Chapter 96
"I asked Wanshiwu for a little bit about the news about the Qiao family in Wan County..." Zhu Xin did not deny it, "Although there are no clan members who have become officials, the family is quite rich."
It should be said that it is a relatively famous chef family. Some of his ancestors once served as imperial chefs. Later, they opened a restaurant and were quite famous in Lujiang. The family itself has a lot of fields, and almost all the ingredients are cultivated and raised by their own home.
If you can attract investment, you can not only quickly expand the scale. At the same time, you can also buy better quality materials at affordable prices. Zhu Xin has no reason not to pull Da Qiao into the water.
"Jing..." Sun Ce pouted, "I should tell me this kind of thing in advance!"
Seeing Zhu Xin and Da Qiao so close, Sun Ce thought this guy was in love with someone else, and he had been worried about it for so long.
"Not to mention whether the Qiao family can successfully convince the Qiao family to invest, just say that there are risks in expanding the business itself." Zhu Xin smiled, "I didn't intend to make you too worried before I achieved actual results."
It's useless to worry. Sun Ce is just a business idiot, and in the end he's just worrying. If it weren't for this accident, he wouldn't have planned to tell her so soon.
"It's still not possible!" Sun Ce looked at Zhu Xin with dissatisfaction, "You must tell me this kind of thing as soon as possible. Even if I can't help anything,... at least I won't drag you down or something..."
I almost didn't let Erqiao join my rank before because I was jealous, and I might be dragging my back on investment.
"Haha, okay, okay, I will tell you everything next time." Zhu Xin touched Sun Ce's head and smiled.
The matter came to an end, and at least it calmed Sun Ce's emotions. The two returned to the military camp sweetly, and everyone they saw was wondering what was going on between them.
"Bo Fu, what does General Zuo say?" Lu Fan stepped forward, no matter what happened, he still had to ask about the main matter.
"Ah, I've completely forgotten!" Sun Ce immediately reacted, "General Zuo said that he was willing to express his willingness to be the captain of the Zhechong and to destroy the general! Huang Gai and Cheng Pu's troops will be transferred to my command and listen to it!"
"That's great, now only Yi Gong and Da Rong are left!" Huang Gai said excitedly.
Originally, there was also a younger sister Sun Jing in Sun Jian's old subordinate. However, she was not in the army, and in Fuchun's hometown, she brought five hundred Dingbings as the Sun family's guard, and was also the last bargaining chip for the Sun family.
Since she was not in the army, Huang Gai certainly did not mention her.
"If you want to continue to make contributions, then the only goals will be Wu County and Kuaiji County..." Zhou Yu thought to himself. She also did her homework and knew what Sun Ce had done after he joined Yuan Shu's command.
It is true that the successful contact with Ma Richang is the key, and the military achievements in the fight against Chen Wen and Lu Kang are real. What is dissatisfied is that Zhu Xin's contribution is behind these three things.
Zhou Yu hates Zhu Xin very much, at least he doesn't like this guy in his personal relationships. But she admires Zhu Xin's ability very much. Having such a colleague can reduce a lot of trouble and help Sun Ce rise faster.
Originally, this should be her responsibility. And I also thought about improving her position in her heart by quickly helping Sun Ce rise.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xin had such a plan, and Zhou Yu was a little regretful and did not join Sun Ce's command as soon as possible.
"The problem may not be Bo Fu's turn..." Zhu Xin reminded, "Yuan Shu has not only Sun Ce, but also several generals, although they are all inexperienced people."
"Indeed, Yuan Shu can't let Bo Fu make all the credits. What should others do if they do?" Huang Gai also agreed with this statement. "In addition, Yuan Shu doesn't have much money or food in his hands. At least he will have to wait until the autumn harvest next year before he can go to war on a large scale."
"After this autumn harvest, there will be money and grain in the warehouse. I have a way to let Yuan Shu approve us to attack Danyang, but to do this, Bo Fu must take out something for her." Zhu Xin said slowly.
Yuan Shu ascended the throne in 197 AD, and now it is 194, and there are still three years left.
In history, Sun Ce only captured Kuaiji in 196 AD. Before he had completely settled down, Yuan Shu ascended the throne, and then the two sides broke up. Sun Ce did sweep all the way and wiped out Wu County, Danyang County and Yuzhang County, but the money and food must be tight.
Zhu Xin was considering that if he could conquer Kuaiji County in 195 and serve as the prefect of Kuaiji, or even the prefect of Wu County, it would be better to be the prefect of Danyang. In this case, with two years of development, Sun Ce's subsequent expedition meetings would be much easier.
There is also concern that if Yuan Shu really sent someone to attack Liu Yao before he could stand firm and then attack him directly. If he accidentally killed Liu Yao and swept across the road, wouldn’t Sun Ce lose the opportunity to rise?
History is history, reality is reality. Sun Ce is already stronger than history, and similarly, many historical events have also changed. For example, Zhou Yu originally defected in 197, but now he has already joined Sun Ce's command early.
Zulang, who had to ambush Sun Ce in 197, was captured by Sun Ce early in 193 and also sponsored Sun Ce a lot of money, grain, and troops.
In contrast, Yuan Shu accidentally fought over in advance, destroyed Liu Yao, and then dominated Yangzhou. Then Sun Ce did not need to attack him again. Naturally, Sun Ce could not become the prefect of Kuaiji...
"What?" Sun Ce was a little confused, but looking at Zhu Xin's cautious look, he knew that this thing was definitely not simple.
"That's..." Zhu Xin came to her ear and whispered.
"How do you know?" Sun Ce suddenly looked at Zhu Xin in disbelief like a furry cat.
"I naturally have my own information channel." Zhu Xin replied calmly. To be honest, he couldn't explain clearly. When Sun Jian got the thing, he was still running away from home and had no contact with his family. Of course, it was impossible to know.
However, according to Sun Ce's expression, it seems that Sun Jian had obtained the imperial seal.
"That thing is meaningless to keep in your hands, it's better to change it." Zhu Xin reminded.
After all, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still alive, and that thing is useless. Unless Liu Xie dies and the Han Dynasty has no suitable heirs, then no matter how Sun Ce is, Yuan Shu will have no resistance to becoming her Zhong Emperor.
At least, others have no excuses to join forces to attack her. Maybe they even condemn her on the surface, but they are actually waiting and watching. After all, at that point, who doesn’t want to be emperor? Yuan Shu takes the lead in becoming emperor, and he can test the reactions of the people in the world!
If the people do not object very strongly, then you might as well be called emperor by yourself!
"What?" Zhou Yu and Lu Fan were very curious. After all, they didn't know. Zulang, Chen Duan, Qin Song and others were just eating melons and generally didn't care too much.
"How about this, let's talk about it in detail in the tent?" Huang Gai and Cheng Pu knew about it, so they were more cautious.
