Chapter 096 Foreshadowing (Monday)
Liu Biao sat upright in the hall, looking at Sun Ce who was walking quickly under the fire, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.
He is too young, and there is not even a beard on his lips. How could a young man who is so young and handsome have such a ruthless way? Not only did he kill Kuai Yue's family, but he didn't even let the Xi family go. The Xi family's foundation for more than 100 years was destroyed.
How can I win if I become an enemy of such a person? I can’t do it, and Kuai Yue can’t do it either.
Liu Biao stood up, walked to the threshold, and bowed to the salute. "Shanyang Liu Biao."
Sun Ce came to the hall, stood outside the threshold, bowed and bowed. "Sun Ce from Jiangdong."
Liu Biao was a little surprised. Sun Ce did not respond to the county and directly reported to Jiangdong. This was a big tone. He took off the seal of the governor of Jingzhou on his waist and presented it with both hands. Sun Ce was not polite, so he reached out to take it, took a look, and put it in his arms. "Does Liu Jun want to leave or stay? If he wants to leave, I will immediately send someone to send him a banquet to show off to Liu Jun. If Liu Jun thinks that Jingzhou is still in a good place, he can do it by himself if he wants to stay here for a few days."
Liu Biao smiled bitterly. "The defeated general, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, the emperor, how could he stay here? I will leave early tomorrow morning."
Sun Ce nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If Liu Jun doesn't mind me being abrupt, I have a few words to say to Liu Jun."
"Mr. Sun, please speak in person."
"The world is about to be in chaos, and everyone thinks they have the opportunity to compete for the world, but not many people are self-aware. Yuan Shao's momentary glory is just a false reputation. If Liu Jun wants peace, it is best not to follow him."
Liu Biao smiled and asked back, "What about the queen general?"
Sun Ce smiled without saying a word, and bowed sideways. Liu Biao put on his shoes, went out, bowed to Sun Ce, and left.
Sun Ce went to the hall, sat down on the main table, and let out a long breath. After struggling for more than half a month, he finally took down Xiangyang City. The base area was temporarily available, but he didn't know how many days it could be maintained. When he thought of Yuan Shu's nature, Sun Ce was a little depressed. To be honest, he hoped that Yuan Shu would die directly in Xinye and end it all. But he also knew that this was unlikely. First, his father Sun Jian could not be an unfaithful minister and refused to save him when he was dead. Second, the Sun family's reputation was too low. Without Yuan Shu, the situation would only be worse. The rebellions in Jingzhou would come one after another, and he had no hope to rely on the strength of Jingzhou to fight for the Central Plains.
He had to eat tofu bite by bite, and things had to be done one by one, so he couldn't be anxious. He advised Zhou Yu this way, and he even advised himself this way. Of course, he couldn't give Xiangyang a free gift to Yuan Shu. He had to get some benefits and stumbling for him to come back in the future.
Sun Ce sent someone to call Sun Fu. Sun Fu was very excited. As soon as he entered the door, he looked around and said loudly. "Bo Fu, Zhou Gongjin is really accurate this year. He has not won Xiangyang after attacking for so many days, but he won without a fight today."
Sun Ce did not stop him. Sun Fu always had a repulsive attitude towards Zhou Yu, and always felt that Zhou Yu was trusted by their father and son because of his family background. Sun Fu was only a talented person. If he kept his duties, he would have no problem in maintaining his success, and his wealth and glory would not be lacking. But if he had too great ambitions, it would become a problem. Let him worship Zhou Yu now, don’t think too much in the future, it will be no harm.
"Where is sister-in-law?"
"Where is here, here." Cai Ke walked in from outside the door, smiling and obviously excited, but he wanted to pretend to be embarrassed. "You men are talking about things, I am a woman, so it's not appropriate."
"Although you are a woman, you can do most of the time. I would rather talk to you about some things." Sun Ce smiled. "Sister-in-law, take down Xiangyang, the Cai family has made the most contributions, and you have made a lot of contributions. What do you think you want?"
"Me?" Cai Ke rolled his eyes and covered his mouth and laughed. "What can I do? Women cannot be an official. Bo Fu, just take care of the national etiquette, don't worry about me."
"You can't say that. Rewarding merits and punishing merits and punishing merits is the basic principle. If you didn't have the golden silk brocade jacket designed by you and Achu, my father would have a good life, and no one of us can laugh out loud now. How can we say that if we don't have such a great contribution?"
Cai Ke was full of joy and was happy, but he refused to say what he wanted, but he kept glancing at Sun Fu. Sun Fu also felt honored, so he came to Sun Ce and bowed. "Bo Fu, don't keep it in hiding. Tell me, how do you want to thank A Ke, reward money or be granted an official?"
"I'm poor and useless, there's really no money. As an official, I'm an old man who will be granted the title by then, and it won't be my turn to decide."
Cai Ke immediately showed disappointment, glared at Sun Fu fiercely, and turned his head. Sun Fu was also embarrassed and tried his best to wink Sun Ce's eyes. Sun Ce held back his laughter and continued, "However, I have a suggestion that I can leave my sister-in-law's name in history. I wonder if my sister-in-law is interested?"
"Leave a name in history?" Cai Ke turned his head and was skeptical. "I can't do knowledge or become a talented woman. Don't lie to me."
"Who said that only talented women can leave their names in history?"
"What else can it be done?"
“Do a big thing.”
"What's the big deal?"
"Sister-in-law, what's the biggest thing in life? Let's eat and wear aside in advance. What's your women's expertise is, why can Laozu be admired by future generations? Because she invented sericulture and has benefited the people of the world."
"How can I have that ability? Besides, the first choice is Xiangyi, and the second is Qingzhou. Even Bashu is very good. Jingzhou has no good silkworm seeds, and there are no good brocade weaving experts..."
"But they didn't make golden silk brocade armor."
"This..." Cai Ke was moved. With Sun Jian's live advertisements that escaped the disaster, it was expected that the famous golden silk and brocade armor would be a big deal. The world is in chaos and countless people are facing a life-and-death crisis. Who wouldn't want to have such a treasure, and sales will definitely be no problem. "But, golden silk is too expensive."
"Achu said that at most three years, she can make stronger and lower-cost iron wire, and maybe she can replace Zhajia."
Cai Ke took a breath of air conditioning, his eyes widened. Sun Fu was puzzled and stabbed her repeatedly. She said angrily: "You are stupid. If you can replace Zhajia, just Jingzhou, it would be a business worth tens of thousands of items a year. If all of them are supplied by us, my god, I dare not think about it."
Sun Fu was also startled and looked at Sun Ce, unable to say a word.
Sun Ce said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is this suggestion worth the loss of the land you have made in the Cai family?"
Cai Ke's eyes rolled, and he came over, holding his red cheeks with both hands, and his shiny eyes were full of greed. She squinted at Sun Ce. "Can you let me run this business exclusively?"
Sun Ce leaned back and stayed away from Cai Ke. "The technique of pulling iron into silk is in Achu's hands. Even if someone wants to steal your business, she has to agree. Sister-in-law, digging food from the soil is something that stupid people do, and smart people make money by their brains. Think about it, how many of the world-famous businessmen rely on farming to make a living?"
