Chapter 1392 Opportunity to Turn Things Around
Willie Tuttle did not feel much embarrassment at the curious glances cast by people on the street.
Because in his eyes, everything in Liangzhou City is unknown.
He is more curious about Liangzhou City than the people of Liangzhou City are about him.
"Al, the city of Wei Dynasty has a larger population than the city of our Kushan Empire, and it looks even more prosperous!"
After just walking on the street with the old butler for a quarter of an hour, Willy Tutour couldn't help but said to the old butler Al.
Although the Kushan Empire regained new vitality under the leadership of Vesuthiva I, neither the number of people nor the prosperity of the city was as powerful as that of the Wei Dynasty.
That's why Willy Tutour sighed to the old butler Al after seeing the scene in Liangzhou City.
However, the prosperity of Liangzhou City in the Wei Dynasty did not even rank among the top five.
The old butler Al nodded and said:
"Master, you are right. When the master and I came to Liangzhou to do business, the entire city of Liangzhou was not half as big as it is now."
"After the unification of the Wei Dynasty, the development speed is much faster than that of our Kushan Empire."
"It has only been more than ten years, and the Kushan Empire has already been left far behind."
Al, the old butler, was deeply touched by the changes in Liangzhou City.
He still remembered that in Liangzhou City more than ten years ago, there were not as many shops on the streets as there are now, and the people seemed to be living a very difficult life.
If it weren't for the map in Willie Tuttle's hand and his memories of the past and present, the old butler Al would have thought he had arrived in another city.
"Al, there seems to be a place selling food over there. Let's go and take a look!"
Willy Tutour listened to the old butler's words while looking at the shops on the street.
As a businessman, Willy Tutour is naturally interested in the shops in Liangzhou City.
Until a scent wafted into Willy Tutour's side.
Hearing this, the old butler Al and Willy Tutour came to this shop selling snacks.
After a while, both Willy Tutour and the old butler Al left the snack shop looking satisfied.
“Al, if I had known that Dawei’s food was so delicious, we should have come to Dawei to do business earlier!”
Willy Tutour, who was directly conquered by the snacks in Liangzhou City, said to the old butler Al while recalling the snacks he had just tasted.
The old butler Al also smiled after hearing this.
After Old Willy went to Dawei for business, he was also full of praise for Dawei's food.
Then the two of them continued to experience the beautiful scenery and delicious food of Liangzhou City in the city.
It wasn't until the sunset that Willie Tuttle and the old butler Al returned to the inn to rest.
at the same time.
Cao Jie also completed the construction of the soap workshop and steam engine workshop in Yongzhou.
At this time, Cao Jie was preparing to go from Yongzhou to Liangzhou.
Today's Liangzhou Mu is Ma Chao.
Because of Bai Feng's arrival, Ma Chao no longer had the chance to have second thoughts, so he is still living well.
In order to stabilize Liangzhou, Cao Cao appointed Ma Chao as the shepherd of Liangzhou after Ma Teng passed away.
After Ma Chao learned that Cao Jie was coming to Liangzhou, he had already prepared a banquet for Cao Jie.
Similarly, the nobles in Liangzhou were also looking forward to Cao Jie's arrival.
When Cao Jie arrived in Liangzhou, Ma Chao and a group of Liangzhou nobles came directly to the city gate to greet him.
The main reason why they put up such a big battle was that Ma Chao felt guilty.
Because before, he and the Liangzhou nobles chose to invest in Youzhou's soap workshop for immediate benefits.
After Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, resigned and returned home because of this incident, Ma Chao was a little afraid that Bai Feng would also be dissatisfied with the nobles in Liangzhou.
Although Bai Feng did not express dissatisfaction with the nobles except Youzhou, Yongzhou, which like Liangzhou invested in the Youzhou Soap Factory, also built a soap factory and a steam engine workshop normally.
However, Ma Chao still learned that Cao Jie had a bad attitude towards the nobles in Yongzhou, and their dividends would be 10% less than those in other states and counties in the first year.
Therefore, in order for Cao Jie not to reduce his and the Liangzhou nobles' profits, Ma Chaozhou lowered his profile.
Make money, don’t be greedy!
When Cao Jie entered the city, the scene where Ma Chao led the Liangzhou nobles to greet him was witnessed by Willy Tutour and the old butler Al.
"Al, do you recognize any of them?"
Willy Tutour, who was sitting in a teahouse not far from the city gate and taking a tea break, asked the old butler Al.
Fortunately, the old butler Al had good eyesight and could distinguish the faces of everyone at the city gate.
However, after careful identification, the old butler Al did not recognize any of them.
"Young Master, these officials or nobles in the city should no longer be the same people that the Master and I came here for."
Then the old butler Al whispered to Willie Tuttle.
Willy Tutour couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this.
If he can take this opportunity to establish relationships with officials or nobles, his living situation in Liangzhou will be much improved.
Although Willy Tutour had never heard of the idiom "sitting on the mountain and having nothing on the mountain", he knew very well that the wealth he brought from the Kushan Empire could not guarantee that he would always live a prosperous life in the Wei Dynasty.
"Even if Al doesn't know any of them, if he wants to live a good life in Wei, he must deal with their officials and nobles."
Willie Tatul had an idea in his mind at this time.
At the city gate, Cao Jie got off the carriage, smiled at Ma Chao and a group of Liangzhou nobles who came to greet him, and then said:
"The enthusiasm of the governor and you is really surprising."
"Hahaha, it's right for us to welcome Her Royal Highness here, hahaha!"
Ma Chao smiled at Cao Jie after hearing this.
"Princess, please come into the city quickly, the banquet for you is ready."
Then Ma Chao invited Cao Jie to the city for the banquet.
When Cao Jie, Ma Chao and the Liangzhou nobles passed by, Willy Tatul, who was at the window of the teahouse, remembered the faces of Cao Jie and Ma Chao beside him.
After Willy Tatul came to Liangzhou, he still wanted to live a rich life like he had in the Kushan Empire before.
He even wanted to return to the Kushan Empire and avenge his father and relatives who died at the hands of Vasudeva I.
This was also the idea that came into Willy Tatul's mind after he saw the prosperity of Liangzhou City and deduced the strength of Wei.
