Above the Han River.
Three flagships were sailing in the direction of Xiling County.
At this time, he had already moved away from Jiangdong and entered Jiangxia.
Even if Sun Quan took the courage of Xiong Xin, he would not dare to chase Su Ming again.
It takes several days for the ship to sail above the Han River before it can reach Xiling County.
Su Ming, Taishi Ci and the others fought for several hours, and they were already exhausted.
It was already night now, and they were resting in the cabin.
Su Ming was lying on the bed, and a familiar system prompt sound came from his mind.
[Congratulations, you have completed the task, went to the meeting alone, and went to Jiangdong alone.]
【Task Reward: Hundred Steel Making Method.】
As the system prompt sound fell, Su Ming added booklets in his hand.
Su Ming opened the booklet and saw that there were so many records of the steelmaking method.
Moreover, the system is quite considerate. The method of making steel is written in the main font of the Three Kingdoms period.
Since inheriting the original owner's memory, Su Ming, a Lishu, could still understand it.
However, Su Ming really couldn't understand the method of making steel in the official script.
This is the skill of a craftsman. It is like a mountain that is different, so Su Ming naturally cannot understand it.
"If you want to refine this hundred steelmaking technology and the shipbuilding technology obtained from Qi Jiguang's martial soul, you may have to find a suitable craftsman master!" Su Ming murmured to himself.
As a master craftsman in the Three Kingdoms period, Su Ming, as a person who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, began to look for related memories in his own memory.
After searching for a long time, Su Ming found both men and Pu Yuan.
Both of these were famous craftsmen during the Three Kingdoms period. Both Ma served in the Wei Kingdom and Pu Yuan served in the Shu Kingdom.
Wait, it's not right!
Since there is no record of these two specific ages in history, it is only recorded that Ma Jun served as the clerk of Wei during the Cao Pi period.
Pu Yuan was Xi Cao Jin, who served as the prime minister in Shu Kingdom.
What does the official positions held by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan mean?
This shows that the period when they appeared should be the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms.
You should know that Wei State was established for 220 years and Shu State was established for 221 years.
And now, it's 200 years.
In other words, there are still twenty years left before Wei and Shu.
If we calculate based on this time, then Ma Jun and Pu Yuan will still be two children.
Ma Jun and Pu Yuan must be unable to count on him. It is impossible to play a plan to develop a craftsman?
For a moment, Su Ming couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
So, I simply didn't think about it anymore. After I got back, I handed over the matter to military advisor Xu Shu.
What does a military advisor do? It is to solve difficult and complicated problems for yourself.
Thinking of this, Su Ming simply stopped thinking about it and planned to leave this matter to Xu Shu after he went back.
Jiangxia.
Xiling County.
After a few days of voyage, Su Ming and his team finally arrived at the Xiling Ferry.
It was extremely surprised to see the three Jiangdong flagships, Su Fei, Qin Qi and other generals entering the Xiling Ferry.
They thought to themselves, the lord is really amazing!
After a trip to Jiangdong, why did you get three Jiangdong flagships back?
Su Ming and the others got off the boat and came to Xiling Ferry.
Only then did I realize that Xiling Ferry was so lively today.
Especially outside the Xiling Ferry, there were crowds of people, with flags waving, and the people gathered outside, as if to welcome Su Ming back successfully.
Su Ming: "???????"
Su Ming was a little confused!
Su Ming thought to himself, am I so loved in Jiangxia now?
Logically speaking, my deeds in Jiangdong should not have spread so quickly. Moreover, even if they spread to Jiangxia, there would not be so many people coming to welcome me, right?
You know, Huang Zu has been in Jiangxia for more than ten years and has just captured Jiangxia. The people should not love him so much!
"Yuanzhi, what's going on?"
"Are we so loved by the people? What kind of ecstasy have you given these people?" Su Ming said to Xu Shu on the side.
Xu Shu replied in a low voice: "It's simple! I have exempted the people from taxes for three years, and the people will naturally love us."
Su Ming: "????????"
Three years, 30% of the tax?
This is equivalent to directly exempting the people from taxes for one year!
You should know that in this era of war, the princes of all sides were trying to increase taxes, and Su Ming was the first to reduce taxes.
The people have received benefits and are naturally supported and loved Su Ming and others.
Now, the people hope that Su Ming can occupy Jiangxia. Because only Su Ming can firmly guard Jiangxia and promised them to exempt 30% of the taxes within three years will count!
If Jiang Xia had changed to other princes, he would definitely not have kept Su Ming's promise.
"You are really a loser!"
"I will build a ship next, and build an invincible naval army."
"Where is short of money?" Zhao Que whispered in Xu Shu's ear.
Xu Shu smiled slightly and said softly: "Lord, although Jiangxia is rich, it is a small county."
"In this county, it's the limit to only 30,000 soldiers. If you want to build an invincible naval army, it may not be enough to empty Jiang Xia's family!"
"Building an invincible navy is still not enough to have more than 30% of the tax. Lord, you have to think of other ways!"
An invincible navy?
As of now, the navy in Jiangdong is invincible.
With the navy alone, there are a total of 100,000 navy troops in Jiangdong.
However, there are six counties in Jiangdong!
Moreover, the six counties in Jiangdong are all big counties.
The six counties in Jiangdong and nine counties in Jingxiang sounded like Liu Biao’s territory was larger than Sun Quan?
In fact, this is not the case.
The six counties in Jiangdong are much better than Jingzhou in terms of territory, population, or wealth.
Su Ming now only has one Jiangxia County. It is just right to raise 30,000 soldiers in this county.
If there are more, it will become a burden for Jiang Xia, which is a bit of a military force.
"Yuanzhi, I'm short of money!"
"I really have no idea about money. You have to think of a way for me!" Su Ming asked Xu Shu for a plan.
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, you have to ask the Prime Minister for this money!"
"We are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the Prime Minister's soldiers. It is natural to build a naval army and let the court allocate money."
Speaking of this, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and analyzed: "If you want money, the lord must go to Guandu as soon as possible."
"Yuan Benchu, Jizhou, is a big family. After the Prime Minister won the Battle of Guandu, he took over the wealth left over from the three kings of Yuan Benchu. At that time, there will be many people asking for money."
"Let's find some to find a way to get more time in the future."
