Three Kingdoms: Take care of Lady Gan on behalf of Liu Bei at the beginning

Chapter 17 Liu Wu wants to become the son-in-law of a noble family in Jingzhou
"Zihao, do you really have three businesses that are no less than soap? Do you have a method of refining steel that can create sharp weapons that are one level higher than those of the other princes?"

In the hall, everyone was stunned and silent for a moment because of Liu Wu's words, but Guan Yu soon reacted first and said to Liu Wu with excitement on his face.

The rest of the people also came to their senses and looked at Liu Wu in shock and excitement.

They know how popular soap is.

As long as there is enough food and drink at home, everyone will flock to it.
After all, who would dislike being cleaned of all the dirt and smelling good?
Before, they didn't know that soap could be produced on a large scale.

However, seeing that Liu Wu's shop was selling limited quantities of soap at high prices, they all thought that although this thing was profitable, the cost should also be terrifying.

However, no one doubts the money-making power of soap.

Now Liu Wu said that he still had three businesses that were more profitable than soap. How could they not be excited? After all, with more money and food, they could raise more troops. In this chaotic world, having an army would make them stronger.

Of course, compared to the three profitable businesses, what Liu Wu said about refining molten iron and creating sharper weapons made them even more excited.

After all, if the weapon is powerful, it is not just an improvement of one soldier or one pawn.

Rather, it is the increase in combat power of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, which is undoubtedly terrifying on the battlefield.

Seeing that everyone was very excited, Liu Wu smiled and nodded:
"That's right, Yunchang, everything Wu said is true. We have just occupied Nanyang County, and our power is not stable. Wu is willing to take out these things for Nanyang to gain a foothold in this chaotic world."

Liu Wu did not hesitate and threatened to take out these things to help Nanyang's development. It was not that Liu Wu was selfless. In fact, he, Liu Wu, was now the lord of Nanyang. Although his reputation might not be enough to make Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun take the lead, the accumulation of reputation was a step-by-step process. As long as he was the lord of Nanyang, these things would still be his. Saying that he was willing to contribute would win people's hearts.

Besides, it is up to Liu Wu to decide who should be given the management and operation of these things.

Sure enough, as Liu Wu said, "Wu is willing to take out these things for Nanyang to gain a foothold in this troubled times," Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others in the hall all looked at Liu Wu with admiration and relief.

There are three businesses that are as profitable as soap, and each one of them is undoubtedly enough to form the foundation of a family.

The new steelmaking method is used to create sharp weapons, which is even more valuable.

However, Liu Wu was willing to take it out.

This move really touched and shocked each of them.

"Good, good, Zihao's actions today are truly the actions of a real man. Guan Yu admires you." Guan Yu bowed to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu waved his hand, then smiled and looked at Xu Shu who was also looking at him, and said:
"In that case, Mr. Yuanzhi, do you think we can make Jingzhou Liu Biao and the Jingzhou noble families no longer reject or fear us? Communicate with us normally and reconsider our friendship?"

Liu Wu's words made everyone look at Xu Shu again.

Xu Shu took a deep breath, bowed to Liu Wu, and said:

"You are truly a man of extraordinary talent. If what you said is true, with sharp weapons as a guide, it will be enough to force Liu Biao not to act rashly. He can only establish friendly relations with us, because they are afraid that we will form an alliance with Jiangdong."

"Many aristocratic families in Jingzhou value profit. If we can earn a lot of money, they will certainly welcome us with food and drink and establish a deep friendship with us. Even if Liu Biao is the governor of Jingzhou, he will have a hard time saying anything."

"In this way, our Nanyang County can quickly absorb wealth and money from all sides to grow stronger."

"Nanyang County should stand firm in the troubled times and become a stronghold for those who are determined to revive the Han Dynasty!"

"Xu Shu thanks Master for being selfless!"

Xu Shu bowed deeply to Liu Wu, but his voice was quite excited and grateful.

Swish, brush, brush~
As soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Sun Qian and others stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Wu.

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Wu was delighted and hurried to help everyone up, saying:
"What are you doing? Wu is also a member of Nanyang. We are all one family. Why should we have to talk about different things?"

Everyone then sat back in their seats.

However, Liu Wu saw clearly that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at him with more respect and gratitude. "Sir, you just said that you want to form an alliance with a noble family in Jingzhou?" Xu Shu sat back and said that again.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Liu Wu with smiles and strange expressions.

They just heard what Liu Wu said.

Liu Wu said: "Marriage is also a good method. Therefore, I think we can let my cousin Liu Wu marry with the Jingzhou family to win over the Jingzhou family. What do you think?"

Undoubtedly, Liu Wu said this by taking on the role of Liu Bei.

However, when they thought about this sentence carefully, they felt that it was quite wonderful.

Liu Wu did exist and was indeed Liu Bei's cousin.

If they knocked down Jingzhou's fears, established a relationship, and let Liu Bei's cousin Liu Wu marry into the Jingzhou family, then later, when the Jingzhou family learned that their son-in-law was the lord of Nanyang, he would be the person they had to guard against.

I’m afraid, that would be really fun!

On the one hand, he is the family's son-in-law and can bring a lot of money.

On the one hand, there is that old man Liu Biao.

It must be difficult for the Jingzhou families to make a choice, right?
Obviously, in this way, they could easily break into Jingzhou.

Everyone is not stupid. Thinking of this, Guan Yu took the lead in stroking his beautiful beard and said with a smile:
"Yuanzhi, Zihao, I feel this strategy is very good. It's not about marrying into a noble family in Jingzhou, but about getting directly into the inner circle."

"If Zihao doesn't mind, shall we do this?"

Xu Shu also smiled and nodded.

Everyone looked at Liu Wu.

Liu Wu said to Guan Yu with a smile:

"For the sake of Nanyang, Wu is naturally willing to marry more wives and concubines. In this case, I would like to trouble Yuanzhi to personally select candidates for Wu."

Liu Wu said to Xu Shu.

In fact, Liu Wu’s marriage to the Jingzhou family was indeed for the sake of Nanyang, but of course it was also for his own benefit.

After all, if he became the son-in-law of a noble family in Jingzhou, he would be the undisputed lord of Jingzhou in the future, and he would have a large number of supporters instead of just the new wild faction such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as now.

Of course, in addition to these.

Liu Wu really wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could marry a historical beauty, because if there was another historical beauty, it would allow him to add more powerful special forces.

But at this point in time, are there any historical beauties in Jingzhou?
"Yes! I will definitely carefully select suitable women from the noble families of Jingzhou for you!"

Xu Shu bowed to Liu Wu.

Then, Xu Shu frowned and said:
"Although we can establish a relationship with him, this is all before Liu Biao is willing to look us in the face."

"So before that, we still need to have contact with Jiangdong, and we still need to show that the relationship is very close, so that Jiangdong will also try its best to win us over, so that Jingzhou Liu Biao and the aristocratic families will be frightened and uneasy!"

Xu Shu's words made everyone in the hall think, and then they nodded.

Liu Wu also nodded, took a deep breath and said:
"I understand. I will quickly create a batch of sharp weapons and establish a relationship with Jiangdong first."

"Young Master is wise!" Xu Shu smiled when he saw that Liu Wu understood it immediately.
