Chapter 617

When the man finished speaking, more than a dozen of the audience cheered.

I didn't expect that Liu Bei would be so miserable there.

Sun CE also thought that Liu Bei should have a good life in several cities. In particular, Liu Bei had been sending people to recruit troops.

Now I know that Liu Bei wants to recruit soldiers in other places because there are no local recruits.

Liu Bei's settlement fee is only tens of copper coins, which is good in other places. It can make a family live for a period of time.

But in Jiangdong, it's wrong. People here have fields to grow, taxes are not high, and they can earn dozens of copper coins a month by doing other jobs.

So, who will work for Liu Bei.

The most important thing is that when you are a soldier, you can divide up the fields. If you are the main fighting army, you can have five mu of land.

The garrison can cover three acres of land.

Although Minbi has no land, it can reduce some taxes.

Can you give these to Liu Bei?

Liu Bei can't give anything except a little money for settling down.

No comparison, no harm, this contrast, no one will go to Liu Bei that as a soldier.

In this era, the reason why soldiers are so easy to recruit is that they have no food to eat and can live in the army. This is a very simple reason.

But it's not in Jiangdong. Jiangdong is close to food and clothing.

Sun CE and Zhou Yu were a little frightened. They also planned to recruit soldiers here and take them back. But now it seems that they can't do so.

Sun CE and Zhou Yu listened quietly and heard all kinds of rumors.

"The merchant status here is so high. I don't know what Zhang Yu thinks. He is a scholar at least." Sun CE said in a low voice.

According to the classification, Zhang Yu is the prefect, the general, or the marquis. According to the classification, he is already a nobleman and the most noble group. But here, Zhang Yu even elevates the status of businessmen.

There are no restrictions on businessmen here, and their status is the same as others.

There's a lot of confusion. Zhang Yu has money to repair houses for the common people, distribute all kinds of farm tools, and help them repair canals.

What's more, Zhang Yu even gave money back to migrant workers for repairing canals, which helps them to repair canals. Farmers should help them voluntarily.

In fact, the people here are also very puzzled. Zhang Yu pays for the tools and materials to help them repair the canals. Even if they pay for the food, there is still a good salary to take.

But they can't do it without Zhang Yu.

Strange as they are, they are normal after a long time.

In the understanding between Zhou Yu and sun CE, if you have money, you need to recruit more troops first, and then develop people's livelihood.

Zhang Yu's practice seems to be the opposite.

If Zhang Yu makes every effort to develop military affairs, it will be absolutely terrifying.

To learn more, sun CE and Zhou Yu feel that Zhang Yu is terrible.

What's terrible is that Zhang Yu's popularity is so high here. When he returns, there will be a million troops waving. How can he fight then.

Through understanding, sun CE also knew about the long-standing militia policy.

Although sun CE knew the existence of the militia for a long time, he didn't care about it at that time.

Now that the people have so much respect and yearning for the militia, it must not be simple.

So sun CE pretended to be a scholar. He didn't have much knowledge, so he asked some people.

I don't know. There are many militia training here, and the conditions for selecting militia are stricter than the conditions for recruiting troops.

These militiamen are trained by veterans who have been injured and discharged from the armed forces. The training is usually very strict.

These militiamen can be brought to war.

Both sun CE and Zhou Yu were shocked. With such a system, once war broke out, these people could even go directly to the battlefield.

Zhang Yu hid his troops from the people and did a good job.

Now sun CE and Zhou Yu are afraid. It turns out that Jiangdong didn't pay attention to them. Now the number of militia recruited is still limited. They just ask them to help transport materials and help the cities in the rear.

The militia also recruited only part of them.

If necessary, several hundred thousand more troops can be sent to Jiangdong immediately.

It's terrible.

There was a chill behind Sun CE.

The two married for tea, and then went out of the teahouse with a lot of worries.

"Gongjin, what we thought before was too simple. We thought that consuming Zhang Yu's strength could give us more time. Now it seems that if Zhang Yu recruits the militia, he can recover his strength in three months." After going back, sun CE said to Zhou Yu.

"One wrong move, the next is wrong." Zhou Yu also sighed.

They sat opposite and fell silent again.

These two days, general sun CE's affairs were handed over to several veteran generals, and then he and Zhou Yu went around to investigate.

The more investigation, the more terrifying sun CE felt.

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

Because as long as they go to chat with a few common people, they can know a lot of things.

These are all open, but no one has studied them in depth.

"Although Bofu and Zhangyu don't understand many policies, the effect is really good. The people here are very rich. If we go into the people's homes, the people's homes can give us something to serve. There are two families and even meat."

"And the people here are crazy about Zhang Yu. They only recognize Zhang Yu."

"The so-called popular sentiment is 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 said what they saw, but he didn't understand why Zhang Yu had such strength and didn't expand his forces to rule the country.

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

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

Today, there are tens of millions of people living outside the site, and a lot of copper and gold and silver ores can be provided every year.

What Zhou Yu didn't know was that it would cost money to get such support and popular support.

If you are really good to the people, they will support you.

Zhang Yu is to make the people rich. Only when the people are rich can he be strong.

Zhou Yu and sun CE only see the surface. If they know how Zhang Yu pays, they will know that Zhang Yu doesn't have much money to support his troops.

Zhang Yu has always been on the defensive. Of course, he will do it at the critical moment.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but it's enough for Zhou Yu and sun CE to see what's on the surface. They know that Zhang Yu can't be provoked by them 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 withdraw, I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhang Yu can come to us. Besides, Cai Mao is still Zhang Yu's ally."

Sun CE was afraid.

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

After a pause, Zhou Yu shot a few wisps of essence into his eyes and said, "that's cooperation with Zhang Yu!"
