Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 3548: The situation is tense

There are still some aristocratic families leaving secretly, but these aristocratic families paid a heavy price before leaving.

The gradual development of the strength of the aristocratic families does not bring much benefit to the Wu State. When more aristocratic families rise, the living space of the people is greatly compressed. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, their family's interests are the most important.

, they did not take the life and death of ordinary people into consideration.

In the past, the monarch also treated ordinary people in this way, but when the survival of more people is challenged, when the monarch cannot get more rice from the people, the monarch will still allow such things to develop.

.

Controlling the land is of great significance to the monarch. Harvesting rice from the land is the basis for the development of the country. After the aristocratic family caused more people to lose their fields and became tenant farmers of the aristocratic family, they were to the greatest extent possible.

The country's strength has been reduced. Faced with this situation, the monarch will definitely take action against the aristocratic family.

The situation in Jiangdong is actually a reflection of the Han Dynasty at that time, but the emperor at that time was fatuous and did not see the situation below, and thought that the Han Dynasty was in prosperity.

After returning to Jianye, Lu Su immediately returned to Sun Quan and told him what he had seen and heard about his trip to Jin as well as some speculations.

The situation in Jiangdong has reached a tense point. Many people can see this. If Jiangdong cannot gain a greater advantage in the battle with Jin, Jiangdong may be wiped out by Jin in future wars.

, this is what scares the Jiangdong family the most.

In fact, the Jin State is preparing to invade Jiangdong. This can be seen from the training of the army. The armies of Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou are intensifying their training in order to be able to gain victory in the battle against the Jiangdong Army.

A bigger deed, when the forces of these armies are combined, what kind of power will explode.

Sun Quan also understood that winning the battle against the Jin State would be a great test for the Jiangdong Army. I am afraid that even Nanhai County will not be able to hold on after the war begins.

Even if the Jiangdong Army wins the battle against the Jin Army, it will be a tragic victory. As for taking advantage of the victory to pursue and take over the city that originally belonged to the Jin State, it is also very difficult. In terms of water warfare, the Jiangdong Army

It is unique, but after arriving on the ground, would the Jiangdong Army dare to confront the Jin Army? Why did Sun Quan not take action when Chang'an was in critical condition due to the plague? It was not because Sun Quan did not have such an idea, but in the face of the Jin State.

The army must be more cautious, otherwise the monarch's careless choice may put Jiangdong in crisis.

One month later, the situation in Jiangdong became even more tense. Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and even Jiaozhou conducted strict inspections on the merchants of Wu State. The so-called strict inspections directly controlled the merchants.

The merchants were not allowed to leave, and within a month, the number of merchants going to Jiangdong gradually decreased to very few merchants.

During this period, many merchants went to Jiangdong to sell war horses. War horses were not only needed by soldiers in the army, but also some aristocratic families who had military commanders and perhaps dandy sons also needed war horses. The Jin State had previously strengthened its control over war horses.

Strength, now there are merchants selling war horses, which has caused good results in Jiangdong.

As for the idea that these aristocratic families would give the horses to soldiers in the army after paying for them, it is basically impossible. A fine war horse costs more than 30,000 yuan. The aristocratic families are not in the mood to pay such an expensive price.

Worrying about matters in the army, if there is an enemy invasion, is a matter for the officers and men of the army, and has nothing to do with the family.

Having nothing to do, riding a horse and wandering outside the city is still very good in the eyes of many children of aristocratic families. Besides, they have no higher requirements for the sophistication of war horses, but with excellent war horses, few aristocratic families

The children will choose ordinary war horses. The money is nothing to them, but the merchants need rice and grain, which gives the children of the aristocratic family some headaches.

The aristocratic family controls a lot of fields, and the rice grains produced in these fields are secretly hoarded by the aristocratic family. When it comes to rice, the aristocratic family has the most indispensable supply. Of course, they want to take the rice from the aristocratic family.

If you leave, it still depends on your ability.

Sometimes the aristocratic family is generous, but in some matters, they are extremely stingy. For the benefit of the family, they will even do unimaginable things.

After receiving the news from the city, Sun Quan's expression became a little gloomy. Fewer and fewer merchants went to Jiangdong. At this time, merchants selling horses appeared in Jiangdong, and they were sought after by the children of the aristocratic families. The most important thing was these

What businessmen need is rice and grain, and they ignore those who use money. Needless to say, these businessmen's purposes are not simple.

Exchanging rice grain for war horses was a common method used by the Jin State, because such a move allowed the Jin State to obtain a lot of rice grain. Now these merchants naturally reminded Sun Quan of the Jin State. At this time, it was very difficult for the Jin State to

It is possible that Lu Bu was secretly giving instructions.

The need for war horses is not only in the army, but also among the children of aristocratic families.

Sun Quan naturally coveted these war horses and wanted to control these merchants to take away their war horses. However, the number of war horses in the hands of these merchants was not large. Once these merchants were controlled, there might be new ones.

The trouble is, besides, merchants are distributed in various cities of Wu State.

From this point, Sun Quan saw Lu Bu's ability to collect wealth. In fact, the State of Wu also had caravans in the Central Plains. The purpose of these caravans was to buy more rice and transport it to Jiangdong. Many aristocratic families were still willing to do this.

To do it, the taxes of the people of the Jin State are low, and the system of the Jin State has many benefits for the people. This can make the people have more rice in their hands, and it is not very difficult to buy rice from the people.

If the price is reasonable, many people will still be willing to sell rice grains, and the money in exchange can be used to subsidize their families.

However, the Jin State strengthened the control of Jingzhou and other places, making it difficult for merchants to enter Jiangdong. It was simply impossible to get more rice from the Jin State. Officials from various places may have certain friendships with the Jiangdong families.

But the officers and soldiers in the army only know how to obey orders. After receiving orders, they must complete them to the letter. This is what the officers and soldiers in the army need to do most.

As for someone coming to plead for these aristocratic families, they might be detained directly for the sake of the military officers. The military officers and soldiers are quite arrogant when doing things.
