In Pingjin Port, a trace of salty sea breeze blew, cargo ships were docked on the sea, and countless young men who were loading and unloading goods did not feel the cold at all.

The whole port, in full swing, Jiangdong and Youzhou two princes jointly contributed, jointly built a merchant wharf, after publicity, it didn't take long to start a direct fire, countless merchants from all over the world, endlessly.

When the trade routes on the sea are opened, it becomes more and more lively, above the port, there is a large market formed by itself, the market is densely populated, the goods are piled up, and the accents from all over the world are shouting.

"This is a wolf's skin, the skin of a snow wolf."

"Wine, take a look, Northland spirits!"

"Horses, the best horses in Youzhou Daijun!"

This is a merchant from Youzhou, who has not been able to buy a ship, so he shouts here, hoping to get the merchant from Jiangdong to buy back to Jiangdong.

"Cloth, the best silk in Wu County."

"Grain, the best rice of Koto."

Some of the goods in Jiangdong are ashore, and there is no channel to bulk goods, so naturally they can only be sold in this market, fortunately, there are many merchants here, and they do not have to worry about not being able to sell.

For example, if there is chaos today, the princes of various places are fighting, the soldiers are in turmoil, and the grass is rampant, for a merchant caravan, the road on the land is getting narrower and narrower, and there are more and more people who fall into the grass, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Therefore, in the north, whether it is a merchant in Jizhou or a merchant in Youzhou, if they want to go south, they are already very lucky to be able to go through Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and other places, and few can reach Jiangdong.

The sea route is a brand new trade route, since the merchants of Jiangdong can go ashore and bring the goods of Jiangdong to the north, then the merchants of the north are willing to believe that this is a feasible road.

As soon as the road passed, it naturally allowed countless businessmen to start their actions.

As soon as this port was established, it immediately attracted countless merchants, and some shrewd merchants soon realized the business opportunities on the port, and the construction of this market did not require Gongsun Zhan to contribute any financial resources, and the merchants had already contributed money and efforts to establish it, and then, the county government of Quanzhou also established a stronghold here, and the assassination office.

Assassination, a kind of county soldier who specializes in managing the market, is similar to modern chengguan, and some assassins can maintain order very well.

"Hahaha, it can develop in such a short time, it's so lively!"

On the side of the market, in a tea house, Sun Quan's body sat down, looking at this port and a trading market formed because of the port, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

With such a platform, for the merchants of the north and south, it is equivalent to one more trade route, as long as the merchants are passed, the goods of the two places will circulate, not only to stimulate the two major economies, relatively speaking, if he takes the north in Jiangdong, the role played here may be stronger than the army of 100,000.

"Childe, what a means!"

Li Nie sat in the tea house with Sun Quan, looking at this prosperous scene, and suddenly had a trace of admiration in his heart: "Childe, you are using merchants to open the road to the north, as long as the merchants of Jiangdong can gain a foothold, then the merchants of the north can also feel the profits brought by Jiangdong."

Therefore, if he has enough strength to take Youzhou in the future, this group of merchants will not only not resist, but will also be able to help relatively speaking. ”

"Lao Li, you also read the sage book, what do you think businessmen should think?" When Sun Quan heard this, his heart suddenly moved, he squinted, stared at Li Nie, and asked.

"Merchant?"

Li Nie's brows furrowed slightly, and after a long moment of silence, he said: "The sage has the way, the impression of Shinong industry and commerce, and businessmen in the eyes of the world, some of them are unearned, mercenary, and deviate from the way of the sages, and are not valued, but in my eyes, businessmen may not be no good at it, in the past, I used to preside over government affairs in Chang'an, and I clearly understood a big truth, Shinong industry and commerce, all of which are indispensable, and there are merchants in the world who have only the goods in circulation." ”

"Well, businessmen are actually a profession, they don't get it for nothing, the risk they pay every time they do business is huge, with businessmen, the economy can prosper, so the status of businessmen can't be too low." Li Nie is not a man who eats old things, and since this is the case, he can better handle the affairs of merchants.

This matter of the businessman has been pressed in Sun Quan's heart for a long time.

"What does Childe mean?" Li Nie's pupils suddenly contracted slightly, Sun Quan's words probably did not mean to promote individual businessmen, but to subvert the system established by Confucianism.

This is a hornet's nest, if you don't grasp it well, it will completely offend the people who read all over the world, and a big force like Jiangdong may not be able to withstand it at that time.

"If I want to improve my position as a businessman, where do you think I should start?" Sun Quan's eyes were gloomy, with a touch of firm coldness, and he asked.

"Childe, think twice!" Li Ne persuaded.

"I've been thinking about it for several years, and I haven't dared to move all these years, just because Jiangdong's foundation is unstable, and now Jiangdong has a certain foundation, and some things should be moved, and I want to improve the status of a businessman."

Sun Quan really didn't dare to provoke scholars before, but the fame of Jiangdong Academy gave him a certain amount of confrontation against Shilin in the world, so naturally, he was going to start doing it.

He can't change the feudal system, but a bowl of water must be leveled, and the eyes of the reader are above the top, which is no way, but a businessman can't be trampled under his feet for the rest of his life.

The development of businessmen is related to the development of the economy, if the status of businessmen does not rise, they will always be afraid to do things, it is difficult to achieve great things, and it is difficult to achieve their changes.

"Childe, any reform is to promote countless interests, Shang Ying's reform, what will happen to him, do you know?" Li Nie's heart still didn't quite agree.

"I just know that Shang Ying's reform allowed the Qin State to lay the foundation for dominating the world." Sun Quan smiled, and there was not the slightest loosening in his words.

"It seems that Childe is iron-hearted." Li Ne finally understood that Sun Quan had probably made up his mind in his heart, so he only asked him about the method, not whether it was feasible or not.

"That's right."

Sun Quan nodded, with a touch of indifferent firmness in his resolute face, and said: "Lao Li, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, it will be easy, in today's world, it is too chaotic, either you beat me, or I beat you, there are a few people who can think about developing the economy, and only if you have money can you have soldiers." ”

"Childe's thoughts are a little too jumpy, and some can't keep up."

Li Ne took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and then said: "Since Gongzi has made up his mind, then give Gongzi a Jianyì, and a businessman will be quickly trampled to death, but a hundred merchants may not be able to resist the family, and the wealth of a thousand businessmen may add up to declare war with the scholars, and the most important thing is to work together." ”

"Together?"

Sun Quan throbbed slightly, and said, "I understand, it seems that I have to find some means." ”

He had always had a thought in his mind that he had not had the opportunity before, and it was not too late now.

Chamber of Commerce, in this era this kind of system did not appear, but it may not be impossible to form, if a Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is established in the name of the official, businessmen may have a certain amount of reliance.

And the leader of the Chamber of Commerce already has, Mi Zhu.

"Forget it, let's go back to Jiangdong about this matter."

Sun Quan thought a lot, and finally shook his head, his eyes began to linger on the lively market, looking at the prosperity of this port, with this port and market, Jiangdong can have a place in Youzhou.

The more prosperous this port is, the better it will be for Jiangdong, and it would be better if it could attract merchants from Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou.

"Childe, the boat will arrive soon, and we will return to Jiangdong directly, so what about Gongsun Zhan? Now that Luhe is heavily armed, Gongsun Chan has no intention of cooperating, how can it be good? Li Nie asked suddenly.

"Let's talk!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth grinned, and he didn't know how to do it, and said: "But it's not for me to talk about it, the envoy of the Pingzhou Thorn History has gone to Jicheng, and now Liaodong is the Pingzhou Thorn Shi Sun Jing is in charge, what I can do is to give my uncle an opinion, and then give them a needle, my uncle should be hopeful to send troops, but it is a little mysterious what Gongsun Chan can pay." ”

"Isn't that too cheap for him?"

Li Ne frowned.

"Cheap him? No, my uncle is not a master who can suffer, he will send troops, but he will definitely wait until Gongsun Chan bows his head and pays the price. ”

Sun Quan's eyes looked at the market and said with a sneer.

……

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's wedding date is getting closer and closer, Sun Quan must also return, today is the day when Sun Quan is sure to return to Jiangdong, now the warship has not yet docked, under the protection of more than a dozen plainclothes tigers, the two continue to chat in the market, not only about Sun Quan's policies, but also about Li Nie's position after returning to Jiangdong.

"The Governor of Jinyiwei? I? Li Ne doesn't know much about Jiangdong, but it's impossible not to know Jinyiwei, but he is still a little surprised that Sun Quan attaches great importance to him.

The Metropolitan Governor of Jinyiwei, who controls the entire Jiangdong news network, is really in place in one step, and he is in a high position.

"Childe, this is a little too fast, isn't it?" Li Ne whispered.

"What? Can't do it? ”

Sun Quan's eyes moved, and he said lightly.

"It's not, I'm just afraid, the time for a certain family to take refuge in Jiangdong is too short, the lord can't be trusted, Jinyiwei is the lord's pro-army, what kind of rights does he have, I know that if I control Jinyiwei, I'm afraid the lord's heart will be difficult to sleep." Li Nie said with a wry smile.

"This?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was indeed a little reckless.

By the way, although Li Nie has the ability, his previous identity cannot be exposed, and the time he has taken refuge in Jiangdong is too short to get Sun Jian's trust, if he jumps directly to the position of the governor of Jinyiwei, I am afraid that Sun Jian is really unbearable.

"In this way, you first become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and I still hold the position of the Metropolitan Governor, but the girder of the Jinyi Guard, you have to jump up." Sun Quan groaned and said.

"The girder of the Jinyi Guard? Does Childe believe so-and-so like that? ”

Li Nie squinted his eyes and asked, "As far as I know, Jinyiwei is not an ordinary department, and the most important thing for a Jinyiwei is not ability, but loyalty. ”

"Lao Li, this is the second time you have asked this question, and I don't want a third time."

In the tea house, Sun Quan listened to Li Ne's words, stood up directly, did not answer directly, but looked at the seaside, and said lightly: "The ship is coming, let's go!" ”

"Hahaha, I want to think of a certain Li Ru's life, with big ups and downs, I should be lonely, but I didn't expect to find out that life has just begun, and it is really a godsend!"

Li Nie's gaze stared at Sun Quan's back, revealing a decisive smile.

At this time, a warship on the sea was constantly approaching, Sun Quan and his party began to walk towards the port, suddenly, his eyes were in a glimpse, looking at a figure near the sea, and a bright light crossed in his eyes.

"This woman has such a smart temperament!"

Sun Quan's gaze passed through countless people, fixed on a shadow among thousands of people, this is just a back, standing quietly on the shore of the port, purple lined with white, comfortable and quiet, as if exuding an otherworldly temperament.

With just a back, he couldn't help but be moved.

At this time, the girl standing next to the coast seemed to feel a burning gaze behind her, and involuntarily turned her head, with a flawless appearance, long flowing hair, and a trace of cleanness in her beautiful eyes that seemed not to belong to this world.

Looking at each other for a moment, as if looking back for a thousand years, time was frozen in such a moment, Sun Quan's heart was moved, and the door of his heart was pried open by this girl's dusty temperament.

Those eyes, he had never seen before.
