Chapter 69
"I am willing to go!" Lu Su and Zhang Zhao clasped their fists together.
Yes, both of them want to go to Xuzhou to have a look.
Judging from current experience, it is not dangerous to go to Xuzhou at all, but rather a good thing.
In this way, many people want to go to Xuzhou for a walk.
"Haha!" Sun Quan couldn't help but chuckled: "It seems that the husband and others are very yearning for Xuzhou!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel embarrassed and felt a little embarrassed.
Sun Quan did not tease the ministers too much, and then said seriously: "Zibu, you are from Pengcheng, Xuzhou. I think you will be on the mission!"
"No!" Zhang Zhao immediately clasped his fists and felt happy.
Yes, Zhang Zhao also has the idea of returning to Pengcheng to worship his ancestors.
But now the princes are in turmoil and in troubled times, there is no free land to go to.
Taking advantage of this mission, I was able to get what I wanted.
Lu Bu also quickly returned to Xia Pi to learn about the wars between all parties.
When Lu Bu learned that all sides had retreated, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuzhou has suffered a lot in the past two months.
Many projects were shut down, and some were even damaged by coalition forces.
Such economic losses are completely beyond the assessment of other magistrates.
More importantly, this greatly delayed the speed of Lu Bu's development, which means that Lu Bu's future expedition will be postponed.
Sometimes Lu Bu really wanted to calm the internal situation first and then go against the outside world.
But Lu Bu knew that if the result of this battle continued, there would be fewer and fewer Han people, and how would they compete for the world in the future?
Moreover, the Three Kingdoms have been fighting for a hundred years in history, and even if they want to pacify the internal situation, it will not be a matter of a day or a night.
In fact, Lu Bu is also familiar with history and has a considerable understanding of all dynasties and dynasties.
Whether it was the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, the Han people had the most glorious period.
With the national strength and military strength at that time, they were completely enough to support their territory expansion.
However, the rulers of each era thought that the surrounding area was a bitter and cold place and was not worthy of conquest. They only wanted to live in the wealthy land of the Central Plains, and even the south was not even peaceful.
Because there are many mountains in the south, it is difficult to conquer.
There is no way, because of the control of his vision, Lu Bu can't say anything.
The result is that every dynasty and every generation will be invaded by foreign races, causing the lives of the Han people to suffer.
Especially the Song Dynasty, it was the most humiliating.
You know, artillery existed during the Song Dynasty.
However, the Song Dynasty did not vigorously develop firearms at all. In the end, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
Especially after the Jingkang shame, Han women were insulted. Cowardly men could not protect women, but in the end they could only pass on this hatred to the insulted women.
Since then, the status of ancient women has fallen to the most humblest.
In Chinese history, the largest period of territory was the Yuan Dynasty.
However, the territory captured by the Yuan Dynasty was captured by the Mongols, not the Han people.
After the Han people overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, those territories also split at the same time.
I didn’t mean to say this, but Lu Bu just didn’t want to repeat these mistakes.
He wanted to build a great territory for the Han people in this era.
To achieve this goal, he spared no expense.
All right and wrong, merit and demerit are judged by later generations.
In order to achieve this wish, Lu Bu would rather give up internal struggles.
Although it is inconsistent with the need to settle the country first when fighting against foreign countries, Lu Bu had to do it.
Because Lu Bu is already middle-aged, he doesn't know when God will take his life away.
Maybe twenty years, maybe thirty years.
And Lu Bu’s plan was to create a big empire within thirty years.
In later generations, China spent thirty years catching up with the Western powers for a hundred years.
In this world, it takes 30 years to catch up with the world's technological civilization for two thousand years.
Lu Bu held a court meeting soon and naturally wanted to understand the current situation to the greatest extent.
Chen Gong said: "Your lord, with Yuan Shu's death, Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County all issued an edict. Seeing that the situation was over, Yuan Tan had retreated to Jizhou, Hebei. At this point, Qingzhou was also under the rule of the lord. However, Yuan Tan moved many people away. Although he took Qingzhou, the population was not abundant."
"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded: "We must stabilize Qingzhou as soon as possible and do a good job in the census."
"No!" Chen Gong continued: "In addition, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Biao all sent envoys to discuss peace, and asked the lord to summon him."
"Well, please go to the palace!"
Soon, Sun Quan's envoy Zhang Zhao came to the palace.
Then, he naturally stated a number of controversies and demands.
And when I heard that there was no rubber tree, Lu Bu was all depressed.
Only then did Lu Bu remember that rubber trees were found in many areas in the south in later generations, but that was introduced from South America in modern times.
In this way, how could Lu Bu not vomit blood when he was so angry?
You know, the reason why World War II broke out was the big reason for the competition for rubber resources.
After being speechless, Lu Bu had to press his temperament and think about national policies.
After pondering for a while, Lu Bu said in a true voice: "It is impossible to negotiate peace, but Jiangdong must agree to several conditions for me!"
"Wen Hou, let's talk!" Zhang Zhao replied.
"1. Jiangdong must export more than one million stones of rice to me every year."
"One million stones!" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be surprised. You know, this is a huge sum of money. Food is a strategic resource, so Zhang Zhao dared not respond casually.
One stone of rice in the Han Dynasty was about 31 kilograms in later generations. One million stones was 30,000 tons.
This amount of food is equivalent to the annual ration for a population of 200,000.
Seeing Zhang Zhao hesitating, Lu Bu said in a stern voice: "I am buying, not robbing. You have many paddy fields in Jiangdong, so this little food is not difficult for you."
After saying this, Zhang Zhao even gave up his concerns. It was not about giving away, but selling, and he could also get money. This little grain is indeed not a problem for Jiangdong now.
"Okay, this post has been confirmed. Please continue to say it in Wen."
"2. The export of coarse salt must be one million stones every year and 50,000 stones of fried tea."
What!
Zhang Zhao was shocked again: "Warm weather, food is millions of stones. Zhao can understand why there is so much salt and tea. Even if people all over the world eat it, they can't use so much salt and tea!"
Lu Bu chuckled, "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to put it in. Similarly, I bought it, not grabbed it. With such a large order, the transaction volume is enough for the people of Jiangdong to survive. You only need to build a few more salt fields when you wait for coarse salt. As for tea, you have to spend more time. I won't make any money on your tea processing fee. In two days, I will write a complete tea stir-frying process for you."
Yes, the best fried tea is all artificial fried tea. So Lu Bu doesn't want to earn this processing fee.
Moreover, fresh tea cannot be transported for long distances, so it can only be fried on site. Lu Bu can only hand it over to Jiangdong to complete the tea industry.
This time, Zhang Zhao was excited.
If Lu Bu really had so many demands, these transactions alone would be enough to make countless money for Jiangdong!
"Okay, Zhao has responded to this matter. I don't know if Wen Hou has any requirements!" Zhang Zhao responded immediately.
There is not enough tea, so people are asking people to plant tea trees. These are all small things.
"Three, I want you to cooperate with me to start a school. I will pay for books and you will work hard. After the school is completed, you will also send teachers to teach yourself. As long as you learn the books provided by me, you will not care about the rest of me."
What!
Once again, Zhang Zhao was so shocked that his whole body shivered.
Big deal, and peerless big deal.
Chapter completed!
