Volume 3 Chapter 30 Fighting and Plotting
"What do I call a crutch? Besides, I'm still very good to Sun Shangxiang, aren't I? And when Sun Shangxiang came back before the beginning of spring last year, didn't I ask Sun Shangxiang to bring 3,000 catties of silver to Sun Quan as a Spring Festival gift? In other words, I am polite enough to Sun Quan, as long as he doesn't mess with me, he will still have a little fortune. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Saying that, Lu Ren put the peeled shrimp into Xun Yu and Liu Ye's plates...... By the way, the place where Lu Ren, Xun Yu, and Liu Ye are now is the seafood shop where Lu Ren, Sun Quan, and Lu Su once met. And at this moment, because the topic was on Sun Quan's body, Lu Ren remembered the incident at that time, so he subconsciously looked around at Fuzi, and then roughly talked about the things that happened to Sun Quan and Lu Su at that time.
“…… Therefore, although Sun Quan is young and doesn't seem to pay much attention to anything, in fact, he is a person who wants to save face in his bones, but when he shouldn't want to save face, Sun Quan can definitely put his face down. And such a person is actually very scary. ”
Although he made such a summary, Lu Ren still had a few words to say. is that Sun Quan is really a person who wants to save face, otherwise he would not have killed Song Qian after the Battle of Chibi. It was still after the Battle of Chibi that Sun Quan attacked Hefei, and when Cheng Pu arrived with reinforcements, Zhang Liao issued a letter of war, which provoked Sun Quan to go directly to the battle without Cheng Pu's reinforcements, and Song Qian died in battle. Of course, after the war, Sun Quan still made a profound review.
Xun Yu said: "Sun Quan is not as good as Liu Bei." must have ruled Jiangdong for so many years, Sun Quan has a deep foundation and a strong family foundation. Previously, Yihao, you and Sun Quan temporarily interrupted trade, at best, Sun Quan could not buy high-quality weapons and equipment, cheap grain and grass, and the speed of armament expansion would slow down somewhat. Sun Quan was mainly afraid that he would suffer a loss in weapons and equipment in this battle with Cao Mengde, so he was in a hurry to send Lu Fan to negotiate with you.
"As for the impact on the people after the severance of trade, there will definitely be nothing to see in a short period of time, but I think Sun Quan must have been alert for a long time, but because of the persecution of the war, Sun Quan has to pay attention to the relationship with Yihao. Fighting a war is money, food, and military supplies, Cao Mengde's family background is strong, and he is willing to buy and use the good things here for Yihao, so he can naturally take a big advantage.
"In order not to suffer too much in the battle, Sun Quan can only quickly buy things from you to recover some of his own disadvantages. But Yihao, you have to be careful that Sun Quan plays some other tricks on you, because if this development continues, your various industries in Jiangdong are too hidden dangers for Sun Quan. I believe that Sun Quan understands in his heart that if he continues to develop like this and live for the next ten or eight years, I am afraid that the entire economic lifeline of Jiangdong will fall into the hands of you Yihao. Of course, it would be best if he could get rid of you in one go, but he obviously doesn't have that strength now, so he bows his head to you for the time being. ”
Lu Ren nodded. Liu Bei's side wanted to use the means of "underground work" to control the economy, mainly because there were too many chaotic factors, but Sun Quan's side played the trump card of the Jiangdong Lu clan at the beginning.
In the early days, Lu Ren's own strength was not very good, and even with the Lu family of Wu County, he could only be regarded as a wealthy businessman with a big surname, and basically did not show much influence. The only one who saw some hidden dangers was Lu Su, who was born as a businessman, but Lu Su at that time did not have much influence on Sun Quan, even if he told Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu did not pay attention to it.
In addition, that period was the critical period of the Battle of Chibi, and the attention of the entire Eastern Wu was focused on Lao Cao, and he didn't care about a Lu clan in the territory, but on the contrary, he had to purchase all kinds of materials needed for the war from the Lu clan. As a result, Lu Ren's Wu County Lu clan gained a fairly stable period of development.
However, as soon as the Battle of Chibi came, the threat to Sun Quan's north eased slightly, and Lu Su once again mentioned to Sun Quan the hidden danger of Lu Ren to Sun Quan. Of course, at that time, most of the problems were only from the perspective of military strategy, and if Lu Ren was really driven out of Yizhou at that time, the problem of economic control would be directly solved. However, the later result was that Lu Ren gave him a fierce threat.
Now it is a few years later, and many things are gradually revealed, and then Sun Quan was shocked to find that although the so-called four surnames of Jiangdong are still established, the strongest and most influential among them is the Lu family of Wujun. Why? Because the Lu family has money, food, and talents, and there is a Lu Ren behind him!
Looking at the current Lu family of Wu County, the family business has spread all over Dongwu, almost all the livelihood industries in Dongwu are involved, and the market share is even more terrifying. In Wu County and the surrounding areas, where the Lu family's base camp is located, Lu Ren only interrupted the trade with Jiangdong this time......
Let's take a simple example. Since the import of high-quality and low-cost cloth from Yiquan in Luren into Soochow, the old-style textile industry of self-produced raw materials and self-woven cloth in Wu County and the surrounding areas has basically disappeared. The common people were more willing to focus on the mass production of raw silk, and then exchange cloth and money for cloth and money through trading with the Lu clan of Wu County, and their lives were much richer than the previous self-produced and self-woven takeaways. But now that Lu's has completely stopped the purchase of raw silk raw materials in the past, what will be the consequences for the people? What kind of impact will it have on Sun Quan's economic income?
Perhaps in a short period of time, Sun Quan can also use the treasury reserves to replace the acquisition of the Lu family of Wu County to respond to emergencies and alleviate public grievances, but in the case of losing Lu Ren, a large producer and distributor, it will take at least five years for Sun Quan to completely stand on his own economic system, and it is unknown whether his treasury reserves can support such a long time.
Even if it barely survives, the entire Sun Group will inevitably be greatly damaged, and then it will take a long time to restore Jiangdong's economy. Let's do the math, let's talk less about ten years! Ten years may be nothing in the absence of foreign enemies, but when is it now? Cao Cao and Liu Beike are both staring at this piece of Sun Quan's big fat meat! As for Lu Ren...... Forget it, Lu Ren likes ** lean meat, and things that are too fat and too oily are not good for him.
Moreover, Sun Quan did not dare to move the Lu clan of Wu County without leveling Lu Ren. As one of the four surnames of Wu and Jiangdong, the Lu family of Wujun is so strong, and there is a Lu Ren behind him, if Sun Quan dares to touch the Lu family, he is undoubtedly joking about the safety of Jiang Wu.
Think about it, if you don't settle Lu Ren and occupy Yizhou to obtain the advanced productive forces there, what is the use of Sun Quan even if he kills the entire Lu clan of Wu County? Moreover, the Lu family of Wujun has a good reputation among the people, good popularity, fair trading, opening a school of righteousness, and from time to time also contributes money to build bridges and build roads to help the poor, these are all money that Lu Ren repeatedly told the Lu family of Wujun that he must not save at the beginning, and the Lu family of Wujun has been insisting on these things after Lu Xun and Lu Ji left.
In this way, although the current Wu County Lu family itself has no outstanding officials, but in this way, it can not provoke any lawsuits, and there is no fault on the bright side, Sun Quan, what reason do you use to raze the Lu family? Daring to act forcefully is to arouse public indignation, and the Lu family will not sit idly by if he has such strong strength.
In case he really provokes Lu Ren of Wu County, and then fights back in Sun Quan's nest, Sun Quan will wait for the game to finish. Want to engage in a public opinion offensive? Yes! Is it the strong three-legged cat-like printing ability that you Sun Quan has never paid much attention to, or is it the fast printing technique that Lu Ren is constantly improving here? Handing out flyers? Lu Ren has wanted to do this for a long time.
This is no wonder to others, but only Sun Quan and his ministers were poisoned too deeply by the degenerated Confucianism, and they never realized that if your industrial and commercial foundation is not good, your own economic lifeline will be easily grasped by people with ulterior motives. Sun Quan only now regrets that he didn't follow Lu Su's advice to pay attention to the Lu family, and Lu Su recently advised Sun Quan not to provoke Lu Ren's advice, but Sun Quan couldn't listen to it...... Is it better to have your economic lifeline in the hands of others? But now, hehe!

Outside the window, the autumn breeze was gentle, bringing down a few fallen leaves. Lu Ren stood at the window and looked at the scenery of late autumn in the southern country, sighed lightly and said, "Xun Gong, Ziyang, you all know that I am not very good at fighting, so I have always adopted this method that is more suitable for me to play to my strengths. Slow is a little slower, of course, but it's better than being stable enough, isn't it? ”
Xun Yu smiled and said: "The upper army is the battle, the middle soldier is the battle, and the lower army is the war." Yoshiho, you've always been playing with the strategy of the army, which in itself is a very good thing. Slow down, it's not a big deal. And you play chess so big, if you rush to something for a moment, it is too easy to bring yourself a lot of surprises. ”

Lu Ren nodded, and was about to say something, but someone over there called: "Lu Yizhou, are you here?" It just so happens that I want to talk to Lu Yizhou about something in detail, can I ...... it? ”
Lu Ren was also stunned when he looked at the visitor: "Ziying? Why are you here? (To be continued.) )
