Shu Chen

Chapter 315
Sun Quan was not moved when he praised Zheng Pu's list of achievements.

Without him, he has heard too many words like this from Jiangdong's ministers, and he has long felt boring.

And when Zhang Cheng, who was with the banquet that day, returned, he told him everything he had heard during the banquet, regardless of size or detail. Zheng Pu's sentence "the frontiers of Jiangdong opened up the frontiers before the battle of Xiangfan" made him brood.

Gein also made him think again, the sentence before the death of his brother Sun Ce: "The people in the east of the Yangtze River will decide between the two Chens, and compete with the world. You are not as good as me; you can appoint talents and do your best." , to protect Jiangdong, I don’t know Qing.”

It is true that he is not as good as his elder brother Sun Ce in terms of decisiveness in conquest.

In the past, Sun Ce crossed the river with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and he was invincible, and he dominated the east of the river in just five years!
And it has been 35 years since he was entrusted to rule Jiangdong!

The land to be exploited is nothing more than the sneak attack of Jingnan by the ignorant Jiaozhou and Beimeng who want to fight.

And now, after the Battle of Xiangfan and the Battle of Yiling, Bashu, which has experienced external and internal troubles, can leave Longyou and return to Liangzhou, winning many battles!But Jiangdong, whose national power is stronger, has not gained an inch of land!

How sad!

Especially since he is over fifty years old, how many springs and autumns are left in his life?
For today's plan, but let's fight for the day and night!
This is the reason why he still shows his posture under the tacit understanding.

"Hehe~~~"

Laughing casually, Sun Quan turned to sit at the prepared banquet, and kindly stretched out his hand to invite Zheng Pu to sit with him, but Zhuge Rong, who had been accompanying him all the time, treated him like this.

"Let's go hunting. If you don't return with a full load, you will be fined half a year old!"

Sun Quan spoke to him like this, waving his hands as if to repel flies.

Perhaps it was out of anger that he didn't want to fight, that Zheng Pulue had tricked him so he came to see him in panic.

At this time, Gu Li also tactfully dismissed other idlers and poured wine for the two of them personally.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Zheng Pu saluted and sat down just now.

Therefore, the ground is a hunting ground, and the house is only for shelter from wind and rain, so it is quite small.When they were seated, Sun Quan and Zheng Pu's cases were also very close together, so that Zheng Pu could clearly see the wrinkles on Sun Quan's face.

Also, it is not difficult to find that the tiredness between Sun Quan's eyebrows is very deep.

It seems that I haven't slept peacefully for many days.

"Zheng Qing, I already know what my uncle told me."

After raising a bottle to invite a drink, Sun Quan said indifferently, "The letter from the scholar's family in Jiaozhou is a joke made by some meritorious juniors in Jiangdong. I have ordered Yousi to take responsibility. Zheng Qing should not think about it."

After finishing speaking, before Zheng Pu could respond, he sighed again, "These juniors often rely on their father and brother's meritorious deeds to speak falsely and contradict their deeds, and they don't think that now there are mountains in the east of the river causing disaster, bandits and bandits are in chaos, and there are people dying outside." Jiangdong's undying anti-Wei is eyeing him! Alas~~ Your country is safe and peaceful. Since the rebellion in the south of the country was suppressed, the barbarians and wealthy people have been conscientious and conscientious in the Northern Expedition. I am really envious of you!"

This is a question for me, can Jiangdong follow the example of the Han Dynasty and make the nobles use their lives as kings?
Hearing this, Zheng Pu understood.

After thinking about it for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "A forest of orange thorns has no quality of beams and pillars; a trickle of water has no momentum of floods. The foreign ministers secretly thought that the people of the mountains and the mountains, the rebellious bandits and bandits all gathered in the dangerous mountains and deep swamps. It is a disease of ringworm and scabies. If you send good generals from outside to approach them with soldiers, and send the shepherds of counties and counties to spread them with benevolence and righteousness, you will be able to calm your ears in a short time. Those who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty, although the national power is strong, but after the battle of Shiting in your country, Huaiyou did not have a strong army. Those who obey the king."

At this point, Zheng Pu paused slightly, "Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and those grown in Huaibei are oranges. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different. Our country's politics may not be established in Jiangdong, so I ask your majesty to forgive foreign ministers for not Put the beak also."

"good!"

After hearing this, Sun Quan clapped his hands and praised.

Immediately, Nai smiled happily, and said softly, "Since Zheng Qing said so, I will not force it. However, I don't want Zheng Qing to interfere with our Jiangdong politics, but to hear about the politics of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty! And here Zheng Qing doesn't need to worry if his words are not passed on to other people's ears."

really
He is treacherous and charming, just like me!
Secretly said, Zheng Pu smiled and said softly, "No, the minister's wisdom is not as good as the Prime Minister's, so let's just talk nonsense. If there is any omission or madness, I hope Your Majesty will not be responsible."

After speaking modestly, he solemnly said, "Foreign ministers have never been famous for virtue in the Han Dynasty. I saw that since Liu Yan, eight out of ten families of Yizhou nobles thought of chaos. The big ones should not be lost, and the country and the family should be cautious." I admonished Prime Minister Zhuge, and asked the prime minister to rule according to the law. But the prime minister is benevolent and does not want to do things that will be punished without teaching."

"Later, the prime minister chose another virtuous plan, which was based on the law of Shuke, prohibiting the use of the strong to invade the weak; using the violent and tyrannical government of the Wei Dynasty as a metaphor for the officials and the people, in an attempt to unite the whole country with the courage of the enemy. And relying on the wealthy family's drive for profit, the fake official position has nothing to do with it. My disciples, lure them by painting the land in Hanzhong, divide their clans, and move their powers, so that all counties and counties can have Qingming. Today, our Han army is out of Longyou to Fuliangzhou, and it is given by the Silk Road trade and Hexi pastures. In other words, it is also the time when the nobles in Yizhou send out their own funds to support the army, and the imperial court can use their orders.”

"Um"

Sun Quan, who was still beaming at first, has restrained his face and groaned.

When he was young, he said with a little disappointment, "The big branch puts his heart on his heart, Zheng Qing's words hit the target with one arrow! But there is no place in Jiangdong like Hanzhong with few people and rich abundance, so it is difficult to follow Prime Minister Zhuge's strategy!"

hehe~~
Is it because there is no place similar to Hanzhong that the wealthy family does not want to die?

Involuntarily, Zheng Pu felt amused.

Because in his opinion, the biggest reason why those wealthy families in Jiangdong are unwilling to serve is not that Sun Ce killed too much in the past, or that he gave the guests and brigades a place to raise soldiers, which infringed their interests, but that Sun Ce's family status was too low Ear!
The Sun family in Fuchun is not a descendant of the princes and Miao, or the family of hairpin tassels for generations, with no name and no weapons!

Just like Sun Jian was famous all over the world in the past, but when Sun Ce visited Lu Kang, Lu Kang dismissed the meeting and asked the master to do it for him.

In the eyes of those aristocratic families, the Sun family is not enough to sit at the same table with them.

Now that the Sun family dominates Jiangdong, although they serve as officials, they are forced to do so because of the inheritance of the family, and they are not willing to use all their family heritage to establish the Central Plains for the Sun family.Not only does it feel that there is no chance for the south to unite the north, but it also stems from the deep-rooted concept that the Sun family is not the destiny.

Therefore, everyone hopes to draw a river and rule it, and they often have a heart of peace.

Naturally, with such a guess, Zheng Pu would not say it out loud, and he still hoped that Jiangdong would send troops!

"Your Majesty's words, please forgive me for not agreeing with my ministers."

After a little thought, he said, "It is true that in the land of Jiangdong, the rice fields are fertile and the people are never hungry. Therefore, most of the rich people are greedy for comfort and have no enterprising heart. However, if your majesty saves other labor, you can Do farming and mulberry to increase military capital; repair boats and vehicles, increase combat equipment, so that they are both full; raise soldiers and civilians, so that everyone can find their own places; recruit handsome men, reward soldiers, destroy Hefei in the First World War, and Xiashouchun, Your Majesty lures them with the richness of the Central Plains. Why don't the noble families compete with each other to kill each other?"

Break Hefei Xiashouchun?

As soon as these words came out, a gleam of light flashed in Sun Quan's eyes.

Nai took a deep breath, his beard and hair were all high, and he humbly asked for advice, "I have heard for a long time that Zheng Qing has the ability to plan, which is no less than the filial piety of the old law! The prime minister of your country often discusses with Zheng Qing, and he benefits a lot from it. The Wu and Han countries are allied with each other, and now the Han has come out of Longyou, and I also intend to fight against Wei together, but it is rare to have a good plan! If Zheng Qing has something to teach, please don’t hesitate to explain it.”
