Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 667

Yu's firm can gain a quick foothold in Jianye, apart from Sun Quan's silent support behind the scenes, those novelty goods in the firm are also Hu Ke's magic weapon for victory.

Due to the special relationship between Yu's firm and Guangzhou, a large number of things used for life, pleasure, and extravagance entered Jianye. Special objects made by Guangzhou craftsmen workshops, such as cochin pearls, agate, ivory, and jadeite, were purchased by Hu Ke Merchant Ships. main goods.

There were a few luxuries left in Yu's Commercial Firm, but Hu Ke didn't want to break the connection with Guangzhou, so he took the opportunity to give Sun Quan some advice. If navigation and trade with Jingzhou can be resumed, Hu Ke will be able to match up with Lantian again. , such as how the Sima brothers deal with it, can also get the answers above.

Sun Quan frowned slightly after hearing this, nodded lightly and said: "Cao Pi took advantage of his military power to trick Jiang Dong, I really can't respond passively like this, it is time to restore the relationship with Liu Bei, if Wei Guo continues to invade in the future, it may still be There will be more foreign aid”

"My lord's opinion." Hu Ke clasped his fists in compliment.

"I'll let Lu Boyan handle it. The remains of General Han, Wen Gui and others have to go back to Jiangdong for burial as soon as possible. I can't get any news about Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. It really makes me sleepless. I sincerely hope you wait patiently for a while." Days, I believe navigation will be resumed." Sun Quan comforted him.

Hu Ke smiled and nodded, "My lord, you have a plan in mind, and you have nothing to worry about in the end. Last year, the spy trapped in Guangzhou may be very dangerous. I will take this opportunity to train another batch, and I can send them out after the navigation is completed."

"Very good. Very good." Sun Quan nodded in relief, then turned and walked out the door, thinking that Yu Xiu was still more reliable than the others, and the rest were not as far ahead as he thought.

When Sun Quan returned to the car, Zhang Wen saw the exquisite wooden box and asked with a smile, "It seems that the lord has chosen the one he likes."

"Zecheng is considerate and cautious. If Huishu's family is too busy, you can ask him to help share it. Could it be because he is older than you, so you can't speak?" Sun Quan sat down and took the place Hu Ke said something good.

Zhang Wen responded with a smile, "Zecheng is indeed capable, and I will ask him for help."

"I will wait and see." Sun Quan nodded meaningfully.

The trade between Jiangdong and Jingzhou was interrupted due to the war, and many big merchants who had tasted the sweetness were unwilling to eat. They spoke to Sun Quan through the gentry behind them, saying that no matter how big the conflict between Sun and Liu was, they still wanted to trade with Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. The output of Jiangdong can no longer meet the needs of the local people.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

The gentry and common people in Jiangdong, after enjoying the abundance of supplies, returned to the life of simple tea and light food and coarse linen. Without the novelty furniture and supplies in Guangzhou, and without the "Yangtze River News" that can watch the world, Jiangdong people will be born. The strong sense of gap also makes them miss the past and those good old days.

After discussing with the ministers, Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to start negotiations with Jingzhou with full authority, demanding that Jiangdong's interests be restored to the previous state of commerce and trade, and asking for the remains of Jiangdong's dead soldiers so that they could return to their hometowns and be buried in peace. .

Lu Xun received the order to go to Wuchang in person, and negotiated with Gan Ning with peace and sincerity.

At this time, Wuchang was still being expanded. Lu Xun saw that Wuchang's fortifications were mainly for defense, and he would not continue to invade the east after such a big effort. Lu Xun also guessed Liu Bei's intention to use this place as the boundary between Sun and Liu. It is believed that there is a great opportunity to resume trade and commerce.

Lu Xun also saw that Gan Ning was good at running the army. Liu Bei guarded the eastern part of Jingzhou, and Jiangdong basically had no chance of sneak attack in the past.

Gan Ning was surprised by Jiang Dong's actions, thinking that it would take a hundred days to hurt his muscles and bones?Jiang Dong sent people to negotiate so quickly, is it another new conspiracy?
Before Lan Tian left, he asked Gan Ning to pay special attention to Lu Xun, saying that although he was little-known, he was the most powerful threat in Jiangdong.

Lan Tian's words were always accurate, and Gan Ning had to be serious. Facing Lu Xun's request for trade, he sent people to Xiangyang to report the situation, and at the same time sent people to Guangzhou to ask for instructions.

Gan Ning's messenger arrived in Guangzhou in mid-November. When he arrived, he found out that Lan Tian had not been at home for half a year, and that Jiang Wan was handling the government affairs of Jiaozhou on his behalf.

The messenger then hurried to Jieyang, passing through Zengcheng and Boluo on the way, and found that the fallen soldiers were training in the field. These fallen soldiers were all sixteen or seventeen years old and full of vigor. They were recruits recruited by Gao Shun with Lan Yuan. They are now The high-intensity training is to prepare for the conquest of Lin Yiguo next spring.

The courier hurried to Longchuan to rest, and found that there were still many barbarian soldiers patrolling nearby. After asking, they found out that they were under the command of Samoko. They were invited to Longchuan for "training". Jieyang.

In the local battlefield of Longchuan last year, thousands of Luling officers and soldiers pretended to cross the border and successfully contained Shamoke for two months. Later, Lanyuan used the method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, and the bandits pretending to be Wang Jin invaded Nanye County and crossed the border. Only then did the Luling officers and troops retreat to defend.

Wang Jin's team of "bandits" in Nanye, Ganxian and other places played tricks on Ding Feng, and even kidnapped Yu Fan's family, the magistrate of Nanye County. This incident had a great impact on the counties in the south of Luling.

After the war, more than half of the people in the three counties of Nanye, Ganxian, and Yudu moved to Longchuan County with their families and their families. At first, the Yue people took the lead in fleeing, but later it also affected the settlement at the foot of the mountain. of the Han people.

The mountains in the south of Luling are vertical and horizontal. The three counties of Nanye, Ganxian and Yudu are located in the valley of Yuzhang River and Gan River, and further south is Dayuling (one of the Five Mountains) at the junction of Jiaozhou.

The Dayuling Mountains are intertwined with high mountains, ravines, and mountain streams are densely covered. Even if Ding Feng's garrison was stationed at the mouths of the valleys, they could not stop the determination of the people to flee south.

Those mountains are like the separation wall between the United States and Mexico. Mexicans are rushing to the free country in the north regardless of their own lives. After all, the beautiful land is so attractive, not to mention the beautiful scenery every day.

The mass exodus of the people in the south of Luling did not happen overnight. After Long Jie Dudu Tan Dingzhou took office, he used his own advantage of being a Yue people to send a large number of Yue people to infiltrate across the border, portraying Jiaozhou as a holy place on earth.

After years of infiltration in Tanding Zhou, when Wang Jin led the "bandit" to invade Nanye County, it directly detonated the emotions of the people.

The bandits came and went freely in the southern part of Luling, and even the county magistrate's family was taken away by the bandits. This area has no sense of security. In addition, there is not much fertile land, which is occupied by big landlords in various counties. Life was hard.

In the past, there was a word of mouth from the Yue people that the terrain in Longchuan was better and flatter; later, there was a policy that was very attractive, and there was land distribution for migration and naturalization. In the first two years, there was no need to pay taxes to the government, so the vast area in the south of Luling The common people, including the Han people, all crave for it.
