Chapter 630: Unhappy
With the passage of time, some amazing changes are taking place in Jiangxia......
On the other side, in Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou, Liu Bei has completely gained a firm foothold and reached a tacit understanding with the Jingzhou family.
Although most of Liu Bei's skill points are in martial arts, he has a rare advantage, that is, he has not completely forgotten the people at the bottom.
With the restoration of normal order in Xiangyang, the streets are prosperous and business is prosperous, and the lives of the people at the bottom have gradually improved.
Zhuge Liang is indeed a rare genius in governing internal affairs, and a mere Xiangyang is in his hands, and he soon restores the prosperous scene of the past.
Not only that, because Liu Bei's male soldiers have a lot of deterrent power for the Jingzhou family, and there is no family gentleman in the city, and the life of ordinary people is even better.
On this day, Liu Bei and his two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, once again came to the streets of Xiangyang in disguise, feeling the noisy and lively atmosphere around them, and the smile on their faces never dissipated.
"Second brother and third brother, with Xiangyang Xiongcheng as a support, our strength will expand rapidly in the future!"
casually found a street wine shop, and seeing that there were no outsiders in the wine shop, Liu Bei let down his guard and chuckled: "I believe that in a few years, I will have the strength to fight against Cao Jun!" ”
"I don't want Zhuge to be in civil affairs, and his ability is still outstanding!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and chuckled: "The current Xiangyang weather, I'm afraid it is a higher level than when Zhijing was in the palace!" ”
Liu Bei chuckled lightly, although he didn't say anything to echo, but the look on his face said it all.
Zhang Fei shouted: "What do you do with so much, when our soldiers are full, we will drive Liu Cong out of Nanyang first!" ”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Cao Jun's side has long been guarding against us, not only Cao Ren, who is the best at guarding, but also Pang De and Yu Ban to assist, it is not so easy to deal with!" ”
Liu Bei nodded silently, he also felt that Nanyang was not easy to deal with......
"Can we learn Huang Hansheng's methods!"
Zhang Fei didn't care, and said with a smile: "Huang Hansheng took Jiangling City so easily, let's learn from it!" ”
"I'm afraid it's impossible, the third brother thinks Cao Jun won't be able to defend himself?"
Guan Yu's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Cao Ren was guarding Jiangling City, but there was no general support by his side, and now there are two first-class powerhouses, Pang De and Yu Ban, but it's not for fun!" ”
Zhang Fei said disapprerovitically: "There are more masters on our side!" ”
"The only one who has the ability to shoot is Zilong!"
Guan Yu smiled bitterly: "The rest of the means, for Nanyang Xiongcheng, the effect is not much!" ”
Nanyang was the smelting center of the world in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the place of Emperor Guangwu's Longxing, which shows the scale of the city and the strength of defense.
Liu Bei said suddenly: "If you borrow Huang Hansheng to come over, did you take Nanyang City from me in one fell swoop?" ”
The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although Nanyang has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Yuan Shu's toss has withered.
—————
But the foundation of many years is not to be played, whether it is the population or talents in all aspects, it is quite rich.
"I'm afraid it's hard!"
Guan Yu said: "Nanyang is not far from Xu, and the Cao army can reinforce heavy troops at any time, once the war of attrition is reached, it will be unfavorable to us!" ”
Liu Bei nodded helplessly, this is also something that cannot be helped.
In addition, what Guan Yu did not say was that as the place of Emperor Guangwu's dragon rejuvenation, the family in Nanyang was extremely powerful.
With the delicate relationship between Liu Bei and the family, it is not easy to get their support and recognition at all.
In this era, without the recognition and help of the local family, if you want to completely stabilize the place, unless you spread your tentacles to the countryside like Jiang Xia did, nothing will go well.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was already the peak of the development of the family.
Further, it is an even crazier era of gate valves!
The so-called gate valve era is just a member of the gate valve, or the spokesperson for the launch of the gate valve, and all the resources of the whole world are in the hands of the gate valve family.
At that time, it was the time when Shenzhou's strength was the weakest.
Because whether it is the so-called Son of Heaven or the family of gate valves, what they value most is the interests of the family, and the so-called interests of the country and the court are simply disdainful.
Of course, the current situation is not so bad as that of such fields.
Because of Liu Bei's own experience, his relationship with the family has never been very good.
That is, at this time, the soldiers in his hands are strong, and he can completely suppress the limelight of the Jingzhou family, otherwise he is another Liu Jingsheng-like existence.
At the moment, the time is still short, and I can't see how much contradiction he has with the Jingzhou family, but it's really hard to say after a long time.
With the character of the people at the bottom that he has always valued, there will always be contradictions and conflicts with the Jingzhou family that exploits the people seriously.
"Guest, this is the wine you ordered, authentic Jiangxia fruit wine!"
At this moment, the store delivered a pot of fruit wine and a plate of boiled fish.
"Jiangxia fruit wine?"
Zhang Fei picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the three brothers, and asked curiously: "When did this kind of wine appear?" ”
After speaking, he shook his head and said: "This wine tastes a little fruity, but the strength is too small, and it is not enjoyable to drink!" ”
"The guests don't know that this Jiangxia fruit wine is very popular in Xiangyang, especially the literati and gentlemen like it very much!"
The owner of the wine shop smiled: "The main thing is that the fruit wine is not very strong, and it is not on the top!" ”
The subtext is, everyone says yes.
"Anyway, I don't like it, is there any spirits?"
Zhang Fei was dissatisfied: "The men in the army want to drink spirits, what kind of fruit wine do you drink?" ”
"Yes, but the price is not cheap!"
The owner of the wine shop was not angry, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the guests want it?" ”
Zhang Fei didn't speak, he directly took out the money and slapped it on the table, and the owner of the wine shop came over with a small wine jar without saying a word, and said with a smile: "This is Jiangxia Qingquan brewing, quite a top liquor, but ordinary people can hardly bear it!" ”
"I like spirits!"
Zhang Fei was delighted, directly picked up the wine jar and opened it, and poured it into his mouth, feeling that a line of fire fell from his throat to his stomach, and the whole person seemed to be uncomfortable with the fire.
"Good wine, really good wine!"
Zhang Fei was already a little upset at this time, and asked drunkly, "Do you want the two brothers to come?" ”
Liu Bei and Guan Yu subconsciously shook their heads, they didn't like to drink as much as Zhang Fei.
Not to mention that Zhang Fei was drinking a lot there, Liu Bei asked curiously while tasting the unique fruit wine: "Why is the wine in the wine shop related to Jiangxia?" ”
Seeing that there were no other guests, the owner of the wine shop simply moved a long bench over and sat down, and explained with a smile: "The quality of the wine produced in Jiangxia is very good, there are not so many sundries, and the wine is clear and not turbid!" ”
"In addition, the price is quite close to the people, and the average guest can't drink other drinks after drinking, which is also a helpless thing!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the plate of boiled fish on the table, and said with a wry smile: "It's not just the wine, it's the boiled fish that the guests enjoy, but it's transported from Jiangxia!" ”
"Oh, Xiangyang is also near the water!"
Liu Bei's heart moved, and he was curious: "Is there no fish in Xiangyang?" ”
"Of course there is, but it's not on a scale!"
The owner of the wine shop said with a wry smile: "I heard that over there in Jiangxia, the government organizes fishermen to catch river fish, and then buys them and sells them to other places quickly!" ”
"Let's just say that Xiangyang is here, I heard that in order to bring the fish safely, Jiangxia has spent a lot of energy, making ice cubes and sending strong soldiers to help transport them, and even building rail cars!"
"There is no such good thing here in Xiangyang, all the fishermen are fighting their own battles, and it is difficult to transport the harvested fish in time!"
"Take a small shop as an example, at least ten big fish of more than two catties a day, and twenty small fish of about one catty, but unfortunately the fishermen here in Xiangyang can't meet the needs of the store, so they can only buy outside!"
Liu Bei only felt that the fish was not delicious, and the fruit wine he drank in his mouth was not sweet.
glanced at Guan Yu, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
When he came out of the wine shop, Zhang Fei was already too drunk to look good, and Liu Bei ordered the guards who followed him to send him away.
"Yun Chang, let's continue walking on the street!"
Liu Bei had something on his mind, and he and Guan Yu continued to wander around the bustling and noisy streets of Xiangyang, checking some situations while observing the people's feelings.
This time, the two brothers consciously checked the goods from Jiangxia in Xiangyang City.
I don't know if I don't check the results, and I'm shocked when I check it.
It seems that Jiangxia commodities are all-inclusive, including clothing, food, housing and transportation, and all of them are relatively popular commodities, which sell very well in Xiangyang City.
For example, freshly baked paper, as well as paper books that appear on paper, as well as goods such as the four treasures of the study, are almost completely monopolized by Jiangxia products.
There are also food pastries from Jiangxia, which are known for their delicious taste and low price, and are very loved by the people of Xiangyang.
But all the shops that sell Jiangxia desserts are not uncomfortable, and the market is very prosperous.
Naturally, the liquor is also included, and the liquor produced in Xiangyang is almost a failure.
Who called the wine produced by Jiangxia, not only the taste is better, but also the appearance is excellent.
Even, even the cloth produced in Jiangxia is selling quite well in Xiangyang City, and it has a tendency to sweep.
In short, walking around several bustling streets in Xiangyang City, almost all of them are scenes of hot sales of Jiangxia goods.
But Liu Bei's mood was not happy at all.
Since Jiangxia products are so popular, the profits are also quite good.
In other words, the more prosperous the streets of Xiangyang City, the more goods from Jiangxia will be earned.
Co-author, part of the wealth of Xiangyang City has flowed into Jiangxia through the hot-selling Jiangxia goods, and what Liu Bei can get is a small amount of taxes?
Such a result is obviously not what he wants!
"Yun Chang, it seems that we still have a lot of work to do, at least we can't let Jiangxia earn all the wealth here......
