Although Cao Shuo was in Chengdu and Jiaozhou, he knew everything about what happened.

When Sun Quan came to Chengdu, Cao Shu decided to meet him in the study instead of choosing the main hall.

It was Lu Xun who was waiting for Sun Quan outside the palace.

When he saw Sun Quan, Lu Xun bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Wu."

If Sun Quan had seen Lu Xun a few days ago, he would have been angry from his heart and wished he could come forward and kill him with a sword.

After losing Jiaozhou and committing suicide by hanging Liang, Sun Quan has now become much more calm.

He bowed to Lu Xun and bowed: "General Lu, it's been a long time since he was gone."

When Sun Quan showed peace, Lu Xun was a little at a loss. After all, he had been an official in the Sun family for some years and had also benefited from the Sun family.

Although he later saw that the Sun family would not make any achievements, he would still feel ashamed when facing Sun Quan.

It was seen from Lu Xun's face that ashamed was seen. Sun Quan smiled slightly and said to him: "Did General Lu think of what happened?"

"There was no way at the beginning." Lu Xun replied: "I had long seen that the Sun family could not hold on for too long. Unfortunately, people were slight and no one would believe it when they said it. They could only act like betrayal."

"You and I will become ministers in the same palace soon, and there is no turning against you." Sun Quan smiled indifferently and asked Lu Xun: "Where will the King of Wei meet me?"

"The lord is waiting in the study." Lu Xun replied and said to Sun Quan: "Mr. Wu, please follow me."

"General Lu, please don't call me Marquis of Wu again." Sun Quan said: "This title was given by the Han court earlier. Now I have become the King of Wei and can be regarded as a minister of the Great Wei. The King of Wei has not given a title, just call me the name "大天".

"I dare not!" Lu Xun could not directly call Sun Quan's name, and said to him respectfully: "Please!"

Accompanied by Lu Xun, Sun Quan came to the backyard of the palace.

The Shu Han Palace is slightly more imposing than the one he built in Cangwu, but it still cannot be compared with the palaces in Shouchun, Luoyang and other places.

"The King of Wei has obtained Yizhou and has not repaired the palace?" Sun Quan asked Lu Xun: "Is it possible that he doesn't plan to live here for a long time?"

"Yizhou has been taken over, and now the person in charge of Yizhou is Fa Xiaozhi." Lu Xun replied: "The lord plans to hand over this place to Lingyun Pavilion, and the Lingyun Pavilion will be opened as a restaurant to earn profits. With the gimmicks of the Shu Han Palace and the dishes and scenes of Lingyun Pavilion, you are not afraid of not being able to make a fortune."

"No wonder the King of Wei has emerged in recent years, and few people in the world can compete with it!" Sun Quan praised: "Even the idea of ​​making money is so delicate, and he is willing to give it up to the Shu Han Palace to make profits. It is impossible for him to not want to prosper and be rich under his rule."

"In recent days, I have been with the lord for a lot." Lu Xun replied: "The lord often says that although he is tax-free in some places, he never said that he would not make money from the people and merchants. He wants the people to be prosperous, but he does not mean that the people are reluctant to use the money. Instead, he asks them to take out all the money and spend it. Only when the people are willing to spend money can the various places become richer and their lives will be better and better."

"The people always think about saving up some spare money." Sun Quan asked in surprise: "How did the King of Wei make them consume it?"

"It's nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun." Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Who will be willing to live a hard life if you have a good life?"

After he said this, Sun Quan nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Cao Shu's views described by Lu Xun are indeed correct.

The people accumulate money just to make their lives better.

Since they can all live a good life, why bother to save money?

Most of the income is used to accumulate, and most of them spend it. This is what most people pursue while living!

When he led the way for Sun Quan, Lu Xun told him a lot of anecdotes about Cao Shu.

Many of them are different from the opinions of Cao Shuo from people of this era.

Listening to what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan secretly gladly followed the advice of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others.

Cao Shu's insights are novel and unique. Although many of them sound like clouds and mountains and mists, if you think carefully, you will find that these insights are the most suitable for advancing the times.

Of course, Sun Quan did not know what it means to push the times forward. What he was amazed at was that Cao Shu had so many strange and special thoughts.

Leading Sun Quan to Cao Shuo's study, Lu Xun said: "Marty Wu, please wait, I will go and report to the lord."

"I'm sorry General Lu!" When Sun Quan thanked Lu Xun, he didn't feel anything wrong at all.

On the contrary, Lu Xun smiled awkwardly, turned around and walked to the door of the study: "Lord, Mr. Wu is here!"

"You haven't invited you to speak?" Cao Shu's voice came from the study.

Lu Xun returned to Sun Quan: "The lord asked Mr. Wu to come in and talk. I won't be here to accompany you, so I will take my leave first!"

Thanking Lu Xun again, Sun Quan walked into the study.

After entering the study, he saw Cao Shu fiddling with something at the desk.

After bowing, Sun Quan said, "The criminal has met the King of Wei."

"I am not your emperor, and you are not my minister. Where did the criminals come from?" Cao Shu raised his head and grinned at him: "Zhongmou please sit down!"

There was no one else in the room except Cao Shu, and even Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were not here.

After looking around, Sun Quan asked subconsciously: "There is only the King of Wei here?"

"Yes!" Flirting with the things on the table, Cao Shu replied, "I am the only one who can talk to you. Could it be that I have to call you to meet you and summon 1,800 guards?"

Speaking of this, Cao Shu raised his head and grinned at Sun Quan: "If someone else is there, how could I ask some questions?"

"The King of Wei has something to ask!" Sun Quan replied: "I will definitely speak out."

"I really want to know what you thought when you committed suicide?" Cao Shuo kept a smile on his face and asked Sun Quan: "It is really so important to you to throw away Jiaozhou?"

"Mingjian of Wei Wang did not mean to lose Jiaozhou, but I thought I was indifferent to seeing my father and brother at that time." Sun Quan replied: "After so many days, I have figured it out. If I really die, I will have no shame to see them."

"Tell me!" Cao Shu put down the things he was fiddling with, gestured to him and continue.

"My father and brother have been conquering for many years, but what they want is to continue the Sun family." Sun Quan said: "The King of Wei gave me the opportunity. The army entered Cangwu and did not violate the Sun family. He even sent a special person to escort to Luoyang. I should have been grateful for the kindness of King of Wei, but I actually committed suicide by hanging my beam. Now I think about it, I am really ashamed."
