I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 67 Returning to Jiangxia (seeking a monthly ticket)

Above the Han River.

The three flagships sailed in the direction of Xiling County with brocade sails.

At this time, they have already left Jiangdong territory and entered Jiangxia territory.

Even Sun Quan dared not pursue Su Ming any more after eating the bear's heart and leopard's courage.

It will take several days for the boat to sail on the Han River before reaching Xiling County.

Su Ming, Tai Shici and the others fought for several hours, and they were already exhausted.

It was already night, and they were resting in the cabin.

Su Ming lay on the bed, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have completed the task, go to the meeting alone, and go to Jiangdong alone. 】

[Task reward: [-] steelmaking methods. 】

As the system notification sounded, Su Ming had booklets in his hand.

Su Ming opened the pamphlet and saw that there are really densely recorded hundreds of steelmaking methods.

Moreover, the system is quite considerate. The steelmaking method is still written in official script, the main font of the Three Kingdoms period.

Due to inheriting the memory of the original owner, Su Ming can still read and understand the official script.

However, Su Ming really couldn't understand the steelmaking method written in official script.

This is a craftsman's skill, and the lines are separated like mountains, so Su Ming can't understand it at all.

"If you want to refine the steel and the shipbuilding technology obtained from Qi Jiguang's martial soul, I'm afraid you have to find a suitable master craftsman!" Su Ming murmured.

A master craftsman during the Three Kingdoms period, Su Ming, as a person familiar with the Three Kingdoms, began to search for relevant memories in his own memory.

After searching for a long time, Su Ming found two people, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan.

Both of these two were well-known craftsmen during the Three Kingdoms period. Both Ma worked for the Kingdom of Wei, and Pu Yuan worked for the Kingdom of Shu.

wait, no!
Since the specific ages of these two people are not recorded in history, it is only recorded that Ma Jun once served as the minister of Wei State during Cao Pi's period,

And Pu Yuan was Xi Caoci, who served as the prime minister in the Kingdom of Shu.

What does the official positions held by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan explain?
It shows that the period when they appeared should be the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms.

You know, it was 220 years since the founding of the state of Wei, and 221 years since the founding of the state of Shu.

And now, it's 200.

In other words, there are still 20 years before Wei and Shu are established.

If calculated according to this time, then Ma Jun and Pu Yuan are still two children.

Ma Jun, Pu Yuan must be hopeless, it's impossible, what kind of craftsman training plan is he playing?

For a while, Su Ming couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

So, I simply didn't think about it, and after I went back, I left this matter to the military adviser Xu Shu.

What do you want a military division to do? It is to solve difficult and miscellaneous diseases for yourself.

Thinking of this, Su Ming didn't think about it at all. He was going to leave this matter to Xu Shu after he went back.

Jiangxia.

Xiling County.

After several days of sailing, Su Ming and the others finally arrived at Xiling Ferry.

Seeing the three Jiangdong flagships sailing into Xiling Ferry, Su Fei, Qin Qi and other generals were extremely surprised.

They thought to themselves, the lord is really powerful!

I went to Jiangdong, why did I get back three Jiangdong flagships!

Su Ming and the others got off the boat and came to Xiling Ferry.

Only then did I realize that Xiling Ferry was simply too lively today.

Especially outside the Xiling Ferry, it can be described as a sea of ​​people, with flags waving, and the common people gathered outside, as if to welcome Su Ming to return to the voyage smoothly.

Su Ming: "?????"

Su Ming was a little confused!

Su Ming thought, am I so loved in Jiangxia now?

It stands to reason that his deeds in Jiangdong should not spread so quickly.Moreover, even if it spread to Jiangxia, it wouldn't be so many people to welcome him, right?
You know, Huang Zu has been operating in Jiangxia for more than ten years, and he just captured Jiangxia. No matter what, the people shouldn't love him so much!
"Yuanzhi, what's going on?"

"Are we so loved by the people? What kind of ecstasy soup have you poured into these people?" Su Ming said to Xu Shu who was beside him.

Xu Shu replied in a low voice: "That's easy! I exempted the people from [-]% of the tax for three years, and the people naturally love us."

Su Ming: "??????"

Three years, [-]% of the tax?

This is equivalent to directly exempting the people from taxes for a year!
You know, in this war-torn era, the princes of all parties are thinking of ways to increase taxes, and Su Ming is the first to reduce taxes.

The common people got benefits, so they naturally supported and loved Su Ming and the others.

Now, the common people hope that Su Ming can occupy Jiang Xia.Because, only if Su Ming can hold Jiang Xia firmly, and promise them to exempt [-]% of the tax within three years, it will count!
If Jiang Xia changed to other princes, he would definitely not keep the promise left by Su Ming.

"You're such a prodigal!"

"I'm going to build a ship next, and I want to build an invincible water army."

"Lack of money?" Zhao Que whispered in Xu Shu's ear.

Xu Shu smiled slightly and said softly, "Master, although Jiangxia is rich, it is only a small county."

"In this county, only [-] soldiers and horses are the limit. If you want to build an invincible naval army, I'm afraid that emptying out Jiang Xia's family is not enough!"

"To build an invincible naval army, the [-]% more tax is still not enough, my lord, you have to think of other ways!"

Invincible navy?
For now, Jiangdong's navy is invincible.

Just for the navy, there are [-] sailors in Jiangdong.

However, there are six counties in Jiangdong!
Moreover, the six counties in Jiangdong are all big counties.

There are six counties in Jiangdong and nine counties in Jingxiang. It sounds like Liu Biao's territory is bigger than Sun Quan's?

Actually, this is not the case.

The six counties in Jiangdong are much stronger than Jingzhou in terms of land, population, and wealth.

Su Ming now only has one Jiangxia County, which is just right for raising [-] soldiers.

If there is more, it will become Jiang Xia's burden, which is a bit militaristic.

"Yuanzhi, I'm short of money!"

"I really have no idea about money, you have to find a way for me!" Su Ming asked Xu Shu for advice.

Xu Shu pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, you have to ask the prime minister for this money!"

"We are the troops of the great man and the prime minister. It is a matter of course to build a navy and let the court allocate money."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then analyzed: "If you want money, my lord has to go to Guandu as soon as possible."

"Yuan Benchu ​​in Jizhou is a big family. After the prime minister won the battle of Guandu, he took over the wealth left by Yuan Benchu's fourth generation and third prince. At that time, there will be many people asking for money."

"Let's find something and ask for it, so that the days to come will be more comfortable."

(ps: ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, monthly pass, I want a monthly pass.)
