When Fang Zhiwen and Xueye met in the oasis in the blizzard, in the distant Jixian County, in Liu Yu's state pastor's mansion, Zhu Qigongzi and Zhen Ergongzi visited Liu Bo'an together.

Arranging to meet the titular boss of Youzhou at night was not Zhu Qigongzi's idea, but the time agreed by Liu Yu's staff Cheng Xu, perhaps, this also represents Liu Yu's thoughts.

As for the second son of Zhen who appeared together, it was the second son of Zhen who took the initiative to visit Liu Yu with Zhu Qigongzi, and Zhu Qigongzi naturally welcomed this request, as for Liu Yu, if he did not agree, the second son of Zhen would not be able to enter the gate of the state pastoral mansion.

Recently, Liu Yu's mood is still good, Gongsun Chan really obediently went to Yuyang County to take up his post, although he still has a tail in Liaodong County, but Liu Yu is not very worried, once Changli County and Youbeiping are controlled, Gongsun Zhan's army will be cut off, which will definitely do more harm than good to Gongsun Zhan.

In addition, Yan Rou and Zhang Chun's movements are very fast, and they have basically been able to grasp the territory of Youbeiping and Liaoxi County, and the Yiren of Changli County are really cooperative.

All of this is due to Fang Zhiwen's inspiration, speaking of this Fang Zhiwen, Liu Yu's heart is very complicated, on the one hand, he doesn't like this military man who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, on the other hand, he has to admire this guy's cleverness and boldness, it is said that he is now on the grassland with the Ton on the bar, which is also a good thing for Liu Yu, no matter what the final result is, it is not a bad thing for Liu Yu, or it will not be worse!

If Fang Zhiwen wins a big victory on the grassland, then Fang Zhiwen's power will grow, but in the same way, his eyes will also be on the grassland, and he must guard against the Xianbei people who are much stronger than Wuhuan, as well as the remnants of the Wuhuan people.

If Fang Zhiwen is defeated, then needless to say, the weakened Fang Zhiwen will attack and defend with the Wuhuan people, and when the time comes, he will be busy dealing with the Wuhuan people, where can he still care about the affairs in the south.

If you don't win and go undefeated, it's not the same to be busy fighting against Wu Huan.

For Liu Yu, no matter what the result is, first of all, the Wuhuan people have no intention to continue to go south, and they can't clean up Fang Zhiwen, they will definitely not have the courage to go south again.

Therefore, on the whole, Liu Yu still agrees with Fang Zhiwen's conclusion, there is no fundamental contradiction between Fang Zhiwen and Liu Yu, but there are many interests that are the same, for Fang Zhiwen, his only request is that Liu Yu should not become big in Youzhou, otherwise Fang Zhiwen's life will not be easy.

Of course, at this point, Fang Zhiwen will not take action personally, with Gongsun Chan, a sworn enemy, Liu Yu can't deal with it, on the contrary, Fang Zhiwen has to find ways to help Liu Yu fight against the increasingly powerful Gongsun Chan.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Liu Yu decided to meet Zhu Qigongzi and Zhen Ergongzi, who came back from Miyun City and passed through Jixian County, and maybe there would be an unexpected gain.

Liu Yu met Zhu Qigongzi and Zhen Ergongzi in the side hall, for the identity of the two, this is very courteous, the hall is lit with candles, the incense burner on the side of the desk is faintly green smoke, the room exudes a faint sandalwood fragrance, the surrounding windows are hung with bamboo curtains, the subordinates have retreated, and there are only Liu Yu, Cheng Xu and two young visitors who are kneeling in the hall.

"Why are the two families visiting?"

Liu Yu's voice is not loud, but it is full of energy, and it sounds very majestic, although the atmosphere in the side hall will not be as strict as the main hall, but Liu Yu's authority does not need to be deliberately displayed, Liu Yu was born in the royal family, and the nobility on his body has penetrated into his bones.

Zhu Qigongzi glanced at Zhen Ergongzi, and saw that Zhen Ergongzi didn't mean to speak, so he turned his head to look at Liu Yu, and tried to behave more steadily and wisely and said: "My lord, Jun is here to help the boss." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, Zhu Qigongzi's beginning is not bad, some lobbyists mean, but a little too deliberate, but young people like to grandstand, so Liu Yu just smiled and asked funny.

"Oh, how can Zhu Gongzi help me?"

"Boss, Jun and Zhen Gongzi went to Miyun City this time because they were invited by Miyun Fang Taishou, do you know what Fang Taishou and us are talking about?"

Zhen Ergongzi glanced at Zhu Qigongzi, his face was a little worried, Zhu Qigongzi wanted to have a relationship with Liu Yu, Zhen Ergongzi naturally had no opinions, and even Zhen Ergongzi wanted to take this opportunity to have a friendship with Liu Yu, but Zhu Qigongzi should not talk about Fang Taishou, let alone easily leak the transaction with Fang Taishou, which is obviously against business ethics.

Cheng Xu secretly observed the two young families, and found that the opinions of the two did not seem to be unanimous, and it seemed that they did not come together after discussion, but each had its own purpose.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, obviously he didn't like Zhu Qigongzi's way of speaking, this repeated questioning guide was not the attitude that a subordinate should have towards a superior.

Zhu Qigongzi seems to have fallen into the pace he set, and he didn't notice at all that he had caused Liu Yu's unhappiness, Zhen Ergongzi has been paying attention to Liu Yu's expression change, this is a basic skill in negotiation, so he found Liu Yu's unhappiness, but at this moment, Zhen Ergongzi naturally didn't want to remind Zhu Qigongzi.

"What did Zhu Gongzi and Fang Taishou talk about, and how did the official know? Zhu Gongzi might as well speak bluntly. ”

Liu Yu's cold tone finally made Zhu Qigongzi come to his senses, rubbed his embarrassed hands on his knees, and said in an almost flattering tone: "Fang Taishou is in urgent need of grain and grass, so he hopes to transport grain from Jiangdong to the north, the Zhu family has cooperated with the Zhen family, and has established a port warehouse at the mouth of the Qinghe River, if there is no accident, by next autumn, you can use ships to realize the transfer of grain from the south to the north." ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up, obviously very interested in this topic, Miyun City is not a secret, in fact, it is not only Miyun City that is short of food, Youzhou is basically short of food, because of the continuous invasion of the Hu people, a large number of farmers fled, resulting in a large number of abandoned fields, Youzhou's population concentrated in towns, and food naturally began to be in short supply, and this is also an important means for the local lake in Youzhou to control Liu Yu.

"Oh, what Zhu Gongzi said about the transfer of grain from the south to the north, could it be by sea?"

Zhen Ergongzi sighed silently, this Zhu Qigongzi made a big mistake in doing this, originally Qinghekou was located in Jizhou, if you want to seek official protection, you have to find Han Fu in Jizhou, you just sell Liu Yu more benefits, Liu Yu can't protect you, not to mention, Liu Yu has to be busy fighting with Gongsun Zan now, and it is difficult to protect himself.

Secondly, Zhu Qigongzi betrayed the details of Miyun City to Liu Yu, and he may not have the sinister intention of letting Liu Yu Kamiyun City's neck, did Zhu Qigongzi forget that Fang Zhiwen still has a naval army in Bohai Bay that is enough to destroy the Qinghe estuary and control the Bohai Sea waterway? When the time comes, Don't Liu Yu's sycophant was not filmed, but offended Fang Zhiwen to death, this Zhu Qigongzi is afraid that he has gone crazy.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Yu accepts your love now, what benefits can it provide you, does Liu Yu really dare to turn his face with Miyun City now? Zhu Qigongzi didn't know, Zhen Ergongzi knew the relationship between Fang Zhiwen, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan very well, and now it was too late for Liu Yu to please Fang Zhiwen, how could he offend Fang Zhiwen to death.

Moreover, Zhu Qigongzi's behavior of not keeping his word and betraying his partners behind his back will definitely leave an extremely bad impression on Liu Yu, and in the future, Zhu Qigongzi and even the Zhu family will be seriously affected in Youzhou. If Liu Yu had the heart to spread today's conversation, the Zhu family's reputation would really stink.

"The boss clearly sees that it is by sea that my Zhu family's long-distance sea ship will soon be built, and when the time comes, the moat will become a thoroughfare, and the convenience of sea transportation will be ten times that of land."

"Well, the great good! The south-to-north grain transfer can relieve the people of Youzhou from hanging upside down, Zhu Gongzi is here to set up a shop in Jixian County in order to respond to the dispatch? ”

"Not only that, my lord, the benefits of this water transport are not only on the sea, but also in the river, in the next Bucai, on the way north to Jixian County, along the way has been inspected bathing water, if adults can use the winter leisure to dredge the river, only need to dig the bath water channel deep and wide, then the five hundred stone ships at the mouth of the Qing River can go straight to Jixian County, from then on Jixian County will have no food trouble, and can become the distribution center of Youzhou grain and grass goods to the south and north, its benefits are huge, I hope the old man carefully considered."

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Qigongzi's words were really like an enlightenment! The place where the goods are gathered will not only bring huge practical benefits, but more importantly, the political benefits in it, as well as the benefits of controlling the entire Youzhou.

If this matter can be accomplished, firstly, Liu Yu will have no worries about money and food in the future, and he will no longer be restrained by the local families in Youzhou, and he will be able to let go of the checks and balances and even clean up those disobedient local families, and on the other hand, he can restrict the commerce and trade of Miyun City, Yuyang, and even Liaodong and other counties, and even further control the prices of the entire Youzhou. All of this is a huge benefit, and all I need to pay now is to levy labor to dredge the river.

Is this difficult? It's not difficult at all, building canals in winter is a basic decree, and no one can talk about it.

"Your Excellency, this is possible." Cheng Xu on the side interjected in a timely manner and set up a step for Liu Yu.

"In this case, can Zhu Gongzi come up with a specific statement, there is no talent like Gongzi here."

"I dare not try my best under 1

Zhu Qigongzi's face was happy, he was glad that he was able to catch up with Liu Yu's relationship smoothly, and more importantly, he was able to give Fang Zhiwen a hard time behind his back, and in the future, Fang Zhiwen's grain and grass will be controlled by Jixian County, and see how arrogant Fang Zhiwen can be.

Liu Yu glanced at Zhu Qigongzi, saw his happy appearance, sneered slightly, and turned to look at Zhen Ergongzi and said, "Zhen Gongzi must also agree with this matter?" ”
