In December, in the midst of the wind and snow, time passed day by day.

During this time, Sun Quan was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of Youzhou, he was very busy, the whole person was a busy mess, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

Although the general framework of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion and the Youzhou Battalion has been erected, and the leader of the military and political power is clear, he must personally deploy personnel.

Staffing is a big hassle.

Every division commander of the Youzhou battalion and every county guard of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Sun Quan personally watched and reviewed them one by one.

The generals or county guards placed on the frontier are each of the most important, and if he can't understand it, he won't dare to use it.

The most important thing is that Wu Guo's current new policy has not only changed the establishment, but also a big change, the separation of military and government!

Whether it is inheriting the system of the former Han Dynasty or the system left by Sun Jian, in terms of military and political affairs, it has always been integrated, and the boundaries are very hazy and blurred.

Many people in high positions, who are not only in command of the army, but also have the control of the government, and the number one who controls the military power and political power are equivalent to the princes of one side.

This has brought great trouble to the long-term rule of the central government.

A prince with a heavy army, then manages the people's livelihood, has soldiers and money, and naturally swells, even if the most loyal person is, without suppression, it is easy to give birth to ambition.

A general, with ambition, will want to be independent, and he will not obey the central rule.

Therefore, at the same time as Wu changed the law, Sun Quan emphasized the boundary between military generals and people's livelihood management officials.

Now he has established seven military camps to isolate the military from the place.

The seven military camps are under the direct command of the Military Aircraft Department and the Military Department, and have nothing to do with the local government.

However, in Youzhou, the situation is different, and the military formation cannot be divided too clearly, although the pattern of military and political division and rule in the country is basically clear.

But some of the people who guard the frontier. He needs to be given enough rights.

After the establishment of the Youzhou Camp and the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, Sun Quan thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to let Huang Zhong hang up the false post of the governor of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

The need is a fictitious position, but with this fictitious position, once it comes to the most critical time, Huang Zhong can apply. Youzhou entered the military administration.

After all, Youzhou is the frontier of Wu, surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the soldiers stationed in the frontier are eyeing each other, and most importantly, it is a little far away from Jinling City, and once the war starts, you can't be restrained.

Sun Quan couldn't get to the ground in Jicheng, and with the efforts of more than ten days, the reform of Youzhou was on the right track. At this time, it was also time for Sun Quan to return to Jinling.

He could not stay in the north for long.

He still doesn't know what the situation is at home, but after more than two months, although he is very relieved about Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others, he is more or less worried that some people will not be able to sit still.

On December 18, Sun Quan led his troops and brought Sun He and Pan Feng with him. Leave Jicheng.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Early in the morning of December 19th.

Pingjin Port.

This is the first port in Youzhou. The location is in the area of Tianjin in the later generations.

This port is an important port connecting Jiangdong to Youzhou in the past, when Jiangdong and Youzhou were on good terms, Sun Quan and Gongsun Zan joined forces to create an important port connecting Jiangdong to Youzhou.

The prosperity here is comparable to that of the port of the Clan.

However, the port of Yushi is centered on the military port, and the port of Pingjin. But it is a pure commercial port, and the port is full of caravans, and all the merchant ships are berthed.

Standing in front of the harbor, you can see the endless rows of merchant ships anchored on the shore.

At the mouth of the bay, on top of the continuous Shenzhen-Hong Kong wharf. The snow is fluttering, but the man who unloads and moves the goods is full of enthusiasm and the atmosphere is in full swing in this icy and snowy place.

Pingjin Market, relying on the market formed by Pingjin Port, the most popular market in Youzhou, here gathers the goods from the north and south of the world, and also gathers the merchants from the north and south of the world, and the prosperity is no less than the first market in Jinling, the Qinhuai River Market.

On the left side of the market, there is a luxurious mansion, which occupies a huge area, and there are more than a dozen buildings that are very high, all of which are three-storey wooden buildings, and you can see the whole market at a glance.

This is the headquarters of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

In the Chamber of Commerce, Sun Quan wore a dragon-patterned brocade robe, and the Malaysian golden knife sat in the first place, on the left and right, one was Su Shuang, a big businessman in Zhongshan, and the other was Zhang Li, a big businessman in Zhongshan.

"How about you two come in?"

Sun Quan's eyes swept over and asked with a smile.

This was his last mission in northern Xinjiang, to meet with Su Shuang and Zhang Li, and to determine a plan.

"Thanks to the king Hongfu, the Northland Chamber of Commerce has today's prosperity, the two of us, there is nothing to repay, when the king saddles the horse before and after, and do his best for the Wu country!"

Su Shuang and Zhang Li stood up, bowed to each other, and said very sincerely.

Since the two visited Sun Quan in Jinling City in the past, they have received Sun Quan's support and relied on the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce to establish the Beidi Chamber of Commerce.

The Northland Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce in the north, which is half dark and half bright, mainly active in the area of Youzhou, Jizhou.

With the increasing expansion of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, many merchants from the two states of Hebei and Youzhou have joined the association, condensing the power of businessmen into one, and achieving a behemoth in the business world.

Youzhou has Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, although the Northland Chamber of Commerce has a certain influence, but it cannot control the economy, but in Jizhou, the Northland Chamber of Commerce controls almost half of the economic circle.

It was something the two of them had never imagined.

To put it mildly, if Beidi Counter withdraws its investment in Jizhou, it will be enough to drag down Jizhou's economy, make the people of Jizhou miserable, and disrupt it.

"It's your own ability, Lone didn't do anything!"

Sun Quan shook his head, Zhang Li and Su Shuang were just two flags he had placed in the Northland.

He didn't expect the harvest to be so huge.

Jizhou used to belong to Yuan Shao, and now it is ruled by Cao Cao, since the Northland Chamber of Commerce was established by relying on Wu State, it is naturally a little disgraceful, but the weight of the Northland Chamber of Commerce is not light.

Over the years, the Northland Chamber of Commerce has really done a lot for Wu Guo.

At the beginning of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Long March, it was the Northland Chamber of Commerce that secretly coordinated and supported the grain and grass to complete the feat. Rooted in Jizhou.

"If it weren't for the king's help back then, the two of us would just be a lowly merchant in Zhongshan!" Su Shuang said very sincerely: "The Northland Chamber of Commerce has also overcome many difficulties because of the support of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce at the beginning!" ”

It was Sun Quan who made them businessmen walk out of a different path.

Among the merchants in the world, Sun Quan is a saint-like existence.

"Gossip, I won't talk about it. Do you know why Lone is waiting for you this time? ”

Sun Quan stared at the two men.

"Please make it clear!"

The two glanced at each other, quickly shook their heads, and said in unison.

"The Northland Chamber of Commerce is also a chamber of commerce under the Wu Kingdom, and I don't want to see you destroyed!"

Sun Quan said lightly: "Wei State is different from Jin State, you can hide the eyes of Ying Yangwei, you can't hide the eyes of the ghosts, and the Northland Chamber of Commerce will be exposed sooner or later!" ”

"What the king means, let's withdraw from Jizhou!"

Hearing this, Su Shuang asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded. Said: "If the Su family and the Zhang family don't want to be destroyed, they will immediately withdraw from Zhongshan, and if they want to settle Youzhou or Jiangdong, Lone will allow it, but there is one thing, Lone wants to trouble you!" ”

"Tell me, my king, we will do our best to accomplish it!"

The two of them fell to their knees and shouted respectfully.

"Lone wants to fight with Wei!"

Sun Quan stood up. Faint words.

"Isn't this a matter of the military, my lord. Do you want us to provide food and grass? Zhang Li asked in a low voice: "As long as the king speaks, we will not hesitate!" ”

"Definitely!"

Sun Quan shook his head, his eyes burst with a touch of essence, he looked at the two of them deadly, and said, "In this battle, you two will lead the army in person!" ”

"What?"

Su Shuang and Zhang Li heard this. I shuddered and was a little stunned.

After the two came back to their senses, they hurriedly shook their heads and said in unison: "King, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death. But we have never done anything to lead a soldier to fight, and we have no confidence in leading the army! ”

"This battle can only be won by you's 'leaders'!" Sun Quan cut the iron.

"Can you please explain a little bit more about it?"

Su Shuang obviously had more understanding than Zhang Li, and he heard that Sun Quan's words had different meanings.

"You should have heard that when the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce was established, there was a lot of trouble, and the powerful families were unwilling to watch the merchants become independent, so they spared no effort to attack us, but in the end we survived, and that was because we won the battle!" Sun Quan prompted the way.

"What the king said is the harbinger of the battle that opened the mall, for what we have been reading, the grain price war in Danyang County, right?"

The eyes of the two suddenly brightened.

Merchants, there are few who don't know that when the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce was established, Sun Quan led the Chamber of Commerce to stand firm in a grain price war.

This battle was worshipped by chambers of commerce everywhere, and even compiled into the must-read books of chamber of commerce regulations.

"Does the king want us to fight a grain price war in Jizhou?" Su Shuang looked at Sun Quan's side face and asked tentatively.

"Wrong! It's not just a food war, it's a real economic war! ”

Sun Quan shook his head and said: "The grain price war is a kind of economic warfare, and it is a battle for Jizhou's comprehensive economy, and I want you to use the ability of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce to crush Jizhou's economy, grain, iron, and cotton clothes...... These are all necessities, their prices are chaotic, the market will be chaotic, the market will be chaotic, the people will also be chaotic, and the only thing that is needed is the chaos in Jizhou! ”

After Wei took Jizhou, the pace became more and more stable, and if Cao Cao was allowed to go on like this, maybe he would be able to take Guanzhong before he attacked Xichuan.

This is not good for the state of Wu.

However, now the soldiers and horses of the two countries are recuperating from their injuries, and they can't fight, so Sun Quan can only think about using economic warfare to delay him for a while.

Cao Cao had just taken Jizhou, and the people's hearts were insufficient, and if at this time, Jizhou's economy collapsed, which was enough to cause public anger, and it would definitely be able to drag down the pace of Wei.

"King, although the Northland Chamber of Commerce is deeply rooted in Jizhou, money can't beat power, after all, Wei has soldiers and horses in hand, once they send troops, it is easy to quell the chaos, we can do a lot!"

Zhang Li thought about it, and his expression was a little solemn.

"You're wrong! Don't underestimate your own strength, but also overestimate the combat effectiveness of thousands of troops. ”

Sun Quan shook his head, his eyes bloomed with a shining amber light, and said: "The boat can carry the boat and capsize the boat, they have soldiers, but these soldiers and generals also come from ordinary families, when they find that they can't eat in their own homes, can they not mess up?" ”

"Please tell me, my lord, what should we do?"

Su Shuang gritted his teeth, his heart was crossed, and he agreed directly.

"You can think clearly, this matter is not a small risk, even if it is done, the Northland Chamber of Commerce will withdraw from Jizhou!" Sun Quan looked at the two of them, his eyes moving slightly.

"We believe in the King!"

The two glanced at each other and said in unison.

When Sun Quan heard this, he showed a comfortable smile and said loudly: "Since you can trust Lonely, Lone will live up to You." ”

Now that the two agreed, Sun Quan also became resolute.

"This plan is huge, the Northland Chamber of Commerce is just one of the links, Wu Guo will not only participate in the business department, but the entire household department will also support it, you have to do two things first!" Sun Quan had drawn up a file in Jinling City and handed it to the two of them.

The two hurriedly stood up, took it apart and looked at it very carefully.

"The first point, the Zhang family and the Su family must all withdraw from Zhongshan, and they can settle in Youzhou or Jiangdong if they want to, and they don't want this matter to involve their families.

The second point is that you have to allocate 10 billion dollars of activity funds. ”

Sun Quan said this, pausing.

"Ten billion?" The two of them gasped, the coins of Wei and Wu were almost the same, and they were all based on the five baht coins of the former Han Dynasty.

10,000 yuan is one gold, 10 billion yuan, that is, 10,000 gold, it's not that they can't take it, but if the Northland Chamber of Commerce loses this 10 billion money, it will not only be a big loss of vitality, but a direct bulk shipment.

"Wu Guohu's Ministry will also take out 5 billion yuan to invest in it, and even the Department of Commerce will borrow 10 billion yuan from the Huiji Chamber of Commerce, Lujiang Chamber of Commerce, Danyang Chamber of Commerce, Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, adding up, it is 25 billion money, and with 25 billion money, to impact the economy of Jizhou, plus the foundation of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce in the local area, it is enough to break down the economy of Jizhou!" Sun Quan added.

"King, isn't this action a little too big!" The two of them shuddered.

"Jizhou has always been the hinterland of the Central Plains, the economy has been very good, it was still above Jiangdong before, and now it is only a little bit lower than Jiangdong, without this capital, it can't impact Jizhou's economy!"

Sun Quan said calmly: "Besides, we are now fighting with the Wei State for money, although the Wei State has suffered a great loss of vitality because of the Jin Destruction Campaign, but they want to collect one or two hundred billion money, it is not a big problem!" ”

"So where do we start, my lord?" Su Shuang looked at the file and said in a low voice.

"Nature is food!"

Sun Quan said very directly: "Food is an introduction, as long as the price of grain is messy, everything behind it will be messy, so you start by purchasing grain and raise the price of grain for me!" ”

"No!"

The two of them glanced at each other, and they could both see a hint of battle intent in the depths of their eyes.

They are merchants, and merchants are lowly, although they have barely improved their status over the years, they never thought that they could still dominate the world war.

In this battle, even if the family is bankrupt, they will do it.

Not only for Sun Quan's knowledge, but also for the merchant's fame, they believed that if this battle could be won completely, the merchant would not only be in the state of Wu, but also in the whole world.

"In this matter, Lone will let Mi Zhu go north to assist you, remember, you have to control it remotely, don't return to Jizhou, Wei State ghost pawn, not eat rice!" Sun Quan reminded the way.

"We understand!"

The two of them warmed their hearts and nodded. (To be continued......)
