travel?"

"Tsk! You don't understand if you say it!" Yi Yun waved his hand: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. While the Japanese pirates are gathering a large army and the full war has not yet begun, I will go on a trip, hahaha."

"Come on, prepare a big sand truck... call my girls... By the way, call Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing, who are good at doing odd jobs..." Yi Yun shouted a few words, and named his team when he was traveling around the world, and added: "Take two hundred gun soldiers, two hundred guards, two hundred archers, and two hundred soldiers, let's go to the desert to see the scenery."

He planned to go to the desert where he was located in Shanghai to search for corks like a carpet, so it is necessary to bring more soldiers. He didn't know where the corks in Shanghai were, but only knew that the area was not small. Shanghai in later generations was a huge city, extremely prosperous. It can be estimated that the area he was going to search for was large, and he had to make plans to find no results for a long time.

After the order was issued, the soldiers began to prepare for their stay. Since Yi Yun said that it was possible to live in the desert for many days, the soldiers packed a large bag of luggage, each carrying a large bag on their backs.

This is the standard marching uniform issued by Yi Yun's personal army. The backpack contains a small single tent, a sleeping bag, a water-filled gourd, and a fire note... This is Yi Yun's skill of "technical home" imitated the donkey backpack in later generations, and the bag contains various emergency items. Those who like to travel in later generations who carry this backpack can survive in the deep mountains and forests for a month. Yi Yun thought it was very useful, so he simply imitated it for the soldiers.

The most fun thing among them is a portable food. The rice ball made by boiling the white rice and drying it. It also gave a very strange name, called "Bianliang Pill". A soldier gave hundreds of "Bianliang Pills" to prepare for emergencies.

The soldiers were ready to go, but Yi Yun's girls couldn't get away. Since he changed his career for the girls, each girl was too busy to work hard, each had her own job, and was working hard for the prosperity of Jiashan Oasis. How could she have time to accompany him to the desert?

In the end, only Lu Xi, who was idle, changed his position and became a gun soldier. Yan Wanwan, who had no war to fight for the time being, could follow him, and no other girls could leave. In order to get closer to him, Chen Yuanyuan also took the initiative to ask to follow him. Apart from that, there was no other girl to call him.

On that morning, it was bright and Yi Yun, Chen Yuanyuan, Yan Wanwan and Lu Xi boarded a large sand truck. Eight hundred soldiers sanitated around the sand truck and headed towards the desert in the east... and began their journey to find the Shanghai oasis.

Not long after I left, the wind and sand began to sweep up. Looking ahead, there was a lot of yellow sand.

Since everyone came to the Jiangnan border, they have been traveling back and forth in Jiashan Oasis, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places. They have not traveled in the desert for a long time and are a little uncomfortable with this kind of weather.

Lu Xi pouted and complained, "What are you doing? I suddenly have to travel to the desert. It's so hard... It's windy and sandy... I'm working hard to maintain my skin recently. It's not easy to be white and rich. I can't bask in the sun, not make my skin too dry, and I can't sleep too late, not eat too much, not..."

"Stop!" Yi Yun Khan: "I said stupid assassin, you are born as poor, and it's useless to maintain it! Don't be busy. The three words "white, rich and beautiful" will never be on your head in your life."

"How can I marry a rich and handsome man if I don't become a rich and beautiful man?" Lu Xi muttered dissatisfiedly: "I will marry a rich and handsome man if I die."

"Okay, you have a lot of pursuit!" Yi Yun spread his hands.

Yan Wanwan came over with a smile, hooked Yi Yun's neck with her hands, and asked in a low voice: "Mr., although you seem unreliable in your work and are smiling, I know that you have a reason. I suddenly ran out to travel in the desert. I must have a goal, right? Is there anything good in this desert that can be obtained?"

"Hey, my Wanwan is the smartest and knows me the best." Yi Yun slapped her little butt and said with a smile: "Prepare the four treasures of the study, I am going to draw."

Yan Wanwan quickly prepared pen, ink, paper and ink for him.

Yi Yun spread a huge piece of white paper on the ground of the carriage, picked up his pen, drew the shape of the Yangtze River Delta on it, and smiled and said, "Can you see what this is?"

The girls didn't know what Yi Yun drew, only Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Isn't this the general map of the desert we are going to travel to? What are you doing for painting this?"

"Huh? You're so amazing." Yi Yun looked at Chen Yuanyuan curiously. You must know that even if you were to be shown by Shanghai people in later generations, you might not be able to see that it was a contour map of the Yangtze River Delta. Chen Yuanyuan could see it at a glance, which only means that the whole world's map was kept firmly in her heart. He couldn't help asking: "Are all the courtesans on the Qinhuai River so powerful? You can actually see where I was drawing, so strong! It seems that I have to find some time to get all the other seven Yans from the Eight Yans in Qinhuai to be a military advisor."

"This... Prince, you are joking. I just happened to see a Nanjing official drawing this map. Speaking of Jiangnan, this desert is the weirdest, I remember it in my heart at that time, coincidence!" Chen Yuanyuan laughed dryly.

"Forget it, I'll interrogate you again in the future!" Yi Yun smiled wickedly: "I'll interrogate women, hehe..."

He ignored Chen Yuanyuan, first did serious things, picked up his pen, and based on his memory, he separated several major areas in Shanghai with lines. Songjiang District, Qingpu District, Minhang District, Putuo District, Qingdong New District, etc. Each area was drawn in a circle and then a question mark was put on it...

In which area will the cork in Shanghai Oasis be located?

Yi Yun frowned and began to think hard!

Chen Yuanyuan also came over to see what he drew. She looked left and right and didn't know what it meant, but her association was very rich. After reading for a while, she spoke: "Prince, are you drawing a treasure hunt map? Is there any treasure buried in this desert?"

Speaking of treasures, it means a lot of money. Chen Yuanyuan's heart suddenly became fanatical! For her, what money earns is worth spending effort.

"Well, it's also considered a treasure hunt map, haha!" Yi Yun thought about it carefully. If Shanghai in this world really had a cork, it was almost certain that the cork would be at the most important position in the city. The most important position in Shanghai in the future is undoubtedly Huangpu District, Jing'an District, Luwan District, Xujiahui, Bund... this part!

This area is not only located in the center of Shanghai, but also close to the Huangpu River. It connects the sea through the Huangpu River. It has a very important geographical location and convenient transportation. It can grasp the overall situation of Shanghai. In another world, after the Westerners used unfair treaties to turn Shanghai into a concession, they chose this place as a stronghold, which shows how important this location is in Shanghai.

Yi Yun made a decision without hesitation and started looking for it here!

He hooked a circle at this position, then handed the map to Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing outside the car, and ordered: "Order the soldiers to march here."

Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing took the order, and Chen Yuanyuan stared at the map and was stunned. She couldn't help but wonder: What treasure is buried here? Is it very valuable? I wonder if there is a transfer treasure on him, and if there is... what should I do? Give up the transfer treasure and grab this new treasure?
