The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153

Wei Ji raised the same concerns as Yuan Tan.

Yuan Xu replied: "There are two ways to transport seafood. One is to marinate them with salt. The marinated seafood can be kept uncorrupted, and can be sold in the mainland as well. The second is to use ice cubes to keep them fresh." , as long as there are enough ice cubes, the transportation distance is not very far, and it will not rot."

"It's easy to marinate, where do you get the ice?" Wei Ke said, "If that's the case, seafood can only be transported in winter every year."

"There are quite a few caves on Penglai Island." Yuan Xu replied, "I will transform one or two of them so that they can produce ice."

"Reconstruct the cave to make ice?" Wei Ji asked in a daze, "Young Master, do you think it's possible?"

"It's not that I think it's feasible, but it's definitely feasible." Yuan Xu replied confidently: "Don't forget, I have immortal skills."

When it comes to fairy art, Wei Ji doesn't say much anymore.

Yuan Xu stopped hundreds of thousands of Huns by himself and forced them to hand over their horses and the people who were taken captive in those years. It has long been spread in Hebei.

Up and down Hebei also regarded him as a god-like existence.

He said that if it can be done, it can be done.

"Accompany me to Penglai again." Yuan Xu greeted Wei Ji.

Rushing to Donglai, Wei Ji wanted to develop business here, of course Penglai would go.

When going out, Yuan Xu ordered the guards to hand over the tactics to Tian Feng, and then called Yuan Tan to board Penglai Island with him.

He and Wei Ji came to the beach, Yuan Tan was already waiting there,
Seeing Yuan Xu, Yuan Tan greeted him: "Why does Xianxin still go to Penglai?"

"Take you there to have a look." Yuan Xu replied: "Penglai is a treasure land, if you don't go to the island, will you be in Qingzhou for nothing?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Yuan Tan's face.

He has been in charge of Qingzhou for many years. If it weren't for the tsunami this time, Donglai might not have arrived, let alone Penglai, which is located overseas.

After getting on the big ship, Yuan Xu looked in the direction of Penglai: "There used to be three fairy islands overseas. Some of them sank, and some of them are still alive, but they were ignored by people."

"Is Penglai one of them?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Brother should have read a lot of classics." Yuan Xu replied: "Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang's three immortal islands have long been recorded."

"But I only know about Penglai, I don't know about Yingzhou and Abbot." Yuan Tan asked Yuan Xu, "Does Xianxin know where the two fairy islands are?"

"The abbot sank into the sea." Yuan Xu replied, "I have long since disappeared, but I know about Yingzhou."

"Where is it?" Yuan Tan asked.

In his impression, Yuan Xu should have never been out to sea, and knowing the location of the overseas fairy island is not much possible.

Yuan Xu pointed in the direction of Penglai: "Continue to the east, and Yingzhou is there. Now our sea ships can't reach that far, and one day I will go there."

Mentioning Yingzhou, Yuan Xu clenched his fists.

Noticing that his emotions were a little disturbed, Wei Jiao asked, "Is there something wrong with Young Master, Ying Zhou?"

"It's a big holiday." Yuan Xu replied, "We can't live together!"

Both Yuan Tan and Wei Ji were stupefied.

No matter what the two of them thought, they couldn't figure out what kind of trouble Yuan Xuneng had with the natives of Yingzhou.

He has never been there, and no one in Yingzhou has been to Hebei.

It was inexplicable, how could he offend such a master!

When they reached the coast of Penglai, Yuan Xu was the first to land on the island.

Yuan Tan and Wei Ji followed behind him.

"If it wasn't for Xianxin, I really wouldn't have come to Penglai." Yuan Tan looked around on the coast of Penglai, and said to Yuan Xu, "No wonder Xianxin can manage Hebei in an orderly manner..."

"I don't go back to any place." Yuan Xu replied: "Where there is a disaster, I will go there, and then solve the problem in a targeted manner. Only in this way, the people will agree."

Wei Ji then said: "Young Master has a detached status in the hearts of the people in Hebei. Anyone who intends to rob Hebei, the people will not agree."

His words undoubtedly touched Yuan Tan's pain point.

Yuan Tan's complexion became very bad, and he couldn't say anything. He was just annoyed in his heart, why he didn't investigate Yuan Xu's situation in Hebei in detail a few days ago.

If everything had been found out and he knew he was invincible, how could he have done so many things?

Fortunately, Yuan Xu didn't worry about this issue.

He greeted Yuan Tan and Wei Ji: "Let's go to the island to have a look."

Walking into the hinterland of Penglai, what Yuan Tan saw was a mess everywhere.

There are trees that have been washed down by the tsunami everywhere, and there are no signs of the life of the residents on the island.

"This tsunami has washed away everything cleanly." Yuan Xu said, "Not a single brick or tile was left behind from the people who used to live on the island."

Yuan Tan also nodded and sighed: "Those people must be gone..."

"How many families lived on the island?" Yuan Xu asked.

"As far as I know, there are at least twenty or thirty households." Yuan Tan said, "They don't have much contact with the coast, and they never pay taxes to Qingzhou. They just bring some seafood ashore for exchange when they need tools."

"That is to say, they are not the subjects of the Han Dynasty?" Yuan Xu asked.

"It's not true." Yuan Tan replied: "I asked before, those who lived on the island before even spoke differently from those on the coast. In the past, most of the exchange of tools was by hand gestures."

"Not educated by the big man, and even rarely communicate with the people on the shore, and the language is different." Yuan Xu said: "Even if they are not the people of the big man, this tsunami should indeed be God's will."

"How to say?" Yuan Tan didn't quite understand.

Yuan Xu said to him: "With this tsunami, my elder brother will recognize me as the lord of Hebei. It was also this tsunami that cleared up the aborigines on Penglai. If they are still there, the people who migrated from Donglai will surely There is friction with the aborigines. When the two sides quarrel, we have to settle it by our hands. By then, wouldn’t it be even worse?”

Only then did Yuan Tan understand why Yuan Xu said that the tsunami was God's will.

"Although in the face of disasters, the experience of the aborigines makes people sympathetic, but winning the world cannot be achieved by relying on excessive sympathy." Yuan Xu continued: "To treat your subjects, you must do everything possible to consider their interests. , there is no need."

"That's why Xianxin exterminated the Huns?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Kill them all?" Yuan Xu was surprised: "I didn't do that, I just drove them away. The Xiongnu stayed in Hetao, and it seemed that they surrendered, but their minds were thinking about invading the Central Plains all the time. Leaving them is a disaster. , drive them away, and let them harm others."

Yuan Tan felt a cold sweat running down his spine.

He watched Yuan Xu grow up.

Until the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Xu was still just a cowardly boy. In the past two years, he seemed to have changed himself, killing decisively, leaving no room for his opponents.

Even if they are brothers, they just leave a way to survive.
