Guan Feng's face was flushed, but he just nodded, but he was embarrassed to agree. Sun Shao was not ashamed at all, and on the side of the bridge, there was no word of gossip. The three members of the family were talking happily, Sun Shangxiang strode in, and when he saw them, he smiled and said, "Aman, newlywed Yan'er, don't forget your official duties." ”

Sun Shao disagreed: "I have any official business, my task now is to accompany my mother at home, accompany my wife, and hurry up to complete the task that my mother just assigned." ”

"What task can be more important than official business!" Sun Shangxiang saluted Daqiao, took Guan Feng's hand with one hand, and looked up and down a few times: "Girl, I didn't expect us to meet again and become a family, right?" Hey, hey, hey, see where you're going this time. ”

Guan Feng and Sun Shangxiang used to be acquaintances, although she was still young at that time, but seeing Sun Shangxiang in Jianye gave her a sense of intimacy of meeting her old acquaintances in a foreign country. She hurriedly saluted Sun Shangxiang, and then spoke affectionately. Sun Shangxiang was not polite, sat down to have breakfast together, anyway, the breakfast in Sun Shao's house was delicious, and she didn't come here for a day or two, and now her best friend Guan Feng has become her nephew and daughter-in-law again, and she came even more naturally.

"What official business?" While eating breakfast, Sun Shao asked dissatisfiedly: "I just got married, why don't you let me have a honeymoon?" ”

"It's none of mine." Sun Shangxiang ate violently, and said with a heartless smile: "The big war is coming, what else do you want to spend on your honeymoon?" My brother has just sent an order for you to escort the first batch of new wine to the Wet Whisker Wood camp today. ”

Sun Shao was stunned, he thought he had heard it wrong, looked at Sun Shangxiang and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Let you escort the first batch of new wine to the camp at Wet Whisker Wood." Sun Shangxiang put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and rolled his eyes: "Did you hear clearly this time?" ”

"Let me escort the new wine to the camp?" Sun Shao was a little confused. said that it was tense during the war, and he believed it, but Sun Quan really wanted him to go to the camp? Is it just escorting wine or is there something else?

"There may be something else." Sun Shangxiang also frowned: "I originally said that I should go, but the messenger said that the order was given to you, and it was up to you to go, so I had to rush over early in the morning." ”

Sun Shao didn't say anything more, and lowered his head to eat. The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, Sun Shangxiang felt a little embarrassed, said hello and ran away, Guan Feng didn't know why, he didn't have much to say, so he had to drink porridge quietly. Daqiao's brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at Sun Shao with some worry.

The long convoy slowly drove into the camp, Sun Shao asked Zhang Wen to arrange for someone to send a jar of wine to the baggage camp, and he saluted with the Chinese Sima Zhuge Jin who greeted him, pointed to the cart full of boxes behind him and said: "I have some things to offer to the Supreme, please watch carefully, don't let people move." ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, he was ordered by Sun Quan to welcome Sun Shao, but Sun Shao arranged for him to look at the box here, as if it was a little inappropriate, but Sun Shao said it solemnly, and he didn't dare not listen, so he had to stay aside with some grievances. Sun Shao took two steps, turned around again, and laughed softly: "Ling Lang is very good in Chengdu. Then before Zhuge Jin could react, he walked quickly.

Sun Quan looked at the radiant Sun Shao striding over, and was a little stunned in a trance, as if he saw his brother Sun Ce, who had just accepted the National Color Bridge and was beaming, and the envy with some jealousy was in front of him at that time.

"Supreme." Sun Shao walked up to Sun Quan and bowed.

"Oh, Bong-first." Sun Quan disguised his laughter: "I will let you come to the camp today, you didn't complain that I was not kind, right?" ”

Of course complain, you don't have a surname. Sun Shao had already scolded in his heart, but there was a sincere look on his face: "How dare Shao." The war is imminent, and the ministers of Jiangdong are preparing for war intensely, and I, as the supreme courtier, should take national affairs first. ”

"Well, it's always good to have such a heart." Sun Quan glanced at him and pointed to the seat in front of him: "Sit, I have something to tell you." ”

Sun Shao didn't sit down, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, put them on Sun Quan's bookcase full of Jian Ce, and pushed them in front of Sun Quan with both hands. Sun Quan was writing with a pen, and when he saw Sun Shao's actions, he was a little surprised: "What is it?" ”

"Gift list." Sun Shao sat down on the table and said softly: "All the gifts received at the wedding." ”

Sun Quan was taken aback, put down the pen, looked for a look at the paper, and the money on it was clearly written, who paid how much money, or what kind of valuables, one item was clear.

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Quan was even more puzzled, could it be that Sun Shao reported to him who gave him more gifts?

Sun Shao smiled very shyly: "The big war is imminent, the Supreme plans at night, the ministers offer wisdom, and the generals serve their lives, as a prince, I am deeply favored by the Supreme, but because of my dull qualifications, I can't gain anything." However, I also want to share the sorrows of the Supreme One, so I bring all the financial gifts I received yesterday to the Supreme as a sign of my heart. ”

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shao, and was a little unsure whether Sun Shao was true or not, if he was sincere, then he was really too generous. The list is clearly written, and all the financial gifts add up to 3,000 gold, which is not a small amount of money.

"Fengxian, what are you?" Sun Quan wanted to laugh, but he felt that he couldn't laugh. "This is your wedding gift, how can you ......?"

Sun Shao shook his head: "I know it's a lot of money. If I had changed to before, I would definitely be reluctant to take it out, after all, it may be money that I will never earn in my life. But now it's different, I have the Supreme Protection, and the annual wine money is enough for me to live comfortably, and this money is no longer of much use to me. And the Supreme has a lot of money to use here, under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, if this money can raise one or two warriors for the Supreme to frustrate Cao Ying's spirit, it is also good. He bowed sincerely: "I have brought all the things, please accept them." ”

Sun Quan let out a long breath, since Sun Shao had already brought the things, it seemed that he was sincere. Whether he really wants to help, or wants to take the opportunity to negotiate conditions, this is not a bad thing for him, with these three thousand gold, he can indeed do a lot of things.

"Then I'll take it." Sun Quan rolled up the list and handed it to Sun Shao next to him, showing a gentle smile: "You have given all your financial gifts at once, and your intentions are naturally good, but I can't lose you." Tell me how I should reward you. ”

Sun Shao hesitated.

Sun Quan smiled, raised his hand and signaled Sun Shao not to be nervous: "Don't have any worries, I can agree, of course it's okay, if you can't agree, I won't give it to you." ”

Sun Shao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I want a boat, preferably a sea ship that can go to sea." ”

"Sea vessels?" Sun Quan originally thought that Sun Shao would be an official, and even wanted other rewards, but he didn't expect him to ask for a boat, which was inevitably a little surprising. He and Sun Shao glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Sun Shao was a little excited, he took two steps forward, looking like he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and the respect and restraint just now were all gone. "Uncle, I saw a lot of good things in Chengdu, alas, you don't know, we sell ten gold and one horse of good Shu brocade here, and only one gold and one horse are sold there. Also, those silver lacquerware are much cheaper than ours, and the profits in them are huge. Before I came back, I told my uncle that I would give him the liquor seller in Chengdu, exchange it with him for something from Chengdu, and then transport it back to sell, this time and back for a maximum of two months, and if I didn't pay taxes along the way, a boatload would have at least 300 gold profits. Ho, not much, I go back and forth three times a year, and it is safe to earn thousands of dollars. ”

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shao who was dancing with his eyebrows, all the questions just now disappeared, Sun Shao was fascinated by money, he gave the three thousand gold, it was not as simple as sending money, he was in order to make more money, he had already asked for a concession from Liu Bei, and now he came to ask him for a concession. With these two concessions, he traveled all the way up and down the river, without any taxes, and earned back the 3,000 gold in a few years.

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shao with a smile, pinched his fingers, and slowly let go: "It's a good idea to do business in Chengdu, but what do you want to do with a sea boat?" ”

"Uncle doesn't know." Sun Shao jumped up all of a sudden, and was about to speak, as if he had found that he had lost his temper again, so he quickly stopped talking, sat down in a proper manner, and laughed twice in embarrassment. Sun Quan was amused by him, waved his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't pretend to be old, hurry up, what do you want the sea boat to do, it makes sense, I'll give you a few sea boats, it's unreasonable, and there is not a single plank." ”

"I want to go to sea to do business, go to Jiaozhou, go to Liaodong, go to Goguryeo, go to Nanyang." Sun Shao said several places in one breath: "Uncle, I want to make a lot of money, and then transport back boatloads of grain and war horses for my uncle." ”

"War horses?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up

"Exactly." Sun Shao put away his smile and said seriously: "Liaodong is bitterly cold, what we think is very ordinary here, but it is very valuable there, especially for those Hu people on the grassland, whether it is our silk or wine, it is a good thing they dream of." They don't have anything else, but they have a lot of horses, which are just right for us to do business. If there are thousands of cavalry under his uncle's account, even if Cao Ying comes, what is there to worry about? Sun Shao said as he patted his chest loudly, looking very righteous.

Sun Quan nodded again and again, his heart pounding. Sun Shao's suggestion hit his soft underbelly at once and made him want to stop. He is very clear about the role of the cavalry, when Cao Ying personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry from Xiangyang all the way to Dangyang, defeated Liu Bei in one fell swoop, easily took Nanjun, and gave full play to the power of the cavalry, this matter has always been a shadow in his heart. He clearly remembered how happy Zhou Yu was when he fought Cao Ren in Nanjun and sent him back three hundred war horses. The reason why Jiangdong lacks the most is war horses, and the reason why he does not dare to attack Huainan and Xuzhou in depth now is because he does not have enough war horses, and he has no way to fight back in the face of Cao Ying's cavalry coming and going. If Sun Shao could really transport back a large number of war horses for him, then he would not hesitate to give Sun Shao a few ships.

"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to get it done." Although Sun Quan was moved, he had not lost his mind, he leaned over, patted Sun Shao's shoulder and said, "Fengxian, you wait for me to discuss it with you, and then give you an answer, okay?" ”

Sun Shao nodded: "This is natural." The minister waits for the supreme good news. After speaking, he bowed: "The Supreme said that there is a great opportunity, and the minister will not bother, and will retire first." ”

As soon as Sun Quan saw that Sun Shao was leaving, he remembered the purpose of his coming to him, he patted his head in annoyance, and stopped Sun Shao with a smile: "Fengxian, you wait a while before leaving, I have something to tell you." ”

Sun Shao stopped and looked at Sun Quan puzzled, as if he was surprised.

"The big war is imminent, I have sent out all the soldiers I can send out, the tent is empty, and I am really not at ease if there is no intimate person to protect me. You are a man of great force, so stay with me. Sun Quan said unquestionably, his tone was very direct, obviously he did not intend to have any discussion with Sun Shao on this issue.

"Me?" Sun Shao showed a hesitant look.

"As a captain, you should be responsible for guarding the Supreme, and besides, the guards under the tent are related to the safety of the Supreme, what an important duty this is. Supreme, because you are a prince and a credible person, this is why you are left and right, why do you still refuse? Sun Shao gave Guan Yu a dowry gift, and he was more familiar with Sun Shao along the way, plus he was older, so he scolded him like an elder at the moment.

Sun Shao's face flushed, and he stammered and explained: "It's not that I don't know what to do. But...... But I just got married, how can I have the heart to take on such a heavy task at this time? If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be ......"

Both Sun Quan and Sun Shao were amused by Sun Shao. Sun Quan pointed at Sun Shao and smiled so incoherently: "Zhuzi, I know that you are newly married, but the young man is in the ring, how can you not know moderation?" He thought for a moment and smiled again: "That's it, I can't be unreasonable by you." Anyway, your wife also has a good martial arts, so let her come with her, let your aunt come too, and they will be responsible for the safety of your wife and the big tiger and the little tiger. That's all right, right? ”

Sun Shao touched his head and nodded a little reluctantly.

"You kid, the Supreme takes care of you so much, aren't you grateful?" Sun Shaoqiang couldn't help but laugh and said in a deep voice.

Sun Shao muttered two sentences, but Sun Quan didn't hear clearly, and glanced at Sun Shao with suspicion. Sun Shao blushed and laughed dryly: "Come to the camp, you can't sleep anymore." And...... With so many people watching, where is there a convenient home? ”

Sun Quan looked at Sun Shao angrily and funny, barely held back for a while, and finally didn't hold back, jumped up, raised his hand to Sun Shao, and scolded happily: "Shaft, it's a good time, how can it be used to sleep lazy?" ”

Sun Shao quickly rushed out of the big tent, and the smug laughter came from afar: "The joy of life, but sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp." Supreme, I'll go back and sleep well for two days before I come back on an errand. ”

Sun Quan laughed again, turned back and forth in the tent twice, turned to look at Sun Shao, and there was no smile on his face: "Gongxu, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Sun Shao also looked serious: "The minister thinks it's feasible." It's just that if you want to do business in Liaodong, the wind and waves are urgent, and you can't play with it. ”

"Well, since he has this heart, I can't let him down." Sun Quan tilted his head slightly, looked at the bottom of the blue-black tent, and let out a long sigh: "If it can really work, then it is not a good thing." ”
