Even if you can't catch the other party's omissions, as long as you have the mouth and the ears to tell the story, it's still possible.

But the money and supplies are different.

After all, the school office can make things happen out of thin air, but it can't create money, food and materials out of thin air, right?

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the leader of the Xinghan Association.

Ma Di was originally from a wealthy family in Jingzhou, so his treatment of people was not bad.

Coupled with these years of experience, he can now be regarded as a clear-eyed person. At the moment, he was holding Lu Yi's hand affectionately:

"Yes, yes, I was too polite."

Lu Yi felt a few things being stuffed into his hand. He looked down slightly and saw that the exposed corner of the paper was very familiar. It was the unique paper of the banknotes.

Then I heard Ma Su say something meaningful:

"I'm not polite. Then, Schoolmaster Lu, don't be polite to us in the future."

It was a pun, and Lu Yi understood it.

He tucked the bills into his wide sleeves without leaving a trace.

But when Ma Su reached into his arms again, took out a few bills, and deliberately said loudly:

"We borrowed the treasure land and got the help of Principal Lu and the soldiers. It's just a small gift, but it's not respectful. We asked Principal Lu to use it to treat the soldiers to a meal of wine and meat."

This time, Lu Yi openly saw the number on the ticket: 100 pieces of fine wool.

Turn to the next page: Ten Jars of Mead.

Turn over another page: Ten pounds of brown sugar.

Lu Yi's eyes widened: These Shu people were so generous to his mother that they could actually give out such things to those dead soldiers!

He was greedy and ignorant, but Ma Di took it out in public, so he could only swallow his saliva and forcefully smile with some distress:

"Mr. Ma is really thoughtful. On behalf of my officers and men, I would like to thank you for your generous gift."

He subconsciously touched his cuffs and saw that the money he just took was a lot more. This time he wanted to do a favor, but he didn't expect to make a fortune.

Unable to part with the deal, Lu Yi simply made a favor and passed the news on to the defenders on the spot.

After learning about this, Sergeant Wu, who had been watching the joke from a distance, suddenly cheered.

Here in Jiangdong, money is not well known to most people, and it is only popular among the upper-class dignitaries who have caravans with Shu.

But these things like wool, brown sugar, etc., although these low-level soldiers are not qualified to see, they have been famous for a long time.

Even if what you get in the end is not these rare items, but converted into food or cloth, it is enough to make people excited.

Some who were impatient even ran to the waterside and began to give enthusiastic instructions to the students.

They have been guarding Jinkou for a long time, and even though they don't know how to command water battles, they are very familiar with boat matters.

With their help and guidance, the students went much smoother.

Before leaving, Lu Yi handed another talisman to Ma Su:

"Mr. Ma, although the army has now entered Chaohu Lake, there are still many patrol boats in the river."

"If you are questioned, just say that the school administration is inspecting the tax checkpoints under His Majesty's orders. As long as you don't stray into a military important area, you will be fine."

As the secretary in charge of the school affairs office, Lu Yi is far more informed than others.

His Majesty just received news from the front the day before yesterday, asking about the situation of the war horse trade between the school affairs office and the Shu people.

Although he didn’t know what was happening ahead, Lu Yi, who knew Sun Quan’s thoughts well, knew:

Your Majesty asked about this specifically, and most likely he wanted to get more war horses from the Shu people.

These people coming to Jiangdong are part of the Shu-Wu war horse trade agreement. It will never go wrong to put more effort into them.

"Don't worry, Principal Lu. I just plan to let them go around the river a few times to get familiar with how to operate the boat. Even if they get to the north bank, they will never get close to Chao Lake."

"Then I wish you all the best."

"Thank you."

"!"

…

On the second day, the two medium-sized warships of the Wu army guarding Jinkou came back carrying the young men of Shu, and some people greeted them warmly:

"came back?"

"came back."

"Oh, the water is floating so much that some people feel uncomfortable even after sleeping on the boat for one night."

"I'm afraid I've never spent the night on a boat before. I'll get used to it if I sleep a few more times in the future."

"Hahaha, isn't that why you brought them out this time?"

"Mr. Ma is right, he is right."

Everyone knew that these young gentlemen were guests invited by His Majesty, and they received many benefits. Instead of laughing at them, the defenders agreed with them.

"I will take them back to rest now and come back tomorrow. Please help me take care of these two boats."

"It should, it should!"

In this way, when Wu State was busy with the Northern Expedition, Ma Di led a group of students to practice on their own.

A few days passed.

"Mr. Ma is here again?"

"yes!"

"Come on, come and help me!"

"No, no, no, no need to bother the soldiers this time, just let them do it themselves."

Ma Su quickly stopped him.

"Oh, listen to Mr. Ma."

"I've already asked someone to bring some food and wine over, and I'll be here soon. Come on, come on, we'll go pick them up."

Ma Su took the general of Wu army and left.

"Food and drinks?"

The general swallowed.

As a low-level officer, he didn't have many opportunities to eat meat, let alone drink.

He glanced at the young men with some hesitation, "Is this okay?"

"Why not? Schoolmaster Lu has told me a long time ago that this is just a small port, and there is nothing going on on weekdays, so we are allowed to come here to practice boating."

Ma Su said nonchalantly, "Besides, there are only two boats. No matter how you look at them, you can't see any flowers. Come on, let me invite you all in the army to have a drink."

Officer Wu Jun thought for a while and realized that this was true.

"Then sir, won't you follow us on board?"

"Just let them go to the river alone and have a look, and I will follow them all the time. What kind of experience is that?"

"Yes, please sir first."

"Okay, let's go!"

Knowing that the Shu people had actually invited people to bring food and wine this time, the two hundred soldiers stationed at Jinkou cheered.

Seeing that Wu Jun didn't even notice this, the temporary captain Luo Xian shouted to Fu Qian on the other boat:

"Are you ready?"

"Not yet, wait a moment."

Fu Qian replied in his mouth, but something he was holding in his hand became unstable and fell into the water.

"Oh, that's too bad!"

As he spoke, he took off his robe and jumped directly into the water.

The students on the same boat were also in a panic, and two others also jumped into the water.

After a while, the three people finally surfaced, and the people on the boat hurriedly pulled them up.

After this little accident, Fu Qian finally shouted:

"Okay, let's sail!"

The two warships began to row slowly toward the river.

Other than this little accident, it looked the same as the previous times.

No one knows that a foot below the water, invisible to the naked eye, there is a specially treated tough thin line, one end of which is tied to a nailed underwater wooden stake.
