The Three Kingdoms

He squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Whether a certain person is a dragon or a worm, to be honest, you don't know, and I don't know either. Time will tell everything, but if you appear here today, it's your choice." I, Sun Zhongmou, I want to know, and you should also want to know, whether your choice is right or wrong, so..."

Sun Quan paused for a moment, looked at Pang Tong with fiery eyes, and said loudly: "So, Sun Zhongmou, here today, I solemnly invite you to join the Donghou Mansion, assist XX, and prove your own choice, whether it is right or wrong .”

"Hahaha, how can someone refuse such a respectful invitation from Junhou? I hope that someone's choice is right!"

Pang Tong smiled brightly with an ugly face.

"Brother Shi Yuan, the Kingdom of Wu welcomes you!"

Although he knew the result earlier, Sun Quan was still overjoyed to be able to take this super counselor into his arms. He stretched out his hand with a sincere and dignified expression.

"Pang Tong is willing to do the work of Donghou!"

Pang Tong's expression was also very dignified, and he said firmly.

These two hands were tightly clenched together, forming a fist. The sunlight above the sky poured down, refracted on the two of them, and the rays of light were very colorful.

After Sun Quan returned to Donghou Mansion, the court officials did not let him go to Jingzhou immediately, and Gan Ning's recruitment also had problems. He was pressed by Huang Zu in Xiling, and he could not escape at all.

Sun Quan suddenly became more relaxed. Sun Ce spared no effort to attack the Donghou Mansion during this period, but Sun Quan did not immediately start to fight back against Sun Ce, but did one thing wholeheartedly, marrying a wife.

He is fifteen years old this year, and he will be 16 years old during Chinese New Year. In this era, a 16-year-old boy, crowned and crowned, has reached the time to get married. Besides, his little brother is already an adult, so we can't let him It's a pity that I eat vegetarian food every day, and there are two beauties beside me who are like flowers and jade, but I can only look at them and can't move them.

In this day and age, no matter how enlightened a woman is, she will not be open. Kissing is fine at ordinary times, but if you want to be unmarried, you must crack open first. That's why getting married has become his top priority now, and he must get it done.

This is not a small matter, as Sun Quan's status in Wu State continues to improve, his marriage will affect the hearts of the entire Wu State.

He must marry Cai Yan, and he must marry Zhen Mi, but who comes first and who comes last?Theoretically, Cai Yan should be the first, but he can't wrong the Goddess of Luoshui, so after much deliberation, he decided to marry her together.

This is a good idea, but this old man is not easy to deal with.

The Zhen family is not a big deal, Zhen Mi has two older brothers who are easy to deal with.

Now the Zhen family can be regarded as a wealthy merchant family, joined the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, and relying on Sun Quan's relationship, the small treacherous merchant Zhen Mi developed the Zhen family very quickly, and the Zhen family of the Zhongshan Kingdom had established a foothold in Jinling.

As long as Zhen Mi is dealt with, it will be dealt with, the Zhen family.

However, old man Cai of the Cai family is more difficult to deal with. Sun Quan had offended him terribly because of Jiangdong Women's Academy before. Sun Quan scratched his head and there was no good way.

"Zijing, do you have a way to deal with Cai Dajiu?" Sun Quan thought for a long time, but at the end of his mind, he called his number one adviser, Lu Su, and asked, "I'll marry Cai Xiaojiu in first, But the old man is hard to deal with!"

At present, in the whole country of Wu, Cai Yong, the sacrificial wine of Jiangdong Academy, is called Cai Da Jijiu, and Cai Yan of Jiangdong Women's Academy is called Cai Xiaojijiu, so it is better to separate them.

"Your Majesty, with your current status and reputation among scholars, you can directly offer a betrothal gift. There is no reason for Cai Dajiu to refuse you!" Lu Su said puzzled.

"That's because you don't understand the old man's character at all. The old man's temper is hard and soft. If he doesn't want to, it's useless for the father to come forward. It's not the first time that the old man disliked me, and I recently offended him once. Well, if I hurriedly went to offer the dowry without his permission and refused him, I would be ashamed."

Sun Quan said with a bitter smile on his face.

"That's it, why don't you test him first?"

Lu Su didn't quite understand Sun Quan's thinking and the relationship with Sun Quan and Cai Yong. In his opinion, as long as the dowry was offered, Cai Yong could only agree with his nose even if he didn't want to. After all, Sun Quan's face, he It is something that cannot be lost, but Sun Quan wants to be more stable, so he can only think about development: "Let's see how he reacts?"

"How to test?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Feng Qiuhuang!"

Lu Su pondered for a while, and said: "You copy the song Fengqiuhuang with your own hands, and then send it to Cai's mansion to see the reaction of Cai Dajiu's wine. If he doesn't respond, it means that he agrees, and the king can do it." Send someone to propose a marriage and make a betrothal gift."

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Sun Quan was slightly overjoyed, and immediately walked into the study room, with a big stroke of a pen, it took more than half an hour to finish transcribing the song Feng Qiuhuang, and then quickly sent someone to the Cai Mansion in Wu County.

"Old man, don't make so many troubles, let me marry a good wife, or I will have trouble with you for the rest of my life." Sun Quan kept grinding his teeth, and said fiercely.

The sky is big and the earth is big, for him, it is not as big as marrying a wife.

————————————————————

In the first year of the Warring States Period, in late November, on this day, the first snowflakes fell naturally in Jinling City.

Amidst the falling snow, the streets and alleys of Jinling City were much quieter, but in this cold weather, the Nancheng Market was still very lively, with a lot of traffic coming and going.

Sun Quan was wearing a pair of brand-new boots, and he was riding on the bluestone bricks scattered by light snow. He was wearing a big coat and a woolen hat on his head. Next to him was a young man named Pang Tong. Han Gang and Luo Han led a dozen The elite guards followed closely behind.

A group of them walked to the General Chamber of Commerce of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is now a behemoth in the Wu Kingdom. The Chamber of Commerce already includes [-]% of the merchants in the Wu Kingdom. They are basically big merchants, covering the entire Wu Kingdom. From Jiaozhou to Pingzhou, there are shadows of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Today's Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is no longer the small chamber of commerce that was just established and squeezed with almost nowhere to go. The standards for joining the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce have also increased a lot. Even so, there are still many merchants who want to join the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, the influence of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce in Wu State is growing. On the land of Wu State, the humble status of businessmen has gone forever. Shanggongnong.

As the headquarters of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, this courtyard in the center of Nancheng City not only occupies a spacious area, but also has luxurious decorations. Everything is extremely precious, comparable to a royal palace, and it is completely piled up with money.

"Your Majesty!"

At the gate, Mi Zhu had been waiting with several people from the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce for a long time. When he saw Sun Quan, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Zizhong, are you all here?" Sun Quan walked into the chamber of commerce, untied his coat, handed it to Han Gang, looked at Mi Zhu, and asked.

"It's all here."

Mi Zhu nodded, and said: "Today is the annual meeting of the chamber of commerce. The merchants from all over the country have basically arrived. Except for those who really can't leave, they also sent their own highly regarded children to attend."

"It's good to come!"

Sun Quan walked into the long corridor, walked into an extremely spacious hall, and glanced at the Jiangdong merchants sitting majestically in the hall.

"We will pay homage to the king!"

Everyone immediately stood up, greeted the approaching figure of Sun Quan, and said respectfully one by one.

"Everyone, this is the Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to be too polite!" Sun Quan went to the front chair and sat down. Now in Jiangdong, the habit of kneeling has begun to change, and many people have begun to customize chairs. High desk.

"promise!"

These merchants respected Sun Quan from the bottom of their hearts. Without Sun Quan, they would have no status at all.

The status of merchants has always been the most humble, but in the current state of Wu, even some disciples from high-ranking aristocratic families no longer have the same contempt they used to have when they see these insignificant merchant children.

Moreover, many merchants now send their children to Zhongshan Academy to study, and they will become famous scholars when they come out.

All this is because of Sun Quan. Without Sun Quan, there would be no Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.
