The Three Kingdoms

Whether it is the Jiangdong aristocratic family class headed by the four great families, or the local powerful classes existing in various counties and cities, they initially resisted the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Everywhere began to suppress merchants. The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce was established, but if it wants to stand tall, it must resist the suppression of the Jiangdong family and tyrants.

"Young Master, at the current location, there are 76 merchants who have joined our Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, each of which is an outstanding merchant from all over the country. However, in the past five days, a total of three merchants have only joined, but seven merchants have withdrawn from the Chamber of Commerce. Those who quit are all merchants in Danyang County."

Mi Zhu moved his eyes, walked up, and reported in a low voice.

Sun Quan is the chairman of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, but it is only a name, mainly for the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce to resist the pressure from the General's Mansion, and has little interest in affairs. Under the chairman, there are three powerful vice-chairmen who can mobilize the Chamber of Commerce. For strength, the first one is Mi Zhu, the other is the head of the Xu family in Lujiang, and the head of the Wu family in Wujun.

The current Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is headquartered in Moling, and Mi Zhu is basically the person in charge. The Mi family has strong financial resources, and Mi Zhu is knowledgeable and capable.

"It seems that someone can't sit still, Fang Xiao, which side do you think made the move?" Sun Quan walked on the small mountain road in Zhongshan, watching the beautiful scenery on the mountain, hearing the words, he couldn't help it. He frowned, turned his head, looked at Xu Shan, and asked.

Some people will withdraw from the chamber of commerce, naturally they cannot bear the coercion.

"Danyang Haoqiang!" Xu Shan's mouth twitched, and he replied with a complicated expression.The Xu family can also be regarded as one of the local powerhouses in Danyang County, and it is still relatively powerful.

"Danyang? It's not surprising. It seems that Jiangdong's aristocratic family is calm enough. By the way, what is the attitude of Moling's tyranny?"

Sun Quan stopped, squinted his eyes, looked at Xu Shan like a knife, and continued to ask.

"The power of Moling has already been intimidated by the young master, and there is no action yet, very calm." Xu Shan said softly: "However, the powerful classes in Jiangcheng, Hushu, Jurong, Shicheng, and Danyang have already begun to attack Moling. Be alert, control the population entering Moling, and suppress local merchants."

"It's normal, but he thought he could suppress the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce in this way, and they were very wrong, Fang Xiao!"

"exist!"

The corner of Sun Quan's mouth drew a trace of coldness, and he asked: "The Xu family is a banner of Moling's power, can you replace your father and become the head of the Xu family?"

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Xu Shan was slightly startled by the light in his pupils when he heard this.

"Moling is no longer a small city like it used to be, and the wind and rain will inevitably gather in the future. I must firmly control thousands of county soldiers and not allow anyone to block a certain plan to build a new city, so the position of county lieutenant Xu Mu is unacceptable. Keep it!" Sun Quan said coldly: "Either you replace him, or I dispatch another confidant to take over, you choose!"

"Don't worry, son, I will persuade father to give up the position of Moling county captain." Xu Shan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he understood Sun Quan's meaning, either you clean up the Xu family yourself, or he comes to clean up the Xu family, in short, He wanted the Xu family to be used by him.

Use powerful forces to resist powerful classes.

"You just understand!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan showed a satisfied smile, stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder, smiled slightly, and said in an old-fashioned way.

"My lord, Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has one more matter, Mr. Xu asks for help!"

Mi Zhu said suddenly.

"Mr. Xu asked for help, what happened to the Xu family?" Sun Quan asked.

"The powerful forces in Lujiang can't hold back anymore. The iron ore in Xujiazhi's iron workshop was originally controlled by a powerful in Lujiang. Now the powerful in Lujiang want to sink the flag of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce erected by the Xu family in Lujiang, so Cut off their source of ore!" Mi Zhu explained softly.

"What is the reaction of the prefect's mansion that the Xu family supplies?" Sun Quan asked. The prefect of Lujiang is Zhou Yu's uncle, Zhou Shang, and the Zhou family is one of the aristocratic families in Lujiang.

"Prefect Zhou's current attitude can be regarded as impartial. He has no intention of helping Lujiang's tycoons, nor does he intend to help the Xu family out of the siege!" Mi Zhu said.

"That's fine."

Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, which means that the family has no intention of doing anything now. The longer the time drags on, the more stable the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce will be. He pondered for a while and said: "We remember that the Fan family in Danyang has a few iron mines, right? ?”

"Ok!"

"Inform the Xu family and the Fan family to let the Xu family purchase ore from the Fan family. According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, the Fan family will provide the source of goods at [-]% of the price."

Sun Quan's eyes were cold, and a flash of fighting intent flashed across his eyes, and he said instructively: "Zizhong, you should pay attention, the matter of the Lujiang Xu family is a war without gunpowder between the Lujiang tycoons and the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, it is not as simple as that. , we will definitely make moves in the future, we keep the Xu family, that is, we keep the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, and the status of the merchants is fought back, not begged, understand?"

"Yes!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, his face was a little cold, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit, so he nodded firmly.

If this is a war, he will let the world know the power of merchants.

[Text Chapter 248 Huang Zhong and Zhang Zhongjing]

Moling County Government.

Sun Quan sat on a grand teacher's chair, his handsome face looked a little gloomy. Moling wanted to build a new city in Jinling, which required a huge amount of materials and manpower.

Now he has the strong financial resources of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce to fully support the development of various projects in the new city. However, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has already aroused the dissatisfaction of Danyang's powerful class. He did not expect Danyang's powerful forces to intervene at this time, which greatly delayed the project. Progress.

He still underestimated Danyang's mighty power. Even if Wu Jing, who was above the county guard's mansion, stood on his side, facing Danyang's mighty power, Moling was still a little weak.

"My lord, now the tyrants in Danyang have begun to fully exert their strength. Not only the surrounding counties, but even Yuanling, the government office, has begun to boycott Moling. In addition to suppressing merchants, several counties are also boycotting Moling. The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce Merchant goods cannot enter Moling."

Mi Zhu was also troubled in his heart, if a businessman can't make his way through the business, he is a toothless tiger.

Moling is geographically located in the middle, with the Yangtze River in the northwest, Jiangcheng and Jurong in the east, Danyang and Shicheng in the south, and now the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has aroused a full-scale counterattack by Danyang's tycoons, and all cities are stuck at the entrance of Moling. Moling isolated.

"Where's the waterway?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"The waterway is still smooth. This is the only way we can quickly transport goods into Moling. However, the population of Moling has now increased to 25. The food consumed, the stone and wood needed to build the capital are all Huge numbers are transported from far away only by waterways, the freight is too expensive, and there are not enough merchant ships!"

Mi Zhu analyzed it.

"This is also a helpless move. What they do is within the laws promulgated by the General's Mansion. We can't do anything to them, so let them be arrogant first!"

Sun Quan stood up, with a cold look across his eyes, and asked, "But since they have made a move, our Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce will also make a move, Zizhong, do you know what economic warfare is?"

"Economic warfare?" Mi Zhu looked puzzled when he heard this unfamiliar word.

"If we want to make Danyang's powerful forces admit defeat, it depends on the ability of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce."

Sun Quan stared at the sunlight outside the lobby, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Economic warfare is mainly about controlling goods and prices. If the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce can collapse their economy, I will see what they use to block Moling. !"

"How does the young master want to do it?"

"What is the most powerful class holding the most resources?" Sun Quan asked.

"Food!" Mi Zhu said directly, the so-called local tyrants are all big landlords, and they basically rely on selling food for their livelihood, and food is gold in troubled times, so the powerful forces that have experienced troubled times are even stronger.

"Then we will reduce the price of grain, control the sales of grain in Danyang, and immediately send an order that all merchants in Danyang under the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce will do their best to purchase grain from now on." Sun Quan squinted and said.

"Buy food?"

Mi Zhu was startled. He has a sensitive business talent. Hearing Sun Quan's words, a flash of inspiration flashed across his mind. If the price of grain collapses, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce will have nothing to lose!"

"Zizhong, what is the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce lacking the most?"

"money!"

"Isn't that terrible? If you hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. If the price of grain in Danyang doubles, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce will spend some money at most. It can still please the county guard, but basically food is the livelihood. What will happen to Danyang Haoqiang?" Sun Quan sneered.
