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.
Ever since 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.
"Fighting with foreign tribes, 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 original 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.
Spices are as luxuriant as grass on certain islands in the south. When I went to Luzon last year, they transported several large ships full of them to Mount Tai. The Lu family shipyard was building sea-going ships day and night because Gan Ning was so energetic. Invest money.
Without the spice money, the tens of millions in cash Chen Xi allocated to Gan Ning would only be enough to launch one or two large ships. After that, he would probably have to pay on credit.
It can be said that the most handsome person living now is Gan Ning, the navy chief. We have money, ships and people, and our financial resources have always been good, and we have even begun to support the central government.
Of course, this was all thanks to Mi Fang being in charge of logistics, if it had been anyone else. Gan Ning, the hands-off boss, definitely embezzled most of the military expenditures. Now, not only were the warships thrown into the sea like dumplings, but Mi Fang could also spend money to replenish Qingzhou's 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 fighting, 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 have any connection with business. As for Mi Fang, Gan Ning is positioned as the logistics manager. Just 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 materials and stuff, so Mi Fang just spent money to buy them. There is a brother who holds the Chamber of Commerce. I have never seen anything that I can't buy, including prohibited items. Yes, you can also buy it at Fenggao with your money.
The integrity of a businessman is sometimes really the same, but he is very angry about this kind of buying and selling of large quantities of prohibited items. Chen Xi always eats as much steel as he can, but he can't help but sell it out. If someone reports you for smuggling, we will seize it.
"Brother Guan, our brothers have been harassing 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. A little smelting is all it takes." 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's concept of copper coins has been mostly wiped out by now. He can't let anyone squat in a pile of money every day. As time goes by, his concept of money has also faded a lot.
At 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 than walking on your own!”
"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. Now it is still the same, 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 slightly fanatically after being silent for a while.
"Use warships to blockade another empire?" Taishi Ci thought.
Ever since Taishi Ci was transferred from the army to the navy by Liu Bei, he had some resentment. In his opinion, the navy or navy was really just a kind of support.
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 navy 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 in the future. 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.)
PS: The war starts tomorrow, guess why...
