Pingzhou, Liaodong, Xiangping City.

In the fourth year of the first peace, Sun Ce and Sun Quan led their troops to land in Liaodong, defeated Gongsun Du, and captured Liaodong, which brought earth-shaking changes to Liaodong from then on.

Today's Xiangping City, than a few years ago, is more prosperous, as the Pingzhou Thorn Mansion of the city, its scale and development than the six counties of Jiangdong City is not inferior in the slightest.

Since Liaodong opened up the maritime trade routes and connected Jiangdong, the population and resources brought by Jiangdong have made Liaodong continue to develop.

Although Liaodong is poor, it is not without resources, on the contrary, the treasures buried in the white water of this piece of black mountain are more abundant.

The first to flourish in Liaodong was coal, and there are many open-pit coal mines in Liaodong, and coal has now flourished in Jiangdong and is used in large quantities.

After the coal began to flourish, many people in Jiangdong naturally began to stare at the underground of Liaodong, and more and more Jiangdong people began to go ashore from Liaodong and pan for gold in Liaodong.

Naturally, it has also brought incredible changes to Liaodong.

Here, it began to become more and more prosperous, although it is still not as good as Jiangdong, but it is not inferior to Youzhou.

Facing December, in the deep winter season, the world of Liaodong is a white world, and the snow is fluttering, putting a silver dress on this Xiangping City.

Pingzhou Thorn History Mansion.

Thorn Shi Sun Jing sat on a warm kang bed and gently looked at a book.

The kang bed stolen by Sun Quan greatly alleviated the discomfort caused by the ice and snow in Liaodong.

A young man standing not far in front of Sun Jing was Sun Yi, Sun Yi raised his head and glanced at Sun Jing slightly. I couldn't figure out Sun Jing's mentality in my heart, so I didn't dare to speak out.

It is now the depths of winter, the weather in Liaodong is very cold, and Sun Yi's figure is standing at a vent, and the howling cold wind is blowing. It made him shudder.

Sun Jing's face was rigorous, and from then on, she didn't make a sound, and Sun Yi was also a stubborn teenager, standing all the time, and the whole person was a little stiff. I didn't dare to speak out.

"Uncle Bi!"

Sun Jing glanced up, after all, she was a little soft-hearted, gently put down the book, and said lightly: "Do you know why a certain family wants you to stand here?" ”

"The last general doesn't quite understand!"

Sun Yi looked at Sun Jing and gritted his teeth. Road.

"Uncle Bi, you are a very smart person, it's not that you don't understand, but you don't want to admit it in your heart!"

Sun Jing sighed and said, "You came to Liaodong, I am very happy, but I ...... You want too much, this is Liaodong. A certain has been sitting here for Wu for several years, watching a desolate area bit by bit achieve today's prosperity, a qiē here. Something better than you have to know.

Do you think that if you can hide your small actions from others, you must be able to hide them? When and which general you meet, you know exactly what. ”

"Uncle, I ......"

When Sun Yi heard this, his face changed in shock. Hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to parse.

"Uncle Bi. You don't have to go on with anything, you don't have to think about anything. I know! ”

Sun Jing shook his head, looked at this ambitious teenager, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Sun Yi is indeed good, thirteen years old, young and old, young and promising, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and now the Sun family has produced two young overlords.

Sun Yi is indeed a little more mature than ordinary people, but compared to Sun Quan and Sun Ce, the two demons, it is not a level at all.

If he forcibly fights, the final result Sun Jing can predict.

"Uncle Bi, in February next year, a certain will step down from the Pingzhou Assassin History and return to Jinling City, during this time, you will give An a little bit, don't make it difficult to do, as for what happens in the future, you will not be able to control you."

Sun Jing is not willing to get involved in the storm of the dispute between the prince of Wu State, Sun Quan and Sun Ce, he knows the means of both of them, and he can't afford it.

And Sun Yi is young and vigorous now, and he is not a person who can be persuaded to do so, and he is too lazy to power him.

He just needs to know that he is loyal to Sun Jian, and he can't care about the rest, and he doesn't really want to care about it.

Since ancient times, the Heavenly Family has been ruthless, for the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is not surprising that the brothers are not at all surprised, and now the Sun family is the home of the Son of Heaven in the Wu Kingdom.

"Nephew understood!" When Sun Yi heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Stand down!"

Sun Jing waved his hand.

"No!"

"Wait!"

Sun Yi turned around and left, when he walked to the door, Sun Jing suddenly stopped him, he couldn't bear it after all, but still gave Sun Yi a piece of advice, and said: "Shubi, Liaodong is the territory of Wu, if there is no order from the king, whoever dares to use Liaodong's elite soldiers is a traitor to Wu, don't mess around, and ...... You'd better not treat Jinyiwei as an ornament, on the land of Liaodong, even a certain can't escape Jinyiwei's sight! ”

……

Between the fluttering snowflakes, Sun Yi walked out of the Thorn Shi Mansion with a complicated feeling, and as he walked, he muttered in his mouth: Jinyi Wei...... Jinyi Wei ...... Jinyi Wei ......

He was still too careless.

Wu Guo Jinyiwei He naturally knew that when Sun Quan formed Jinyiwei in the past, he was present, and he was the most terrifying group of people in Wu Guo.

Once Jin Yiwei finds out his plan, then ......

Thinking of this, Sun Yi's face became more and more ugly.

"Uncle Bi!"

At this time, in the wind and snow, a young man wearing a brocade coat walked over and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder.

"Brother Bowen!" Sun Yi was suddenly startled, looked back, and then settled down.

The person who came was Sun Jing's eldest son, Sun Hui, the word Bowen, in this era, many of the words of the eldest son began with Bo, which is the meaning of the eldest son.

"Look at your expression, you were reprimanded by your father!" Sun Wei squinted slightly, and said, "Since my father knows, it seems that things are not going well!" ”

Sun Wei was also an ambitious man, and after Sun Ce's death in history, he once led an army to seize Sun Quan's power, but was defeated by Huiji.

After Sun Yi came to Liaodong, he began to expand his ambitions, and he has always supported Sun Yi behind his back. If it weren't for him taking advantage of Sun Jing's relationship, Sun Yi wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Liaodong so easily.

"Uncle may think that we are not sure that we will succeed!"

Sun Yi smiled bitterly: "So I don't support it, and I also warned me not to let me use the elite soldiers of Liaodong!" ”

"My father is old, and he is a little bit at ease. But we can't just be at ease, we have to let the king impress us before we have a chance. ”

Sun Wei's eyes burst with a ray of essence, and said, "Shubi, now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the Jin Kingdom to attack the Yan Kingdom." Send troops to seize it, as long as we can seize the Yan Kingdom smoothly, I believe that the king will definitely not blame us! ”

"Brother Bowen, you're right."

Sun Yi nodded, a touch of unwillingness erupted in his expression, and finally gritted his teeth. Said firmly: "Yan Guo, we must take it!" ”

"Uncle Bi, let's go, today I will take you to see General Gu Bai, he has 20,000 elite cavalry in his hands, as long as we convince him, he can send troops!"

Sun Wei said suddenly.

These days, the two of them have visited many Liaodong generals. Indeed, many soldiers were persuaded to accompany them on adventures, and even Sun Yi relied on his status as the third prince of Wu Guo and his personal bravery. It has received the refuge and support of many Liaodong soldiers.

But now the generals of the Quartet who are suppressing Liaodong, each of them has heavy troops, and none of them let go of their support for Sun Yi.

This is also where he has been a little hesitant.

"Will General Cooper agree?"

While the two were walking, Sun Yi still had no bottom in his heart, and asked.

"General Gu Bai was originally Liu Yu's subordinate, and since he defected to the state of Wu. I have always hated Gongsun Chan, as long as we are convincing enough. I'm sure I can! ”

Sun Wei is full of confidence.

————————————————————————————————

Jinling City.

The royal palace, the imperial study.

Sun Jian's body sat upright on a Taishi chair. The face was gloomy and uncertain, and in front of the desk, Prime Minister Zhang Zhao, Imperial Doctor Zhang Hong, and Taiwei Cheng Pu were all standing quietly, their faces were ugly.

As Sun Jian continued to flip through the copywriting in his hand, his face became more and more ugly, and the atmosphere became more and more depressed.

This is the casualty list of the battle of the Wu State against the Lu State.

Shouchun, Xiapi, Donghai, the tripartite battlefield, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses fought, this time the sacrifice of Wu was huge, especially the East China Sea battlefield.

"You and the other three came here today, they plan to sue Sù Lonely, Wu Guo has no money!"

In the middle of the ring, Sun Jiancai blushed his face, closed the copy, raised his head, his eyes were like sharp blades, falling on the two of them, and said coldly: "My Wu country sits in Jiangdong, rich and unparalleled, and famous all over the world, how can I not even get the soldier's pension?" ”

"The king's wrath!"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly walked out, his face was slightly bitter, and he looked at Sun Jian, arched his hand and said: "Our Wu country is indeed the richest country in the world, the people under its jurisdiction have clothes to wear, food to eat, and land to cultivate, and recently the merchants have prospered, and many families have become rich, but our court is not rich. ”

"Why?" When Sun Jian heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked.

"King, now the territory of Wu is getting bigger and bigger, and the expenses in all aspects are also large, Liaodong can still be self-sufficient, but there is no money left to hand over, only hundreds of thousands of Shanyue were placed a few years ago, this is also a lot of money, Jiaozhou has not been stable for a long time, we must allocate it to the court every year for development, plus our soldiers and horses cost more money than ordinary princes, the ships of the navy must be maintained, and the horses of the cavalry must be constantly replaced, these are all costly!"

Zhang Zhao continued softly: "Although Wu is rich, but the tax we set is not high, the land tax is thirty taxes one, and since the beginning of the fifth year of the first peace, the entry tax has been reduced again and again, as the capital, Jinling has no entry tax, speaking of which is fortunate that the merchants in Jiangdong are now prosperous, so that we have collected a lot of commercial taxes, otherwise I am afraid that the expenses of our court have long been restrained." ”

"Alas, the people of Wu are richer than me, the king, what is this called!"

Sun Jian listened to it and let out a long sigh, but he understood Zhang Zhao's words, Wu is rich, but only the people are rich, and the court is poor and can't open the pot.

The main stall is too big, and many of them are desolate places, if you want to develop, you have to invest, and now with a ruined Xuzhou, it will take at least a few years to recover.

"King!"

Cheng Pu's face was calm. Gently stood up and arched his hand: "This time the conquest of the Lu State, the Shouchun Battlefield, the Xiapi Battlefield, and the East China Sea Battlefield." All combined, the list of all casualties has been investigated, the casualties of the soldiers of the Wu State are 45,210 people, if according to the pension of our Wu State, the matchmaker is at least 15,000 yuan or more, we need at least nearly 1 billion money. This money must be taken out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes in the army! ”

This pension is higher than that of ordinary vassal states, but it is actually very low, fifteen thousand yuan, which is only the worst grain of 100 stones.

Human life is sometimes so cheap.

"The King. Our tax payment this year is 6 billion dollars, and now that it is the end of the year, there is not much money left! ”

Zhang Zhao gently sent out a copy and said with a wry smile: "This is Dasi Nong's settlement." ”

Dasi Nong, one of the Nine Secretaries, is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance and is responsible for the country's tax and money.

Ten thousand dollars for one gold, so it seems. The tax is not high.

"What's going on, it's ...... this year Deficit? ”

Today's ledgers are not very complex, as long as the records are simple. It can be seen directly, Sun Jian first looks at the expenditure and income, and then looks at the final settlement.

He froze.

"King, this year, the hundreds of thousands of troops mobilized by the Wu State to wage war against the Lu State have already exceeded the budget."

Zhang Hong sighed and said helplessly.

"Okay. You come directly to tell Sù Lonely, what the hell is Lone going to do? Only then did he take out this money and give the soldiers a pension! ”

Sun Jian snapped and closed the ledger fiercely. A little annoyed.

The soldiers' pensions must be paid before the Chinese New Year, otherwise this will be tantamount to announcing to the world that there is a problem with Wu's finances, which will bring great trouble to Wu.

This side has just won a big victory, and there is a financial problem on that side, what kind of thing is this, there is no money to fight a fart battle, which will definitely make Wu Guo's morale plummet.

"King, none of us can make money empty-handed, in the world of Wu today, I am afraid there is one person who can solve this problem!" Zhang Zhao squinted his eyes and said suddenly.

"Who?" Sun Jian asked.

"Donghou"

Zhang Zhao lightly spit out a name.

……

At this time, in Donghou Mansion, it is rare for his two daughters-in-law to rest, and Sun Quan naturally enjoys life, listening to Cai Yan's piano and watching Zhen Mi's beautiful dance leisurely.

Sneeze!

Suddenly, he involuntarily sneezed.

Sun Quan hurriedly shook his head, looked around with some confusion, and then muttered, "Who is calculating me?" ”

……

"Why?"

At this moment, in the imperial study, Sun Jian heard Zhang Zhao's words, his face moved slightly, and he asked with some surprise: "Could it be that Zhongmou is rich?" ”

He knows that Sun Quan is rich, but he can't be so rich, can he really be rich and rival the country?

"Donghou is rich, and the world knows it!"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "But he will definitely not be able to take out such a large sum of money, and now there is only one person who can take out this money, Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"Koto Chamber of Commerce?"

When Sun Jian heard this, his eyes burst with a gleam.

"That's right, the richest people in Jiangdong are definitely not the wealthy families, nor our court, but this group of merchants, who today only pay half of the national taxes paid by merchants."

Zhang Zhao continued: "And as far as I know, this year, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is still a bumper year. ”

"Zibu, if Lone remembers correctly, the general commercial tax is more harsh!" Sun Jian was a little puzzled and said, "Why can they still have such a bumper harvest!" ”

"The King."

At this time, Zhang Hong stood up, smiled slightly, and analyzed: "There is a saying in the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, as long as the trade route is opened, the stone can also be sold at the price of gold!" ”

"And now Wu is accessible in all directions, through guò merchant ships, through Liaodong Jiaozhou, the goods from Liaodong are transported to Jiaozhou, the price is doubled, and the special products of Jiaozhou are transported to Liaodong, and the price is tripled!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and added.

"Then what do you mean......" Sun Jian squinted, his eyes bloomed with the light of a wolf, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's borrow it from the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce?" Or is it straightforward...... Forced conscription? ”

"Forced conscription? King, we are not bandits! ”

When the three giants of the Wu Kingdom and the Imperial Hall heard Sun Jian's naked, the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching.

"Lone knows!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he blushed slightly: "Just kidding, Lone hasn't been so faceless and skinless." ”

"King, in fact, even if we are willing to borrow, I'm afraid the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is not willing to lend us, after all, the whole billion money is not a small amount."

Zhang Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "This matter fell on Donghou." ”

"Donghou is the founder of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, and has a different status in the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, he opened his mouth, and the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce built Jinling City for free, and the coins, materials, and grains they invested in Jinling City have added up to more than a billion dollars, so now as long as Donghou opens his mouth, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce should borrow it!"

Zhang Hong added with a smile.

"Everyone is fighting hard to borrow it, I can't be the lord of a country, and Sun Zhongmou only needs to open his mouth, what you mean is that Sun Zhongmou's face is better than Lone's!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he felt a little indignant in his heart.

Why?

He is the king of Wu State, why does Sun Zhongmou have a face more than him. (To be continued)
