The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Well, we in Yangzhou are responsible for the transportation, but the price will be raised a bit." Liu Ke said.

This small matter will not trouble the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"That's really great!" Ma Dai said excitedly. Although Xiliang is remote, there are a lot of specialties, and Ma Teng has also accumulated some wealth.

"This is a token. As long as I get to Xiliang, my elder brother will know what to do after seeing it." Ma Dai left a jade pendant.

So generous?What if Ma Chao attacks Chang'an with the jade pendant?

Liu Ke gave up after thinking about it.

Ma Dai pretended to be careless, but in fact he was very shrewd, and would definitely send someone to notify Ma Chao in advance of receiving the weapons and equipment.

After eating and drinking enough, Ma Dai led his troops and left.

Although the solicitation was unsuccessful this time, a bond was established.

For Ma Chao, Liu Ke has been fascinated for a long time, this is a rare general.

Of course, Ma Dai is not bad either.

"My lord, why did you let this kid go so easily?" Dian Wei asked puzzled, at worst, tied him up first.

"Attracting Ma Dai is just one of them. What the Lord really wants to deal with is Cao Cao." Xu Shu explained.

That's right, Liu Ke didn't refute.

Ma Teng made a foolish move, and Liu Ke had no choice but to make up for Xiliang's shortcomings.

Chapter 370 Four Kong Rong's Determination

Liu Ke left Qingzhou, Kong Rong felt empty, and once again went to the court to make Liu Ke the governor of Qingzhou.

Cao Cao was so annoyed that he directly rejected the matter without a doubt.

Kong Rong's memorial was rejected, but he was not discouraged, and went directly to Yangzhou to visit Liu Ke in person.

Liu Ke is sorry to see you.

"Marquis Dongyang, the people of Qingzhou are looking forward to you, please be sure to take over as governor of Qingzhou."

"Let's discuss this matter again." Liu Ke said, asking Cai Yong to treat Kong Rong well.

Liu Ke returned home and mentioned the matter.

"Husband, this is a good thing, why not accept it?" Zhao Yu said.

Liu Ke recounted Xu Shu's analysis, which also dispelled Zhao Yu's thoughts.

The larger the territory, the greater the responsibility.

It also costs a lot.

"Yuan Zhi is a little villain, if he didn't take out Xuzhou's plan, would Kong Rong be able to hang on to it?" Zhao Yu complained.

"Kong Rong is not a good guy either, he is just greedy for Yangzhou's money." Cao Zhen said.

The topic was about to turn a corner, Liu Ke was helpless.

"Kong Shishi is different. Seeking welfare for the common people is not wrong." Cai Yan said.

That being said, there is indeed some truth to it.Kong Rong handed over all the military and political affairs, and he didn't just get subsidies.

"Yangzhou can develop because of my husband's hard work, how can I use my hard work to subsidize everywhere?" Cao Zhen found another direction to refute.

In short, Kong Rong is not to be seen.

However, this incident was just the opposite. After Kong Rong came to Yangzhou, he was welcomed by everyone, and people kept visiting him.

Because Kong Rong is not only the governor of a state, but also a master of literature.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the other schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the status of the Confucian family has risen.

Who made them descendants of Confucius?

Kong Rong enjoyed the treatment of the stars and the moon, and stayed in Yangzhou for half a month.

In the past half a month, Kong Rong did not lose his heart, and begged Liu Ke again and again, hoping that he could take over as governor of Qingzhou.

After everyone learned about it, they all spoke for Kong Rong, and even Cai Yong changed his position and said to Liu Ke:

"My son-in-law, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is a good thing for the people of Qingzhou that you take over as the governor of Qingzhou. For the people of Yangzhou, it is also glorious. Because you are the one who led them to become rich! "

Cai Yong must have done his homework. It is really not easy for a master of Confucianism to say such a thing.

In order to persuade Liu Ke, Cai Yong has already gone all out.

This is also what makes Liu Ke depressed. The money doesn't come from the wind, it has to be taken step by step, and the food is eaten bite by bite.

"If my father-in-law can raise [-] million gold to develop Qingzhou, I will agree to it." Liu Ke said, the leeks from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce were just harvested last time, and they haven't grown well yet.

Xuzhou's investment has not returned, how could it be possible to force them to bleed again?

"Being the governor of Qingzhou has nothing to do with money. At the beginning, I was more opposed to the development of business... People are not old." Cai Yong sighed.

Liu Ke didn't intend to let go, so Cai Yong had no choice but to go back.

Kong Rong, who was waiting anxiously in Cai's mansion, was overjoyed to see Cai Yong's return.
