This city, which future generations may call a paradise on earth, was built not too long ago. Just like its owner, he was still relatively young.

Wujun was the pinnacle of Sun's pioneering work in Jiangdong, and perhaps also the tomb of his pioneering work.

Ten miles south of the city, there is an unknown mountain.

Sun Quan was on the mountain, looking at the land of Wu Commandery.

In order to prevent flooding in the Yangtze River, Wu County is more than ten miles away from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the nearby lakes have rich water systems, and Jiangdong is easy to travel by boat, so transportation is convenient. Because the Yangtze River brings abundant irrigation, plus its own

It is a natural danger that makes it seem that we have both advantages in Jiangdong...

Goods from all directions gather here, and large ships and small boats come in and out every day.

It was precisely because of these convenient transportation conditions that the powerful Jiangdong gentry controlled the vast territory of Jiangdong that was originally impossible to control.

Jiangdong is far from being developed as well as it was in later generations. There are still many places with mountains, forests, hills and other places that are not conducive to farming. Of course, there are not many Han people. The Yue people living in these areas have been together with them since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Wu State, Chu State, etc. are constantly fighting against each other...

The most famous one is Gou Jian, King of Yue.

This Yue King Gou Jian, who was sung by the Yue people and even believed by many people in later generations, was actually advocating victory, purely for the sake of victory at all costs. After Gou Jian was defeated by the King of Wu, he immediately wanted to offer his wife, "

Then he ordered the official Zhong Xingcheng to come to Wu. He stood on his knees and paused, saying: "The king's deceased minister Gou Jian sent his accompanying minister Zhong to dare to sue the deacon: Gou Jian invites you to be your minister and your wife to be your concubine"..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After being rejected by King Wu, Gou Jian immediately wanted to kill his wife and burn all her belongings to bury him with her, but Wen Zhong offered a plan to save her life.

But after Gou Jian succeeded, he gave Wen Zhongjian and said: "You taught me nine skills to defeat Wu. I used three of them to defeat Wu. The sixth one is with me. I will try it from the previous king."

Such a king naturally cannot last long.

After King Gou Jian of Yue, he could never rise again. Later, the State of Yue was destroyed by the State of Chu, but after the destruction of the country, the hatred remained.

Just like Sun Quan, the leader of Jiangdong, although he bowed his head at the moment, his hatred has not disappeared.

His father died violently, and Sun Ce was forced by the situation to temporarily put aside his blood feud and bow his head and kneel down to lick him.

When his brother was assassinated, Sun Quan was forced by the situation to temporarily hide his hatred and lowered his head to lick it.

But the more I lick this egg, uh, gall, the more I feel hatred.

The conflict between Sun Quan and the powerful Jiangdong gentry was just like the conflict between princes and nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The nobles did not support any reforms that might affect their own interests, while the princes could only rely on

The previous inertia and compromise were used to bargain with the nobles. Even though Sun Quan supported some newcomers, these people still did not have enough strength to compete with these noble nobles.

What Sun Quan could do before was to enfeoff all members of the Sun family, big and small, like a lord, but this kind of enfeoffment made these "royal branches" more and more powerful and powerful.

Bloated and difficult to control.

Some of these "princes" who were enfeoffed not only failed to give Sun Quan enough support, but even colluded with certain nobles and nobles, posing a great threat to Sun Quan's own position.

Amid internal and external troubles, the sense of crisis brought about by this instability in Sun Quan's heart naturally deepened.

But he was helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to reform, or that he didn't know how to reform. It was just that every time he moved a little, countless voices surged over him, and countless people rushed to hug his thighs and arms.

…

His current situation is even worse than when his brother came to the throne. Let alone reforms, it is still unknown whether he can keep his throne. The dead Sun Ce never thought that he would die, so there was no

Not much preparation, not to mention too many funeral arrangements.

Sun Quan recalled a time when he and his brother Sun Ce were walking by the river and saw lush reeds all over the river. At that time, Sun Ce sighed with emotion: "How can we get rid of these spear grasses that are so numerous and cumbersome to support the road?"

"Cut it with the sword and burn it with the fire." Sun Quan said at that time.

"Eliminate it today and revive it tomorrow," Sun Ce shook his head and sighed, "It can be said that it has deep roots..."

Sun Quan might still be a little angry at that time, "If it can be eliminated this year, it will be eliminated again next year!"

Sun Ce laughed, "But whose hand is the handle of this spear-weeding knife? What's more, this knife may be blunt sometimes..."

Thinking about it now, maybe Sun Ce realized at that time that relying solely on pure force could not solve Jiangdong's problem.

Therefore, a fire must be ignited from it...

Burn it!

A bottle of wine was brought to Sun Quan by a servant.

Take a sip, and the sugar after the microorganisms decompose the starch gives the slightly shallow drink a slight sweetness.

Sun Quan put down the wine bottle. He felt that every sip he took now was like drinking poison.

In order to prevent himself from being poisoned by this bottle of "poisonous wine", Sun Quan planned to replace the "craftsman" who made the wine.

"My lord, the school affairs have arrived..."

"Please." Sun Quan commanded calmly.

Not long after, Ji Yan arrived at the top of the mountain and visited Sun Quan.

"Zixiu," Sun Quan looked at Wu Commandery City. Shan Lan lifted up Sun Quan's robe. He seemed to have a somewhat mundane demeanor, but the words in his mouth were deep in the world, "Would you like to relieve my worries?"

"My lord! I am willing to die for my lord!" Naturally, Jianyan fought for the ground with her head.

Sun Quan nodded, then went up to help Jian Yan up very kindly.

In fact, Sun Quan was not very satisfied with the previous performance of Ji Yan and others. It could even be said that he was very disappointed. Ji Yan and others failed to suppress the Jiangdong nobles and could not even restrain them. Instead, they were defeated by Jiangdong.

The nobles had the upper hand, so that Sun Quan was very passive in the end.

But now, Sun Quan smiled very kindly, as if looking at a huge "gall", he almost went up to lick it twice, waved his hand and asked his confidants to deliver the wine, "Zixiu has this heart, that's enough!"

God gives someone a son, just like the ovary reborn! What a blessing, what a blessing! Come and drink from this bottle together!"

The two of them laughed and drank with joy on their faces.

"Now the autumn harvest is over..." Sun Quan put down the wine bottle and looked at Ji Yan with a smile, "Now that we have harvested the crops, we must burn the weeds... Does Zixiu understand?"

Jieyan's eyelids twitched, but she quickly replied: "I understand..."

Sun Quan smiled, patted Ji Yan's shoulder, and held it tightly, as if it was clasped into Ji Yan's body, "Remember, you have to find those weeds...find them out...and then,

Burn it all!"

Ji Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "My lord! Take the order!"
