After the thrilling trip to Soochow, the commercial passage from Jingzhou to Jiangdong was opened up again.

This is the first large-scale trade since Sun Jian's death and the cracking of the two families.

Sun Quan also surprised everyone's expectations, not only did not stop the business between the two families.

On the contrary, they vigorously supported it, and when several major families in Jiangdong transported the goods back, they would even send heavy troops to protect them.

It's just that most people know it in their hearts. In fact, behind all this, Sun Quan is in control.

Sun Quan thought very clearly, since Xu Tian took great pains to open up the market in Jiangdong. Then let him come.

However, all the cane sugar, dried fish and other goods exported by Jingzhou monopolized it.

Since it's all about making money, why not take it into your own hands!

However, the price paid was heavy, and Xu Tian took advantage of the Dongwu incident to make a big fuss and raise prices to an incredible height.

Moreover, it is clearly stipulated that the sucrose produced will be given priority to local merchants in Jingzhou.

Not only that, the people of Jingzhou bought 100 yuan of cane sugar for 1 tael, and exported Soochow for 800 yuan per tael.

The price is eight times higher, making every merchant from Soochow wail.

But even so, the demand for cane sugar is in short supply.

Moreover, under Xu Tian's special arrangement, the output of sucrose has been controlled within a certain amount.

It has always been in short supply, making these foreign merchants indignant, but there is nothing they can do.

With the movement of commodities such as cane sugar and dried fish, the sales area is increasing.

In the end, it was even regarded as a treasure and placed on the table of Liu Bei and others who were far away in Yizhou.

More importantly, Xu Tian attaches great importance to business in Jingzhou. The news of vigorously supporting various businesses, such as the gesture of the wind sweeping away the leaves, quickly swept everywhere.

In this hierarchical society. The status of merchants has always been despised by others, especially in front of those who are scholars.

Those so-called famous doctors are the ones they look down on the most. It's these people who are scheming for the sake of money.

In their moral system, only villains will calculate each other for money.

Gradually. Merchants of all sizes from all over the country began to go to Jingzhou.

In their eyes, this is simply their world.

As a result, Jingzhou's economic strength is climbing at a terrifying speed.

In order to deal with this emerging situation, Xu Tian deliberately set up a department called "Huixing". It is used to specifically regulate all business activities in Jingzhou, including regulating the market, taxation, etc.

Naturally, Lu Tianba became the head of the guild and led a series of affairs.

It was only at this time that Lu Tianba really understood Xu Tian's intention of sending him to Jiangdong.

He wants to give himself the merit and conditions to be able to convince the public!

For Xu Tian's calculations, Lu Tianba is used to it.

Now he only knows that as long as Xu Tian says a word, he will not hesitate to give everything he has, including his life...

…

While the development of business is in full swing, the reform of the military system is also being carried out simultaneously.

Regarding this matter, Xu Tian has been thinking about it for a long time.

Today, the number of troops has skyrocketed. And it's a mixed bag, and it's very chaotic to manage.

It is impossible for such an army to have combat effectiveness.

As a result, Xu Tian issued a series of orders.

First of all, the Shadow Guard Mansion was created again. Due to the experience in Xudu a few years ago, it was a lot less troublesome to build again.

The selection of talents, Xu Tian handed over to Shen Du to be fully responsible.

According to Xu Tian's requirements, the selection must be the elite of the elite. And there is a skill preferred.

Once chosen by the Shadow Guard Mansion, the person's parents include the family from then on. will enjoy a series of lucrative treatments, and there will be no worries.

And I will also enjoy various privileges.

The fact is just as Xu Tian expected, the elite soldiers with various abilities will quickly stand out...

The three thousand elites selected formed a new shadow guard, which was personally led by Xu Tian.

They were all equipped with the finest weapons, and each wore a black cape. Riding on a carefully selected strong war horse, a powerful aura swept out.

In addition to being selected to become the person of the shadow guard.

The rest of the army was divided into three armies.

The left army is the Flying Tiger Army, all of which were defeated by Jin Xuan's shadow guards. But its ability is above that of ordinary soldiers.

This army was commanded by Shen Du.

The Chinese army is the Flying Leopard Army, which is mostly composed of brave cavalry. These people are all veterans who are skilled in bows and horses.

This army was led by Wei Yan.

The right army is the Flying Bear Army, which is also mostly composed of foot soldiers armed with spears and burly ironclad soldiers with huge shields.

This army, due to the non-commander.

Each of the three armies was 30,000 men. The three people assigned by Xu Tian jointly selected and practiced!

As for many old and weak soldiers, they were all sent to Tuntian by Xu Tian...

…

A month later, on the newly built Shadow Guard Mansion training ground.

The sky was blue and cloudless.

At this moment, there were countless soldiers standing densely on the training ground.

Hundreds of shadow guards were dressed in black armor, holding long swords and riding proudly, and the black cloaks behind them fluttered in the wind.

Behind them, the officers and men of the three armies stood equally proudly in different states.

One by one, they were in good spirits and stared ahead with indifferent expressions.

A powerful momentum suddenly appeared...

Surrounded by Shen Du and others, Xu Tian came to the army in military uniform.

At this moment, Xu Tian was wearing a dark cyan armor. The helmet covered most of his face, and the crimson cloak behind him fluttered as he walked.

After a pause, Xu Tian pressed his sword and stood in front of the army.

Shen Du, Wei Yan and others were divided into two sides. Standing behind him, equally watching the army.

Yu Fei silently looked at Xu Tian's back, Xu Tian was in his eyes at this time. It's been different.

He was the one who had followed Xu Tian the longest, and he also knew him best.

At the beginning, Xu Tian, who was leaning on the mass grave and had no choice but to drink and cry. It seems to be gone.

Instead, it is the old scheming in front of him. A young man who is already qualified to compete with the major princes.

He knew that Xu Tian had completely changed. This brother of his own, has risen!

With the friction sound of the long sword coming out of its sheath, Xu Tian slowly pulled out his saber.

Under the helmet that covered most of his face, two cold eyes appeared.

He pointed his sword to the sky on top of the chariots in the training ground. The rumbling sound of war drums rang out.

As the drums sounded, the armies danced their weapons almost simultaneously.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The earth seemed to tremble, and the armies roared in unison, mixed with the friction of countless armors, which was deafening.

Subsequently, under the command of Shen Du. The armies used various formations to show their momentum for Xu Tian on the training ground.

Looking at everything in front of him, Xu Tian smiled.

His heart is roaring, his blood is burning, and in this era, he finally has everything of his own.

And his gaze will never stop at Jingzhou...
