Above the Han River.

The three flagships hung brocade sails and headed in the direction of Xiling County.

At this time, it has moved away from the territory of Jiangdong and entered the territory of Jiangxia.

It was Sun Quan who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and he didn't dare to chase and kill Su Ming anymore.

The ship had to sail on the Han River for a few more days before it could reach Xiling County.

Su Ming, Tai Shi Ci and they fought hard for a few hours, and they were already exhausted.

It was already night, and they were resting in their cabins.

Su Ming was lying on the bed, and a familiar system prompt sound sounded in his head.

[Congratulations, you have completed the task, go to the meeting alone, and go to Jiangdong alone. 】

[Reward: Hundred Steels. 】

As the system prompt fell, Su Ming's hands had more booklets.

Su Ming opened the booklet and saw that it was really densely recorded with the Hundred Steelmaking Method.

Moreover, the system is quite intimate, and this hundred steelmaking methods are still written in Lishu, the main font of the Three Kingdoms period.

Because of inheriting the memory of the original owner, Su Ming can still read and understand.

However, this 100 steel-making method written in Lishu, Su Ming really can't understand it.

This is the skill of a craftsman, interlaced like a mountain, Su Ming is naturally completely incomprehensible.

"If you want to refine this hundred steels, as well as the shipbuilding technology obtained from Qi Jiguang's martial spirit, I'm afraid you have to find a suitable master craftsman!" Su Ming muttered to himself.

A master craftsman during the Three Kingdoms period, Su Ming, as a person who was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, began to look for relevant memories in his own memory.

After searching for a long time, Su Ming found two people, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

Both of them were famous craftsmen during the Three Kingdoms period, Ma both worked for the Wei State, and Pu Yuan worked for the Shu State.

Wait, no!

Since there is no record of the specific ages of these two in history, it is only recorded that Ma Jun once served as the minister of Wei during the Cao Pi period.

And Pu Yuan was the Western Cao Lu who served as the prime minister in Shu.

What does the official position held by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan illustrate?

It shows that the period when they appeared should be the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms.

You must know that the state of Wei is 220 years, and the state of Shu is 221 years.

And now, it's 200 years.

In other words, there are still twenty years before the Wei State and the Shu State.

If you extrapolate according to this time, then Ma Jun and Pu Yuan are still two children.

Ma Jun, Pu Yuan must not be able to count on it, it is impossible, what kind of craftsman cultivation plan is played, right?

For a while, Su Ming couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Therefore, I simply didn't want to think about it, and when I went back, I handed over this matter to the military advisor Xu Shu to handle it.

What do you want a military advisor for, that is, to solve incurable diseases for yourself.

Thinking of this, Su Ming simply didn't want to think about it, and after he went back, he would leave this matter to Xu Shu to handle.

Jiangxia.

Xiling County.

After a few days of sailing, Su Ming and the others finally arrived at Xiling Ferry.

Seeing the three Jiangdong flagships that sailed into the Xiling Ferry, Su Fei, Qin Qi and other generals were extremely surprised.

They thought to themselves, the lord is really powerful!

I went to Jiangdong this time, how did I get back three Jiangdong flagships!

Su Ming and the others got off the boat and came to Xiling Ferry.

Only then did I find out that Xiling Ferry was simply too lively today.

Especially outside the Xiling Ferry, it can be described as a sea of people, with flags waving, and the people gathered outside, as if to welcome Su Ming's smooth return.

Su Ming: "????? ”

Su Ming was a little confused!

Su Ming thought to himself, am I so loved in Jiangxia now?

It stands to reason that his deeds in Jiangdong should not spread so quickly. Moreover, even if it spreads to Jiangxia, it won't be so many people who come to greet him, right?

You must know that Huang Zu has been operating in Jiangxia for more than ten years, and he has just seized Jiangxia, so the people shouldn't love themselves so much!

"Yuan Zhi, what's going on?"

"Are we so loved by the people? What kind of ecstasy soup have you poured into these people? Su Ming said to Xu Shu on the side.

Xu Shu replied in a low voice: "It's so simple! I exempted the people for three years, and paid 30% of the tax, and the people naturally loved us. ”

Su Ming: "?????? ”

Three years, 30% of the tax?

This is equivalent to directly exempting the people from paying taxes for one year!

You must know that in this era of war, the princes of all parties are thinking of ways to increase taxes, and Su Ming, who reduces taxes, is still the first one.

The people have benefited, and naturally support and love Su Ming.

Now, the people hope that Su Ming can occupy Jiangxia. Because, only if Su Ming can firmly guard Jiangxia and promise them that within three years, thirty percent of the tax will be exempted!

If Jiang Xia changed to other princes, he would definitely not keep the promise left by Su Ming.

"You're such a loser!"

"I'm going to build a ship next and build an invincible navy."

"Lack of money?" Zhao Que whispered in Xu Shu's ear.

Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said softly: "Lord, although Jiangxia is rich, it is a small county. ”

"In this county, it is the limit to raise 30,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to build an invincible navy, I'm afraid it's not enough to hollow out Jiangxia's family foundation! ”

"To build an invincible naval army, it's still not enough to pay more than 30% of the tax, lord, you have to think of another way!"

An invincible troll?

For now, Jiangdong's naval army is invincible.

In terms of the navy alone, there are 100,000 sailors in Jiangdong.

However, there are six counties in Jiangdong!

Moreover, the six counties of Koto are all large counties.

The six counties of Jiangdong and the nine counties of Jingxiang, it sounds like Liu Biao's territory is bigger than Sun Quan's?

Actually, it's not.

The six counties of Jiangdong are much stronger than Jingzhou in terms of territory, population, and wealth.

Su Ming now has only one Jiangxia County, and in this county, it is just right to raise 30,000 soldiers and horses.

If it is more, it will become a burden on Jiang Xia, and it will be a bit of a reckless force.

"Yuan Zhi, I'm short of money!"

"Money, I really don't have a trick, you have to give me a way!" Su Ming asked Xu Shu for advice.

Xu Shu groaned slightly and said, "Lord, you have to ask the prime minister for this money!" ”

"We are the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of the prime minister, and it is a matter of course to build a naval army and let the court allocate money."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused for a moment and analyzed: "If you want money, the lord has to go to Guandu as soon as possible." ”

"Jizhou Yuan Benchu is a big family, after the prime minister won the battle of Guandu, he took over the wealth left by the third prince of Yuan Benchu, and when the time comes, there will be many people who reach out to ask for money."

"Let's find something to reach out for, and we can have more freedom in the future."

(ps: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, monthly pass, I want a monthly pass.) ）
