On the coast of the East China Sea, the capital of Donghai County, Haizhou, Guangrao. Wang Yuwen, who was patrolling military affairs, was now looking into the distance on the mountain outside the city, looking at the vast sea in the east. The sea breeze blew on his face, bringing the breath of the sea.

Looking at the blue sea in front of him, Yu Wen Wen felt relaxed and happy, and personally experienced what kind of mood Emperor Wu of Wei was when he wrote "Watching the Sea".

Emperor Wu of Wei was Cao Cao. Of course, this emperor's title was later posthumously named by Cao ** and his son Cao Pi. Cao Cao was also the prime minister of Han at that time. At that time, Wuwan and Yuan Shang, the three northern counties in Wuxi were in rebellion, and Cao Cao personally led his troops to quell the rebellion.

After the war quelled, the army passed by Jieshi Mountain on the coast. Cao Cao climbed the mountain and looked into the distance. Facing the sea (Bohai), he sighed that "the journey of the sun and the moon is like leaving it; the stars and the Han are brilliant, like leaving it inside", and wrote the famous work of "Viewing the Sea" for thousands of years.

Now, all prefectures and counties under the Xuzhou General Administration have been recovered by the official army. Marshal Yu Wen of the marshal advanced east from Woyang to inspect Haizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou General Administration. Looking at the vast sea in front of him, he had the same mood as Prime Minister Cao hundreds of years ago.

But he knew himself and did not dare to compare himself with Cao Cheng's literary talent. Although now is the best time to write poetry, Yuwen Wen did not intend to "draw" any famous poems for his own use to make his literary reputation higher.

If he is at his own level of "ancient poetry", he really wants to write a poem at this time, it is probably "The sea! You are all water!" This level is not only a destruction of scenery.

After a while of the sea breeze, Yuwen Wen turned around and walked back. Guangrao where he was actually an isolated island located in the sea. The island is dominated by mountains and is a distance from the land.

The Qushan Mountain in Haizhou Prefecture is located on the west land. Haizhou was originally the jurisdiction of Donghai County during the Han Dynasty. The island where Guangrao County is located was formerly known as Yuzhou or Yuzhou, and it looked across from Haizhou. The place where the Qushan Mountain in the prefecture is located is the entrance to the Huai River.

During the Southern Dynasty, due to a series of civil strife, the land of Qingyan was occupied by the Wei State, and the border of Song State moved south to the Huai River. Therefore, Song State established Qingzhou (established by Chongqing) at the entrance of the Huai River (Huaikou), which was an important stronghold at the easternmost end of the Huai River defense line, and later renamed Haizhou.

Haizhou is located on the coast, and there is a large island on the east sea, called Yuzhou. It travels hundreds of miles around and has white deer on the island. It can also be reclaimed and fertile fields can be boiled and salt can be obtained by boiling sea water. It is very rich.

Because Yuzhou was not connected to land and was not afraid of the Northern cavalry attacking, the State of Song built a city in Yuzhou, resettled refugees and set up soldiers, and placed Yuzhou under the jurisdiction of Haizhou to support each other, and the two states were under the jurisdiction of one governor (Governor of Haizhou).

After the Zhou State took Haizhou, it changed the island east of the sea to Donghai County, and changed the name of Haizhou Prefecture Qu to Qushan.

Although the name of Haizhou appeared in the Liu Song Dynasty, the history of governing the Qu Qu was much longer. When the King of Qin swept Liuhe and unified the world, Qin Shihuang ordered people to erect stone tablets in Qu and use it as the East Gate of Qin (the East Gate of the Qin Empire).

For Yuwen Wen, Donghai County is now a tourist destination. He took advantage of the military inspection to "travel" here, take a look at the "famous attractions" in "Journey to the West" - Huaguoshan Shuilian Cave, and then examine the current situation of the salt industry in Haizhou.

Why can't I use it to make money with the salt field I built with my ability?

Yuwen Wen thought so, so he had to take advantage of the convenience of official business to take the lead in the famous salt farm layout in this world and gain a place in the sea salt production area.

Lianghuai Salt Field has been very famous since the Han Dynasty. The so-called Lianghuai is Huainan, Huainan, and Huainan Salt Field is Yancheng, while Huainan Salt Field is the salt field north of Huaikou and south of Shandong, and the coastal areas of Haizhou are also included.

Lianghuai Salt Farm was a treasure pot that Yangzhou salt merchants made their fortunes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Huaibei Salt Farm has advantages over Huainan Salt Farm: relatively less rainfall and long sunshine.

Of course, the production of sea salt at this time was still "boiling salt", while Guangzhou Fanyu had already started "salt drying". Yuwen Wen felt that if he had been in the Huaibei salt field with long sunshine and relatively little rain, he could expect that he would inevitably make a fortune in the future.

Yuwen Wen could not dominate the Huaibei salt farm, but he could get a piece of the pie and obtain another stable source of salt for merchants from Huangzhou and even Shannan. The families behind these merchants will naturally rely more on him to make a fortune.

Salt trading has been huge profits since ancient times, but using this tangible benefit as a link, the network of relationships woven by Yuwen Wen will be stronger. After all, it is not beneficial to just talk big, and it is impossible for others to work hard for themselves.

On the second day after Yuwen arrived in Haizhou, he chose a good coastline. Today he looked at Guangrao and chose another section of coastline. After some operation in the future, he could openly boil salt.

When the situation stabilizes, the two salt fields will take the lead in promoting the salt drying method. At that time, the salt can be loaded on the ship and upstream along the Huai River to supply the Huaixi region.

This distance is more than one thousand miles, and if you enter Huangzhou, it will be about one thousand five hundred miles away. The sea salt along the coast of the ridge is nearly two thousand miles away. However, after passing Dayu Ridge, the caravan can take a boat to go down the Gan River, saving nearly five hundred miles.

Therefore, Huai Yan and Guangyan are not incompatible with water and fire for Huangzhou. However, for families doing business everywhere in Huangzhou, Jiangzhou and even Shannan, with two sources of goods in hand, how happy it is to make money?

Sitting on the sea boat returning west, Yuwen Wen turned around and looked at the island where Guangrao County was located. He saw that the island located on the sea and sky merged with the white clouds in the sky. He couldn't help but think of a word "mountains and seas and clouds."

Haizhou is part of Lianyungang in later generations. However, at this time, Yuzhou on the sea was not yet connected to the land, so the prototype of Huaguo Mountain in later generations was just a mountain on the isolated island of Yuzhou, named Cangwu Mountain.

When the Yellow River seized the Huai River during the Song Dynasty, the rolling Yellow River water entered the East China Sea at the mouth of the old Huai River. The geographical term "Yellow Sea" was found after the sea water was dyed yellow. The large amount of silt caused the bay to gradually accumulate, making Yuzhou gradually connected to the land, and the sea turned into mulberry fields.

The entrance to the Huaihe River in later generations had been changed, but now Huaikou is a very important port. When the entrance to the Yangtze River was controlled by the State of Chen, Yuwen Wen made arrangements in Huaikou and could easily establish two trade routes.

Cargo from Shannan, Ba, Xiang and Huangzhou crosses the Dabie Mountains and enters Guangzhou, flows from Huangshui into Huai River and goes down the eastward to Huaikou. You can choose two trade routes to go to different regions.

One route is from Huaikou to Hainan and Fanyu to Guangzhou, and the other route is from Huaikou to the sea to the east and directly to Japan. The ships that travel back and forth on the two routes can greatly promote the circulation of cargo in the Huaixi region, Huangzhou region, Shannan region and even the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

At that time, countless families of all sizes will survive by relying on these trade routes developed and operated by Yuwen Wen. Whoever dares to be unable to get along with the King of Xiyang will be unable to get along with these families.

This is Yuwen Wen’s layout. He should do everything possible to "open source" and use irresistible interests to attract more people and groups to gather around him, practice his "internal strength" well, and wait for the day when quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The sea breeze was strong, Yu Wenwen turned into the cabin and sat alone, took out two portraits from his arms, and looked at them carefully through the sunlight from the window.

These two portraits are portraits of two women, respectively, drawn by realistic sketching methods, with a high degree of restoration. They were ordered by the butler Li Sanjiu to secretly draw them, and then sent people to Yuwen Wen to travel thousands of miles.

Yuwen Wen received these two paintings and secret letters the day before yesterday. The two women in the paintings were indeed outstanding in appearance and each had their own charm. One was the Empress of Chen, Zhang Lihua (posted title), and the other was the Princess Chen Ningyuan of Chen.

When he passed by Jiankang, he met Zhang Lihua. He had never seen the Princess Ningyuan before. Now, looking at the portraits of the two beauties, Yuwen Wen did not feel hot at all and had dry mouths.

Yuchi Chifan was still hiding in Yecheng, and Yuwen Wen was thinking about having a new love. He sighed, crumpled the two portraits into a ball and threw them out of the window, and then looked at the sea view outside the window in a daze, with bitter mouth.
