Chapter 262: The Surprising Liu Bei

After this matter was confirmed, Zhang Yu was a little impatient, and immediately wrote a letter overnight to let Xi Zhicai and them prepare.

And Zhang Yu didn't plan to go anywhere, he went directly to Jiangxia County, prepared to coordinate by the Yangtze River, and completely confirmed the matter.

"My lord, these are our fleets, our cargo." There were more than a dozen big ships sailing on the Yangtze River, and a steward stationed in Jiangxia County said with some excitement.

Not to mention that they were excited, Zhang Yu was also excited.

More than a dozen large ships docked, carrying loads of goods.

There was an army on the shore that took over the cargo directly, and when it was unloaded from the ship, they carried it away.

These soldiers were sent by Cai Mao, and Zhang Yu directly presided over the place and immediately cooperated.

With Zhang Yu here, everything went smoothly, and the fleet from Huiji County directly delivered the goods to Cai Mao.

Part of it was to be transported to Luoyang, and Cai Mao would arrange another person to transport it to Luoyang, while part of Zhang Yu did not plan to be transported to Luoyang and sold it directly to Cai Mao at the agreed price.

Among them, there was also a boatload of salt, which was smuggled by Zhang Yu and his family, and then handed over to some local people to be disposed of as private salt.

Now it doesn't have to be like this, it was directly given to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao has also been very concerned these days, although he is in Jingzhou, he has been paying attention to the situation in Jiangxia.

There are constantly fleets arriving in Jiangxia, and after the ship arrives, the goods are directly handed over to the people of the Cai family.

Zhang Yu is not afraid of the other party's cheating, he has countermeasures.

A few days later, Cai Mao received the goods.

In one of the courtyards of Cai's house, there were piles of goods.

"Immortal brew, tea, there is still so much volume, haha."

Cai Mao was also very excited when she saw a lot of goods.

"All this table salt?" Cai Mao said when she saw the salt piled up in a sack again.

"Yes, the head of the house, these are table salt."

Cai Mao waved his hand to open the bag.

A subordinate of the Cai family immediately moved a sack over and cut it with a knife.

Immediately the snow white salt was revealed.

"Wow~"

"This, this, is this table salt?"

"Why is it so white?"

"And there are no impurities."

A bunch of people were amazed.

Cai Mao also rushed up when he saw the salt and grabbed a handful of salt.

"How is this possible, how can there be such white table salt, and there are no impurities." Cai Mao said in disbelief.

Cai Mao thought that she had made a mistake, so she grabbed some salt and put it in her mouth.

After confirming that it was table salt, Cai Mao was shocked, followed by ecstasy.

"Quick, quick, take a few more bags and open them."

Hearing Cai Mao's words, several people hurriedly opened a few more sacks.

The salt in the sack is a quality.

These Cai Mao were completely shocked.

The reason is very simple, in the entire ancient history of China, there were almost a lot of impurities in table salt, and there was even a lot of sand in it.

But Zhang Yu's salt has no impurities.

In fact, the method is very simple, that is, to re-dissolve the produced table salt, and then re-make it into table salt, and do it several times to remove the impurities.

But this simple technology will not be used for hundreds of years.

Cai Mao was extremely excited.

"Haha, the quality of this salt is actually thirty percent lower than the market price, even if it is three percent higher."

Cai Mao can imagine that he took out this table salt and then swept the entire market in Jingzhou, and no one could compete with him at all.

At that time, he can completely dominate the entire salt industry in Jingzhou.

The stakes are too great to imagine.

I'm afraid that the money earned in a year can be compared to the money that the emperor sells to officials.

Imagine for a moment, even if you raise 100,000 soldiers and horses with this.

At that time, Cai Mao will be the emperor of Jingzhou completely.

"Go quickly, send someone to block the dock of Jiangxia City, where will the military be directly in charge in the future, and let Huang Zu do a good job."

Cai Mao already had very big ambitions at this time, so he asked people to strengthen cooperation with Zhang Yu.

The intention to cooperate is very clear.

The cooperation between the two sides can be further strengthened.

Zhang Yu's letter had been sent to Huiji County as soon as possible, and Huiji County had also mobilized many large ships to carry a large amount of goods westward and enter Jingzhou.

A month later, it was still in Jiangxiakou, Jingzhou.

On the dock, there was not a single idler in sight, and the surrounding area was surrounded by troops for miles.

Jiangxiakou Huang Zu is in the list, the difference is that this Huang Zu, as Jiangxia Taishou, can only stand behind the two of them.

And in front of him are Zhang Yu and Cai Mao.

Cai Mao sold the first batch of goods, which sold out in a few days, earning a lot of benefits.

Today is the day when dozens of large ships of goods are transported from Huiji County, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yu have to witness this moment in person.

A large fleet of ships appeared on the wide river.

Cai Mao was thrilled, with such a large amount of goods, he could fully support an empire.

Cai Mao is already planning, wanting to buy a large number of officials like Zhang Yu, and replace all the officials in Jingzhou with his own people.

At that time, he will be the soil emperor of Jingzhou.

In fact, this is also what Zhang Yu hinted at him, asking Cai Mao to control Jingzhou.

Cai Mao's control of Jingzhou will inevitably make history turn, but Zhang Yu doesn't care, as long as Cai Mao has been cooperating with him, he has many ways to penetrate the entire Jingzhou for several years, or even more than ten years.

The short-term history will not be changed, and in the long-term history, Zhang Yu believes that he has full wings, and then he can control the whole situation.

A large ship docked, loaded with a load of cargo.

When the cargo on the ship was unloaded little by little, Cai Mao's face was about to burst into laughter.

These are the most sought-after goods that can be sold quickly and become real money as soon as they arrive at the store.

And this time, Zhang Yu's fleet will also bring back a part of the proceeds.

Cai Mao received huge benefits, and she was also very happy, paying millions of dollars.

"There is money to equip the army, there is just no extra money." Zhang Yu looked at the goods and said.

Why is there no extra money?

Because Zhang Yu is building a large ship, shipbuilding is too expensive, but Zhang Yu has to build a large ship, and no matter how much money is spent, it has to be built.

On the same day, Cai Mao happily invited Zhang Yu to a banquet in Jiangxia, and also invited several people to accompany him, giving Zhang Yu face.

This time, there was no animosity between the two at all, and they were both very enthusiastic.

Zhang Yu happily accepted the banquet.

When he went back, Zhang Yu was still excited, and with money, he had a large amount of arms.

Back at his residence, Zhang Ning was waiting for Zhang Yu there.

"Brother Zhang Yu, there is news from Luoyang, saying that it is about the candidate for the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden."

Hearing the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, Zhang Yu immediately took the encrypted letter.

"What? Liu Bei. ”

Seeing the letter, Zhang Yu was taken aback and cried out.

"Brother Zhang Yu, is there a problem with this Liu Bei? Do you know him well? Zhang Ning saw Zhang Yu's surprised look, so he asked.

There is a problem, there is too much of a problem, how did this Liu Bei become a candidate for the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden.
