Six years of the Warring States period.

This year has quietly arrived, this year, the year that Feng is expected to meet, can be regarded as a completely opened the prelude to the competition between the two overlords of Southern Wu and Northern Wei.

Jinling City.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is filled in every corner of the city, even in the royal city, there are festive lights, red lanterns are hung high, and everyone is smiling.

It has been three days since Sun Quan returned to Jinling City.

After he left the northern Xinjiang, he also went to Yuzhou Mountain to inspect the establishment of the East China Sea camp, which was delayed for a few days, but fortunately, he rushed back to Jinling City on the last day of the fifth year of the Warring States Period.

For Sun Quan, it can barely be regarded as being able to hold his wife and children for a relatively stable good year.

During the period of time he left, Jinling City was much quieter than he imagined, and what he expected did not happen after all, which can be regarded as a relief.

He was afraid that Sun Bofu would do something that he couldn't undo.

As it turned out, perhaps he was overthinking, or perhaps he was also suffering from a suspicious illness peculiar to kings.

However, his suspicion was not wrong, but he suspected the wrong person, Sun Ce did not move, but a certain royal family who was guarding the royal tomb was a little impatient.

Of course, now Jinling City is solid, his small actions can't even fight a little wind and waves, and there are no birds to bird him, and in the end he is bored, so he can only go back to guard the tomb in disgrace.

But this incident also made Sun Quan see that Sun Yi was somewhat desperate!

Back in Jinling City, taking advantage of the atmosphere of the New Year, Sun Quan thought that he could rest for at least a few days, but on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Yu asked to see him!

Ordinary officials have at least a few days off in the New Year. But he, the king, didn't even rest well for three days, and was pulled out of Gentle Township.

It's a bit sad.

The Imperial Study.

Sun Quan had a pair of amber blue eyes, as wide as copper bells, and his eyes looked at Zhou Yu, the head of the household, and he had the urge to kill him with his eyes.

"The King. Don't stare at me like that, you'll be under pressure! Zhou Yu ignored his eyes and said indifferently.

"Zhou Gongjin, do you know how difficult it is for Lone to want to have a holiday, even if you don't have a New Year, let Lone have a good year, can't you?"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth.

"The King. It's not that Weichen has the heart to get along with the king, it's really a busy state affair! Zhou Yu said seriously: "The most important thing is that this matter was ordered by the king, and Weichen didn't dare to slack off!" ”

"Say!"

Sun Quan said viciously: "Zhou Yu, if you can't say a ugly act today, Lone will let you know the consequences of offending Lone!" ”

"King, you want to transfer five billion dollars from the household department. How is this calculated? ”

A trick that Zhou Yu is used to is deadly.

When Sun Quan heard this, his face suddenly collapsed. The tone also became much softer: "Brother Gongjin, didn't you just borrow five billion from you, you used it so ruthlessly, you won't let me live even a year!" ”

"King, five billion dollars, that's one-third of our annual taxes!"

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth twitched: "You said it lightly." The treasury should have been a little tight, and if it was withdrawn by 5 billion at once, many of the plans of the household department today will be shelved! “

"I don't want to be lonely, but I have to use it!" Sun Quan said helplessly: "If the household department doesn't pay some money, it can't give the Northland Chamber of Commerce confidence." I can't borrow tens of billions of money from major chambers of commerce! ”

The representative of the household department is the court, and if the court cannot show self-confidence, several chambers of commerce will definitely not have confidence in this economic war.

The most important thing is that if the Northland Chamber of Commerce can't see the sincerity of the court, they will keep a hand and dare not use all their strength.

"Wang, do you think they can collapse Jizhou's economy?" Zhou Yu also knew Sun Quan's plan, and said with some suspicion: "I'm a little afraid, five billion dollars have been wasted!" ”

"Have some faith in them!"

Sun Quan's eyes bloomed with a touch of hunting and hunting: "The princes have always been clear knives and guns, and the means of economic warfare have never appeared, so let Cao Mengde see, even if Wu State does not send troops, it can fight them Wei State for thousands of miles, so that Jizhou will not be able to live in peace!" ”

"Hopefully they'll succeed!"

Zhou Yu nodded heavily, once this battle is successful, even sending troops to take Hejian will make Wei Guo suffer a lot, which is enough for them to stop for several years.

"King, the new tax regulations should be implemented this year!"

Zhou Yu only made his intentions clear at this time, and said: "Last year, the country of Wu was in turmoil, and I am still a little afraid that changing taxes at this time will cause unease among the people, so I want to delay it!" ”

Taxation has always been the link between the court and the people, if there are too many taxes, the bond will be broken, but if the taxes are light, the treasury will not be able to make ends meet.

Grasping such a degree is the most difficult thing in all dynasties.

"The new system must be boldly tried, and this tax system is mainly in commercial tax and agricultural tax!" Sun Quan said lightly: "I believe that the current economy of Wu can afford it, and it will be implemented immediately." ”

"No!"

Zhou Yu looked at the firmness in Sun Quan's eyes, and nodded helplessly.

The new tax rules made him always a little hesitant, and since Sun Quan was so decisive, he had nothing to say.

"Brother Gongjin, I heard that when Gu left Jinling, the household department and the Ministry of Industry had a little unpleasant quarrel!"

Sun Quan said suddenly.

"It's a bit unpleasant!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Liu Shangshu opened his mouth, Nanjin Chi Road has just been completed, he actually wants to build three main gallop roads, connect Jinling City to Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Dongzhi Chi Road at the same time, he doesn't want to think about whether the treasury can hold it!" ”

"Build roads, that's right!"

Sun Quan sighed and said, "But Ziyang does have some lions who have opened their mouths!" ”

"He's a lion with a big mouth, but he's waiting for me to land and pay back!" Zhou Yu's face twitched slightly, and said: "The most important thing for him is that he just hopes that the household department will approve the approval of Jin Dongchi Road, and the rest is a disguise!" ”

"Huh!" When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, Liu Ye meant that he was going to fight with Zhou Yu, he looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "His idea is good, you were fooled?" ”

"One was careless, and he was fooled!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The household department has approved!" ”

"It's rare that someone as smart and cautious as you Zhou Gongjin will be fooled!"

Sun Quan glanced at him suspiciously.

"Liu Ziyang is indeed a talent, and at the cabinet meeting, he was dumbfounded!"

Zhou Yu raised his head, looked at Sun Quan, and sighed: "I thought that the king promoted him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, just because of his Mojia craftsmanship, but now it seems that the king is really outstanding!" ”

Just because of the process, I can't do a book, the Ministry of Industry, manage the construction of bridges and roads across the country, and there are so many workshops, the right is great.

"What's the mood in the Cabinet right now?" Sun Quan thought for a moment and asked.

The cabinet was established by him and used to rule the whole country, and the cabinet adapted to the state of Wu, so that the state of Wu could be truly stable.

The cabinet system has been ruling the world for a little while.

The response was not bad.

But in the cabinet, there are a lot of disputes, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao have already opened the curtain of war, confronting each other, which is also a situation that Sun Quan wants to see.

"It's fine!" Zhou Yu was expressionless, and said lightly: "Zhang Shoufu can barely control the overall situation of the cabinet!" ”

"Reluctantly?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his expression was a little different, he squinted slightly, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "In this way, he can't control the situation in the cabinet!" ”

"As long as Gu Yong is still on his side, he can still stabilize the situation!" Zhou Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Of course, if Gu Yong is on Weichen's side, he, the first assistant, will have to give way!" ”

"Gu Yong won't stand with you anymore!"

Sun Quan said with certainty.

"Wechen also understands!" Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "In fact, the current situation in the cabinet is the best situation, the situation that Zhang Zhao wants to see, the situation I want to see, and the situation that the king wants to see. ”

"You're getting more and more aware of politics!"

Sun Quan stood up, put his hands behind his back, his deep eyes burst out with a touch of essence, and said: "Wu Guo is about to enter Sichuan, so Lone will not let anyone destroy the stability of the country, before the unification of the world, as long as Zhang Zhao does not make mistakes, he will sit firmly in the cabinet!" ”

The beginning of the sixth year of the Warring States period was also the beginning of the wings of his Sun Quan's eagle.

Irikawa will be his first step! (To be continued......)
