In the Jianye Mansion, Zhou Yu is asking for it, the more money and food in his mansion, the more he points this brow, the more frowning he becomes, because the entire mansion has less than 20,000 gold of money and grain, 20,000 gold, what is enough, Jiangdong lost 70,000 horses in the first battle on the Yangtze River, and one person can't afford to give a pension of thousands of dollars. What's more, he, Zhou Yu, also wants to draw extra money and food from the treasury to form a new army.

"Mr. Zhang Zhao, this soldier gave a hundred yuan, what do you think?" Zhou Yu asked Zhang Zhao on the side, Zhang Zhao should have been an accounting figure in Jianye, but this bad account was that Zhang Zhao couldn't handle it alone, so Zhou Yu came here.

"Governor, 100 dollars? This is inevitable, but it is too little! "Zhang Zhao is a little embarrassed, a human life, and it is a fake sacrifice of your Jiangdong, you will give a hundred dollars, now because the trade routes in Jingzhou have been cut off, and the trade of grain and grass is gone, so the grain has become a hundred dollars, is it possible that a human life is a straight grain of a bucket.

"I know too, but this treasury, the treasury is really, hey!" Zhou Yu put down the bamboo slip in his hand suddenly, it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, although Jiangdong was not rich before, but he has not lost so much in the battle with Jingzhou, every time there can be spoils, even if it is a small loss of two, it will not lose much, it has always been in the war to raise the war, now on the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong army division has lost consecutive battles, and suddenly the biggest shortcoming of the Jiangdong army has been exposed, that is, the internal background is insufficient, unlike Jingzhou Liu Biao, Liu Biao even lost half of the country, He Liu Biao can make a comeback. That's why. That's because Liu Biao is rich.

But Koto freed up all his money. Hoping to win the war, if there is a big defeat, the whole organization will be unlucky.

"Mr. Zhang Zhao, I don't know if I can borrow something from Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang rest assured, I Jiangdong will pay back Mr. Zhang's money immediately after the tax harvest next autumn! Zhou Yu said to Zhang Zhao on the side, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao borrowing money is equivalent to borrowing money from the scholars in Jiangdong, just because Zhang Zhao represents the scholars in Jiangdong.

Feel relieved? Zhang Zhao is most worried about Jiangdong's taxes now, not to mention that there is still more than half a year for the autumn harvest, if the money is sent out, Jiangdong will be finished. So who does he ask for money with, even after the autumn harvest, with Jiangdong's taxes, I'm afraid it will only be enough for his own soldiers and horses, where can he afford money.

So immediately Zhang Zhao cried and mourned, "Governor, it's not that Zhang Zhao won't lend it to you, but the landlord's house has no surplus grain, the battle of Wancheng, our Jiangdong Shi clan went out with the lord, a total of 100,000 troops." But in the end, only Fanji can come back, and these are the personal servants of the clan. Killed in battle not only suffered huge losses, but also had to be compensated for. ”

Zhou Yu listened to Zhang Zhao crying poorly, his face was a little cold, the battle of Wancheng sounded good, it was the Jiangdong Shi clan with the lord Sun Ce together to crusade against foreign thieves, but in fact, it was the Jiangdong Shi clan who saw that in the Lujiang River, those original land snakes were cleaned up by Liu Mang, it can be said that it was a power vacuum, they all wanted to get the cake of Lujiang, so they sent troops and horses unremittingly.

But Zhou Yu couldn't do anything, it was true that all the warriors in Jiangdong were injured in that battle, and later there was the money to redeem the children of those scholars, that time it could be said to be a loss-making transaction.

"Dadu Governor, this is not counting, the last time the second prince went on an expedition, didn't the Jiangdong Shi clan pay money and grain and grass? Under these two supplies, where is the extra money! Zhang Zhao complained again.

That time was indeed knocked out a lot of money by Sun Ce, which made the Jiangdong Shi clan very distressed, but in the end, Sun Quan still lost.

"Hey, these two sons." Zhou Yu also stomped his feet fiercely, he had already spoken to the lord, the best thing for this second son is to keep him in captivity, or simply send him to Xu Du as a hostage, it is better than staying in Jiangdong, this second son is not incapable, but the more capable he is, the more he makes Zhou Yu feel at ease.

"Can't you really help your lord? Now when I am dying in Jiangdong, Mr. Zhang Zhao, you and I are all for Jiangdong and for the lord. Zhou Yu said bitterly to Zhang Zhao.

"In this case, my Zhang family is willing to come up with five hundred gold." Zhang Zhao said to Zhou Yu.

"Hehe," Seeing that Zhang Zhao took the money, Zhou Yu was not only not happy, but angry, "Mr. Zhang Zhao, do you really think that my Jiangdong is asking for food." Zhou Yu snorted coldly, five hundred gold, it seems like a lot, but for the Zhang family, the Dashi clan in Jiangdong, five hundred gold is nothing at all.

"Since Mr. Zhang Zhao is like this, then I will make it clear, the Zhang family, the Wu family, and even my Zhou family, have given me two thousand gold, and the rest are like the Zheng family, the Wang family, the Hao family, and the Cheng family, each of which has taken out 1,000 gold and 500 gold. There are also some small scholars, eight hundred gold! “

"Governor, where, where there are so many." Zhang Zhao is also bitter, and this year's entry of the Zhang family will not reach 2,000 gold.

"I don't know how you took it out, but if you can't take it out, then I, Zhou Yu, will personally send someone to get it." Zhou Yu was also ruthless. In the past, he was afraid of offending the warriors, but now he is not afraid, if there is no money to compensate those soldiers who died in battle, if there is no money to reorganize new soldiers and horses, then Jiangdong is almost finished.

"Old minister, old minister only brought the words!" Zhang Zhao sighed, he also knew that Zhou Yu had no choice.

"Then Mr. Zhang Zhao, please hurry up." Zhou Yu made a send-off appearance.

……

Zhang Zhao is the representative of the Jiangdong Shi clan, just like the Kuai family is for Jingzhou, so Zhang Zhao will go for a while, and naturally let those heads of the Jiangdong Shi clan come to discuss, and he brought Zhou Yu's words.

As soon as these words landed, the pot exploded immediately.

"How can this be done, eight hundred gold, how can you get it?" A head of the Jiangdong clan stood up and spoke.

Although 800 gold is not much, you must know that so far, there is basically no harvest or benefit in the entire Jiangdong this year. It's all upside down. The last battle in Wancheng. The head of the He family took out two thousand servants with good armor and wanted to make a good fortune in Lujiang, but who would have thought that the whole army was wiped out at that station, and his two thousand servants were all finished.

Later, when the second son went to the clinic, he still took the money, although it was not much, and it was about 2,000 gold, but it was still a deal that did not make money. If it goes on like this, it will be 5,000 gold, and it is already a pain in the bones for such a small family, and now it has to come up with 800 gold, isn't it fatal.

"Master He, you are only eight hundred gold, I have fifteen hundred gold, almost twice as much as yours, how can my Hao family have it, I can only sell my property" The head of the Hao family also said with a sad face.

"No, we can't afford that much money. We must ask the lord if this is to persecute us to death! Someone shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Ask the lord. Hehe, you don't know the relationship between the lord and the governor," Zhang Zhao sneered, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were brothers, "Now the lord has put the power of Jiangdong in charge of the governor, can you still sue the governor of the capital." Zhou Yu's words basically represent Sun Ce.

"That's what you can do!" A group of people are also panicked, this is paid, then they are basically out of blood, some of them can be slow, some can't be exchanged directly, it will be miserable, and this money is basically a waste of money or not, so most people don't want to give, but if they don't give it, they can't do it, Zhou Yu, the governor, has let go, and if he doesn't give it, he will come in person. At that time, there will be no people and money.

"Anyway, this Jiangdong is almost the same, let's just put it together and don't forget it, I don't believe it, he Zhou Yu really did what happened to us!"

"What if the Metropolitan Governor really dares to do it?"

"If that's the case, then it's a big deal to take refuge in the north of the Yangtze River." This head of the Jiangdong Shi clan is a bit horizontal, and it is no wonder that this person is a little bit at odds with Sun Ce, and he is relatively close to the Xu family at the beginning, although Sun Ce did not trouble him, but he has no good influence on Sun Ce.

"On the north bank of the Yangtze River, as soon as you say this, all the people present don't know what it means, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, that is Liu Mang in Yangzhou."

"You're crazy, if this kind of nonsense is discovered, it will be a disaster!" Some family heads were timid and angrily scolded this person who proposed to go to the north bank of the Yangtze River, if this was heard by Zhou Yu and others, then none of these people would be able to escape.

"What are you afraid of! There are no outsiders here, I'm just talking, is it because of this, Zhou Yu can still kill us all, kill us, who will give him money? ”

Zhang Zhao waved his hand to stop the fight between the two, it is true that this is the territory of his Zhang family, and safety is naturally guaranteed, but Zhang Zhao still shook his head, "This Jiangbei can't go"

"Why can't you go to Jiangbei!"

"This Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang of Jiangbei, do you understand?"

"I don't know!"

"If you go to this Jiangbei, what if this Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang also want to wait for money? Besides, what can you bring to Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang when you go to Jiangbei? Have you not forgotten that in the battle of Wancheng, you almost took the life of Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang! ”

Indeed, if Liu Mang hadn't been lucky enough for Liu Mang's luck in the Battle of Wancheng, he might have died at the hands of these people, so it was not very reliable to take refuge in the past.

"Isn't there any other way to go?" Someone questioned.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhao seemed to know something, and said to everyone: "If I change a master in Jiangdong, who do you want?" ”

"Second son!" The scholars on the spot said in unison.

"Virtual. Just wait and see what happens! Zhang Zhao said to everyone, "If you don't change the owner, then I will pay the money as usual, if I return the master!" Hehe! “

……

After Zhang Zhao left, Zhou Yu was busy with more things, since Zhou Yu dared to open that mouth to Zhang Zhao, then he knew that Zhang Zhao would definitely bring so much money, and if he lacked a copy, Zhang Zhao would not dare to dry him.

Zhou Yu calculated, that batch of money is about 50,000 gold, with that batch of money, then get rid of the pension of the dead soldiers, it is still possible to form a new army of 10,000 people, so that Jiangdong is not without the strength of a war.

Just when Zhou Yu seemed to be a little relaxed, a few armor soldiers suddenly ran in over there.

"Huh?" Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning when he saw these armor soldiers, because these armor soldiers were the people under him Zhou Yu who were in charge of intelligence information, and once they appeared in person, it meant that something urgent had happened.

Sure enough, the black-clothed armored soldier knelt down in front of Zhou Yu, "Back to the Grand Governor, the fledgling sent information." ”

"Bring it up." Zhou Yu shielded the left and right and led his men to a secret room, he received the information from the black-clothed armor soldier, and only then did he realize that something big seemed to have happened.

"Xu Gong?" Zhou Yu thought to this person, "Isn't he dead?" ”

Xu Gong can be said to be known to many people in Jiangdong, because this person has served as the governor of Wu County, Taishou, and later after Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, the other Jiangdong counties have surrendered, only this Xu Gong is not dealing with Sun Ce, unruly, and wants to send a secret letter to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to pay attention to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce found out and made a ruthless move, uprooting the Xu Gong family.

When Xu Gong's family was killed, Zhou Yu was still on the side.

"It's true, the fledgling said that he was not mistaken, it is indeed Xu Gong!" The black-clothed armor man said to Zhou Yu.

Xu Gong is not dead? This fun is a bit big, whether Sun Ce killed Xu Gong's whole family or Xu Gong betrayed first, the hatred between Xu Gong and the lord Sun Ce cannot be solved.

"Where did this person go?" Since Xu Gong is not dead, then he must be eliminated.

"This Xu Gong went out of the city with a team of armor soldiers."

"Out of town? Which direction.? ”

"West." The black-clothed armor man said to Zhou Yu.

"West?" Zhou Yu's eyes widened and he wanted to stand up, but he sat down again, "Go, help me find out where the second son is." Let the second son come to see me."

The black-clothed armor soldier on the side didn't know why Zhou Yu wanted to investigate the second son, but he still took the order.

"Xu Gong, Xu Gong didn't die? Is it the dereliction of duty of the second son? Or did he just run away in the first place? Zhou Yu was thinking in his heart, he wanted to ask Sun Quan whether this Xu Gong had been killed in the first place, because the main person in charge of killing Xu Gong's family was Sun Quan, so Zhou Yu needed to find this party.

Soon the black-clad man returned, "Where is the second son?" ”

"Back to the Grand Governor, the second prince is not in the mansion!"

"What! The second son is not in the mansion, have you asked his housekeeper where the second son has gone! “

"Listening to the housekeeper, the second son seems to have gone out of the city!"

"Huo!" Zhou Yu stood up suddenly, Ximen? Out of town? The lord went out of the city from the west gate to hunt, Xu Gong also went out from the west gate, and the second son who was directly related to Xu Gong also went out of the city.

"Not good!" Zhou Yu is such a smart person, he immediately found out that there was something strange in it, Xu Gong did not die, this is inseparable from the second prince Sun Quan, if Xu Gong escaped, then he should not appear in Jiangdong, but how far he should run, now Xu Gong is out of the city, Sun Ce also went out, Sun Quan also went out, Zhou Yu has seen the relationship clearly.

"Hurry up and come with me." Zhou Yu stood up, he wanted the armor on the ship, but the armor was too troublesome, so he directly picked up the long sword on the side and "Prepare the horse to go out of the city." ”

"What's wrong with the Grand Duke?"

"The lord is in danger!" Zhou Yu replied and immediately hit his horse and left, followed by the black-clothed armor soldiers. (To be continued......)
