Wu Jun, Qiao Mansion.

Two days later, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Ji Shu visited Duke Qiao again.

It's just that the atmosphere when the four of them sat together was obviously different this time.

"Oh? You said you don't want me to help you?" Qiao Gong looked at Sun Ce and laughed a little.

Ji Shu felt helpless, Zhou Yu looked nervous, and Sun Ce looked slightly red.

"Yes, Mr. Qiao, this is what I promised Xin'er. I don't want her to think that I want to marry her for other purposes."

Mr. Qiao poured himself a cup of tea and drank it carefully.

He originally thought that Sun Ce just liked Qiao Xin, and it would be a good thing if Xin'er was really interested in Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce was a prince. Then Wei'er's husband would be recruited into the Qiao family, and Wei'er would be married into Qiao's family.

The children inherit the family business.

I didn’t expect that!

I really don’t know what the hell business I’m doing this time?

Both daughters got involved.

"My two daughters have fallen in love with you two boys, and you want me not to help you?"

"If I don't help you, who should I help?"

"Go and invite the eldest lady over."

Mr. Qiao sighed slightly and gave instructions to the housekeeper behind him. The housekeeper said "yes" and hurriedly went out.

After hearing Duke Qiao's words, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce suddenly froze and were speechless in embarrassment. Ji Shu looked at the helpless two people, feeling both amused and secretly happy.

"father"

Not long after, the housekeeper brought Qiao Xin over. Qiao Xin walked directly to sit down next to Mr. Qiao without even looking at Sun Ce.

"Yeah!" Duke Qiao didn't know if he was deliberately trying to embarrass Sun Ce, but he winked at him, asking Sun Ce to tell Qiao Xin himself.

Getting support from the Qiao family is the purpose of this trip.

Cold sweat broke out on Sun Ce's back, as if he just remembered it now.

If we can really get the support of the Qiao family and get Qiao Xin's consent, then it will be the best of both worlds!

He said tremblingly: "Xin'er, my father-in-law's intention..."

"Um?"

Seeing Qiao Xin glare at him, Sun Ce hurriedly changed his words and said: "Qiao, Mr. Qiao!"

"What Mr. Qiao means is that it involves the livelihood of the people in Jiangdong and there is no need to delay! Now that the negotiation has been completed, he wants to fully support the government order."

Qiao Xin rolled her eyes at Sun Ce. She still doesn't know about her father?

Looking at her father again, she lowered her eyebrows and said: "If father had listened to me earlier, and not followed the Shen family to get involved, the chaos would not have spread to the entire Jiangdong. Now that my father is determined to clean up the situation, what will happen to my daughter's family?"

Would you disagree?"

Qiao Xuan raised his eyebrows and was choked by his daughter.

Forced by the situation, all the aristocratic families were filled with righteous indignation. Some wanted to maintain the dignity of the aristocratic family, some wanted to teach Sun Ce a lesson, and some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Even if he didn't care about the small profits, could he not agree?

He didn't want to stand on the opposite side of all the aristocratic families for an irrelevant Sun Ce.

But now the situation is different. Sun Ce has already neutralized the tricks of the aristocratic families. It can be said that many people have begun to retreat now. He was just the first one.

Besides, isn't Sun Ce the husband you chose now? Qiao Xuan also gave his daughter a roll of his eyes.

But seeing the interaction between his daughter and Sun Ce, Qiao Xuan felt relieved.

He did not believe that Mrs. Wu would let Sun Ce marry only one person, but he believed that Sun Ce would definitely treat Da Qiao well in the future.

If Sun Ce can really conquer the world one day, Xin'er may even become the queen.

He touched his beard, maybe this damn business is still a loss?!

······

"Planning to establish a guild?"

After returning to Jianye, Sun Ce immediately held a meeting.

The support of the Qiao family will definitely open up the situation in Jiangdong. In the competition with the Shen family and the Chen family, Sun Ce is already guaranteed to win. Many plans can start to be put on the agenda.

In Sun Ce's study, everyone was sitting together, not to mention the three brothers, there were also Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su.

It can be said that these six people are the real decision-making center of Jiang Dongjun.

The person who asked the question just now was Zhang Zhao, and he had an inexplicable frown on his face: "What is a guild?"

Ji Shu said happily: "This is a good thing! The so-called guild is led by our official government and calls on small businessmen to unite and form a business group."

"Whatever we need, let the merchants purchase it."

"Businessmen have to pay for the purchase themselves."

"When they go out to purchase goods, we will arrange our personnel to act as bodyguards to escort them all the way to ensure the safety of their lives and property."

"After the goods are purchased, we are responsible for selling them, and the money they get is theirs, and we just take a commission from it."

After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but fall silent and think carefully about the power of it.

Zhang Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! In this case, the burden of funds will be transferred from us to those merchants. And if we control these merchants, the price will be reduced to the extreme due to the influence of the aristocratic family.

"

Sun Ce was still a little worried and asked hesitantly: "Zi Yuan, you also mentioned this to Mr. Qiao. But are those businessmen really willing to join in?"

Zhang Hong gave Ji Shu a rare look of approval and answered Sun Ce's question.

"Businessmen are looking for profits! They are meant to do business. As long as they can make money, isn't it the same thing?"

"What's more, if the officials come forward to protect them, they don't have to worry about thieves."

"Help them sell goods, unify prices, no longer have to worry about low-price competition from peers, and ensure profits."

"It can be said that we have a win-win situation."

Lu Su added: "Small businessmen can't spend much money to hire escorts. In troubled times, many people who go into business have no way out and risk their lives. Just this is enough to make them excited."

Zhou Yu inadvertently poked his chin back and forth with his finger: "The so-called bodyguards only need to order some soldiers to take off their military uniforms. They can also use the mountain bandits and water thieves who don't open their eyes along the way to train their troops. They will be recruited again during the war, hehe!"

"Some veterans also have more places to go."

Zhang Zhao patted Ji Shu on the shoulder and teased: "Zi Yuan, I didn't expect you to be a profiteer!"

"Haha, commerce is one word, and cooperation will benefit both parties!"

Ji Shu also wanted to start an industrial revolution, but unfortunately he really didn't know how to make a steam engine.

However, this does not prevent him from applying advanced concepts first. First, he must bring in the concept of socialized division of labor and create some capitalists to compete with the big landowners.

Ji Shu took out an object from under the table and put it on the table: "I also want everyone to see this."

Everyone's attention couldn't help but be attracted.

What I saw on the table was that the upper part was a rectangular box, I don't know what it was used for, and the lower part was a crossbow. It only had an extra handle that could be shaken, but lacked a trigger to shoot the crossbow arrows.

"What is this?" Zhou Yu asked everyone's thoughts.

Ji Shu said with a strange expression: "This is the repeating crossbow that Yueying just made. I call it the Luoyue Crossbow."

"Liannu?"

"Well," Ji Shu nodded and explained, "As the name suggests, it is a crossbow that can shoot continuously. Now it can shoot up to 10 arrows in a row. I suggest Yueying improve the magazine to facilitate faster loading. Oh, the magazine is on the crossbow.

This part is used to hold crossbow arrows."

Lu Su and others couldn't help but marveled.

Zhou Yu's Adam's apple moved and he said in a deep voice: "How long will it take to shoot 10 arrows?"

"The fastest four breaths"

Everyone took a breath and looked shocked. Zhou Yu sat upright and said: "We must not let the news leak out."
