Chapter 1003: Ready
After that, Liu He went to Yizhou Island to inspect again, and found that this Yizhou Island is now extremely prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, live a leisurely and rich life, the island is rich in products, rice fields are lined up, and there are tall coconut trees everywhere, this beautiful island scenery is really fascinating.
"Your Majesty, after several years of development, the population of the island has reached as much as 500,000, and the people who were originally under the direct jurisdiction of our Han Dynasty were less than 20,000 people, and there are many indigenous barbarians who rebelled in order to protect their so-called land, and were beaten by our army to eliminate the resistance, and now they have learned to plant rice, know how to use Jiangdong plows, and harvest more and more grain, participated in the scientific examination, and now everyone is proud of being a Han person, and the previous stubbornness has long been thrown out of the clouds. ”
Seeing that Liu He was very satisfied with this scene on the island and nodded frequently, Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward to explain the development of Yizhou in recent years to Liu He.
Liu He was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "Yizhou is a treasure island, which has many valuable resources, and it will be developed well in the future, it will become a prosperous seaport, we can trade with other regions here, communicate with each other, and this is also an important military base for our troops to deal with the Japanese country, our army can support the war against the Japanese for so many years, if there is no material support from Yizhou, it is unimaginable, Gongjin has developed Yizhou Island for so many years, sparing no effort, it is really a great achievement." ”
Because Liu He did not travel with a Huangluo umbrella, the local people did not know Liu He's identity at all, but these people knew Zhou Yu, they saw Liu He standing with his own governor, and naturally knew that this person's identity was extraordinary, so a middle-aged man boldly stepped forward and enthusiastically introduced to Liu He the changes that have taken place on Yizhou Island in recent years, and expressed his heartfelt support for Dahan's agricultural and commercial policies.
"This gentleman should be from the mainland of the Han Dynasty, right?" After getting Liu He's affirmation, the man said even more excitedly: "Look at Mr. dress, he should be from a big city, right?" I don't know if you've ever been to Chang'an? ”
"Oh, my home is in Chang'an, and there is a big mansion there, and I have married more than a dozen wives and concubines in the big mansion, and I have hired a lot of men, all of whom are extremely good." Liu He was very complacent about his life in Chang'an, and said with a smile.
"Chang'an...... This is really enviable, I really hope that one day I can set foot on the land of Chang'an and see how prosperous the feet of the Son of Heaven are? The middle-aged man's face was full of envy and said very emotionally.
"Hehe, don't be so envious, when the war is over, you can go back and forth to Chang'an freely, there, you will see what a real prosperous place is, as long as you have money, you can also live there for a long time, like me, own a big house, marry a few wives and concubines, and live a comfortable life."
Liu He smiled at the middle-aged man and comforted.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he was a little gloomy, and sighed softly: "I don't know when the war will end?" Now we don't even dare to go to sea, let alone go to Chang'an, those damn Japanese slaves ruined the prosperous and rich scene of my Han Dynasty, it's really damned, it's a pity that I have a lot of blood, but I have no strength or strength, I have no strategy, otherwise I must go to the army and help the Han soldiers defeat those damn Japanese slaves. ”
But he saw Liu He open his mouth and said: "Don't worry, now the millions of alien coalition troops are all wiped out except for the Japanese country, even if the Japanese country is lonely overseas, but it is only a dying struggle, and my Han million-strong army will not be able to completely defeat the Japanese slaves in a long time, so that they will never dare to peep at my China." ”
"Well, I believe that as long as there is a pillar of the country like the Governor of Zhou, and there are loyal and brave soldiers of my Han Dynasty, my Han will definitely be able to achieve the final victory, and I will go back to donate money and materials, although I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but I also have to make my due contribution to the anti-Japanese war!"
The middle-aged man saluted Zhou Yu, bowed to Liu He, and then said goodbye and prepared to leave.
But seeing Liu He stop him, he said with a faint smile: "Your property is not easy to come by, you don't need to donate to the army, the governor of Zhou Dadu doesn't need it, with my Han's current materials and goods, even if it is supported for another thirty or fifty years, it will not be a problem, so you only need to give birth with peace of mind when you go back, and at the same time advise the villagers, as long as you believe in my Han, it will be the greatest help to my Han." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Liu He, but said loudly, "What are you talking about?" Although it is true that there is no shortage of materials in my Han Dynasty, how can we, as merchants and people of the Han Dynasty, watch the imperial court fight and remain indifferent? Without the stability of the country, where would we be waiting for the current situation of agricultural businessmen being injured? As a generation of giant businessmen, Mr. has the courage to brave the war to shuttle back and forth between the mainland and Yizhou, does he not have the slightest heart to serve the country? Could it be that the gentleman went to the country and the nation because of the little wealth he did not give up? Before, I saw that the Governor of Zhou was polite to you, and I was so disrespectful in my heart, but now it seems that I have seen the wrong person! Governor Zhou, don't believe this kind of floating people who only know rhetoric, it is these people who have destroyed the good atmosphere of our Han Dynasty, so that the war has been postponed to this day but has not been won. ”
But I saw Zhou Yu smile and said: "Lao Guo, this time you are looking at the wrong person, this one is by no means the kind of floating person you said......
"Don't defend this kind of person, as the so-called tiger and dragon are difficult to draw bones, knowing people and faces but not hearts", the villager known as Lao Guo pointed at Liu He, still with an angry face, and said loudly.
I saw Zhou Yu laughing and said: "Lao Guo, the reason why you are like this is mainly because you don't know the identity of this person, you might as well tell you the truth, this is the son of my Han Dynasty, if you say that the world is most worried about the situation of my Han Dynasty and is worried about the pacification of the rebellion of foreign races, it is none other than Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not allow you to donate money and materials, it is a piece of love, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by you." ”
"Huh? This, is this true? That old Guo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed to Liu He to the ground, and said in a panic: "The country people, I haven't seen the holy face of the Son of Heaven, I am talking nonsense here, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame." ”
Liu He gently helped the old Guo up, and said with a smile: "It's not like this, I should thank you, in fact, it is precisely because of patriots like you that I rely on the greatest strength of the Han to defeat the Japanese slaves, but the donation is really not necessary, I am ready to go to war, the war will soon start again, and the defeat of the Japanese will be just around the corner!" ”
When Lao Guo heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay! Since His Majesty said, the villain naturally believes, the villain still has a reluctant request, and please ask Your Majesty for permission, the villain has a nephew who is not a weapon, although this kid is only fifteen years old, but has always admired those famous generals who are loyal to the country, hoping to have the opportunity to serve the country, his name is Chen Lan, originally a native of Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, and later came to Yizhou with the villain to do business, the villain saw that he was extraordinary in martial arts, and he had knowledge at a young age. ”
