Mi Zhu gasped when he heard the words, he is a smart person, it's not that he couldn't understand what Sun Quan meant, but it was hard to believe.

Because once the way of business is integrated into a part of the court, then the merchants will be justified in name, and they are no longer the most humble class of people, but a class comparable to scholars.

This is something that no one dared to do for thousands of years.

"Zizhong, do you still remember what I said when I established the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce?" Sun Quan's eyes flickered with a touch of determination.

"Keep in mind every single word!" Mi Zhu nodded.

"Very good!" Sun Quan's eyes sparkled brightly: "Then I'm asking you now, do you still dare to fight for the status of a businessman?"

"Dare!" Mi Zhu heard the words, his eyes were bright, and his face was firm: "Although I, Mi Zhu, have billions of dollars and enough wealth for three generations, I still want to go one step further and let the Mi family become an inherited family in a fair and honest way. , so as long as the king dares to say it, I dare to do it!"

"You can say that, I feel comforted, and I don't hide it!"

Sun Quan stood up, with his hands behind his back, and his voice was low and clear: "If the businessman can't get on the stage, I will let the businessman on the stage. I want to completely bring the way of business from the people to the court. In addition, another one will be opened, which is the Economic Development and Commercial Dispatch Department of the State of Wu, which ranks among the Jiuqing, accepts the leadership of the Prime Minister's Office, specializes in business development affairs, and supervises the economic and commercial development of the country of Wu, and ranks alongside the Jiuqing. !"

In fact, the Sangong Jiuqing system used by the various courts along the Han Dynasty has fallen behind. Regarding this, Sun Quan already has some secret plans in his mind, and he is planning to carry out a major reform after he ascends the throne.

But now it's better for them to maintain the status quo, and they still have to eat every bite.

In fact, he didn't want to set up an economic and commercial department on a whim. He had planned to do so in his early years, but he never found a suitable opportunity to appeal to Sun Jian.

Now that he has become King Wu, he can do many things freely.

"My lord, are you a little impatient, this will arouse the anger of all the officials in the court!" Mi Zhu should have been very happy, but found that he was a little unhappy.

This matter is not as easy to succeed. Once it fails, it will even affect Sun Quan's convincing power among courtiers. From Sun Quan's point of view, this should not be done.

"Of course I know it won't be easy!"

Sun Quan naturally knew how difficult it was to challenge the thousand-year-old system, but there was still hope if he did it. If he didn't do it, he might have no hope of success in his life.

In this era, business is low, and he must reverse this deeply rooted influence. He wants to develop Wu, wants Wu to live and work in peace, wants everyone in Wu to have food, a house to live in, little to support, and To rely on something, from food and clothing to a well-off life, he cannot avoid the link of business.

"Zizhong, now is a good opportunity!"

Sun Quan approached him, lowered his tone, and said: "I can only be a finalist in the position of King Wu, and I can't do it blatantly, but you are different. You can blatantly play for yourself. Fighting for interests, if it was a few years ago, there would be no hope for this matter, but these years the businessmen have made a big difference in Wu, and there is still a chance of success."

"The most important thing is that Wu has just quelled the civil strife, and there is such a big gap in the national treasury. This is your bargaining chip. Let me give you a proposal. The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and all chambers of commerce in Wu will take out 80 billion yuan for negotiation. chips, as long as you can convince Zhang Zhao, you have already won half the battle!"

Sun Quan made a point.

"It's a bit like threatening the prime minister?" Mi Zhu said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are instigating me to negotiate with Wu Guochaotang. I feel so much that you are trying to demolish yourself!"

"Is there? The entire Wu Kingdom is mine, whether it is the court or the chamber of commerce. I just give you a fair chance. It doesn't matter whether you threaten the prime minister or not. The important thing is whether they are threatened by you! "

Sun Quan had a sly smile on his face, and said: "As long as they open their mouths and agree to set up an economic and commercial department, then the businessmen in the state of Wu will be recognized. In the future, you don't need to look for backers everywhere, and you can directly influence the court. The risks are great and the interests are high." Also big!"

"I need to think about this matter!" Mi Zhu thought for a while, and said, "I'm willing to fight, but the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce alone can't do this. I need to contact other presidents of the Chamber of Commerce. A person's status!"

"Of course, but you must move quickly!" Sun Quan nodded and said: "After passing this village, there is no such shop. Now that the court is in trouble, I will give you a chance to take advantage of it. Can you grasp it well, if after I ascend the throne, Wu Guo will be settled, Zhang Zhao and the others will not agree!"

He can help merchants, and he can only help here. As the King of Wu, he must have a bowl of water. After calculating Zhang Zhao, he should also get some practical ones from the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Supplementing the national treasury was his purpose of calling Mi Zhu here today. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 6 of the main text: Yuan Shao's desperate situation at the end of Guandu]

In Guandu town, the north and south gates are high, and the mountains on both sides are undulating, towering and towering, and the thorns are difficult to walk. The canal water of the natural moat in front is rushing, and the natural moat behind is Jishui, which is surging.

This is a military fortress that is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

Bali Mountain, an ordinary hillside, is less than five miles away from the small town of Guandu. The Jin army that entered the range of the Guandu fortress is based here.

The Jin army took this place as the camp of the Chinese army, and began a strong attack on Guandu Town.

All the soldiers who have passed through the Jin Dynasty understand that only by clearing Guandu can they get through the way home. Therefore, in this battle, the soldiers fought with all their strength.

For two days and two nights, the Jin army continued to invest in troops and carried out a non-stop assault on the Guandu Fortress. They paid the lives of more than tens of thousands of children and injured more than [-] children, but they were still unable to break through the small town of Guandu.

As the saying goes, over and over again, over and over again, and over and over again!

The last morale of the Jin army has been consumed by this strong fortress, and the morale is declining bit by bit.

Under the scorching sun, the temperature soared, and the sultry weather was a heavy blow to these soldiers who couldn't get enough to eat.

However, even so, the Jin army still launched a strong attack on Guandu. The battle in the small town of Guandu was extremely fierce. Both sides gritted their teeth and launched a brutal tug-of-war.

"General, the Infantry Lieutenant Mayan's Department suffered heavy casualties!"

"Order Su You, lead [-] troops, join the battlefield, and continue to attack at all costs. No matter what, we must open the gate of Guandu!" Yan Liang shouted sharply.

"promise!"

"General, it's better for the euphorbia soldiers to attack!" Jiang Qi whispered.

"Wait a minute, the euphorbia warriors are our last fighting power, and we cannot use them without authorization!" Although Yan Liang still remained calm.But at this moment, he himself was a little unconfident.

The enemy troops in Guandu don't do it, the maximum is [-], but there are only [-] troops.Cooperating with the terrain of Guandu, it directly blocked the advance of their ten major armies.

After two days and two nights of storming, food and grass will soon be exhausted, and morale will also be exhausted, Yan Liang knows.Their chances are running out, so be careful every step of the way.

……

Balishan, the main tent of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shao lay dying on a bed, his eyes were dull and his face was dull, as if overnight, he was dozens of years old, and his former vigorous spirit had completely disappeared.

When the news of Gao Lan's surrender and Zhang Jaw's capture came, he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.I can't afford to be sick.

The collapse of the 10,000+ army on the western front is tantamount to cutting them off. This is the last way for the [-] Jin army. Without the support of the army on the western front, they would not be able to break out in such a short period of time.

When their provisions are exhausted, that is their downfall.

This day is probably not far away. The food and grass in the army can last for a day or two at most, so.Yuan Shao was already desperate, Guandu was blocked, there were wolves in front and tigers in back, Cao Cao's main force was constantly approaching.His spirit was broken at once.

"Yuan Hao, how is the morale of the soldiers calmed down?"

After all, Yuan Shao was the overlord of a generation, he held back his breath, and slowly sat up from the bed, his pale face seemed to be exhausted, and his eyes swept over the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, a humble minister is incompetent!"

Tian Feng sighed, and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of deserters in the barracks. General Yan is busy getting through Guandu, and now he is still attacking Guandu. I can't stop it at all. We don't have many troops now!"

The Jin army suffered heavy casualties in the several times of storming the town of Guandu, but they were still unable to attack Guandu. The Wei army approached from all directions, and the Jin army's hearts were lost.

And it's not just one or two deserters, but a group of deserters, one after another, tens of thousands of deserters, this has already explained a problem, the Jin army, the hearts of the people are really scattered.
