"Brother Huang, the base I chose is here. Wujun!" Zhang Hao sent someone to call Huang Zhong and pointed to the map and said.

"Now the western northern borders are all rebellious, and the Central Plains are not peaceful. On the contrary, Jiangnan is a rare peaceful place. Although there have been rebellions in the past two years, they were quickly extinguished. Wujun is very close to a densely populated state such as Qing Xuyu. If the situation is chaotic, many refugees are willing and convenient to migrate.

At the same time, Jiangnan is full of miasma in the eyes of many people, and is a remote and desolate place where we have a stable environment to develop in the early stage. In the middle stage, due to geographical location, even if it rises up, the court will not pay too much attention to it at the beginning and have enough time to grow stronger.

In addition, Wujun is one of the locations of the official shipyards, and all the conditions for shipbuilding are sufficient to facilitate our development of shipping.”

Zhang Hao's condition for choosing a base is to facilitate rebellion and development, and he finally chose Wujun.

To be honest, Zhang Hao didn't know whether his choice was perfect, but he was poor at this skill, at least he felt that this place where he started was pretty good.

Perhaps those places with chaotic order are prone to gather people, such as Youzhou. But not to mention that there are a lot of attention in those places because of rebellion and war, the population is also a big problem.

Choosing a land in the south of the Yangtze River is not without flaws. Not to mention the difficulty of consolidating the north of the south, even war horses are relatively scarce in the south. Similarly, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is not very large now.

In this regard, war horses can be compensated through shipping and commerce, while in terms of population, they are recruited nearby through a stable environment.

Comprehensive considerations made Zhang Hao obsessed with the ship.

Huang Zhong nodded directly, "I will send someone to notify the family later and ask them to prepare. Then we can set off directly when we go back."

"Well. There are still some things to do before we leave. First buy some ships from the shipyard near Luoyang, so as to avoid the hard work of traveling through the ships. We must also send people to Wujun to get a front station, at least be prepared to settle down. At the same time, we must purchase enough food to avoid attracting too many refugees and being caught off guard." Zhang Hao said in a deep voice.

"The problem of food is probably not good. Luoyang has been purchasing grain from abroad for a long time because of its large population. Moreover, the price of food is still very high."

Zhang Hao suddenly realized that he ignored this issue. It seemed that it was more appropriate for people to purchase food from other places.

After agreeing on these matters, Zhang Hao and Huang Zhong selected two from the guards and asked them to return to Xiangxiang first. After bringing some personnel in Xiangxiang, they would go to Wujun to fight for the front station.

Zhang Hao and Huang Zhong brought Zhang Rang's recommendation letter and the staff sent by Zhang Rang to help, and directly searched several shipyards near Luoyang. After learning about some news at the shipyard, Zhang Hao was stunned.

He made a mistake or ignored some important things. First of all, the shipbuilding technology in this era was not as outstanding as he thought. Although China began to develop shipbuilding technology a long time ago, it was mainly used in inland rivers. Although there were sea ships during this period, shipbuilding yards around Luoyang could not be manufactured.

Secondly, the waterways in this era were not as convenient as later generations. The Grand Canal, which played an important role in ancient times, was not yet perfected. It was impossible to go directly south from Luoyang through the inland river to enter the Yangtze River.

After understanding these situations, the matter can only be over here for the time being. Zhang Hao brought people back to the inn.

"Is the ship important to Zigao's plan?" Huang Zhong asked curiously at Zhang Hao who was frowning and thinking.

"It's very important to say. If the Jiangnan land has a strong navy, it will have the power to protect itself. In addition, through shipping, it is convenient for commercial circulation. Moreover, through sea ships, you can trade directly with the north in exchange for war horses and other things. In addition, through sea transportation, we can easily land in various coastal areas during the war."

Zhang Hao nodded and explained to Huang Zhong why he valued shipping.

Perhaps shipping is not essential, but Zhang Hao believes that shipping has a great driving force for his plan.

"Didn't the shipyard manager say before that the Dahan's seaship construction base in Donglai County, and there must be a certain seaship there. We can just send someone there to buy it!" Huang Zhong said.

Zhang Hao nodded, "This is the only way now. I hope Zhang Rang's name works equally in Donglai. If it doesn't work, I can only consider going back and finding a way to build it myself. In fact, I had prepared to develop shipbuilding technology after I arrived at the base. After all, how can I not use it with more advanced technology? I bought some ships in advance to save time. After all, shipbuilding also takes time."

Zhang Hao had considered Huang Zhong’s suggestion before and was ready to do so. At this time, he was actually considering whether the base he chose was suitable.

If the base is placed in Donglai County, take advantage of the mature shipbuilding environment and talents of Donglai County. In addition, Qingzhou has not been peaceful in recent years, so I think there are many people to recruit.

But Qingzhou is a major place in the Han Dynasty. Some things happened to be the focus of the government and the public, and it seems that it is not suitable for farming and climbing scientific and technological trees. Despite the support of modern and abundant materials, Zhang Hao believes that he will still win in the end. But he is not sure whether the difficulties and obstacles in the process, and whether they will even waste time.

The more you think about Zhang Hao, the more you have a headache. This is the disadvantage of not having a sober think tank around you. Zhang Hao does not think he is stupid, but he does not look at his IQ highly. Even if he has knowledge that exceeds two thousand years, modern times have no guidance on similar things.

I had sent someone back to Xiangxiang to inform Mrs. Huang and went to Wujun to play the front station. It would be a pity if I did it.

Forget it, let’s do it for now. Then go to Donglai to have a look.

And after all, Zhang Hao believes that he has a great advantage. Even if there are some problems in choosing a base, he will be able to achieve his goal in the end.

Zhang Hao finally gave up thinking hard in this regard. He was really thinking about it. All kinds of messy theories echoed in his mind, such as the world like a chessboard that can dominate the four corners, and the advantages of various places.

"After a walk, I came to Luoyang and seemed to have no purpose." Zhang Hao looked at Huang Zhong and said with a wry smile.

Huang Zhongnei didn't know how to answer. Although he had the same feeling, at least he couldn't laugh at Zhang Hao.

"You can't come for nothing. Luoyang is a capital city, with many powerful and wealthy people. It just so happens that some 'treasures' are being taken here to exchange for enough funds."

Zhang Hao pondered. In this regard, Zhang Rang might be able to help introduce some wealthy families. In addition, if you want to sell treasures, you must always let Zhang Rang know that what you give him is the best. Zhang Hao, an overseas righteous man, respects him very much, so as not to make Zhang Rang unhappy and have messy things happen.

Zhang Rang now gives Zhang Hao a good face. Zhang Hao goes to visit and can see him as long as he is at home. He naturally will not refuse Zhang Hao's request. He must see Zhang Hao's goods in person, and it is natural to take some from them to help Zhang Hao experience the goods.

No matter how greedy the eunuch was, with his help, Zhang Hao's actions to sell treasures went smoothly. In the past few days, many powerful and wealthy people in Luoyang have begun to discuss these overseas treasures, such as glass mirrors, perfume and shampoo, etc.

Such treasures are obviously not suitable for paying for a lot of money, so a large amount of gold, silver and jade ginseng were concentrated in Zhang Hao's hands.

Due to manpower issues, such wealth is obviously not suitable to be placed here at will. Zhang Hao directly passed the time and space gate and asked several guards to send these gold, silver, jade ginseng to a modern villa. It just so happened that Zhang Hao's villa has a basement for storage.

Huang Zhong and these guards personally came to another world through the time and space gate. When they saw all kinds of incredible things, they were shocked. They inevitably respected Zhang Hao more and more.

With the popularity of these overseas treasures in Luoyang, something unexpected happened to Zhang Hao. That is, he, the "overseas righteous man", has gained a certain reputation without realizing it. Some merchants even came to the door to seek cooperation. They all guessed that Zhang Hao had unique technology.

Zhang Hao naturally would not refuse this. Although this means having to spend money, he can quickly get started with business and spread his goods throughout the Han Dynasty. If Zhang Hao develops himself, he doesn't know how long it will take. If he has mature experience and channels for these merchants, it will be much more convenient.

As for sharing some money, it’s nothing to Zhang Hao. After all, time is more important. And when Zhang Hao masters this world, what’s this money?!

Because he was busy discussing cooperation matters with these merchants, in order to save time, Zhang Hao sent another guard to ask them to go to Donglai to fight the front station. I thought that if the personnel sent by Zhang Rang would not suffer any losses.

This time, Xie Yang led the way, and went directly through the Yellow River and headed down the river to Donglai, which could save a lot of time.

After seeing off Xie Yang and the others, Zhang Hao welcomed a somewhat unexpected guest. It turned out that a celebrity came to visit him on his own initiative!
