"Condolence..."

Guan Yu, dressed in a green robe, sat on the top of the lobby, staring at the wooden slip in his hand and muttering.

Liu Bei entered Yizhou and reached a consensus with Liu Zhang. got the news of Zhou Yu's death, and for the alliance between the two families, Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

Let Guan Yu go to offer condolences and express his sincerity.

In the letter, he also vaguely expressed Zhuge Liang's meaning.

"There must be action in Jingzhou!"

However, these are not in Guan Yu's consideration. In his eyes, whether it is Jingzhou or Dongwu. It's just a bunch of junkies!

When the time is ripe, he will personally lead the army forward. Wherever you go, you must be invincible, and you still need to move these little ninety-nine.

Throwing Mu Jian aside with disdain, Guan Yu touched his long hair and snorted coldly.

But after all, this is Liu Bei's military order, and even if he is reluctant, he has to carry it out.

So, before heading out. Guan Yu personally dispatched troops and did a series of defensive work against Xiakou.

……

Let's talk about Jingzhou.

Under Xu Tian's careful management, Jingzhou's agriculture, sugar industry and fishery entered a period of development at the same time.

Their strength is constantly increasing!

On this day, in the largest sugar workshop in Xiangyang City.

Lu Tianba looked at the batch after batch of sucrose in front of him, which was constantly produced.

He couldn't help but beat wildly, he had already seen the horror of this thing.

After the first batch of cane sugar was produced, at the behest of Xu Tian. It is distributed free of charge to residents, soldiers and others in Xiangyang City.

At first, people looked at this clod of earth and didn't pay attention to it.

There are many people who even think that this is something that they have never seen before, and that they are not in good condition and are given away for free, will definitely not be a good thing!

Many people try to eat it for the first time, but they think that they don't eat it for free, as long as it is not poisonous.

However, it was the day after it was distributed. In less than an hour, the inventory that had accumulated before disappeared at an unimaginable rate!

Even when there was no sugar to distribute, a large number of people were gathered!

If it weren't for Xu Tian's early arrangement, the army would have been dispatched. I'm afraid that the two waves of people who get it and those who don't get it will even fight!

Lu Tianba, who was at the scene at the time, was shocked, he had never seen such an exaggerated scene after so many years in business.

What's even more exaggerated is that in today's Xiangyang City. A piece of sucrose weighing one or two has been fried to 200 yuan, which is ten times the price of a pound of grain!

It was only then that he really understood what Xu Tian called starvation marketing.

This is hunger marketing, and it is not an exaggeration to call it starving marketing!

He shook his head and broke free from the shocking memory.

Even so, he looked at the cane sugar in front of him. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, sighed lightly, and looked at the hands behind my back not far away. Xu Tian, who had a calm face, walked over slowly.

"Sir!" Lu Tianba bowed his hand, looking at Xu Tian's eyes with a faint hint of fanaticism.

"Do you know why I let you participate in this from start to finish?" Xu Tian turned his head and looked at Lu Tianba with a smile.

suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and swallowed hard. Lu Tianba endured to keep himself from being too out of shape, but the tremor in his voice still showed his state of mind at the moment.

"First... Mr. wants to hand over the management of cane sugar to the Lu family! ”

Lu Tianba arched his hand and said, but the hands he held were faintly trembling.

"That's just one of them!" Xu Tian no longer looked at Lu Tianba, turned around and walked towards the door. Lu Tianba followed, bowing his head and following closely.

"This time, I want you to go to Soochow with me!"

Outside the workshop, looking at the busy crowd, Xu Tian said lightly.

"Me?" Lu Tianba was stunned.

"You can say no!" Xu Tian spoke softly. "This time, there may be danger. It's life-threatening! ”

"Tianba is willing!" Lu Tianba knelt down on one knee excitedly, clenched his fists and said. "Sir's business, even if Tianba goes to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate!"

"That's it! Stand up! Xu Tian's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice. Be aware of who you are! Don't kneel down at every turn, what majesty is there in front of your subordinates? ”

Lu Tianba was shocked and hurriedly got up.

It was only then that he realized that he was guilty of his actions. attracted a lot of attention, although it was only a flash, but it was indeed inappropriate to go to what Xu Tian said!

"It's a Tianba gaffe!" Lu Tianba lowered his head and said softly.

In fact, it is no wonder that Lu Tianba is like this, Xu Tian handed over such a huge industry of cane sugar to him. This could no longer be described as mere gratitude to him.

When I learned that there was an opportunity to repay one or two, and the other party was very hesitant. He couldn't think of any other way than that.

"You follow Shen Du to Soochow and bring this batch of cane sugar." Xu Tianda looked at Lu Tianba meaningfully and said slowly. "Do you understand what I did in the city?"

Lu Tianba is so smart in this regard, his inner thoughts turned. Immediately understood what Xu Tian meant, and he looked at Xu Tian with a bright eye.

"Tianba understands! Never fail to live up to the trust of Mr.! ”

Xu Tian smiled and nodded...

………

Five days later...

According to Xu Tian's orders, the mission formed by Shen Du set off as scheduled.

Due to the addition of Lu Tianba's caravan, the group was hundreds of people. Mighty came to the dock!

From a distance, Shen Du, who was walking at the forefront, saw Xu Tian standing on the dock at a glance.

At this moment, Xu Tian was dressed in white and stood on the dock with his hands behind his back. The evening breeze caressed and the robes fluttered, making Xu Tian look like he had an ethereal feeling.

Shen Du waved his hand, and the team slowly stopped.

He turned over and dismounted, and nodded to Lu Tianba beside him. turned around and walked towards Xu Tian alone...

"Shen Du greets the lord!" Shen Du came to Xu Tian's side, bowed respectfully and said. "What else does the lord have to explain?"

Xu Tian withdrew his gaze looking at the river, turned around and helped Shen Du up.

Gently patted Shen Du's shoulder, Xu Tian didn't say a word.

Suddenly, he clasped his fists at Shen Du and bowed.

"My lord! This..."Shen Du was shocked, startled by Xu Tian's sudden move. Speak sharply. "I can't help it!! How dare the lord let him be like this! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hurriedly helped Xu Tian up.

"Obey the rules! (Shen Du, the word abides by the rules) this mission to Soochow can be described as full of dangers. The future of Jingzhou is entrusted to abide by the rules! ”

"The lord is serious!" Shen Du took Xu Tian's hand with some excitement and said softly. "Even if I Shen Du die, it will be difficult to repay the grace of the lord. Please rest assured that this trip will definitely complete the tasks delivered by the lord! ”

After speaking, Shen Du's eyes firmly bowed again.

……

Shen Du stood on the bow of the boat, looking at Xu Tian on the dock and gradually moving away.

He muttered inwardly. "Lord, I will spend my whole life and never let ......you down"
