The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 151 Southern Tour
After making a big circle around the barracks, Huo Yu took advantage of the dinner time to gather the generals to arrange many things.It has been almost two years since I came to Liaodong, and now all parts of Liaodong have entered a period of rapid development, so Huo Yu plans to follow the caravan to visit the counties in the south of Liaodong.

Two days later, Huo Yu, who was ready for everything, took his four wives and his personal bodyguard Dian Wei, led by his second uncle Mi Fang, and followed the Mi family caravan out of Xiangping South Gate.And behind this caravan, Liao Hua followed from a distance with a thousand flying feather cavalry.

Not long after the caravan left Xiangping, two men and a woman joined the group.Seeing the girl Zhao Yu squeezed into the carriage, Huo Yu's originally calculated spring and autumn dream was shattered.

"Brother Polu, don't you realize that the carriage is too crowded?" Zhao Yu blinked and said to Huo Yu.

"Little sister, are you sure that the carriage is too crowded?" Huo Yu asked intentionally.

"Hmph! Xiao Yu is sure and sure!" Zhao Yu replied without showing weakness.Then he added: "Xiao Yu is really sure, really sure, Brother Polu, you lie in the middle by yourself and take up so much space, how can you be a grown-up man?"

"Ah, you're ruthless!" Huo Yu bickered after being defeated, so he could only get out of the carriage and ride on the horse in disappointment.

"Senior brother, my little sister has been spoiled by you!" Seeing Huo Yu on the horse, Zhao Yun knew without thinking that it was Zhao Yu who did a good job again, so he stepped forward and said.

"Hey, it is still against the law to do evil, but to do evil yourself is not to live! Senior brother, I have now realized the difficulties of being filial." Huo Yu looked up to the sky and sighed.

"My lord, don't drag me into it, Yu'er has nothing to do with me!" Guo Jia suddenly said.

"It's really okay?" Zhao Yun asked deliberately.

"It's okay!" Guo Jia replied firmly.

"Junior Brother, since it doesn't matter, let's find Yu'er a good family!"

"Eldest brother is father, Yun listens to senior brother!" Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jia provocatively after finishing speaking.

"My lord, can we discuss something? Fang is still unmarried" Xing Xing, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly interrupted Mi Fang, but was interrupted by Guo Jia before she finished speaking.

"My lord, Jia Ke wants to elope with Yu'er in such a hurry!"

"Hahahaha" everyone burst into laughter.The voices of the big men were already very loud, and everyone in the carriage could hear them clearly, but Zhao Yu was blushing and bowing his head at this moment, not knowing what to do.Since getting to know Guo Jia, Zhao Yu has had another target to be bullied, and the two have developed feelings for each other after coming and going.

"Xiao Yu'er will blush at all?" Zhang Ning said.

"Just bully me, I'll let brother Polu bully you at night!" Zhao Yu said casually.

After finishing speaking, the atmosphere in the car froze for a short while, then Cai Yan and the others burst out laughing, and played with Zhao Yu for a while.

.Hearing the laughter in the car, Huo Yu turned around and smiled without saying a word.This southern tour is to bring everyone out to have fun and relax. I don’t know when I will have this opportunity again next time.

The caravan traveled all the way, and because of the presence of Zhao Yu, laughter continued during the period.The members of the Mi family's caravan saw their young lady busily serving them, so they knew how sacred this group of people was without saying a word.Everyone was in good spirits as they walked, fearing that they would lose face to the huge Mi family.

Now some roads in Liaodong have been built, especially near Xiangping City, where the roads are flat and extend in all directions.The purpose of this caravan is the Ta family in the southernmost part of Liaodong.As a posterity, Huo Yu knows in his heart that the Da family is located by the sea and is a natural good harbor, and he already has his own plan in mind.What's more, the opposite of Dashi is Donglai in Qingzhou, and many refugees set foot on the territory of Liaodong from here.

And what Huo Yu cared most in his heart was whether he could find the person he had been searching for.Since the establishment of the Dark Feather Guard, Huo Yu has issued many search orders, but there has been no news. For a period of time, Huo Yu even wondered whether history has undergone tremendous changes.

When the caravan arrived at Pingguo, the excitement on everyone's faces had long since faded, replaced by exhaustion, so Huo Yu decided to rest in Pingguo for a few days before going south to Dashi.Along the way, Xinchang, Anshi, and Wenxian are all thriving, but the city of Pingguo is obviously not as good as the previous three counties.Although the edict of the prefect's mansion has already begun to be implemented, it is indeed a depressed scene.

After staying in Pingguo for a few days, Huo Yu didn't find any problems with the local officials, so he went to his destination, Dashi.

After nearly half a month of trekking, the caravan finally arrived at Tashi.Immediately after arriving, Huo Yu arranged for manpower to go to the port - Tajin to inquire about the situation of the ships.At this time, the sea route was not paid much attention, which was also due to the limitation of navigation technology.However, Huo Yu remembers the historical records of later generations that Dashi County was a water and land transfer station for envoys and military operations between Wu State in the south of the Yangtze River and the Gongsun Yuan regime in Liaodong during the Three Kingdoms period.

This shows that Soochow's shipping was able to start in the coastal areas at that time. However, in the past few days to Dashi, although many people who took refuge in Dongdu were seen, there were almost no merchant ships.After asking Huo Yu many times, he learned about the general process of crossing to the east. Due to the crude ships and other means of transportation and the backward navigation technology, the eastward crossing from the coast of Qingzhou must rely on the left-handed return drift and follow the coast in order to obtain food and water at any time. fresh water supply.Such a method of navigation is indeed not conducive to the exchange of goods.

On the beach by the sea, Huo Yu watched Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, Zhang Ning, Yu'er, Zhao Yu and others playing and playing, but he couldn't be happy when he went by himself.As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and now there are no fishermen in this group. If the three counties near Xiangping City are developed by relying on geographical advantages, then the Dashi and Pingguo must think of their own way out.

"My lord, what are you worrying about?" Guo Jia suddenly stepped forward and asked in a daze.

"Feng Xiao, do you know what is in this sea?" Huo Yu pointed to the sea in front of him and said.

"I don't know Jia, please speak clearly, my lord!"

"It's time to build a navy!" Huo Yu murmured.

"Water army?" Huo Yu's incoherent words caused Guo Jia's brain to short-circuit for a while.

"There will be everything! Damn, remember what Yu said in Luoyang that day?"

"My lord, you mean shipping?"

"Yes, it's shipping."

That day and night, Huo Yu called Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, and Mi Fang together to talk about shipping.Mi Fang deserves to be from a family of merchants, Huo Yu's short words let Mi Fang see the benefits of shipping, but the Mi family is not good at it at all.

"Second uncle, the road has to be taken step by step. Now the most lacking in Liaodong is craftsmen. After returning to Xiangping this time, we need to recruit shipwrights from all over the coast and send them to Liaodong. Only after building ships suitable for sea navigation can we start Shipping by sea, but all of these require risking your life. In addition, I have a method of making sea salt here, but this method can only be used in Liaodong." Huo Yu said seriously.
