Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 650
In the past two days, Sun Quan has received some bad news from the city.

The circulation of new coins gradually caused many problems.

The merchants in Wu County are basically controlled by the big families.

Under the pressure of Sun Quan, he also obeyed Sun Quan's words at the beginning.

Although he resisted the new currency, he also acquiesced to Sun Quan's approach.

However, while merchants receive new coins, they cannot trade with other counties.

Now they are all in the warehouse, like a pile of scrap iron.

Various merchants have also been doing loss-making business, which has caused many small merchants to close their doors to avoid bankruptcy.

The merchants controlled by some big aristocratic families were also hit hard.

Therefore, after private discussions among the families, they decided to refuse to accept new coins.

Even if Sun Quan threatened repeatedly, the various families remained indifferent.

After all, you can't use your family's ancestral property for his Sun Quan.

Therefore, the current situation in Wujun is that small merchants stay behind closed doors, and large merchants do not accept new coins.

As a result, the new currency is now useless.

Sun Quan was also extremely troubled by this, and summoned Yang Xiu several times to discuss the matter.

However, Yang Xiu still acted nonchalantly, and his confident appearance convinced Sun Quan every time.

However, Zhou Yu on the front line was also affected by the deactivation of the new currency.

As a result, the army could no longer attack, so it retreated to Wu County.

Zhou Yu was also full of anger at the moment, if he was given a little more time, he might be able to defeat Yuan Tan.

However, at the most critical moment, Sun Quan lost the chain.

How could Zhou Yu accept this.

And at the moment, there is a lot of suspicion in the army about this matter.

Let alone the morale of the current army, people's hearts are a little messed up.

Until now, there has been no large-scale turmoil, and it is Zhou Yu who manages the army well.

Zhou Yu, who returned to Wu County, did not dare to stop for a moment to go to Sun Quan's mansion, wanting to ask why.

Seeing the angry Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was also a little embarrassed.

After all, he promised that he would handle the matter properly, so Zhou Yu could go to the front line with peace of mind.

However, Zhou Yu played so perfectly on the front line, but the problem at this moment is that the army retreated due to the instability in the rear.

It is also unacceptable.

Sun Quan didn't know how to face Zhou Yu at this moment.

"Zhongmou, what happened? Why is there a problem with the new coins? The military is also extremely unstable because of this incident. Today you have to explain to me." Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan angrily.

Seeing Zhou Yu's anger, Sun Quan also said with shame on his face, "Don't be anxious, Gongjin. I'm also trying to figure out a way to do this. The major merchants don't agree with the use of the new currency for the time being. Now I don't have it either."

Zhou Yu then said: "These aristocratic families know their own petty interests, and now it is a time of life and death, but they are still thinking about their own interests."

Sun Quan also said angrily: "Who says it's not, but I can't fight too hard with them. After all, our army's military supplies and other things still need to rely on their taxes to form."

Zhou Yu also felt helpless when he heard this.

Although these great families did not dare to fall out with Sun Quan, they still hold the lifeblood of Soochow, and the status of this family is also extraordinary.

Right now, Sun Quan has nothing to do with these people. Now that I think about it, it was Yang Xiu's bad idea.

If it wasn't for Yang Xiu's suggestion, how could he take such a risk.

That day, he really should have listened to Zhang Zhao's words and paid more attention to the matter of the new currency.

Now in this chaotic situation, what should I do?
Therefore, he also angrily ordered his servants to send Yang Xiu to come.

At this moment, Yang Xiu also knew why Sun Quan summoned him, so he also put away the second bag he opened.

I went to meet Sun Quan myself.

After Sun Quan saw Yang Xiu, he asked angrily: "Staff Yang, you came up with a good idea. Now Wu County is in chaos, and the army is also dissatisfied with it. How are you going to deal with it?"

Seeing Sun Quan like this, Yang Xiu didn't show any fear, so he said calmly: "My lord, the time is almost here now, and we can implement the next plan."

Seeing that Yang Xiu still had a plan, Sun Quan said eagerly, "You have a plan, but come quickly."

Yang Xiu said calmly: "My lord, now is the time to surrender to Yuan Tan and let him settle in Wu County."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was also furious: "You want to lure Yuan Tan into the city, so why should I resist to the death when I leave the city?"

Sun Quan also couldn't stand Yang Xiudao anymore at this moment: "This is your plan? You asked me to sacrifice Wu Jun?"

Yang Xiu then said: "My lord, this is a policy of retreat. I didn't say it before, because I was afraid of the lord's opposition, so I came up with this plan. Now that there is chaos in Wu County, it is the right time. As long as Yuan Tan Entering the city, it will be the time of Yuan Tan's death."

Sun Quan was also a little dissatisfied and said: "Why do you say that? I have sacrificed this Wu County, so how could something happen to Yuan Tan?"

Yang Xiu then explained: "Everyone in Wu County has resentment over the new currency issue. If Yuan Tan can't settle the matter safely, riots will inevitably occur. At that time, everyone will be driven by their own interests. Why should the lord order it? Yuan Tan will be hacked to death with random knives."

Zhou Yu understood a little at this moment, because he also encountered such a situation in the army that day. The so-called human heart is nothing but human desires.

Yang Xiu actually wanted to use this matter to deal with Yuan Tan, it was really a bit of a trick.

"However, if Yuan Tan is stationed in Wujun, if he opens the Wujun treasury and distributes the old coins to the army, wouldn't it be able to calm the hearts of the people, and how could it cause rebellion?" Zhou Yu asked.

Yang Xiu smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "The treasury is in my hands now, so how can there be old coins?"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up too, but in an instant he said worriedly: "Even if this Yuan Tan can't solve the Wu County's affairs, and the turmoil is everywhere, how can I appease this Wu County?"

Yang Xiu then said: "As long as this Yuan Tan dies, I will find a way to appease this Wu County. My lord, please take a look."

After all, he took out a roll of maps from his pocket.

Zhou Yu could tell at a glance that this was the entire territory of Jingzhou.

Yang Xiu then said: "After Yuan Tan's death, we can discuss the ownership of Jingzhou's interests with the big families, use Jingzhou as a bargaining chip, buy the family, and let them contribute to solve the current difficulties."

Sun Quan also wanted to understand: "It is to draw a big cake for the big families, and use their hands to settle the morale of the army."

But Yang Xiu shook his head and said, "My lord's words are wrong. It's not a big picture. Once Yuan Tan dies, who in Jingzhou can stop the pace of Zhou Dudu, and it will be easy for him to get it."

Zhou Yu also said to himself at this moment: "That's natural, if there is no Yuan Tan, I will be in Jingzhou."
