Such common sense, doesn’t Da Sima even know this?

It shouldn’t be. I heard that Da Sima started his career in farming, so there’s no reason why he doesn’t understand this.

"Go ahead!" Feng Da Sima struck the whip into the palm of his hand and agreed, "That's why this mulberry tree is very important and indispensable."

"It's just, Qin School Affairs, you see, our Han Dynasty's Shu land, in order to provide food for you Jingzhou, grows more grain and less mulberry."

Speaking of this, Feng Da Sima sighed with emotion:

"The land of Shu is famous for its brocades. Who would have thought that in recent years, they have only been focusing on growing grain to help the allies. Silk silk has become less and less, and Shu brocades are hard to see. It will no longer be as grand as before!"

Qin Bo's face twitched.

He glanced at Feng Da Sima's clothes and said nothing.

After Feng Da Sima sighed with emotion, he said to Qin Bo:

"School Minister Qin, do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Bo tentatively asked with some uncertainty:

"Da Sima means, planting mulberries?"

"Yes, south of Nanjun, except for the sugar cane land, the rest can be converted from rice to mulberry, specializing in silk production. We will harvest as much as we produce, just like sugar cane production."

As Feng Da Sima said, he stretched out his palm and made a virtual grab between Jingzhou and Shu:

"In this way, we in Shu don't have to worry about low grain prices hurting farmers. At the same time, with silk, thousands of people in Shu who make a living by weaving Sichuan brocade will have a secure livelihood."

"And you Da Wu don't have to worry about not having money to buy horses." Feng Da Sima stretched out his finger and pointed back and forth between himself and Qin Bo a few times, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the best of both worlds?"

"Changing rice to mulberry is like making sugar cane?" Qin Bo immediately grasped the key point. He repeated, feeling a little confused and feeling that something was not right.

But more importantly, it’s heartwarming.

How precious is Shu Brocade?

If silk could be exchanged for Sichuan brocade, just like jaggery can be exchanged for brown sugar, wouldn't that open up another huge source of wealth?

"Da Sima, you are really the current Duke Tao Zhu!"

Qin Bo subconsciously praised him heartily.

"Really? Schoolmaster Qin also thinks this is wonderful, right?"

Qin Bo shook his head, "This is a very good strategy, but..."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"It's just that the matter is so big that I don't dare to specialize in it. I have to ask His Majesty for instructions."

"OK, no problem."

Feng Da Sima readily agreed and looked at Qin Bo with eyes full of smiles.

Because Sun Quan agreed or not, Feng Da Sima didn't care at all.

If Emperor Sun is willing to drink poison to quench his thirst in order to survive the current financial crisis and solve the problem of war horses in the army, that would be good for you, good for me, good for everyone.

If you don't want to...

It is said that there is a mountain and rock barrier between Shu and Jingzhou, but why isn't the distance between Jiangdong, especially Jianye and Jingzhou, far away?

The so-called "out of reach" refers to Wu State's current control over the local area and the degree of penetration of Jingzhou by the Han Dynasty.

Even without Sun Quan's false edict, wouldn't Feng Da Sima be able to do this?

You have to ask the Jingzhou aristocratic families who are used to reaping sugar cane dividends and the highly independent Jingzhou military leaders if they will agree.

For this kind of thing, Feng Dashima only needs to sow the seeds.

Someone will water it later and let it germinate.

The biggest obstacle to this matter is actually Lu Xun, so Feng Dashima just needs to find a way to deal with him.

"Then let's not mention the first condition for now. If Master Wu doesn't agree, we can talk about it again. I'll talk about the second condition."

Feng Dashima stretched out two fingers:

"That's Lu Boyan. He must leave Jingzhou! I don't want to see him at the border between Han and Wu!"

"Ah?" Qin Bo heard this condition and immediately asked subconsciously, "Why?"

"Because I hate Lu Boyan very much!" Feng Dasima said confidently, "When I think of him staying in Xiangyang now, not far from Guanzhong, I feel very sick!"

Qin Bo was immediately speechless.

This reason...

very good, very powerful.

It seems that his guess is right. Feng Da Sima is indeed very resentful towards the general.

No, it should be extremely deep.

Otherwise, we would not have made such a request.

"Da Sima, your conditions," Qin Bo smiled bitterly, "are really embarrassing for me!"

Feng Dasima sneered:

"Qin's school affairs, please don't say anything more. You can't even agree to this condition."

But I saw him throw away the whip, walked back to his seat, sat down, and said slowly:

"Qin School Affairs, I can tell you that we can discuss other matters, but if you don't agree to this matter, then there is nothing left to discuss."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Bo:

"Qin School Affairs, if it had been the School Affairs Bureau in earlier years, even if this matter was somewhat difficult, I'm afraid you would have handled it long ago."

"Have I made you too much money over the years, so you have forgotten what your true responsibilities are?"

"Do you want me to let Xinghanhui cut off your bonuses now? Huh?!"

The last "um" increased the tone.

Qin Bo immediately felt a great sense of oppression.

"Da Sima, Da Sima, please don't be impulsive, think twice, please think twice!"

The dividends obtained from transactions with the Han Dynasty every year are the foundation of the school affairs office.

If your financial resources and income are cut off, why would your Majesty keep the school affairs office?

If it really comes to that point, the school affairs office from top to bottom will probably be pounced on and torn to pieces by the ministers, central ministers, and local officials.

Feng Dasima sneered, picked up the tea cup, and took a big sip. His mouth was dry after spending so much time just now.

But he just didn't look Qin Bo in the eye.

Qin Bo was very eye-catching, and he quickly stepped forward, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Feng Dashima.

Then he said with a smile:

"Don't be angry, Sir. The villain just said that this matter is difficult to handle, but he didn't say that it can't be done. Don't you think so?"

"I knew it."

Feng Da Sima then smiled again and pointed at Qin Bo:

"Don't try to be so cunning in front of me. This matter is actually not difficult at all!"

He picked up the teacup and took another sip before continuing:

"Lu Boyan has been in Jingzhou for a long time. He has decided many things with one word. He has great power and high prestige. Now he has led the army to capture Xiangyang. It can be said that the army and people of Jingzhou are looking forward to it."

"And what about Master Wu? He led the army to attack Hefei repeatedly. Even last year, with such a huge momentum, he returned without success."

Feng Da Sima glanced at Qin Bo and said, "Tell me, comparing the two, what do you want the lieutenants of the army to think?"

"Coupled with the three battles in Jingzhou, Yiling, and Shiting, this Lu Boyan can be regarded as a master of great achievements, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Feng Da Sima shook his head, "It's such a high achievement, and it controls half of Wu's territory alone, plus the military and civilians are looking forward to it..."

Having said this, Feng Da Sima looked at Qin Bo meaningfully, "Qin School Affairs, do you think I should be worried about Lord Wu, or should I say that Lord Wu's trust in the general is rare in ancient times?"

He sighed again and said leisurely:

"It would be fine if nothing happened, but something is really going to happen. The school affairs office, which is supposed to supervise all officials, did nothing. I wonder if this is considered dereliction of duty?"

Qin Bo's hands and feet suddenly became cold and his face turned pale.

He looked at Feng Da Sima blankly and almost blurted out:

If the Grand Sima were in charge of the school affairs office, who in the court would dare to disobey?

Feng Da Sima reached out to touch the tea cup again, picked it up and took a sip, but in fact he was hiding his gaze on Qin Bo.

Seeing Qin Bo's horrified expression, Feng Dasima raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
