Chapter 363: Lu Su's Doubts
Xiling City, inside the mansion.
Lu Su looked anxious and paced in the courtyard.
Sun Quan's letter had already arrived, and when he first arrived, Lu Su felt a little out of shape in his heart.
Liu Feng is unwilling to suffer, if the calculation fails, he may suffer more losses.
Last time, Ganning's expedition to the west was the best example.
But Sun Quan's demagogy was also very successful, and after thinking about it, Lu Su also felt that it was feasible.
Liu Feng is a strong person, but he is very capable, and his advisers are gradually plumping, so it can be said that there are almost no weaknesses.
The only weakness is greed, incomparable greed.
This can be seen from Liu Feng's looting of Xinye and Jiangdongzhong.
In other words, Sun Quan's strategy will succeed eighty percent. As long as Liu Feng blackmails the people of Jiaozhou once. It will cause a three-way war.
If Lu Su is still worried, it is that Liu Feng's fish is dead.
If Liu Fengzhen is a kind of surname who would rather break the jade than destroy it, when the time comes, the soldiers will come to the city and burn all the grain, and it will be a big loss.
But Lu Su thought about it, but gradually didn't believe that Liu Feng would do that, millions of stone grains, saying that burning is burning? There are no such losers in the world.
After the two families with more than 100,000 troops entered the north, Liu Feng would definitely compromise and compromise.
Therefore, Lu Su's heart gradually calmed down these days.
The reason why I am anxious now is because there is an entourage to report that Shi Yi is here and is currently at the gate of the city.
"Mr. Bao, Shi Yi was personally welcomed into General Yang Wu's mansion by Liu Feng." Suddenly, an attendant came in to report.
"Greeted in person?" A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Su's eyes and asked.
"I greeted him personally." The entourage affirmed that he had seen Liu Feng once and was impressed.
I don't know why, after hearing this news, Lu Su's heart flashed a little uneasy.
Liu Feng actually greeted him personally, Mi Zhu and him have never enjoyed this kind of treatment, why did Jiaozhou meet?
Could it be that Liu Feng wants to get close to Jiaozhou?
But according to Liu Feng's greedy surname, he shouldn't let go of his greed and give Jiaozhou a low price, right?
Although he thought it was impossible in his heart, Lu Su was really uneasy.
At this moment, in General Yang Wu's mansion, Liu Feng was in the hall and received Shi Yi.
The two talked very happily, Liu Feng carefully asked about the situation of Shiyi Jiaozhou, and Shiyi answered in detail.
Liu Feng found out that Jiaozhou was more complicated than he imagined, known as Baiyue, and there were really countless tribes. Shixie can rely on his own strength to overpower Baiyue.
It's really a capable person.
Liu Feng sighed a few times sincerely, and immediately won the favor of Shi Yi.
"Although my brother sits on Jiaozhou, he has no ambitions. One is because he is old and has a weak heart. Second, he is also well aware of the weaknesses of Jiaozhou, and may be able to be called a strong and strong people, and can raise elite soldiers. But there is no great talent. Talent is scarce, and land is barren. As well as Baiyue, there are too few Han people. This is the biggest reason restricting the development of Jiaozhou. Only by looking up to the Central Plains can we maintain the right to rule Jiaozhou in the hands of the Han people without the threat of hundreds of Yue people. Shi Yi said sincerely.
"Therefore, Shijiao Shicai is close to Jiangdong, and hopes to rely on Jiangdong to protect Jiaozhou?" Liu Feng admired Shi Xie a little.
According to Shi Yi, combined with historical views.
Shi Xie is not only gentle, benevolent and righteous, but also has this unusual persistence in the Han people's rule of Jiaozhou.
Relying on a strong country to protect Jiaozhou.
This is the reason why Shi Xie continued to get close to Sun Quan in history, and even Sun Quan installed Jiangdong officials in Jiaozhou, Shi Xie also allowed it.
That is to say, if he Liu Feng is defeated and annexes Jiangdong, Shixie will also approach him, just like he subdued Jiaozhou in history.
He can also easily accept Jiaozhou.
Thinking about it, Liu Feng flashed a slight smile in his heart, the 200,000 stones can be regarded as helping the people in the future.
At this moment, Jiang Wan walked in.
There was some sweat on his face, and he looked quite in a hurry. In addition to this, there are some quirks.
"Lord, the 200,000 stone grain is ready, and you can set off at any time." After Jiang Wan entered the door, he reported.
Just half an hour ago, Jiang Wan was ordered to go to collect grain.
"It's hard work." Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction, then looked up and asked Shi Yi, "I don't know when the old gentleman will leave?" ”
"People's livelihood is a major event, and it can't be delayed, so let's go immediately." Although Shi Yi felt that something was wrong with his body, and his bones were about to fall apart, he still said firmly.
First Jiangdong, then Jiangxia, from death to life. Shi Yi attaches great importance to this batch of grain.
Liu Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Shi Yi to be in such a hurry. But seeing that Shiyi was so solemn, Liu Feng did not embarrass him.
"Trouble Gongyan to run again, prepare for the old gentleman, prepare." Liu Feng turned his head to Jiang Wan and said.
"No." Jiang Wan responded, and then said to Shi Yi: "Sir, please." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Shi Yi thanked him twice in a row, then bowed to Liu Feng and walked out. Jiang Wan lifted his heels.
"Jiaozhou? Elephant? Liu Feng smiled slightly.
After the two left, Liu Feng was not busy with anything else. Just waiting for Jiang Wan to come back here. The food has been prepared, and it should be quick to send Shi Yi out.
Just like Liu Feng thought, it was indeed fast.
Before half an hour arrived, Jiang Wan walked back.
"My lord, Mr. Shi has already set off to return to Jiaozhou." Jiang Wan bowed to Liu Feng.
"What about those things?" Liu Feng asked with concern.
"The gold, silver and jewelry have been sealed, and the ten elephants and animal trainers have also been arranged near the pastures outside the city." Jiang Wan replied.
Immediately, Jiang Wan's face showed a bit of strangeness, and said: "Lord, that piece of gold and silver jewelry is not like the thin gift that Shi Yi said, but a very thick gift." ”
"Very thick, very thick?" Liu Feng was slightly stunned.
At the beginning, the negotiated price was based on the market price. That is, 100,000 stone and 4,000 gold. 200,000 stones, 8,000 catties.
At that time, Shi Yi didn't talk about giving money, only said that next time he would let people come with the elephant and the money. In addition, a small gift was also given.
Claiming to be a thin gift.
Liu Feng didn't care, he wasn't interested in gifts or anything.
But listening to Jiang Wan's words, it seems to be a bit heavy.
"Those gold, silver, and jewelry, roughly estimated, are worth no less than 30,000 gold." Jiang Wan nodded.
"What?" Liu Feng was surprised.
Thirty thousand gold? Is it a small gift? What kind of world is this?
If it adds up like this, not only did he not lose money selling his 200,000 stone of grain, but he made a lot of money.
You must know that when Zhang Dao and they purchased grain, it was only about 3,000 gold and 100,000 stones. 200,000 grains cost 6,000 gold.
Now the small gift of 30,000 gold is equivalent to earning five times. Plus elephants.
After being surprised, Liu Feng could only sigh.
"Jiaozhou is poor, sparsely populated, and has fewer scholars. But there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the poor may only have money left. ”
"The more mountains, the more minerals. In addition, it is easier to ingest pearls and other substances by the sea. Jiang Wan nodded.
Liu Feng's eyes were hot.
The biggest constraint on the development of Jiaozhou is actually the impassability of roads. Mountains stretch. There is also too much miasma.
As long as these troubles are solved, the grain of the Central Plains can enter Jiaozhou, and the gold and jewelry of Jiaozhou can also flow into the Central Plains.
There is no need for Liu Feng to bother with this, as long as there are benefits, there will be a large number of businessmen who will do this.
If a Jiaozhou is used well, the funds produced by it are enough to support it for a long, long time.
This investment really made a lot of money.
"By the way, my lord, are you really going to do that?" Jiang Wan suddenly asked.
"Why not do that? Since Sun Quan dared to conspire, he had to pay the price. Liu Feng immediately knew what Jiang Wan was talking about, and said with a sneer when he heard this.
I don't have a good impression of Sun Quan and Liu Feng, I really don't have a good feeling. Now that death is on the verge of death, everything requires him, what kind of conspiracy is he playing.
Liu Feng was really annoyed in his heart, and decided to play a big game this time.
"Hey." Jiang Wan sighed when he heard this.
Liu Feng's method of making Sun Quan well-behaved is very poisonous, very poisonous. The waste is also very large, but even Jiang Wan has to admit that if Liu Feng really does it, Sun Quan will be well-behaved like a cat.
And obediently sent 600,000 people and 200,000 catties of iron.
In Xiling City, with Jiang Wan's big move, 200,000 stone grain was loaded and transported. Lu Su also got the news smoothly.
When he heard such a return from his entourage, Lu Su couldn't believe it.
That greedy Liu Feng actually agreed to Shi Yi's request so smoothly. Gave a large amount of grain?
That's impossible.
Did Liu Feng's surname change, or did Shi Yi agree to Liu Feng's lion mouth?
"Could it be that Shi Yi sold Cangwu County to Liu Feng?" Lu Su thought hesitantly. But it's impossible, it's not a question of whether Shiyi will sell it, but Liu Feng can't want it at all.
Cangwu is too far away. It does not border Jiangxia, is sparsely populated, and is poor mountains and bad waters. Even if you buy it, it's not much use.
But why did Liu Feng give the grain to Jiaozhou so happily?
I can't figure it out, Lu Su can't figure it out. And what made Lu Su extremely entangled was. Such a large-scale grain was said to be given to Jiaozhou, so why couldn't it be distributed to Jiangdong?
It can solve the urgent need.
Just when Lu Su couldn't figure it out, and his eyes were red.
Liu Feng sent someone.
"Sir, my lord please." The guards who came in to report bowed to Lu Su.
Could it really be that Liu Feng's surname has changed greatly and he has begun to distribute food? Thinking about what happened to Shi Yi, Lu Su began to have a little expectation in his heart.
Wen Yan nodded and said, "Wait a minute." ”
After saying a word, Lu Su immediately went back to the room to change his clothes. After that, he left the mansion and got into the carriage.
This carriage was provided by Liu Feng. The coachmen were all Liu Feng's, and so were the guards who led the way.
Lu Su found that he was not heading towards the Taishou Mansion, but towards the outside of the city.
Liu Feng wants to see him outside the city? A doubt flashed in Lu Su's heart.
