Chapter 370: The Scene of Yangzhou City
"Thank you Cai Dudu for your hospitality-the good things we said before must be done as soon as possible, and now the people waiting are estimated to be full of Yangzhou City, don't blame me for not reminding you, if it weren't for looking at Kuai Yue's face and your own proficiency in water warfare, believe it or not, Zhou Yu wants to crush you Cai Mao is as easy as an ant, do you think you are more capable than Zhang Jiao? Cai Du Du is good for himself - come here, send Cai Du Du and Mr. Xenodu off the ship! "Zhou Yu and they are almost to Chibi, Cai Mao's Jingzhou Navy is far behind, Cai Mao's face began to turn pale from the Yangzhou Navy ship, Zhou Yu took him to visit the three warships, through his years of experience in water warfare, the Yangzhou Navy warships are indeed much stronger than him in terms of technology or combat effectiveness.
The loss on the banquet was timely for Kuai Yue, otherwise Cai Mao felt that his head would move, and this time the lesson made him know that Zhou Yu was not easy to mess with. Facing the murderous aura from Dian Wei, Zhou An, Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Zhang Liao, and Guan Hai, Cai Mao almost peed his pants. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao are both big families in Jingzhou, and they will depend on each other if they fight with each other, and Kuai Yue can't help but save Cai Mao at this juncture.
"Brother Deju, you are really confused! Such a good opportunity to make money was just given up? Do you know how long I have been salivating over the profits on the Yangtze River, and how much more than 500,000 taels of money have been saved by saving this part of the expenses of my Kuai family in a year? Now that you Jingzhou Navy is weak, then you don't take risks to do some foolish things, Zhou Yu you have also heard of this person, the person who can make him suffer has not yet been born, you have also seen the development of Yangzhou in the past six months, how many literati and artists have gone to Yangzhou to play, Yangzhou can now be said to be making money every day. In such a good situation, if we take advantage of the lack of reaction from others to befriend Yangzhou, where will this money come from? Now there is no beacon fire in Yangzhou except for Luoyang and Jingzhou, so think about it! I pity you for the three percent just now-" Kuai Yue turned his back on Zhou Yu and talked to Cai Mao alone, he concluded that Zhou Yu did not mean to kill Cai Mao, after all, it is not easy to kill Cai Mao if he is a naval governor, but he really has nothing to say about Cai Mao's stupidity. He paid 500,000 taels for himself, and he knew that Cai Mao could get 30%, so he might as well buy more suitable ones from Cai Mao, but Cai Mao was too greedy and insufficient, and he wanted to calculate others but was calculated by others, which really made Kuai Yue look at Cai Mao with admiration!
"Brother Xenodu—are you telling the truth? I also know how big the profit is, otherwise I wouldn't have come to fight for this profit, how do I know that such a person can't take a Zhou Yu, so what should I do now? Please teach me Brother Xenodu-" Cai Mao was in a cold sweat in his head, and he also blamed himself for being too anxious, and blocked the road all of a sudden, he had to enjoy the thirty percent of the profits, but he had to have a Hongmen banquet because his brain was hot, and in the end, he regarded himself as a pig and sent it to be slaughtered.
"Spend money to avoid disasters – that's it!" Kuai Yue shrugged and said, what he means is that I can help you is at this point, as for whether you listen or not, it is your Cai Mao's business, I hope you don't be so brainless, you can't understand the truth that the world makes the most money, right?
In the end, Cai Mao could only kneel in front of Zhou Yu with his head down and admit his mistake, willing to take out one million taels to buy thirty percent of the profit, he felt that Jingzhou Junshui could be converted into one hundred thousand taels of silver, after all, Zhou Yu just said that he would give him thirty percent of the profit. At this time, Cai Mao was still lucky, he forgot that Zhou Yu said that he would not be allowed to leave the Jingzhou Water Village in the future, as long as he left the Jingzhou Water Village, he would immediately let the Yangzhou Water Army abolish him.
"Hmph - Cai Dudu's memory is greater than forgetfulness, do you think that I, Zhou Yu, will be the one who lacks this million taels of silver, but what I Zhou Yu wants is to make money in harmony, one million taels and one percent profit in a word, but your Jingzhou Navy can be counted as one percent profit, the route of the Jingzhou Navy on the Yangtze River must be in accordance with Yangzhou's plan, first set a three-month deadline to see the performance of your Jingzhou Army, and I will fulfill my promise if I perform well!" When Cai Mao heard that he could only buy one percent of the profit for one million taels of silver, he almost jumped up and was about to scold his mother, but Zhou Yu's big gasp calmed him down again, and now he has no choice but to do what Zhou Yu said.
Watching Cai Mao's ship slowly walk away, Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze, he turned back to the generals and said, "Are you very confused about why I didn't kill Cai Mao, remember one thing, we are not bandits, not bandits, we don't need to kill people if we can solve it without killing people, we are the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and we have to act like an official army." Let's go - it's not too early for us to delay, it's time to go back to Yangzhou! Gan Ning and Ding Feng will explain the defense and go back to Yangzhou together——"
After returning to Yangzhou, Zhou Yu first needed to convene a meeting of all the civil and military generals, and after walking for so long, he didn't know what happened to the development of Yangzhou? Zhou Yu galloped towards Yangzhou City along the way, and when he was still twenty miles away from Yangzhou City, he began to abandon the official road and take the path, as long as there was a village, he would stay for a while. The team stayed on the official road, only Zhang Liao and Zhou An accompanied Zhou Yu, and among the generals present, these two people looked more elegant. Otherwise, when you arrive in the village, you won't think that a bandit is coming.
"Old man, please ask us why we are happy when you are farming? What the hell is going on - can you tell me about it? Zhou Yu looked at the farmer uncle who was planting rice at the edge of the field with a smile on his face, and his family members were all helping, but they seemed to be in good spirits.
"This son is a rich son at a glance, we face the loess every day with their backs to the sky in order to be able to eat a full stomach, recently Lord Thorn Shi issued a decree saying that it is to reduce our one-year field tax, and our Zhuangzi Zhang family master does not dare to disobey the order of Lord Thorn Shi, this year if you don't pay taxes, our family's life will be better, and I will be able to save some money for my son to ask for a daughter-in-law, otherwise I don't even have the money to ask for a matchmaker! Do you see this canal? It's also the official sent by Lord Thorn Shi to help repair it.,Although it's our people, we can also deduct a share of taxes.,Do you see that big waterwheel in the distance? It was also repaired by Lord Thorn Shi - I really hope that such a good day can continue in the future. According to Zhou Yu's instructions, Cheng Yu began to carry out some reforms, but the pilot of the reform was selected in Zhuangzi near Yangzhou, what is the most important thing in Yangzhou? That's the water source, but the terrain here is undulating, and irrigation is difficult to get and the grain production is low.
Zhou Yu knows that the weather in Yangzhou is suitable, as long as it is managed well, it will definitely become a grain-producing area within three years, because the Yangtze River Delta in later generations is a well-known grain-producing area. After listening to his uncle's words, Zhou Yu felt that he had a long way to go, but it was just a short period of time that could bring infinite longing to these people, and he made up his mind to let this life continue, and only when he filled his stomach could he consider other developments. He walked to several villages and saw the official errand on the side to guide the construction of waterwheels and repair ditches, it seems that Cheng Yu's work is still good, but I don't know what else is doing?
