The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 265 Layout of Jiaozhou in advance
Establish a sugar cane production base and a sugar factory in Jiaozhou.

It can definitely greatly reduce the cost of money, time, transportation, etc., allowing them to obtain more profits.

But the aristocratic family in Jiaozhou is definitely not willing to see Liu Yi raking in money on their territory.

Everyone has pink eye.

As a local aboriginal, they are xenophobic, and the Jiaozhou family will never allow them to become bigger and stronger.

Maybe if they directly seize their bases and sugar fields and take everything as their own, then everything will only be cheap for them.

Liu Yi had to guard against this kind of risk!

If Liu Yi wants to make a difference in Jiaozhou, he must first solve the Jiaozhou Shishi.

The ancestor of the Shi family in Jiaozhou was a native of Wenyang, Lu State, who moved to Jiaozhou to escape the turmoil in the last years of Wang Mang of the new dynasty.

Under the leadership of Shici, the Shi family became a local wealthy family. Shici was appointed as the prefect of Rinan by Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that the Shi family is deeply rooted in Jiaozhou.

If Liu Yi wants to realize what Zhang Ling said, he has nothing more than these options.

Either distribute some benefits to Shishi and cooperate with Shishi.

Either clear Zhang Rang, let his subordinates become the masters of Jiaozhou, and send a large army to settle in.

If the Shi family obeys, that's all. If not, the Shi family will be eliminated to frighten the rest of the Jiaozhou family.

It just makes a corresponding supplement for Gongsunqi's layout.

Take Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou first, and then take Jingzhou...

How this problem will be resolved is still open to debate.

However, it should not be delayed for a long time.

After all, Jiaozhou and Jizhou are one south and one north, and the round trip is long, so there are certain difficulties in transportation.

It is not cost-effective to consume a lot of material and manpower and virtually increase his sugar production cost.

Moreover, there were many bandits in ancient times, and many security factors had to be taken into consideration.

This is not the first time he has faced the choice between risks and benefits.

Wealth is in danger.

In the face of huge benefits, Liu Yi ignored some risks for the time being.

Take one step at a time.

It is true that there are many bandits and bandits, but whoever dares to rob him is no different from committing suicide.

thought here.

Liu Yi said to Zhang Ling one after another:
"Without further delay, Yuanhong should open up the purchase channel of Jiaozhou as soon as possible.

Just ask how many soldiers and horses you need, and I will let Yuan Jian fully cooperate with you. "

"Here!"

Zhang Ling and Liao Hua agreed in unison.

They understood Liu Yi's mood very well.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it took a lot of time to go to Jiaozhou to escort sugarcane back and forth.

For those who want to mass-produce white sugar as soon as possible and dominate the sugar industry, they don't want to delay for a moment.

I can't wait to go to Jiaozhou immediately to open up channels, and try to suppress the price of raw materials as much as possible!
Business occupies the first place in Liu Yi's heart.

Money is the prerequisite for all work.

Whether it is to improve the weapons, equipment, and food of the troops, to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Or improve the living standards of the troops and the people, etc.

It can be said that there are countless places to spend money.

No one will dislike more money!

Especially after Guan Hai led the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to defect.

While the strength of Ngai Hing City was further improved, Liu Yi also felt a little bit of pressure.

After ordering Dianwei to carefully select Guan Hai's troops, the total strength of all troops still reached [-].

Including [-] main troops and [-] reserve troops.

Among them, [-] main forces went out with Gongsun Qi and Guo Jia, and a new [-] main force was selected from Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

To support [-] soldiers is not a small amount of expenses!

If you don't continue to expand the channels for making money, everyone can eat him up with just one mouthful, let alone further enhance the combat power of the army.

Considering the time cost, Liao Hua proposed:
"My lord, I think that in order to improve efficiency, we can take Wa Liu to Jiaozhou to make sugar on the spot.

In addition, the products can be shipped directly to the states and counties for sale, and there is no need to ship them back to Ngai Hing City for sale.

It is only necessary to purchase the supplies needed by the troops from the profits and feed back Ngai Hing City. In this way, the development of Ngai Hing City is bound to go further.

As for the Jiaozhou scholar family and other aristocratic families, you can give courtesy first and then fight, and the most effective deterrence is to use force..."

"it is good!"

Liu Yi only thought for a moment before agreeing to Liao Hua's proposal.

Anyway, he needs to win Jiaozhou sooner or later.

In a few years, Jizhou will become a place where Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and other big shots fight, so there is no need for all the troops to stay here.

The layout in Jiaozhou in advance is also very good.

Occupying Jiaozhou will also facilitate the expansion of his strategic route.

Whether it is transporting supplies for the later occupation of Yizhou, or using Jiaozhou as a base, it is a good springboard to cooperate with the troops to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou Tianfu in the north, and compete with the princes for hegemony.

No matter how bad it is, you can use it as a retreat!
"Yuan Hong is in charge of recruiting trustworthy people to prepare for sugar production, and Yuan Jian is in charge of selecting troops.

If you need anything, just ask. "

Liu Yi said solemnly.

"Here!"

Liao Hua was overjoyed when Liu Yi agreed to the proposal, and with Liu Yi's affirmation and authorization, he could boldly let go and do something big.

Before, he envied Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao for having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but now he also has the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds!

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to handle this matter well and live up to my lord's trust."

"Yuan Jian and Yuan Hong have worked hard! Go! I trust you!"

"Here!"

The two left excitedly, without mentioning their actions.

I saw Zhang Ling and the two who left in a hurry.

Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it's nice to have capable subordinates, which can save him a lot of worry.

Looking enviously at the back of Liao Hua and the two leaving, Dian Wei couldn't help but grabbed a handful of white sugar and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling a little sad.

Gongsun Qi, Guo Jia, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Li Dagui, Liao Hua, Zhang Ling and others all got the chance to perform.

But he can only stay by Liu Yi's side, unable to make contributions.

Liu Yi noticed Dian Wei's loss, patted him on the shoulder, looked at Guan Hai and Zhang Mancheng, and said meaningfully:

"Troubled times are approaching, there are plenty of opportunities to gallop across the battlefield, kill enemies and make meritorious deeds.

You only need to sharpen the weapons in your hands, and I still count on you to expand the territory for me and compete in the world! "

"Here!"

Dian Wei was refreshed when he heard the words, and spoke first.

Guan Hai and Zhang Mancheng were unwilling to express their opinions one after another.

……

After taking some white sugar, Liu Yi didn't send it to Zhang Ning to taste immediately.

It's too tired to eat white sugar.

We should find a way to use white sugar to make more delicious food.

There are many sugar crafts.

He can't do sugar painting, sugar blowers, etc. There is no machine for cotton candy.

Therefore, it is most suitable to use white sugar to make some desserts or pastries, but the novelty is a little less.

What kind of food should be made to take into account both novelty and deliciousness?

Think about it.

In the end, Liu Yi thought of a simple and easy-to-use snack, a snack full of childhood fun.

While pleasing Zhang Ning, he hopes to provide a new snack for people and children of this era.

Although not everyone can afford it right now, it is always possible to afford it in time.
