Chapter 621: Sun Ce Cowardly

After the big man finished speaking, more than a dozen audience members were hooked.

I didn't expect Liu Bei to have such a miserable life there.

Sun Ce thought that Liu Bei should live well after laying down a few cities, especially Liu Bei has been sending people to recruit soldiers and horses.

Now I know that Liu Bei wants to recruit soldiers and horses in other places because there are no soldiers and horses in the local area.

The settling fee given by Liu Bei is only a few dozen copper coins, which is not bad in other places, and it can allow the family to live for a period of time.

But it is wrong in Jiangdong. The people here have land to grow, and the tax is not high. With some other work, they can earn dozens of copper coins a month.

So, who will work for Liu Bei.

The most important thing is that when you are a soldier, you can divide the land. If you are the main battle army, a family can have five acres of land.

The defending army can have three acres of land.

Although Minbi has no land, some taxes can be reduced or exempted.

Can Liu Bei give these?

Except for a little settling allowance, Liu Bei couldn't give anything else.

There is no harm without comparison. No one would go to Liu Bei to serve as a soldier in this comparison.

In this era, the reason why soldiers are so easy to recruit is because there is no food to eat. Going to the army can eat enough and survive. This is a very simple reason.

But not in Jiangdong, Jiangdong is close to food and clothing.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were a little scared. They also planned to recruit soldiers and horses here and bring them back, but now it seems that they cannot do so.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu listened quietly, hearing various rumors.

"The status of the merchants here is so high. I don't know what Zhang Yu thinks. After all, he is considered a nobleman." Sun Ce whispered puzzled.

According to the classification, Zhang Yu is a prefect, a general, or a marquis. In terms of rank, he is already a nobleman, the most honorable group of people, but here, Zhang Yu even elevates the status of a businessman.

Merchants here have no restrictions,

The status is the same as everything else.

There are still many puzzles. Zhang Yu has money to repair houses for the people, distribute various farm tools, and even pay for them to repair canals.

What's more, Zhang Yu actually paid back the farmers' wages for repairing the canals. Farmers should be obliged to help them repair the canals.

In fact, the people here are also very puzzled, Zhang Yu helps them repair the canal, the tools and materials are all paid by Zhang Yu, and they don't need to pay for their work, but they still have good wages.

But they can't do it if they don't take it, and they won't let them do it if they don't take Zhang Yu.

Although they are strange, they will become normal after a long time.

According to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's understanding, if you have money, you must first recruit soldiers and build more soldiers and horses, and then develop people's livelihood.

And Zhang Yu's approach seems to be the opposite.

If Zhang Yu goes all out to develop military affairs, it will be absolutely terrifying.

The more they learned, the more Sun Ce and Zhou Yu felt that Zhang Yu was scary.

What's scary is that Zhang Yu's popularity is so high here, when he returns, there will be a million troops at his beck and call, so how can we fight at that time.

Through understanding, Sun Ce also knows Chang's militia policy.

Although Sun Ce knew about the existence of the militia, he didn't care at that time.

Now seeing how the people admire and yearn for the militia so much, it must not be simple.

So Sun Ce pretended to be a scholar without much knowledge, so he asked some people.

I don't know about this question. There are a lot of militia training here, and the conditions for selecting militia are stricter than their conditions for recruiting soldiers and horses.

These militiamen are trained by wounded and retired veterans, and the training is usually very strict.

These militiamen can fight when they are pulled onto the battlefield.

Both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were frightened. With such a system, once a war starts, these people can even go directly to the battlefield.

Zhang Yu hid his soldiers among the people and did a good job.

Now Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are afraid. It turned out that Jiang Dong didn't take them seriously. The number of militiamen recruited is still limited, and they are only asked to help transport supplies and help guard the rear of the city.

The militia was also only partially recruited.

If necessary, the Jiangdong area can immediately send hundreds of thousands of troops.

this is too scary.

Sun Ce's back felt a little cold.

The two made tea money, and then walked out of the teahouse with a heavy heart.

"Gongjin, we were too simplistic before, thinking that consuming Zhang Yu's strength would buy us more time. Now it seems that if Zhang Yu recruits the militia, he can recover his strength in three months." After returning, Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.

"One wrong move, the next one will be wrong." Zhou Yu also sighed.

The two sat opposite each other and fell into silence again.

In the past two days, Sun Ce handed over the affairs of the army to several veterans, and then he took Zhou Yu and him to investigate.

The more he investigated, the more terrifying Sun Ce felt.

Two days later, they had a deeper understanding of many systems in Jiangdong.

Because they only need to chat with a few common people, and they can know many things.

These are all public, it's just that no one has studied them deeply.

"Bo Fu, Zhang Yu doesn't understand many of the policies, but judging from the effect, they are really good. The people here are very rich. We enter the people's homes casually, and the people's homes can bring out things to entertain them. There are even two Meat."

"And the people here are a little fanatical about Zhang Yu, they only recognize Zhang Yu."

"The so-called people's hearts are available, Zhang Yu is not only available, as long as he calls, I don't know how many people will follow him to fight."

Zhou Yu talked about what they saw, but he didn't understand why Zhang Yu didn't expand his army and dominate the world with such strength.

It may be too early to rule the world, but it can definitely continue to expand.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Yu has been expanding these years, and the expansion is very fast, but the domestic expansion is slow, and the external expansion is very fast.

The land outside now has a population of tens of millions, and it can also provide a large amount of copper ore and gold and silver ore every year.

What Zhou Yu and the others don't know is that it costs money to gain such support and popular support.

If you are sincerely good to the people, the people will support you sincerely.

Zhang Yu is to make the people rich, and only when the people are rich can he be strong.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce only saw the surface. If they knew how Zhang Yu paid, then they would know that Zhang Yu actually didn't have much money to raise soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu has always been on the defensive. Of course, he will also take action at critical times.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are enough to see the superficial things. They know that Zhang Yu is not something they can mess with now.

"Gongjin, I'm afraid our strategy must be changed. If Zhang Yu wins in the north and his strength is still there, then even if we retreat, Zhang Yu may come to our door in a short time, not to mention Cai Mao is Zhang Yu's ally."

Sun Ce was afraid.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Then, there is only one way to do this."

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, and said with a gleam of light in his eyes, "That is to cooperate with Zhang Yu..." The strongest system to control the Three Kingdoms
