Chapter 994 Forbearance for now!
"Back to Your Majesty, for now, the best way is to endure temporarily!"
"A small leak will sink a great ship!"
"Don't put your majesty in a dilemma just because of a moment of anger!"
"This matter is actually not a bad thing for the king!"
Lu Su thought for a while, and persuaded Sun Quan.
"What kind of a good thing is this?"
"This king can't wait to peel off their skins and drink their blood!"
"These bastards, when they are in trouble, don't see them move, they always come out to make trouble at critical times!"
"The faces of these gentry, this king can see clearly!"
Those grasshoppers in Jiangdong hurt Sun Quan deeply.
If it wasn't for Sun Quan, would they be able to sit here and fight against him with such peace of mind?
These bastards, if you don't get rid of them, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in your heart.
"Going back to the king, there is nothing good for the time being!"
"However, this can be regarded as allowing the king to thoroughly see the true colors of these people!"
"The names of those government offices that participated have been recorded by the minister!"
"These people, the king can put them in the list that will never be promoted!"
"Then slowly replace them with the king's own people!"
"Given time, these people will soon be wiped out!"
"By then, it won't be that easy for them to resist the king on such a large scale!"
Lu Su explained with a smile on his face.
"Well, what Zijing said is reasonable, it is indeed a solution!"
"But the losses of those common people should be compensated in this way?"
"This will definitely have an extremely bad impact on my king's rule!"
Sun Quan sighed, now he could only take one step at a time.
As it is now, those gentry seem to have gained some upper hand, but Sun Quan can be regarded as seeing their true colors clearly, they are a group of really unreliable people.
"The loss of the people may as well temporarily exempt the taxes of the people!"
"Let the people not make things worse!"
"Although this will cause a certain loss to the King's tax revenue!"
"But with the current tax, the impact will not be too huge!"
"Also, your majesty might as well add a new tax, that is, for those with an income of more than [-], an additional personal tax will be added, so as to prevent the funds from being controlled by those big aristocratic families!"
"Those big families have already made a lot of money. I believe that even if they are dissatisfied, they will definitely not dare to object when the king is so angry!"
"In this way, the king's previous losses have been made up for."
Lu Su said with a smile.
"Okay, this method is good!"
"Those gentry have earned so much, it is right to charge them a little personal tax!"
"If they dare to resist, I will tear down all their billboards!"
Sun Quan nodded.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After the matter was properly handled, Sun Quan's smile returned to his face.
In his heart, he also began to feel a little afraid of Jiang Chen's methods.
Just by moving their fingers, they can already make them flustered, and the whole territory is about to lose control.
It seems that in terms of economic confrontation, there is indeed a big gap between them and Jiang Chen.
I don't know what's going on with brother Xuande!
Sun Quan sighed and wondered if he should go see Liu Bei.
The two of them can be said to be sympathetic to each other now. In the past, relying on Zhou Yu, he could still laugh at the down-and-out Liu Bei.
Now, the two of them are fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, and the situation of the two of them, under Jiang Chen's persecution, seems to be extremely difficult. In front of Jiang Chen, they deeply realized what is called powerlessness.
"Come here, prepare the car, this king is going out to Brother Xuande's territory for a walk!"
"Let's relax, it's really annoying to be here!"
A few hours later, Sun Quan summoned all those officials in his palace, and then yelled at them, with the urge to cut them all down.
Facing Sun Quan with a knife on their necks, many ministers felt their thighs tremble.
Some even peed their pants in fright. Today's Sun Quan is really terrible.
However, Sun Quan did not cut them all down in the end, but set a personal tax for them, and the amount of personal tax was not high.
Under the threat of their lives, those ministers also nodded their heads, and immediately agreed to Sun Quan's request.
Compared with my own life, that little personal tax is simply a drop in the bucket.
They were grateful and escaped from the palace as if they were pardoned.
After they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they immediately realized that they had been tricked by Sun Quan. It seemed that they had made such a big commotion this time.
Not only did he not take advantage of it, but he also angered Sun Quan.
Really thankless.
They were completely defeated this time, but there was nothing they could do. Since they had agreed, they had to do it, otherwise, Sun Quan would definitely take action on them.
No one wants to be that chicken that was killed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After achieving his goal, Sun Quan also left his palace contentedly.
He planned to visit Liu Bei's territory.
I want to see if Liu Bei has a worse life than him.
People have this kind of comparison psychology. When they see someone living worse than them, they will get a little balance in their hearts.
Even someone like Sun Quan would inevitably have such thoughts.
He was even thinking that if Jiang Chen didn't beat him, it wouldn't be bad for him to be a King of Wu.
He also stopped thinking about the idea of dominating the world, it was too dangerous, and he couldn't get any benefits at all.
Now he has few men and horses in his hands, and he doesn't have any famous generals, so it can be said that his vitality has been seriously injured.
Veterans like Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, etc., have all left Jiangdong and followed Zhou Yu.

Inside Liu Bei's Palace
This place looks a lot simpler. It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a remodel of the original city lord's mansion.
Liu Bei didn't have that much money to build the palace, and his strength didn't allow it.
For his own great plan, he must save every penny and use it to develop economic and military strength.
"My lord, please see King Wu!"
On this day, Liu Bei was dealing with official business here, when suddenly an eunuch came in to report.
"King Wu? Please!"
Upon hearing Sun Quan's arrival, Liu Bei immediately stood up and ran outside with a face of joy, as if he had met his biological father.
"So it's Brother Zhongmou, Beidu has been looking forward to it for a long time!"
"Hurry up please!"
"The arrival of the King of Wu is truly magnificent!"
Liu Bei took Sun Quan's hand with a smile on his face, looking extremely enthusiastic.
