The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

However, this proposal was rejected by Liu Ke.

Dongyang already has a large-scale cultivation base of medicinal materials. Common medicinal materials, such as those used to treat colds and fevers, are available. Liu Ke does not plan to increase their prices.

"As for other expenses, I won't list them one by one. All you need to know is that for the construction of Xuzhou, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce invested [-] million gold, which has already been spent." Xu Shu said.

"..." Lu Bu.

Not only Lu Bu, but also Xu Chu was speechless.

It is well known that Liu Ke spends money like water.Therefore, the cabinet has rarely proposed to cancel the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Without the Chamber of Commerce, the government will definitely be poor.

Jiaozhou was the first to join Liu Ke's ruling system. Due to various reasons, it still needs financial subsidies from Yangzhou, otherwise, the entire Jiaozhou would be paralyzed.

With medical care and education, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have hope. If it is abolished, it will definitely arouse public anger.

So far, Jiaozhou and Xuzhou are spending Yangzhou's money.

This has created a phenomenon that the status of Yangzhou officials is higher than that of the two states.

Now the people have not realized that Yangzhou's tax revenue is being exported.

If there is another Qingzhou, it will be hard to say.Everyone can see the poverty in Qingzhou. If they want to develop to the level of Xuzhou, there is absolutely no hope without [-] million.

"How about it, have you figured it out?" Xu Shu said.

After Xu Shu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

But Lu Bu didn't give up, insisting: "Can't we win Qingzhou and not develop it for a while? Even without the help of Yangzhou, the lives of the people in Qingzhou will be better than now."

"It makes sense, but once the people of Qingzhou feel that there is no hope, and Yangzhou is extremely rich, what will they do? At that time, many social problems will occur." Liu Ke said.

Accepting Qingzhou now is more trouble than gain.

The main reason is that Yangzhou is still too "poor" to support so many younger brothers.

"Let's discuss this matter again. Yuan Zhi went to explain it clearly to the governor of Kong Cishi." Liu Ke said.

Xu Shu took the task and set off.

Kong Rong happily received Xu Shu. He thought there would be a good result, but he was rejected unexpectedly.

"Inspector Kong, the matter is very important, you should think about it again," Xu Shu said.

This is already a polite refusal.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Kong Rong asked modestly.

"For a long time, Kong Shishi has devoted himself to the people, and he has become the pillar of the people of Qingzhou." Xu Shu said.

"I did this voluntarily, and no one forced me to do it! I will explain it clearly to the people," Kong Rong said.

Xu Shu didn't know how to explain it, so he took out the Xuzhou development plan and said, "This is the reason for my lord's refusal, and Governor Kong can figure it out by himself." After speaking, Xu Shu left.

Is there anything I can't say clearly?

Kong Rong curiously picked up the proposal, opened it, and took a deep breath.

Yangzhou is too rich, right?

It seems that in the future, Kong Rong thought he was smart, but he didn't know why, so he asked Wang Zifa to advise him.

After Wang Zifa read it, he had no way to evaluate Liu Ke's wealth, so he said dully: "My lord, it seems that Dongyang Hou has made up his mind."

"How do you say that?" Kong Rong asked eagerly.

"The Marquis of Dongyang has invested so much money in developing Xuzhou, so how much will it cost to develop the poorer Qingzhou?" Wang Zifa explained.

Kong Rong understood in an instant, and said: "In this way, didn't we do nothing wrong? For the sake of the people of Qingzhou, we must give up the position of governor to the Marquis of Dongyang!"

At this time, Wang Zifa didn't even object, he was already deeply impressed by Liu Ke.

After all, in the eyes of any prince, Qingzhou means the growth of strength, and the people of Qingzhou can work hard for it. Cao Cao is like this, and Qingzhou soldiers are the best illustration.

But Dongyang Hou is different, accepting Qingzhou means responsibility.Not only to protect the people of Qingzhou, but also to let the people of Qingzhou eat and drink well.

High judgment.

"My lord, I'm afraid the Marquis of Dongyang may not accept it." Wang Zifa sighed.

"Dongyang Hou Zicheng's mentality is not good, let me talk to him, things will turn around." Kong Rong said.

If you don't make your own family, do you want to seize the world?

With Dongyanghou's strength, it is easy to seize the world.

Chapter 370 Three Recruitment of Ma Dai

Something happened in Qingzhou, Liu Ke was ready to go back.

But a battle report made him stay, that is, Ma Dai captured another group of Japanese, and the suppression work went very smoothly.

The combat power of the Qingzhou soldiers is definitely not as good as that of the Yangzhou army, but they are very familiar with Qingzhou and know which hills are easy to hide.

Relying on this understanding, they were able to encircle and suppress the Japanese with ease, and they made a big splash.

Ma Dai's thousands of Qingzhou soldiers did not fare much better than Lu Bu.

Xu Shu also saw Liu Ke's love for talents, and said, "My lord, this matter may not be easy."
