My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 338 336. Teaching Apprentices (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
The reason why Sun Quan was so angry was that he had no money in his hands.

When Sun Ce was there, his family was relatively well-off.

Because the dissatisfied forces were directly suppressed by force, after the suppression, all the money and grain of the opponent would go into their own pockets to raise soldiers, plus the taxes of the counties and counties, there was enough to raise soldiers, more than enough.

But since last year... the family's money has suddenly bottomed out. Although they borrowed part of it from Cao Cao, they are just trying to support it. After all, this year's tax has not come up yet.

But what about the major families in Jiangdong?
The brown sugar business is booming, and there is only one brown sugar shop in a county, which can be described as a unique business.

Unexpectedly, once this thing is available, every wealthy family in the county falls in love with it, and some even cannot live without it every day.

He knew that there was a lot of surplus food among the rich households, but these wealthy households lived more comfortably than the pastor of his state, so he became jealous.

"General." Lu Xun walked in, and sighed inwardly when he saw Sun Quan with an unsightly complexion.

After he came back from Xuchang, he made great contributions and became Sun Quan's confidant.

Of course, the situation of the Lu family has improved a lot.

Even if Lu Ji had satirized Sun Ce in the past, there is no need to worry too much.

"Bo Yan is here." Seeing Lu Xun arriving, Sun Quan waved his hand, "Sit down."

Lu Xun sat down at the lower seat, "The general is looking for advice, what's the matter?"

Sun Quan sighed, looked at Lu Xun, and said, "Zijing hasn't returned yet, so I'm worried about it."

Lu Xun frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head, "The general should have his own consideration."

"I believe in Zijing, but I am worried." Sun Quan sighed, "Now that Jingzhou is in full swing, with Jiaozhou as a backup, its strength has far surpassed that of Jiangdong."

He just took over Sun Ce's position last year, and most of the available people in his hands are left by Sun Ce.

Only Lu Xun was appointed by him. Of course, he would discuss with Lu Xun about many things.

"Is the general worried about Jiangdong's future?"

"En." Sun Quan nodded, how could he not be worried?
Of course he knows Lu Su's talent, if... if something happens, his Jiangdong's strength will be reduced by one point.

In today's world, the situation is changing, and it is time to accumulate strength.

Lu Xun also sighed. To be honest, if possible, he also wanted to join Jingzhou directly.

But the gentry in Jingzhou hugged him like a piece of iron. Even if he went, he would be treated by Liu Biao as a bastard who swindled and swindled. In addition, on the Jiangdong side, Sun Quan's new official took office, and there was a shortage of people in his hands. Jiangdong has a foothold, and he can't accept softness.

But he, Lu Xun, saw that Sun Quan seemed to be a master, and he had no other thoughts in his mind.

Here, good past the ups and downs elsewhere.

In his heart, he secretly made up his mind, straightened up, cupped his hands to Sun Quan, and said seriously, "As Yi said before, Jiangdong is weak at this time, so we should go to sleep, and make friends with Xuchang, and we should also repair Jingzhou."

Sun Quan sighed and nodded, if not...Jiangdong would be overthrown in an instant.

"For internal affairs, we should revise the government and develop the people's livelihood. Even if the winter wheat and summer rice business fails, rewards can be offered to various places. If there is a method to increase crop production, or a farm tool like Quyuanli in Jingzhou, you can offer it, and promise a lot of money."

Sun Quan nodded. He also understands these principles, and now he can only hope that the method Lu Xun proposed will work, and that Lu Su can complete the task and come back as soon as possible.

"Over there in Jiaozhou..." Lu Xun continued, "Gan Ning is a newcomer, and it is difficult to stand firm. The general can send an envoy to send a congratulatory gift to the new state shepherd."

Sun Quan frowned, but still nodded.

After all, this is officialdom, and it is impossible to completely ignore it.

"The most important thing is to go to the prefect of Jiaozhi." Lu Xun continued, "When the former Jiaozhou shepherd Zhang Jin was there, he was dismissed by the scholars. Now the state shepherd has gone, the result will not be too different. The general can express that he is willing to represent him as the pastor of Jiaozhou."

Sun Quan thought for a while, and then agreed.

There are powerful enemies to the north and west of Jiangdong, the boundless sea to the east, and... the remote Jiaozhou to the south.

Although it is remote, it is a good thing if we can really make friends.

"If there is a chance, it would be great to find the recipe of brown sugar..." Sun Quan added.

He was too jealous of making money.

Lu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then agreed again.

……

Wancheng, in a guest house.

Huang Yueying led a group of people to rest for a while.

With so many people, food and grass are all problems, so they must find a city to supply.

It's just that her apprentices are really in good spirits, so they don't chatter along the way, and at night they go down the river by the road to catch fish and shrimp, completely returning to the natural state, for short, wild up.

Fortunately, Huang Cong is getting older and more stable.

"Come here." Huang Yueying called all the apprentices over.

"teacher."

"gentlemen."

Seeing Huang Yueying calling them, the children didn't dare to have any objections. Although the husband in front of them was a woman, she was also their teacher who had done the apprenticeship ceremony seriously.

"How do you feel about this journey?" Huang Yueying asked a question.

"It's fun! You don't need to study!" Zhang Bao, the youngest with the brightest eyes, said impatiently.

Huang Yueying: ...Very well, this is very bratty.

So he looked at the others.

"Hey, the common people are working hard, and the wheat in the field is growing well, which shows that the government manages it well." The older Guan Xing said after thinking about it.

"Well, is there any more?" Huang Yueying looked at the other two encouragingly, they were both young and looked ignorant.

"There are many merchants on the road, which shows that the business is flourishing." Mi Wu held back for a long time before saying.

Huang Yueying then smiled and touched Mi Wu's head, "Yes."

"Have you ever thought about it, if one day, Jingzhou is also in chaos, these fields, people, merchants... will there still be a place to stand?"

Now, even the youngest Zhang Bao shook his head.

Although these few of them are the second sons in the family, they seem to have a good family at this time, and they are escorted by attendants when they travel, but there are a few older ones who came here in the wind and rain a few years ago.

Seeing this, Huang Yueying sighed inwardly, in troubled times, even children know the danger of war.

"Jingzhou, in the future, we want to calm down the world and help the Han family." Huang Yueying said directly, "As children of officials, you have to contribute to this, understand?"

"Ok!"

"So, how do you plan to contribute?"

"Just like my father, go to battle and kill the enemy!"

"Yes! Go to battle and kill the enemy!"

"I, I still want to inherit the family business." Mi Wu said, "It will be very happy to deal with money."

Huang Yueying laughed, these children, except for Mi Wu, the rest just want to do what their parents do, of course, this is also normal.

"What my teacher wants to teach you today is that no matter what you do in the future, you must treat the people well."

Seeing that the expressions of several people were still confused, Huang Yueying explained again, "Is the sun shining brightly today?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel hot?"

"hot."

It was April at this time, and according to the Gregorian calendar of later generations, it was already May or early June.

Coupled with the unstable weather, today's sun is shining brightly, and the temperature is still particularly high.

"Don't the people in the field feel the heat?" Huang Yueying then asked.

"It should be hot too."

"Then why don't they take a break?" Huang Yueying asked again.

"Because you want to farm?"

"Why farm?"

"If you don't farm, you won't have food."

"Since the government wants to manage the people, wouldn't it be better to distribute food directly to the people?"

"The government's food...is also a tax collected from the people."

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go and ask why they are still working in the fields when it is so hot."

Several children opened their mouths, a little surprised, but went anyway.

Before they came out, the family had been exhorted ten thousand times, and they must listen to what the master said.

　For today, good night.

　　See you tomorrow.
