  645, seaport

"dad!"

  Little Long'er saw Liu Hao, and rushed out with a swish. The Heijiao King hovered in front of Liu Hao after him.

   "Master!"

   "Thanks for your hard work, Hei Jiao!"

   "Yes, sir!"

  When Liu Hao interacted with Hei Jiao Wang, he turned his attention to Cao Cao with a smile on his face;

   "Meng De has a hard time all the way!"

   "Hahaha, I have seen Ambassador Liu!"

  "It happens to be in the port. I will take you for a stroll. The construction of the port is not only more convenient for the circulation of goods, but also a great project that can feed the people of one party. Meng De will have the opportunity in the future to try it out along the coast!"

   "Really? It's just this construction..."

   Cao Cao just saw the scale, and he had the intention to retreat. The project was too big, dozens of times bigger than the construction of a palace in Xudu. When he thought of the cost, he retreated a little.

"Meng De, don't think too much about other things. Gongda has been in Liaodong for a long time. About the port, if you meet him, you will ask about it yourself. Among the costs and benefits, and the unknowns, it will not be too late to ask me! "

  Cao Cao nodded, feeling that the issue of income really needs to be considered. However, Liu Hao knew that the income was not so fast. After all, in a feudal society like the Three Kingdoms, productivity was not liberated at all, and goods were still scarce. How could there be so many things to deliver? Cao Cao could hardly afford it after thinking about it in a short time. At best, it's just a test of building a small port.

And Liu Hao also wanted to allow Cao Cao to build a small port. If he could berth commercial ships, he could sell more goods to Cao Cao’s territory, and he could also buy the extra output from Cao Cao’s territory. The problem of the trade gap between the two sides and the benefits of the people brought by light radiation are enough to make Liu Hao happy.

  Dalian Port is divided into several major areas, the military zone occupies a small half, and the other half is divided into three major areas, fishery, trade and passenger transportation.

   Cao Cao is most concerned about the military zone, but Liu Hao took the lead in taking him to visit the civilian area. After this walk, Cao Cao has forgotten the military zone issue and fully calculated the benefits of it.

Regardless of passenger transportation, trade is also difficult to understand. The fishery that Cao Cao is staring at makes him very excited. A boat of marine fish is transported into the port. A rough calculation will reveal the catch that a fishing boat has brought out. It’s tens of thousands of catties. This is all meat, and it’s even more of a grain. There are only a few dozen or hundreds of people on a ship, and it can produce so much grain in ten days and a half. Compared with farming, it’s nothing short of it. Profiteering.

With these thoughts, where Cao Cao could even care about visiting the navy area, Liu Hao saw him, and took Cao Cao and his party directly to find a seafood restaurant nearby to try it. After this tasting, Cao Cao already had determination in his heart. Knowing that the sea is a huge treasure, just waiting to dig it out, the investment may be huge, but compared with the food income, it is only a small head.

   "Meng De, seafood is easy to rot, but it is not easy to radiate the roads in your territory!"

   Cao Mengde’s hard problem on the ground sounded at this meeting. The road construction is bound to be won. He looked at Liu Hao, and wanted to get an explanation.

  Cement, in ancient times, was the construction of artifacts. It was not only as simple as building roads, but Zhucheng was the real big head. Cao Cao immediately cleared his thoughts and couldn't wait to want this craft.

This is in Liu Hao’s plan. If his Liaodong products are sold in various places, traffic is the biggest constraint. Once cement roads are laid in various counties, commodity prices will fall, and sales will definitely increase tenfold and one hundredfold. There is no reason not to support it.

  Today, in Liaodong, there are already many cement technicians trained locally, and they are more than supportive of Cao Cao. However, the status that the craftsmen should strive for requires careful consideration.

It’s impossible for a family to pry open all at once. This needs to be subtle. The penetration of one industry is the right reason. With such an artifact-like product as cement, the promotion of the status of technicians has become a matter of course. There are criticisms, but they have to be suppressed, and this gap will inevitably appear.

Moreover, in Liu Hao’s Confucian Taoist cultivation system, the Gongjia has been promoted in major factories as early as the major factories. The skills of these craftsmen are matched with the Gongjia cultivation system, which is the enhancement of technical level. If you want to learn this high-level technique, you must enter the Gongjia. After a long time, the foundation of the Gongjia was built.

  For these words, Liu Hao didn't talk to Cao Cao in detail, he finalized the technical support, and then finalized the status of technicians and scholars, and the matter was over.

During the visit of the navy, the navy from the earth accepted Cao Cao’s review. The super strong sense of ritual made Cao Cao unconscious and screamed in his heart. The straight military uniform also made Cao Cao feel very gorgeous and forced to give up because of too many people. But I kept thinking about the heroic appearance in my mind, itchy.

  Dalian New City does not have a wall structure, which seems very unique in ancient times. Fortunately, the people living in Dalian today are mostly farmers and fishermen from the surrounding area. They have not experienced the security of the wall and have not made any fuss.

Cao Cao and the others are very uncomfortable. With such a big city, it is well-connected. Once there is an army and horse attack, there is no way to resist it. He wanted to ask several times and then pressed it down. After the visit, he was alone with Liu Hao. In the carriage, this doubt was asked.

  "Mengde, Dalian City is located on the coast, far away from the nomads in the north, and there is no need for defense. It is true that the nomads will fight here. Liaodong is also defeated. What is the point of an additional city wall?

  The real threat comes from the sea, but in the sea, there is a navy to resist outside the sea, so there is no need to worry. "

   "Are you worried about the robbers?"

This is the biggest issue that Cao Cao considered. In ancient times, there were so many thieves, and they were inexhaustible. But in Liaodong, it was impossible. Even if you hide no matter how deep you are, Xiao Longer takes the Black Dragon King and strolls around, it is also exposed. Clean, today's Liaodong, how can there be any habitat for bandits?

  Under a clear political environment, there is less exploitation and land mergers are more unsustainable. After going out of the mountains, land cultivation is arranged, and education is free. Why hide deep mountains for decapitating transactions?

   Liu Hao explained that Cao Cao’s eyes were very envious. Without thieves, how many soldiers and horses can be saved is the direction he really envied.

In ancient times, all counties needed to garrison troops and defend against these possible bandits. Don’t look at the three hundred and five hundred, but if so many counties are counted, one hundred thousand can’t be sown, and they can’t generate much waves and cost a lot of money to support them. However, there is not much achievement, and there is no need to raise it. In short, it is all kinds of uncomfortable.

  The horse-drawn carriage was walking with a group of people on the wide concrete road. The speed was very fast. The left and right sides were separated. As soon as he went straight ahead, Cao Cao passed through the carriage window, calculating the speed in his mind. Thousands of miles per day is a trivial matter. How fast is the deployment of troops on such a road? Ten thousand soldiers and horses can be used as twenty thousand, which not only saves costs and reduces the population, but also cultivates more land, a win-win situation!

It was too late today, and the group of people did not go directly to the passage, but entered the rest of the city of Dalian. The place to rest is not a mansion, but a hotel, a garden-style hotel, which is open on weekdays, even if Cao Cao arrives today. There are still three or five merchants staying in.

   Cao Cao is also very interested in this model. Liu Hao explained that Cao Cao always looked at Liu Hao in a strange way, clearly lamenting that Liu Hao fell into the eyes of money;

Liu Hao didn’t explain this collision of thoughts too much. He just reported the income lightly, which made Cao Cao very excited. He couldn’t think of a hotel. The income for one year was actually higher than the tax revenue of one of the most prosperous county towns in his hands. There was a lot more to it, which simply made him incomprehensible.

  This hotel, of course, is the exception. It relies on the port and is the most luxurious decoration. It also carries the unique lighting of the earth. The price is naturally the highest. Where did the luxury merchants from ancient times experience the luxury of flush toilets?

The electric light is like daylight, and it makes them astonished. No matter how much money, after the experience, they will inevitably never forget. Every time they arrive, they must stay for one night. This makes the revenue of this hotel comparable to one. county seat.

  Entering the hotel lobby, Cao Cao finally understands why there is such a profit. The marble is like a mirror, the wall is made of tall glass, and the luxurious ceiling lamp is exquisite;

  Just like random, in the Central Plains, the treasures of the family are all robbed of their heads, but these treasures are used for decoration in this way, and they are still large-scale decorations. This degree of luxury makes Cao Cao's eyes dazzling.

  When he entered the suite, the soft mattresses, fine beddings, etc., made Cao Cao dizzy, and compared with his palace, he was a little bit ashamed to see people.

  The hotel is a villa model. The largest one is just suitable for receiving Cao Cao. It is also for Cao Cao to experience the environment from the earth in advance. Don't wait to bring Cao Cao into the earth and be regarded as a dumpling.

After Cao Cao was placed, Liu Hao left. In the living room, Cao Cao sank deep into the sofa. Opposite him, Guo Jia almost groaned comfortably. It was too uncomfortable to sit on his knees. This sitting method was the pursuit of the prodigal son of Guo Da. Guo Jia already thought about taking the time to purchase a set from Liu Hao.

   "Fengxiao, if we build a port on the ground in Xuzhou and build a hotel like this, will there be merchants willing to stay?"

  Cao Cao now doesn’t care about businessmen’s affairs. This way of making money makes him too jealous. A hotel is the income of a county town. How many more, shouldn’t it be a diversified army?

  "My lord, I think there will be merchants staying in. However, instead of building a hotel, it is better to sell the decorations of Liaodong to the family, such as the sofa where we sit!"

   Cao Cao's eyes lit up, thinking that he would be willing to buy instead of himself? Needless to say, it is nothing more than a question of how much money you are willing to pay.

  "Hotels are still to be built. Without hotels, how can those families experience the fun?"

   "Lord Lord!"

"Hahaha……"

   Cao Cao is very smart, knowing that he can't produce yet, he simply became a middleman, taking this opportunity to squeeze a lot of gold and silver from the family.

   "Bong Xiao, how do you think about road building?"

  "Lord, don’t care about other things. If you build a cement road to Baima and compete with Yuan Shao for the north in the future, you will not only mobilize troops quickly, but also have more food and grass. You only need to reserve a little on the front line!"

  "Great goodness! Not only to the north, to the south of Jingzhou, to the land of Xiliang in the west, you can do it!"

In fact, there is still one idea in their hearts that they have not explained, that is, with these cement roads, it will be more effective to suppress all places, and those generals who hold military power will also be more scrupulous in their hearts, which has an extraordinary effect on the centralization of power. , For this, it is also worthwhile to build a project.

  In Cao Cao’s mind, he was already thinking about buying more slaves to build. It was a waste of people’s labor and would be criticized by literati and critics, but the slaves were fine;

He also knew that the aristocratic family did not like this kind of project. Once the cement road enters the county seat, the minds of those aristocratic emperors must converge a lot. After the information becomes smoother, many of their actions will be known to the central government, which is a great sign of the people's labor. Fu, the opposition is absolutely terrifying.

This night, Cao Cao thought a lot. A small Dalian opened his horizons and broadened his mind. The biggest gain was that he found that he was not only confined to the land cultivated by the people, whether it was the sea. Fisheries, or merchants, have a lot to do.

  The same is true for Cao Cao, and the same is true for Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who has a super IQ, found another world, Dalian, everything is completely different from what he had learned in the past, many discoveries, in the past learning, are vulgar, even rebellious, but it is such vulgarity. , But now full of vitality, this change made him doubt what he had learned.

Different from Cao Cao’s observation, Guo Jia saw more of the people. He found that the happy smiles on the faces of the people he saw were something he had never seen before. It was a joy from the heart and expressed his interest in the future. The longing and yearning of Dalian, the flame of hope in the confidence has been ignited, and there is a real invasion from outside. These people will definitely take up the weapons in their hands to join the army to resist. The real city wall of Dalian is these people.

Early the next morning, Liu Hao hosted Cao Cao in the hotel cafeteria. A high-end hotel is naturally a high-end cafeteria. Breakfast is also similar to the Earth Hotel. It is a self-service mode. You can take whatever you like. A dozen chefs make their own snacks on site. That is fresh and diverse.

Xiao Longer himself is waiting for the oven. He eats too much, and he can't handle it with more than a dozen chefs. One small pudding has already learned to roast himself. After calculating the time, he opened the oven. The strong aroma attracted Everyone on the scene looked at the scent and saw Xiao Longer's tiny figure rushing towards this side with a piece of meat ten times larger than him.

   "Dad, the oven is so slow!"

   "Well, Dad will help you bake it together!"

   "Dad is the best!"

  "Cut some of these for Uncle Cao and the others, okay?"

   "Um... alright!"

  Little Long'er was still a little tangled, but seeing Cao Cao's bright eyes, she nodded and agreed.

   "Thank you Dragon King!"

  Thanks to Cao Cao, Liu Hao smiled and explained it;

  "These meats are of the true immortal level, the true immortal, and the rank above the holy rank. It's the first time you eat it. Don't eat too much!"

  Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others have brighter eyes, and the eyes that look at Xiao Longer shine with a strong light. The real dragon’s food is of such a high level, so you have to taste it.

Cut out half and gave it to everyone. The rest of the little Longer had already eaten with big mouthfuls. The speed was so fast, three times and five divided by two. Liu Hao had to stop eating, took the little Longer out of the canteen, and barbecued on a clearing. Cao Cao and the others who saw through the window were stunned and sighed that the real dragon was just edible.
