The Three Kingdoms

"Ju Yi is not going to send troops?" He dug out a few parts of the Guandu battle report, looked at it, and was a little surprised. After a while, he looked up and looked at Li Nie standing in front of An Ran: "Old Li, are you sure?"

"The news is like this, but I'm not sure!" Li Nie thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "A certain family believes that he is the variable in Yuan Shao's victory in Guandu!"

"Gao Lan surrendered, and Zhang Jaw was also captured?" Sun Quan continued to flip through the Guandu battle report, frowning: "The 10,000+ army of the Jin army on the west front was crippled by Zhang Liao at once, and now Yuan Shao is a bereaved dog. Blocked, surrounded by the Wei army, he has no backup, no food and grass, and he can't survive for three days. If it is determined that Ju Yi will not send troops, the horror is not as simple as victory or defeat. Whether he can return to Hebei safely is a problem!"

"Wei Jun's actions are as fast as thunder, and a certain family is a little dazzled!" Li Nie said: "A certain family managed to straighten out the news with great difficulty. King Jin is doomed!"

"no!"

Sun Quan stood up and said: "We need to speed up. If Wei Jun hits Jizhou, we are still playing a fart. Where is Han Tao? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"It takes time to come back from Jizhou. He spends all this time in Jizhou!" Li Nie said.

"What about Pan Feng and Zhang Yan?" Sun Quan said.

"They should be on their way back to the country of Wu by boat, but according to the time, they will arrive in these two days, maybe something went wrong!" Li Nie said.

"Why do you feel that everything is not going well?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering brightly.

"You are overthinking!" Li Nie shook his head: "Although Wu Guo has some flaws, but the people's hearts are settled, other things are fine!"

"Maybe!" Sun Quan nodded, and then said: "Jin Yiwei's mission. You still have to keep an eye on Guandu. You said that Ju Yi is a variable, so take a good look at him!"

"Someone understands!"

Li Nie nodded, and the two were discussing the details of the Guandu Battle.Then he left the palace in a hurry, Jin Yiwei was so busy now that he had to keep an eye on Guandu and guard against problems in the enthronement ceremony, he wished he could use fifteen minutes as two quarters.

"The current state of Wu is really a mess!" In the imperial study room, Sun Quan continued to review the memorials presented by various parties in the state of Wu.Some helpless sigh.

The country of Wu looks like the wind and rain are over now, everything is back to spring, the scenery is boundless, and it is about to take off, but in fact, many problems have already erupted secretly, and they have reached the extreme.

The bloody battle in Jingzhou, the internal turmoil in Wu, if any one thing is taken alone, even if it happened, it would not affect the vitality of Wu.But adding it all together, it can exhaust Wu Guo's heritage over the years.

"Money, money!"

Sun Quan has never been a person short of money, and now he is also short of money. The East Marquis Mansion and the palace treasury are combined together.Nor can it make up for the emptiness of the treasury.

Lack of money is the biggest problem these days.

In the Jingzhou War, although Wu Jun won the final victory, his own casualties were extremely heavy, and the hundreds of thousands of troops used in the war have already consumed the national treasury.

Now the pensions for soldiers who died in Jingzhou have become a big gap.

Moreover, Jingzhou did not have two or three years to recuperate, so it was impossible to feed back the court.Even, Wu Guochaotang has to spend a lot of reinforcements every year to restore its former prosperity, which is also a funding gap.

Therefore, Sun Quan is extremely short of money now, but fortunately he still has a fund that can be used.

National debt, since the country of Wu successfully issued the first national debt, it has started this kind of borrowing with court credit as the core. However, this year, the country of Wu has undergone major changes. Since the beginning of the year, the court has been in turmoil, and many things have been paralyzed.

Therefore, this year's national debt has been under pressure and has not been issued.

However, if the court wants to issue this national bond now, it must repay the debt left over from last year and the year before the year before, and the credit of the court cannot be lost because of this.

There has always been a good cycle of issuing and returning at the same time, but a sum of funds from the state treasury is dispatched here to fill the expenditure of the Western Expeditionary Army, so there is a gap, but the funds in this regard are actually not large.

It's just that, now that the national treasury has nothing to do, it really can't come up with such a sum of money.

"Send the order, let Mi Zhu come to see me immediately!"

Sun Quan thought for a while, and now only Mi Zhu can solve this problem.

The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is as rich as an enemy country, and has this ability.

"Your Majesty!"

Following Sun Quan's order, Mi Zhu came very quickly. He approached the imperial study room, bowed to Sun Quan, then stood up and asked, "I don't know why the king is recruiting today?"

Sun Quan's ascension to the position of Great Treasure of the Wu Kingdom is definitely a great joy for him. You must know that he is the direct descendant of Sun Quan's direct descendants, and Sun Quan has always been the pillar of merchants.

When he ascended the throne of King Wu, the status of the businessman would have an explosive improvement.

"You sit down first!" Sun Quan came out from behind the desk where the memorial was reviewed, and patted him on the shoulder. In the small living room in front of the two of them, two maids poured them a cup of tea.

"I'm here to ask for help. I'm short of money, and the court is short of money!" Sun Quan sat down, took a sip of his tea, and said, "Chaotang now has a shortfall of nearly 30 billion yuan, and I have nothing to do. , so, I can only ask you to discuss it!"

"This amount is not small!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he frowned slightly. He was not afraid of Sun Quan's big mouth. If Sun Quan was willing, it would be fine if he contributed to the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. If the money is gone, he can make money again, but if the businessman loses Sun Quan's attitude, he will be unable to move forward.

However, Sun Quan has always distinguished himself from the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce very clearly.

"The amount is small, so I don't need to look for you. I can't make it even if I sell everything, so I turned to you to find a way!" Sun Quan took a sip of green tea, moistened his dry throat, and said, "The weather has been very hot recently. Droughts have occurred in all of them, so I allocated a certain amount of funds to promote water conservancy, as you know, the national treasury is cleaner than trouser pockets!"

"My lord. I remember that the national debt didn't seem to be issued today, right?"

Mi Zhu said suddenly.

"To pay off the debt, last year there was a national debt that was due the year before, and we didn't clear it. Therefore, this national debt must be fully settled before it can be issued!" Sun Quan nodded, and then explained.

"Your Majesty, you are a little too careful!" Mi Zhu smiled wryly, and said softly, "It's okay for you to release it once a year and return it at the same time. This year's Wu Kingdom is full of disasters, and the people can understand it!"

"One stroke at a time!" Sun Quan shook his head and said, "No matter how poor the court is, you can't make fun of your own reputation. If we make an exception this time, will there be another time? This will make the people treat us The court has lost confidence!"

"Then how does the king want to solve it?" Mi Zhu admired Sun Quan's behavior very much. In business, honesty comes first. He thought for a while before asking.

"Without affecting the operation of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, do you have the ability to take out this sum of money?" Sun Quan asked: "If you borrow it alone as the court, can you borrow it?"

"Move, move. The Jiangdong Guild, our Mi family, and Han Bin's background are all right!" Mi Zhu calculated in his mind before nodding and said, the current Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.Although it was split by the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce before, which hurt its vitality, it is still the No. [-] Chamber of Commerce in Wu State, a behemoth of business.

Adding his and Han Bin's net worth, he made up the sum of money.It is still possible.

"It seems that Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce has developed very rapidly in recent years!" Sun Quan sighed, "You are all rich, unlike me, you are so poor that you almost can't get rid of it!"

"Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce can have today, thanks to the support of the king!" Mi Zhu said sincerely, without Sun Quan's support, there would be no businessmen today.

The merchants of the state of Wu have been under a kind of silent influence, and their status in the hearts of the people of the world has been continuously improved. Now, merchants are not said to be lowly.

"Borrowing money is always bad, Zizhong, do you want the businessman to go further?" Sun Quan asked suddenly with a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

Mi Zhu's eyes brightened. Every time Sun Quan asked such a rhetorical question, it would always bring them infinite benefits.

"Although merchants have accumulated huge wealth and obtained a lot of social status through the unity of the chamber of commerce and the connection of commercial routes over the years, the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and commerce have always been like a mountain, pressing on the merchants' heads!"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes, and said carefully: "If you want to make a complete change, there is only one way, and let the business way be completely integrated into the decision-making level of the court!"

"My lord, I still don't understand!"
