Faced with Zhao Yu's question, Guo Jia first thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "If you want to defeat Cao Cao, you need to invest all the troops in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou.But at this time, we can't defeat Cao Cao head-on, we can only cause the result of losing both, and if we want to completely defeat Cao Cao, we need to cultivate and recuperate for at least ten years, otherwise we can't win. ”"Ten years, I didn't expect Cao Cao to be so difficult to deal with, originally I didn't want to fight with him.But someone once told me that in this troubled world, even if I don't harass others, others will come to invade me, and it is better to take the initiative than to be passive, and I have to fight for the sake of these people around me. ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia in a daze and said: "Before fighting with Cao Cao, should we first clear up other obstacles" Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "What the lord said is Yangzhou" "Exactly, I think that although the Jiangdong people are not enough to compete with me at the moment, they are also a tiger wolf if their term of office develops, so it is better to calm it before its wings are full, so as to eliminate future troubles." ”After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia expectantly, waiting for the other party's thoughts.Guo Jia explained: "Although the lord's idea is good, it is difficult to succeed in the current situation, although Jiangdong is not enough to fight against me, but occupying the Yangtze River is not a natural danger that can be overcome in a short time."
And Cao Cao will not give us the opportunity to contact these troubles, Jia dare to guarantee that as long as the lord sends troops to Jiangdong, Cao Cao will definitely divide his troops into multiple routes, all the way to strangle Jingzhou, all the way to force Yangzhou and Jiangdong to attack our army, and the other army will directly attack the hinterland of Jizhou. ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but be curious: "It's like Cao Cao plotting against Xiliang, and we secretly take Xuzhou" Guo Jia emphasized: "I'm afraid that Cao Cao's ambition must be more than that, once he gains power, he will directly wave the army and pounce, uprooting our army in one fell swoop, leaving no trouble." ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Hey, I'm still a little worse than Cao Cao." ”Guo Jia said with a smile: "Compared with Cao Cao, the lord and Cao Cao have their own merits, the victory of the lord and Cao Cao is better than the people's wishes, and the defeat of the lord and Cao Cao is the defeat of a little less ruthlessness." ”Suddenly, Zhao Yu looked at Guo Jiayan very seriously and said: "Fengxiao, I want to cultivate and recuperate, prepare for war with all my might, and when the time is ripe, I will fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao." ”"Jiading should fully assist the lord."
Five years later, Jizhou Bohai, Qingzhou Penglai two naval bases were completely completed, it took five years, spent a huge amount of money, two water bunkers rose, under Zhao Yu's architectural planning, there were two bunker-like cities on the water.At the time of construction, all workers were closed laborers, and only during certain hours could they take leave to go home to visit their families, and the rest of the time they had to be in the base and not leave without permission to prevent accidents.In fact, the most important thing is to avoid enemy spies or spies from getting involved, and the internal structure of the bunkers of these two naval bases is all completed by the soldiers in the army, and the structure is extremely secretive, and everyone in charge of the construction can only know a small part.The entire naval base is like a reverse "concave" character, all warships and ships are docked in the middle of the "concave" character building, and large, medium and small ships are docked in the left, center, and right positions respectively.The building surrounding the warship is a city wall ten meters high and five meters wide, with wolf smoke and arrow towers built on it, such a large and stable naval base cannot be easily broken even in the face of a million navy.When the construction of the naval base was completed, Zhao Yu actually held an unveiling ceremony for the signboard of the naval base, inviting not only all the naval army soldiers, but also other soldiers, officials, wealthy people, and even ordinary people in various cities.At first, many officials were puzzled, and they went to the table one after another, and Zhao Yu also responded in a timely manner, the construction of the naval army is to expand military capabilities, and the public unveiling is to announce to the world the capabilities of our army.The purpose of inviting officials, tycoons, and ordinary people to participate is to let the officials and ordinary people know the strength of our army, so that when war and chaos develop, the common people can unite as one to fight the enemy together.As for why he invited those rich landlords to participate, Zhao Yu had a purpose, and the construction of the navy army made the treasury empty a lot, although there were foreign deposits in the bank, but also owed a lot of debts to the people.So Zhao Yu set up two merit monuments at the two naval bases, and anyone who has donated more than 100 taels for the military investment of the naval army can remember the merit monuments.Of course, the larger the amount, the higher the ranking, and among the people, if someone is willing to donate, the amount is not limited, of course, the name is not enough to record the merit tablet, but it can be recorded in the merit book.Whether it is a record of merit monuments or merit books, there is actually no substantial benefit, but for those rich landowners, it is a status symbol.In the turbulent times of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of doctors, gentlemen and businessmen was very low, even if you have money, you can only have some status among the common people, but it is the most statusless status at the top.Under the rule of Zhao Yu, after the establishment of colleges and hospitals, and the implementation of preferential treatment for soldiers and military families, the status of doctors and teachers was greatly improved, and they had already surpassed the status of merchants.Some doctors and gentlemen who have made great contributions have also been rewarded by Zhao Yu with official positions, such as hospital president, vice president, physician director, attending physician, college dean, vice president, teaching director, etc., which makes those rich businessmen envious.This time, Zhao Yu set up this merit monument as an opportunity for these businessmen and tycoons to enhance their status, so all the merchants and merchants in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou contributed and sponsored, the purpose was to add their names to the merit monument.As little as 100 taels, as much as 500 taels, 800 taels, or even 1,000 taels, especially those rich and oily people, in order to occupy the first place, there is even more competition for 10,000 taels.And just when several wealthy people were spitting at the mouth, a woman walked to the merit monument with the support of several wives and children, and some of the sharp-eyed sergeants who maintained order had already recognized each other and stepped forward to salute.I saw that the woman waved her hand, and after rejecting the etiquette of everyone, she walked in front of Xun Yu, the official in charge of presiding over the record, in front of the surrounding people and wealthy people, and said: "The state pastor is the first master of the state since the ages, and when the adults come to the state city, we think about how to collect wealth and save our lives every day, even if we have a lot of money, it is just to survive in the troubled times.Since the lord led the state pastor to reorganize the state city, the people have lived a life of peace and contentment, and for the first time feel that money is something outside their bodies.So that the old body understands a truth, the country is strong and the people are strong, even if the family property is Wanguan, if it is not for the protection of adults, Cao's army invades the state city, Wanguan's family wealth also falls into the hands of others, and his life will also be in the hands of others. ”After speaking, the old woman looked left and right at the daughters-in-law around her, and saw that everyone was approving, so she took a brocade box from the arms of a son beside her, opened it in front of everyone, and said: "The old woman donated five million taels of silver to help the adults build an army to protect the people of our city." ”As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, five million taels is for some people, let alone a lifetime, even eight lifetimes can not earn so much money.In the eyes of some rich people, five million taels is equivalent to most of their family property or even all of their family property, when everyone was surprised, they saw Zhao Yu of Yizhou Shepherd stepped forward accompanied by all the military generals, and bowed to the old woman and said: "Zhao Yu on behalf of the soldiers of the three armies, thank you Mrs.
Zhen, thank you to your mother-in-law, Zhao Yu guarantees with his life and personality, as long as I Zhao Yu is here for a day, I will never let any enemy step into my state city and bully the people of our state city." ”And the cultural relics generals who followed Zhao Yu also bowed down to the old lady Zhen in unison.This person is not an outsider, it is Zhao Yu's mother-in-law, that is, Zhen Mi's mother, when Zhao Yu built a navy before, Zhen Mi and her mother took out a large amount of family property to support her husband to build a navy, but was stopped by Zhao Yu, saying that it would be used after the construction of the navy base was completed.At that time, everyone didn't understand, but after five times, everyone also agreed to Zhao Yu's request, and as a result, after the construction of the naval army base was completed, Zhao Yu held such an unveiling ceremony of the naval army signboard, and the inscription of a merit monument attracted the enthusiastic investment of the people throughout the process.In the face of the puzzlement of some generals, Zhao Yu gave this explanation: Before we built the water army, everyone did not know its importance and its strength, and at this time, if we want to raise funds, it may be difficult to drive everyone's enthusiasm.When the construction of the naval base is completed, everyone is invited to participate, so that everyone can see the strength of our naval army and the majestic posture of our army, those people will be rendered by this, and their merits will be recorded with the inscription of the merit tablet, and the effect is a hundred times.Sure enough, after Zhao Yu arranged Zhen's mother's donation activities, the audience once again broke out with unprecedented passion, and those rich people were even more scrambling to rank the donations, and they collected countless amounts of money and silver in one day.paid off all the previous loans drawn from the bank, and also set aside 10 million taels of silver, all of which were invested by Zhao Yu in other businesses to make money with money.Under the teaching of Zhao Yu's mother's skills, a group of female chefs quietly rose, and the whole decoration of the super luxurious seven-star hotel can be described as magnificent.Although Zhao Yu has always advocated that there is no distinction between high and low in the state and city under his jurisdiction, and everyone is equal, but in the design of this hotel, it is still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the so-called nine is naturally enjoyed by the rich.A luxurious big box, which has rockeries, fountains, and beautiful women playing the piano and dancing music, everyone can come, as long as you pay for it, a box fee will be ten taels.Those beauties all need money, those who play the piano need money, and those who dance and play music also need money, and everyone's price is different, just like the top brand and Oiran of the Qinglou, it is expensive to be beautiful, sing well, and dance well
