The two barbarians Xu Chu and Dian Wei became more and more happy as they talked, completely forgetting what their original purpose was. Of course, he did not realize how rare a tiger with its internal energy separated from the body was. According to Dian Wei, the meat was particularly chewy.
head!
Speaking of chewy meat, we have to talk about what Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci are doing now. Since that day, the two of them used unconventional methods to take Liu Yu out of Zhuojun, and then galloped all the way. Finally, they were not killed by Gongsun Zan.
He stayed, took the big ship to sail, and started heading south without hesitation.!
Gan Ning and Tai Shici only saved one Liu Yu, and Liu Yu's wife, children, and parents were more than willing to do anything. However, in their opinion, as long as Liu Yu was still alive, Gongsun Zan would not be so crazy.
Just wipe out the entire family, as the so-called disaster does not harm the family.
As for how Gongsun Zan dealt with Liu Yu and his family in the end, Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci, who had boarded the ship but had not docked, had no idea and had no intention of caring about such trivial matters. Their goal at that time was to catch a Kun and give it as a gift.
A wedding gift for Chen Xi.
It is said that after Liu Yu cited scriptures, the two of them had given up on this proposal. The subtext of "the dream of a prince dying after a big fish" is really too unlucky. If someone gets married, and he is still a prince, if you give the whole past, this is in
To tear things down, right? Why don't you be so unscrupulous?
The ancients were very particular about such prophecies, so although Gan Ning was very dissatisfied, he gave up the idea of catching a Kun as a gift to Chen Xi.
After that, Liu Yu was forgotten. Anyway, he was used to things like sitting on a sea ship. Liu Yu lay in the cabin and was taken care of by a few smart soldiers. Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci immediately
I started thinking about what kind of gift to give Chen Xi.
All the way south, when passing through Qingzhou, Gan Ning sent people to send Liu Yu to Beihai. Kong Rong sent him to Mount Tai. As a result, without the knowledge of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, Kong Rong strictly abided by the etiquette of the Han Dynasty towards the princes.
Ignoring Liu Yu's strong request, he sent someone directly to send Liu Yu to Chang'an...
After sending Liu Yu out, Gan Ning set sail again and led most of his troops towards Yizhou at the highest speed. This was a strategic location that Chen Xi had told Gan Ning to occupy early in the morning, not only to capture Yangzhou in the future.
Prepare, and also prepare for future trade with the Jiaozhou natives!
Now Gan Ning has to go somewhere to pick up a gift. Since Kun can't make gifts, Gan Ning feels that as a layman, it's better to be more tacky.
For many people in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou is not a place where people live, but Chen Xi knows very well that it is very suitable for growing food. Even if it is slash-and-burn farming, people will not starve to death. So the natives there will have food if they just scatter a handful of seeds without taking care of them.
Harvest, and these are the basis of trade.
The lack of food in the Central Plains does not mean that there will be a shortage of food in a place where rice of any kind can be harvested twice a year. What's more, Chen Xi's plan is to trade food in an unscrupulous predatory way. He found the boss of an indigenous tribe and exchanged it for a glass ball.
A boatload of grain or something.
There are many things in that place that are rare treasures for the Central Plains. By then, Qingzhou will be rich with just a scissor difference. After all, Jiaozhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty directly extended to what is now central Vietnam, a place where you can get three crops a year by just farming.
.Except for the bad taste of rice, the grain yield is definitely enough.
All in all, Chen Xi told Gan Ning from the beginning to take care of things when he had time, build relationships with the native leaders of Jiaozhou, and then provide the leaders of the native tribes in Jiaozhou with some things they liked, and then let them plant more grain and grass.
Those tribal leaders are actually local leopards, but they are all independent masters in their own territory. The tribal subjects under them range from 30,000 to 20,000 to as many as 100,000, forming independent small kingdoms one by one.
Chen Xi's proposal to Gan Ning at that time was to provide some backward tools to those tribes to bring them closer to civilization, and then let them use those tools to grow food, and then use the food to exchange Gan Ning for luxury goods, glass bottles for ivory, etc.
Yes, as long as the other party is willing, Chen Xi won't mind.
Because of this, Gan Ning has now built a small port in Yizhou and stationed some people there. Although it is not many, it is not a problem to rely on the natives of Yizhou to at least supply food and fresh water.
After setting foot in Yizhou, Taishi Ci looked at Gan Ning in shock after learning the size and location of the island. He was completely convinced. He was worthy of being the commander of the navy and the general manager with the power of life and death. In this kind of situation
Supply points have been established locally, and with such a large territory, as long as the navy is good, it will be easy to attack Yangzhou in the future.
"Brother Xingba, I admire you." Taishi Ci looked at Gan Ning with admiration. His courage, ambition, and vision were like a cloud compared to him.
"Hahaha, don't be impressed. Hurry up and pack the food and fresh water. Next we are going to Zhuya County!" Gan Ning said with a smile, "This is just a transit station. There were thousands of people there, but
It has been conquered by me, and now I am working hard to farm, but it is a pity. If only 30,000 people were shipped here, we could grow food for 100,000 people in a year."
"Ah?" Taishi Ci opened his mouth in shock.
"Don't be surprised. Rice is very easy to grow here. It can be grown two or three times a year." Gan Ning sighed and said, "You will know when you get to Zhuya County. There is no shortage of food in that place. I don't know why Emperor Yuan wanted to grow rice."
Give up that place."
Chen Xi didn't know the question Gan Ning asked. If he had known, he would have told Gan Ning that the emperor did not leave the capital, and the affairs of the world sometimes relied on imagination. Unfortunately, reality is far crazier than written knowledge.
Even if the output of the grain was only more than twice the normal amount and the taste was not very good, it was enough for the emperor to stabilize the people who were about to starve to death, and it was also enough to stabilize his throne.
But it is a pity that there is such a place that can grow three crops a year and only requires slash and burn farming. However, every time it goes against the emperor's imagination, it can only be regarded as nonsense, and even Zhuya County was abandoned directly.
After that, even Jiaozhou no longer appeared in the emperor's sight, and it was mainly used as a place of exile.
When it came to Soochow, no one was willing to go to the southern part of Jiaozhou to see with their own eyes. Everyone was a distant leader, and everyone was immersed in the imagination that the southern part was wild, the barbarians didn't know etiquette, and the atmosphere was full of smoke.
In short, after Gan Ning went to Zhuya County for the first time and met up with a tribal leader and exchanged a set of celadon for dozens of large pearls, Gan Ning finally understood what Chen Xi meant when he said that there was no difference between the tribal leaders and the emperor. .
"Let's go, set sail and head towards Zhuya at full speed!" Gan Ning shouted, after all, there is not much time left before Chen Xi's wedding. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
