Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 960 Jiangdong is Attacking

Bashu is a good place. The Land of Abundance is not called for nothing. In addition to grain and salt, there is also cloth here.

Shu brocade, one of the four famous brocades.

In this era, Shu brocade has appeared, which stands side by side with Jiangdong’s brocade. It is the best among cloths. It is the most commonly used raw material for tailoring clothes by dignitaries and dignitaries, and it is also the largest commodity exported from Bashu.

To control the economy of Bashu, the cloth market must be controlled.

While paying attention to the salt market, Mujing is also laying out the market layout.

Yanhuang has a history of thousands of years. Since the tribal era, the concept of clan has been strong. There are rich salt merchants in Yan, and there are also wealthy families in Shu brocade. Shu brocade in the land of Bashu is basically controlled by a few families.

But compared to the rich salt merchants, these families who control the weaving method of Shu brocade are more low-key. More importantly, no matter who they are in charge of, they try their best to cooperate with the government's taxation, so Mujing has never moved their minds.

But for the cloth market, Mujing definitely wants to take the initiative.

He has been thinking about which way to open the gap, so as not to appear too tough, everyone wants to live in peace, and Mu Jing is not a person who fights and kills at every turn.

What he hopes is that he can control the initiative. It's not that he doesn't like these rich Bubo clans. It's just that as the master in charge of Yizhou, he has to plan ahead for everything.

Once he takes action against the wealthy salt merchants, it will inevitably make some people feel that there is a crisis.

He couldn't give these people any chance of linking up against him.

Of course, the research on the hydraulic manufacturing machine is not only for this reason, but also to make the era start to progress. A process from manpower to hydraulic power represents a big step forward for the era.

According to the history that Mu Jing knows, it seems that the hydraulic machine only appeared from the West in the 78s, and was quickly eliminated by the industrial age.

In the present era, which is only the second century, it can appear in the East.

He is already very happy.

"I will send people from Jingping Trading Company to find a suitable place along the river to build a hydraulic weaving workshop. This weaving workshop is a joint venture between Jingping Trading Company and Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology!" Mu Jing said to Ma Su.

"My lord, our Institute of Science and Technology has sufficient funds at present, and it doesn't need to be distributed to us!" Ma Su said in a low voice.

At present, the Academy of Science and Technology and Jingping Commercial Bank have launched two cooperations.

One opened a watch workshop.

The concept of clocks and watches first appeared on a clock tower in the center of Jiangzhou City. To build this clock tower, the Academy of Science and Technology and Jingping Trading Company spent a lot of effort. Below the clock tower is the clock workshop.

The appearance of this clock tower makes the time algorithm of twelve hours clearly and accurately expressed, which is more accurate and clearer than those hourglasses and water leaks, so it is naturally loved by countless people.

In the current watch workshop, the order has already been received for next year, and there is no time to catch up with the goods. It is not an exaggeration to say that the day is getting rich.

Another cooperation is Baici.

When the Academy of Science and Technology was studying the glass firing method before, a unique ceramic was fired unintentionally. This ceramic is brighter and smoother than the ceramics on the market today, and it has caused shocks in the entire ceramic market as soon as it was launched.

Compared with clocks and watches, which are slow-made products, ceramics fired in ceramic kilns are faster and more popular. Shops such as pottery bowls, pottery cups, vases, etc. are very popular.

The income from the two projects is enough to support the current research funds of the Academy of Science and Technology.

"Long sky, you have to learn to recognize the importance of knowledge and innovation!" Mu Jing patted Ma Su's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

People who do research seem to be relatively simple. Their concept of money is often enough, so Mujing wants to teach Ma Su a lesson. This science and technology institute is Mujing's treasure, and these people must be treated kindly. .

"The research of a project often requires millions of dollars, or more than tens of millions of dollars. The things researched by the Academy of Science and Technology are the benefits you should get!" Mu Jing asked: "Changkong, how many people are there in your Academy of Science and Technology now?"

"There are 320 full-time employees, and there are almost a thousand peripheral workers!" Ma Su said.

"Most of them are not from Jiangzhou!"

"We moved down from Hanzhong, and even in Hanzhong, many of them are not from Hanzhong. The lord recruited us from everywhere!"

"But shouldn't the Academy of Science and Technology solve their living difficulties!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Treating talents well can keep them. The research of the Academy of Science and Technology is based on your knowledge. You should have a share, and the management can be handed over to the outside, so as to ensure the purity of the Academy of Science and Technology, but the benefits you should have must not be less!"

"My lord is right, I am too superficial!"

Ma Su reviewed: "Not to mention Jiangzhou City, even the southern suburbs of Jiangzhou, the Yuzhong Peninsula, a piece of housing developed is very expensive. Our Academy of Science and Technology wants everyone to settle down in Jiangzhou Liye, really can't divide the benefits!"

Yuzhong Peninsula is the first time for Mujing to test the real estate of this era. The first phase of Jingping Commercial House will be completed soon.

"Chang Kong, you are the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology. In addition to learning how to conduct research, you must also learn how to manage the Academy of Science and Technology. People must not be distracted!" Mu Jing said, "We must have the benefits that we should have!"

"This subordinate understands!" Ma Su nodded.

............................................................

In April of the seventh year of Chuping, time was running out, day by day, the situation in the world became more and more fierce, Yuan Shu's proclaiming the emperor was like a negative line that ignited a gunpowder barrel, and Mu Jing was the first to issue a crusade edict The next is the crusade of the imperial court, the crusade of Jingzhou, the crusade of Jiangdong, the crusade of Xuzhou, the crusade of Hebei, the crusade of Youzhou...

In less than a dozen days, Yuan Shu has become the target of all princes in the world.

Runan and Jiujiang were also in chaos.

But this is all just denunciation, sending troops is not an easy task, and no one would have thought that this time to crusade against Yuan Shu, the first to send troops was not the imperial court, not Yizhou, not even Jingzhou, not even Cao Cao, but Yuan Shu. The general under his command is Sun Jian, the general who broke the captives in Jiangdong.

After Jiangdong issued the crusade edict declaring to the world, the speed was extremely fast. In less than five days, he had mobilized a total of [-] elite soldiers, led by the lord Sun Jian himself. They crossed the Yangtze River and invaded Xiaoyaojin with great momentum.

Xiaoyaojin is the gateway to the south of Jiujiang River.

Here in history, Sun Wu and Cao Wei fought countless battles here. The north and the south are the ultimate way, and the south and the north can't get around it.

Yuan Shu also reacted very quickly. When he heard that Sun Jian was crossing the river, he was furious, and immediately dispatched Yuan Yin, a member of his family, with [-] troops, into Xiaoyaojin to block the Jiangdong troops.

In the seventh year of Chuping, Yuan Shu and Jiangdong Sun Jian were the first princes to fight.

The two armies met at Xiaoyaojin and fought a battle of offense and defense. Jiangdong's soldiers and horses marched northward like a broken bamboo, with high morale and fighting spirit. Moreover, although Yuan Shu's soldiers were lacking in momentum and fighting spirit, they were superior in strength.

All of a sudden, the two sides fought inseparably, and the whole Xiaoyaojin was filled with beating drums and shouts of killing.

However, in three days, the two sides fought no less than ten times, leaving no less than two thousand corpses in Xiaoyaojin.

On the fourth day, Jiangdong was unable to attack for a long time, and morale was frustrated, so the troops retreated for the time being.

……

After the Jiangdong warships exited Xiaoyaojin, they parked on the river less than [-] miles away from Xiaoyaojin. They did not go far, and kept looking down at Xiaoyaojin.

In a building and ship class A, Sun Jian was wearing a battle armor, standing in front of him, with a burly body and a majestic imposing manner.

"My lord, the casualty statistics have just come out, and the casualties are 870 Erlang!"

Cheng Pu came up and said with cupped hands.

"Damn!"

Sun Jian's face showed a trace of evil: "Although Yuan Gonglu's soldiers and horses are incompetent, they can kill people if there are too many ants. This Yuan Yin is not an idiot. He comes from a family and is proficient in martial arts. He is very difficult to deal with!"

After complaining, he calmed down his anger, and said lightly: "Send the order, take a rest for a day, and continue to attack Xiaoyaojin the day after tomorrow, be sure to lay down Xiaoyaojin!"

"My lord, in fact, we have already shown our attitude at present. For the time being, we can drag it here!"

Cheng Pu suggested.

"This level is not enough!"

Sun Jian shook his head: "When Yuan Gonglu proclaimed himself emperor, we received the greatest impact. After all, we were once his generals. If we didn't show a desperate attitude, it would be easy for the world's princes to point out him as his accomplice. This Yuan Gonglu If you die, you will die, if you are dragged into the water by him and Jiangdong becomes a public enemy, then the loss outweighs the gain!"

The reason why he was the first to send troops was to draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, and also to show his attitude, resolutely opposing Yuan Shu's attitude of proclaiming himself emperor.

"But if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of our lives!"

"That can't be helped!" Sun Jian smiled bitterly: "Jiangdong is rushing to capture Jiaozhou, the main force has been transferred south, and Shanyue itself needs to be guarded. There are not many troops that can be mobilized. It must not be seen as empty, so no matter what How about this battle, we have to work hard, at least let people see a strong Jiangdong, otherwise if Jingzhou and Xuzhou take advantage of this time and think that Jiangdong can be bullied, they will be in trouble!"
