"dad!"

When Xiao Long'er saw Liu Hao, he rushed out with a whoosh, and the Black Dragon King followed closely and floated in front of Liu Hao.

"master!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Black Dragon!"

"That's right, sir!"

After Liu Hao interacted with the Black Dragon King, he turned his attention to Cao Cao with a smile on his face;

"Mengde has had a good journey!"

"Hahaha, I've met Mr. Liu!"

"It happens to be within the port. Let me take you for a walk. The construction of the port will not only make it easier to circulate goods, but it is also a great project that can feed the people. If Meng De has the opportunity in the future, he can try it in the coastal area!"

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

When Cao Cao saw the scale, he wanted to back down. The project was too big, dozens of times larger than the palace he built in Xudu. When he thought about the cost, he backed down.

"Mengde, don't think too much about anything else. Gongda has been in Liaodong for a long time. If you meet him, you can ask him personally about the port. If there are any costs and benefits that Gongda doesn't understand, it's not too late to ask me again!

"

Cao Cao nodded, feeling that he really needed to consider the issue of income. But Liu Hao knew that the income would not be that fast. After all, in a feudal society like the Three Kingdoms, productivity had not been released at all, and goods were still scarce. How could there be so many things to transport in a short time?

Even if Cao Cao thought about it, he would not be able to afford it. The most he could do was build a small port and test it.

And Liu Hao just wanted to let Cao Cao build a small port. If it could berth merchant ships, he could sell more goods to Cao Cao's territory, and he could also buy the extra output in Cao Cao's territory, regardless of the situation.

The trade gap between the two sides and the benefits brought by light radiation to the people are enough to make Liu Hao happy.

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

Cao Cao was most concerned about the military zone, but Liu Hao took the lead in taking him on a tour of the civilian area. After this tour, Cao Cao had forgotten about the military zone and concentrated on calculating the benefits.

Regardless of passenger transport, trade is difficult to understand at once. The fishery that Cao Cao stared at made him excited. Ships of sea fish were transported into the port. A rough calculation can reveal the catches brought by a fishing boat out to sea.

It’s tens of thousands of kilograms. It’s all meat, and it’s even more food. There are only dozens or hundreds of people on a ship, and it takes ten days and a half to produce so much food. Compared with farming, it’s nothing.

Huge profits.

With these thoughts, Cao Cao didn't bother to visit the naval area. When Liu Hao saw it, he took Cao Cao and his party to find a seafood restaurant nearby to try it. After tasting it, Cao Cao already made up his mind.

Understand that the sea is a huge treasure, just waiting to be unearthed by yourself. The investment may be huge, but compared with the income from food, it is only a small amount.

"Mengde, seafood is perishable. With the roads in your territory, it is very difficult to spread the food!"

Only then did Cao Mengde realize that the ground was hard and that it was necessary to build the road. He looked at Liu Hao and wanted an explanation. Liu Hao did not hide his secrets and pointed out the cement directly.

Cement, in ancient times, was a construction artifact. It could not only build roads as simple as building roads, but Zhucheng was the real leader. Cao Cao immediately understood the idea, and he couldn't wait to get this craft.

This was originally part of Liu Hao's plan. If his products from Liaodong want to be sold everywhere, transportation is the biggest constraint. Once cement roads are laid in various counties and counties, the price of the products will fall, and the sales volume will definitely increase tenfold and a hundredfold.

There is no reason not to support it.

In Liaodong today, there are already many locally trained cement technicians, and they are more than capable of supporting Cao Cao. However, the status that should be given to the craftsmen needs to be carefully considered.

When the Aristocratic Family is in power, it is impossible to pry it open all at once. This requires subtlety. The penetration of each industry is the right way. With a product like cement, the improvement of the status of technicians has become a matter of course. Even if the Aristocratic Family is thinking

If there are criticisms, they have to be suppressed, and this gap will inevitably appear.

Moreover, in Liu Hao's Confucianism and Taoism practice system, Gongjia has long been promoted in major factories. The skills of these craftsmen are matched with the Gongjia practice system, which is the enhancement of technical level. If you want to learn this high-level technology, you must enter Gongjia.

Over time, the foundation of Gongjia was built.

Liu Hao did not discuss these words with Cao Cao in detail, but settled on the technical support and the status of the technicians as scholars, and the matter was over.

The navy's visit, the navy from the earth accepted Cao Cao's inspection. The strong sense of ceremony made Cao Cao unaware of the seriousness, and he was very happy in his heart. The straight military uniforms also made Cao Cao feel very gorgeous, and he gave up due to too many people.

But in my mind, I kept thinking about that heroic appearance, which made me itchy.

Dalian New City does not have a city wall structure, which seemed very unique in ancient times. Fortunately, the people living in Dalian City today are mostly farmers and fishermen from the surrounding areas. They have never experienced the security of city walls and do not make any fuss.

Cao Cao and others were very uncomfortable with it. In such a big city, with its connections in all directions, once troops and horses attacked, there was no way to resist. They wanted to ask several times, but suppressed them. After the visit, they were alone with Liu Hao.

It was only in the carriage that I asked about this doubt.

"Mengde, Dalian City is located on the coast, far away from the nomads in the north, and there is no need for defense. If those nomads attack here, Liaodong's defeat will be determined, so what is the point of having an extra city wall?

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

"Aren't you worried about bandits calling?"

This is the biggest problem that Cao Cao considers. In ancient times, there were so many bandits that it was impossible to exterminate them all. But in Liaodong, it is simply impossible. No matter how deep you hide, Xiao Long'er takes the Black Dragon King for a walk, and you are still exposed.

It's so clean. How can there be any habitat for bandits in Liaodong today?

With political clarity, exploitation has become less common, and land annexation has become more unsustainable. When we go out of the mountains, we can arrange land cultivation and provide free education. Why hide in the mountains and do those beheading transactions?

After Liu Hao explained it, Cao Cao was very envious. Without bandits, how many troops and horses could be saved was what he really envied.

In ancient times, every county needed to garrison troops to defend against these possible bandits. Don’t look at three hundred and five hundred, but after counting so many counties, if one hundred thousand were spread, it would not be able to stir up much waves at all, and it would cost a huge amount of money to support them.

I have not made much achievements, and I have to take care of myself. In short, I feel all kinds of discomfort.

The carriage carried a group of people walking on the wide cement road at a very fast speed. It separated left and right and moved straight forward. Cao Cao passed through the window of the carriage and calculated the speed in his mind. Thousands of miles in a day was nothing. How fast could he mobilize his troops on such a road?

Ten thousand soldiers and horses can be used as 20,000, which not only saves costs, reduces the population, but also cultivates more land, a win-win situation!

It was too late today, so the group did not go directly to the passage, but entered Dalian City to rest. The resting place was not a mansion, but a hotel, a garden-style hotel. It was open to the public on weekdays. Even if Cao Cao arrived today,

There are still three or five businessmen staying here.

Cao Cao was also very interested in this model. After Liu Hao explained it, Cao Cao always looked at Liu Hao with a somewhat confused look, clearly lamenting that Liu Hao had fallen into the eyes of money;

Liu Hao didn't explain this collision of ideas too much. He just reported the income lightly, which made Cao Cao very excited. He never thought that the income from a hotel in one year was actually more than the tax revenue of the most prosperous county in his hands.

There were so many more, which he simply couldn't understand.

This hotel is of course an exception. It is close to the port and has the most luxurious decoration. It also has lighting unique to the earth. The price is naturally the highest. Where have the wealthy businessmen from ancient times experienced the luxury of a flush toilet?

The electric light was like daylight, which shocked them even more. It didn't matter how much money they spent. After experiencing it, they would never forget it. Every time they came, they had to stay for one night. This made the revenue of this hotel comparable to that of a hotel.

county seat.

Entering the hotel lobby, Cao Cao finally understood why there was such a profit, with mirror-like marble, tall glass walls, and exquisite and luxurious ceiling lights;

No matter what, all the treasures in the Central Plains were prized by aristocratic families, but these treasures were used for decoration, and they were decorated on a large scale. This level of luxury dazzled Cao Cao.

When he entered the suite, Cao Cao was dazzled by the soft mattresses, fine bedding, etc. He compared it with his own palace and felt a little embarrassed to see others.

The hotel is originally a villa, and the largest one is suitable for hosting Cao Cao. It is also to allow Cao Cao to experience the environment from the earth in advance. Don't wait until the time comes to bring Cao Cao to the earth and be regarded as a bumpkin.

After placing Cao Cao, Liu Hao left. In the living room, Cao Cao sank deep into the sofa. Opposite him, Guo Jia almost groaned with pleasure. It was too uncomfortable to sit on his knees. This sitting method was what he, the prodigal son of Guo, wanted.

Guo Jia was already thinking 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 any merchants be willing to stay?"

Cao Cao doesn't care about businessmen now. This way of making money makes him jealous. A hotel is just the income of a county. How many more can we create a large army?

"Lord, I expect that there will definitely be merchants staying there. However, instead of building a hotel, it is better to sell these decorations from Liaodong to aristocratic families, such as the sofa we are sitting on!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he weighed in his mind whether he would be willing to buy it if it were him. There is no doubt that it is just a question of how much money he is willing to pay.

"The hotel still needs to be built. Without a hotel, how can those aristocratic families experience the fun?"

"My lord is a great talent!"

"Hahaha……"

Cao Cao was very smart, knowing that he could not produce yet, so he simply became a middleman, taking this opportunity to squeeze out a lot of gold and silver from the aristocratic family.

"Fengxiao, what do you think about the road construction?"

"My lord, regardless of other matters, if we build a concrete road to Baima and compete with Yuan Shao for the north in the future, not only will we be able to mobilize troops very quickly, our food and grass will be more secure, and we only need to reserve a small amount on the front line!"

"Great good! You can do it not only to the north, but also to Jingzhou in the south, and to Xiliang in the west!"

In fact, there is another thought in the minds of both of them that has not been explained, that is, with these concrete roads, the suppression of various places will be more effective, and the generals who hold military power will be more scrupulous, which will have an extraordinary effect on the centralization of power.

, just for this reason, it is worthy of extensive construction.

In Cao Cao's mind, he had already thought about buying more slaves to build buildings, which would consume the labor of the people and would be criticized by literati, but the slaves would not be a problem;

He also knew that the aristocratic families did not like such a project. Once the cement road opened into the county, the emperors of those aristocratic families would have to restrain their minds a lot. After the information became more accessible, many of their actions would be known to the central government. This would be a sign of the hard work of the people.

Well, the opposition is absolutely terrifying.

That night, Cao Cao thought a lot. The small Dalian opened his eyes and broadened his mind. The biggest gain was that he found that he was not only limited to the land cultivated by the people, but also the sea.

Fishing and merchant traffic both have great potential.

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

Guo Jia, who has an extraordinary IQ, discovered another world in Dalian. Everything was completely different from what he had learned in the past. Many of the discoveries he had made in the past were vulgar and even rebellious, but he was just so vulgar.

, but now it is full of vitality. The changes in it made him begin to doubt what he had learned.

Different from Cao Cao's observation, Guo Jia looked more at the people. He found that the happy smiles on the faces of the people he met were something he had never seen before. They were happy from the bottom of their hearts and excited about the future.

The longing and yearning, the fire of hope in the people's confidence has been ignited. If there is really an invasion from outside, these people will definitely pick up the weapons in their hands and join the resistance army as soon as possible. The real city wall of Dalian is these people.

Early the next morning, Liu Hao entertained Cao Cao in the hotel cafeteria. A high-end hotel, naturally a high-end cafeteria. Breakfast was similar to the Earth Hotel. It was a self-service mode. You could get whatever you liked. A dozen chefs were making their own snacks on site.

It's fresh and diverse.

Xiao Long'er himself was waiting for the oven. He ate too much and it was not something that a dozen chefs could handle. Little Pudding had already learned how to grill meat by himself. He calculated the time and opened the oven. The strong aroma attracted everyone.

Everyone present looked at the scent and saw Xiao Longer's small figure running towards this side carrying a piece of meat that was ten times bigger than him.

"Dad, the oven is so slow!"

"Okay, daddy will help you bake it together!"

"Dad is the best!"

"Can you cut some of these and give them to Uncle Cao to eat?"

"Um...okay!"

Xiao Longer was still a little confused, but seeing Cao Cao's shining eyes, he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Dragon King!"

Liu Hao smiled and explained Cao Cao's thanks;

"These meats are at the level of a True Immortal. A True Immortal is also a level above the Saint level. It is your first time to eat it, so you should not eat too much!"

The eyes of Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others were brighter, and they looked at Xiao Long'er with a strong light. The real dragon's food was of such a high level, so he had to taste it.

He cut out half of it and gave it to everyone. Xiao Long'er had already started eating the rest. It was done very quickly. Liu Hao had to stop eating, took Xiao Long'er out of the cafeteria, and started barbecuing in an open space.

, the piece of meat he took out was as big as the entire villa. Cao Cao and others who saw it through the window were stunned, and they all exclaimed that real dragons can eat it.
