Chapter 34
The two of them were talking about a passing blue whale they encountered on their way back from sea trade.

At that time, the people on the boat looked at this behemoth. Everyone seemed to be frozen and did not dare to move. They were afraid of disturbing the giant beast in the sea and destroying the ship directly. Even some superstitious crew members thought it was a monster in the sea. The sacred beast looked straight at him and kowtowed, not daring to look at it.

"That's right!" Gongsun Han only said one sentence and then became quiet.As a veteran who has spent the first half of his life on horseback, he was vomiting when he first started swimming on the water.

At that time, Gongsun Lu was almost frightened. He sent a doctor in a hurry and comforted Gongsun Han as long as he was responsible for the salt field and left the navy to his subordinates. However, this stubborn old passionate general insisted on leading the troops at sea. .

It took Gongsun Han a year to go from being uncomfortable at the beginning to gradually adapting to the current enjoyment.Now on this sea, Gongsun Han feels that he is omnipotent. The entire northern sea is his amusement park. He has also found the Japanese island that the lord mentioned. The construction of the entire navy was going smoothly until he met That blue whale.

He was also shocked at that time. There was nothing he could do about it. Anyone who saw such a behemoth would probably lose their composure.

But he felt ashamed afterwards. As a soldier, he originally thought he had nothing to fear, but now the appearance of this blue whale frightened him.Although he is old, the old man, whose blood has not yet cooled down, vows to avenge his shame!
He made a vow that good men are everywhere, and if he wants to hunt, he must hunt such a giant beast. This has almost become the inner demon of this hot-blooded old middle school boy. But the building and boat in his hand are too fragile. Even if he encounters that kind of giant beast again, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch it, let alone catch it. But now the lord has equipped himself with a sea ship as huge as that giant beast. It is both strong and fast. He will definitely be able to hunt it down. That giant beast.

At night, Gongsun Lu returned to Liaodong, and Guo Jia reported the day's intelligence to Gongsun Lu.

Well, at this point in time, Xuzhou seems to be in trouble.But it has little to do with me. Even with the navy, I can't fight across states.

Gongsun Lu thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any news about Liu Bei?"

Guo Jia was stunned, not expecting Gongsun Lu to mention him, but he still turned around and found the information about Liu Bei and handed it to Gongsun Lu.

At this time, Liu Bei had not yet evolved into Uncle Liu Huang. When he was invited to Beihai to help Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong resist the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai, he met a nobleman there, who was Mi Zhu.

At that time, Mi Zhu was sent by Tao Qian to deliver money and food to Kong Rong, and then met Liu Bei on the road.Unsurprisingly, he admired Liu Bei very much. After the siege of Beihai was relieved, he invited Liu Bei to Xuzhou and he was willing to introduce him to Tao Qian.

After Tao Qian met Liu Bei, he felt that the young man was as handsome as when he was young, so he elected him as the captain of Xuzhou. Since then, Liu Bei has evolved from Liu Shijun to the two thousand stone captain Liu.

Although the official was promoted, the power was not given to Liu Bei. Liu Duwei still commanded the few troops under his command. After all, for Tao Qian, Liu Bei was only his subordinate and not his confidant. Liu Bei himself also knew that, Nor did he make such excessive demands as controlling the entire Xuzhou army.

History is still very inertial, and Tao Qian still placed Liu Bei in Xiaopei.

With Mi Zhu's help, he has established a solid foundation here in Xuzhou. Of course, he didn't give Mi Zhu nothing in return. He introduced Gongsun Han to Mi Zhu.

As an old man in Gongsun Zan's army, Liu Bei knew Gongsun Han, not to mention how the two met in Xuzhou.

Now Liu Bei only knows that Gongsun Han, the general of his old classmate, is now a well-known big businessman in the coastal areas. He has a large amount of high-grade salt and other rare specialties in the north.

Liu Bei is a man with high emotional intelligence, so he did not take the initiative to ask Gongsun Han why he became a maritime merchant, nor where did his precious goods come from.Liu Bei just wanted to sell Gongsun Han's goods in Xiaopei, and introduced him to Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu was very happy. Gongsun Han's sea salt was all top-grade goods, and it could be said that the supply exceeded demand in the market. Even if the price of this kind of daily necessities increased by another [-]%, his Mi family would still make a profit.

In the past, most of Gongsun Han's sea salt was sold to local businessmen in a scattered manner, but now that he has set up this line, his Mi family can get most of the salt in Gongsun Han's hands, and he is even willing to give in another profit. become.

Gongsun Han is also relatively happy, it's business.Whoever is selling is not selling, and a businessman like Mi Zhu often owns the goods of other ordinary businessmen.

For example, there are various types of craftsmen. Yes, a great businessman like Mi Zhu, who has tens of thousands of Tongke slaves and tenants in his family, has many skilled craftsmen. These are what Liaodong is lacking now. .

Liu Bei was also very happy. The location of the transaction was in Xiaopei. With the tax revenue from this business, he could make a lot of money, which he could use to continue to develop and grow.

Once, he quietly asked Gongsun Han if he could get him some war horses from the north. You must know that Liu Bei now has more than 3000 troops in his army, and only more than 300 war horses. He allocated 200 to scouts, leaving only [-]. If there are many horses and the generals of each department are divided, there will basically not be much left.

Gongsun Han did not express his position. There was no shortage of war horses in Liaodong, but having been a cavalryman for most of his life, he naturally knew how powerful a full-fledged cavalry force could be in a flat terrain like Xuzhou.

Moreover, there were basically no horses in the south. Once that force formed a large number of cavalry, its strength could definitely be said to have undergone a qualitative transformation. However, he still talked about this matter with Gongsun Lu.

Gongsun Lu thought about it and decided to sell it for one word, but he would have to pay more!

So Gongsun Han told Liu Bei that war horses are now subject to military supply control, and the war horse trade in the north is basically under the control of Yuan Shao. He needs a lot of connections to smooth things over. Gongsun Han was silent afterwards.

Liu Bei is so smart, otherwise he wouldn't be the boss. He understands what Gongsun Han means, that is to say, there is nothing I can do, but the market is tense and the price will increase!In the end, the two agreed that a war horse would cost 500 million yuan, which was already twice the price of a war horse shipped and sold by land.

But as Gongsun Han said, war horses are now basically military supplies and are subject to control. Ordinary horses are fine, but those who can be used as war horses are basically controlled very strictly by a few princes in the north.

There is no place in Xuzhou that can raise war horses.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and bought it.This made Gongsun Han very happy. The cost of shipping by sea was much less than that on the road. It was really a good deal!Shi Hou said to Ling Cao, "People here are stupid and have a lot of money. You should bring more things next time!".

Every time Gongsun Han voyages to transport goods, he will bring dozens to more than 200 war horses to Liu Bei. Not to mention, Liu Bei has saved nearly 1000 war horses in the whole year. With abundant tax money and food, more than 3000 new soldiers were recruited.

Now Liu Bei has gathered more than 1000 horses under his command and handed them over to Zhang Fei as commander. Zhang Fei is happy to have so many cavalry!

Every day he was like a husky in heat, looking for trouble for the local bandits in Xuzhou. For a while, Liu Beijun gained momentum in Xuzhou.

Gongsun Lu stopped reading after understanding it. He and Guo Jia had the same view. At this time, Liaodong's development potential had not been fully developed. It was not in line with Liaodong's policy to rashly stand out in front of the world's heroes. In order to benefit, he just told Guo Jia to inform him if Lu Bu takes control of Xuzhou.

Guo Jia was left confused, Lu Bu?Xuzhou?Isn’t it Yanzhou?what does it mean?

The scene turns back to Zhongnan Mountain. Last time we mentioned that Gongsun Lu was planning to make a plan to save the great real person Wang Chongyang. So what did Gongsun Lu do?
The plan is simple, eat soft rice!
