07 Yizhou Vault

After Sun Shangxiang arrived in Soochow, he knew that it was Sun Quan who was cheating, and his mother Wu Guotai was in good health. If you want to return to Western Shu, you have no choice but to stop Dongwu in every possible way, and you can't return to Shu. Since then, Sun Shangxiang has often lived on the ship, training the navy all day long, waiting for opportunities to act.

In 217 AD, Lu Su was seriously ill and made a secret appointment with Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang brought lotus leaves and water chestnuts to visit Lu Mansion.

Sun Shangxiang saw that Lu Su was sick and tired, and couldn't help but feel sad: "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a few years, how can you be so sick?" ”

Lu Su said to the left and right: "You stand down." ”

Stand back left and right.

Lu Su said to the Fuso samurai beside him, "Jiro-kun, please wait outside and don't allow anyone to disturb you." ”

Miki Jiro bowed and retreated.

Lu Su looked at the lotus leaf and water chestnut again.

Sun Shangxiang said to the two: "Our brothers and sisters have their own words. Go outside and watch first, and let no one disturb you. ”

Lotus leaves, water chestnut exit.

Lu Su said calmly: "The day before yesterday, Hua Tuo's disciples wanted to go north, so they came to see the foolish brother and gave him three boxes of pills, one pill a day, and after three boxes, he could only obey the mandate of heaven and ask for more blessings." ”

Sun Shangxiang was shocked and said, "Brother Lu-"

Lu Su said: "Sister Shang Xiangxian, you and I are brother and sister, don't you talk about it freely?" It's better than crying and crying on the mourning hall. ”

Sun Shangxiang cried and said, "Brother Lu, you can't die!" You still owe me, how can you die? ”

Lu Su smiled: "What do you owe you for my brother?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "You owe me!" You owe me a home, and you have to give me back. ”

Lu Su smiled: "Why do you say this? ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Brother Lu, you just owe me a home." When the little sister married Liu Bei, she was a big matchmaker made by Brother Lu. Now you look at the little sister, the mother's family that is close in front of you can't go back, and the husband's family who is far away in Xishu can't return. Wandering the rivers and lakes on the boat all year round and all month, where is home, when will my little sister have a home? ”

Lu Su smiled: "I knew you said this. The foolish brother has long seen coldly that the virtuous sister's mother's family can't go back, and the husband's family can't return, so he has long wanted to buy a new home for the little sister, I don't know what the little sister wants? ”

Sun Shangxiang sneered: "Brother Lu made a big media a while ago, and let my sister be the mother of the country. Now I want to be a matchmaker for my sister, and I can't play a big drama about my mother's remarriage? ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Virtuous sister Wanjin Guiti, how dare you do such a ridiculous thing for your brother?" I think my sister is heroic, even if she is the queen of a country, she has also done it. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Why be the queen of a country, my little sister just wants to have a peaceful home, family happiness, happiness and happiness, and she will be content." ”

Lu Su said: "Okay! For the brother, you will be the one who will be you. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Brother Lu said it very lightly, don't you want to coax the little sister?" ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Sister Xian has known her brother since she was a child, have you ever seen her brother coaxing people?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "I've known each other since childhood, but I've never seen Brother Lu coax people. ”

Lu Su said: "The reason why Brother Wei wants to keep his eyes open is to tell you a secret that no one knows. Listen to me, but don't divulge it. ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded.

Lu Su said: "My brother has been studying since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he went out to do business, and when he was about twenty years old, he was rich." At that time, your brother Zhou Lang was heroic, pointing out the country, and had great ambitions. So the foolish brother gave him half of his men and half of his wealth. Your brother Zhou Lang is really extraordinary, and at the age of eighteen, he became the official of the Eastern Wu General. Later, he commanded the entire army of Eastern Wu and fought against Chibi, which made him famous for all generations. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "It turns out that Brother Zhou Lang raised the army as a young man, and it was all thanks to Brother Lu's help. ”

Lu Su nodded.

Sun Shangxiang asked: "Brother Lu has always been poor and indifferent as an official, why don't you see the other half of Brother Lu's people and the other half of his family wealth?" ”

Lu Su said: "The other half of the people are also there, and the other half of the family wealth is also there, of course, this is the secret that my brother wants to tell Xianmei." As a brother, he looks at money and power very lightly. I only hope to help useful people, achieve a career, and benefit the people of Limin. The first half of the brother has helped Zhou Lang achieve fame through the ages, and the second half wants to find a new home for the virtuous sister. ”

Lu Su saw that Sun Shangxiang was silent, so he said again: "Didn't the little sister ever think of doing business for her brother and young man, in just a few years, why can she get this ten million times the profit, and the rich side is on the first side?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "My little sister is asking this question, lest she be surprised." ”

Lu Su said: "The origin of this, even your brother Zhou Lang doesn't know, and now I only tell Xian Mei alone." ”

Sun Shangxiang's eyes widened and said, "Brother Mo Feilu has another adventure?" ”

Lu Su Zhengse said: "Wang Mang of the previous dynasty usurped the government, implemented a new policy, and ordered the people of the world to hand over the gold and not to disobey. After Wang Mang collected the world's gold, he hid it in four places. One of them was obtained by the brother. is one of the four golden cellars in the world, so he was able to fund Zhou Lang to raise troops for his brother. The other half is set for the security of the country. For his brother, he ordered the other half of the men and horses to go to sea for 2,000 miles, and stationed troops in Yizhou, thinking that they could attack and retreat. After more than ten years of governance, Yizhou has gradually become stable and prosperous, not as deserted as when it first arrived. For the elder brother's governance in Yizhou, all to rest and recuperate, without all kinds of taxes, to feed back to build roads and bridges, and continue to hire 36 lines of craftsmen and craftsmen, has become a city, the countryside has long been self-sufficient. For his brother, he is about to die, and he wants to entrust this worldly home to the management of his virtuous sister. The virtuous sister is young and capable, and she will be able to take on this important responsibility. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "The little sister only wants to have a stable home, and she doesn't want to manage Ruoda Yizhou. ”

Lu Su said: "Yizhou has sent a governance officer. All military affairs were governed by General Lu Wei, and there was no war, except for patrolling pirates and arresting those who were traitors. All local agricultural, industrial and commercial chores were managed by General Singer. If the younger sister is willing to submit to Yizhou, General Xinge will hand over the silver treasury to the virtuous sister, and let the sister dispose of it for the benefit of one party. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Rong Xiaomei thinks carefully. ”

Lu Su said: "My time is short, and I don't allow my sister to think about it for a long time." I have already arranged: General Lu Wei and the patriarch of the mountain tribe have set up a permanent station in Wuqiao Port at Jiangkou, one is to trade ironware, cloth and other things that are commonly needed in Yizhou, the second is to continue to recruit various skilled people to enrich the livelihood of Yizhou, and the third is to welcome the virtuous sister at any time. There is one letter, one business, and all of them are explained in the book. ”

Lu Su handed over a letter to Sun Shangxiang.

Lu Su called, "Jiro-kun." ”

Jiro Miki came out in response.

Lu Su said: "Please take out the Yizhou banana and ask the princess to taste it." ”

Miki Jiro took out the banana, and Lu Su peeled the skin for Sun Shangxiang.

Lu Su said: "Sister Xian, please use it." ”

Sun Shangxiang saw Lu Su like this, and tears fell down one by one.

Lu Su pointed at Miki Jiro and said: "Jiro-kun, Miki Jiro, Fuso Ronin, have been following me for five years, extremely faithful, and familiar with maritime affairs. Now that the foolish brother recommends the virtuous sister, what does the virtuous sister think? ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded.

Lu Su said to Miki Jiro: "Jiro-kun, I don't have much time, and now I recommend you to follow the princess, are you willing?" ”

Miki Jiro replied, "Hai." After bowing to Lu Sushen, he stood behind Sun Shangxiang.

Lu Su sighed with emotion: "Wang Mang searched all the world's gold,

One of the four cellars is respected.

Half of Soochow established the national industry,

Half of Yizhou Fudixing. “”

Sun Shangxiang said with tears: "The little sister is shallow and doesn't know Yizhou, please ask Brother Lu Su to enlighten the little sister." ”

Lu Su said: "Yizhou is in the southeast of Linhai, 2,000 miles to the county, and its island is on the sea, 400 miles from east to west, and 900 miles from north to south. The four masks are mountain grumbles. The land is free of frost and snow, the grass and trees are immortal, the land is fertile, there are not only grains, but also many fish and meat, and there are many fruits of all colors, it is a blessed land! ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "If the war has been raging for a long time today, who doesn't want to settle down in a happy land?" Why does no one know about such a blessed land? ”

Lu Su said: "In the midst of the war, the population of various states and counties is decreasing day by day. Officials in various localities have made it their achievements to increase household registration and collect more taxes. The government has always regarded Yizhou as a secret and cannot be spread to the outside world, so few people know about it, and only a few businesses in the private sector know about it. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked: "Birds choose good trees and trees, and people choose blessed land to live, what is the secret?" ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Xian Mei led the army heroically, but she never served as a local official, so I don't know." The increase or decrease of household registration is the first factor in the performance appraisal of officials, but when the number of household registration increases, the political performance is excellent. If the number of people in the household registration decreases suddenly, the political performance is poor. Therefore, officials in various localities are very jealous of the emigration of the population, and they do everything possible to obstruct it, and even charge the emigrants with collaborating with the enemy and defecting, and escort them back to their hometowns. ”

Sun Shangxiang was surprised: "There is such a political matter. ”

Lu Su said: "The foolish brother is also from Linhuai Dongcheng. In order to move to Jiangdong, he led more than 300 family members, the weak in the front, and the strong in the back. Sure enough, the state cavalry pursuers arrived. After Lu Su's palace, he said to the state cavalry: 'Today's world is in chaos, there is a reward for meritorious service, and there is no punishment if you don't chase it, what is the coercion? Then he set his shield upright on the ground, and shot it with his bow, and the arrows pierced through the shield. The state cavalry saw that there was nothing to eat, so Ren Wei led the people across the Jiangdong as his brother. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "It turns out that Brother Lu was so brave back then, no wonder those state cavalry were helpless and saw Brother Lu cross Jiangdong." ”

Lu Su said: "The old past, it is not worth mentioning, because the virtuous sister asked about the emigration, and only then did she know." This is a blessed man, so that he may move to a blessed land. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked: "Now that the heroes are divided, is such a fertile land not coveted?" ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "Xian Mei must be a heroine among women, and she should have this question." ”

Lu Su paused, Sun Shangxiang moved closer to listen, Lu Su said: "Yizhou has been inhabited for a long time, and the governments of previous dynasties often sent personnel to inspect and manage, but they were all secret. A small number of merchants come and go, and they all regard themselves as the secrets of the trading house and do not tell anyone about it. But whenever the Central Plains is in turmoil and the people are struggling to make a living, there are groups of people who emigrate. Once you enjoy the joy of living in paradise, how can you return to the land of war? For example, when Qin Shi Huang ****, and after Wang Mang usurped the throne, a large number of people emigrated. Recently, from the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the king of grass set up a mountain, and the war was raging for decades, and the people who moved to Yizhou to avoid disasters were naturally increasing. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Is it time for Brother Lu to move half of his people and half of his family wealth to Yizhou?" ”

Lu Su said: "Foolish brother is slightly earlier. The people of Yizhou are extremely pure and good. The foolish brother does not set up taxes, but feeds back the funds for building roads and bridges, all of which are mainly for recuperation, so Yizhou is very stable and has shown the appearance of wealth. In time, it will become a land of fish and rice. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked, "Didn't the treacherous person take advantage of the void to enter?" ”

Lu Su smiled: "What's the point? Since the death of your brother Zhou Lang, the foolish brother is in charge of the seal of the governor, such as today's three-thirds of the momentum has been achieved, Dongwu relies on your brother Sun Quan to farm the valley, the law of retreating and resting the people, more like the phoenix reborn from the fire, stable and rich more than the war, there is already a great certainty. If there is something going on in Yizhou in the southeast, the navy can arrive on the fifth or sixth day. Since the Battle of Chibi, the Dongwu naval army has been invincible in the world, so no one has dared to invade the territory so far. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked again: "What about the pirate and the thief?" ”

Lu Su Zhengse said: "Yizhou was originally a deserted place and unprofitable, so the pirates and thieves disdained it. Recently, Yizhou has become more and more prosperous, and pirates have harassed it from time to time. General Lu Wei recently reported: From time to time, pirate ships attacked merchant ships coming and going from Huiji, Linhai, and Yizhou, and more than a dozen people were killed. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked again: "Do you know the origin of pirates?" ”

Lu Su nodded and said, "Most of the pirates come from the north, and there are also a few unscrupulous people in Eastern Wu as eyeliners. ”

Lu Su glanced at Miki Jiro and said, "There are also a few Japanese who are accomplices in the pirates. ”

Miki Jiro immediately bowed and said, "The way of the samurai is based on faithfulness, and there are also traitors and criminals in the Humble Country, and they are all arrested. ”

Lu Su continued: "According to all kinds of information, the grandson of Liaodong seems to have bad intentions, and the virtuous sister must guard against his actions as an official and a bandit. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked: "Gongsun of Liaodong, isn't he the self-proclaimed King of Yan?" ”

Lu Su said: "Exactly." ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded and said, "Little sister has written it down." ”

Lu Su said to Miki Jiro: "Please wait outside Jiro-kun's door, I will say goodbye to the princess's brothers and sisters." ”

Miki Jiro bowed and retreated.

Lu Su and Sun Shangxiang poured wine and said: "For my brother, I got one of Wang Mang's four cellars of gold, and I know that this treasure belongs to the people of the world, and I don't dare to think about it, so I don't pass it on to my descendants, so as not to be in vain, and I don't make a difference." The heaven-given treasure and me will be a false hand for the benefit of the people of the world. I used half of this gold to get a peaceful land in Soochow with Zhou Lang. I am very relieved to see that the land of Soochow is thriving and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. This half of the treasure is really worth it. ”

Lu Su said to Sun Shangxiang: "Let's have a toast for this." Zhou Lang has a spirit in the sky, please also have a drink. "Drink on the ground.

Lu Su saw that Sun Shangxiang had drunk it, so he said again: "The half of the treasure in Yizhou, for more than ten years, has actually only used a dime. For his brother, he exchanged part of the gold into silver taels, and handed it over to General Xinge to be stored in the silver mountain for daily expenses. Most of the gold is stored in the gold mountains. General Singh didn't know anything about it either. Not long ago, my brother still had a trip, and I took advantage of the fun to watch the scenery and inspect it, but no one touched it, and the foolish brother was also relieved, and he just wanted to give this treasure to the virtuous sister completely. Wangxian Mei will use this treasure to benefit the people of Yizhou in the future, and also make this half of the treasure worthwhile. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "With such a heavy responsibility, my little sister may not be able to bear it." ”

Lu Su said: "I have been planning for my brother for a long time, and I have been doing business for a long time. Only virtuous girls can be trusted, and no one is more suitable. ”

Lu Su raised his glass and said: "Come, you and my brother and sister will toast again, and say goodbye forever. ”

Sun Shangxiang tearfully held the cup and said, "Brother Lu Su! "Drink it all.

Lu Su was relieved, happy and relaxed, and handed Sun Shangxiang a piece of paper and said: "This is the treasure map of Jinshan, after the virtuous sister finds the golden cave, she will immediately burn it to avoid trouble." ”

In 217 A.D., Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, died. "Book of Wu" said: Su is strict, less than playing ornaments, frugal inside and outside, and not vulgar. To manage the army and rectify, the ban must be enforced, although he is in the array, he cannot let go of the book. He is also good at talking, can belong to the rhetoric, think far-reaching, and have excellent insight.
