The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 156
Then he turned his head and said to Qin Fan: "My lord, you agreed on 1 taels of silver, and you can't lack even a little bit."

Zhuge Jin shook his head and chuckled.

At this time, a young man in a loose official uniform came in, and as soon as he entered, he cupped his fists and said: "Cang Cao and Lu Su have seen you adults."

"Excuse me, Zijing, how much money will be put into the treasury this time?"

Qin Fan painted cakes for him, but he didn't say how many, and he wasn't sure if there were any.

"It would be great if it can exceed five thousand."

Gu Yong thought so secretly in his heart.

Before Lu Su could speak, he saw a young man in front of him suddenly turn his head to look at him. He took a step back subconsciously, and then realized that his action was wrong. A total of 8000 and [-] taels of silver."

Zhuge Jin's brush fell to the table with a "click", and the ink threw him all over him.

Gu Yong picked out his ears, "What did you say? Say it again."

Lu Su repeated: "A total of 8000 and [-] taels of silver have been put into the warehouse."

Gu Yong stood up abruptly, and the harsh sound of creaking from the bench behind him shocked all three of them.

"Come on, take me to see it."

Gu Yong's face turned red, he suppressed his excitement, and didn't care that Qin Fan was still there, he dragged the dazed Lu Su outside.

Qin Fan came back to his senses, looked at Zhuge Jin who was frantically picking up his pen and ink, and said, "Ziyu, who is this Lu Su?"

"My lord, Zijing."

Zhuge Jin cleaned up the stains, and said casually: "This kid is a little talented, so he came here to ask for an official position. Yuan Tan and I thought it was interesting, so we tested him and found that he was not bad at learning, so we let him be a warehouse for the time being." Cao Cao."

Not only is he talented, Lu Su's reputation is far greater than yours.

The talent ran into his own bowl, and he must not be allowed to fly away.

Qin Fan suppressed his excitement, a small slap in the face obviously couldn't reflect the value of Lu Su.

Qin Fan suddenly felt that his Lujiang County was really too small, full of talented people, no matter where he was placed, he felt that he was a Qucai.

Make another county!

Qin Fan greeted: "Bring the map."

"Hey."

Zhuge Jin didn't doubt that there was it, and hurriedly took a map and handed it to Qin Fan.

Qin Fan looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly asked: "Who is the prefect of Yuzhang County?"

Zhuge Jin replied, "It's Zhou Shu."

"Zhou Shu? Who is this person facing?"

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "Ziyu doesn't know, but according to the records, he was personally appointed by Emperor Han."

Well, since Liu Xie personally made the appointment, there is a chance of persuasion.

What made Qin Fan happy was not that Zhou Shu didn't take refuge in anyone, but that Yuzhang County was too big, almost twice the size of Lujiang County.

There are only ten counties in Lujiang County, but there are 21 counties in Yuzhang County combined.

"Do you have information about Yuzhang County?"

Zhuge Jin searched for a while, then handed it to Qin Fan and said, "The information is limited, my lord, you will just take a look."

Qin Fan took the information, made a rough overview, and flipped through the people he was most related to.

It was found that Yuzhang County has a population of 50 million households and more than 160 million people.

Qin Fan was surprised and said, "Why is there so many people in Yuzhang County?"

Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "Because the place is big, but most of these places are not good places. Although there are many people, many of them are from Shanyue. These people are wild and difficult to deal with."

Shan Yue people?
Some news suddenly popped into Qin Fan's head. During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Wei often conquered, but only Wu Kingdom had only a few unsatisfactory conquests.

The most important reason for this is that there are many mountains and rivers in Wudi, and there are a large number of Shanyue people living there.These Shanyue people often made troubles for Wu, which made Sun Quan unable to go on conquest with peace of mind.

Qin Fan was deep in thought, Zhuge Jin didn't dare to speak, but just looked at him silently.

Qin Fan thought for a while, then said to Zhuge Jin, "Ziyu, go and call Yuan Tan here."

"Here."

"My lord, where did you get so much money?"

Gu Yong looked excited, and laughed loudly: "With this money, it is enough for me to do a lot of things."

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention this, let me ask you which county you said you were going to last time?"

"Which county?"

Gu Yong scratched his head, quickly understood, and said, "I am familiar with Zhou Shu, Yuzhang County."

Speaking of this, Gu Yong stepped aside and took out some documents and handed them to Qin Fan.

"My lord, take a look, if we can get Yuzhang County, we can expect great things."

Qin Fan did not go to accept the materials that Gu Yong handed over, but grabbed Gu Yong's arm and said, "Yuan Tan, no matter what this time, we have to convince Zhou Shu. Even if we are not convinced, we must find a way to persuade."

Gu Yong made a slight sign, then nodded solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, Yuan Tan understands."

Qin Fan reminded: "When you go, take Xu Chu with you, he can help you a lot."

Gu Yong nodded slightly.

With Lujiang County plus Yuzhang County, there are more than 200 million people.This is not a small amount.At that time, it will be more convenient to raise soldiers and horses.

"My lord, do you know why I set my target on Yuzhang County?"

Qin Fan thought for a while, and said: "There are many mountains in Yuzhang, so it is not a good place. Does Yuan Tan have other plans?"

Gu Yong clapped his palms and said with a smile: "One is that I know Zhou Shu. But this is only a small reason, and the more important thing is what the Lord said just now, because of Shanyue."

Qin Fan looked puzzled.

Gu Yong said with a smile: "In other people's eyes, Shanyue is a bad thing, but in our opinion, Shanyue is a good thing."

"Why?" Qin Fan still didn't understand.

"We can recruit troops in an upright manner, and say we are attacking Shanyue."

Gu Yong smiled slightly, and talked eloquently: "Shanyue people are extremely fierce, and there are a lot of people. When the time comes, find a way to let them move down the mountain, and our population will be supplemented even more.

"My lord, tell me, is this Yuzhang County a good place?"

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, where there is danger, there is opportunity, and if you look at a problem from the other side, you can get a different answer. Qin Fan admired Gu Yong extremely, and said with emotion: "Yuan Tan really has the talent of Wang Zuozhi."

Gu Yong hurriedly said a few words modestly, and said again: "It's not too late, I decided to go to Yuzhang County tomorrow to take a look, if it doesn't work, I have to stay there for two days to find out the situation."

Qin Fan nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety, by the way, what has Sun Ce of Wujun done recently?"

"The counties in Yangzhou are very peaceful, and there has been no fighting recently."

"Pay close attention to Sun Ce's side. Once there is a move, we can recruit troops in an open and honest manner."

Yangzhou's power composition is too complicated, Qin Fan has to be careful, otherwise he will be attacked by a group if he is careful.

After talking for a while, Qin Fan thought of Lu Su again. If Yuzhang County was defeated, he intended to let Lu Su be the prefect.

But if it was Zhou Shu who surrendered, obviously the prefect could only be Zhou Shu.
