Chapter 51 Respond to changes without change

"sixties." Yu Fan also said uneasily. At that time, in order to grab time, although he felt that it was a little too high, he still agreed. He thought that Sun Shao was going to bargain anyway, and we should talk about it at that time.

Sun Shao didn't say anything, his mouth was crooked, and he looked very painful. Kong Zhu and others looked at each other, and no one said anything. Although they were prepared to reduce the price, if they took the initiative to reduce the price at the beginning of the negotiation, they would lose the momentum. Therefore, this must be said by Sun Shao. As soon as he asked for a price reduction, he would lose first, and it would be easy to talk about it later.

"Your strength is not small." Sun Shaogu said to him, "I have helped me modify more than 100 ships in a month, and my strength is only stronger than that of Houguan Shipyard."

Kong Zhu frowned and felt an ominous smell. The private workshop is stronger than the government's shipyard, which is not a compliment. It is usually the beginning of extortion. He glanced at Yu Fan and thought that he was fooled by this old man this time. He praised Sun Shao like a flower, but Sun Shao came up with such a sentence, which was the same as the routine of his old grandson before killing people. After listening to this, Wei Xiu, Sheng Gu and others also felt a little chilly. They were a little worried that not only could not be saved, but probably 40% of them had problems.

Sun Shao took a sip of tea, which kept the obviously tense atmosphere for a period of time, and then sighed: "Although 60% of the members are many, there is no reward, and there will be no brave man. Mr. Zhong Xiang handled it well, so let's do it."

Although he said that Yu Fan handled it properly, his tone clearly said that Yu Fan gave too much. It was only because of Yu Fan's face that he reluctantly agreed. Yu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful, while the others were a little overjoyed. Looking at Yu Fan again, he was a little more envious. This old guy is not popular, but he really has a lot of face. Sun Shao actually said that because he agreed to this request, which was obviously suspected of extortion, this time it was a good thing for the audit.

"I can't thank you enough for the general's mind." Wei Xiu first thanked him: "I heard that the general added a new Lin'er not long ago, and I heard that it was too late. I didn't come to congratulate him. I would like to give you a hundred gold to bathe for the general."

Although Sun Shao is very rich now, he almost bit his tongue. The Wei family is really rich, and they are rich as soon as they meet. Does my son need a hundred dollars to take a shower? Well, you can make a golden bath plate.

Kong Zhu was unwilling to fall in and immediately caught up: "Zhang is willing to give hundreds of gold to make some new clothes for your son."

"Solidly pay a hundred gold and make powder money for the general's wife."

"..."

In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight bamboo slips on the case in front of Sun Shao, and each piece of bamboo slip was worth a hundred gold. Sun Shao sighed with emotion. Damn it, in such a short time, my precious son will become a rich man.

"Thank you very much for your kindness." Sun Shao smiled and accepted all the photos. This gift is not a matter of not receiving it for nothing, and it is not to accept people's uneasy. Poor, how much I used to hate corrupt officials. How can I become a corrupt official now?

After receiving the money, everyone immediately got closer and talked about business matters. Between a few cups of tea, Kong Zhu and others reported that there were 70 or 80 boats and hundreds of boats that were going to the South China Sea to buy and sell this time. Sun Shao was shocked. He usually didn't see so many boats. These companies were more than all the merchants in Jianye City. Later, when he asked Yu Fan, he knew that their ships generally did not go to Jianye, most of which were sold in the area of Qiantang, Wu County and Shanyin, and some went to Zhejiang directly to Yuzhang County, because there was no one in the officialdom. If they went to the Yangtze River, there would be too much autumn wind along the way, and He Qi, the governor of Xindu County, was Huiji people, if they leave Xindu County, they can give a lot less money.

I made an appointment for the departure time, and everyone dispersed with satisfaction. Yu Fan was very happy. Today, he not only gained face in front of his fellow villagers, but also gained benefits. Although he did not say it explicitly, his Yu family should account for at least one percent of the 60%, which everyone knows. And if it is cut to 40% by Sun Shao today, he can't occupy more, and everyone will definitely ask for an equal share. Although he is not short of this little money, who thinks it is too much money? Besides, he doesn't love money, and he can't let the rest of the Yu family not love money.

Everything went well. A few days later, more than 800 merchant ships set sail from Qian Tangkou. Sun Shao left Yu Ying, the eldest son of Yu, and Gan Yu, to guard the Houguan Shipyard. He left 2,000 people for them. Now the pirates in the East China Sea have become sailors. Houguan Shipyard is very safe, and 2,000 people are enough. Gan Yu was inexplicably grateful. Although he was just a captain now, Sun Shao gave him the shipyard in charge. In fact, he was at least a middle-ranking general. If Sun Quan sent someone else to take over the shipyard, he could fight with Sun Shao again. If Sun Quan gave Sun Shao a face and let him really be in charge of the shipyard, he would mention his official sooner or later. Job, your own survival crisis is really over.

... At the beginning of May, when the southeast wind gradually blew, Sun Shao led a vast fleet into Panyu Port and returned here a year later. His momentum was completely different. When he came last time, there were only ten ships, and he became a general of Henghai. Shiwei gave him five broken ships. Now he has nearly a thousand warships, and there are seven buildings alone, which is much more powerful than Shiwei.

Walking like a long drought and encountering rain, he was overjoyed and took the officials to the outside of Panyu City to meet him. Although Shi Wei was not convinced, the situation was so strong that he had to follow him out of the city. When he saw Sun Shao's huge fleet at the dock, his face suddenly looked like a persimmon trampled. Last year, he was abducted by half of his men and horses. Later, he almost rebelled in the nest. He was almost robbed of the military power by the soldiers. Thanks to the fact that he saw the opportunity, he cried to several uncles. Finally, the uncle's heart softened and spared him a meal, but he put down again. If you make a mistake again, you will lose your strength here. If so, don't blame me for being merciless. I can't throw all the strength of the sailor into your hands. At that time, Shiwei kowtowed repeatedly and assured several elders that he would be careful. In October last year, when he cooperated with Bu Qian to fight against Zhu Ya, he put a Bu Qian at a critical moment and almost planted all the Bu Qian in it. Bu Qian, who was defeated in the battle, lost all of the battle. Under their soft and hard, he cancelled the escort requirements, which was a spell on their heads.

I thought it was quite good. At that time, they estimated that even if Sun Quan could eliminate the pirates in the East China Sea, he could not do it without a year and a half. After winning, he still needed time to stabilize. It was even more difficult for Bu Qian to reorganize the sailors he could control. Therefore, they are at ease, calmly waiting for Sun Quan's next move. When they learned that Lv Fan had lost soldiers in the East China Sea, they would smile. The East China Sea is not peaceful, and merchant ships dare not go north. All the goods can only be processed in the South China Sea, and they have made a lot of money. So they were very happy to hoard goods at a low price while complaining to Buqi that the sea was not connected, which affected them to make money.

No one expected that as soon as Sun Shao came out of the East China Sea, he got Su's thick legs in a few words. The king of pirates in the East China Sea actually surrendered like this. Then Sun Shao swept the East China Sea like a tsunami, and then rushed to Jiaozhou.

Shiwei felt a chill. Sun Shao was too insidious. Last time, he only had 15 boats. First, he pretended to be Cui Qian's subordinates to scare the little pirates away, and then he caught the headhunter king alive, and then swept all the way, and the pirates along the way suffered a lot. If it weren't for the bad time, maybe he could help Bu Qian attack Zhu Ya. I thought he would not come back when he left, but I didn't expect that he not only came back, but also brought more than 15,000 sailors.

Shi Wei knew that with his current strength, he could not interfere with Sun Shao. Sun Shao could completely leave him alone and ask him to join hands with the pirates to deal with Sun Shao. To be honest, he didn't have the courage. Sun Shao is so insidious. Who knows if he is dealing with Cui Qian in the open, but secretly ready to deal with him?

"What's wrong with the general? You don't look well." Sun Shao smiled at Shiwei: "Is it too hard to fight against pirates recently? Don't worry, since I'm here, I will definitely help you flatten the red cliff.

Shiwei laughed twice: "There is a general and tiger power. Naturally, the horse succeeds and wins the flag." He arched his hand and said politely, "General Shi Weiwei's horse's head is a look."

"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed: "General, you're welcome. The last time I conquered Xu Wen, I had to take care of the general. This time, I must return the general's kindness.

Shiwei licked his lips and said that this boy was still a grudge. Last time he was asked to be a striker, and this time it was his turn to be his striker. It's difficult. Do you play as a striker or not? Fight, then there must be a loss. If you don't fight, isn't that just an excuse for him?

Bu Qian was very happy to see Shiwei's face like constipation. In the past six months, he had been damaged by Shiwei's coldness. Shiwei came to the assassin's mansion to complain when he was not free, and asked him for the governor of the South China Sea. When he heard that Lv Fan was defeated in the East China Sea, he almost agreed. Later, he received the news that Sun Shao had sent troops, and he supported it again. He believes that Sun Shao can smooth the thick legs of the East China Sea and then turn to the South China Sea. At that time, he didn't dare to think too much. He just hoped that Sun Shao could bring three or five thousand people, and he would not be overwhelmed by Shiwei. I didn't expect that there were more than 10,000 people in Sun Shao, which made him very happy.

Entering the city, after the cold noise, Bu Qian invited Zhang Zhao and Sun Shao to the study, first handed over the seal of the governor of the South China Sea to Zhang Zhao, and then asked, "Feng Xian, what's your plan?"

Sun Shao looked at Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao coughed and said, "Zishan, is the chart ready?"

Bu Qian blushed and knew that he was a little too impatient. Looking at this, Sun Shao should have no plan to do it in the short term. It should be after the hurricane season in July and August is over. He shook his head and took out some maps: "I dare not hide it from Zhang Gong. Although I sent someone to measure the charts, I can't guarantee that these charts are right. First, I can't believe these people, and second, I also doubt their level. Feng Xian, both Yu Lu are by your side. Do you have a plan to redraw the chart?

Sun Shao smiled. Bu Yu was unconvinced. He intentionally or unintentionally said that he had a lot of resources. He might be thinking that if he had 15,000 soldiers and talents such as Lu Ji and Yu Fan, he could also win. But why didn't he think that when I went out to build Ye, there were only 70 or 80 boats, more than 1,000 people, and my men still had a lot of opinions, and they could stab me in the back at any time?

"I don't think it's a question of whether or not, but a question of necessity." Sun Shao replied calmly, "Shi Xie has been operating in Jiaozhou for 20 or 30 years. It will take us at least two or three years, right? It's too urgent. It's not necessarily a good thing. My men have never been to Jiaozhou, and they also need time to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Mr. Fu, please give an order first to restore the rules of the sailor's escort.

"I know." Bu Qian nodded repeatedly and looked at Sun Shao with strange eyes. The last time Sun Shao came, he was just sternal. He pushed everything out for fear that people would doubt him, but this time it was different. There was a breath from the inside out. There was no more caution hidden in the bones.

"Mr. Gongji has trained 50 people who can make measurements. We can do more, measure the islands along the way in the shortest time, draw a practical and reliable chart, clear the periphery first, and gradually approach the red cliff." Sun Shao made a false circle on the chart, and then put his finger on Xu Wen: "For the convenience of action, I want to transfer the residence of Jiaozhou sailors to Xu Wen and monitor Cui Qian nearby. I really want to see if Cui Qian can sit firmly with more than 10,000 people in Xu Wen."

Step by step looked at the map and nodded repeatedly: "This is good, this is good, not to mention the time to go back and forth, you can also take care of Jiaotong and Hepu counties. Mr. Zhang, Feng Xian, do you want to force Shi Yi to hand over the Taishou of Hepu first?

Zhang Zhao shook his head: "I can't see it well. Fengxian was not familiar with Hepu and took over at once, which was easy to cause uneasiness among the locals. It was better to take your time to give Shi Yi a chance to provoke. There are more than 10,000 people in the town, and Shiyi needs to be more or less restrained.

Bu Qian was a little hesitant, and he didn't agree with Zhang Zhao's opinion. If you don't remove Shi Yi, the eunuch, all of Sun Shao's expenses will be handled by Shi Yi. It is completely possible for Shi Yi to take advantage of this reason to be rampant, and then put all the responsibilities on Sun Shao's head, causing the dissatisfaction of the local people in Hepu for Sun Shao. However, he was a little afraid of Zhang Zhao and did not dare to object directly, so he had to look at Sun Shao. Sun Shao didn't see it. He just stared at the map and measured it on the map. He shook his head and laughed.

Bu Qian finally decided not to say that both teachers and students are people that Sun Quan doesn't like. Since Sun Quan sent them, the two teachers and students, he must have his intention, and maybe he must have the intention to make him suffer a little. In this case, let Sun Shao break through. If something goes wrong, it's not too late for him to come forward.

"It's up to Mr. Zhang." Bu Qian nodded vaguely, and the little excitement that he could feel at first has now disappeared.

"Your Majesty, please immediately order the counties to prepare at least half a year's grain for the army." Sun Shao raised his head from the map and looked directly at Bu Qian, "Sell it directly to Xu Wen, and I will receive it there. Order Xu Wenling Shihong that if there is a little mistake in the grain and grass, he will take full responsibility.

Bu Qian nodded with no expression on his face.

... "All right." Shi Yi gently put down the official document and said to the corners of his mouth: "Just go and prepare."

Shi Hong didn't move and looked into Shi Yi's eyes: "How much do you add? Thirty of them?"

"Third of 30%?" Shi Yi snorted, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shi Hong, and then turned over: "Double it."

"Double?" Shi Hong took a breath of cold air: "That's not going to fall out."

"It's better to turn it over." Shi Yi stared at him and shouted harshly, "Do you want to be safe? How many troops are stationed in Xu Wen? What's the use of Xu Wenling? Where is Xu Wen? Xu Wen is the place where the wealth of Jiaozhou is most concentrated. He came to Xu Wen not for Cui Qian, but for Xu Wen City.

"I see." Shi Hong suddenly realized and got up to leave.

"Wait a minute." Shi Yi stopped Shi Hong: "Sid someone to inform Cui Qian that Sun Shao, who pretended to be him last year, came again. This time, he is not so simple to impersonate him, but to destroy him. Our family can't protect himself. We can't help him. He wants to take care of himself. Fight if you can, fight, surrender as soon as possible, or run away.

Shi Hong nodded repeatedly, and he thought, "Aren't we going to join the war?"

"Sun Shao has a large number of people, and Bu Qian has suffered two losses for us. Do you think he will give you a chance?" Shi Yi curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Let's take a look around and see how much this boy from the Sun family can fight. Say to lower Su's thick legs? Let me see if he can say that he surrenders to Cui Qian.

Shi Hong held back his smile and turned around and left. Shi Yi turned to his second son Shi Kuang and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with Sun Shao's lowering Su's thick legs? I think it's so strange. Then Su's thick legs are proud. Even the Houguan Shipyard dares to go and beat Lv Fan into a loss. Why did he surrender as soon as Sun Shao went?"

Shi Kuang shook his head with a wry smile. Everyone thought it was weird, but no one could say where it was. They also know that Sun Shao and Su's thick legs have friendship. Sun Shao once waved across the sea with the battle flag of Su's thick legs, but this friendship can make Su's thick legs surrender? Sun Shao also hung Cui Qian's battle flag. Does it mean that they also have friendship?

"Quick horse newspaper and your uncle. I feel that Sun Shao is not good this time. Sun Quan may be playing some tricks and let him make an idea as soon as possible." Shi Yi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "Why is it not good to stay? Isn't it embarrassing for me to stay in Xu Wen?"

... "What's the dilemma?" Shi Xie lay on the rocking chair and relaxed: "He has thousands of wonderful plans, and I can't move like a mountain. Zhu Ya is so big. Where can Cui Qian hide it? Can he find it? Ten thousand people, ten thousand people scattered to Zhuya, and they couldn't even find a shadow. There are so many big and small ports in Zhu Ya. Let him search slowly. If Cui Qian can't deal with this, he deserves to die.

"What about us?" Shi Kuang asked carefully.

"Don't worry. We will do whatever Bu Qian asks us to do. Even if he wants this Hepu Taishou, give it to him." Shi Xie's wrinkled eyes trembled: "A 20-year-old boy happened to have won two battles and thought he was invincible in the world. There is really no one under Sun Quan's men. They are either relatives or clans. In addition to these relatives, what other capable people are his subordinates?
