Cai Wei is neither a woman like Cai Ke, nor a child like Huang Yueying, he is the scheming head of the Cai family. After listening to Huang Yueying's suggestion, he was not excited at all, but was full of doubts, and repeatedly asked Huang Yueying about what happened. What did Sun Ce do in the past two days, and what did he say to her.

Huang Yueying has been studying for Sun Ce for the past two days, but in fact, she doesn't spend much time by Sun Ce's side, and Sun Ce's interest in "Zuo Biography" is not very strong, and sometimes he actually falls asleep. He didn't communicate much with Huang Yueying, basically didn't talk about learning, and occasionally gossiped. As for the matter of raising food and armaments, it was not specifically said to Huang Yueying, but Huang Yueying's own inference and analysis.

Cai Wei was very satisfied and touched Huang Yueying's head. "Be careful, don't rush to give your opinion. My Cai family is already the meat in his mouth, and it's okay if we don't want to. Wait, wait until he hits a wall, and then we have a chance. ”

Huang Yueying comprehended. "What the eldest father taught is that Achu is too anxious."

Cai sarcastically teased: "Are you in a hurry, do you want to help us, or do you want to help General Sun?" ”

Huang Yueying's face flushed. "I ...... All want to help. ”

"It's excusable to help us, but why? Achu, don't forget, he has killed the people of my Cai family, and now he still occupies the Cai family. ”

Huang Yueying bit her fingers, her eyes flickering. "I think...... He was also forced to kill people without help, and if there was a way, he would not kill people. On the contrary, he wanted to save people, to save many people. ”

Cai Ke was a little unhappy. "You little girl, your elbows are turned out."

He often talks about the Yellow Turban Army these days, saying that those Yellow Turban Army who have lost their land and have no food and clothing are pitiful, and he wants to find a way for them to survive. You should know that his father, General Sun, started his family by pacifying the Yellow Turban, and if he didn't have a great heart, how could he sympathize with the Yellow Turban. ”

Cai Yan sighed. "The yellow turban is pitiful, aren't we pitiful. Our family business has also been slowly accumulated from generation to generation, and it is not washed by water. He just snatched it like that, what will we do in the future? ”

Huang Yueying also sighed, revealing a trace of confusion in her dark eyes.

Money talks. The gold in the workshop greatly stimulates the motivation and initiative of the craftsmen. They accomplished the impossible. Before sunrise, the three ships were not only repaired, but also fitted with ramming horns, ready to return to the battlefield.

After Sun Ce inspected it, he was very satisfied and immediately ordered someone to put the gold down. Each worker had one gold, and the three foremen added another gold, making a total of one hundred and twenty-seven gold, leaving seventy-three pieces of gold cakes. Sun Ce ordered someone to call a blacksmith to build a collision angle, and one of them was given a gold. The blacksmiths held the gold in their hands, unable to believe their eyes, and even forgot to thank Sun Ce.

As vassals, they have worked in the Cai family for so many years, and it is good to barely have food and clothing, when have they ever taken so much money.

There was a blacksmith who couldn't believe the gold in his hand, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and then looked at the clear tooth marks and couldn't help crying. As soon as he cried, the others couldn't help crying, and a group of big men snorted and cried, which made people sad.

Sun Ce was also a little sad. The subordinates and vassals are not so easy to do, they usually work hard, and they have to work hard when they fight, and how much money they earn is from the master's family, and they have nothing to do with half a dime. What's even more tragic is that they don't even have personal freedom, and they are not much different from slaves and maids in essence.

Don't worry, Lao Tzu is here to liberate you.

Sun Ce thought this not only because of sympathy, but also because he wanted to stimulate the subjective initiative of the craftsmen and really win them over from the Cai family. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for the powerful to support him wholeheartedly, and he could only find a way to win over these hopeless peasants and workers. A person who doesn't see hope doesn't rebel and doesn't take the initiative to think about how to do things better, but if you give them a little hope, they can burst out with formidable power. Even from the perspective of interests alone, it is cheaper to win their support than to win the support of the powerful.

If the revolution is to succeed, it is necessary to be good at using the power of the people, and this is the result that history has proven. Like Sima Yi, who relied on the powerful power of the family to seize the world, even if he succeeded, he would not be able to last long. In essence, the family and Haoqiang are not only supporters of the regime, but also competitors of the regime, and centrifugal forces are very destructive. The nearly 200-year history of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a living example. The development of the manor economy allowed the family to have more right to speak, but the imperial court was dragged down by internal and external troubles, and Emperor Ling of Han could only sell his official position in order to raise money to fight, and he was gone on the road of collapse.

"See?" Sun Ce patted the box. "There's a lot of money in there, do you want it?"

No one spoke, but countless pairs of wolf-like eyes stared at the gold, and it was about to melt. This is real gold, and whoever doesn't want it is a fool.

"I'll give you a month to prepare, I'm going to hold a sword competition, and whoever can make the best sword will be rewarded. The first place will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan; the second place, 5,000 yuan; 3rd to 5th place, 3,000 yuan. ”

Sun Ce immediately took out the prepared competition regulations and asked Huang Yueying to read them to the craftsmen. It was written by him himself, and it was all in the vernacular, to make sure that these craftsmen could understand it. After all, the weapon of criticism must be borne by the criticism of weapons, and without good weapons, wanting to win a battle is almost like dreaming. He knows advanced technologies such as frying steel, but he can't do everything, if he can't stimulate the enthusiasm of more people, won't he become Zhuge Liang, do his best, and die?

The craftsmen were suddenly excited. Although the blacksmith was in high spirits, the carpenters were also a little unconvinced, and immediately someone shouted: "General, do we have a chance to do carpentry?" They forged the ramming horns, but we built this ship, and the general can't forget us. ”

"That's it, that's it." The red-eyed carpenters screamed. Originally, they were the first to work, but in a blink of an eye, the blacksmiths overwhelmed them, not only got the reward, but also had a competition a month later.

Sun Ce smiled. That's right, don't be lifeless. He lifted his hand and pressed it down gently.

"Don't worry, don't worry, how could I forget you. We're going to fight today, and it's likely that we'll capture a few more ships, so rest well and get ready to get started. ”

"General, do we have any competition other than mending the warship?"

"Absolutely." Sun Ce smiled even brighter.

Huang Yueying's heart moved, she glanced up at Sun Ce, and was immediately fascinated by his bright smile. Of course, there are not many people who are beautiful, and even fewer who smile so charmingly. Sun Ce is not like those children of the family who should pay attention to his image, he is very open, revealing a neat white tooth, like a child-like man without a city, there is a direct appeal to people's hearts, which makes people involuntarily trust him and get close to him.
