Three days later, the Imperial Study.

Zhou Yu, the head of the household, stood in front of the imperial case with some excitement, looking at the numbers on the treasury ledger in his hand, grinning, and smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Looking at some bright numbers on it, he even put down his usual cautious etiquette, and couldn't help but laugh a little at Sun Quan: "Haha, Your Majesty, it seems that Weichen underestimated your handsome and extraordinary face, if the next time there is a problem with the treasury, he will let you buy your face!" ”

Sun Quan's action of brushing his face and borrowing money this time was too successful.

In just three days, Sun Quan borrowed a full 50 million silver dollars from the 12 chambers of commerce, half of which were cash silver and half were material, 50 million silver dollars, that is, 5 billion yuan.

In this Great Wu Dynasty, I am afraid that only Sun Quan's face can do it in a short period of time.

Even if he, Zhou Yu, the head of the household, came forward to borrow money in the name of the court, I am afraid it will not be so smooth, whether it is Mi Zhu of the business department or Su Shuang of Dawu Qianzhuang, there is no such big threat in the business world.

In today's Dawu, only Sun Quan is the only one who can make these businessmen willingly buy it.

"Get out!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but touch his handsome face, and said a little angrily: "Is it easy for me, now I have sold my face, fortunately they are still willing to buy it."

If they don't want to, I'll lose my face, but I've already told them that the money is borrowed! ”

In fact, Sun Quan himself was a little surprised by the smooth borrowing of money this time.

He underestimated the weight of his heart towards the businessman, although there was some element of imperial power in it, but it was more gratitude, the gratitude of the businessman, which made things go smoothly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, our officer. It's not a bandit, we still understand the reason to repay it! ”

Zhou Yu nodded, after the new law of Dawu came out, there was a great deal of protection for personal property, and he knew this.

"Your Majesty. I have asked Dawu Qianzhuang to make a plan, this money will be repaid in installments with a period of five years, of course, this cannot be regarded as a national debt, this money is borrowed, not loaned, it is regarded as an interest-free loan! ”

Zhou Yu explained in detail: "No interest is indeed a bit unfair to businessmen, but I will let the business department try to give some compensation in the policy!" ”

Fifty million silver dollars. If this is calculated as interest, five years of time, it is too terrifying, the household can save a little, I believe that this group of merchants has little opinion.

"Good!"

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, and he reminded: "Zhou Yu, you remember, the important thing is not to pay back the money. Instead, they were in the business department, and more than a dozen of their chambers of commerce dared to lend this money. I won't be in a hurry to take it back.

And the Business Department controls the lifeblood of the merchants, in fact, they are willing to lend me money, one is really grateful to me, and the other is that he wants to have a good relationship with the court, at least the Business Department does not give them trouble. ”

"Wechen round Mi Zhu to discuss!" Zhou Yu nodded. Nowadays, merchants are prosperous, all kinds of goods are circulating, and the power of the business department is also much greater, and it controls the lifeblood of many merchants.

"I heard that there seem to be a lot more caravans going to the South China Sea and Kushan recently!" Sun Quan said suddenly.

As early as after arriving in Yizhou, Dawu had already developed this piece of sea. But the effect has not been very good, after all, the sea is stormy.

Nowadays, ironclad warships have become popular, and the maritime security has greatly increased, which has stimulated many offshore development projects.

"In terms of taxes, yes!"

Zhou Yu nodded: "The Australian mainland of the South China Sea has entered the stage of great development, last year, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and more than a dozen small merchants in Huiji formed a caravan to go to sea, and it was time to make a lot of money when they returned, which caused a wave of many merchants!" ”

"You're going to have to keep an eye on that!"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Our court is proposing that businessmen develop, only circulation can develop the economy, in order to make the people's living standards go up, but on the issue of taxes, the court must not overlap, now many people look at the businessmen to make a lot of money, up to the crooked heart, after the central tax is paid, the place is peeling off a layer of skin, which will hit the enthusiasm of the businessmen." ”

"Indeed!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly bitterly, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although we say that there are signs of national peace and security in Dawu, there are actually many filthy things underneath.

It's a pity that last year, the attendance of the officials was not done thoroughly, and even the plan with the Yushitai was stopped, and a lot of fish were missed, and there was still a certain amount of confusion in local management. ”

"What does the Imperial Observatory say?" Sun Quan asked with a cold gaze.

If the upper beam is not correct, the lower beam must be crooked, if the officials are not good, do you still expect the people below to live well?

Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, his expression was serious, and he replied: "Some time ago, Yushitai won the county order of six or seven coastal areas because of the collection of taxes, and now the Department of Commerce is vigorously developing the maritime economy, and there are indeed a lot of gold diggers among the coastal people.

However, there is some chaos in terms of taxation, and when the tax decree issued by the center is implemented by the people below, it has increased a lot of weight, resulting in the dissatisfaction of many businessmen and the sue to the Imperial Historical Observatory, which is still a case handled by Lord Zhang Hong in person, in February of the beginning of the year, it shook the entire Great Wu Dynasty! ”

"This is very clear, hey, our Dawu has too little background after all, and it has been full of expansion over the years, and there are some loopholes in internal management!"

Sun Quan sighed helplessly.

A dynasty needs time to precipitate, and it also needs time to remove the old shadow and develop a new order.

The Great Wu Dynasty, which has only a few years of history, has perfected a lot in terms of the central system after undergoing the reforms, but it is difficult to fully implement the central policy.

After all, the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty is too big now, and there are mistakes in management, which is normal, this needs to be corrected slowly, and Sun Quan also knows that he can't be in a hurry.

"Zhou Yu, the tax has always been managed by the household department, and you still need to keep an eye on this matter!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "You must keep an eye on it, if you can, I will allow you to use thunderous means to make the tax law of Dawu be implemented at the local level, and we have personally set the tax law." Never be defiled! ”

"No!"

Zhou Yu nodded cautiously.

Sun Quan groaned for a while, continued to discuss the next government affairs, and said: "By the way, since this money has now entered the treasury account, you should communicate well with the logistics department, hurry up." Send the materials of the Blood Wolf Battalion over, and the battle of the state is now urgent! ”

"Wechen understands!"

Zhou Yu also knew that now that the state has been merged, the army has begun to be mobilized, and the logistics preparations that are waiting for the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and without logistics support, they dare not enter the prairie.

"Go ahead."

"No!"

After Zhou Yu left the imperial study, he returned to the cabinet hall. Immediately convened several heads of the household department to discuss the matter of appropriation and logistics division.

"Cao Yang, lead my horse, I will take a trip to the Military Aircraft Pavilion!"

In the afternoon, in the evening, Sun Quan stood up, looked at the remnant sun, and said.

"No!"

Cao Yang soon brought Sun Quan's horse.

Sun Quan turned over and got on the horse. Go straight to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, although they are all in a Forbidden City. But the distance is not ordinarily far, and it takes half an hour to ride a horse.

Now, Dawu's army is already in a state of war in all directions, Guishan has been fighting, and the Bingzhou Blood Wolf Army has been ready to fight, and Zhao Yun in Hanzhong has also entered the upper memorial. In Jingzhou, Lu Bu obviously wanted to attack the east and the west and take Peicheng.

He had to put his spirit above the military.

In the evening, the military aircraft pavilion was very busy, and even the footsteps of the soldiers who came in and out were much faster. The staff offices and analysis rooms are all in full swing to discuss, some are analyzing the intelligence coming back from the front, some are checking the movement of troops, and some are comparing grain and grass data......

In the center of the lobby of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, around a circular sand table, Pan Feng and Ju Yi had solemn faces on the faces of several military aircraft ministers, looking at the sand table in Hanzhong on the sand table, thinking one by one, a little quiet.

"What are you thinking about, is there no news from Hanzhong yet?" Sun Quan walked in, glanced at the sand table that was laid out, and asked.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and saw that Sun Quan didn't know when he walked in, so they hurriedly saluted one by one.

Sun Quan waved his hand, sat on the first Taishi chair, and asked, "Say, is there any war report from Hanzhong now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, not yet!"

Xu Shu, director of the General Staff Department, stood up and handed over his hand to report: "General Zhao Zilong has been in the city for more than ten days now, but he has not launched any offensive campaign, and he has not fought a single battle!" ”

"Zhao Yun is so calm!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he squinted slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This is not quite like his Zhao Yun's style, it seems that in the Battle of Guishan, he seems to have grown a lot!" ”

"Your Majesty, now we are all a little confused about General Zhao's intentions!" Ju Yi said with a wry smile: "It stands to reason that the more you open and end the battle of Shangyong, the better, otherwise it will be difficult to fight when Zhang He's troops are reinforced!" ”

"It's a good thing you can't figure it out!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth still raised a smile, and said: "You can't figure it out, presumably the enemy army is even more incomprehensible, we are now far behind, we must choose to believe in the battle on the front line, the military aircraft department does not need to put pressure on Zilong, this battle, let him play, as long as I have the result, he wins, I reward, he loses, I punish!" ”

"No!"

Everyone glanced at each other, thought about it, and agreed with Sun Quan's statement.

After all, they have always trusted this Zhao Zilong, a hussar general.

"By the way, I want to know if the Blood Wolf Army's strategic plan for this battle has been sent back?" Sun Quan asked in a deep voice, compared with Hanzhong and Jingzhou, he is more worried about merging states now.

Huang Zhong and Pang Tong, this time it was a big game, the mobilization of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, poured out, and fought to the death against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, if this battle could not be won, there would be big problems in the entire northern defense line.

"Not yet!"

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "But the news says that it is already on the way, and it should be able to reach the General Staff Division tomorrow, this strategic plan is made by the Staff Department of the Blood Wolf Battalion, and it is roughly the plan formulated by Pang Tong."

And we, our staff headquarters, also made one! ”

After the Great Wu Reform, the military system was re-established, and Sun Quan deliberately cultivated a rule in the military to make a strategic deployment plan before going to war.

Planning is not as good as change, but without planning, how to deal with change.

In the era of cold weapons, fighting a war was originally to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of yourself. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the battle, in the end, it is human lives that are paid, and being prepared can weaken the damage.

"Show me!" Sun Quan said.

"No!"

Chen Gong hurriedly handed over a rough strategic plan.

Sun Quan spread out the strategic deployment plan that had taken several days to make by the General Staff Division, his eyes moved slightly, and finally he spent an hour carefully looking at the troop deployment made by the General Staff Division. But he shook his head: "If you fight like this, there is a problem, there is a lack of time connection!" ”

"Your Majesty is indeed a person who knows the soldiers!"

Ju Yi smiled bitterly, he could see the problem of this strategic deployment at a glance, most of them were experienced battlefield generals, Sun Quan could see it, which was enough to explain his military quality.

He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, we don't know how to solve the problem of time. Shuofang and Wuyuan are both sand dunes and grasslands, and the cavalry is criss-crossed, coming and going too fast, this is our dead end! ”

"Forget it, this question will wait for Pang Tong's strategic plan to come back!" Sun Quan waved his hand, Pang Tong's strategic plan did not come back for a day, and they did not know the situation. Talking on paper will not solve the problem after all.

"Yes!"

The crowd nodded.

"I'm here today. One more thing! ”

Sun Quan put down the strategic plan in his hand, his eyes swept over the ministers of military aircraft standing in front of him, and said, "The proposal for Sun Ce to enter the military aircraft department has been proposed, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, neither this cabinet nor the Imperial Observatory have yet to express their position, so we can't say anything?"

Pan Feng smiled bitterly. Whispered answer.

Cabinet ministers, ministers of military aircraft, and imperial historians, these are the pillars of the Great Wu court, and each one needs to be discussed by the entire court. It's settled.

"They are just attitudes, and the real decision is in the hands of you, the ministers of military aircraft!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "The Military Aircraft Department is the general headquarters of the world's soldiers and horses of Dawu, and every military aircraft minister is the spirit of millions of Dawu soldiers, and there is no room for neglect, and now the Seven Directions Battalion, the Wild Lion Battalion and the Flame Battalion have expressed their position, they agree with Sun Ce's entry into the Military Aircraft Department, and the others are still under consideration, I want a few of you!" ”

"Your Majesty, my opinion, against!"

Xu Shu was the first to stand up and express his opinion very directly.

"Yuan Zhi, tell me the reason!" Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly.

"The reason is simple!" Xu Shu said calmly: "He once competed with His Majesty for the throne, I can't be sure, whether he has let go of his ambitions in his heart, the ability of Jiangdong Xiaobawang, as we all know, I don't trust him!" ”

"Pan Feng, what do you mean?"

Sun Quan's expression was silent, he didn't care about Xu Shu's words, but looked at Pan Feng.

Pan Feng scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am neutral, Sun Bofu can regain control of the soldiers and horses, for Dawu, there is one more brave and invincible general, which is a good thing, but Xu Shu's worries are not unreasonable, after all, he has a special identity!" ”

"You're getting older and spicier, and you're always with the mud, Ju Yi, what do you think?"

Sun Quan was speechless and smiled, the longer Pan Feng has been the center, the longer he has begun to transform from a pure military general to a politician.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that this is a good thing!" Ju Yi said calmly: "First, Sun Bofu's identity is special, but I don't think he can do anything under our noses, and second, let him enter the military aircraft, but it can show His Majesty's broad mind and fearless spirit!" ”

He naturally agreed, now that he is a little isolated in the Military Aircraft Department, it is a good thing for him to have one more Sun Ce.

"It seems that this matter is not as smooth as imagined, and there is still controversy!"

Sun Quan sighed slightly in his heart.

What is Sun Ce's fate in the future, it depends on whether he can enter the military aircraft department once, if he successfully enters the military aircraft department, he will be able to get rid of many shadows and fight for Dawu as a pure military general.

If he can't enter the military aircraft smoothly this time, he can only carry the burden of the royal family for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to get out.

This is a very different fate. (To be continued......)
