Chapter 48: You Don't Understand Anyway

Soon, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong ministers to a banquet for Lu Bu.

This is a real feast, not Liu Bei's wild vegetable soup at all.

All kinds of fish and shrimp meat are also available.

"Waiting, how is the food and drink?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

Lu Bu smiled back: "Very good, braised fish, braised shrimp, braised pork ribs, fish-flavored chicken, mapo tofu." Wu Hou's feast is very rich! ”

"Hahaha!" Sun Ce laughed: "If it weren't for Wen Hou to create an iron pot and spread the method of stir-frying, how could I have such delicious food!" ”

Lu Bu smiled and was noncommittal.

"Hey!" Sun Ce sighed lightly again: "Ben Hou often wonders, how kind of whimsical can Wen Hou create so many things? ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "If I say that it is a gods, will Wu Hou believe it?" ”

"This!" Sun Ce froze.

This question is not simple.

You know, since ancient times, which emperor has not come up with this set of gods and ghosts.

Even the ancestor who was born at the grassroots level also made an allusion to the white snake.

Lu Bu made a god and a god, how could he not ascend to that supreme position.

At this moment, the atmosphere is somewhat frozen. In order to relieve Sun Ce's embarrassment, one person immediately coughed dryly and said: "Wen Hou is a pedantic celestial, comparable to the public loss class and Mozi." For example, the papermaking technique must also be an improvement given in Cai Lun's technique. The art of printing is also based on the principle of seals. The words of gods and ghosts should not be taken lightly! ”

Lu Bu smiled, is it comparable to Lu Ban and Mozi. How could his knowledge be understood by the people of the world?

But I also have to say that he is indeed standing on the foundation of his predecessors. As Newton put it, it is to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

"In Xia Lusu, the word is respectful!" Lu Su clenched his fists.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zijing!" Lu Bu said with a smile: "The theory of gods and ghosts is really not credible, and I just like to observe things more!" ”

"I see!" Lu Su smiled instantly, and then said: "Dare to ask Wen Hou, the military supplies mentioned in Wen Hou's letter before are they really counted?" ”

"Of course!" Lu Budao: "It's just that Wu Hou still needs to promise me a few conditions." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce instantly sighed.

Sure enough, Lu Bu, this kid, was beating his sister's idea.

If Lu Bu said it in public, then would he refuse, or would he refuse!

Secretly swallowing his saliva, Sun Ce still asked, "Let's talk about it." ”

Lu Bu said in a positive voice: "Ben Hou hopes that Wu Hou can temporarily settle with Liu Biao, and then send troops to conquer Shanyue and Jiaozhou. ”

Well?

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.

Not to mention Liu Biao's troops for the time being, this expedition to Shanyue and Jiaozhou was already within the military plan of Soochow. What benefits can Lu Bu get, it seems that there is no one.

Sun Ce frowned: "Wen Hou, please continue!" ”

Lu Bu continued: "Although General Sun was killed by Huang Zu's subordinates, it is the fate of my generation to die on the battlefield. Therefore, I hope that Wu Hou will temporarily stop using troops against Liu Biao and pacify Shanyue and Jiaozhou first. Although Jiaozhou is sparsely populated, it is vast and rich in all kinds of materials. The sunshine in the south is sufficient, and two crops of rice can be planted in a year, and three crops can be planted in Zhuyazhou and other places. As long as these boundaries are occupied, Wu Hou will no longer have to worry about food. ”

"Shhh Sun Ce took a deep breath.

He was shocked by what Lu Bu said about the prospect, if there was no shortage of food, then how many soldiers and horses he could recruit, and how strong his strength would be.

Forced to feel excited, Sun Ce asked: "Wen Hou has said so much, it seems that he hasn't said the benefits Wen Hou wants!" ”

"Hahaha!" Lu Bu smiled: "Wu Hou still can't figure it out? ”

Sun Ce frowned, shook his head after thinking for a while, and said, "Wen Hou should just say it!" ”

Lu Bu smiled: "It's very simple, because Ben Hou wants to hand over the materials of the two states. What this candidate wants is to make friends with Wu Hou and exchange businessmen. For example, grain, fruits, silk and linen, etc. ”

As soon as he said this, Sun Ce's essence flashed and he suddenly realized.

"Wen Hou really made a good calculation!" Sun Ce said with a smile: "I heard that Wen Hou has established a distribution center in Xuzhou, but all commodities can be sold directly in Xuzhou." Similarly, all materials can also be purchased from Xuzhou. Wen Hou only focuses on commercial taxes, which can not only collect a large amount of taxes, but also earn the difference in the middle. In this way, Wen Hou can't even think about getting rich! ”

Lu Bu smiled: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." If there is no benefit, why bother me. I need a rubber sap at present, and this rubber tree should be available in Jiaozhou and Zhuyazhou. Wu Hou only needs to send someone to collect this sap and sell it to me, and I will buy it with gold and silver. ”

"Oh~!" Sun Ce couldn't help but groan: "Wen Hou attaches so much importance to this sap, I'm afraid this thing is extraordinary!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Lu Bu looked up and smiled: "Anyway, you don't understand, why do you ask so much." There is money to earn, will Wu Hou not earn! ”

"This!" Sun Ce froze for a moment, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Wen Hou is really interesting. Okay, that's what happened. When this candidate takes Jiaozhou, he will definitely take this sap for Wen Hou! ”

The matter was negotiated, and then everyone drank and ate, and they were very harmonious.

Sun Ce Group naturally will not object, it has obtained Lu Bu's military funds for nothing, and it can expand its territory faster, how can everyone have a reason to refuse.

As for the materials that Lu Bu wanted, they were also things that made money, so why not do it.

As for why Lu Bu needed it, they would just be able to study it themselves at that time.

It can be said that both sides have got the benefits they want, how can they be unhappy.

Things are going very well, and Lu Bu is also in a good mood.

Again, the so-called power is how much material can be mobilized and how much manpower can be commanded.

Although Lu Bu was not ordered by his own subordinates, he also achieved the purpose of using the forces of Eastern Wu in the form of commercial cooperation.

You know, although rubber is basically grown in the southern zone. However, in later generations, rubber enterprises are still concentrated in Shandong, Jiangsu and other places. Jiangsu, as the largest industrial province, is not boasting. Because many things are produced in Jiangsu.

And now, Lu Bu occupies this place, how is it not more awesome.

Rubber is so important, Lu Bu really can't wait any longer.

Now, Lu Bu's industrial kingdom has grown little by little.

But with Xuzhou, that bit of material can't support Lu Bu's pace of wanting to conquer the world.

And to level the interior first, Lu Bu doesn't have that ability at all.

There are too many cities, the roads are difficult to navigate, and before there are no thermal weapons, it will not be possible to fight for ten or twenty years.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether they will be able to win.

Otherwise, the Three Kingdoms would not have fought for nearly a hundred years in history.

In the end, it was invaded by foreign races in the north, and the Han people were almost wiped out.

Therefore, Lu Bu's policy is to use the materials of the whole country to support his conquest of the world.

The northern prairie, he vowed to be pacified.
