阳光,沙滩,大海.

还有美味的海鲜.

Chishanpu, in the southeast of Wendeng County, Dengzhou, the easternmost end of the Shandong Peninsula, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, connected by mountains and seas, with spectacular sea views and beautiful mountains.

The most is on the top of Chishan Mountain, looking at the bay of harbor, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the blue water of the sea.

Mountains, seas, lakes and harbors are integrated into each other, and the harbors and fishing villages connect points to form a line.

The seaweed house with great local characteristics and the small fishing boats entering and exiting the harbor all amazingly the simple and primitive scenery here.

Such pure scenery is extremely difficult to find in later generations, but at this time, this is just a remote and backward term, an untapped poor place.

"Sanlang, as you told me before, I have sent someone to buy this large area of ​​land in Chishanpu. Because it is mostly saline-alkali land, the price is cheap. It only costs less than 3,000 guan in total. This harbor is now under your name."

Zhao Chiman was a man from Guanzhong and was also amazed by the blue sea. However, even though he was amazed, he still felt that it was not cost-effective to spend Sanqianguan to buy this land in this remote sea east.

这里有什么?

There is nothing, a small bay surrounded by mountains on three sides. This kind of bay was called Pu in the Tang Dynasty. The coastal areas are everywhere. The land on the seaside is mostly saline-alkali land and there are many storms. In addition, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are not a few acres of land and the road is not smooth. Zhao Chiman couldn't think of why Li Xiao had specified to buy land here earlier.

It’s not about buying land, but about buying land. Basically, I bought the bay of Chishanpu directly, and bought all the wastelands at the foot of the mountain surrounded by the sea on three sides.

Li Xiao climbed high and looked into the distance, looking into the east.

There, a distance between Goguryeo is not far away. From here, you can reach Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and the straight line distance is only 800 miles.

It is a thousand miles away from here to Jinan, two thousand miles to Luoyang, and three thousand miles to Chang'an.

It is actually only nine hundred miles from here to Wuzhenzhou where Li Xiao is about to take office.

As long as you can provide direct flights with customer service, in fact, it is far more convenient and faster to travel to Chishanpu to Silla Baekje Goguryeo than to Jinan to Luoyang to Chang'an. Especially in this era, the transportation capacity of sea routes is actually stronger and faster than that of land routes.

"This place will surely become a prosperous harbor in the future." Li Xiao said with a smile.

Today, this is just a desolate cove, but it has extremely convenient conditions. For example, the harbor of Chisanpu is extremely excellent, which is an excellent haven. In fact, it is the closest straight line to the Korean Peninsula.

Especially at present, the Tang Dynasty's offensive in Korea is mainly based on sea routes, and the navy first landed on the southwest coast of Baekje, the southern end of the Korean Peninsula, using this as the base camp for the attack. Therefore, Akayamaura, which is closer to Baekje, undoubtedly has great potential.

“我们为何不从登州启航呢?”

Dengzhou Port is about 500 miles away from Chishanpu, and is located in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, but one is in the northeast corner and the other is in the southeast corner.

Dengzhou Port is a world of difference between Chishanpu. Dengzhou Port is one of the four major seaports in the Tang Dynasty at this time, ranking alongside Guangzhou Port, Mingzhou Port and Hangzhou Port. It is also the largest seaport along the northern coast of the Tang Dynasty. Many sea ships from the south arrive directly to Dengzhou, where they enter and exit cargo.

As the first port in the north, Dengzhou Port is very prosperous. Although it is not as rich as Yangzhou, as a port, it is hard to get a harbor like Chishanpu.

Dengzhou is even a military port, with naval ships stationed all year round and a water camp of naval troops.

Dengzhou has always been the starting point for the southward shipping of northern sea cargo, but it has also been the starting point for the north to sail to Liaodong, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and Japan.

The largest maritime route in the north is to depart from Dengzhou Port, arrive at the Liaodong Peninsula along the Miaodao Islands, then continue to travel east along the coast to Goguryeo, and then head south along the coastline of the Korean Peninsula until you reach Silla and Japan.

The trade volume of this route is actually not smaller than the volume of Guangzhou Tongnanyang route.

"We will create a new world here. We will start with Chishanpu as our starting point and draw a new and grand poem. We will create a new route, and Chishanpu will surely become a new Dengzhou port."

Zhao Chiman was amazed by Li Xiao's ambitions.

"Is it possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, as long as you dare to think and do it."

Today's Chishanpu is indeed just a desolate cove, but with the new direct flight technology, with Li Xiao taking the lead, Chishanpu will become an important support point for the fastest routes between the Korean Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula.

The navy of the Tang Dynasty had already conquered cities and occupied the land in Baekje, and the imperial court had begun to establish Andong Road on the Korean Peninsula, setting up prefectures and counties here. The powerful and wealthy bureaucrats even sent people to buy land and build land, mines and yards. The place will become more and more busy in the future, with countless people and goods flowing in and out. This is the trend.

Li Xiao just saw through this early and decided to follow the trend.

It takes thousands of miles to sail from Dengzhou Port to Pyongyang, and it takes more than a thousand miles to sail from Dengzhou Port to Wuzhen Prefecture.

The shorter the route, the better.

There are several conditions to turn a desolate fishing village into a prosperous harbor. First, there must be new navigation technology that can directly sail in North Korea. Otherwise, under the existing navigation technology, sea boats will sail along the coast. When you go to North Korea, you have to go to the Liaodong Peninsula first. Dengzhou is in North Chishanpu and the captains naturally have no reason to run to this small fishing village in the south to set sail.

Secondly, the court's current military use of North Korea and its military victory, especially the court's strategy of attacking Goguryeo and destroying Baekje first, which gave Akayamaura a more convenient location.

In addition, the great enthusiasm of the powerful people in the Central Plains to enclose land in North Korea has given Chishan Pu a very good condition to open a port.

"When the nobles in Chang'an City were all competing to go to Baekje to enclose land and occupy mines, I didn't think about competing with them. North Korea's land will become more and more expensive, and it will take many people to farm and mine. Without the rich foundation of the nobles in Chang'an, it is not easy to do a great job in North Korea."

Li Xiao smiled, but he didn't have to go to Baekje to compete for land and mines.

He developed a harbor here, making it the entrance and exit port from Baekje Silla Goguryeo to Japan to Tang Dynasty, which is actually even more profitable.

It is true that if the harbor has a good sign in the future, there will definitely be noble people coming to share the profits, but at least if he takes action early, he will have more say and will get more benefits in the future.

The Xiaohaipu he bought for 3,000 yuan is possible in the future to sell 30,000 or even 300,000 yuan.
