"Yes, yes..."
Hearing what Tang Jian said, some officials and celebrities who were quick-witted began to nod in response.
As celebrities, how could they not see that Tang Jian was using the strategy of sacrificing the chariot to save the general.
If they couldn't even see this, then they really didn't deserve to be celebrities.
So a group of Jiangdong celebrities quickly took advantage of the situation and continued:
"We are gathered here tonight to raise money for the Marquis of Wu to buy war equipment and food."
"After all, fighting is not only about the fighting of soldiers in the front, but also a competition of logistical support."
"It is not a one-day or one-night battle for the Marquis of Wu to fight against Cao Cao, and the storage of food is also crucial."
"Therefore, for the Marquis of Wu, we are holding a banquet here to raise funds to help the Marquis of Wu defeat Cao as soon as possible!"
After Tang Jian finished speaking, even those who reacted slowly reacted.
They all began to climb up along the ladder set up by Tang Jian.
"Yes, yes, how can we sit idly by and watch the Marquis of Wu defeat Cao?"
"We are here tonight to raise funds."
Seeing that everyone began to nod, Sun Quan swept his green eyes over everyone and asked with a smile:
"You all said that you have no extra money at home a few days ago, why are you talking about raising funds for me today?"
"Are you lying to me?"
Among these people, Bu Zhi had to react in time.
Bu Zhi's eyes turned, and he quickly jumped out and said:
"Reply to the Marquis Wu, we really don't have any extra money at home."
"But, Lord Zhang Zhao has already donated 3,000 taels of gold!"
"With Lord Zhang as an example, no matter how poor we are, we must grit our teeth, live frugally, and save money to help the Marquis Wu defeat Cao!"
Gu Yong also hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang is so dignified, he is really a role model for our generation. Although I am not wealthy, I am willing to donate 500 taels of gold to help the Marquis Wu buy food and grass and serve as logistics."
Bu Zhi: "I will give 300 taels!"
Lu Ji, Xue Zong and others also stepped forward to express their opinions, saying that they would take out money to help Sun Quan buy food and grass equipment.
In an instant, a rough calculation was made.
A total of more than 6,000 taels of gold were obtained.
Converted into five-zhu coins, it is also nearly 70 million coins.
This sum of money can buy a lot of food and grass, enough for Sun Quan's army to survive the whole winter!
Everyone was jubilant, except Zhang Zhao, who suffered a loss.
He donated 3,000 taels alone!
The small fish behind him only donated 300 to 500 taels each.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhao had to swallow his anger.
The money has been given.
If he doesn't acknowledge it, then Sun Quan will not be able to pass this hurdle!
In desperation, he had to force a smile and said:
"As an old minister of Jiangdong, of course I have to share the worries of Wu Hou, even if I lose everything?"
The tense atmosphere was swept away, and the famous people of Jiangdong donated enthusiastically.
Sun Quan's face showed a satisfied smile.
In the end, Tang Jian donated ten taels symbolically, and Sun Quan smiled and asked people to accept it.
This crisis was resolved.
Just when Xu Lingji was relieved for Tang Jian, Sun Quan took Tang Jian's hand and said to everyone:
"Jianming raised more than 6,000 taels of gold for me overnight, so that I no longer have to worry about food and grass in Jiangdong. This is Jianming sent by God to help me!"
"I have decided to recommend Jianming as the Jiangzuo Lieutenant. Starting tomorrow, I will lead my troops to station in Shaxian and build more achievements."
After Sun Quan said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
So they thought that this matter was over!
Then, after Wu Hou left, his group of people would bid again.
Zhang Zhao just lost 3,000 taels of gold and suffered a dumb loss.
If there is another bid, then Zhang Zhao will definitely have no power to fight back!
These slightly weaker Jiangdong nobles can compete for the final ownership of Tang Jian.
But!
Never expected!
This Sun Quan actually wanted to recommend Tang Jian as the Jiangzuo Lieutenant and send him to Shaxian!
Shaxian is more than 400 miles downstream of Chibi, and Xiakou is further behind.
It can be said that it is sandwiched between the two forces of Zhou Yu and Liu Bei. The situation is extremely complicated and very dangerous.
A group of Jiangdong celebrities couldn't understand why Wu Hou sent such a genius to such a dangerous place?
However, Tang Jian didn't think so.
Anyway, Sun Quan has become suspicious of him now, and the harvesting of leeks tonight was also intercepted by Sun Quan.
There is no point in staying here any longer.
It is better to go to the battlefield quickly, find out the truth, and make preparations.
It just so happens that Shaxian is downstream of Chibi. When the time comes, I can get whatever I see. I can become a millionaire by selling scrap iron!
So, Tang Jian no longer refused like last time, but chose to accept.
Sun Quan patted Tang Jian on the shoulder, and asked people to lift the gold, and went downstairs contentedly.
Zhang Zhao and others suffered a dumb loss, and felt that there was no point in staying any longer.
So they also said goodbye and left.
This is the second time that Tang Jian has suffered a loss since he traveled through time.
The first time was when he surrendered to Liu Bei in Xicheng and was threatened by Kong Ming.
Now, he is designing to cut leeks in Jianye, but Sun Quan gets the benefit!
Although he did not suffer a big loss, the plan that could have made tens of thousands of taels of gold was also ruined because of Sun Quan!
Sun Shiwan, you dog!
My money!
One day, I will make you spit out the principal and interest!
At this time, Bu Zhi smiled and came to Tang Jian and said:
"Jianming, did you see that? Although you are thoughtful and resourceful, your clever plan will not be defeated once Wu Hou arrives?"
"So power is the most important thing in the world."
Tang Jian nodded and said, "Well, I am ready to challenge power now."
Bu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, good boy, I am optimistic about you!"
Then he moved closer to Tang Jian and said in a low voice, "I think you are extraordinary, and your temperament and wisdom are not inferior to Wu Hou."
"If you don't die this time and can make achievements again, then I, Bu Zhi, will marry my daughter to you!"
Tang Jian smiled and thought: This time, Sun Shiwan intercepted the gold, but I intercepted his wife Bu Lianshi, so it's not a loss.
Just think of it as taking a little interest first.
Tang Jian nodded and said to Bu Zhi, "Mr. Zishan, let's make a deal."
Bu Zhi laughed sinisterly a few times, shook his head and went downstairs.
In the end, everyone left.
"Alas, it's been a long time."
Tang Jian sighed, pulled a stool over and sat down.
Then he bowed to Xu Lingji and smiled, saying:
"I'm sorry that Madam has to follow me."
Xu Lingji smiled faintly, like a spring breeze turning into drizzle.
Tang Jian's heart instantly became soft and comfortable.
Xu Lingji said, "I'm not the one who has to suffer."
"It's just that after this incident, I realized that I have no power in my hands, and it's like drawing water with a bamboo basket if I want to do anything."
"The general is resourceful and a rare genius."
"I hope the general will be more resourceful and powerful so that he can achieve great things."
