Chapter 718 Tianzhu Kingdom

Liu Bei really wants to cry, he has nothing now, the army is gone, the money is gone, and even freedom is gone, the only thing left are the two brothers who are by his side.

If both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were taken away by Cao Cao, he would be completely hopeless.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's last possessions, and they must be kept no matter what.

Liu Bei waited blankly in the pavilion for about an hour before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back together.

"Brother."

"Brother."

The two saw that Liu Bei's expression was not good, so they called out and sat down beside them.

Liu Bei slowed down, and then changed a more relaxed expression and said: "Just now the prime minister came to see me."

"What about Cao Cao?" Zhang Fei yelled out his temper immediately.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei and motioned him to keep quiet.

"Prime Minister Cao wants his second and third younger brothers to help him." After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stared at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to see if there was anything strange about them.

Zhang Fei slapped the table angrily and said, "Don't even think about it, you want me to help him even if you keep big brother here."

Guan Yu frowned and said nothing.

Liu Bei was secretly happy, but he still scolded Zhang Fei a few words, telling him not to talk nonsense.

"If we want to leave, we still have to pretend to obey Cao Cao's arrangement. If we can gain military power, we can only leave when we find an opportunity. I hope the two younger brothers will continue to endure the humiliation." Liu Bei said sadly.

After that, Liu Bei said some words that are ashamed of a big man, and ambition is hard to pay.

Zhang Fei repeatedly promised Guan Yu that he would live up to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were stable, so he dared to let them both work for Cao Cao.

What Liu Bei is most afraid of is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will also leave him, and then he will really have nothing.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reported to Cao Cao soon after, and Cao Cao was overjoyed.

However, Cao Cao was also on guard against the two men, not allowing them to stay in the same army.

There is nothing they can do about it.

After Cao Cao came back, he actively prepared armaments and prepared to fight again.

At this time, the northern front has stabilized, and they will fight again when they are ready.

Zhang Yu has been handling internal affairs in Jiangdong, re-establishing strategies and planning for future development.

Jiangdong started a new round of major construction.

One is to build some main trunks in Jiangdong, and build them according to the standards.

The second is to establish a royal city.

Zhang Yu and the others have experience in building a new city, planned it in advance, and determined some families to supply the materials needed for building the city.

Zhang Yu feels that it is too inefficient to prepare all the materials by himself, and outsourcing to various families can effectively utilize the resources of all parties.

The royal city should be large in scale and serve as a hub connecting the north and the south.

It has been three months since Zhang Yu returned to Jiangdong. After finishing his work, he lived a happy life, discussing life with a few wives, and teasing two little guys. Life is very good.

Life is going well, and Zhang Yu is satisfied with the current speed of development.

On this day, Zhang Yu was still working in the study during the day, and Guo Jia came in a hurry.

"My lord, big news." Guo Jia gave Zhang Yu big news as soon as he arrived.

Zhang Yu put down what he was doing and asked Guo Jia to sit aside.

Zhang Yu called the guards and asked them to prepare tea.

Zhang Yu saw that Guo Jia was sweating, so there must be some serious matter, but don't worry about it, just drink slowly.

After a while, the tea was brought, and there were two people sitting opposite each other in the study.

"Feng Xiao, speak slowly."

Guo Jia had already breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhang Yu: "Master, I still remember that your old man sent a fleet to explore last year, and now there is news."

How could Zhang Yu not remember that Qiao Xuan made him lose more than 50 million yuan.

"what news?"

"They didn't get wrecked at sea. Not only did they not get wrecked, they also went to several countries, and finally arrived at a country with a huge population, comparable to ours in China, estimated to have a population of nearly 200 million people." Guo Jia said.

With a huge population, that's a big problem. No wonder Guo Jia was so anxious.

In fact, Zhang Yu already knew which country it was.

The only one with a population similar to that of China is India.

The population of China is growing, and the whole world is growing, so it is not surprising that India's population is similar to that of China.

Zhang Yu asked, "What's your name?"

"Tianzhu Kingdom."

Zhang Yu naturally knew it was India, but he didn't know what they were called during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Haha, this Qiao Xuan has done a great job. He thought that more than 50 million yuan was going to be wasted, but he didn't expect to earn it back."

Zhang Yu was happy. He naturally knew the existence of India long ago, but someone needs to go on an expedition to find out the waterway.

India Zhang Yu will go sooner or later, but it is not in the plan yet.

Now that someone has explored it, other fleets can follow the route directly to India.

There are many other countries along the way. I don’t know how these countries are doing now. When the time comes, depending on the situation, those countries that can colonize will colonize, and those that cannot do business will do business.

"Does Qiao Xuan know about this?"

"I don't know. We have run out of supplies, and many ships are damaged. They are docked in the south for repairs. Our spies will first find out the situation and report back." Guo Jia said.

This expedition fleet also suffered a lot of losses when they went out. When they came back, they docked in Guangdong, so Qiao Xuan has not received the news yet.

I thought they were wrecked at sea, but they all came back.

Now that he is back, the loss is not that big, and Zhang Yu is also happy.

Not to mention anything else, the large amount of compensation for those crew members can be saved.

Qiao Xuan still rents some boats, which can save a lot of money.

"Feng Xiao, I'm afraid we will organize a large fleet again." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said, "Zibu will definitely be in a hurry with you when the time comes. You will need to raise tens of millions to go to Australia, and you will probably spend a lot to go to Tianzhu."

Zhang Yu could imagine that if he asked Zhang Zhao for tens of millions more, then Zhang Zhao would definitely be in a hurry with him.

But going to Tianzhu is not immediately possible, even if you go, it's useless.

First of all, you have to establish contacts, then understand the local situation, and finally have business contacts.

But knowing the route, all this is not difficult.

"It seems that we have to use another method this time. The money must be collected. With a population of more than 200 million and a huge market, how can we give up." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu has an idea that they can't afford such a big market, and they can also make some money from the folks by cooperating with the folks.

First of all, Zhang Yu and his fleet can take their ships with them when they set off, and charge a certain fee, and the transaction is to collect a small amount of share.

In this way, part of the pressure is shared, and some businesses that Zhang Yu and the others can't take care of can also be done.

The big business Zhang Yu and the others must be in their own hands, and some small businesses are left to the people to manage by themselves.

In addition, they have to buy ships or rent ships when they go, and their own shipyards will also be able to earn a wave.
