Liu Bei's ability in civil affairs may not be that much better than that of ordinary noblemen, but Liu Bei's biggest characteristic is that he can put aside his stature...

Therefore, during this period of time in Jiaozhi, since Liu Bei decided to take his brothers to take root in this land, he waved his two-pronged sword and released his "good intentions" towards the local indigenous people.

Especially in front of Guan and Zhang, and with the blessing of the Han Iron Armor, the force of these indigenous people is just like children playing house. When they meet the real guys, they are at a loss and find it difficult to resist. Under such circumstances,

Surrender, or temporary compromise, has become the only way for these natives.

On this day, in the lobby of Liu Bei's military meeting, a huge "sea chart" was hung.

In the chart, several cities in Jiaozhi are marked, and at the bottom of the chart, it is relatively abbreviated, but even so, there is a large land area, which is obviously larger than the area of ​​​​Jiaozhi.

Be bigger.

Of course, this sea map could not have been drawn by Liu Bei himself, but was copied from Feiqian before Liu Bei set out. Of course, according to Liu Bei's level, it is considered good to be able to copy it like this. Only the sea map

Don't think too much about the details of the city, mountains, rivers entering the sea, etc., whether they are in proportion or not.

At least, at the moment, in Jiaozhi, when Liu Bei displayed it, it still shocked many local indigenous people. Especially these dark-skinned Zhan people.

At the same time, what Liu Bei obtained from Fei Qian was not only this copied sea map, but also Fei Qian's war model of using war to promote trade and trade to support war!

"To go from Ninan to the west, you need to climb over mountains and ridges. The mountains are high and densely forested. There have been few people inhabited for thousands of years. There are no suitable roads. You may not be able to get out even if you walk for several months..."

Liu Bei pointed to the marks on the chart and said, "But taking a boat is different. You can continue down from the south. There are large islands along the way and there are also people. With the help of sails and oars, you can rest in more than ten days."

You won’t have to worry about drifting on the sea, nor will you have to worry too much about supply issues...』

These days, from Ninan County to the south, there is simply a blank. There is no information, and there is no so-called county system. It is an unknown area over there, and even the indigenous people are not very clear about the situation there.

"The most important thing is that in these places," Liu Bei tapped on the chart to indicate that they were the key points, "it is said that there is rice that can be harvested twice a year! There are also rare treasures such as pearls, tortoise shells, spices, etc., which are transported naturally on the mountain roads.

It’s inconvenient, but if it’s carried by boat, even one boatload of goods would be worth a lot of money!”

Having rice that is harvested twice a year means that you can feed people and soldiers, and having these rare goods means that you can make a profit!

Shixie had a shipyard in Jiaozhi before, and also built some ships. However, Shixie's purpose of building ships was only to facilitate his own travel, and he never thought about expanding outward. After Liu Bei occupied Jiaozhi, he felt that this shipyard

It was too small, and there was so little wood stored for shipbuilding that it was simply not enough.

So where is the abundance of wood?

Naturally, it occupies a human area.

Pulling the Zhan people onto the bed, er, boat, and making these Zhan people willingly provide shipbuilding wood for free. After all, they are "partners". Isn't it much more cost-effective than Liu Bei having to spend money to go to the Zhan people to purchase it?

Although Liu Bei's description is quite attractive, the indigenous representatives and occupying leaders still have some worries.

After all, for these people, the big man is scary, but the sea is also scary. People die in the sea every year in coastal areas, either because they are too late to run when the tide is high, or because they canoe

Capsized in the sea, or suffered damage from a typhoon...

And Zhan people believe that the biggest problems faced by going overseas are not just these...

"Direction?" Liu Bei listened to the translator's laborious explanation and was a little confused, "What direction? Oh, I understand..."

Liu Bei turned around and smiled at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In this smile, there was a sense of relief for the questions raised by Zhan Ren, and there was also pride in being a big man.

Because the so-called sailing along the coastline means that it is impossible to stay close to the seaside all the time, because there are many reefs on the shore, and it will be ruined if you accidentally hit it, so generally speaking, you will sail about ten or twenty miles away from the coastline.

But in this way, when it is clear, you can still see clearly in which direction the land is. However, if the weather is bad, or a sudden strong wind blows the ship off the route, people who do not have the ability to discern direction will be in the vast sea.

Above, without any reference, it is a narrow escape!

Liu Bei laughed and said: "This is easy... Our people can "draw the stars" and can distinguish between east, west, north and south!"

According to the translator, I don’t know how fortune-tellers understand this so-called "star-pulling technique". Generally speaking, it should represent the power of the stars, or it may represent the moon or something. I am surprised, and inevitably feel a lot more in my heart.

A bit envious, and then a bit greedy.

After all, for Liu Bei and others, the technology of Zhanren is quite low, and this technology that can almost change their plight at sea is like a thirsty person in the desert seeing a clear spring.

"Want to learn?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, "It's not that I can't teach you... But if you learn it, your people will run away, wouldn't it be in vain for us to teach you? In this way, you can send people to learn, but
Chapter completed!
