Seventeen Yizhou Vaults

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. Sun Shangxiang wanted to return to Western Shu, but Zhuge Liang of Shu Han did not send a minister to pick him up, and Eastern Wu was obstructed in every possible way and could not return to Shu. Since then, Sun Shangxiang has lived on the ship, training the two ships under her command all day long, waiting for opportunities to act.

In 217 AD, Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, 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 disciple Doctor Hua Yu was going north, and he came to see Brother Yu. Doctor Hua Yu gave his brother three boxes of pills and instructed him to take one pill a day, and after three boxes, he could only obey the destiny 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, wouldn't you be free and easy to talk about this?" It's better than crying and crying in the mourning hall, cheesy. ”

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

Sun Shangxiang was able to wait in Soochow with peace of mind because of the presence of the Metropolitan Governor Lu Su (Lu Su was the only one among the ministers of Soochow who understood and supported the Sun-Liu Alliance), and Lu Su was Sun Shangxiang's important spiritual support. If Lu Su is gone, Sun Shangxiang will be sad.

Lu Su smiled and said, "What do you owe you for my brother?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "You owe me! You owe me a home, you have to pay 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. All year round, wandering the rivers and lakes on the boat, where is home, when will the little sister and the female soldiers and sisters in the women's barracks have a home? ”

Lu Su nodded and smiled: "I have long known that Sister Xian said this. Alas, Zhuge Liang seems to be extremely smart, but he didn't expect to be so intolerant of talents! 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 put a new home for the little sister and the sisters, 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?" ”

Lu Su looked at Sun Shangxiang carefully, and said seriously: "For my brother, I see that my virtuous sister is heroic, even if she is the queen of a country, she has also done it." ”

Sun Shangxiang said with tears in her eyes: "Why should Sun Shangxiang be the queen of a country, my little sister just wants to have a peaceful home, be with all the sisters, share the joy of family, be happy and happy, and be content." ”

Lu Su's words sounded casual, but he was actually a serious test of Sun Shangxiang's ambitions.

When Lu Su heard Sun Shangxiang's answer at this time, the doubts in his heart were completely put down, and he nodded gently.

Lu Su said affirmatively: "Good! 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 nodded and said: "Sun Shangxiang has known Brother Lu since he was a child, but he has never seen Brother Lu coax people. ”

Lu Su Zhengse 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 seriously: "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 nodded and said: "It turns out that Brother Zhou Lang raised the army as a young man, and it all depends on 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 nodded and said: "Lu Su's half of the people are still there, and the other half of the family wealth is of course there, 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 being a brother has helped Zhou Lang achieve fame through the ages, and the second half wants to find a new home for the virtuous sisters and sisters. ”

Lu Su saw that Sun Shangxiang was silent, so he said again: "Didn't Sister Xian 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 nodded and said, "The little sister is asking this, lest she be abrupt." ”

Lu Su said solemnly: "Even your brother Zhou Lang doesn't know the origin, and now he only tells Sister Xian." ”

Sun Shangxiang widened his eyes and asked, "Brother Mo Feilu has another adventure?" ”

Lu Su Zhengse said: "Wang Mang usurped the government in the previous dynasty, implemented a new policy, and ordered the people of the world to hand over the gold at home 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 recuperate and recuperate, without all kinds of taxes, to feed the people 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 with the concerted efforts of all the sisters, she will be able to take on this important responsibility. ”

During the Han Dynasty, China's various technical levels were far above all countries in the world, so China's silk, bronze mirrors, ceramics, etc. were sought after by all countries in the world, so the world's gold flowed to China at that time. At that time, gold was the currency commonly used by the common people in China.

Some people say that "gold" at that time meant copper, but this is not to be agreed upon. In ancient times, people used gold as a circulating currency, and the ability of people to identify the number of gold at that time was much higher than that of today's people.

Please remember that at this point in time, China's massive amount of gold, from the universal currency, suddenly disappeared, and became a precious treasure, it was during the Wang Mang period.

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

Lu Su said: "Brother Yu has sent a governor in Yizhou. All military affairs are managed by General Lu Wei, in fact, there is no war in Yizhou now, only to inspect pirates and arrest those who are 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 shook his head and said, "I don't have much time, 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.

Sun Shangxiang solemnly stored the letter on his chest.

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 smiled: "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 county lord, are you willing?" ”

Miki Jiro replied, "Hai." ”

After Miki Jiro bowed to Lu Sushen, he stood behind Sun Shangxiang.
