Guan Hai also worked very hard in Yizhou. He trained many veterans of Cao's army as guards and smelted a large number of copper ingots. But really speaking, Guan Hai really didn't want to stay in Yizhou anymore. It's so boring.
Although Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci appeared every few months to bring him some recent news, this could not alleviate Guan Hai's worries at all. He really wanted to see how those brothers were living in the past, instead of just listening to others. Talk about it.
Since that time he chose death to save all the Yellow Turbans, Guan Hai's perspective on the problem has changed a lot. At least he knows what is important and what is important, and his mind is clear.
"We are fighting against foreigners. Can I go back then? I want to see Mount Tai and Qingzhou." Guan Hai's voice was slightly low.
"With your strength, you won't be exposed if you are careful. You can go and see for yourself when the time comes. You will be able to show up in front of others in two years." Gan Ning's mind is very active, and he naturally understands Guan Hai's purpose. So he said with a smile.
Guan Hai was obviously relieved after hearing these words. Although he also knew Liu Bei's kindness, but after such a long time, Liu Bei might have changed. Gan Ning once told him that Liu Bei had defeated Yuan Shao in the north and won the victory. I landed in the richest place in the world.
"Then should I go to the South China Sea with you two now, or should I wait here for you two to come back." Guan Hai rubbed his hands and asked. He heard that he could go back and see his former brothers. Although he could not be discovered by them, he Still very happy.
"No need, Ziyi and I will go to Nanhai. Zifang and Wen Xiang will stay here. When we came this time, we have brought the mother's money and are going to cast it directly into five baht coins here." Gan Ning said He waved his hand and sent Guan Hai away. He and Tai Shici went to fetch spices this time.
The spices are as lush as grass on some islands in the south. When they went to Luzon last year, they transported several large ships full of them to Mount Tai. The Lu family shipyard is building seagoing ships day and night because they are willing to invest money in them.
Without this spice money, the tens of millions of cash allocated by Chen Xi to Gan Ning would have been enough to launch one or two large ships. After that, I guess I can only pay on credit.
It can be said that the most handsome person living now is Gan Ning, the navy chief, who has money, ships and people. And there has always been no problem with financial resources, and it has even begun to feed back to the central government.
Of course, this was all thanks to Mi Fang, who was in charge of logistics. If it had been anyone else, Gan Ning would have stolen most of the military expenses. Not only would the warships be thrown into the sea like dumplings, but Mi Fang would also be able to come up with money. Deny the Qingzhou coastal economy.
The Mi family has never suffered a disaster, but a guy like Mi Fang doesn't know what it feels like to be short of money. Of course, Mi Fang still didn't let the navy do business.
It is estimated that Gan Ning felt that the combat effectiveness of the fighting navy and the profitable navy were too different, so he later divided the navy into two parts. One part was only responsible for combat, and the other part was like a civilian husband in the army, doing some part-time work.
Anyway, for combat positions, Gan Ning does not allow him to be involved in business. As for Mi Fang, Gan Ning is positioned as the logistics manager. You can stay away from the battlefield and ensure that you can get whatever our navy needs. When the time comes to share the credit, you will definitely not be left out.
Mi Fang also completed this task very well. Lu Su would not approve supplies or anything like that. Mi Fang just spent money to buy it. There was a brother who owned the Chamber of Commerce. He had never seen anything that he couldn't buy. Forbidden items and so on, he could buy them in Fenggao with his money.
Sometimes the integrity of a businessman is really no different. For this kind of selling large quantities of prohibited items such as crossbows, steel, etc., Chen Xi always eats as much as he can. But I'm sorry to betray you. If someone reports you for smuggling, we will seize it.
"Brother Guan. Our brothers started to bother us for a while." Mi Fang greeted Guan Hai with a smile after Gan Ning and Tai Shici left. As a young man, she still admired Guan Hai very much for a strong man like Guan Hai who sacrificed his life for righteousness.
"What's going on here? Let's go. I'll take you to count the copper ingots. Luzon is a really nice place. The copper mines on the entire island are of very good quality. Just a little smelting will do it." Guan Hai has been led by a group of Feng Shui masters for a long time. I also know how to open mountains and mine.
"Haha, I've been to that place once. The whole island looks like a copper block." Mi Fang said with a smile, "I'll have people bring the mold over first. In Yizhou, we need to mint 300 million yuan of new money this time. , this time I specially found an old craftsman who is proficient in making money."
"Don't worry, there are enough copper ingots. We have accumulated a large amount of copper ingots. Qingzhuang and I have nothing to do with these. We can only smelt copper ore, and a lot of copper ore has been transported, so we have accumulated quite a lot of copper ingots so far. Amount of copper ingots," Guan Hai said nonchalantly.
To be honest, Guan Hai now has little regard for copper coins.Most of the thoughts have been wiped out, and there is no way for anyone to squat in a pile of money every day. As time goes by, the concept of money has become much weaker.
On the sea, Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci headed towards the sea unhurriedly.
"Xingba, do you have any ambitions?" Taishi Ci suddenly asked while standing on the edge of the boat.
"My previous ambition was to travel all over the world, and now I have achieved it. As for my future ambition" Gan Ning thought for a while and said, "I really don't have one, but I can just follow the military advisor and them. I have always felt that following a smart person It¡¯s better to walk on your own feet!¡±
"Do you have any ambitions?" Gan Ning turned his head and asked Tai Shici the same question.
"In the past, it was a man who wielded a three-foot sword and achieved immortal deeds. This is still the case now, but the immortal deeds are getting bigger and bigger." Taishi Ci said with a smile.
"Yes, the world is really big. The Central Plains is far from the border of the world. One day my warships will dock at the dock of another empire, and then I will use my fleet to block the enemy's entry and exit for the country behind me. ." Gan Ning said with a hint of fanaticism after being silent for a while.
"Use warships to blockade another empire?" Taishi Ci's heart moved.
Since Taishi Ci was transferred from the army to the navy by Liu Bei, he has been resentful. In his opinion, the navy or navy is really just a kind of auxiliary.
It¡¯s okay to transport troops and provide support, but the real winner is the cavalry. The pinnacle of the cold weapon era is the weapon that determines the fate of a dynasty!
Now Gan Ning's words moved Tai Shici's heart. It seems that the naval army is not as good as he thought. It is really touching to blockade another empire or something!
"I have decided to be an excellent naval general from now on. If I mess with you, Xingba, don't let me suffer!" Taishi Ci suddenly turned over and jumped onto the mast, looking at Gan Ning and laughing.
"Of course not. I, Gan Ning, will never treat my own people badly." Gan Ning looked at Tai Shi Ci and said with a smile, "This guy is really easy to fool. Speaking of cavalry and so on, bigger ships can't even run horses." ? ¡¿(To be continued.)
