I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 366 Recruiting the soul of Cao Shuang?
"Then what should we do according to the prince's words?" Sun Quan said.

"Of course we will unite and attack Jingzhou together. As long as Li Jian dies, the world will be worry-free!"

Sun Quan hesitated and asked, "How many troops are you willing to send?"

"We can assemble an army of two hundred thousand and march to Nanyang to Xiangyang!"

"now?"

"No, not now!"

"When was that?"

"Master Wu, have you heard about Li Jian's treatment of the soldiers in Jingzhou?"

"I've heard a little bit about it."

"Where does the money to support Li Jian's actions come from?"

Wang Su said: "I earned it from Da Wei and Jiangdong."

Everyone knew it in their hearts, but it was so ugly to say it, it was like a slap in the face.

"Immediately block all commercial routes leading to Jingzhou." Wang Su said, "When Jingzhou's business is blocked, Li Jian will also lose a large part of his financial resources and will be unable to support the current military expenditure."

"Why should Lord Wu care about the money of Jingzhou? The states in Wei Dynasty will only be richer than Jingzhou! Haven't we already agreed on mutual trade!"

Gu Yong said: "I have something to ask the messenger."

Wang Su gave Sun Quan some face and brought the Wei state in.

"But we also made a lot of money through our business relationship with Jingzhou. This..."

There was deathly silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

Then he asked other ministers: "My lords, do you have any objections?"

Sun Quan immediately said: "Yes, yes! What the prince said makes sense!"

"We let Li Jian make the money, and then he used the money he earned from us to beat us!" Wang Su became excited and raised his voice, "If we don't block the trade route with Jingzhou, wouldn't we be handing over the enemy with our own hands?" The bows and arrows that used to kill our own people!”

After a while, Sun Quan said: "In the opinion of the prince..."

Sun Quan then smiled and said, "It seems to be true."

"The soldiers used to eat too much meat, but now they don't. Li Jian's prestige will inevitably take a hit."

Sun Quan couldn't help but nod, thinking in his mind, if Wang Su is so powerful, why doesn't he have such powerful ministers?
When he looked at the main hall again, he didn't like it.

Wang Su said: "Yuan Tan just said it doesn't matter."

"Absolutely not. I just said it, now is the time to deal with Li Jian together!"

"According to what the prince said, Li Jian can be attacked as long as the trade with Jingzhou is cut off?"

Sun Quan stopped talking, and so did the other Wu ministers.

"The prince asked us to cut off all communications with Jingzhou, so will Wei have any private contacts with Jingzhou?"

"Yes."

Gu Yong changed the topic and said, "I heard that your troops have withdrawn from Guanzhong?"

Wang Su paused and said with a smile: "It is true."

Everyone started discussing heatedly again.

"Kong Ming was already difficult to deal with, and now he has taken Guanzhong."

"Guanzhong for Kongming is already an uninhabited land, just like Jingzhou where Li Jian is now, why should you worry." Wang Su said calmly, "In the past twenty years, Zhuge Kongming has earned a lot of military resources through business, and Li Jian is even more Carry forward this behavior! As long as we resolutely cut off all trade routes this time, what can Zhuge Kongming and Li Jian do even if they are powerful?"

Gu Yong nodded.

Sun Quan laughed and said: "What the prince said makes sense! Both Guanzhong and Jingzhou are already sparsely populated. It will be impossible to recover within a few decades!" Liu Ji said: "There is a way, which is to absorb people from other states! But That's absolutely impossible!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Su said: "There may not be enough food in Guanzhong and Jingzhou. Who would take the risk of interrogation at all levels and drag their family there?"

"Unless Zhuge Kongming and Li Jian give them land and money!" Liu Ji continued, "But if we cut off the trade route, they won't have much money!"

"Hahaha……"

Amid laughter and laughter, Wu and Wei reached an agreement.

Finally, Sun Quan said: "From today on, all trade with Jingzhou will be cut off."

After Wang Su exchanged credentials with Sun Quan in Jianye, he hurriedly left Jianye.

After all, there are a lot of things going on inside Cao Wei.

In the third year of Yanxi's reign, on the third day of September, Chang'an.

"General." Fei Yi hurried over.

"How?" Li Heng asked.

"Those merchants are willing to accept this kind of money order." Fei Yi was trembling with excitement. "I asked personally. The businessmen think this kind of money order is convenient and solves their problem of carrying large amounts of money. But there is one thing they are worried about."

"What are you worried about?"

"For example, several businessmen in Chencang Xincheng are worried that the money orders issued by Chencang Xincheng Money Bank cannot be used in Chang'an."

"These are not problems." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "In the entire Guanzhong, all county money banks now send people from Chang'an, and they are all used. There is Han law as a guarantee. As long as it is a money order issued from the money bank, it will be accepted." It has a legal effect. If the local money bank dares not to take out the money, Chang'an will immediately send people to intervene. Those who should be dismissed will be punished severely! "

"Then we'll have to wait until Jiang Gongyan transfers the people from Yizhou to Qianxing." Fei Yi said.

“How many people do we have available right now?”

"Those who prepare accounts in the army can call a batch of them," Fei Yi said.

Yang Yi said: "Prime Minister, those people are still calculating pensions, I'm afraid..."

"Mr. Wei, try your best to prepare a batch."

"promise."

Zhuge Liang said: "Ji'an, your idea of ​​a money order is also very good. Before paper money is circulated, the money order should be used first. Merchants can try it first. After the paper money is released, the businessmen will definitely be willing to use it immediately."

In the blink of an eye, it was already the tenth day of September. While Sima Yi was increasing his troops to Tongguan and Linjin, he began to sort out the logistics from Luoyang to Tongguan.

At the same time, a serious political crisis also occurred within Cao Wei.

This political crisis was the impact of military affairs on Cao Wei's politics after Li Heng's third Northern Expedition.

This influence also has a prerequisite, which is Sima Yi's Gaopingling Incident.

After Sima Yi seized power, he had no time to deal with the internal conflicts in Cao Wei.

Failure in the war will inevitably quickly catalyze internal political differences.

The most typical thing is that in this battle with Jingzhou, Emperor Cao Fang of Cao Wei was so ignorant.

According to a palace maid, he actually called Cao Shuang's name while sleeping!
After this incident came out, the ministers were shocked and angry.

What is this for?
This is to summon the souls of the reactionary traitors headed by Cao Shuang!

This is simply to destroy the Wei Dynasty that Emperor Wu worked so hard to defeat.

No, no! This emperor is really not good enough!

So, a group of righteous people, without sleeping or eating, ran to the Taifu's house and began to persuade the Taifu to pay attention to this matter.

He dared to call Cao Shuang's name while sleeping today, and he would dare to summon Cao Shuang in the court tomorrow!
Can't Taifu teach His Majesty well?
By the way, in my opinion, the emperor is incompetent, so let’s just replace him!
