Xun Yu's escape was originally a major event, but Cao Cao ignored it.
Zhang Yu waited a few days, and sure enough, Xun Yu arrived in Youzhou.
Xun Yu went north all the way from Jiangdong, and made an investigation all the way.
After a walk, his heart changed greatly.
The whole world is not the world he knows.
Xun Yu was stubborn, but he changed a lot this time.
It's a three-month trip, and I've heard a lot.
Especially in Jiangdong academy, he stopped many open classes, chatted with many students and listened to two debates.
At this time, he changed a lot. Jiangdong academy is so open and inclusive.
This made Xun Yu change too much.
He has always known that Jiangdong academy is very prosperous, with thousands of students, but what is different is that the academic atmosphere here is so prosperous.
Some unknown teachers have the level of masters.
How can Xun Yu not change this.
After watching Jiangdong academy, Xun Yu sighed: "in a few years, the world will be Zhang Yu's. There are so many excellent talents, why worry about it?"
"If the great men at that time had such consciousness, how could they end up like this."
"Alas, it's a pity that these princes, especially Zhang Yu and Cao Cao, don't want to face the big Han."
Xun Yu was very helpless, and then he went to see the life of ordinary people.
After walking a few places, the people there lived a very good life and were very happy.
Not only food and clothing, children can go to school, at the same time do not have to bear heavy corvee and so on.
In Xun Yu's mind, this was the scene of Dazhi, even when the Han Dynasty was the most powerful.
Soon, Xun Yu went north 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 Zhang Yu's corvee. After all, Zhang Yu was fighting a war and needed a lot of money and food. He didn't know how much it would cost to build roads.
But Zhang Yu did.
"You usually eat good, white flour steamed bread, and big cakes." Xun Yu sat with the workers and watched them eat.
The worker said with a happy smile, "I can eat meat once every three days. It's really delicious."
"Meat?"
The worker nodded and said, "yes, a piece of braised meat and soup the size of fists are bone soup for noble people. Pigs are pulled to the construction site and killed directly."
Xun Yu was shocked that it was a luxury to give the workers such good food, but he also gave them meat.
"You all work hard. Why are you so happy to work for me?" Xun Yu took out the big cake he took with him and ate it.
"Can you work hard for Lord Zhang? He who does not work hard has no conscience. "
"Yes, we have to work hard."
A few workers echoed.
Xun Yu was a little shocked. They didn't look forced.
Xun Yu asked again, "how can there be such a saying? How can it be called having no conscience?"
The worker was in a hurry and said, "no, Mr. Zhang. We are fed with delicious food and good food. Besides, we are paid so much. If we don't work hard, we can't afford Mr. Zhang."
The next few workers nodded in agreement.
A worker whispered: "there are too many rules. When you go to the toilet, you have to drink boiled water and take a bath every two days."
"What nonsense, those scholars have said, this is to prevent illness, this is not easy to get sick."
Xun Yu didn't know what to say this time.
This is not only good food and drink, but also pay.
He inquired, but the salary was not a small sum.
"I've seen it in other places. They don't have any money?"
A worker said, "there are two kinds of people without pay. One is prisoners of war. They will be free for three years. After three years, they will be released. The other is the shorter ones. They are from the other side of the sea. They can't understand and don't know why. Maybe they are also prisoners of war."
Zhang Yu used prisoners of war to build roads, which Xun Yu naturally knew.
But he asked curiously, "can we really let them go then? Do they all do the same thing? "
"I'm sure we can let them go. Some of them only need to be repaired for half a year. It's said that those who listen to Lord Zhang's words and surrender in the battlefield only need half a year. They've already gone, and there are no more people."
Xun Yu was puzzled again. Many things were not so clear after he was dismissed by Cao Cao.
"Why part of it?"
"Hey, that's not easy. Other people want to stay and continue to work. Working here is to work hard. The people who stay are like us, and they have money to pay."
Xun Yu was very surprised. He didn't know how much this road would cost. Zhang Yu's huge investment was really unthinkable.
By the time he came, some roads had been built, and even the city which was close to the city had been put into use.
It's really comfortable to walk on this road.
It's a galloping road tens of meters wide. If the army walks on it, the speed will be very fast.
There are also many caravans on the road, and their speed is much faster.
Xun Yu understood the function of this road, but he was surprised by this great skill.
Xun Yu is a talented person in internal affairs. According to calculation, Zhang Yu's investment in this road is difficult for Cao Cao to support.
Zhang Yu not only wanted to build roads, but also to fight wars, which shocked him.
"The workers here are not afraid of work, but they are sick and have no work to do."
Xun Yu learned that if he was lazy here, he would not be punished, but if he was driven out more often, there would be no such treatment.
Sick depends on the situation, three days nothing, more than three days may be paid a month's wages, let it go back.
"Is the gap really so big?"
Xun Yu understood that the two forces had almost the same strength at the beginning, and even Cao Cao had an advantage. But now, the gap is so big that Cao Cao was defeated or defeated.
Xun Yu continued to go north. When he arrived in Qingzhou, he found that Qingzhou was developing better.
At the beginning, Qingzhou was seriously damaged, but after Zhang Yu took over, it developed rapidly, and developed in a few years.
Xun Yu had a look in Qingzhou, mainly in some rural areas.
There have been no robbers here for a long time, and there are militia patrols in the countryside.
At the beginning, Qingzhou was seriously damaged and bandits were everywhere.
Xun Yu went from south to North alone, but he never met a robber.
"Brother, are you going to Peiping? I'll pay you if you can catch up with me." Xun Yu was tired and saw a caravan, so he asked.
"If you don't have any money, you're out. Let's go together."
Xun Yu is tired, but he can rest, mainly because he wants to know about the caravan.
Along the way, he got to know people from all walks of life. If he could understand the caravan, his investigation would be more comprehensive.
Xun Yu readily accepted and got into their carriage.
