The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 944 Two Silk Roads
Chapter 944 Two Silk Roads

The Roman Empire is definitely a super empire. The area of ​​the Roman Empire today is more than double that of history.

The population is even more than it is known in history.

Such a big empire is very dangerous when it is extremely aggressive.

After dealing with the defensive strategy, Zhang Yu and Guo Jia sat on the chair.

Zhang Yu made tea himself, made a cup for Guo Jia, and then picked up a cup of tea and drank it himself.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhang Yu had a basic idea, and then said: "This Roman Empire cannot be avoided, it is better to understand it earlier."

Guo Jia nodded, stroked his beard for a while, and then said, "My lord, it's really difficult to deal with without information. We really should go to find out first, but this also has disadvantages, and it may also cause the other party to understand our situation."

If the other party knew that the land of Huaxia was still in a state of warlord separatism, would they step up and send a large army to invade?

It is very possible, but Zhang Yu has long since given up on it.

So he said: "No matter what, we should first understand the enemy. The enemy is developing very fast and may invade us in a short time. Why don't we take the initiative to understand it first, and maybe we can find a way to delay their invasion."

Zhang Yu actually had other ideas. One was to set up obstacles from the only invasion channel of the Roman Empire, and the other was to influence the Roman Empire from several other directions.

It's very simple. Although the Roman Empire was powerful, it didn't develop the maritime industry. Even if it did, it didn't develop as fast or as well as Zhang Yu and the others.

Zhang Yu comes from later generations, and knows the general outline of the world and has a direction.

"Feng Xiao, I want you to go to the west. I want to go in person, but it's too dangerous to pass through the territory of Cao Cao and the Yuan family, or the territory of the Huns."

If Zhang Yu went to the west, whether it was through the grasslands, Jizhou, or Bingzhou, it would be very dangerous. If Yu Fuluo knew that Zhang Yu was going there, it would be perfectly normal for Yu Fuluo to send people to surround and kill him.

"What about going west?"

In the west, Zhang Yu is in the east, so far away, I really don't know what to do.

Zhang Yu said: "You go to Ma Yunlu or Ma Chao, ask them to recommend, ask Ma Teng to help us inquire about information in the west, and try to let them open a road to the west, and open a road called the Silk Road."

Zhang Yu went on to say: "This king wants to learn about the empire and gather information through business, and only business routes can drive more people there. There is no benefit, and who is willing to risk the possible dangers that are thousands of miles away. "

The opening of the Silk Road can closely connect the East and the West.

The information Zhang Yu wanted would naturally be passed on slowly.

After several years of operation, it will gradually understand the super empire in the West.

The Roman Empire expanded very rapidly, and its territory continued to expand.

After understanding Zhang Yu's thoughts, Guo Jia said: "Of course, my subordinates are willing to give it a try, but I don't know much about the Ma Teng Group, so I don't know much about it."

"I have some friendship with Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao. If Ma Teng can't be persuaded, let them help in private, just to open a business route, I believe they will not refuse." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia went to prepare for the trip to the west.

This time Zhang Yu gave Ma Teng enough face and let Guo Jia take the lead.

Guo Jia is definitely a heavyweight in the Jiangdong Group, and there are only a few people who can be at the same level as him.

Guo Jia is fully qualified to represent himself. Zhang Yu can't go by himself, so letting Guo Jia go is very important.

After Guo Jia left, Zhang Yu was still thinking about it.

"If I open the Maritime Silk Road, can I guide the Roman Empire to temporarily develop navigation?"

Zhang Yu has an inherent advantage for HNA. If he guides them to develop navigation, he may be able to fight the Roman Empire at sea, and he will have an advantage at that time.

But Zhang Yu only has a navy of [-] now, and he will expand it by then.

Expansion is not something that can be solved with a small amount of money.

In addition, if the Roman Empire develops navigation, it will also need to invest a huge amount of money, and it will also be affected at that time.

"It must be delayed until China is unified." Zhang Yu clasped his hands tightly and said firmly.

"In addition, immediately send people to establish a stronghold in South Africa to lure the Roman Empire to develop in southern Africa."

Now the Roman Empire occupies the Mediterranean coast, including northern Africa. If the Roman Empire knows that South Africa has a large number of gold mines and diamonds, it may go through the desert to snatch them.

However, it is not so easy to cross the whole of Africa to reach South Africa. Not only is it not easy, it may also be in crisis.

Zhang Yu wants to create a South Africa full of wealth and let the Roman Empire conquer the south.

Once the southern expedition is launched, they will not have enough energy to march eastward, and the pressure on China will be reduced by then.

In South Africa, Zhang Yu and the others took a few years to establish a stronghold first, so they will naturally have an advantage at that time.

After making the decision, Zhang Yu began to plan.

"First of all, we must continue to improve the technology and continue to manufacture ships suitable for long-distance voyages. Then, if we can build more strongholds along the road and pass one by one, it will be safer by then."

After all, it still requires money, a lot of money.

Zhang Yu needs more money to do this.

money.

In fact, Zhang Yu is very rich, and most of the daily expenses are paid by the money earned from salt.

The wages of all people, the money for the daily operation of the government, and the daily consumption of the army can all be paid with salt money.

But for military expansion, war, and large construction projects, these are not daily funds, so Zhang Yu needs to get extra money.

If there were no wars and so many projects, Zhang Yu would not have to worry about money at all.

"Rome, it would be nice to have a great empire on this planet."

The Roman Empire did not exist for a long time, but when it was strong, it was very strong, which made Zhang Yu a little worried.

Zhang Yu formulated the two Silk Roads and wanted to influence the national policy of the Roman Empire.

At this time, the Roman Empire was still attacking other parts of Europe, and northern Africa was completely occupied.

In addition, the Roman Empire has already paid attention to China, and has already started the Eastern Expedition. There are other countries on the way to the Eastern Expedition, and it will not be so fast.

But the time left for Zhang Yu should not be too much.

After making the decision, Zhang Yu had to squeeze out money to develop sailing no matter what.

At this time, Zhang Yu even wants to increase taxes. If he continues to increase taxes, he can indeed solve many problems.

"Oh, forget it, the people have suffered for too long."

Zhang Yu gave up the tax increase, so he had to get money from other places.

Zhang Yu felt that he had to collect money everywhere again, why was he so miserable.

Zhang Yu ordered the construction of two larger docks in Jiangdong to study and manufacture new ships.

At the same time, he ordered the southeast region to mine more and contribute more money. Of course, Zhang Yu would not continue to exploit them, and would also ship a large amount of daily necessities.
