As my father and mother do, I know how to move modern things to this Eastern Han Dynasty better than me.After Zhao Yu finished admiring, he hurriedly said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, let's go and get busy, these are the hard-earned money of the people, they must be strictly audited and checked, and they must be strictly protected, and there must be no mistakes." ”Gao Shun immediately apologized with both hands and said seriously: "Please rest assured, since Gao Shun is responsible for supervising the security of the bank, he will definitely not let it make any mistakes." ”After speaking, Gao Shun led the team to escort the money and silver collected today to leave the merchant and leave the first bank of the Han Dynasty.After seeing Gao Shun away, Zhao Yu looked at the cars full of sealed boxes, and said with some surprise: "Zhen Mi, how long has this bank been open" Zhen Mi didn't want to think: "Since my husband traveled to Yangzhou this time, it has only started in about a month." ”After listening to this, Zhao Yu asked casually: "Oh, it's been a month, that's not a long time, how about it, how much silver has the bank saved so far" "This" Zhen Mi thought for a while, and said lightly: "This month, there are about 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver, and millions of copper coins." ”Before Zhen Mi finished speaking, Zhao Yu was already dumbfounded, in just one month, he was able to save so much money, if it could spread to Youzhou, Qingzhou, and even Xuzhou, the amount would be incalculable."
I really didn't expect there to be so much money in such a short period of time."
In fact, Zhen Mi was also very surprised at first, before her husband came to Jizhou, there were also people in Jizhou who borrowed money from landlords, and later it was mostly because of the high interest, which caused the people to be unable to repay.It is also common to sell pots and iron, and even to sell wives, sons and daughters, which led to all this because Yuan Shao was mediocre, and the landlords and rich people wantonly looted the people.Originally, the people had no income, and under the layers of exploitation, life was like falling to the bottom, not to mention that the people could save money to earn interest, and even the interest on borrowing other people's money was not clear.But since Zhao Yu came here, to be precise, Zhao Yu has ruled Jizhou, bringing unprecedented blessings and changes to the people of Jizhou.The hegemony of the landlords and gentry was gone, and the common people gradually raised their heads and became human beings, with their own homes, fertile land, and even paid off all their debts and their own savings.Ordinary people in ordinary families have no other source of income than farming the fields, and this time the state shepherd opened such a bank.After announcing a series of dividends, profits and guarantees, the people saw a glimmer of hope, if this was replaced by the previous savior Yuan Shao, I am afraid that no one would be willing to take out their own savings.But Zhao Yu is different, Zhao Yu is a monarch who will think about the people, so when the people learned that it was Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhoumu who opened the money and silver bank, all the people took out their savings.Even if it is for the sake of the state pastor, it can be regarded as a better life for himself."
In this way, the remaining military expenses of the navy have been gathered, haha, it's really good."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smiled, since the military expenditure of the navy is enough, there is no need to sell war horses and other military materials to Jiangdong."
Report, lord."
Just as Zhao Yu was fantasizing, a sergeant suddenly came to report.Zhao Yu immediately said: "There is something but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”The sergeant hurriedly said, "The Jiangdong envoy came to ask for a meeting and is waiting in the mansion. ”"I didn't expect the people from Jiangdong to come quickly, it seems that they can't wait."
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he said to Zhen Mi beside him: "Zhen Mi, let's go back." ”Zhen Mi chimed in: "Well, don't let the guests in Jiangdong wait in a hurry." ”I don't want the corners of Zhao Yu's mouth to rise: "I'm afraid that this time it's not only Jiangdong's guests who are in a hurry, I'm afraid that the entire Jiangdong will be in a hurry." ”As soon as Zhao Yu and Zhen Mi returned to the mansion, they saw a person standing in the hall, and as soon as they saw Zhao Yu, they immediately stepped forward, and said apologetically with both hands: "In Xia Zhuge Jin, I specially came to meet the state pastor on the order of my lord." ”Zhao Yu hurriedly replied with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Zhuge Jin, please sit down quickly, come and serve tea." ”Because of the important matter to discuss, so after taking Zhao Yu to arrange, Zhen Mi said goodbye and left, and then Zhao Yu spoke: "I don't know what Mr. came here this time for" Zhuge Jin said calmly: "My lord, I came here this time on the order of my lord to discuss the trade between the two armies." ”How did Zhao Yu not accept Zhuge Jin's words at all, and said with a confused face: "Zhao Yu really doesn't know what Mr. said about trade, please make it clear." ”After hearing this, Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "My lord, before you and your party went to my Jiangdong, and said to my lord and the governor in front of all the civil and military officials that in the future, I will provide Jiangdong with 500 war horses and 50,000 arrow feathers every month, it's rare that the adults don't remember" After listening to Zhuge Jin's words, Zhao Yu suddenly realized, nodded with one hand and nodded uncontrollably: "Oh, what you said is right. ”Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to recall, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yu's next words surprised Zhuge Jin."
I really don't remember what you said, when did I promise to give you five hundred Jiangdong war horses and fifty thousand arrow feathers," Zhao Yu said and looked at Zhuge Jin who was stunned.Zhuge Jin couldn't help but hurriedly said: "My lord, King Zhao, the gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, everyone in Jiangdong heard it clearly that day, how can you forget it" Zhao Yu still said with a straight face: "Mr. remembered wrong, I never promised to provide you Jiangdong with 500 war horses and 50,000 arrow feathers every month" Zhuge Jin almost cried and said: "But, my lord, of course we listened to it really" "My lord is right, my lord did not promise to supply Jiangdong with 500 war horses per month that day, Fifty thousand arrows, because that's what I promised. ”Just as Zhuge Jin and Zhao Yu were arguing, a voice suddenly floated in from outside, and after someone entered the house, Zhuge Jin recognized the other party, not the ghost Guo Fengxiao who broke hundreds of thousands of enemies between talking and laughing.Zhuge Jin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Zhuge Jin has seen Mr.
Guo Jia. ”Guo Jia also responded politely, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly continued: "Lord Zhou Mu, Mr.
Guo Jia has also admitted that he did say this in my hall that day. ”However, this time, before Zhao Yu could speak, Guo Jia had already replied: "Guo Jia did say this that day, but it was Guo Jia who said it without arguing for it, and he did not seek the consent of my lord and asserted it in vain.After leaving Jiangdong, my father-in-law severely criticized me and deducted my money for several months to punish Jia's mistakes, so that incident was not approved by my father-in-law, and of course it could not be counted. ”Zhuge Jin still didn't seem to give up and said: "This is my lord has also promised to provide your army with the design drawings of the warship, do you want us to go back empty-handed and do this loss-making deal" Guo Jia smiled and said: "Of course my lord will not do such an unkind thing, the so-called trade is to sell before buying, since this transaction has been interrupted."
Then Mr.
Zhuge can return with Jiangdong's warship blueprints, so naturally he won't be considered empty-handed. ”Zhuge Jin made the last move, and said expressionlessly: "Does Lord Zhou Mu really want to refuse to form an alliance with my Jiangdong" "Haha" Facing Zhuge Jin's question, Zhao Yu actually laughed, "I respect the outstanding heroes of Jiangdong Sun's predecessors, and I appreciate Jiangdong's talents, as long as Jiangdong is really sincere in forming an alliance with me, I, Zhao Yu, will definitely stand with my hands raised."
It's just that Jiangdong wants to form an alliance with our army this time to do business, it is nothing more than to use our army's war horses and arrow feathers to attack Jingzhou, don't Sun Taishou and Zhou Dudu know that Jingzhou is my ally, this kind of right hand raising a knife and breaking off the left arm, Zhao Yu really can't do it, and it can't do it. ”The words suddenly made Zhuge Jin feel speechless, but he didn't expect that the bureau carefully arranged by Zhou Yu was seen through by the other party like this, it can't be said that the governor is not resourceful, nor can it be said that the governor's plan is not good, it can only be said that this Zhao Yu is too shrewd, this ghost Guo Jia is a step ahead, since the matter has been revealed, there is no need for Zhuge Jin to continue to stalemate, otherwise that will only wipe Jiangdong's face, I saw that Zhuge Jin suddenly seemed to be a stool, walked in front of Zhao Yu and Guo Jia, apologized with both hands, and paid attention to etiquette and said:" In that case, I'll take my leave, thank you for your hospitality today, and don't send it. ”After speaking, he bowed slightly to the two and withdrew.Seeing Zhuge Jin leaving, Guo Jia and Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at each other and smiled: "It seems that the lord has made up his mind." ”Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Jiangdong is not Jingzhou, Sun Quan is not Liu Cong, Zhou Yu is not Mrs.
Cai, I will not do this kind of self-cutting arm." ”As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yu turned to Guo Jia and asked: "Fengxiao, can I reply to the letter I asked you to write to Jingzhou" Guo Jia hurriedly replied: "Back to the lord, when I came back from Jiangdong, I had already asked someone to personally send a letter to Mrs.
Cai of Jingzhou, asking her to take all precautions, be careful of Jiangdong's attack, and inform us of our affairs in Jiangdong."
Yesterday's reply from Mrs.
Cai arrived, and she was very grateful to the lord, and sent several Jingzhou shipwrights, as well as several drawings of warships, and those shipwrights will arrive in Jizhou the day after tomorrow, and I have sent people to meet and protect them. ”The corners of Zhao Yu's mouth raised and said: "Well, it's very good, as long as Jingzhou is condensed into a ball and defends in advance, even if it has a large number of capable people in Jiangdong, it will not be able to break through Jingzhou's defense line, and Jingzhou's troops are not vegetarians." ”Guo Jia continued: "As long as Jingzhou drags down the Jiangdong forces, we can develop vigorously to compete with Cao Cao. ”Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Fengxiao, do you think how many troops and how much time will it take for us to defeat Cao Cao":
