Yu's Trading Company was able to quickly establish a foothold in Jianye. In addition to Sun Quan's silent support behind the scenes, the novel goods in the firm were also Hu Ke's magic weapon for success.

Due to the special relationship between Yu's Trading Company and Guangzhou, a large number of things used for life, enjoyment, and luxury entered Jianye. Special items made by Guangzhou craftsmen's workshops, Jiaozhi's pearls, agate, ivory, jade and other processed products were purchased by Hu Ke Merchant Ship

main goods.

Yu's Trading Company originally had a few luxury goods left, but Hu Ke didn't want to cut off the connection with Guangzhou, so he took the opportunity to give Sun Quan some advice. If navigation and trade with Jingzhou could be restored, Hu Ke would be able to compete with Lantian again.

, questions such as how to deal with the Sima brothers can also be answered from above.

After hearing this, Sun Quan frowned slightly and nodded lightly and said: "Cao Pi took advantage of the military power to use dirty tricks on Jiangdong. I really can't deal with it passively. It is time to restore relations with Liu Bei. If Wei continues to invade in the future, we may still

There will be many foreign aids..."

"Well done, my lord." Hu Ke complimented with clasped fists.

"I will let Lu Boyan handle it. The bodies of General Han, Wen Gui and others must be returned to Jiangdong for burial as soon as possible. The lack of news about Jingzhou and Jiaozhou is really making me sleepless. Please wait patiently for a while."

Sooner or later, I believe navigation will be restored." Sun Quan comforted him.

Hu Ke smiled and nodded, "My lord, you are confident. The generals have nothing to worry about. The craftsmen who were trapped in Guangzhou last year may be in trouble. I will take this opportunity to train a group of them and wait until the navigation is opened before sending them out."

"Very good...very good..." Sun Quan nodded happily, then turned and walked out the door, thinking that Yu Xiu was still more reliable than the others, and the others were not as far ahead as he thought.

Sun Quan returned to the car. Zhang Wen saw the exquisite wooden box and asked with a smile: "It seems that the lord has chosen what he likes."

"Ze Cheng is considerate and cautious. If Hui Shu's family is too busy, you can ask him to help share the burden. Is it because he is older than you, so you can't speak?" Sun Quan sat down and replaced him.

Hu Ke said good things.

Zhang Wen responded with a smile, "Zecheng is indeed capable, I will ask him for help..."

"I'll wait and see..." Sun Quan nodded meaningfully.

The trade between Jiangdong and Jingzhou was interrupted due to the war. Many big merchants who had tasted the benefits were unwilling to accept the benefits. They expressed their opinions to Sun Quan through the nobles behind them, saying that no matter how great the conflict between Sun and Liu, they still wanted to trade with Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. After all,

The output of Jiangdong can no longer meet the needs of the local people.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After enjoying the abundant supplies, the gentry and people in Jiangdong returned to a life of simple food and clothing, without the novel furniture and supplies in Guangzhou, and without the "Yangtze River News" that can view the world, which will make the people of Jiangdong feel...

The strong sense of gap also made them miss the good old days.

After Sun Quan discussed with the ministers, he ordered Lu Xun to start negotiations with Jingzhou with full authority, demanding that Jiangdong's interests be restored to the previous trade status without harming Jiangdong's interests, and asking for the remains of Jiangdong's fallen soldiers so that they could return to their hometown and be buried in peace.

.

After receiving the order, Lu Xun rushed to Wuchang in person and went to Gan Ning to negotiate with Gan Ning with sincerity for peace.

At this time, Wuchang was still under expansion. Lu Xun saw that Wuchang's fortifications were mainly for defense, so he would not continue to invade eastward with such great effort. Lu Xun also guessed that Liu Bei wanted to use this place as the boundary between Sun and Liu. He

It is believed that there is a great opportunity to resume trade and commerce.

Lu Xun also saw that Gan Ning was running the army well, and Liu Bei was guarding the east of Jingzhou, so Jiangdong basically had no chance of sneak attacks in the past.

Gan Ning was surprised by Jiang Dong's behavior and thought it would take another hundred days to break his muscles and bones. Jiang Dong sent people to negotiate so quickly. Could it be a new conspiracy?

Before leaving, Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to pay special attention to Lu Xun, saying that although this person was unknown, he was the most powerful threat to Jiangdong now.

Lan Tian's words were always accurate, so Gan Ning had to take matters seriously. Facing Lu Xun's request for trade, he sent people to Xiangyang to report the situation, and at the same time sent people to Guangzhou to ask for instructions.

Gan Ning's messenger arrived in Guangzhou in mid-November. When he arrived, he learned that Lan Tian had not been home for half a year, and Jiang Wan was handling all government affairs in Jiaozhou.

The messenger then hurried to Jieyang, passing by Zengcheng and Boluo on the way, and found that the trapped troops were training in the wild. These trapped troops were all sixteen or seventeen years old and full of vigor. They were recruits supplemented by Gao Shun and Lan Yuan. They are now

The high-intensity training is to prepare for the conquest of Lin Yiguo next spring.

The messenger rushed to Longchuan to rest and found that there were still many barbarian soldiers patrolling nearby. After asking, he found out that they were from Samoko's army. They were invited to Longchuan for "training" and their main force is currently stationed in

Jieyang.

In the local battlefield of Longchuan last year, thousands of Luling officers and soldiers pretended to be cross-border troops and successfully contained Samoko for two months. Later, Lan Yuan used the method of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, and bandits pretending to be Wang Jin invaded Nanye County and crossed the border.

The Luling officers and soldiers then retreated to defend themselves.

Wang Jin's bandit team was in Nanye, Gan County and other places. They played Ding Feng around and kidnapped the family of Yu Fan, the magistrate of Nanye County. This incident had a great impact on the counties south of Luling.

After the war, more than half of the people from Nanye, Gan County, and Yudu counties moved with their families over the mountains and ridges to settle in Longchuan County. At first, the Yue people took the lead in escaping, and later it also affected the settlements at the foot of the mountain.

of Han people.

Mountains criss-cross the southern part of Luling. Nanye, Ganxian and Yudu counties are located in the Yuzhang River and Ganshui river valleys. Further south is Dayuling (one of the five ridges) that meets Jiaozhou.

The Dayuling Mountains are intertwined with high mountains, densely covered with ravines and mountain streams. Even if Ding Feng's garrison was stationed at the entrance of each valley, they could not stop the people's determination to flee south.

Those mountains are like the wall of separation between the United States and Mexico. Mexicans are desperate to flock to the free country in the north. After all, the beautiful land is too attractive, not to mention the beautiful scenery every day.

The mass exodus of the people in the southern part of Luling did not happen overnight. After Longjie Governor Tan Dingzhou took office, he used his advantage of being a Yue to send a large number of Yue people to cross the border and infiltrate, portraying Jiaozhou as a holy land on earth.

After years of infiltration by Tanding Zhou, Wang Jin led the "bandits" to invade Nanye County, directly detonating the emotions of the people.

Bandits come and go freely in the south of Luling. Even the county magistrate and his whole family were kidnapped by the thieves. There is no sense of security in this area. In addition, there is not much fertile land, which is occupied by big landowners in various counties. Ordinary people's

Times are already difficult.

In the past, people in Yue had word of mouth that the terrain on the Longchuan side was better and flatter; later on, policies were very attractive, and land distribution was provided for people who moved to naturalize. In the first two years, there was no need to pay taxes to the government, so the vast area in the south of Luling
