Chapter 1042: Xun Yu Goes to Jiangdong

Xun Yu's escape was originally a major event, but Cao Cao couldn't take care of it.

Zhang Yu waited for a few days, and sure enough Xun Yu arrived in Youzhou.

Xun Yu went all the way north from Jiangdong, investigating all the way.

After walking around, his heart changed greatly.

The whole world is no longer the world he knows.

Xun Yu is stubborn, but this time he changed a lot.

During the three-month trip, I also heard a lot.

Especially in Jiangdong Academy, he stopped many public lectures, chatted with many students at the same time, and listened to two debates.

At this time, he changed even more. This Jiangdong Academy is so open and inclusive.

This changed Xun Yu a lot.

He has always known that Jiangdong Academy is very prosperous, with thousands of students, but the difference is that the academic style here is so prosperous.

Some unknown teachers actually have the level of masters.

How could Xun Yu not change?

After watching Jiangdong Academy, Xun Yu sighed: "In a few years, this world will belong to Zhang Yu. There are so many outstanding talents, so why not be unhappy?"

"If the big man at that time had this awareness, how could he end up like this."

"Alas, it's a pity that these princes, especially Zhang Yu and Cao Cao, don't even have a heart for the big man."

Xun Yu was very helpless, and then he went to see the lives of ordinary people.

After walking a few places, the people there are living a very good life and are very happy.

Not only is there no need to worry about food and clothing, but children can go to school without having to bear heavy corvee and so on.

In Xun Yu's heart, this is a scene of great governance, even when the Han Dynasty was at its most powerful, it couldn't be done like this.

Soon, Xun Yu went north, wanting to see other places.

He went all the way north, and so did Xuzhou.

The difference is that he saw Zhang Yu's road-building army.

He also lived with the workers for a few days.

Xun Yu began to think that these people were the corvee recruited by Zhang Yu. After all, Zhang Yu was fighting a war and needed a lot of money and food, and the construction of roads would cost a lot.

But Zhang Yu did.

"You usually eat well, white flour steamed buns, and flatbread." Xun Yu sat with the workers and watched them eat.

The worker smiled happily and said, "I can still eat meat once every three days. The taste is really good."

"Meat?"

The worker nodded and said, "Yes, the braised pork the size of a fist, the soup is the bone soup that the nobles drink, and the pigs were pulled to the construction site and killed directly."

Xun Yu was shocked, it was already very extravagant to feed the workers so well, but they still gave meat to eat.

"Seeing that you are all working hard, why are you so happy when you are working?" Xun Yu asked while eating the pancakes he brought with him.

"Can I not work hard for Master Zhang? Anyone who doesn't work hard has no conscience."

"Yes, you must work hard."

Several co-workers echoed.

Xun Yu was a little shocked, it didn't look like they were being persecuted.

Xun Yu asked again: "How can there be such a saying? How can it be called having no conscience?"

The worker got anxious and said, "That's not true, Mr. Zhang, we are provided with good food and drink, all of which are good food, and we are paid so much wages. If we don't work hard, how can we be worthy of Mr. Zhang."

A few workers next to him nodded in agreement.

A worker said in a low voice: "There are too many rules. You have to go to the latrine to go to the bathroom, you have to drink boiled water, and you have to take a bath every two days."

"What nonsense, those scholars have said that it is to prevent illness. Doing this will make it less likely to get sick."

Xun Yu didn't know what to say this time.

This is not only good food and drink, but also wages.

He inquired, and the salary was not a small amount.

"I also looked at other places. They don't have wages, do they?"

A worker said: "There are two kinds of people without wages. One is prisoners of war. They have to work for free for three years. After three years, they are released. The other is relatively short. They are people from the other side of the sea and cannot understand their words. , I don’t know why, maybe he’s also a prisoner of war.”

Xun Yu naturally knew that Zhang Yu used prisoners of war to build roads.

He just asked curiously: "Can we really let them go? Do they all do the same thing?"

"We can definitely let them go. Some of them only need to be repaired for half a year. I heard that those who listened to Mr. Zhang's words and surrendered on the battlefield will only need half a year. They have left and are no longer there."

Xun Yu was puzzled again. After he was dismissed by Cao Cao, he was not so clear about many things.

"Why did you leave part of it?"

"Hey, that's not easy. Others want to stay and continue to work. Working here is to work hard. Those who stay are already paid like us."

Xun Yu was surprised. He didn't know how much this road would cost. Zhang Yu's investment was really unimaginable.

When he came, some road sections had already been repaired, and even the city that was closer to the city had already begun to use it.

It is really comfortable to walk on this kind of road.

It was a road tens of meters wide, and if the troops walked on it, they would be very fast.

There are still many caravans on the road, and their speed is much faster.

Xun Yu understands the role of this road, but he is surprised by such a big deal.

Xun Yu is a talent in internal affairs. According to calculations, the money Zhang Yu invested in this road is difficult for Cao Cao to support.

Zhang Yu not only wanted to build roads, but also to fight wars, which surprised him.

"The workers here are not afraid of working, but of not being able to work when they are sick."

Xun Yu learned that if you are lazy here, you will not be punished, but if you do too many times, you will be kicked out, so there is no such treatment.

It depends on the situation if you are sick. If you are fine for three days, you may be paid a month's wages for more than three days and let you go back.

"Is the gap really that big?"

Xun Yu understands that the two forces were almost the same at first, and even Cao Cao had an advantage, but now, the gap is so large that Cao Cao was defeated, but still defeated.

Xun Yu continued to go north, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, he found that Qingzhou was developing better.

Qingzhou was severely damaged at the beginning, but after Zhang Yu took over, it developed rapidly, and it developed within a few years.

Xun Yu took a look around in Qingzhou, mainly visiting some rural areas.

There have been no robbers here for a long time, and there are militia patrols in the village.

At the beginning, Qingzhou was severely damaged, and there were bandits everywhere.

And Xun Yu walked from south to north alone, and he never encountered any robbers.

"Brother, are you going to Peiping? I'll pay you if you can get me." Xun Yu was tired from walking, and when he saw a caravan, he begged.

"Whether money or not, they are all away from home, let's go together."

Xun Yu is tired, but he can rest, mainly because he wants to learn about the caravan.

Along the way, he got to know people from all walks of life. If he could get to know the caravan, his investigation would be more comprehensive.

Xun Yu readily accepted and got into their carriage.
