The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 299: Mei Gongjin is uncomfortable, Zhou Gongqi takes control

Zhou Yu was anxious and blushed, and he stopped drinking the porridge. He put down the bowl and looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Don't you know why?"

"I want to benefit the people and solve the problem of people traveling between the two sides of the Yangtze River."

Luo Yuan deliberately insulted Zhou Yu!

Continue to be stubborn.

"Gongjin, think about it, if I build a bridge in Jiangling, the transportation on both sides of the Yangtze River will be convenient, and the benefits of the exchange of people and goods on both sides will be huge. Maybe a county town can be developed on the other side," Luo Yuan said as he drew his strokes, just like a naive person.

"Then all the goods from Jiangdong will be able to enter Jiangling via the bridge. How great is that!"

"If people, horses and goods can pass through, then Cao Cao can pass through too, right?"

"What does my building a bridge have to do with Cao Cao?"

Zhou Yu was completely uneasy. With a bridge, who could be Cao Cao's opponent?

"Luo Yuan, you want to build a bridge, but we in Jiangdong object!"

"Why?" Luo Yuan looked at Zhou Yu in shock. "Why do you oppose me when I build a bridge? I didn't build it on your territory. You don't have to pay for the bridge, and it can bring you great convenience. Why oppose it? Jiangdong opposes me building a bridge in Jiangling, and Cao Mengde can't control me. How can you control me?"

Long-arm jurisdiction!
Want to learn from the Americans?
Bah, the ancestors of today’s Americans weren’t even born yet.

Luo Yuan found it funny, "I am wholeheartedly working for the people, what's the point of your opposition!"

Zhou Yu also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't want to apologize. He just looked at Luo Yuan, not believing that Luo Yuan didn't understand what he meant!
“If it can’t be repaired, it can’t be repaired”

"There must be a reason!"

Looking at Zhou Yu who was as angry as a bull, Luo Yuan sighed and said, "You said if you didn't make trouble, everyone would be in harmony, but you had to make trouble!"

"Gongjin, the people all know not to meddle in other people's business. Why don't you understand? Jiangdong can't control me. If there is a bridge, I can quickly get the food produced in Jiangdong, and it will be easier to spend the winter. This bridge means a lot to me!"

"Luo Yuan, you bastard!" Zhou Yu was furious: "You want to help Cao Cao deal with Jiangdong?"
"Why do you say that? Did I say that?"

"Then why do you build bridges?"

"It's to facilitate the people's travel and trade. I collect bridge tolls!"

"If the people can cross, the army can also cross, right?" Zhou Yu said, "Next year Cao Cao comes and he uses your bridge to attack Jiangdong. If so, what's the use of Jiangdong's navy?"

"Oh, that's actually the case!" Luo Yuan looked embarrassed. Sorry, I didn't expect that. Then he looked at Zhou Yu and said, "I just don't let him pass. After all, I am the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Wu!"

I don't believe you at all.

Zhou Yu said, "I don't believe a word you said. You are the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Wu, but you are also the son-in-law of Cao Cao. Isn't your wife Cao Jie the eldest daughter of Cao Cao? Luo Yuan, tell me directly, how can we not build the bridge?"

"Well... well, I just want to do something for the people. There are 600,000 people in Jiangling, and some of them have relatives on the other side of the river. It is very inconvenient for them to travel back and forth. If there is a bridge, they can go visit their relatives." Luo Yuan said: "If we officials don't do things for the people, what's the point of being officials?"

"This bridge is not only my idea, but also the wish of 600,000 people in Jiangling. The people are looking forward to it, how can I let them down?" Luo Yuan looked very troubled.

It's not that I don't want to help you, but how can I let the people down just to help you?
It's all for the people's happy life and has nothing to do with me personally.

Zhou Yu thought about how he had refused when Luo Yuan asked him to suspend the naval training, and he felt extremely upset.

The arrow that I shot just now is now stuck in my chest. What a bastard, what a bastard!

I feel like I'm being manipulated again.

We must not let Luo Yuan build the bridge. If there really is a bridge on the Yangtze River, then the Shunmin navy is all nonsense.

Jiangdong no longer has any advantage.

Zhou Yu looked at the vast expanse of water and said unwillingly: "Can you really build a bridge?"

"Sure, I'll tell you how to build it." Luo Yuan was very frank. He already had a plan and knew you wouldn't believe it. "You know there's something called cement in Jiangling? It was discovered when porcelain was being fired. It turns into mud when it meets water, and hardens when the water dries. It's very convenient to use it to build houses. First, use a large ship to plant cement with bamboo as tendons to build bridge pillars on the Yangtze River. This will be enough for a hundred bridges, and then lay wood as the bridge deck!"

"There is another way, we can use boats to build a floating bridge. This will require more boats, but it doesn't matter. Jiang Ling can just use more wood. Well, I think we can just use wood instead of boats. Hollow out the middle of a large log and use iron chains to fix millions of wood on the left and right. Jiang Zhongxin can just use a few logs as support pillars."

Luo Yuan clapped his hands and said, "This method is better, it can save costs and is faster. Thank you. If I hadn't talked to you, I wouldn't have thought of such a good idea!"

Zhou Yu is a Muggle, so...are there several ways to repair the bridge?
Zhou Yu couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat. There was really nothing he could do when he met someone like Luo Yuan.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm himself. He had no choice but to compromise!
Luo Gongqi is a bastard.

"How about this? In the future, the Jiangdong navy will not train on the Yangtze River anymore."

"Will it delay your training of the army? If so, I will be guilty and I will be embarrassed when I meet Marquis Wu in the future!"

"No!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said coldly.

You, such a shameless person, would be embarrassed to meet Wu Hou? Who would believe that?

"Meng De will be here next year. Will it affect you?"

"..."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes fiercely. Who are you implying with such sarcasm? "No!"

"Oh, then I feel relieved. Gongjin really takes care of me!" Luo Yuan picked up the bowl and started to drink the porridge. "Gongjin, eat with us. Don't be polite."

Still in the mood for porridge?

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at Luo Yuan and turned to leave. When he was about to get off the boat, he turned back and said, "You are not allowed to repair the bridge."

Kaka!

Zhou Yu got off the ship in anger.

Luo Yuan drank his porridge and smiled as he watched Zhou Yu go back. "Really, you really don't know what's going on. You have to let me control you to feel comfortable, right? Isn't it better for him to live a good life? Why are you so depressed?"

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, Jiangdong and Kong Ming have agreed to fight against Cao?"

Just now, when he heard what Zhou Yu said about resisting Cao Xu Shu, he had an idea in mind.

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "How can it be so fast? Whether Jiangdong will resist Cao is not up to Kong Ming. However, it is clear that Zhou Yu wants to resist Cao, but the Jiangdong nobles may not. It depends on what Kong Ming says!"

I really want to go and see if I can debate with the scholars. Unfortunately, Luo Yuan is just thinking about it. Xu Shu will definitely not allow me to do so.
