I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

I muttered in my heart, this should be a reward, right?

Sure enough, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Quan's mouth.

"Denger, since you have a pair of discerning eyes, you were bestowed the official title of "Wu County Sacrifice Wine" as a father. You can dig out young and useful talents from Soochow like Cao Xiong, the son of Wei in the north, and earn them as What you use."

Can grant Sun Deng the right to recruit talents.

It can be seen that after this incident, Sun Deng's position in Sun Quan's heart has been greatly changed.

He is no longer that sick son, but a man who can support Soochow's future hopes.

"Baby takes orders!" Sun Deng bowed again.

Finally... for more than ten years, he had a half-time official position in Soochow and had the opportunity to develop his power.

Of course Cao Xiong was also happy for him...

Discovering young talents, this is what Cao Xiong insists on doing...

Most of the famous generals of the older generation have made great achievements in battle, and it is not uncommon for them to disobey discipline...

On the contrary, the newcomers, especially those brought up by one hand, are more obedient, and of course, work harder.

For Cao Xiong, Xu Yi is like this, Dianman is like this, Sima Yi is like this, and so is Li Xiaoyu who guards Hanxian Emperor Liu Xie in Xuchang!

There is a saying that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach...

……

……

Not long after, the stove in Nanshan came up again, and the stove was still the same stove...

It's just that the cook has been replaced by the best cook in Soochow.

Brand-new tables and chairs, and brand-new bamboo stools were laid out one by one.

The celebration banquet became a lot more grand because of Sun Quan's joining.

Sun Quan made a toast to the miners on each table one by one...

Yes, 50 years old…

For these miners, it is a great honor, and if you say it, you can brag about it for a lifetime...

Tonight, it was rare to be happy, Cao Xiong allowed everyone to go to the warehouse to collect wages, bring an old hen, and take a day off.

Chapter 1088 Am I that stingy

Thirty soldiers from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Huben Army were stationed on the Nanshan Mountain. At the foot of the Nanshan Mountain, there was a team of more than [-] people from Soochow strictly guarding the way up and down the mountain.

Don't worry, some people dare to come here to steal iron.

Cao Xiong was also sitting in Sun Shangxiang's sedan chair, returning to the consort's mansion for the first time in a few days...

This time, it was not a matter of fear, but a generous and graceful return...

……

"Lang Jun, how do you know there will be iron in Nanshan?"

In the sedan chair, Sun Shangxiang looked like a curious baby... asking questions.

Cao Xiong couldn't explain it either... It can't be said that someone who was born 500 years later gave me a map of the distribution of minerals in the south of the Yangtze River, right?

Even if it is said, no one will believe it.

"It's mysterious." Sun Shangxiang pouted, deliberately showing anger. "Then... why did Mr. Lang steal my dowry? Why didn't you tell me?"

"This..." Cao Xiong was even more at a loss for words... No matter what kind of explanation he gave, he seemed to be powerless.

"This... about the literati, how can it be stealing? It's not stealing, it's stealing... yes... it's stealing..."

Changing the topic... Cao Xiong has already used this trick very skillfully when facing girls...

"Cut..." Sun Shangxiang looked disdainful.

Cao Xiong coughed. "I'm going to tell my wife about using the dowry, and it's probably going to die."

"No way!" Sun Shangxiang pouted. "Am I that stingy? Isn't my dowry your husband's?"

Ha ha…

Cao Xiong looked up at her quietly.

Believe you are a ghost!

"Cao Xiong, come here..." But Sun Shangxiang's thin Qianqian hands beckoned to him and ordered.

Cao Xiong was a little scared at once, looking at Sun Shangxiang's appearance, he seemed to be saying, come here?I promise not to kill you.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little dignified and awkward.

"Uh..." Cao Xiong was about to speak, but Sun Shangxiang approached him on his own initiative.

For a moment, her arms wrapped around Cao Xiong's neck...

The lips were very light and soft, and quickly tapped on Cao Xiong's mouth.

Immediately, like a shy little rabbit, he backed away.

This is?The encouragement of love...

"You should have said it earlier." Cao Xiong smiled slightly, and sat on the side of Sun Shangxiang...

In the carriage, there was a sudden rustling sound... and the sometimes slight, sometimes violent shaking...

……

……

It has been more than ten days since Nanshan came out of the iron.

During this period of time, several major events took place in Soochow.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Ji, is ill, and he is very ill... It is said that the best doctors in Wu County have gone to treat the illness...

As a result, without exception, heart disease...heart disease needs a doctor of heart medicine!

As for the heart medicine, don't think about it, it's Nanshan...

In addition, in the Lu family's ancestral hall, there is always a young man kneeling - Lu Xun, the leader of the new generation of the Lu family.

Be ashamed, blame yourself, give up the gold and silver mountains to others, and keep the sadness to yourself.

Lu Xun, who has carried forward his fearless spirit, has a hurdle in his heart at this moment, and he can never get over it...

For the first time, he felt that Cao Xiong, the eldest son of the Great Wei...

Maybe this son who is a few years younger than him is really stronger than him... and much stronger...

This is a bit embarrassing, as if it is a person who has always been a "child from other people's family" in the eyes of parents... Outstanding everywhere, suddenly fell down from the altar...

The higher you stand, the harder you fall...

This is an even more ancient truth!

As for what Lu Xun needs to do now is to atone for his sins...to atone for his sins in front of his ancestors.

……

Chapter 1089 One stone stirs up a thousand waves

In addition to the Lu family, the eight major families pooled together 5000 million coins and purchased the first batch of iron from Nanshan... [-] shi!

This dosage just reached the task that Sun Quan entrusted to them, the one hundred thousand arrows...

The smithy is casting non-stop day and night... A truckload of arrows is being transported to the front line quickly.

Although I spent so much money, I feel so distressed...

But after all, helping the front line to prepare arrows, and the commander of the front line fighting is no longer passive, which is considered a great achievement.

External contradictions must be greater than internal contradictions...

This point... the Eight Great Clans can still handle it clearly.

……

……

Wu Jun, the palace.

"Old minister, I don't know if I should say something..." Zhang Zhao knelt on the ground and played Sun Quan in front of him.

Beside him is Zhang Hong...

These two old ministers can be regarded as the most trusted ministers of Sun Quan.

"But it doesn't matter!" Sun Quan seemed to respect them very much, and helped Zhang Zhao himself.

"Nanshan..." Zhang Zhao directly stated his purpose: "Nanshan is an iron mountain after all...In troubled times, its value is comparable to gold and silver..."

Speaking of this, a chill flashed in his eyes.

"If this Nanshan is always in Cao Xiong's hands...whether it is Soochow's daily expenses or war reserves...it will be a big disadvantage!"

Speaking of this... Sun Quan has already understood the general idea of ​​Zhang Zhaozuo's invitation.

He wanted Sun Quan to forcibly take back Nanshan... as Soochow's property, not his Cao Xiong's property...

"Marquis Wu..."

"Wait a minute..." Before Zhang Zhao could continue speaking, Sun Quan stretched out his hand. "Nanshan was given to the Lu family by the elder brother Sun Ce... The original ownership should belong to the Lu family, and I can't get involved after all."

"Nowadays, the Lu family sold Nanshan to Cao Xiong, the heir of the great Wei Dynasty. It is known all over the city, and the whole Soochow Wu is rumored..."

"In addition, this Nanshan Mountain is not only the property of Cao Xiong, but also the property of my sister Sun Shangxiang and my son Sun Deng...Tell me, how can an elder brother take away a sister's property, or a father take away a son's property?"

"What's more...Cao Xiong's special status is related to the friendship between Great Wei and our Soochow...This..."

Having said so much in succession, Sun Quan's meaning couldn't be clearer, Nanshan can't be taken, let alone taken away!

Otherwise, it would be a big deal, and Sun Quan would be the next best thing to be the laughing stock of the world, and maybe he would provoke Wei, a powerful enemy.

in fact.

Cao Xiong had expected early on that if iron could be dug out from Nanshan, even if Sun Quan didn't care about it, he would definitely care about it...

The best way is the shareholding system...

Give some shares to Soochow, Sun Shangxiang, Sun Deng... Both of them are surnamed Sun!

In this way, Soochow is wary... Sun Quan cares about his reputation, so naturally he dare not touch his Nanshan.

"Old minister..." Zhang Zhao stood up slowly and shook his head slightly. Sun Quan mentioned this, but he was negligent. "Old minister... I haven't thought enough!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hands again.

"Alas..." Zhang Hong on the side sighed. "After all, it was originally the property of our four major families in Wu County... Mr. Zhang is a little unwilling, and it is understandable..."

In fact, it is Zhang Zhao who is not reconciled, he Zhang Hong, he Lu Ji... the four major families of Wu County, which of the eight major families of Eastern Wu is willing?

"Yes!" Sun Quan took a sip of his tea. "In the future, don't bring this up again..."

……

……

Wu County, at the market.

"Nanshan is out of iron!"
