Shu Chen

Chapter 318
The flowers bloomed with the red trees and the warblers crowed, and the egrets flew in the grass Changping Lake.

In the afterglow of the sunset in Jiangdong in early April, Zheng Pu and Zhuge Rong drove in the same car to the General's Mansion of the State of Wu and returned. There were also a lot of prey in the car, such as birds, wild hogs, and deer.

But this is also the reason for Zhuge Rong's decline.

After all, he still didn't hunt enough prey, so his half-year salary was fined.

Although the vast majority of Jiangdong officials would not rely on that little salary to live on, but as a close minister of the emperor, his salary was fined. Isn't it a sharp drop in the holy family?

Can Ann not make him worry about gains and losses?
And Zheng Pu, the instigator, squinted at it, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Thinking that he was doing it for himself, he tilted his head and pointed at the neatly folded tiger skin, and said softly, "After I came to Jianye, I have been taken care of by Mr. Ge. I can't repay you, so I want to give it to you with a tiger skin." It’s a brief expression of my heart, but I hope you don’t dislike it.”

"Zheng Jun said too much."

Hearing this, Zhuge Rong, who woke up from his grief, quickly waved his hands and smiled, "It's my good fortune to get to know Mr. Zheng! And this is also what my brother ordered, Mr. Zheng, don't be polite. Besides, the gift from His Majesty, How dare I accept it?"

Several tiger skins were given by Sun Quan at the parting banquet.

In addition, there is also a dendrobium with large pearls, water essence, jadeite and tortoiseshell dendrobium, which is the result of Xie Zhengpu's generous contribution.

It's just that the big pearls and tortoise shells were not stored in the hunting ground, so some palace people would send them to Zhuge's mansion where Zheng Pu lived temporarily.

"Why don't you dare to accept it?"

Zheng Pu smiled coyly, "Gentlemen have the friendship of sharing wealth. When I was in Longyou, I also tried to share with Brother Bo Song the things bestowed by the emperor of our country. You don't have to shy away from it, Mr. Ge."

Brother Bosson.
After Zhuge Rong listened, a little thought flashed in his eyes.

When he was young, Fang let out a sigh of emotion, "Oh, I haven't heard Brother Zhong's voice for a long time. I think back in the past, when Brother Zhong entered Shu, I was not yet crowned, but now I have children around my knees!"

Although this person's intelligence is not as good as that of his father and brother, his temperament is quite pure.

Secretly said in his heart, Zheng Pu thought for a while, and then said softly, "Ge Jun, to be honest, I still have something to entrust, but Ge Jun is not given the gift of the tiger skin, which makes me ashamed to mention it."

"what?"

Zhuge Rong was taken aback.

Immediately, he said generously, "What is Zheng Jun asking me for? But it's okay to say, if I do what I can, there will be no excuses."

But Zheng Pu remained silent, just smiled and looked at the tiger skin.

The meaning is obvious.If Zhuge Rong didn't accept the gift of the tiger skin, he wouldn't trust him.

"Hahaha~~~"

It also made Zhuge Rong smile heartily, and waved his hands helplessly, "That's all! That's all! Zheng Jun, let's talk, let's talk. I received the gift of the tiger skin."

"good!"

Zheng Pu clapped his hands and smiled.

He wanted to sell the big pearls and tortoise shells and other things that Sun Quan had donated and exchange them for food and fodder to take back, but he was unfamiliar with Jiangdong and had no time to deal with them, so he wanted to entrust them to Zhuge Rong.

It may be said that it seems a bit impolite to bother Zhuge Rong with such a cheap businessman.

In fact, it is a hidden mystery.

Zheng Pu wanted to see if the second generation of nobles from Jiangdong could send food and fodder to Badong County and the Han army.

If it is possible, then the big man can organize a caravan and sell the war horses to the children of the Jiangdong wealthy clan in the name of the Bashu wealthy clan.

The amount of grain reserves is related to the stability of the country.

Even if Sun Quan intends to form a cavalry, he still buys war horses in batches, which cannot meet the shortage of food and fodder for the big man in a short time.But if the wealthy families who are connected to the counties and counties of Qianmo and whose manor houses are spread across Jingyang and Yangzhou are also moved by the news, it will be almost the same.

After all, there are countless wealthy and meritorious families in Jiangdong!

Moreover, the price of private sales must be higher than that of the official.

In fact, when Zhuge Ke was on an envoy before, the big man planned to promote folk horse trading.

But at that time, the big man only recaptured the land of Longyou, and there were not many war horses, and it didn't take long for Jiangdong to have contacts with Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, which lowered the price of the big man's war horses.

"It's such a trivial matter that you bother Zheng Jun?"

After hearing what Zheng Pu entrusted, just asking him to exchange the jewels for food and fodder, Zhuge Rong suddenly smiled, "I'll just ask the family stewards about this matter." After finishing speaking, he tilted his head in thought and was very kind He suggested, "Big pearls and other curiosities are not expensive in Jianye. If Mr. Zheng is not in a hurry, my family also has a manor in Jingnan, and people can bring their curiosities to Jingnan to sell them. Get more food and fodder."

"In this case, I will be disrespectful, haha~~~"

Zheng Pu couldn't help laughing, and cupped his hands in thanks, "Ge Jun's kindness to others is sincerely a friend from the bottom of my heart! After I return to Longyou, I will definitely find a good horse and send it to Jiangdong, so that I can travel with Zhuang Gejun Prestige!"

"The ceremony is heavy! The ceremony is heavy!"

Zhuge Rong immediately declined.

The two argued back and forth, and in the end Zhuge Rong gave away a thousand hu grains and fodder, and accepted Zheng Pu's kindness with a half-buy and half-gift.At the end, he also happily said, "Maybe Zheng Jun doesn't know that there are few war horses in Jiangdong, even if the sons of the clan or the families of giants, it is difficult to find good horses to ride."

Alas!
It's so "interesting" evil!

Zheng Pu smiled suddenly when he heard the words, without any hesitation, he said bluntly, "If it's like what Ge Jun said, I can deal with it on my behalf. My family has its own caravan for profit. Although it only travels to and from Sichuan, I also know a lot of people. Merchants of the Badi clan."

Hunting ground, shelter from the rain.

The rays of the setting sun had spread to the front of the case, but Sun Quan, who was silently groaning, still had no intention of going back.

Although his gaze has been on Zheng Pu's strategy spread out on the case table, his mind has long been lost in reminiscence.Hearing the strategy offered by Zheng Pu today reminded him again of Zhou Yu's "conspiracy to divide the world" and Lu Su's "strategy on the couch".

Back in the day, Jiangdong was full of talented people and worked together as one, so it was able to maintain a strong foundation in Jiangzuo.

But now, it has been a long time since anyone offered advice or discussed how to build a future for him.

It's not just because of the premature death of Yingcai.

Ugh.
In the past, Yuan Shu often lamented, "If you have sons like Sun Lang, how can you hate death!"

Now when he sees Zheng Pu, he also feels sorry for him.

It's not that there is a bad heir who hates his heirs. The prince Sun Deng has good conduct and has shown his benevolent style.

Rather, he wanted to have a courtier like Zhou Yu and Lu Su back then.

Although compared with Zhou and Lu, Zheng Pu has the reputation of vengeance and scars on his face, but his ability to plan the general situation of the world and his unselfishness for the benefit of the country are roughly similar.

"The one with the blemishes is a big trouble for Wei!"

Sun Quan, who put away the Luce cloth and hid it in his sleeve, stood up according to the case, and slowly came out facing the fiery sunset, "I just don't know, will it be a big trouble for me in the future?"

Gu Li, who followed suit, his eyes fluttered slightly upon hearing this.

After thinking for a while, it was like muttering to himself in a low voice, letting the voice drift into Sun Quan's ears inadvertently.

"Thieves against the Wei Dynasty will never die, the waterways around Jiangxia have been quite disturbed recently~~"
