Those who lack money are not only Liu Bei. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiangdong's finances are also stretched.

The little overlord Sun Ce has the courage of a hero, but lacks a heroic mind. The trip to Songshan was frustrated by Lu Bu, and Sun Ce was so angry that he vomited blood.

Sun Ce is only twenty-three years old, and he is in the age of heroism, so this injury is nothing.

There is no shortage of famous doctors in Jiangdong. After the diagnosis, he said that there was no major problem, and he only needed to rest and recuperate, and he could be cured.

It's just that the little overlord has a small amount of energy, and the evil spirit does not come out, and the internal stasis cannot be removed. Small setbacks, never forget.

Raising is raised, but the heart can't calm down, and all I think about all day long is killing people and taking revenge.

After more than a month, Sun Ce's condition did not improve at all, but became more and more serious.

Sun Ce couldn't take care of military and political affairs, but Jiangdong couldn't be left without an owner. Sun Ce handed over the Jiangdong military power to Zhou Yu. handed over the government affairs to his younger brother Sun Quan, supplemented by Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou, the second son of Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng.

Sun Quan was born in the fifth year of Guanghe (182 AD), only sixteen years old, just past the age of bundling his hair. But he is tall and straight, his appearance is wonderful, his mouth is big, his eyes are blue, his eyes are bright, and he is strange to the world.

Sun Quan has a strange appearance and a genius.

Since childhood, he has fought with his brother Sun Ce, and he has grown up as a young man.

Sun Ce loved this younger brother very much and intended to train him. He often took him to important occasions and often questioned him about military and political affairs. Sun Quan is always a fluent answer, quite insightful.

In the first year of Jian'an (196 AD), Sun Ce asked Sun Quan, who was only 14 years old, to serve as the magistrate of Yangxian County. Sun Quan lived up to his brother's hopes and governed Yangxian in an orderly manner.

Sun Quan has a cheerful personality, benevolence and decisiveness, and advocates chivalry, and likes to support talents. Because of this, Sun Ce was relieved to hand over Jiangdong government affairs to his agent.

With a heavy burden on his shoulders, Sun Quan didn't dare to slack off, worked hard, and forgot to sleep and eat.

However, Sun Quan is facing a huge problem - money.

Sun Ce fought in all directions, expanded his territory, and took the vast area south of the Yangtze River as his own.

Like the problem faced by Liu Bei in Xuzhou, harvesting land and population means that expenses have increased exponentially.

The cost of appeasing the people and expanding the army is huge. Jiangdong's financial problems are more serious than Xuzhou's.

Jiangdong is bordered by the sea in the southeast, the Yangtze River in the north, and the big lake (Poyang Lake) in the west.

With water on all sides, vigorously developing the naval army, fighting Liu Biao in the west, and defending Liu Mang in the north is the correct strategic policy.

In the first battle of Poyang Lake, although the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy suffered heavy losses, the losses were also extremely heavy.

The Jiangdong Navy won by luck, but the gap with the Jingzhou Navy was still obvious.

Recognizing his own shortcomings, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu formulated a strategic policy of giving priority to the development of naval forces and large ships. Concentrate financial resources to build a large ship that can compete with the Jingzhou giant ship.

Easy to plan, hard to implement.

It costs a lot to build a large ship. Jiangdong's finances are getting tighter and tighter.

At this time, Sun Quan was under great pressure, which can be imagined.

Sun Quan made friends, had many guests, and had many contacts with Jiangdong figures. Sun Quan was disturbed by money and depressed, which attracted the attention of one person.

This person is Qin Hui!

Qin Hui, whose real name is Qin Duan. Previously, Qin Hui offered advice to the little emperor Liu Xie and secretly recruited Yuan Shu to fight against Liu Mang.

However, Qin Hui was one step short after all. When he arrived in Shouchun, Liu Mang had already solved the party of the little emperor of Luoyang and completely controlled the power of the dynasty.

Without waiting for Yuan Shu to support the little emperor, Liu Mang and Liu Bei's army were already approaching Shouchun.

Yuan Shu and his puppet Han court were finished, and Qin Hui's hope of clinging to the little emperor and being a royalist hero came to naught. There is no way out, so I can only go to Jiangdong with Liu Jin.

Looking at the jade seal of the country, Sun Ce accepted Qin Hui and Liu Jin. The courtesy is increased, but it is not used against, and only the two are awarded fictitious positions in name only.

Sun Ce's subordinates and those who are reused are either Sun Jian's old department or the children of famous Jiangdong families. Qin Hui and Liu Jin are not descendants of the Sun family, and their roots in Jiangdong are shallow, and it is difficult to get ahead one day!

Qin Hui is talented and eloquent, and he thinks that he has no talent, and he is unwilling. In order to get ahead, he took refuge in Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was worried about money, and Qin Hui finally waited for the opportunity.

"Hinoki has a strategy to solve the urgent need of the young man." (Note: Jiangdong is accustomed to calling the lord respectful, and after Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, his subordinates were called "supreme".) ）

Sun Quan was overjoyed. "Speak!"

"Far Sea Trade."

"Far Sea Trade?"

"Yes, yes." Qin Hui took out a map of the East China Sea and talked eloquently. "China is located in the middle of the world, and the east of China is the sea. To the east of the sea is Wajima, and the place where Wayi live. ”

"Waiyi? I've heard that the Japanese look weird, and the Japanese have short legs, right? ”

"Less erudite and more learned!" Qin Hui presented a sycophant at the right time.

Qin Hui said that the island is barbaric, and the Japanese are slow to civilize. On the Wa Island, there is no country, and countless small tribes fight endlessly all year round. (Note: At this time, Japan was in the Yayoi period, and it was only with the arrival of people from Watari and outsiders from China and Korea that they gradually entered the agricultural society.) ）

Qin Hui continued: "Wadao is barren, and compared with my Han Heavenly Dynasty, there is a difference between heaven and earth. If you sell the things of the Celestial Empire to Wadao, you will get a lot of money. ”

"Uh...... However, the road is far away, the sea is unpredictable, my Jiangdong ship, can only travel in the rivers and lakes near the sea, how to get to the island? ”

"My ship in Jiangdong does not need to go far to the sea."

"Oh?"

"Can the young master know Wang Zhi?"

"Wang Zhi?!" Sun Quan's eyes widened, and his eyes glowed blue.

Wang Zhi, of course Sun Quan knows, that is a famous pirate in the East China Sea!

Sun Quan was smart and immediately understood what Qin Hui meant, and joined forces with the pirate Wang Zhi to trade with Wadao and obtain profits.

Sun Quan doesn't do it!

The great power of the Celestial Empire, trading with the islands has already lowered its value. And colluded with pirates, spread out, and ruined his reputation!

Since Qin Hui offered this strategy, of course he had already prepared.

"I respect Jiangdong, so naturally I can't associate with pirates. Entrust Jiangdong merchants and trade with them. Shen Fu Shen Wansan, familiar with maritime trade, can help Shaozun. ”

The Shen clan of Jiangdong is also a big family in Jiangdong. Generations of businessmen, a lot of wealth. It's just that the Shen family came from a humble background, and although they had strong financial resources, they couldn't enter the core of Jiangdong's power.

It is possible to consider the Shen family coming forward to cooperate with the pirate Wang Zhi in maritime trade.

"Is Wang Zhiken?"

"Liu Jin has always had dealings with Wang Zhi and can be an intermediary."

In Shouchun, Liu Jin established Jinyiwei, and his minions were all over the place. Established a relationship with the pirate Wang Zhi.

Qin Hui said a clever word, and Sun Quan was moved.

However, Sun Quan still has scruples.

Wang Zhi is a pirate, and if he is allowed to trade ashore, it is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house. Moreover, Wang Zhi is a thief, suspicious by nature, and will not go ashore.

Trade with it, which can only be done offshore.

Trading with pirates at sea is too risky. If you are not careful, you will lose your wife and lose your soldiers.

Only by sending a naval army can we be sure.

"After discussing with Gongjin, it will be decided."

"Discuss with General Gongjin, this matter may not be successful. General Gongjin is afraid and doesn't care about such a trivial matter, hehe......"

Qin Hui smiled, but it implied a deep meaning.

Sun Quan has power in his name, and he is the most common thing to scheming. Qin Hui smiled meaningfully, and Sun Quan knew what he meant......
