"But master, these can basically be counted as our next development goals, but for Sun Quan and Cao Cao, don't you worry about anything? Especially Sun Quan, what if he does it to us again? ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "The five-year period analyzed by Liu Ye is not unreasonable, which is one of the main reasons why I said that this battle with him must be fought." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLet's put it this way, this battle is actually our battle of Liwei, if we don't fight this war, and don't fear and subdue the people who have done it to us, then everyone will treat us Yizhou as a piece of fat in the future, and on the other hand, we will lose the corresponding diplomatic status. It is not a lie that a weak country has no diplomacy.

"But we have won this battle, and it is so that even a figure like Zhou Yu has to come forward to negotiate peace with us in person, from a certain point of view, it is that Sun Quan has a fear of us. Therefore, as long as we maintain benign development and no longer show any obvious flaws, Sun Quan will not dare to do anything to us. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren shook his fingers and smiled slightly: "And these things are not only in terms of war. From the perspective of internal affairs, Sun Quan's actions either directly or indirectly angered those native scholars in Jiangdong...... Well, let's put it this way, if the person who won this battle was Sun Quan, and then Sun Quan occupied our Yizhou at the same time, and distributed the benefits that could be obtained from Yizhou to these Jiangdong clans in a timely manner, then there might be nothing.

"But Sun Quan loses, and those Jiangdong scholars have to think about how they can continue to make huge profits from me if they can't settle me. Once you provoke me, but you can't completely settle me, then the loss of the Jiangdong clan is immeasurable. With such a prerequisite, knowing that he can't completely settle me, if Sun Quan wants to do anything to us, the first one of the Jiangdong Shi clan will not agree. These money bags don't support Sun Quan, and Sun Quan is still fighting a fart battle! Without these money bags, where would Sun Quan get the money, food, soldiers, and horses! ”

At this point, Lu Ren remembered something again, and added: "After all, we are different from Lao Cao. Lao Cao's southward march to Jiangdong is a conqueror and invader to the Jiangdong Shi clan, and we maintain the style of collaborators and trading partners, so we have no threat to the Jiangdong Shi clan. Another one, after all, I still have the identity of a son of the Lu family in the fourth surname of Wu, in a sense, for the Jiangdong Shi clan, it belongs to my own family. If Sun Quan really took action to eradicate me, it would inevitably make the Jiangdong Shi clan have a sense of crisis. And Sun Quan at the current point, he doesn't have the strength to knead the Jiangdong clan at will. Maybe ten or twenty years later, Sun Quan will have this strength.

"In a word, in the next few years, we don't have to worry about Sun Quan. Of course, it's not like I'm not really prepared at all, wasn't Lu Xun left by me? If something really happens, Lu Xun can come out to help me, and Xu Shu will stay in Quanzhou as well? Oh yes, Shirley, you brought it up, and it reminded me that we should have an exam to pick out some of the next generation. ”

Shirley nodded. What Lu Ren said, Shirley didn't fully understand at the moment, but Shirley believed that Lu Ren dared to send out the two generals, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, at this time, he must have the corresponding confidence. In addition, to be honest, Shirley actually wants to send people out for a spin in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, because the saltpeter and sulfur resources needed to produce gunpowder are somewhat tight, and some islands in Southeast Asia happen to be rich in these things. Relying on the current number of normal transactions, it is really a bit impossible to keep up.

Shirley then asked Cao Cao about it, and Lu Ren said that Cao Cao had made it clear that he wanted to expand trade ties with Yizhou. Cao Cao was a shrewd man, and he had the greatest trade relationship with Lu Ren, and he also benefited the most. Moreover, in addition to the general livelihood and trade, Cao Cao very much hoped to purchase a large number of sophisticated and relatively advanced weapons and equipment from Yizhou. Especially the artillery that terrified Sun Quan, would Cao Cao want it? Of course, Lu Ren was not so easy to sell to Lao Cao. After all, before your own strength reaches a certain standard, if this thing is sold, it will be a big problem.

There is also a pearl cliff here. The iron-rich ore in Zhuya has always been a major event in Lu Ren's heart, and long before Lu Ren officially returned to Yizhou, Shirley had sent people to Zhuya many times to explore the area. Later, it wasn't until two years ago that Lu Ren sent Lu Cheng and Lu Xin, the most trusted people, to Zhuya for development work, and at the same time, Zhen's share was specially counted. Zhen is the leader of Yizhou's metallurgical industry, and now that he has such benefits, will the children of the clan sent to Zhuya be poor?

In this way, although the development time of the battle of Quanzhou in the fourteenth year of Zhuya to Jian'an was not long, it was able to send a large amount of high-quality iron ore produced by Zhuya back to Yizhou, and then the semi-industrial production system of Yizhou was very advanced at that time into high-quality iron products. During the Battle of Quanzhou, the Pearl Cliff was in a state of semi-shutdown due to the mobilization of a certain amount of manpower, but the resumption of production was also a matter of Lu Ren's words. By the time Lu Ren reconciled with Sun Quan, Lu Ren calculated that the mineral output of Zhuya had already far exceeded the self-demand of all parts of Yiquan, and it was fully capable of large-scale exports.

And what did good iron mean at the time? To put it mildly, there are still many bronze weapons on the weapons of the three soldiers of Cao, Liu and Sun......

Therefore, after Cao Cao withdrew from Hefei, at the request of Lu Ren, in addition to the original northern trade route, he also began to build Jimo in Qingzhou and Yantai in Shandong, two commercial ports to Yizhou. And Lu Ren himself still felt that it was not enough, so he sent another man to Youbeiping, that is, Tianjin in later generations, to build a trading port by himself, where Tian Chou was on top. Don't underestimate the port of Tianjin, how later generations will not mention it for the time being, just say that at that time, Tianjin was the junction of the Central Plains and the Hu people, and the livestock products, beans, and all kinds of cold plant products that were abundant in the Hu region were also very needed in the Yiquan area.

Cao Cao, who is the most powerful, is still like this, how dare Liu Bei and Sun Quan lag behind?

For example, Liu Bei, after the reconciliation of Yiwu and Wu, Liu Bei only owned Jingzhou, and urgently needed a lot of money and food to expand armaments. If the old-style small-scale peasant economy was followed, the speed of money and grain collection would be very slow, so Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang attached great importance to trade with Yizhou.

Another example is Sun Quan, in addition to wanting to earn a lot of money and food, Sun Quan has an extra layer of consideration for maintaining friendly relations with Lu Ren than Liu Bei. The last time Cao Cao's troops went to Hefei, Sun Quan suffered a big loss; Now if you want to seize Jingzhou, if you ignore the friendly relationship with Lu Ren, then when Sun Quan wants to fight Liu Bei, Lu Ren will stab him from behind......

It was almost the same when these three parties mentioned here, and to Lu Ren's surprise, the Jiaozhou Shijia, who had not been moving, suddenly made some movements, and they were already strengthening the troops in the Hepu and Cangwu areas. Whether it is a precaution or a desire to raise troops, this is not clear for a while. However, there was one rule, the Shijia strictly forbade the people in the Jiaozhou area to trade with the Yiquan area, and the relocation of the people began to become extremely strict...... Before, Lu Xun didn't get a lot of people from the border of Jiaozhou.

It is still unclear whether it is war or peace. As a precaution, Lu Ren adopted Liu Ye's suggestion and let Xu Shu return to Zhuya to defend the town, Lu Ji continued to develop Macao, and Lu Xun still led Quanzhou. Once there is a change, these three places echo each other. Anyway, I haven't heard of any people in the Shi family who can fight, and if you really get into trouble, Xu Shu alone can make the Shi family look good.

Now let's take a look at Yizhou itself. From the second year of Jian'an when the village port was built in Tamsui to the fifteenth year of Jian'an after the reconciliation of Yiwu, it has been 13 years. In the past 13 years, the second generation of young people trained in Yizhou has basically completed the replacement of the previous generation of pioneers by the time they are 15 years old in Jian'an. Compared with the almost universal illiteracy of the previous generation of displaced people, the quality of the population of this generation is simply a qualitative improvement, and Yizhou has therefore entered a real period of rapid development. The last time Cao Cao's troops went to Hefei, Sun Quan suffered a big loss; Now if you want to seize Jingzhou, if you ignore the friendly relationship with Lu Ren, then when Sun Quan wants to fight Liu Bei, Lu Ren will stab him from behind......

Compared with the almost general illiteracy of the previous generation of displaced people, the quality of the population of this generation is fundamentally a qualitative improvement, and Yizhou has therefore entered a real period of rapid development.
