Chapter 40 Game
"My lord, I have already made a budget for next year's taxes. You can take a look. These projects can drive the development of Yuyang. If these budgets are cut off, Yuyang will not be able to develop." Li Bai said A budget statement was handed over to Xun You.

Xun You took the report and read it carefully.

"I think this, this, and this...these are a waste of money and should be cut off. Now that the court is so short of money, it can't be wasted casually." Xun You said, pointing to some budgets.

"These are all necessary." Li Bai naturally disagreed, so he argued.

"I don't think it's necessary. Look here. You're planning to build a cement road in every town in Yuyang. The cement is so expensive that it will cost tens of millions of dollars. Isn't this a waste?"

"My lord, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. I'm investing now, and I can get back the money for road construction in a few years." Li Bai continued to argue.

"Nonsense, look at this again. You are planning to build ten academies in Youzhou, which will cost tens of millions of dollars every year. Remember, you are just the governor of Yuyang County, not the governor of Youzhou. Isn't this nonsense? "

"My lord, every workshop needs workers who can write and count. Many jobs can only be done by educated people, and illiterates can't do it well." Li Bai said, "As Yuyang continues to develop, the number of people needed will only increase. Many, so now I have to train a large number of students who can write and read in advance."

"I won't talk about this, but what about this one? You want to build three ships, each costing 3000 million yuan. Why is the ship so expensive? Do you think I'm easy to fool?" Xun You was a little angry.

"My lord, this is not a small boat. This is a big boat that can sail day and night in the sea."

Li Bai quickly explained: "This kind of boat is 21 feet long (about 50 meters in the Han Dynasty) and six feet wide. It is not a small boat."

"So big? Why did you build such a big boat?" Xun Yu asked immediately when he heard Li Bai's words.

"Because such a large ship can carry more cargo, one ship can hold ten other ships." Li Bai said.

Hearing Li Bai's words, Xun You frowned and said, "Even if it's such a big ship, it doesn't need 3000 million yuan, right?"

"My lord, this is a big ship that can sail in the sea, not an ordinary ship." Li Bai reminded.

"Large ships can also sail in the sea..."

"My lord, this kind of boat can sail in the deep sea, even if it encounters a storm, but the big boat can only walk along the coastline, there is no way to compare with this kind of boat."

Li Bai said: "With this kind of ship, we can go to further overseas trade..."

"Even if that's the case, that won't work. It's too wasteful of money. The construction must be stopped." Xun You directly denied Li Bai's words.

"My lord, I am the prefect of Yuyang, and I must be responsible for the development of Yuyang. If you think I can't do a good job as prefect, you can ask the court to remove my post and replace me with someone else." Li Bai has the best temper , At this time, he was also on fire.

These are all the policies formulated by his master Zhang Qingfeng, so what's the matter now that this Xun You has rejected them all the time?

"Are you serious?" Hearing Li Bai's words, Xun You's expression became serious.

"My lord, if you want to stop the development of Yuyang County, then what's the point of me being the prefect?" Li Bai said with a cock in his neck.

If Yuyang was really levied so much tax money by Xun You, it wouldn't be interesting for him to be the prefect of Yuyang.

"Do you think that I dare not dismiss you as the prefect?" Xun You's face was very ugly.

"Anyway, if you want to collect so much tax, I won't be the prefect of Yuyang. If you want to make weapons and armor, please find someone else." Li Bai didn't give in at all.

Hearing Li Bai's words, Xun You's face was very ugly, but he did not impulsively remove Li Bai from his position because he did not have the right yet.

In addition, Li Bai has developed Yuyang so well, and his political achievements are visible to everyone. If he dismisses Li Bai rashly, I am afraid his reputation will be lost.

And he also asked Li Bai to help build weapons and armor, which made him unable to touch the other party for the time being.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun You said to Li Bai seriously: "I don't care what you do, but you have to pay the [-] million yuan per year, right?"

Xun You was about to find a step down.

Hearing Xun You's words, Li Bai thought about it, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay."

"Okay, then it's settled, you go back first." Xun You waved to Li Bai.

"Then I will take my leave." Li Bai cupped his hands and left.

After Li Bai left, Xun You's face was uncertain. Since he followed Cao Cao, no subordinate had dared to fight him like this. He considered whether to wait for Li Bai to finish the weapons and armor, and then find an opportunity to avoid it. His position, or transfer him and finally send his own people to take over Yuyang.

But it's not in a hurry now, we'll talk about it later.

After Li Bai left, Xun You felt a little depressed, so he thought about going out for a walk.

"My lord, my lord, I found a good thing."

As soon as Xun You walked out of the gate, one of his subordinates came in a hurry, and at the same time he was holding a horse in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Xun You asked the subordinate.

"My lord, look at the horse's feet." The subordinate excitedly said to Xun You, and he reached out to scoop up the horse's front feet while talking.

"what?"

Hearing what the subordinate said, he took a closer look, and Xun You suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Is this iron?"

"Yes, my lord, this is the iron horseshoe. It is said that it can protect the horse's hoof from being injured no matter how far it runs." The subordinate explained.

"good stuff."

Hearing this subordinate's explanation, Xun You immediately understood the benefits of the horseshoe.

"Where did your horseshoe come from?" Xun You asked.

"In fact, many horses here in Youzhou have horseshoes, but we didn't notice it when we came here. I only found out today that these horseshoes are all bought in iron workshops, and it costs about 200 yuan to nail a pair of horseshoes. " said the subordinate.

"I see." Xun You nodded, and then told a person beside him, "Go and tell me Taishou Li, and tell me that I want [-] horseshoes, and let him prepare them within half a year." "

A few days later, Xun You and his group left Youzhou. There were still so many things to deal with in Yecheng, and Xun You couldn't stay in Yuyang any longer.

But because Zhang Qingfeng was building ships at Quanzhou Shipyard, he didn't meet Xun You.

…………

At this moment, Zhang Qingfeng didn't know that Xun You had already come to Yuyang, and he was being pestered by a woman.

"Sir, are you tired today? I have already prepared meals, and I can eat them right away." Cai Wenji said to Zhang Qingfeng.

Yes, it was Cai Wenji who was pestering Zhang Qingfeng.

Cai Wenji and Liu Rushi lived in Erdaogou Village in the Taihang Mountains for a year, and after the year, they returned to Yuyang County again.

Later, Liu Rushi was dragged by Li Shishi to the college to teach students, and Cai Wenji also taught poetry, calligraphy and other courses for half a year.

During this period, Cai Wenji knew that Zhang Qingfeng was a learned man, so she often asked Zhang Qingfeng for advice.

Cai Wenji is very famous in history, mainly because she is the daughter of Cai Yong, and has a deep relationship with many historical figures such as Cao Cao.

Cai Wenji herself is outstanding in learning, and is proficient in rhythm, poetry, Fu and calligraphy. She is a famous talented woman.

However, her talent and learning suffered a devastating blow when she met Zhang Qingfeng, the soul from after 2000.

When Zhang Qingfeng asked Cai Wenji about literature, in order to show off in front of Cai Wenji, a historical figure, he didn't hide his clumsiness, and put on a few tough moves in front of the other party.

For example, he wrote a poem:

When will the moon be? Ask the wine to Qingtian.

I don’t know what the palace is, but what year is it.

I want to return by wind, and I fear Qionglou Yuyu, the heights are too cold.

Dancing clear shadow, like in the world?
Turn Zhuge, low tenants, and sleepless.

There should be no hatred, why is it going to other times?

People have sorrows and sorrows and joys, and moons have yin and qing, which is difficult to complete.

Nung, moon and new moon.

…………

When this poem was written by Zhang Qingfeng, he could almost clearly see the look in Cai Wenji's eyes when he was looking at him.

In the end, Zhang Qingfeng was pestered by Cai Wenji.

In order to get rid of Cai Wenji's entanglement, Zhang Qingfeng even ran to Quanzhou Shipyard, but he didn't expect that the other party followed him immediately, which made him very helpless.
