"Xu Du and Xuzhou will be fine in the future!" Bai Tu came over and took Jian Yong's hand and said.

After Jian Yong heard this, he had an expression of eating the essence of the farmhouse.

However, when Bai Tu held his hand, Jian Yong still adjusted his state almost instinctively, and said with a smile: "Thank you Bai Gong for your concern, but Xudu and Xuzhou have their own shade of the Han Emperor, just because the thieves were in power before, and now there is some light for the time being, and there is nothing bad ......about it."

It's a pity that no one listened to him at this time, and there were recorders around him who immediately recorded this scene - seeing Bai Gong giving a speech at the Protector Festival, Jian Yong, the envoy of Xuzhou Mansion, cried bitterly, and Bai Gong comforted him, "It's going to be fine."

The official of the Ministry of Rites on the side, after Bai Tu left, immediately stepped forward and patted Jian Yong's shoulder and said, "It's going to be fine!" Thank you very much! ”

A look of the subjects of the Central Plains, all in dire straits.

The surrounding people did witness this scene, and it was foreseeable that it would spread ten or ten hundred in the future.

The only important condition that Jian Yong ignored, and the most important condition for Yangzhou's rejuvenation, was the prosperity of the people, or the improvement of productivity, which made the people feel the change and peace of mind...... Otherwise, relying on simple and empty propaganda, the fake will not be true after all.

Without this crucial basic condition, what is the use of imitating Yangzhou's opera troupes and civilian residences?

How many literate people do you have? Do you have time to watch the play?

After the end of the Protector Festival, Jian Yong finally couldn't help it and officially asked to see Bai Tu a year ago.

Originally, because of the unfavorable war in the General's Mansion this year, Jian Yong still wanted to take a deep look and wait for Bai Tu to take the initiative to see him, but after the Protector Sacrifice, Jian Yong's self-confidence was invisibly much smaller.

"Xianhe is here? Emotions calmed down, right? As soon as Bai Tu saw Jian Yong coming in, he asked with concern, as if he really believed that Jian Yong was moved to cry at the Protector Sacrifice before.

"Yong just remembered for a moment that the lord was working hard for the Han family every day, so he showed his strange appearance, which made Bai Gong smile." Jian Yong specially emphasized that my tears are not shed for you.

"Hahaha, Xianhe has been comfortable in Jinling these days? The recent changes in Jinling are too great, and even Cao Pigongzi, who came two years earlier, is now very uncomfortable. Bai Tu smiled at Jian Yong's explanation, and turned to ask about the past few days.

I don't know if I was "complaining" about Jian Yong, I didn't come to see him for the first time, or ...... secretly reminded Jian Yong that he was optimistic about the changes in Jinling - even if Xuzhou really wanted to turn his face and join forces with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the General's Mansion would have the confidence to face all challenges!

Jian Yong pretended not to understand at all, and replied flatly: "Jinling does have a prosperous atmosphere, just like Chang'an in the former Han Dynasty and Luoyang in the Later Han Dynasty. ”

It sounds like a compliment, but between the lines, there is a vague accusation of Bai Tu Buchen, and reminds him that "the Han family also has this prosperous era".

Jian Yong also deliberately teased Bai Tu, wanting to see how Bai Tu [ ] would answer, so as to judge Bai Tu's "intention".

Will you praise the Han family? Or will you be annoyed?

However, Bai Tu didn't have it, just smiled and said, "It will be better, and Xianhe will always come in the future." ”

There is no recklessness, no shame, and no justification, whether Jinling has now surpassed Luoyang and Chang'an at its peak, only infinite self-confidence.

It's just this kind of answer, which makes Jian Yong the most uncomfortable......

People no longer disdain to compare with the current Han family, even in the face of the Han family in its heyday, the answer is "it will be better...... How can this topic go on?

"Xuzhou will also be better...... It's just that this time the Xuzhou Army, when it was ordered by the emperor to go to Qingzhou, encountered an unwitting general's navy, and now it has not evacuated Qingzhou, what does Bai Gong think? Jian Yong directly brought up the matter.

"Liu Gong is out of sight! Everyone is Kuang Fu Han Room, what else is there to go on? Could it be that if something happens in Xuzhou, will my general's mansion stand by and watch? The attitude of Gandudu is the attitude of our general's palace...... Never leave your allies alone. Bai Tuyi said rhetorically, looking like he had really helped a lot, and Xuzhou Mansion was "polite".

However, Jian Yong could hear that the rest was all nonsense, only "Will the General's Mansion stand by and watch" is clearly reminding him - don't forget that Cao Cao has not unified the Central Plains first, who is helping them.

And "the attitude of Gandudu is the attitude of our general's palace" - this is what he really wants to say!

Sure enough, this guy is not ready to return Donglai County at all, and wants to stay in Qingzhou!

"The General's Mansion now spans four states, and it has opened up new overseas states, but I'm afraid that it won't be able to supervise Qingzhou, right? Wouldn't it be bad if there were some bandit attacks and it happens that the main force of the navy is not there? Of course...... This time, although the general's palace sailor army only coincided with its meeting, my lord was also willing to give them a generous gift so as not to chill them. Jian Yong said and took out the gift list.

The so-called "land spanning four states" refers to the fact that in addition to the native Yangzhou, the General's Mansion also includes Guangling County in Xuzhou, several counties in Runan County in Yuzhou, as well as three counties in Jingnan, most of Nanyang County, and several counties in Jiangxia.

The difference in strength, as well as geographical factors, make the Xuzhou Mansion a little weak in the face of the General's Mansion, as long as it does not involve core interests, it can still be allowed.

But even so, Jian Yong also has a faint threat - if you are too greedy, your navy is ready to hold on for a long time without leaving!

It is true that Qingzhou is not in Yangzhou after all, but is separated from Xuzhou, Liu Bei's base camp, unless he is really ruthless and fights with Xuzhou, he is not afraid of thieves and thieves......

"This is outside, Gandu Du and they are just after trading with Liaodong, and they just happened to meet you to attack Qingzhou, how can they receive gifts?" Bai Tu looked embarrassed, took the gift list and looked at it, and then put it aside, while chattering in his mouth: "Oh, by the way, because Xuzhou Mansion has not negotiated that big order before, we have opened a trading channel with Liaodong, and we haven't left you any goods, and we haven't said 'sorry'!" ”

Jian Yong froze when he heard this......

If the war in the General's Mansion is unfavorable this year, it is Jian Yong's bargaining chip, then ...... The General's Mansion opened up a trade route from the sea to Liaodong, which was the bargaining chip of the General's Mansion!

In the previous year, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xuzhou Mansion did not trade too much with the General's Mansion.

On the one hand, the asking price of the General's Mansion is too high, and on the other hand, it ...... It's all about exchanging ores and good horses - you use the eliminated second-line equipment, gather back the materials, and then continue to make more first-line equipment?

Although according to the thinking of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the cycle of major innovation and replacement of weapons and armor is very long, but ...... It does not affect Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and it can be seen that such a transaction will make Bai Tu bigger in vain.

What's more, Yuan Shao's weapons and equipment are the same as Cao Cao and Liu Bei, even if they don't trade with the general's mansion, they won't be left behind.

Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xuzhou Mansion both decided that Bai Tu could only trade with them now, otherwise he couldn't trade with Jingzhou Mansion, right? Rivals?

As for Jiaozhou Xie's ...... The landlord is just a landlord, and there will be nothing that can make Bai Tu happy.

However, now that Bai Tu has really opened up a maritime trade route, listening to Bai Tu's tone, it seems that the transaction volume with the Gongsun clan is not small!

This made Jian Yong have to think about it, otherwise...... Maybe not yet, but who knows if Yuan Shao continues to be suppressed by Cao Liu, will Bai Tu be frenzied from Liaodong to trade weapons and armor with Yuan Shao?

"Oh? But I heard about it below...... Gandutu doesn't seem to have brought any goods to Qingzhou? Ahem...... Of course, I didn't question Bai Gong, I just thought that if there was any Liaodong specialty, maybe I Xuzhou would also be willing to trade with Bai Gong. Jian Yong indirectly questioned.

In fact, there are also some elements of "fraud" Baitu, after all, Gan Ning's fleet, whether it brings goods or not, Xuzhou Mansion is not so convinced!

"I really didn't bring any goods, I just handed over some unused weapons and armor to General Gongsun, who was fighting against the alien races in the north. After all, now that the DPRK and China are out of order, our general's palace can't chill the frontier soldiers......"

Bai Tu said it beautifully, and those who didn't know thought that he really provided supplies to Liaodong for free.

It's just that in Jian Yong's opinion, this is particularly harsh, as if he is saying...... The Han family can't take care of the border anymore, and they still want me to take care of the general's mansion, tsk...... Then you might as well hand over a more important mission to the General's Mansion in the future!

Jian Yong groaned and said, "Could it be that Liaodong is a vassal to the General's Mansion?" Ahem, I mean, could it be that Liaodong will be divided into the war area of the General's Mansion? ”

You can't say anything nonsense, but Jian Yong obviously deliberately "made a mistake".

Bai Tu pretended not to care, but continued: "It's just a matter of saying 'ministers', it's just to strengthen communication!" In order to allow Yangzhou to have more contact and communication with Liaodong in the future, General Gongsun specially set aside a port for the navy of our province to garrison troops and a public field in several counties. ”

Well, in terms of area, Lushunkou and Dalian in later generations ...... That is, the current "Qiangshi" is nominally a county, but because it is in Liaodong, which is vast and sparsely populated, it is also more sparsely populated, so there are "several counties" in the Central Plains!

It's just that when Bai Tu said this, it didn't seem like he gave the navy a station, but it seemed like he gave him half of Liaodong.

Of course, Jian Yong could understand that there was a vague part in the words, but it was just ...... It is not difficult to judge the "nature" of Bai Tu's words!

The Gongsun clan of Liaodong, this is at the cost of allowing the navy of the General's Mansion to be stationed in order to obtain the right to trade?

Without waiting for Jian Yong to think further, Bai Tu continued: "It just so happens that now Gandu Governor has also defeated Yuan Tan and regained the coastal area of Donglai, so that in the future, as long as the ports are built in Dongmu County and Huang County, not only will it be more convenient for Yangzhou to trade with Qingzhou, but it will even be included in the trading circle between the General's Mansion and Liaodong and Sanhan from here!" ”

Garbage talk such as Gandudu defeating Yuan Tan was filtered out, and Jian Yong also heard what Bai Tu meant.

Seemingly...... The land part can be discussed, but the coastal area must be used as a garrison for the general's mansion, otherwise all the previous transactions will be abandoned!

However, at the same time, if the Xuzhou government agreed, not only the weapons and equipment of Yangzhou, but also the horses of Liaodong could flow into Qingzhou from the port of the general's mansion.

As a result, Jian Yong was also a little hesitant......
