Chapter 118: Saving Sun Ce and making a small suggestion

Yang Xi did not take the initiative to put forward any conditions, he asked the other party to tell all the needs and benefits that he could give him, and then negotiate.

Sun Ce and Cheng Pu, in this regard, are clearly at the kindergarten level.

Sun Ce asked Yang Xi to provide 5,000 soldiers with living supplies, of course, the premise was that Sun Ce had so many people that he sometimes came to take it himself.

The condition given to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce was that a port could be established in Danyang County and that it would provide convenience for merchants.

When Yang Xi heard this, this daring was good, which was equivalent to being able to let himself go straight to Huanglong.

In the eyes of Sun Ce and Cheng Pu, this is a blank check, because who belongs to Danyang County still doesn't know.

But Yang Xi knows that this is not a blank check, and this will be a fact within a year.

Yang Xi still had conditions, so he pretended to think.

Sure enough, Sun Ce said: "If Brother Chenhe still has any inconvenience, just mention it." ”

Yang Xidao: "Bo Fu filial piety and high righteousness, after the Jiangdong Tigers, a word is true, but there is another condition, that is, after cooperation, any member unit of my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce will do business in Danyang County, this tax ~!" ”

Yang Xi didn't say any more.

Sun Ce said: "Taxes naturally don't have to be paid, after all, Brother Chenhe has already helped me feed five thousand soldiers and horses, which can only be offset by some taxes." ”

"Good! Then it's a deal! ”

Listening to Yang Xi's decision, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the two sides began to chat about the next matter, and when Sun Ce said that after he recruited troops, he would return to Shouchun to return to his father's remaining more than 1,000 parts, Yang Xi had another suggestion.

"Bo Fu is ambitious, but he is a little worried, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Brother Chenhe, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"If Bo Fu recruits 5,000 soldiers, and then returns to Shouchun to return to the ministry, what will Yuan Shu think? Is it to return the Bo Fu tribe, or will you worry that the Bo Fu brothers will become bigger and set themselves up as a prince after leaving Shouchun? ”

Yang Xi just clicked to the end, but Sun Ce and Cheng Pu listened, but they broke out in a cold sweat.

This is very likely to lead to death.

Sun Ce said: "In this case, what should we do? ”

Yang Xidao: "In the following analysis, if Bo Fu recruits too few troops, and returns to Shouchun, Yuan Shu is only afraid of doubting your ability, feeling that you have no place to use, and letting you lead the affairs of the tribe, he will naturally give up." If you can bring back five or six hundred people, it will prove the ability of Brother Bo Fu, and it will not make Yuan Shu feel threatened. Maybe Yuan Shu thinks that Brother Bo Fu has something to use, and he will allocate a soldier and horse to you, and send some other missions to go out to conquer, or maybe he will send some missions. ”

When Sun Ce heard Yang Xi say this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and even Cheng Pu nodded again and again.

So Yang Xi drafted the contract, stamped it twice, signed it, and settled the matter.

Although the contract has no effect, at this time, people pay attention to such things as promises, which can be regarded as a moral constraint.

So Yang Xi stayed with Sun Cheng and the two of them, and played here for two more days, and Sun Ce also wanted to know more, so he didn't refuse.

When leaving, Yang Xi really prepared hundreds of people's clothes for Sun Ce, and sent some exquisite glassware, saying that it was for Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, and his younger brothers and sisters, which was considered a personal relationship.

Sun Ce was overjoyed, and if he had a personal relationship, if there was any difficulty in the future, it would be easier to speak.

As soon as the two of them walked on the front foot, Yang Xi began to calculate silently, Sun Ce would have to rise in two or three years, and he must finish Lujiang County during this time.

Sun Ce of Lujiang County is going to attack at that time, but if the master is replaced by himself, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to do it.

And at that time, Sun Ce couldn't get out of Yuan Shu's control, Yuan Shu wanted Sun Ce to fight, but Sun Ce couldn't come, and the contradiction came out, so this could make some articles.

There is another reason for Yang Xi's alliance with Sun Ce, that is, Liu Biao drove Yuan Shu away from Jingzhou, so he had time to go south to deal with him. If Yuan Shu occupies Danyang and Lujiang, then he will suffer from the enemy.

It's better to train an opponent for Yuan Shu. But this opponent must be controlled and not too strong.

After Sun Ce left, Yang Xi took out the map of Danyang that he had prepared a long time ago and began to choose the location.

Seeing the map, Yang Xi was not calm for a moment.

I saw that in Danyang County, there is a river, and there are more than a dozen tributaries, which flow into the Yangtze River from the northwest of Wuhu County.

If a port is built in this place, the water flow traffic is very convenient, and it can be traced back to many counties such as Jing County, and there are several counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

"Okay, that's it, I'm going to build a big port here, and then I'll build a city here, an impregnable city. I am between Danyang, Jiujiang and Lujiang County. It's a big meeting point. ”

No one took a fancy to this place before, because the water transportation at this time was not developed enough, and the shipbuilding technology was not good.

Yang Xi decided to immediately lead the troops to set off, go to Danyang to see Wu Jing, say hello and start building a port.

In fact, don't look at these ports established by Yang Xi, they claim to be a market ship port, but in essence, they are not a city and a strategic base.

After Thanksgiving, Yang Xi was ready, so Huang Zhong led 3,000 soldiers, 3,000 craftsmen and workers, and 10 Yangtze River boats, formed a fleet, brought enough grain and grass tools, and set off for Danyang.

In fact, the section of the Yangtze River channel from Pengze Port to Wuhu is less than 300 kilometers full, and it will arrive in one day, which is very close.

Yang Xi set off from Chenhe Port, and it took two days, and Sun Ce had already greeted Wu Jing half a month ago, so Yang Xi came over, chose the address, and didn't even see Wu Jing, just handed over the money to Wu Jing's subordinates and started construction.

Huang Zhongling's 3,000 soldiers, of course, can't be watched, and more than 6,000 people started construction at the same time, which can be regarded as a big project.

Yang Xi led Sangou to send some spies into Danyang and Lujiang on the opposite side to set up a spy station in case of emergency.

The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is currently developing so big, in Danyang, Lujiang and Jiujiang County, there are naturally many member units, these member units heard that the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce built a port here, and they were overjoyed.

In the future, their purchase will be more convenient, and the time cost will not be reduced by how much.

Therefore, many members came to meet Yang Xi every day to discuss the leasing of the port, and Yang Xi received them one by one and took the trouble to do so.

The reason why Yang Xi did this was because he brought Tian Qi's younger brother Tian Cong over, and planned to let him be the supervisor after the port was completed.

Tian Cong is now seventeen years old, he is Yang Xi's first batch of students, he has studied for ten years, and his brain development degree is also 10%, and he has received ten years of Yang Xi's education.

The Tian family is a typical capital family driven by Yang Xi, in addition to Xu Hu and Xu Bao of the Xu family, both of whom are in important positions in the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. Dong Cai's family has two brothers and three Guanxi families, all of whom are thriving. Even the eight-pound family who drove the boat currently has a head and a face, and they have some status in Exian County.

In November, the port was completed, and Yang Xi named it Qinghe Port, because this port was built in later generations, about the location of Qinghe.

However, after 2,000 years of soil erosion and alluvium, the Qinghe River in later generations is no longer a good waterway, but it is still okay.

Qinghe Port was completed, and there were things in Lujiang that gave Yang Xi a headache. Yuan Shu was short of food, so he borrowed 30,000 stones of grain from Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang. Lu Kang was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how could he ignore Yuan Shu, so he ignored it behind closed doors.

Yang Xi remembered that later Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang, and he had no choice but to intervene in this matter.
