Cai Mao was afraid that Zhang Yu would equip the navy, so he asked tentatively.

Zhang Yu immediately said that the navy was too expensive, and it didn't make money, so it wasn't cost-effective at all.

"Master Cai, don't talk about the navy, even if it is the army, it will always be enough, if others don't come to mess with me, I rarely need the army, but if others want to mess with me, I have interests to earn, but I won't be polite." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu's meaning is very clear, he just wants to get rich and live in Jiangdong in peace.

Of course, if someone sends it to the door, Zhang Yu will naturally not be polite.

In fact, how can Zhang Yu be so kind, it's just his own strategic needs.

Cai Maohu was suspicious, didn't believe it, but felt that it was possible.

Zhang Yu had never taken the initiative to attack others before, but if others wanted to beat him, they could only break their heads in the end.

Zhang Yu regards wealth as his life, he has a lot of money, but the army is not the most among the princes.

Zhang Yu can be said to be the richest of all the princes, but the size of the army is very small.

In fact, if Jiangdong and Youzhou are added up, Zhang Yu's army is not a lot, but the two places are too far apart to be added like this.

Cai Mao finally chose to believe Zhang Yu.

"Okay, if Master Zhang can build a good enough warship, I'll have it all by then." Cai Mao also said proudly.

It is impossible to cover it all, but Cai Mao estimates that the production of this chapter feather is limited, and there will not be many ships by then.

Even if Zhang Yu builds too much, then he will set up more water armies, go down the Yangtze River, and control the entire Yangtze River Basin, the benefits are unimaginable.

Thinking about it this way, Cai Mao has no discomfort.

Zhang Yu laughed secretly in his heart, it is better to buy it, it is better to buy it than to rent, in the future life, it is Lao Mei's trick to fool others.

And Zhang Yu just wanted to fool Cai Mao and ask him to pay to help him maintain the shipbuilding industry.

The two did not continue to discuss the matter, and it was better to talk about inconsequential things under their own ghosts.

After talking about things, Cai Mao had a grand banquet for Zhang Yu here.

The next day, Cai Mao helped Zhang Yu organize a fleet.

Jingzhou also has a large fleet, but it is not so quick to call it up temporarily.

However, Zhang Yu also has a fleet of his own, and he is on his way at this time.

It didn't arrive because Zhang Yu wanted to blackmail Liu Biao, if Liu Biao knew that Zhang Yu had wanted to leave a long time ago, I am afraid he would not have given Zhang Yu so much money.

Therefore, Zhang Yu waited until he left Xiangyang to send someone to inform the fleet, and they walked for a few days before the fleet set off, and it was not so fast yet.

After Zhang Yu knew that Cai Mao was guarding against him, he didn't have much contact with Cai Mao, and they were busy with their own affairs.

Cai Mao has just finished her busy work, and she still has a lot of things to do.

Zhang Yu stayed in Jiangxia.

In the past few days, Zhang Yu has also been active, secretly arranging many people.

These people slowly became Cai Mao's people through different channels and in different places.

Zhang Yu himself counted that there were more than 400 people who had been arranged recently, and many people were on their way to come.

Other places are important, but Jingzhou is undergoing a big change, and this change can be used by itself to install a large number of people into it.

A few days later, the fleet arrived, and Zhang Yu and the others could finally go back.

When I returned, the procession was huge, and I brought a large number of boxes.

Cai Mao, who saw him off, was also blushing for a while, these are all wealth, a lot of wealth.

Wealth of more than 500 million.

With this wealth of 500 million, anyone will be blushing, but his master is Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Successfully loaded the ship, no one dared to beat Zhang Yu's idea.

This time, with a huge fleet, the Yangtze River was unusually crowded.

Cai Mao looked at Zhang Yu's huge fleet and was a little distracted, and he thought a lot in his heart.

If one day Zhang Yu also wants to fight for hegemony and control the entire Yangtze River, he doesn't know if he can resist it.

But there is no need to think so far now, as long as he controls Jingzhou, he will have enough wealth to build a desperate water army.

Cai Mao has this confidence.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Yu had a broader vision and had been preparing for the navy for a long time.

Zhang Yu and they loaded the ship for a day, mainly because the dock was too small, and only three ships could be docked at a time, and many people and things could only wait on the shore.

Finally, after the loading was completed, Zhang Yu set off with infinite emotion.

On the ship, Zhang Yu set up tables and chairs on the deck and feasted a few people on them.

It's just that it's very cold on the deck in winter, fortunately Zhang Yu has wine, otherwise who would still blow the cold wind with him, although the surrounding is blocked by reinforced screens and the like.

"Everybody, a toast." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu was invited to the banquet by the Xiahou brothers, as well as Cao Ang, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei, while Han Dong and Xia Dong were one in front and one in the back, taking care of the entire fleet.

The Xiahou brothers, Cao Ang, and Yu Ban had never seen such a huge ship, and the fleet composed of these huge ships, they were full of emotion.

A few people toasted.

"Two Xiahou brothers, and Brother Cao, what do you think of my fleet? It can transport 100,000 troops at a time, not to mention anything else, as long as it is a coastal place, it is a place where we do business. Zhang Yu said.

Brother Xiahou and Cao Ang don't think so, I'm afraid that the place where the fleet can reach is the place where you attack.

But it doesn't matter if you think about it, although the fleet can transport 100,000 troops at a time, it can raid many places.

But 100,000 troops mean huge supplies, and if there are no supplies along the road, it is equivalent to a lone army going deep, even if 100,000 troops can do it.

Cao Cao is not near the sea, it is still far away, so there is no need to worry about it.

At the same time, they can't understand Zhang Yu, who obviously has strong strength, but they just want to make money in business and don't want to make progress.

They don't know that Zhang Yu actually has the largest territory and the largest population, but it is distributed overseas, as well as Youzhou and Jiangdong, which have been cut by force, but in fact, the territory and population are more than all the princes.

A few people briefly chatted about some things, and then Zhang Yu said: "This Cao Cao doesn't seem to be in a hurry to redeem you, so you can stay in Jiangdong, and when Cao Cao wants to redeem it, let's talk about it again." ”

The three of them rolled their eyes at Zhang Yu together, and it was obviously Zhang Yu's lion who opened his mouth.

At the earliest, Cheng Yu had already sent someone to contact Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu's asking price was too high, and Cheng Yu judged that they were not in danger, so he didn't negotiate with Zhang Yu for the time being.

They don't have so much money, because they are facing a two-front battle, all kinds of materials are in short supply, and the money is not enough to spend, so there is really no way to redeem the three of them at this time.

Now Cao Cao has no ability to redeem them, although the war has just ended.

But Cao Cao suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to recover.

Now he is collecting money to recruit soldiers and horses, where can he accept Zhang Yu's blackmail.

A few people were drinking and chatting on the boat, and the time passed relatively quickly.
