Chapter 2104 Strategic Changes
"Hey, isn't this a Grand Minister?" Chen Xi had not blocked Lu Jun yet, but he was blocked by Liu Zhang who ran away.
"Oh, Yizhou Governor, today is great." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"The prosperity of the Central Plains makes people linger, and the military power is so powerful that it is even more shocking." Liu Zhang said with a shy face. Anyway, he had already planned to make some things from Chen Xi. The local tyrant Liu Bei, let me take some autumn wind.
"Hahaha, I heard from Duke Xuande that the governor of Yizhou cannot live in Yecheng for a long time, have you ever thought about what to take back?" Chen Xi said with a smile. It's not interesting to continue to go around the corner. It's better to go straight to the point, at least save some time.
"I listen to people's words and teach them how to fish, it's better to teach them how to fish. But I think the latter is too high in his own ability, so just to be simple. If you don't want anything from the Grand Secretary, you will throw them to Yizhou. Just give some other new things to you." After all, Liu Zhang has been a man of many years, and he still knows the elegant meaning and follows immediately.
"I accidentally saw Ji Cai and Yizhou Mu chatting with each other. I think the Yizhou Mu is very interested in Ji Cai." Chen Xi smiled and changed the topic. He threw all the eliminated things to you. If you think too much, they are all important materials and belong to the militia system.
As he said that, Chen Xi smiled and waved to Lu Jun, who looked unhappy, and soon Lu Jun ran over. Although Lu Jun was afraid that Chen Xi knew what he was doing now, if he couldn't make it, it would be a bit unreasonable if he couldn't make it. So Lu Jun plucked up his courage and stepped over for his dream.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see." Lu Jun bowed to Chen Xi, and then bowed to Liu Zhang. No matter how unhappy Lu Jun felt, Liu Zhang, he could not reveal it in front of others.
"Ji Cai, come, tell Chen Hou the great route you told me before, the transportation plan for gold, jewelry and spices." Liu Zhang said excitedly. He suddenly realized that he understood Chen Xi's meaning. He was actually ready to let him beat Qiufeng.
What a good person this is. As expected, two boats came first. When Lu Jun was blowing vigorously, Liu Zhang was really excited. He really had an idea about shipping. He could pick up gold and jewelry and spices for free. Let’s take a boat first. If you have a boat, you will have money to find this type of island. If you have money, you won’t need to fight Qiufeng.
"Ha?" Chen Xi looked at Lu Jun in confusion. What the hell is the great route? What the hell is the island where gold, jewelry and spices are picked up for free, and shipping plans, why do you feel that Liu Zhang is not online? There is a port in Yizhou, and can you use a boat?
Chen Xi glanced at Lu Jun suspiciously. Lu Jun was fooling Liu Zhang, right? Just in Yizhou, tell me how to use a warship?
"Horse Chen, I feel a little stressed when you look at me like this." Lu Jun coughed lightly, "The south of Yizhou Mu has reached the ocean, and it is possible to use warships. More importantly, the Lu family can provide technical support and build ships directly in the area where Yizhou Mu is approaching."
Lu Jun explained with a reasonable and well-founded explanation that if you dare to come out and fool people and are not prepared, wouldn’t that be exciting? As an inspirational fooling around hundreds of billions of dollars, if Lu Jun is not prepared enough, how could he fool these smart people?
"Oh, I'll go, Ji Cai, you are a genius!" Chen Xi was stunned at first, then reacted, and immediately reached out to pat Lu Jun on the shoulder.
Chen Xi had always thought about how to solve the problem of the Kushan Navy. Malacca could not be passed, and even went further and directly occupied by the Kushan in accordance with the official history.
However, Lu Jun's words reminded Chen Xi, why do we build ships along the Western Pacific coast represented by Jiangdong and Qingzhou? This is not later generations, China, which has been restricted by the coastline. This is the Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago, and the estuary of the Indian Ocean. It can be obtained as long as the Han Dynasty needs it!
In this case, what is the significance of building a ship in the Western Pacific? Kushan is right? Ocean shipping technology is simply amazing, right? It blocked the Strait of Malacca and directly blocked the passage from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, blocking the Han Dynasty's route of march.
But after Lu Jun pointed out this fact, Chen Xi also realized that why we wanted to go to the Strait of Malacca? The Han Dynasty fought out from Yunnan and Guizhou to establish a port city in the Bay of Bengal, and there was no need to leave in Malacca!
If you build one, you will throw one into the Indian Ocean. We can’t beat you from the ocean. If you have the ability to come near the sea, you will come!
In this way, the entire East India region was directly under the military front of the Han Dynasty. Although the West India region still could not solve the logistics problems, overall, the difficulty of dealing with Kushan was reduced by half before.
Chen Xi didn't believe it anymore. His own shipyard was on the coast of the Indian Ocean and could not defend the logistics of the eastern Yunnan-Guizhou Line. As for the logistics of the Central Asia Line, we will find a way to solve it later.
The thinking became much broader in an instant, and many strategies had a basis for implementation. The shipyard in the Bay of Bengal solved strategic problems to a great extent.
"Hahaha." Lu Jun exposes this matter with a haha, and does not want to have too much entanglement with Chen Xi, for fear of revealing his original intention.
"This is a very important plan. I need to think carefully about how to deal with it. If we move technology to southern Yizhou now and build a shipyard there in advance, neither material nor technical investment can be completed in a short time." Chen Xi silently thought about how to build ports and shipyards in the eastern Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.
At this moment, Lu Jun was collapsed. He wanted to say that he was just fooling Liu Zhang. Why did you take it seriously, Hou Chen?
"Forget it, if there is some intention to build a shipyard there now, there is too obvious intention. We should first carry out wood storage, land leveling and road construction, and first complete the road paving and material preparation, and then directly put manpower into place..." Chen Xi inexplicably touched his chin and thought, and had already made some plans.
"Mr. Chen, do you mean that you are planning to build a shipyard for us in the southern part of Yizhou, right? You are so polite." Liu Zhang was excited when he heard Chen Xi's words and said to himself, so he used the honorific title to Chen Xi.
"Well, it's not about building a shipyard for you, but about transferring the shipyard to the southern part of Yizhou. At that time, the Yizhou master can get close to the water tower and get a moon first." Chen Xi said with a smile. Since the port of the Bay of Bengal has been confirmed, as the actual local leader, Liu Zhang, could not go around. If Liu Zhang wants to give him ten or eight ships, it is not a problem.
As for whether Liu Zhang can organize people to go to sea and ocean at that time, it is not something Chen Xi cares about. However, as Chen Xi has learned now, the combat effectiveness of the Kushan Navy is probably enough to let Liu Zhang go out and kneel down.
"That's great, it's great, it's still a good thing for the Grand Secretary!" Liu Zhang said with a big laugh.
"However, before this, we need to build the Sichuan-Shu Highway. As for the details, we need to talk about it carefully." Chen Xi's general thinking was already formed at this time, but the details still need to be verified carefully, so we can't tell the truth directly now.
Seeing Chen Xi's expression, Liu Zhang and Lu Jun knew that Chen Xi might have something to do, so they didn't stay with Chen Xi for a long time.
[Huh, I escaped a disaster. Now when I go to Zilong, so many local tyrants visit each of them should be enough to build the keel and part of the hull.] Lu Jun watched Chen Xi leave excitedly, and then chatted with Liu Zhang for a few words, and then left respectfully.
[The person in charge of the Central Plains is indeed generous and generous, far exceeding those who have never seen the world in remote and small places. As expected, they need to come often in the future.] Liu Zhang was excitedly thinking that he really didn't expect that he could get it by just fighting Qiufeng casually.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce and others were ready to take a boat south and use their eyes to witness possible enemies.
The military parade in Yecheng did give them a great impact, and Liu Bei's military power had really reached the point where he could not resist it.
[With my eyes, witnessing the world, witnessing this dynasty that is competing with me in China in this era, let me see what capital they have to be as proud as us!] Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the ship, thinking silently, some of the trump cards he had not intended to use had to take out this time, which was enough to be a huge enemy of Liu Bei. Zhou Yu had to be careless.
Similarly, the Xiahou brothers brought Cao Ang, Xiahou Ba, Zhang Xiu with his son, and Ma Chao and his family returned to Chang'an at the same time. Liu Bei's military power was indeed very terrifying. The strength was enough to make people tremble from the bottom of their hearts. They really had no capital to resist.
But with such powerful strength, he is still willing to sit down and have a good talk with Sun Ce and Cao Cao. Faced with such terrible strength, even the Xiahou brothers would consider it. The kindness of the strong is indeed worthy of the weak to think with their lives.
Zhen Yan of the Zhen family was flipping through the plan in his hand at this time. Their family was indeed moved by Lu Jun. The advantages of sea transportation after the investment of large ships were too obvious. Although the cost of building a ship was very high, this cost was not a problem for the Zhen family.
"Shipping plan." Zhen Yanxu said with a serious expression on his face as he knocked on several desks.
If this plan is to be implemented in one step, it may require nearly 3 billion yuan of investment, but its significance can allow the Zhen family to almost completely monopolize the shipping near the Han Dynasty. As for the recycling cost, according to the current situation of the Zhen family obtaining information from various places, it has only been ten years.
[It seems that it needs to be launched to start the old clan. Let’s discuss this plan carefully. The investment of 3 billion yuan is not a small amount. Moreover, shipping is a new industry for the Zhen family. More importantly, it is really dangerous if you invest so much as soon as you enter. Well, try whether you can acquire the Lu family’s shipyard.] Zhen Yan put down the plan and thought silently.
Chapter completed!
