Zhao Yu learned from Zhuge Jin that when Sun Quan co-led Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Huang Gai and Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao to go together this time, Zhao Yu also made a candidate in his heart to go to talk with Sun Quan this time.I only heard Zhao Yu speak: "Guo Jia, Gan Ning, Pang De, Wenxing and Zhen Mi accompanied me to Xuzhou Jianghe to meet Sun Quan this time, and I am also bringing a few special chefs that I have cultivated with great difficulty, and bring the special dishes of our tavern to go together, so that Jiangdong can see our Jizhou cuisine." ”Subsequently, a ship consisting of Zhao Yu, Zhen Mi, Guo Jia, Gan Ning, Pang De, and Wenxing sailed straight to Xuzhou.The boat on this trip is the building ship in the Ganning Water Barracks, except for a dry sailor, there is only the special chef Zhao Yu said.Zhao Yu didn't have to worry about the guards mentioned by Dian Man, this time he made an appointment with the other party about the alliance, if he carried too many people, it would make the other party feel that he was vigilant, and it was easy for the other party to feel afraid.What's more, this time the meeting place is near the sea area of Xuzhou, which is its own territory.As long as Sun Quan has any trouble, the army of Xuzhou will come directly, so it is really redundant to lead the troops and horses from Jizhou.When Zhao Yu's ship arrived in Xuzhou, the Xuzhou Donghai Taishou potters and the newly appointed Guangling Taishou Mengying and his wife went to the dockyard to greet them."
Chen Donghai is too shou pottery merchant, Guangling is too shou Mengying to welcome King Zhao."
As soon as Zhao Yu's boat stopped on the shore, the potter and Mengying stepped forward to worship.As soon as Zhao Yu got off the boat, he said to the two of them: "Originally, I didn't want to disturb the two of you, but this time it was me and Jiangdong Sun Quan discussing matters in the waters here, and even affecting the disputes in the world, so I specially came here to inform the two of you, and you must strictly prevent all suspicious ships from approaching the nearby waters." ”The potter immediately bowed his hand and said, "Please rest assured that I will send someone to strictly inspect this area, and will not let any suspicious ships approach." ”Suddenly, Zhao Yu glanced at the potter and said, "I heard Xun Yu's report that since the East China Sea area has been under your jurisdiction, the people's agriculture and fishing have developed rapidly, and their income has increased quarter by quarter, I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability."
Moreover, the merchants in Xuzhou City have also increased their incomes, and the taxes paid every quarter are two layers more than before, so you have contributed a lot. ”The pottery merchant said somewhat apologetically at Zhao Yu: "Back to King Zhao, I'm ashamed to say this."
All of this is thanks to my wife's talent, in order to have such a good improvement, the pottery merchant used to be just a business, good at the rational operation of the city materials, in advance of the harvest of the people in the market to place the order, as soon as the end of the harvest will be traded, to ensure that the materials are fresh, but also can be sold at a good price.Zhao Wang said before, taken from the people for the people, I am using my position to make benefits for the people, after the people are rich, the local income is also quite large, the taxes paid are high, and the strength has increased. ”Zhao Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to be able to use my words so vividly, it's really rare."
You are right, what is taken from the people and what is given to the people, when the people are rich, the country will become strong, and when the people are rich, they will naturally pay taxes willingly, and the treasury will be abundant, which can be used to continue to benefit the people and protect the people. ”"But you just said that most of the others are the credit of Miss Mengying, I really didn't expect Miss Mengying to have such a brain, with you and your wife joining forces to help me, why worry that the people of Xuzhou are unstable, why worry that Xuzhou is not rich, why worry that Xuzhou is not strong."
Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh after speaking.Immediately, I only heard Mengying speak: "Mengying and Fujun can have today, everything is due to King Zhao, so what the two of us did is just to repay King Zhao's kindness."
And we are also people of Xuzhou now, and we should create some favors for the people of Xuzhou. ”"Well, I'm glad you guys think that."
After speaking, Zhao Yu looked at the two of them again, and then said: "Pottery merchant, from today onwards I will seal you as the Xuzhou Thorn History, I hope you can use your skills to strengthen Xuzhou, I hope to be able to see your father's shadow in you, you must know that your father was the japonica rice harvest of Xuzhou, where the world was famine and the people were hungry." ”As soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, the pottery merchant's eyes were red, and he immediately bowed down to Zhao Yu with a puff: "The pottery merchant thanks King Zhao for his trust, and the pottery merchant promised King Zhao that he would definitely use his own hands to develop Xuzhou." ”Seeing the potter like this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but step forward to help him up, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, I'm very optimistic about you." ”Suddenly, the potter seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yu: "By the way, King Zhao, a few days ago the potter met an old friend, this person is young but talented, and quite brainy, when my father governed Xuzhou, he made a lot of benefits in Tuntian's strategy. ”"Oh, what kind of person is really talented, you might as well recruit it and use it for me."
After hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but say, if today's disputes, he sits on the land of Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou.Although the soldiers and horses are strong, there is an extreme lack of talents, so when he heard that there were capable people, Zhao Yu dug them up at all costs.I only heard the pottery merchant say: "This person's surname is Chen Mingdeng, the word Yuanlong, after Lu Bu's defeat in Xuzhou, his father died of illness, and this person has been filial piety to his father for many years and has never enlisted."
It wasn't until this time when the lord entered the throne of King Zhao that he made a new debut, and just came to me a few days ago, and temporarily sought a position under my command, responsible for Xuzhou's fertile land and water conservancy.Since Chen Deng came to Zhou, he has personally inspected the soil conditions of Xuzhou, intending to develop water conservancy and farmland irrigation, but some things have not yet been reported, so they have been put aside for the time being, and the potter is willing to guarantee that this person is a talented person. ”Zhao Yu immediately said: "Chen Deng, I have heard of this person.Since this person has such a great talent in tuntian, water conservancy, and farming, then we must be important, so we will appoint him as the general of the farmer, responsible for all farmland production, water conservancy and irrigation in Xuzhou.If you have any ideas about construction, you can directly report it to Yutaka Shikuda, and if it has been approved, you can immediately start construction. ”The potter hurriedly replied: "The potter replaces Chen Deng, thank you King Zhao." ”Just as the potter finished speaking, suddenly a sentinel yacht sailed up, and a sergeant on the boat stepped on the bow of the ship without waiting for the ship to dock, and bowed to Zhao Yu and others on the shore: "Report, a small building boat was found in the waters ahead, which was heading towards the waters of Xuzhou, and there was no flag on the ship. ”After hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately said to the potter: "Well, it must be Jiangdong Sun Quan's boat coming, seeing that Sun Quan really only came a few people according to the agreement, let them enter the waters of Xuzhou, and we should also set off." ”"Yes, King Zhao."
After the potter finished speaking, he said to the sentry who had come to report the news: "Let their ships in, and then send a few more yachts to strictly inspect the waters around the vicinity, and remember not to let any suspicious ships enter."
If there is a trespasser, sink it directly. ”"Yes, sir."
After speaking, the yacht in charge of the outpost quickly left, and Zhao Yu and the others also boarded the building boat and sailed towards the agreed sea area.A moment later, two different ships appeared on the sea level, but the two ships were obviously different, one of them seemed to be smaller, and the deck of the ship was only two stories high, which was the ship that Sun Quan of Jiangdong was on.The other building ship is at least about three stories high, not only the ship is tall and long, but also beautifully carved around, a long wood carving dragon is hovering around the boat, which looks quite majestic, this is the hand-painted Yinglong naval army command warship designed by Zhao Yu for Gan Ning's naval camp.Only this one, other similar warships are similar to this ship, but they are not so luxurious, after all, this kind of hand-carving is by no means a day or two of effort, it requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources, Zhao Yu does not dare to be too extravagant even if he dominates the counties of the five states, and it is more effective to use those one-sided flashiness than in practice.When the two building ships gradually approached, the men and horses on both sides showed their heads one after another, respectively led by Zhao Yu and Sun Quan.Zhao Jun and Jiangdong Jun, the two teams have experienced knee-to-knee conversations and hunting and killing, and I don't know what kind of ending this time will be."
Jiangdong Sun Quan's co-ordinators have seen King Zhao."
Whether it is status or military strength, Sun Quan has always been slightly inferior, but Sun Quan didn't care about this, and took the lead to lead Zhou Yu and others behind him, standing on the bow of the boat and bowing to Zhao Yu on the opposite boat."
Hahaha Sun Taishou, I finally looked forward to you, today I can enjoy tea and enjoy music with Sun Taishou again, it makes people feel comfortable when I think about it."
Zhao Yu replied, and said to the sailors on the deck: "Anchor, set up a frame, and welcome Sun Taishou on board." ”After the order sounded, a group of sailors dropped the anchor and put two rather spacious planks on the tower of Sun Quan's ship, and the sailors on Sun Quan's ship hurriedly set up their hands to stabilize the planks.Immediately, Zhou Tai was about to take the lead in stopping in front of Sun Quan to board the ship, but was quickly grabbed by Sun Quan, and then gently tugged on his sleeve to give a warning, and then pretended to be on the board of the ship with Zhou Tai's support and walked to the opposite shipyard.Zhou Yu and his wife followed closely behind, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and Ling Tong walked behind, and two maids followed with different tea sets and fragrant tea.As soon as Sun Quan and the others fell into the boat, Zhao Yu led everyone to step forward immediately, and without waiting for Sun Quan to bow his hand, Zhao Yu directly grabbed Sun Quan, hugged him into his arms, and gave him a big hug, and laughed loudly: "Sun Taishou, I haven't seen you for many days, so I Zhao Yu misses it very much, this time you and I put aside all distractions and get together again, it's really rare." ”:
