When Sun Ce saw the Xu family's manor, he was really surprised. He always thought that Jiangnan was still underdeveloped in this era, and Yangxian was one of the more marginal counties in Wu County, with less than 10,000 households. He thought that the Xu family was just a small tyrant, and he might not be able to afford to come too many people. He didn't even dare to take all the Yi Cong Battalions, and only one of the two battalions. When he arrived at the Xu family, he found that the Xu family was richer than he thought. No wonder he was so angry that he could eat some of his goods. Judging from the size of the manor, if Xu Chun really wanted to help, it would be fine to accept all the goods of 50 million.

Sun Ce said to Xu Chun who came out to greet him in person: "After all, it is a family that has been passed down for more than 100 years, its foundation is different."

Xu Chun smiled with her, and the flesh on her face squeezed together, and her eyes narrowed into a slit. "The general has been awarded for it, but it is just that his ancestors have shown virtue. After my father passed away, we have no talent and no morals, and we have no way to enter the officialdom, so we can only return to the fields. Chun was very pleased when he heard that the general and his son were showing his power in the Central Plains. With the military saint, there was another talent in my Wu County."

Sun Ce waved his hands repeatedly. "Shame, I dare not regard myself as a military saint, as I am afraid that I will insult my ancestors. I feel very honored to be known to the ancestors in the village."

The two of them said a while of polite words. Xu Chun led Sun Ce into the gate, walked through one yard after another, and came to the main hall, and took the seats with guests and guests. The hall had already arranged a lacquer table, and slaves and servants were all covered with silk and silk, smiling and serving diligently. Xu Chun's wife and daughter-in-law also came out to accompany Feng Wan and Huang Yueying, wearing a high bun, an exquisite tortoiseshell headdress, and a skirt made of brocade. They were golden and rich. In front of them, Feng Wan and Huang Yueying were so simple that they were almost shabby.

Sun Ce secretly sighed that the Xu family is really rich.

"Dare you ask Mr. Xu, how much land is there at home? What else can you do in addition to farming?"

Xu Chun took Sun Ce's eyes and sneered secretly. Even if this seller becomes a general or a marquis, he is still a lowly person. His eyes are so direct and he doesn't know how to hide it at all. He is like a robber and his words are so rude. As soon as he meets him, he asks his family, what do you want to do? Do you rob me of my property like in Runan and Nanyang?

"Along the way, the general's eyes are all my land in the Xu family. In addition to farming, he also planted kudzu, weaving cloth, picking copper and casting, and exchanging some pocket money."

Xu Chun clapped his hands, and the two young women walked over and knelt in front of Huang Yueying and Feng Wan. Each of them presented a lacquered box. Feng Wan and Huang Yueying opened it and saw that there was a bronze mirror the size of a palm, which was exquisitely crafted and smooth and visible, but there were fine patterns on the back. It was not the common geometric patterns and auspicious words, but the immortal riding a deer through the osmanthus tree. The immortal's face was only as big as a bean, but his eyebrows were bright, and the patterns on the deer's body and the branches of the osmanthus were clearly visible. Feng Wan couldn't help but praise: "A good bronze mirror is not worse than those in Luoyang."

Xu Chun's wife Sun smiled and said, "Mrs. She is worthy of being a lady of great wealthy who has seen the world. The bronze mirror produced in Wujun is as famous as Luoyang, and is sold overseas. Even the barbarians praised it."

Sun Ce was surprised. "There are still people in Wujun doing business with overseas barbarians?"

Wang Zhen stroked his beard and nodded slightly. "It seems that although the general is from Wujun, he doesn't know much about Wujun. There are Yi and the two states overseas. The two states of Qi were sent by Emperor Qin Shihuang. Although they were separated by the sea and had bloodlines, people often came to Wuhui barter goods on boats. Yuebu and bronze clone were their favorite goods. Every time they got a clone, they thought it was treasure. Even heard that the noble woman would have to accompany her when she got married. If she died, she would be buried with her coffin and would never leave her for a moment."

Sun Ce immediately thought of Sun Quan's sending people into the sea. It seemed that this was not the momentary nature of Sun Quan. There had been such a saying among the people. He was very interested in this and pulled Wang Zhen and Xu Chun to ask for advice. Wang Zhen was an official in Wu County for several years, and Xu Chun was a local native. He had various workshops at home and had a large business. Although he had no good feelings for Sun Ce and wanted to take his life, he was very willing to talk to Sun Ce about these topics. Although Sun Ce was hateful, he was a chat expert. He could say a few words from all over the world and had no airs. When he was happy, he laughed happily and didn't pretend at all.

If it weren't for the different camps, they all liked this boy a little.

The host and the guest had a great conversation. Taking advantage of the high interest, Xu Chun suggested that Sun Ce stay in Yangxian for two more days and let him contact Yangxian's families to see if he could take all the goods so that Sun Ce could take up his post as soon as possible. Two days later, the Spring Festival was the Spring Festival. Xu Chun invited Sun Ce to come to Xu's family again to celebrate the festival and enjoy the lanterns. The Lantern Festival of Yangxian is still very famous, and the lanterns of the Xu family are even more unique. Not only are the lanterns beautiful, but they also have various performances such as guessing riddles and dragon dances, which are very lively.

Sun Ce happily agreed.

——

Tongguan Mountain.

Chen Bai looked at Xu Min, his yellow eyes rolled around, and his rough thumb rubbed his beard, making a rustling sound. Xu Min was ordered by Xu Chun to come overnight and asked them to come to Yangxian to do a big business on the night of the Lantern Festival. He was quite moved.

It's not just because there are a lot of spoils to be obtained, but because the opponent is Sun Ce and Sun Jian's son.

When Emperor Yangming conquered Zang Min, Sun Jian and others, tens of thousands were captured, thousands died under the butcher's knife, and his great career was destroyed in the blink of an eye, he hated him so much that he had hid in this Tongguan Mountain as a bandit, made a cow and horse for Xu Chun, and did something shameful.

He dreamed of killing Sun Jian, but he didn't have the ability. He now didn't even have the strength to leave Wujun. He could only watch Sun Jian rise step by step and transfer from Wujun Sima to another place. He also watched him become the prefect of Changsha and be granted the title of marquis. Now he watched their father and son occupy Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ce actually came to Yangzhou and passed by him. This was indeed a great opportunity. He knew it was taken advantage of by Xu Chun, but he was willing. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and even felt that he would never have a chance in his life. He could only go to see Emperor Yangming with hatred. Unexpectedly, God was merciful and the opportunity came to his door.

"How many people are Sun Ce?"

"More than five thousand people." Xu Min stroked his knees and said slowly: "Don't fight with them, just burn their ships and cargo. On the evening of the Lantern Festival, my father will invite them to a banquet to enjoy the lanterns. You will mix with the people and set a few fires before leaving. This should be fine."

"It's okay to set fire. The ship and cargo are burning. Who should we ask for the benefits?"

"If you burn the boat, Sun Ce will naturally refuse to give up. He will definitely go into the mountains to chase and suppress the enemy. At that time, the merits will be calculated based on the head level. Sun Ce's head level is 1,000 gold, the captain's head level is 500 gold, the commander's head level is 50 gold, the military marquis is 50 gold, and the average soldier's level is 1,000 gold, and the average soldier's level is 1,000 yuan. As for where the money comes from, you don't have to worry. With my Xu family as a guarantee, you will not be less than one money."

Xu Min paused and said, "If you want to be an official, you can do it. If you kill Sun Ce, you will be a general."

Chen Bai raised half of his eyebrows, and said with a teasing voice. "Where do you get the confidence? I remember that your Xu family has a bad reputation and cannot get involved with the party members."

Xu Min looked at Chen Bai quietly. "Whether to do it or not, please give me an answer tomorrow morning."

"Who else do you want to meet so busy?" Chen Baihu snorted: "Yan Baihu?"

Xu Min said lightly: "Danyang, you are not the only one in the Kuaiji area. There are several who are stronger than you."

Chen Bai slapped his face in anger. "No, you can't give this job to others. I must kill Sun Ce with my own hands to avenge Emperor Yangming."
