One hundred thousand people could finally be put into production.
The biggest project in Liu Zheng's life, Silver Beach City, has finally begun to take off.
As expected.
Under Silver Beach City's unique points management system, one hundred thousand slaves were very motivated, just to strive for an early return to free people.
This way.
Du Biao's transportation team was also formally prepared.
The twenty brothers he brought from the White Cliff Army became logistics captains. Then, he recruited a team of nearly a thousand people, equipped with horses, camels, and carriages. This was a logistics team dedicated to Silver Beach City.
, and this was established.
Liu Zheng named it "Ocean Logistics", and Du Biao was very satisfied.
Du Biao, from being the third in charge of the Baiya Army, transformed into the big shopkeeper of Yuanyang, and he was quite high-spirited.
The first batch of goods was about to leave for Loulan, and Du Biao was traveling with Mire, who was about to return home, so he had someone to look after him on the way.
Everyone from Silver Beach City also came to see him off.
Liu Zheng looked at the "Ocean" flag, fluttering in the wind, and his mind expanded: "Brother Du, I will leave the Silk Road to you."
Du Biao was well aware of the great responsibility and did not dare to neglect it at all: "Don't worry, sir, the name of Yinzhou will definitely spread across the ocean and spread far and wide throughout the world!"
"Let's go!"
A team of 1,500 people, 500 of which are soldiers with high martial arts skills, and the other 500 people are transporting the goods, weapons and equipment, fine wines, perfumes, etc. that are shipped to Loulan this time...
The remaining five hundred people were slaves assigned by Liu Zheng to Yuanyang, and were responsible for their food and daily life on the way.
Watching these people in high spirits and heading towards the Silk Road in great strength.
Qingyang Shuo couldn't help but laugh and said: "The name of Yuanyang shows the ambition of the young master. It will not be difficult to conquer the Western Region in the future."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated. If you want to conquer it before the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid it won't be possible."
Qingyang Shuo said leisurely: "It doesn't matter whether you conquer Hanzhong or not. As long as you can conquer one or two small countries, the Holy One will not care about your crime of plotting to conquer Hanzhong."
Liu Zheng laughed bitterly after hearing this.
He had to admit that he was walking a tightrope at this time, but he had to walk this tightrope!
The game the old emperor had given him could only be broken through this method.
If he had not chosen this way, the only thing waiting for him would be death.
As for which direction things will develop, then...
It depends on fate.
...
at this time.
Hanzhong.
During the war, Hanzhong was a battleground for military strategists. But in the prosperous times, it was the land of abundance. Later generations often used "the land of abundance" to describe the land of Shuzhou.
Actually it is not.
In Chinese history, the first country that wanted to use the title "Land of Abundance" was actually Hanzhong.
Because at that time, Hanzhong had a more strategic position in the eyes of the northern regime.
Later, with the expansion of territory, the land of Sichuan and Shu took away the title of "Land of Abundance".
at this time.
In Hanzhong City, in a large manor,
A woman in white clothes was holding a book and reading lightly, while teasing the fish in the pond in the courtyard with fish food. This woman was of natural beauty, with fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth, just like a red lotus emerging from the water.
Just then.
"Miss, guess what Xiaocui bought you?"
The woman put down the book and turned around in surprise: "Could it be that Begonia perfume?"
The maid looked frustrated: "Miss, you guessed it right again!"
The woman smiled softly: "This Begonia perfume is in limited supply. If not, why are you so happy, silly girl!"
Xiaocui snorted: "The master is also the Sima of Hanzhong after all, and he didn't even buy a few more bottles for the lady. It's so inconsiderate!"
The woman smiled and said: "How can there be such a person who pretends to be self-serving? Even though the price has doubled several times, we can't afford it."
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiaocui suddenly whispered: "Miss, have you heard? King Yong is discussing with Sima the matter of Miss's marriage!"
"What?"
The woman's face turned pale and she was so confused that the crystal bottle of perfume in her hand almost dropped to the ground.
Xiaocui was innocent and said excitedly: "Miss, that General Qin from Yinzhou was so majestic when he beheaded the enemy among ten thousand people! Master Sima felt very satisfied."
