Chapter 62: The Strategy of Crossing the Market
Spring is the most beautiful time in Jiangdong, the spring flowers are blooming, the scenery is beautiful, Lu Rui took his henchmen to inspect the construction of the new city by the Moling.
The original Moling City was too small to be used as the seat of Jiangdong, Lu Rui decided to build a new city in the east of the original Moling City as the seat of Jiangdong, the name, Lu Rui has already thought about it, Jianye! It means that Cao Wei has made contributions in Jiangdong.
"Report, General, Lord Liu Ye has returned from Wu County and is waiting to be summoned in the General's Mansion."
"yes, got it." Lu Rui instructed Cao Zhen a few words, and he returned to Moling with his guards.
"Subordinates, see generals."
"Well, Ziyang, what do you gain from inspecting Wu County and meeting on behalf of General Ben?"
"General Hui, Wu Jun and Huiji are still stable, with the support of Gu Yong and Zhu Huan, the Jiangdong family has not done anything excessive, but the Jiangdong family seems to be fighting Shanyue's idea."
"Yamagoe's idea?"
"Yes, the general promulgated the policy of governing Shanyue, and the family in Jiangdong is also implementing it, and at the same time collecting some brave people from Shanyue, expanding them into family soldiers, trying to enter the Shanyue region."
"Oh? The Jiangdong family actually gathered the brave people of Shanyue? Lu Rui touched his chin, these Jiangdong families are much smarter than those in other places, and they know how to use stratagems against the centralizers. Most of the land in Jiangdong Wu County and Huiji was not developed, and as soon as Lu Rui entered Jiangdong, he began to Tuntian, and a lot of ownerless land was nationalized, and Jiangdong land annexation was restricted, and the Jiangdong family actually thought of Shanyue!
"Yuan Zhi, what do you think the Jiangdong family's move has on our army?"
"General, now our army controls Jiangdong Moling. Kure County. Huiji belongs to the three-point force. Moling. The newly opened land is firmly grasped by our army. Kure County, the foundation of the Jiangdong family. Huiji, starting from Emperor Wu, is a place where the Han people and Shanyue live together. The three forces are intertwined in Jiangdong, and if we want to consolidate the rule of our army, we must weaken the power of both. ”
Lu Rui nodded, although the Jiangdong family is powerful. But Xu Shu reminded Lu Rui not to forget Shanyue, Shanyue is not Shanyue in the late Eastern Wu period now, it has been cleaned up and obedient, and Fei Zhan is only the nominal king of Shanyue, and he can't control all the Shanyue tribes. If the family wants to attack, Shanyue can't let it go, so that Cao Jun can gain a foothold in Jiangdong! After all, sinicization is a matter of several lifetimes.。
"What do you suggest?"
"General, the infiltration of the Jiangdong family into Shanyue is beneficial and harmless for our army. The general just had to sit high and wait for the two to clash. Just come out and coordinate again. ”
"Well, that's what Yuan Zhi said." The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, the two forces have fought enough, and Cao Jun will make another move.
"Yuan Zhi, Wu Jun's trip to Huiji, what else is there to report?"
"General, there is one more point, our army needs to be guarded against."
"Yuan Zhi, come and listen?"
"General, our army's policy of opening up the city and the people of Shanyue to Shanyue is often used by the Jiangdong family to use its Shanyue family slaves to obtain the benefits of our army, if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that our army will not have enough military resources."
The so-called Yue Market is a market that Lu Rui allowed to open near Huiji and Wu County. Under the direct control of the Zhendong General's Mansion, high-priced rice and cloth and some daily necessities were exchanged for sea salt, wild beasts, rare treasures, etc., in order to alleviate national contradictions and realize sinicization.
The policy of the Yue people is that the people of Shanyue intermarry with the Han people, and they can be rewarded by the imperial court, and there are preferential or rewards in serving in the army, dividing fields, and marrying.
Although Lu Rui had just implemented two policies, not many Shanyue people were willing to try, but they were used by the Jiangdong family. There are a lot of Shanyue slaves and soldiers in the Jiangdong family, and the so-called collection of their elite is used as armor, which is also the fusion strategy of Lu Xun to pacify Shanyue in history. Now it is used by the Jiangdong family, using domestic slaves and domestic soldiers to exchange for materials in the city at a low price, and then enjoy the policy of the Vietnamese people.
"That's a matter of concern." Lu Rui took a sip of tea, the Shanyue slaves and soldiers in the Jiangdong family are Shanyue people by blood, but they are already semi-Sinicized in terms of production and behavior. It is impossible for Lu Rui to divide the clansmen by the mode of production, after all, China uses blood kinship as an important basis for identifying clansmen, and this loophole seems to have been drilled.
"General? Are we going to take action and govern it? ”
"It's definitely going to be governed. Yuanzhi, where are all the materials they have stored in exchange? ”
"Returning to the generals, they will be stored directly in the family's warehouse, and the head of each family will give some compensation to the Shanyue family slaves, taking three and keeping seven."
"Take three and stay seven?" It seems that it is really not distressing to spend your own money, and the family of Jiangdong has begun to show mercy? actually left seven points for the house slave and only took one point for himself.
"Yes, General, that's exactly the case, many of the family's Shanyue slaves and soldiers will actively go to the Yue City every month to exchange for supplies." (According to Lu Rui's rules, the market is only open on the first five days of the month, and there are restrictions on purchases for each person.) )
"Yuan Zhi, have the grain, grass and cloth transported from Fan County arrived?" In order to deal with the predicament in Jiangdong, Lu Rui transferred a large number of materials from Fan County, and business still has to be done!
"Back to the Hou Ye, I just arrived in Moling yesterday, and my subordinates haven't had time to count yet."
"There is no need to count, it will be transported directly to Yue City, and at the same time, Yuan Zhi will issue a statement in the name of the Zhendong General's Mansion. In order to facilitate the purchase of materials in Shanyue, our army decided to open clan procurement in the Yue market next month, so that the clansmen can purchase materials used by the clan as representatives. In the future, clan procurement will be opened in January every year. ”
"This?"
"If the general opens up the clan procurement, I'm afraid the family will flock to it and purchase out our army's military resources!"
"General, although the Jiangdong Shi clan is not as wealthy as Jiangbei, they are also Shi clan, and they must have a lot of savings in the clan."
"Yuan Zhi, General Ben is to let the family in Jiangdong purchase it, and when the time comes, General Ben will want them all to spit it out!" Lu Rui showed a sinister smile, Jiangdong family? If you want to play, let's play!
"General? What do you mean?"
"This thing, I want to see it all in the family's purchase!" After speaking. Lu Rui wrote some words on a piece of Huang Juan in his hand. Then handed it to Xu Shu.
"General Takami. The subordinates understood. ”
"Yuan Zhi retreat, this time our Fan County Hou Ye Mansion can't do a loss-making business."
"Yes, General, my subordinates understand."
The next day, notices were posted in the three cities of Moling, Wu County, and Huiji, and all the families received the news and began to vacate their warehouses. Even build a new warehouse in preparation for the opening of the market next month.
"Yuan sigh, good news, good news!" Zhu Huan came to Gu Yong's house with the notice.
"Hume, why are you so happy?"
"Yuan sigh, have you read the notice in the city, the city will open the clan procurement." Zhu Huan glanced at Gu Yong excitedly.
"Humu, I'm studying this matter, could it be a test for General Zhendong?" Gu Yong touched his chin, did Lu Rui really want to test the financial strength of the Jiangdong family? I'm afraid that when the time comes, Lu Rui's materials will go into the pocket of the Jiangdong family.
"Testing? Yuan sighed. What test? Could it be that General Zhendong will take it back? This is not conducive to the rule of Koto. ”
"Yuan sigh, I have already sent someone to Guangling to purchase sea salt. When will we make a fortune? After receiving the news, the family in Jiangdong immediately went to Guangling and Xuzhou to purchase sea salt, and prepared to exchange for supplies as soon as the market opened.
"Hugh Mu, Yong advises you to restrain yourself, if you suffer a dumb loss, don't blame me." Gu Yong is still sober, now that Cao Jun is still the first to lead Jiangdong, the blood on the soldier's knife is not cold, the Jiangdong family is going to go too far, maybe Sun Ce's disaster will come again.
"Yuan Si, I know this, I'm just making a small profit, don't worry, Yuan Si doesn't participate, forget it, I'll do it myself."
"Hume, remember, don't be greedy!"
Zhu Huan glanced at Gu Yong speechlessly, chatted a few words and left, people who don't make money are rare in the world!
Finally, when the day of the opening of the city came, the large and small families in Jiangdong sent a huge procurement team to pour into the city and purchase all the materials in the city. On the five days of opening, all the supplies were purchased every day, and not even a grain of rice was spared.
"Master, we purchased grain and cloth from a warehouse this time!" The housekeeper reported his procurement results to Zhu Huan.
"The housekeeper did a good job and put them all in the warehouse." Zhu Huan saw so many materials, and he was happy in his heart, the so-called hoarding will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes.
Zhu Huan happily instructed the housekeeper a few words, and then went to watch the song and dance performance, and when he was drunk, he lay in the arms of the concubine. Most of the big and small families in Jiangdong are in the same situation as Zhu Huan, and they are drunk and resting!
"General, general, no, our warehouses are all controlled by the soldiers in the General's Mansion in Zhendong." Early in the morning, the housekeeper ran outside Zhu Huan's room and shouted anxiously.
"What?" Zhu Huan jumped up from the arms of the concubine, stunned, is it really as Gu Yong said, Lu Rui wants to kill? This is unreasonable!
"Sir?" Seeing Zhu Huan's stunned appearance, the housekeeper called Zhu Huan.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Soon, Zhu Huan came to the warehouse in his clan, and Cao Zhen was assigning the army to control the warehouse.
"Brother Zidan!"
"It turned out to be Brother Hugh Mu, Brother Hugh Mu is polite." Cao Zhen returned the salute to Zhu Huan.
"Zidan, what are you?"
"General Zhendong received a secret report that the Jiangdong family had colluded with Sun Quan and plotted to rebel, and we were just doing a routine thing."
"Routine?" Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, can he use it like this for his routine?
"Hugh Mu, don't panic, General Zhendong asked me to take Hugh Mu with me to seize the family of Wu County, Hugh Mu, let's go!" Cao Zhen made a gesture of please.
Zhu Huan has figured out a little bit this time, it is estimated that this is Lu Rui's strategy, but what kind of medicine is sold by Hulu, Zhu Huan is not clear.
"Okay, Zidan, I'll go with you!" Zhu Huan was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to go with Cao Zhen.
When he arrived at a family in Wu County, Cao Zhen looked at the captain at the door and nodded, and the captain immediately understood, and began to search a controlled warehouse with his soldiers.
"My lord, there is a discovery." Soon, several soldiers carried out a bag of rice from the granary, with a yellow silk in it.
"Humu, take a look!" Zhu Huan took Cao Zhen's yellow silk, looked at it, and was shocked, this is actually a document for fornicating with Sun Quan's rebellion, this is a big crime, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, punish the nine clans!
"Push out all the masters of this house and behead them, and confiscate the slaves!" Cao Zhen immediately issued an order to rebel, and it is not too much to convict him of any crime.
"Humu, let's go, let's go somewhere else."
"Okay, Zidan!" Zhu Huan took the yellow silk and led people to follow Cao Zhen to another family, and used the same method to punish the nine clans of the family.
In one day, five small families were copied. Zhu Huan was terrified on the sidelines, but he also understood that these so-called evidence of rebellion must have been Lu Rui's moves, thinking of the warehouse at home, Zhu Huan's heart was cold!
"Humu, that's it for today, tomorrow I'll go and search for other families." Cao Zhen got off the horse, it seemed that Zhu Huan glanced at it, he was really tired today, and it was evening.
"What Zidan said is reasonable, tomorrow we will carry out General Zhendong's military order. Today, the brothers are tired, so it's time to take a break. ”
"Yes, Hugh Mu, please!"
"Zidan, please!" Zhu Huan arched his hand to Cao Zhen and left in a hurry. (To be continued......)
