Chapter 51 Responding to Change with Change

"Sixty percent." Yu Fu also said with some uneasiness. In order to grab time at that time, although he felt that it was a little too high, he still agreed, he felt that Sun Shao was going to bargain anyway, and he would talk about it when the time came.

Sun Shao didn't say anything, his mouth was crooked, and he looked very painful. Kong Zhu and the others looked at each other, no one spoke, although they said that they were mentally prepared to reduce prices, but if they took the initiative to reduce prices at the beginning of the negotiation, they would lose in momentum. So this must be said by Sun Shao, as soon as he asks for a price reduction, he will be at a loss first, and it will be easy to talk about it when he talks about it again.

"The strength of the monarchs is not small." Sun Shao looked at him left and right, "You have helped me refurbish more than 100 ships in a month, and your strength is only stronger than that of Houguan Shipyard." ”

Kong Zhu frowned, feeling an ominous smell. The private workshop is stronger than the shipyard of the government, this is not a compliment, it is usually the beginning of blackmail, he glanced at Yu Turn, and said in his heart that this time Yu turned over this old guy. He praised Sun Shao like a flower, but Sun Shao came up with such a sentence, which was the same as the routine before his old man Sun Ce killed people back then. When Wei Xiu, Sheng Gu and the others heard this, they also felt a little cold, and they were a little worried, not only would these sixty percent definitely not be able to keep it, but probably forty percent had problems.

Sun Shao took a sip of tea and kept the obviously tense atmosphere for a while, and then sighed: "Although there are a lot of sixty percent of them, there is no heavy reward, and there will be no brave man, Mr. Zhong Xiang handled it properly, so let's decide." ”

Although he said that Yu Flip handled it properly, the tone clearly said that Yu Flip gave too much, and it was only for Yu Flip's face that he reluctantly agreed. Yu Flip breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful, while the others were a little overjoyed, and they looked at Yu Flip with a little more envy. This old guy is not popular, but his face is really big, Sun Shao actually agreed to this obviously suspected blackmail request, this time it is a good thing for the auditor.

"I can't thank you enough for the general's mind." Wei Xiu first thanked him: "I heard that the general added Lin'er not long ago, and Hugh heard that it was too late, and he did not come to congratulate, so I would like to offer hundreds of gold to bathe the general." ”

Although Sun Shao is very rich now, he almost bit his tongue, this Wei family is really rich, and it is a hundred gold when they meet. My son costs 100 gold for a bath? Well, that's a golden bath.

Kong Zhu was unwilling to fall in, and immediately caught up: "Zhu is willing to give a hundred gold to make some new clothes for your son." ”

"Stick to 100 gold, and make powder money for the general's wife."

“……”

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight bamboo slips were placed on the table in front of Sun Shao, and each bamboo slip was worth 100 gold. Sun Shao sighed with emotion, damn it, after such a while, my precious son will become a rich man.

"Thank you for your kindness, and I am grateful." Sun Shao smiled and accepted all the orders, this gift is not a matter of not accepting nothing, and people are uneasy if they don't accept it. Poor people, how much did I hate corrupt officials before, how can I become a corrupt official now?

After accepting the money, everyone immediately got closer, talking and laughing about some business matters. Between a few cups of tea, Kong Zhu and the others each reported the ships that were going to the South China Sea to do business this time, more than seventy or eighty, and less than hundreds, which made Sun Shao's heart tremble, and he usually didn't see so many ships. Later, when he asked Yu to turn over, he learned that the boats of their families generally do not go to Jianye, most of them are sold in Qiantang, Wuxian, and Shanyin, and some of them go directly to Yuzhang County in Zhejiang, because they have no one in the officialdom, if they take the Yangtze River, there are too many autumn winds along the way, and Xindu County is too Shou He Qi is a Huijiren, and they can give a lot less money from Xindu County.

The departure time was agreed, and everyone dispersed satisfied. Yu is very happy, today he not only gained face in front of his fellow villagers, but also made a profit, although he did not say it explicitly, but his Yu family should account for at least one percent of these sixty percent, which everyone knows. And if he is cut to forty percent by Sun Shao today, he will not be able to occupy more, and everyone will definitely ask for an equal share. Although he is not short of this amount of money, who is afraid of more money? Besides, he doesn't love money, so he can't let the rest of the Yu family also love money.

Everything went well, and a few days later, more than 800 merchant ships set sail from Qiantangkou, and Sun Shao left Yu Ying, the eldest son of Yu Ying, and Gan Pi to guard the Houguan shipyard. He left them with 2,000 men, and now the pirates in the East China Sea have all become sailors, and the Houguan shipyard is very safe, and 2,000 men are enough. Gan Pi is inexplicably grateful, although he is only a lieutenant now, but Sun Shao handed over the shipyard to him to be responsible, he is actually at least a lieutenant general, if Sun Quan sends someone else to take over the shipyard, he can go to war with Sun Shao again, if Sun Quan gives Sun Shao a face and lets him really be in charge of the shipyard, then sooner or later he will be promoted to his official position, and his existential crisis will really pass.

…… At the beginning of May, when the southeast wind gradually blew, Sun Shao led the mighty fleet into Panyu Port, and returned here a year later, his momentum was completely different. The last time he came, there were only ten ships, and he became a general of the Henghai Sea, and Shiwei insulted him with five broken ships, and now he has nearly a thousand warships, and there are seven Lou ships alone, which is much more majestic than Shiweike.

Buqi was overjoyed like a long drought and rain, and took the officials and subordinates to meet outside the city of Panyu. Although Shiwei was not convinced, but now the situation was pressing, and he had to follow out of the city, and when he saw Sun Shao's huge fleet at the dock, his face suddenly looked like a persimmon that had been stepped on. Last year, he was scolded by Bu Qi, abducted half of the people, and then almost rebelled in the nest, and was almost robbed of military power by the soldiers, but he saw the opportunity quickly, and cried to several uncles, and finally the big Bo Shixie softened his heart and spared him this meal, but he put down his words again, if you make another mistake and lose the strength here in your hands, don't blame me for not being merciful, I can't throw all the strength of the water master in your hands. Shi Wei kowtowed again and again, reassuring several elders that he would be careful. In October last year, when he cooperated with Bu Qi to conquer Zhu Ya, he put Bu Qi together at a critical moment, and almost planted all the Bu Qi in it, and the Bu Qi who lost the battle was completely lost, and canceled the escort requirements under their combination of soft and hard, which was regarded as a relief from a tight spell on their heads.

Things originally thought it was very good, they estimated at the time that even if Sun Quan could exterminate the pirates in the East China Sea, he wouldn't be able to do it in a year and a half, and after winning the war, it would take time to stabilize, and it would be even more difficult for Bu Qi to reorganize the sailors he could control. Therefore, they were very relieved and calmly waiting for Sun Quan's next move. When they learned that Lu Fan had lost troops in the East China Sea, they would smile. The East China Sea was not peaceful, merchant ships did not dare to go north, and all the goods could only be handled in the South China Sea, and they made a lot of money. So they were very happy to hoard goods at low prices, and at the same time complained to Buqi that the sea route was impassable, which affected their money.

No one expected that as soon as Sun Shao came out of the East China Sea, he would get Su Thick Legs in just a few words, and the pirate king of the East China Sea would surrender like this, and then Sun Shao swept across the East China Sea like a tsunami, and then rushed to Jiaozhou.

Sway felt a chill. Sun Shao's kid is too insidious, last time he only had fifteen boats, first pretending to be Cui Qian's subordinates to scare the little pirates away, and then captured the headhunter alive, and then swept all the way over, and the big and small pirates along the way all suffered. If it weren't for the bad time, maybe he would have been able to help Bu Qi attack Zhu Ya. I thought that he would not come back if he left, but I didn't expect that he not only came back, but also brought more than 15,000 sailors.

Shiwei knew that with his current strength, he couldn't interfere with Sun Shao, Sun Shao could completely leave him alone, and ask him to join forces with pirates to deal with Sun Shao, to be honest, he didn't have the courage yet. Sun Shao is so insidious, who knows if he is dealing with Cui Qian openly, but secretly he is preparing to clean up his Shiwei?

"What's wrong with the general? My face is not very good. Sun Shao smiled at Shiwei: "Isn't it too hard to fight against pirates recently?" Don't worry, since I'm here, I'll definitely help you to level the cliff. ”

Shi Wei laughed twice: "With the general Huwei, it is natural to succeed and win." He arched his hand and said very politely: "General Shi Weiwei is the head of the horse." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao laughed: "General Shi is polite." The last time I confronted Xu Wen, I had to take care of the general, and this time I must return the general's favor. ”

Shi Wei licked his lips, and said in his heart that this kid is still a grudge, last time he asked him to be a striker, and this time it was his turn to be a striker for him. It's difficult, do you play or not to play as a striker? Fighting, then there will definitely be losses, if you don't fight, wouldn't that just give him an excuse?

Bu Qi was very happy to see Shi Wei's constipated face, he was damaged by Shi Wei in the past half a year, Shi Wei came to the assassin Shi Mansion to complain if he was free, and asked him for the South China Sea Taishou in the middle of the word. When he heard that Lu Fan was defeated in the East China Sea, he almost agreed, but later received news that Sun Shao had sent troops, so he supported it again. He believed that Sun Shao would be able to level Su in the East China Sea, and then move to the South China Sea. At that time, he didn't dare to think too much, he only hoped that Sun Shao could bring three or five thousand men and horses, so that he would not be overwhelmed by Shiwei and couldn't raise his head. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao came to be more than 10,000 people, which made him very happy.

After entering the city, after the cold noise, Bu Qi invited Zhang Zhao and Sun Shao to the study, first handed over the seal of the Nanhai Taishou to Zhang Zhao, and then asked: "Fengxian, what are your plans?" ”

Sun Shao looked at Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao coughed: "Zishan, are the charts ready?" ”

Bu Qi's black face turned red, knowing that he was a little too impatient. Looking at it like this, Sun Shao should have no plans to do it in the short term, and it should be after the hurricane season in July and August has passed. He shook his head and took out some maps: "Don't dare to hide it from Zhang Gong, although I sent someone to measure the chart, but ...... I don't dare to guarantee whether these charts are right or not, first, I dare not believe these people, and second, I doubt their level. Feng Xian, Yu Lu and Yu are both by your side, do you have any plans to redraw the charts? ”

Sun Shao smiled, Bu Qi was not convinced, intentionally or unintentionally said that he had a lot of resources, he might be thinking that if he had 15,000 soldiers and talents like Lu Ji and Yu Tuo, he could also win. But why didn't he want to think about it, when I went out of Jianye, there were only seventy or eighty boats, more than a thousand people, and my subordinates still had a belly of opinions, and they could stab me in the back at any time?

"I don't think it's a question of if, it's a question of must." Sun Shao replied calmly, "Shixie has been operating in Jiaozhou for twenty or thirty years, and it will take us at least two or three years, right?" It's not necessarily a good thing to be in a hurry. My men have never been to Jiaozhou, and they also need time to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Fu Jun, you first give an order to restore the rules of the sailor's escort. ”

"I know." Bu Qi nodded again and again, looking at Sun Shao with a somewhat strange look. The last time Sun Shao came, he was only talking, pushing everything outward, lest people doubt him, but this time it was different, there was an atmosphere from the inside out, and in the gestures, there was no longer that kind of caution hidden in the bones.

"Mr. Gongji has trained fifty people who can carry out surveys, and we can do it in a multi-headed, measure the islands along the way in the shortest possible time, draw a reliable chart, first clear the perimeter, and gradually approach Zhuya." Sun Shao drew a circle on the chart, and then put his finger on Xu Wen: "For the sake of convenience, I want to transfer the station of the Jiaozhou Water Division to Xu Wen, and monitor Cui Qian nearby, I really want to see if more than 10,000 people are in Xu Wen, and whether he Cui Qian can still sit firmly." ”

Bu Qi looked at the map and nodded again and again: "This is good, this is good, not to mention the time to avoid going back and forth, you can also take into account the counties of Jiaolu and Hepu." Zhang Gong, Feng Xian, look, do you want to force Shi Yi to hand over Hepu Taishou first? ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "I don't see it well." Feng Xian is not familiar with Hepu, so he will take over at once, which is easy to cause unease among the locals, and it is better to take his time to give Shi Yi the opportunity to provoke. There are more than 10,000 people in the town, and Shi Yi has to be more or less restrained. ”

Bu Qi was a little hesitant, he didn't agree with Zhang Zhao's opinion. If Shi Yi is not taken away, all of Sun Shao's expenses will be handled by Shi Yi, and it is entirely possible that Shi Yi will use this excuse to run rampant, and then put all the responsibility on Sun Shao's head, causing the dissatisfaction of the local people in Hepu with Sun Shao. But he was a little afraid of Zhang Zhao and didn't dare to oppose it directly, so he had to look at Sun Shao. Sun Shao didn't see it, just stared at the map, opened his hand and measured it on the map, shook his head for a while, and laughed again.

Bu Qi finally decided not to say it, these teachers and students are both people that Sun Quan doesn't like, since Sun Quan sent them, the two teachers and students, there must be his intentions, maybe there is a meaning to make him suffer a little. Since this is the case, let Sun Shao break through, when something goes wrong, it will not be too late for him to come forward.

"It's up to Gong Zhang." Bu Qi nodded vaguely, and the little excitement that he could still perceive at the beginning had now disappeared without a trace.

"Envoy, please immediately order all counties to prepare at least half a year's worth of grain and grass for the army." Sun Shao raised his head from the map and looked directly at Bu Qi, "Directly to Xu Wen, I'll receive it there." ordered Xu Wen to order Shihong that if there was a slight loss of grain and grass, he would be fully responsible. ”

Bu Qi nodded, his face expressionless.

...... "Okay. Shi Yi gently put down the official document, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You just go and prepare." ”

Shi Hong didn't move, looking at Shi Yi's eyes: "How much?" Thirty percent? ”

"Sancheng?" Shi Yi snorted, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shi Hong, and then flipped it: "Double." ”

"Double?" Shi Hong gasped: "That's not going to fall out." ”

"It's good to turn it over." Shi Yi glared at him and shouted, "You want to be stable, do people make you stable?" More than 10,000 troops are stationed in Xu Wen, are you still a fart for Xu Wenling? What is Xu Wen? Xu Wen is the place where the wealth in Jiaozhou is most concentrated, and he came to Xu Wen, not for Cui Qian, but for Xu Wen City. ”

"I see." Shi Hong suddenly realized, got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Shi Yi stopped Shi Hong: "Send someone to inform Cui Qian, just say that Sun Shao, who pretended to be him last year, is here again, this time it's not as simple as pretending to be him, but to kill him, my Shi family is difficult to protect himself, he can't help, he wants to do it himself." Fight if you can, surrender as soon as possible, or flee farther away. ”

Shi Hong nodded again and again, he thought for a while: "Aren't we going to war?" ”

"Sun Shao is a lot of people, and Bu Qi has suffered two losses from us, do you think he will give you a chance?" Shi Yi pursed his lips and dismissed: "Let's take a look on the side and see how capable this kid of the Sun family is." Say that Su has thick legs? I'll see if he can say that Cui Qian will be lowered. ”

Shihong couldn't help but laugh and turned to leave. Shi Yi turned to his second son Shi Kuang and said: "Tell me, what is going on with this Sun Shao's thick legs, why do I look so weird, then Su thick legs are proud, even the Houguan Shipyard dares to go, and Lu Fan is a loss, why did Sun Shao go as soon as he went?" ”

Shi Kuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, everyone thought this thing was weird, but no one could tell what the weirdness was. They also knew that Sun Shao had a friendship with Su Thick Legs, and Sun Shao once hung Su Thick Legs' battle flag and swaggered across the sea, but this friendship could make Su Thick Legs surrender? Then Sun Shao also hung Cui Qian's battle flag, could it be said that they also have a friendship?

"Hurry up and report to your uncle, I feel that Sun Shao is not good this time, Sun Quan may be playing some tricks, let him get an idea as soon as possible." Shi Yi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "It's not good to stay anywhere, I have to stay in Xu Wenlai, doesn't this make me embarrassed?" ”

...... "What's so hard about it?" Shi Xie lay on the rocking chair, relaxed: "He has a thousand clever plans, and I am as immobile as a mountain." Zhu Ya is so big, where can Cui Qian hide it, can he find it? 10,000 people, 10,000 people scattered to Zhuya, and they couldn't even find a shadow. There are so many large and small ports in Zhu Ya, let him search slowly, if Cui Qian can't deal with this, he should die. ”

"What about us?" Shi Kuang asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, we'll do whatever Bu Qi tells us to do, even if he wants this Hepu Taishou, give it to him." The corners of Shi Xie's wrinkled eyes trembled: "A boy who is only twenty years old happens to win two battles, and he thinks he is invincible in the world. Sun Quan really has no one under him, either a relative or a clan, apart from these relatives, what other capable people are under him? ”
