Liu Bei let out a long sigh as he watched the commoners leave.
"Duke Xuande, the problem of farmland has been solved. What are you still worried about?”
Qin Feng smiled in surprise and asked.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly again and said slowly,""I wonder how Gongyou is progressing. We will need a lot of money to build this curved shaft plow and that watering cart. I wonder if the water from afar can quench my thirst?”
"Aiya, I was wondering why you were worried. This is not a problem. I have already asked Jian Yong to arrange for these farming tools to be forged.”
Qin Feng laughed and said.
"Oh, how can it be so fast? Isn't the refined salt at Gongyou's side not mined yet?”
Liu Bei was stunned again and asked in confusion.
"Duke Xuande, I won't hide it from you. These two days, I've asked Xian He to find a few wealthy local people and plan to hand over the forging of farming tools to them.
"As for now, we only need to pay a deposit of 10%. In half a month, when our first batch of refined salt comes out, it won't be a problem for us to sell the salt for money or use the salt as compensation.”
Qin Feng smiled and explained to Liu Bei.
"Ah, really?"
Liu Bei asked in surprise.
"Absolutely true, hahaha…"
Qin Feng laughed.
Actually, there was one more thing that Qin Feng did not tell Liu Bei.
That was, he had already sent Sun Qian to find Mi Zhu from Xu Prefecture. Firstly, he wanted to recruit this rich man into his team. Secondly, he wanted to use the Mi Family's trade route to open up the refined salt market in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xu Prefecture.
He believed that with Mei Zhu's foresight, he would definitely be able to see the shocking profits.
Most importantly, Qin Feng hoped to have a deep discussion with Mi Zhu.
In history, when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou for a short period of time, Mi Zhu chose to bet on Liu Bei, and he did not change until his death.
As for the current Liu Bei, as long as he occupied Hanzhong, it would be much better than the situation in history where Xu Prefecture was surrounded by enemies.
He didn't believe that Mei Zhu wouldn't bet.
Qin Feng admired Mi Zhu's ability and was confident that he could convince him to join.
That night, after returning to the county office, Liu Bei came to the government office with a secret letter.
Qin Feng happened to be in the government office dealing with government affairs. When he saw Liu Bei come in with an excited expression, he quickly put down the brush in his hand.
In the process of handling government affairs these few days, Qin Feng missed the days when there were computers in the future. He only needed to move the mouse and click the keyboard to get many things done.
But now, Qin Feng felt like a porter, tossing and turning the heavy Cheng Yu over and over.
No, he had to get the paper and charcoal pens out as soon as possible. Otherwise, this office would be a torture.
"Wen Xuan, Sun Wentai replied. In the letter, he thanked us for our early warning, allowing him to avoid a certain death.”
Liu Bei waved the letter in his hand and smiled at Qin Feng.
"Oh, it's good that Sun Wentai isn't dead. This way, Yuan Shu can't be the only one.”
Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
"I say, Wen Xuan, why do you speculate that Liu Biao will definitely be ruthless to Sun Wentai?”
Speaking of this matter, it had to go back to two months ago.
Liu Bei and the others had just retreated from the alliance army in Luoyang and coincidentally met Sun Jian and his men on the way.
At that time, Qin Feng had an idea and said to Liu Bei that he had a good opportunity and wondered if Liu Bei would be interested.
Qin Feng had told Liu Bei that Sun Jian must have obtained the Heirloom Seal, and on his way back, Liu Biao from Jing State might ambush him on the water.
Qin Feng sent Liu Bei to inform Sun Jian of this news. It was a way to make Sun Jian owe him a favor.
It was not easy to owe someone a favor, especially when it was a life-saving favor.
Perhaps one day, Liu Bei would need Sun Jian's help.
Liu Bei had a good impression of Sun Jian.
In the entire battle against Dong, Sun Jian was the only team that had done their best.
If it weren't for Sun Jian's continuous fierce battles, would Dong Zhuo have fled back to Chang 'an in such a sorry state?
The answer was impossible.
Thus, after some thought, Liu Bei took the initiative to inform Sun Jian of Qin Feng's prediction and warned him to be careful of Liu Biao's sneak attack.
Sun Jian was initially a little disdainful and didn't believe Liu Bei's sudden explanation.
He did not believe that Liu Biao, who had always been as cowardly as a mouse, would dare to deal with him. Did he really think that Sun Laohu was given to him for nothing?
However, Sun Jian was still very grateful for Liu Bei's kind reminder.
What happened next was just as Qin Feng had predicted.
When Sun Jian took the boat to Liu Biao's territory, Liu Biao actually led his troops to ambush him by the river.
Although Sun Jian did not really believe Liu Bei's warning, he was not stupid. He was still a little more cautious.
He let the main group walk in front while he secretly took a small boat to follow.
As a result, although Sun Jian's army was ambushed, he himself managed to avoid the disaster.
After escaping this calamity, Sun Jian was grateful to Liu Bei, but he was also furious and led his army to attack Liu Biao.
How could Liu Biao be Sun Jian's opponent who had just experienced the alliance war? In just a few days, Sun Jian had conquered several cities.
In a panic, Liu Biao had no choice but to ask Yuan Shu to send troops to help him.
In the end, under the pressure of Yuan Shu's army, Sun Jian had no choice but to stop his attack.
This battle had shocked the entire southern region, and Sun Jian's reputation had soared.
Liu Biao, who had failed to steal a chicken but suffered a loss, became the biggest joke.
"This Sun Wentai is quite stingy. He only sent a thin letter to thank me and didn't say anything about money or food.”
Qin Feng smiled after reading Sun Jian's letter of thanks.
"Haha, Wen Xuan, you really don't despise it. A little money and food is nothing compared to the grace of saving our lives. Most importantly, Sun Wentai gave us a promise, saying that if we need help in the future, he will definitely do his best to help us once.”
Liu Bei smiled and said.
"Yes, indeed. Compared to a promise, a little money and food is indeed more precious.”
Qin Feng nodded.
Liu Bei continued," Wen Xuan is really brilliant in this matter. He was able to deduce that Liu Biao was going to ambush Sun Jian with just a few clues. Liu Bei is very impressed."”
When Qin Feng heard this, he smiled and didn't reply.
He couldn't answer this question. He wasn't smart at all. He was just acting like a god according to history.
After a while, Qin Feng said faintly," Sun Wentai isn't dead, so the Imperial Jade Seal is still in his hands. Outsiders still don't know, so they can only suspect.
This way, no one would dare to have any ideas about Sun Wentai, who was like the sun in the middle of the sky. As for how Sun Wentai would deal with this jade seal in the future, that would depend on his own wisdom.
If he handles it well, then so be it. But if he doesn't, then Sun Wentai will definitely face an even greater calamity of life and death. At that time, he won't be able to be saved by just a reminder from me.”
Qin Feng was very certain about this. In history, Yuan Shu took this broken jade seal and proclaimed himself emperor. He was immediately denounced by Cao Cao.
In the end, Yuan Shu, who clearly had a good hand in his hand, played himself too well and ended up with a tragic ending of suicide.
Liu Bei nodded." That's right. Let's see Sun Wentai's wisdom. We won't bother about it anyway."”
"Duke Xuande, the matter of the jade seal will be hastily resolved in a short period of time. Li Ru's plan will be ruined. There will be a short period of peace in this world. We must seize the time to develop our strength.”
Qin Feng handed a bamboo scroll to Liu Bei and said faintly.
