Chapter 183 Guo Jia's Visit
"No matter what the reason, you can't get involved with those eunuchs. They are the source of cholera." Lu Zhi said directly.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "If Duke Lu had bribed the eunuch that day, he would not have been escorted back to Luoyang, and the final battle would not have been so miserable. At least Dong Zhuo had no chance. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in vain."
"How can this old man join forces with those eunuchs?" Lu Zhi said angrily.
Zhang Yu did not get angry, but said: "Bribing the eunuch will only tarnish your reputation, Lu Zhi, but it will save [-] Han soldiers."
Lu Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time.
"What kind of official is this big man official? If I hadn't bribed these people, how could His Majesty have agreed to build Chidao yesterday? Even if His Majesty agreed, a group of people would have come out to destroy it." Zhang Yu said bluntly.
The words have been spoken, and they are very straightforward.
Expose the ugliness of the big man.
A few people can't help feeling sad.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable. We people cherish our reputation too much." Huangfu Song sighed and ended the topic, and then said.
"Master Zhang, let's talk about the preparations for building Chidao."
Zhang Yu took a breath, let out his sullen breath, and said, "Building Chidao is not as difficult as you think, and the cost is not as high."
"First of all, these refugees can't even afford to eat. They don't need wages, just give them food. Second, these people not only need to build roads, but also need to plant some food on the spot next to them. As long as the initial investment is large, the later will actually It doesn't cost much."
"The problem we have to solve is to wait for Chidao to be repaired. How will these people be arranged?"
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, several people became deep in thought.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to build roads and grow food at the same time. If so, only a few slack periods can be used to build roads, and the investment will increase dramatically." Cai Yong said.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "I found a plant on the East China Sea that can be used as food. It is easy to grow and does not require much effort. It can be taken out for three or five days every month, and the output is at least the current food output. More than three times."
"What! There is such a thing?" Zhu Jun said in shock: "Why doesn't Mr. Zhang quickly present it to the court?"
The others were also shocked at how amazing it was to triple the output.
Zhang Yu was talking about sweet potatoes, of course.
"How many people believe in the promotion now? Will the common people accept it? Next year, when I plant it for a year, not only will there be enough seeds, but everyone will accept it."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, several people began to ponder again.
They suddenly discovered that Zhang Yu was considerate in every aspect.
And Zhang Yu doesn't look like a bad guy either.
On the contrary, he did better than them and cared about the people better than them.
They all had the illusion at the same time that Zhang Yu really cared about the people of Han Dynasty.
Several people adjusted their mentality and sincerely asked for advice on various issues.
A few people were chatting, and they all forgot the time. It was not until dark that someone came to remind them to eat.
Zhang Yu went back after eating in Cai's mansion.
"I wonder what you guys think?" Cai Yong asked after Zhang Yu left.
"Jiangdong!" Lu Zhi muttered: "I must go to Jiangdong this time to see if Zhang Yu's words and deeds are consistent."
In half a day, everyone's opinion of Zhang Yu changed a lot.
Zhang Yu returned to the courtyard, the place was no longer busy, but the Immortal Brew was also emptied.
"How's the situation?" Zhang Yu called the sergeant and asked.
"Lord, all the fairy brew has been sold."
"Haha, that's great, I didn't expect it to be so popular." Zhang Yu said happily.
"Let the soldiers prepare and go back in two days." Zhang Yu said again.
This time I came to Luoyang, I gained a lot. Immortal Brewing resounded throughout Luoyang overnight, and it won't take long for the whole man to know about it, and the money will be bountiful at that time.
What Zhang Yu has to do is to expand production, and then wait for the money to be collected.
Another big gain from coming to Luoyang is that Liu Hong ordered the construction of Chidao.
What are the benefits of building Chidao to Zhang Yu?
The first advantage is that Zhang Yu will repair all the roads around Jiangdong, which is convenient for Jiangdong to communicate with the outside world.
You know, if you want to get rich, build roads first.
If Zhang Yu wants to develop the entire Jiangdong region, he must make it easy to communicate with the Central Plains region.
The second is that Zhang Yu can openly recruit people.
The extra ones are their own, and they can be resettled to the Jiangdong area to increase the population.
And third, Zhang Yu will have a great channel to sell the products of his territory in the future when he does business, and he will not be jealous.
There are many other benefits, and it will also be beneficial to the military in the future, but it doesn't need to go so far now.
With the money, Zhang Yu asked soldiers to recruit craftsmen around Luoyang, and prepared to take them back.
"Report, my lord, someone is asking to see you outside the door." Zhang Yu was thinking about something in the room when another soldier came to report.
"Okay, let me go and have a look." There is nothing left and right, and there are really few people who come to visit Zhang Yu, so Zhang Yu is also curious, who is looking for him.
"My lord, this is the person who is looking for my lord."
After leaving the yard, Zhang Yu saw a thin scholar standing there.
The scholar's clothes were shabby, his beard was unshaven, his clothes were messy, and his hair was not combed well.
"Under Zhang Yu, sir, please come to my room." Zhang Yu said.
The scholar was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Yu to invite him in directly.
The scholar froze for a moment, and then went in with Zhang Yu.
"Sir, please sit down. I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to see Yu." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"I came here to beg for a drink. I smelled the aroma of wine on the road. After asking about it, I found out that this wine was sold by Mr. Zhang. I have no money to buy wine, so I came here to beg for it." The visitor said bluntly.
"Haha, since you think highly of me, Zhang Yu, why don't you have wine?"
After Zhang Yu laughed, he asked someone to bring him wine.
The wine was sold out, but Zhang Yu always kept some for himself. If nothing else, Dian Wei also had to drink wine.
"Come on, come on, let's sit down and drink together." Zhang Yu said to Dian Wei who had just arrived.
"Okay, I like drinking the most." Dian Wei was not polite, and started pouring wine from the bowl as soon as he sat down.
"Come, let's have a drink as we are destined to meet each other." Zhang Yu picked up the wine and said.
"Ah, good wine, good wine. The rumors are indeed true, and Xi Zhicai didn't lie to me either."
The scholar took a sip of wine and said happily.
"Sir, do you know Xi Zhicai?" Zhang Yu looked at the scholar, he was only in his 20s, his tone was not young, but his clothes were shabby, and he didn't look like a child of an aristocratic family.
"Here, Guo Jia, named Fengxiao, is Xi Zhicai's good friend. Zhicai invited him to Jiangdong several times, but his family couldn't leave because of something at home. Today, he knew that he was in Luoyang, so he came to ask for a drink." Guo Guo said.
Zhang Yu was very surprised that the opponent turned out to be Guo Jia.
Fans of the Three Kingdoms know that Guo Jia is extremely talented.
