Chapter 19: Cruelty

Previous Chapter

More than a month, just like that, no surprises, no worries.

Sun Jian, busy stabilizing the regime that had just arrived, slowly replacing the manpower arranged by Wang Rui before at all levels, without hurting his muscles and bones, so that there was no longer an outsider in Changsha Bing and Qi County Mansion!

This is also the sadness of unification, when those in power do not trust their subordinates, no matter how talented they are.

The military strength of the Changsha Army has been unprecedentedly improved after a long time of training under the condition that Sun Jian is full of 'his own people'.

First of all, Sun Jian took out all the money and invested it in armaments, equipped the saddles and stirrups neatly, and then specially formed a hook and sickle team of 5,000 people to deal with the cavalry. Immediately after that, the forging of weapons, knives, guns, and arrows began to be in full swing and distributed to all parts of Jingzhou in the process of intensified construction.

At the same time, the four surnames of Jingzhou also earned a lot of gold and silver for Sun Jian with more convenience!

The Pang clan contributed 3.5 million copper coins, which was the profit they shared with Sun Jian after selling red bricks; The Cai family, seven million! This includes cement, wine, salt, etc.; The Ma family and the Kuai family were slightly inferior, but they also had a full 5.5 million, of which Aya Nishiki alone earned them a profit of 4 million.

As for the wine that had long been banned by Sun Jian, Cai's wine cellar was brewed outside Jingzhou, and there was Pang Tong's idea here. After Pang Tong arrived in Xiangyang, he had a lot of contact with the Cai clan, and slowly began to understand their business structure, when he understood the potential of wine, he immediately wrote a letter to Sun Jian, pointing out that wine is a good thing, which can not only mess with the enemy's concentration, but also consume the enemy's food.

When Sun Jian saw it, he was overjoyed, and he raised his hand to give Cai Mao power, and Cai Mao immediately began to arrange for people to go straight to Yangzhou, and then the Kuai family sent people to Shu, and the huge business was supported. And Aya brocade is completely different, this thing makes Kuaiyue into an ordinary cargo that hits the low-end market, and impacts the tolerance of the people in the major centers.

For example, Luoyang.

Since Dong Zhuo fled from Chang'an back to Luoyang, this almost forgotten capital has become lively again, and the people are also rising wildly. When people see that they can buy silk brocade at a cheaper price, the visual effect is almost the same as Shu brocade, and no one has bought Shu brocade, who doesn't want to exchange money for food in these years?

In this way, Kuai Yue made a lot of money, and the Ma family also swept Yingchuan, Runan and other places, and the business was very good.

All in all, Jingzhou is taking in a large amount of five baht from all over the country through a variety of commodities, and these money are invested by Sun Jian in military spending and grain purchases, and a lot of money is spent. Jingzhou, like a blood-sucking leech, is silently growing in this land, waiting for the day when it will make a sound.

Slowly, winter is coming, and the year is coming.

Sun Quan is living in Yuelu like a fool moving mountains and growing slowly, this year, he has grown half a head, and he is much stronger, and he has done a lot of things, at the end of the first phase of Yuelu College, he finally relied on homemade feed, fattened a full hundred pigs, although these pigs are not enough to be slaughtered, but it looks very gratifying.

In addition, before the first snow fell, all the refugees finally moved into the houses, and the camps were all demolished, and the situation of 500,000 people working together was finally exchanged for a slippery house by the river and a city without walls.

"Second son, it's time to think about building a city wall, right?"

When Wei Xun accompanied Sun Quan to the river to hang out, he reminded him.

In his inherent impression, without the protection of the city wall, his heart is not steady, and now that the town of 500,000 people is beginning to take shape, it is indeed time to build a city wall.

"There's no hurry."

Sun Quan pondered and responded: "At present, the Central Plains War is not over yet, if someone can fight Yuelu from outside Jingzhou, we can't withstand it, whether there is a city wall or not." ”

What he said is not unreasonable, if even the strong Sun Jian is defeated, what can they do with these refugees who have not even nourished their bodies?

What's more, building a city wall may not save money compared to building a city, what he lacks most now is money!

"Then, after the academy is built, shouldn't the children's school be decided?"

Wei Xun asked tentatively.

"Kids? What kids? ”

Sun Quan turned around and faced Wei Wuxiu directly.

"Second son, among our 500,000 people, there are also many children, you see, do you give these children a little quota......"

"Why did they go to Yuelu Academy?"

In a word, it's stupid to ask Wei Wuxiu!

Wei Wuxiu felt that although the second son was serious on weekdays, he was a compassionate character, and he begged for it, maybe he could ask for a future for the children of the 500,000 refugees, who knows......

Sun Quan would never agree to this request, doesn't this mean that he has broken his own structure with his own hands?

If this group of children can go to school, what is the use of Jingzhou and Changsha nationality? This group of refugees will become a plate of scattered sand in an instant, and there is a place to live anyway, who will continue to fight with their lives? Therefore, this opening must not be opened.

"What, you think I'm being too mean to refugees?"

Wei Wuxiu immediately knelt down: "The villain doesn't dare." ”

"Don't you dare, you dare very much!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said: "You think you can be the white jade pillar of the sky and the purple gold beam of the sea, if you say a word, these thousands of children will be able to enter Yuelu to study, and what a great merit it will be at that time, but do you know that your words are likely to ruin all my plans in the past six months!" ”

"Second son, I just want to ask for a future for the children......"

"Aren't there a lot of scholars among the refugees? You brought someone to build a school for them, did I stop you? If you take someone to build it tomorrow, it will be called 'Yuelu Inferior Academy'." ”

Wei Wuxiu slammed his head on the ground: "Second son, you can't call it this name!" ”

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Isn't this a clear telling the refugees that you are not as good as the people from Jingzhou and Changsha?

But, isn't this exactly the effect that Sun Quan wants?

"Can't?" Sun Quan looked at him: "You don't seem to remember who you are, do you?" You seem to have forgotten how you bit off your fingers and swallowed them in order to survive, right? ”

"Villain...... Can't! ”

"Then go and do it, if there is a word different from what I said, Wei Wuxiu, you remember, what this son can give you, you can take it back at any time!"

"No!"
