After the big man finished speaking, more than a dozen listeners were hooked.

I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so miserable there.

Sun Ce also thought that Liu Bei should live well after laying down a few cities, especially since Liu Bei had been sending people out to recruit soldiers and horses.

Now I know that Liu Bei wants to recruit soldiers and horses in other places because there is no way to recruit soldiers and horses locally.

Liu Bei's settling-in fee is only a few dozen copper coins, which is good in other places, and can allow the family to live for a while.

But in Jiangdong, it is wrong, the people here have land to plant, the taxes are not high, plus do some other work, they can earn dozens of copper coins a month.

So, who will go to Liu Bei's life.

The most important thing is that when you become a soldier, you can divide the field, and the main battle army, a family can have five acres of land.

The defending army can have three acres of land.

Although Minbi does not have land, it can reduce some taxes.

Can Liu Bei give these?

Liu Bei couldn't give anything else except for a little settling-in fee.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and no one will go to Liu Bei to be a soldier in this comparison.

In this era, why soldiers are so easy to recruit, because there is no food, they can eat enough and live in the army, this is a very simple reason.

But not in Koto, which is close to food and clothing.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were a little frightened, they also planned to recruit soldiers and horses here and bring them back, but now it seems that they can't do this.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu listened quietly and heard all kinds of rumors.

"The status of the businessman here is so high, I don't know what Zhang Yu thinks, he is also a scholar." Sun Ce whispered puzzled.

According to the division, Zhang Yu is a Taishou, a general, or a marquis, in terms of rank, he is already a nobleman and the most noble group of people, but here, Zhang Yu actually elevated the status of a businessman.

The merchants here have no restrictions and are in the same position as everyone else.

There are still many puzzles, Zhang Yu has the money to repair houses for the people, distribute all kinds of farm tools, and also pay to help them repair water canals.

What's more, Zhang Yu even paid back the money to the migrant workers to help them repair the canal, and the farmers should help them voluntarily.

In fact, the people here are also very puzzled, Zhang Yu helped them repair the canal, the tools and materials were all paid by Zhang Yu, and they worked to eat, even if they paid for it, there was still a good salary to get.

But they can't do it if they don't take it, and they won't let them do it if they don't take Zhang Yu.

Although they are strange, they are normal after a long time.

In Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's understanding, when you have money, you must first recruit soldiers and horses, build more soldiers and horses, and then develop people's livelihood.

And Zhang Yu's approach seems to be the opposite.

If Zhang Yu goes all out to develop the military, it will be absolutely terrifying.

Learn more, the more Sun Ce and Zhou Yu feel that Zhang Yu is terrible.

The terrible thing is that Zhang Yu has such a high morale here, and when he returns, there will be an army of millions beckoning, how to fight when the time comes.

Through understanding, Sun Ce also knew about Changyou's militia policy.

Although Sun Ce had known about the existence of the militia for a long time, he didn't care about it at the time.

Now seeing that the people respect the militia so much and yearn for it, then it must not be simple.

So Sun Ce pretended to be a scholar, and he didn't have much knowledge, so he asked some people.

I don't know this question, there is also a lot of militia training here, and the conditions for selecting militia are stricter than the conditions for recruiting soldiers and horses.

These militias are trained by wounded veterans, and the training is usually very rigorous.

These militias can fight when they are pulled into battle.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both shocked, with such a system, once the war started, these people could even go directly to the battlefield.

Zhang Yu hid the soldiers from the people and did a good job.

Now Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are afraid, it turns out that Jiangdong doesn't take them seriously, and now the militia recruited is still limited, just let them help transport supplies, and help the city in the rear.

The militia was also only partially conscripted.

If necessary, the Koto region can immediately have hundreds of thousands of more troops.

It's horrible.

Sun Ce felt a little chill behind him.

The two settled the tea money, and then walked out of the teahouse with a heavy heart.

"Gong Jin, what we thought about before was too simple, thinking that consuming Zhang Yu's strength would buy us more time, but now it seems that if Zhang Yu recruits the militia, he can recover his strength in three months." After going back, Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.

"One wrong move, the next one is wrong." Zhou Yu also sighed.

The two sat opposite each other, and fell silent again.

In the past two days, Sun Ce handed over the affairs of the army to several veteran generals, and then he took him and Zhou Yu around to investigate.

The more he investigated, the more terrifying Sun Ce felt.

After two days, they had a deeper understanding of many of the systems in Jiangdong.

Because they only need to talk to a few people, and they can know a lot of things.

It's all public, it's just that no one has looked into it in the dark.

"Bo Fu, although Zhang Yu doesn't understand many policies, but from the perspective of the effect, it is really good, the people here are very rich, we can enter the people's homes casually, and the people's homes can come up with things to entertain, and there are even two families with meat."

"And the people here are a little fanatical about Zhang Yu, and they only recognize Zhang Yu."

"The so-called popular will is available, Zhang Yu is not only available, as long as he calls, I don't know how many people will follow him to fight."

Zhou Yu talked about the phenomenon they saw, but he didn't understand why Zhang Yu had this strength, why didn't he expand his forces and dominate the world.

Domination may be too early, but it is definitely possible to continue to expand.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Yu has been expanding over the years, and the expansion is very fast, but the domestic expansion is slow, and the external expansion is very fast.

The outside area, which now has a population of tens of millions, can also provide a large amount of copper ore and gold and silver ore every year.

What Zhou Yu didn't know was that it would cost money to get such support and popular support.

If you are truly good to the people, the people will truly support you.

Zhang Yu is to make the people rich, and when the people become rich, he can be strong.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce only saw the surface, if they knew how Zhang Yu paid, then they knew that Zhang Yu actually didn't have much money to raise soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu has always been on the defensive, and of course, he will also make a move when it is critical.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but it's enough for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to see the superficial things, they know that Zhang Yu is not something they can mess with now.

"Gong Jin, I'm afraid our strategy must be changed, if Zhang Yu wins in the north and the strength is still there, then even if we retreat, I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhang Yu can come to the door, not to mention that Cai Mao is still Zhang Yu's ally."

Sun Ce was afraid.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Then, there is only one way." ”

Zhou Yu paused, and said with a few rays of essence in his eyes: "That's with Zhang Yu...... Cooperate! ”
