Chapter 7 Zhou Yu's Thoughts

"I, Lu Meng... I am not as good as others' skills, so I'm willing to give in!" Lu Meng was very aggrieved, but he was not allowed to admit defeat, so he turned around and apologized to Zhou Yu. Wu Yong performed a Sun Quan courtesy and shouted, "I swear to be loyal to my Lord Sun Quan!" Then he walked straight back to the queue.

"Zi Ming, get up. There are victories and defeats in martial arts competitions. Victories and defeats are common in military affairs. Besides, Zi Ming is a wise general, and his martial arts skills are not the main strength of Zi Ming." Zhou Yu first comforted Lu Meng, then turned to Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, wouldn't you invite me, an uninvited guest to have a drink?"

"How dare you, Gongjin, please invite someone from the room to serve the banquet!" Lu Su immediately arranged for the servants.

The guest and host sat down, Lu Su raised his glass, clinked a glass with Zhou Yu, and said, "Gongjin, you are well-informed. I just came back from the martial arts hall, and you were waiting for me at home. You are not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but what advice do you have?"

"Zijing, look at what you said, we are friends and confidants. When I went to borrow food from you, you lent me two thousand bonbons without saying a word. I'll see you, don't you have to have any purpose?" Zhou Yu quipped.

"Gongjin, I borrowed you food because I knew you were a loyal and righteous man. At the same time, I could tell at a glance that you could achieve great things. Such investment would never be a loss." Lu Su also started to fight.

"Zi Jing, look at your lord. We haven't had a good chat since we introduced you to your lord. Since you can see me at a glance, you will give me two thousand harbors of food. Did Zi Jing see my lord?" Zhou Yu finally expressed his purpose.

"Gongjin, do you want to hear me tell the truth?"

"No, if you don't listen to the truth, why do I come to you for anything? Why would you rather listen to my Xiao Qiao playing the pipa at home?"

"What does Gongjin think of his lord?"

"Zijing is going to test me first." Zhou Yu drank a drink and said, "When Bo Fu was there, he saw that his lord was only smart and far-sighted, but since his lord took over Jiangdong, he felt more and more unfathomable!"

"Gongjin, don't be a puzzle between you and me. With the lord's trust in you and the relationship between us, what else can't be said between us?"

"Okay, then let's talk openly." Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "The lord has great ambitions, means and a broad mind, and the skills of using people and power are becoming more and more powerful."

"But, Gongjin, don't talk a little. Just drink a glass of wine!" Lu Su said.

"Okay, you respect me!" Zhou Yu drank a drink: "But the lord set up this Jiangdong martial arts hall and indicated that he wanted to train his own personal army, without the need for us to be the old general. He said that the lord was eager to control his own strength, and was a little too anxious. Of course, I only know a little about these troops. I heard that at least the discipline is good."

"Gongjin, you saw me staying in the martial arts hall for half a month, so come and find out the details. You are so unkind."

"Zijing, although I want to know the situation of the martial arts lecture hall, it is because the lord told us not to care about Shanyue anymore. He said that he will lead you and Ziyu to lead the new army of the martial arts lecture hall to conquer Shanyue. I am always uneasy."

"Gongjin, as you said, when I see you have a similar loyalty, I can give you two thousand tangories of food. When I see my lord, I swear to be loyal to you and wish to follow you to the death. Therefore, since the lord didn't tell you, I don't have to say much. The lord told me in the morning that there is a tacit understanding between Gongjin and his lord, and that his lord's loyalty to Gongjin is absolutely trusting. As for conquering Shanyue, I have a hundred times confidence in my lord. I hope that Gongjin can trust his lord and Lusu."

"Zijing, okay, since the lord has already convinced you, then when you go to Shanyue, your lord's safety will be handed over to you. You know, Bo Fu is my brother, and the lord is like my younger brother. Regardless of whether Shanyue is conquered or not, the lord's safety is the first priority. Bo Fu's insight is not far away."

"Gongjin, you have also seen the power of your lord's guards. You can rest assured of this. Moreover, your lord is also the son of a daughter. If he wants to act alone, I, Lu Su, will definitely give my best advice."

"Okay, I'll feel relieved if I have Zi Jing's words. I'll respect you, and I'll congratulate you on your triumphant return." Zhou Yu raised his glass and said.

"Gongjin, do it!" Lu Su drank it all: "Gongjin, I don't know what your ambition is now? I remember you wanted to make achievements and make a career."

"Haha, now I just want to defend Jiangdong and protect the country and the people."

"Gongjin, are you already old? If there is chaos today and the princes are everywhere, don't you want to return peace to the world?" Lu Su said excitedly on purpose.

"Zi Jing, what you mean..." Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su, paused and said, "Zi Jing, as you said, I, Zhou Yu, dare not fall behind! Listening to Zi Jing's words, I comforted me very much, come and drink!"

"Gongjin, come on, do it!" Lu Su was also very excited: "Gongjin, my lord once said four sentences to me: 'Build your heart for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the people, carry forward your unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to all ages!" After hearing this, I realized that the lord's ambitions are great, and I am trusted by the lord, and I can understand some of my lord's plans and ideas. I am full of confidence in the future of Jiangdong."

"Zijing, you have to thank me. If I hadn't asked you to borrow food, you would probably be a small landlord at home now, so how could you be as passionate as you are now?"

"Gongjin, this is wrong. You have to remember to repay me for the grain you borrowed from me. I need money and grain to pacify Shanyue now, but I can't measure it. Although the lord said that he has prepared some, the more it is better."

"Zijing, if you want to talk about money and food, you really don't have to worry. Since the lord took over Jiangdong, many new restaurants, brothels, gambling halls, etc. have appeared on the ground of Jiangdong and even in Jingzhou. You should have been there too, right?"

"I've been to those restaurants, and the service and menu are unheard of."

"That's just a restaurant. The ones that make money are brothels and gambling halls. Brothels are much more colorful than those brothels in the past. Everything inside is very expensive. Just the largest Xiaoyao Villa in Wujun, which combines the business of brothels and gambling halls. It's so comfortable to go in. We don't know how many rich children from Jiangdong spend thousands of gold a day. Now at least half of the wealth of the Jiangdong clan has been taken away by Xiaoyao Villa."

"What Gongjin means is this Xiaoyao Villa secretly controlled by the lord?"

"No, Zijing, you underestimate your lord too much. All the new restaurants in Jiangdong and even Jingzhou are all. Now, some of the small families in Jiangdong have almost gone bankrupt. The lord has added another business, called a money shop, and lends to those small families. Moreover, this money shop has recently expanded to the entire Jiangdong. Many people in Jiangdong have borrowed money from money shops, borrow money to mortgage their own industries, and if they can't pay it back, they can pay off their debts. Maybe it won't take long to go Jiangdong's wealth. Therefore, the lord should not be short of money. Recently, it has purchased a lot of grain from Jingzhou, and conquering the mountain is enough."

"Gongjin, although that's what he said, this conquest of Shanyue is different from the previous wars. The more money and food, the better. The lord's plan is too grand, and the demand for money and food is much greater."

"Don't worry, Zijing, I think the lord should have plans. If it doesn't work, I will have my thundering methods. I also want to find those people to pay for their blood debts!"

...

While Lu Su was drinking with Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin began to write letters to his second and third brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Liang, hoping that they would come to Jiangdong to live so that they could better contact Jiangdong or join Jiangdong, and also gain a bright future for the Zhuge family. Although his family did not want to put all the eggs in the same basket, Zhuge Jin is now loyal and confident enough to Jiangdong. His family moved from the north to the south, and his foundation was unstable. He could be favored by Sun Quan and held this thigh. Zhuge Jin felt lucky enough.

After finishing the government affairs, Sun Quan went to treat his mother to her mother, stayed with his younger brothers and sisters for a while, then after dinner and exercised for a while, he washed and rested.

The next day, Sun Quan went to the martial arts lecture hall again and found the craftsmen who studied iron smelting. He ordered them to go to the army to go on a war, and along the way to find the mineral resources in his memory. Once the gold, silver, copper and iron were refined in large quantities, he would have the confidence to conquer the world. Then he went to the logistics department of the special forces and spy training, and asked Yang Ping to arrange the intelligence work of Shanyue, and then let all the special forces enter Yuzhang to stand by, preparing to start sweeping all Shanyue from Yuzhang. After making these arrangements, Sun Quan officially said goodbye to his mother.

"Mother, in order to stabilize my Jiangdong foundation, my son is preparing to take charge of the leadership to quell the rebellion in Shanyue this time. My mother is worried at home. My son cannot wait for the greetings every day, and I also ask my mother to take care of her health." Sun Quan kowtowed to the grandmother.

"Son, be careful when you go here. Be sure to take care of your body and ensure safety. Don't be as brave as your elder brother. You should bring more followers. You are in the safety of Jiangdong."

"My son follows his mother's teachings and will definitely be able to win triumphantly as soon as possible. Military and government affairs have been arranged for Gongjin and his teacher to be temporarily dealt with, but his son's current daughter-in-law Xie is in poor health and cannot share the backyard things for his mother, so he can only work hard for his mother."

"When it comes to your wife Xie, you are planning to find a few more rooms. You are the lord of Jiangdong now, and offspring are also very important, or your mother will find a few for you."

"Mother, my son knows this. It's a good time to wait until the situation stabilizes. It's a bit too early now."

"Well, your sister-in-law is now keeping your elder brother. What do you think and how do you plan to arrange her?"

"Mother, my nephew is still young and needs to study and grow up well. It's best to stay in the mansion. My sister-in-law is now in a deep relationship with her elder brother. When the three-year period expires, she will be taken back to the mansion to live."

"It's so good. As long as you don't make things difficult for her because of her identity, my mother will be very happy."

"Mom, don't worry, Zhongmou still has this vision."

"I believe my son, my son is the one who cares about the world."
