Chapter 3527 Opening up a new path
Money is not omnipotent, but you must not have money.
The children of the Han gentry liked to go to extremes. On the surface, they were so noble that they looked disgusted when they talked about money. In fact, they used any means to absorb authority and interests.
Sun Quan was not ashamed to talk about money, and he also thought that Huang Gai was better to talk about money. If he didn't talk about money at all, it would be a bad thing.
"The New Year is just over, and the warehouse is empty, and the southern counties are in chaos. I am afraid that this year I will lose three or four. "Sun Quan did not mention the loss of war, because it sounds like Sun Quan was going to blame Huang Gai. Even if it was actually the case, it would not sound nice.
Huang Gai nodded, but didn't say anything. He also knew these situations, understanding is just understanding, and eating is just eating.
It's like some bulls and horses like to understand capitalists, but when bulls and horses can't eat, capitalists won't understand it. Most capitalists will accuse them almost instinctively, "Isn't it because of being lazy?"
Whether Sun Quan is lazy or not, it is not Huang Gai's turn to comment. However, if Sun Quan makes everyone unable to eat and says that Huang Gai and others are lazy, then the problem will be big.
Sun Quan was obviously not stupid either. He whispered: "The only way to open source is to do this now."
"Open Source?" Huang Gai's eyebrows moved, "Master, please give me instructions."
He naturally prefers this word to throttling.
Sun Quan nodded, "Have you heard of Liu Xuande, Jiaozhi?"
"But General Liu Xuande?" Huang Gai asked.
Sun Quan nodded.
"I heard that this Zuo General belonged to the command of the cavalry?" Huang Gai asked again.
Sun Quan waved his hand, "No, he is a guest general, and it is like the past when he was in Jingzhou."
Huang Gai suddenly realized.
The first red flower double stick in the man.
However, Huang Gai still didn't understand. Could it be that Sun Quan wanted to conspire with Liu Bei to counterattack Sichuan and Shu?
This is not good.
Huang Gai fought with the Sichuan and Shu navy. He knew the effectiveness of the Sichuan and Shu navy. Zhou Yu had just passed away now. Although there is indeed a tactic of "sading soldiers" in terms of military tactics, not all situations can be regarded as "sading soldiers"!
The so-called "sad soldiers" are not just sadness, but to turn sadness into anger. Otherwise, if you cry, you will have no combat power?
Just like in the Midi, being cheated by a real estate capitalist, it is useless to be sad. From the young lady in the sales office to the cleaner who sweeper, no one will give him any sympathy because of the heartbreak. He will even stand next to the real estate capitalist, saying that it is not easy for a capitalist. Until this honest man turns sadness into anger and comes with an axe, he will realize that something is not good.
Therefore, Sun Quan wanted to engage in "sad soldiers", which was not impossible, but how to turn sadness into anger was the key to the problem.
In the war with Sichuan and Sichuan, I won’t mention justice or not. Anyway, this thing is like a fig leaf. If you put it on and take it off, then wear it and take it off for too many times, you will even forget whether it has been worn or taken off. After all, only those who are truly on the side of the people can be said to be justice, otherwise it will be just a gimmick.
Moreover, in order to "sad soldiers", you may not be able to backfire. If you really want to play this tactic, you must have strong organizational and coordination capabilities, and have clear combat goals and tasks, and allocate resources reasonably. Otherwise, even if you can "sad soldiers" for a while, after fighting a battle, eat, drink, sleep, and then calm down, and still feel sad?
What the Jiangdong Army lacks most now is the mutual trust and support between soldiers and generals, so there is no cohesion at all. If Sun Quan really wanted to do this, he would not say that he would lose confidence in Jiangdong once he entered the battle formation, and would have surrendered in large quantities!
Unless there is any fatal mistake in the Sichuan and Shu army or the cavalry army, such as Fei Qian suddenly became confused, withdrew from the front line for no reason, or transferred Zhuge Liang back to Chang'an with twelve gold medals, etc.
Huang Gai waited for Sun Quan to give the final answer, and then prepared to refute.
After Sun Quan looked at Huang Gai and said oh, he remained silent and his heart was turbulent.
To be honest, whether it is an official or a monarch, the most important thing is people, money and property!
For Sun Quan, all three items are empty.
Sun Quan is somewhat clear about Jiangdong's family background, but seeing Huang Gai's appearance, he still feels very unhappy.
Jiangdong is in trouble. As a general of Jiangdong, shouldn’t he be together? Why do he look like he is arrogant and waiting for Sun Quan, the "subject" to offer his plan?
Sun Quan gritted his teeth in secret.
Jiangdong is now in need of money everywhere. The so-called advance payment is actually just a cover-up of the bell. It is nothing more than a temporary debt and a return when you have money. The previous debt has not been paid back, and the latter debt has arisen. In the end, the economy will collapse and the whole thing will be ruined.
The places where money is spent cannot be delayed. The spring plowing in the local area requires seeds, and the casualties of the army need to be compensated. In addition, the officials start work after the festival, daily meal expenses, and post-pacity reconstruction work in the Shanyue area are all cost money!
For the Han economic system, the financial means were quite weak, otherwise Emperor Sun would not have repeatedly issued inflation as ten or hundreds of dollars in the later period and reaped the wealth of the people.
So for Sun Quan, what he most hopes is that Huang Gai and others can support him in a fight with Jiangdong and other natives, and then divide the property of those guys into food and drink. However, Sun Quan also understood that if he thought about it, it would be difficult to do it. Not to mention whether Huang Gai was willing or not, there were many Jiangdong soldiers alone who were natives from Jiangdong. If they really fought, Sun Quan would not be completely sure who the swords and guns were in the end.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only settle for the second best. "The only way to overthrow is to trade today! The cavalry can support soldiers and horses in the barren land of Yongliang, and it is reliable to trade! Liu Xuande is now located in Jiaozhi, with countless camphor beads, etc.! If he can sell it back and forth, his money will naturally be endless!"
Huang Gai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This method is pretty good!
Moreover, Huang Gai also knew what Sun Quan meant. If he wanted to take the money into his hands, he naturally needed to exclude the original Jiangdong gentry, and Huang Gai and others needed to protect him...
Huang Gai thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "The lord's plan is great! Although Gai is not talented, he is willing to worry about him!"
Sun Quan smiled on his face and felt irritated.
I just looked arrogant, but now I see that it is profitable, so I am willing to share my worries?
Originally, this commerce was Sun Quan's exclusive business, but Sun Quan's own fleet had too few ships, and the time interval between exchanges, so he did not make much money. Now he divided this trade route, on the one hand, to win over Huang Gai and other generals, after all, it was just a verbal big cake. Even if Huang Gai and others agreed, Sun Quan did not believe it. Only the binding of interests was the most reliable way. On the other hand, Jiangdong's wealth was really too dependent on the land of the Jiangdong gentry. Now that he does not want to continue to be stuck in the throat of the Jiangdong gentry, he must vigorously develop this trade route, and he must rely on the power of Huang Gai and others.
As for whether there will be any new problems in this process, Sun Quan now has no way to care about it. He can only take one step at a time, and then he told Huang Gai about the "hookup" between himself and Liu Bei, and asked Huang Gai to go to the East China Sea to prepare for a large-scale trade...
...
...
Liu Bei's life was not good or bad during this period.
In the spring of last year, Liu Bei sent a letter to Fei Qian, asking for some gunpowder, saying that it was used to open mountains.
Fei Qian did not agree, not for the so-called technical barriers, but for the fact that gunpowder is really inconvenient for long-distance transportation, especially in the hilly mountains and rainforests in the south, even if it was transported to Jiaozhi, it might have become a waste.
Fei Qian wrote a reply letter, saying that it is not possible for the time being. He has to wait until some technical problems are solved before sending gunpowder to Liu Bei.
However, for Liu Bei, it was expected that he did not get gunpowder.
Liu Bei just wanted to test Fei Qian's attitude in this way, and also used this to express that Jiaozhi "has nothing, everything is very poor."
After all, the Jiaozhi area is a bit embarrassing. It is really big, but it is really big. There are more than a dozen well-known tribal kingdoms alone, but it is really small. There are mountains on one side and sea on the other side, and then a little bit of land between mountains and seas.
Even the air smells fishy.
Liu Bei could barely adapt.
Guan Yu didn't care, and even liked to lead the fleet to sail, but only Mr. Zhang really didn't like the sea. He liked the land, the dry environment, and...
Raising pigs.
The small indigenous kingdom in this place is really unchallenging. After Zhang Fei destroyed two so-called "countries", he was embarrassed to record them...
The reason is that these so-called "countries" are too small. Two or three villages on a mountain dare to be called "countries". Moreover, the guys inside have some patterns on their faces, which means that they are the reincarnation of a god, and their descendants are even more capable of bragging than the emperor of the Han Dynasty...
Ah, no, the Emperor of Han is the Emperor of Han, how can these guys compare with the Emperor of Han?
And it's really not challenging at all!
Every time he attacked, Zhang Fei seemed to have just been aroused, and then he picked up his spear...
Oh, hold up the spear.
Just poked it twice and it was over...
Not having fun at all?!
So later, Zhang Fei lost interest in attacking these indigenous tribes, and he was idle and had nothing to do, so he returned to his old business and let these people raise pigs by arresting kings and princes of the indigenous "countries".
As a result, these people also disappointed Zhang Fei.
If you can't even raise pigs well, what else can you do?
『Ha...bah!bah!』
I wonder if a bug felt that Zhang Fei's beard and mouth looked like a suitable warm nest, so he flew into Zhang Fei's mouth, causing Zhang Fei to spit out several times before spitting out the bug.
"Gugugugu...bah! Damn little bug!"
Zhang Fei muttered, although his muttering was like the volume of a normal person's speech.
Perhaps it was because of the early years that pigs were slaughtered, and the screams of the pigs before they died at close range affected part of Zhang Fei's hearing, so he always felt that he should be louder so that others could hear them.
Moreover, for Zhang Fei, his life in killing a pig has had far more than just hearing.
Zhang Fei likes to eat pork, but pigs in Jiaozhi are often not suitable for consumption.
If the pig house is not cleaned regularly and some protective measures are taken, pigs are actually prone to illness and parasites will occur. But the problem is exactly here. The natives in Jiaozhi area are too lazy to be surprised!
Although there was no scientific and standardized pig farming model in later generations in ancient times, as long as the cleaning work is done well, especially in the areas where pig activities are controlled, the chance of pig infection can be greatly reduced.
Mr. Zhang San thinks these things are not very difficult.
Although there were no modern building materials and facilities in ancient times, we tried to choose places with higher terrain and good drainage to build pig houses.
Is this fucking difficult?
Don’t let the pig stay in humid and dark places for a long time, clean up the accumulated water in the pig house in time to keep the pig house relatively dry.
Is this fucking difficult?
Especially, clean pigs' feces and urine in a timely manner. As long as these excrements are cleaned out in time, the environment can be maintained sanitation, and the pigs will not be trampled and contaminated everywhere!
As for what medicine is used, what is observing the status of the pig, etc., Mr. Zhang San felt that these guys might not understand, and did not emphasize letting them do it. It was just that these most basic requirements were just impossible!
These guys would rather sit down and gather together in groups of three or three to brag and chat for most of the day, but they would rather work...
But when you want to eat pork, these guys will come faster than dogs!
Moreover, these lazy guys will exaggerately say that the pork is simply more delicious than the dragon meat in the sky!
Simply put, these guys just don’t want to do things, but they also want to eat meat!
"Really Muraoke..."
Zhang Fei originally thought that his beating and scolding these people would give them a better memory, but in the end, Zhang Fei discovered that these guys only remembered Zhang Fei beating and scolding them. As for why they beat and scolded and how to avoid being beaten and scolded the next time, they were not within their memory!
As for these native women, they are really diligent, willing to do anything, and are even willing to help Zhang Fei warm the bed. However, the problem is that Zhang Fei's aesthetic standards are not the buck teeth and the buckling nose bridge, and his dirty appearance makes Zhang Fei not interested at all.
In some aspects, the Chinese culture of the Han Dynasty is crushing for a few tribes around it...
For example, the country that claims to be the best in the universe, and even in the Ming Dynasty, there were records that local indigenous women exposed their upper bodies and just surrounded them with a skirt that looked like bed sheets.
It's interesting to say that the stick surrounds the bed sheets and Dongwu puts his pillow on his back. If he gets a bunch of them, wouldn't he live together?
『Brother!!!" Zhang Fei jumped to Liu Bei in a hurry, "Die! Dead!!"
Liu Bei took a quick breath and felt his heartbeat and breathing, "Third brother...who is dead?"
"Brother, pig!" Zhang Fei stared at him and blew his beard.
Liu Bei:『…』
Can you speak well?
If Liu Bei hadn't been used to Zhang Fei's way of speaking for so many years, wouldn't Liu Bei faint?
Zhang Fei sat down and patted his thighs, "Damn it, those guys deserve to die! The sow that he finally got pregnant was not good enough, and he fell to the ravine and died!"
Liu Bei also slapped his legs and 'reprimanded them!'
"I'm fined! I've whipped them one by twenty whips!"
Liu Bei nodded, "That's about it."
"But the pig is dead!" Zhang Fei was still angry, "This is a sow, and he can give birth to a piglet! As a result, the sow is dead, and the piglet is gone!"
Liu Bei's eyes rolled for a moment, and changed the topic, "There is something... I'm going to discuss it with my third brother..."
After spending a long time with Zhang Fei, Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei would sometimes fall into a stubborn state. In such a situation, it is not so easy to make a clear statement, so it is better to just change the topic.
Zhang Fei was indeed attracted by what Liu Bei said and stopped thinking about that pig, "Brother!! What's the matter?"
"Yeah..." Liu Bei thought about it.
In fact, now in Jiaozhi, Liu Bei's family is dominant. No matter it is the Rinan County or the Poluman in the neighboring country, he dares not be angry...
By the way, why is the small country on the south side of the sun called "Poluman"?
So Liu Bei has gained a lot of weight now and his waist is getting longer.
『By the way...Jiangdong!』
Liu Bei really remembered something serious.
『Jiangdong?』 Zhang Fei was puzzled, 『What's wrong with Jiangdong? Have you sent someone again?』
Liu Bei said, "Not now... do you remember? Some time ago, someone from Jiangdong came to me and said that we wanted to fight Sichuan and Shu together?"
"Ann, what's wrong? Is Sichuan so easy to fight? My elder brother can't beat those fools in Jiangdong, can they beat them?" Zhang Fei looked down on the abacus of the guys in Jiangdong very much.
『Well... cough cough... don't mention the matter of Sichuan and Shu..." Liu Bei coughed twice, 『This is the case... Jiangdong wanted to trade with us at that time. Although I agreed, we had few ships at that time, so it was all Jiangdong people who came to us to buy things... Third brother, you know, Jiangdong caravan came over and went over with our fleet, the price was much different...』
Zhang Fei nodded, "That's true, what's wrong?"
Zhang Fei understands the transportation fee, the price of origin and other issues.
Liu Bei smiled, "Your second brother has not been idle for a while. He has run away in some places on the sea and fought many island pirates, so he naturally has a lot of ships..."
Unlike Zhang Fei who mainly fought on land, Guan Yu has now almost become the leader of the South China Sea pirates, and he also beat Jiaozhi and even the pirates and natives in Yazhou to scream.
Zhang Fei still couldn't understand what Liu Bei meant, "And, yes, my second brother is amazing!"
