The south of Poyang City, beside the Poshui River, the freight terminal is busy, countless cargo is loading and unloading, a large number of ships are docking or offshore, and people are coming in and out, bustling.

Next to the dock are rows of residences, with shopkeepers and friends talking to the merchants, bargaining, ordering, and picking up the goods.

After more than ten years of development, Poyang, Raozhou has become increasingly prosperous. Goods from all over the world gather here, bringing huge profits, as well as more and more merchants and popularity.

The porcelain from Xinping, the copper from the Nanpo Water Ri'an is the most famous "specialty" in Raozhou, but now there are many more "specialty".

Fish hooks, nails, and needles are Poyang's "special products". Because of the high demand, small profits and quick turnover, both big merchants and peddlers can make money by relying on these small hooks, needles and nails.

There is also the increasingly famous "Poyang Paper", which is becoming more and more popular in various places. Therefore, the paper and paper products in Poyang have become the third "popular product" in addition to Xinping porcelain and Le'an copper.

On the second floor of a residence, Li Xin, who was boarding the boat, sat at the window, looking at the lively pier outside the window and the content recorded in the information in his hand, and was deeply moved.

Meal paper, toilet paper, and many other paper products have finally opened up sales, which is not easy.

Various paper products have opened up sales, allowing papermaking workshops in various places in Poyang to make a lot of money and orders pile up, which can make the workshops busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

The huge demand for raw bamboo in papermaking has also benefited many people. My uncle’s ‘industrial planning’ many years ago has finally been initially realized.

Li Xin withdrew her gaze, put down the information, and looked at the box of paper on the table.

The paper is mainly used for hand wiping or various wiping. Li Xin reached out and pulled out one piece, and saw that the paper was square, the size of a palm, the color was light yellow, soft and delicate, and the water absorption was good.

When used to wipe hands, you can wipe water and oil stains cleanly (relatively speaking), the box containing the meal paper is a paper box, and the paper used is a solid thick paper.

Such a box of paper is not expensive, at least for families with wealthy families.

It is precisely because of its good quality, low price and convenience and easy to use that after years of promotion, the reputation of meal paper has gradually become popular and the demand has become increasingly greater.

The same is true for toilet paper. As a substitute for toilet chips, sales have increased year by year because of the quality.

These paper products cost money, and ordinary people are not willing to use them, but they do not hinder the sales volume from the beginning, because from the very beginning, the "customer positioning" of these paper products was not ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Li Xin became more and more impressed by his uncle. With his unique vision and arrangement, he turned papermaking (using bamboo as raw materials to make paper) into a money tree-like industry.

He does not eat alone, and sells the papermaking technology of bamboo paper appropriately, so that more and more participants in the papermaking industry will be added and the scale of the industry will be quickly developed.

According to his uncle's arrangement, Li Xin participated in the management of papermaking workshops and was responsible for the "promotion" and "sales" of paper products. Over the years, he received great training.

I have learned how to manage people, how to employ people, and how to deal with all kinds of people.

I learned to "control my emotions", and learned to smile but not laugh. Even if I was so angry that I wanted to hit someone, I still smiled on my face and talked and laughed with others.

I learned how to organize and stabilize a "team". In this team, members can use their strengths to play their strengths. After encountering problems, they can brainstorm and analyze, propose solutions, and then implement them.

The reason why I learn these is not only to manage the workplace, but also to prepare for leading troops to fight in the future.

Because my uncle said that leading troops to fight is the same as leading people to do things.

Leading a troops is to manage a team.

When fighting, it means fighting against opponents. You must not only fight courage, but also wits.

Fighting wits with the enemy's chief general is the same as fighting wits with all kinds of tyrant businessmen. You have to think about the other party's ideas and then deal with them.

It’s nothing more than losing money when dealing with others when dealing with others, but losing money when fighting, being plotted against by your opponent and giving your life.

If you don’t think about it when fighting, you will be a fighting general at most, a hawk or a dog.

Li Xin has been deeply touched by this recently, which originated from a key battle last fall by his uncle.

That day, my uncle had just fought a fierce battle, but as the battle ended, and when the soldiers were exhausted, thousands of enemy cavalry appeared.

Thousands of cavalry were enough to annihilate tens of thousands of infantry. Seeing the situation taking a sharp turn, the chances of winning were very small. Even if they won, they would only be a miserable victory. Uncle adapted to the situation.

By deliberately indulging the prisoners to escape, let the other party know that the "Li thief" who was offered a reward for the king of Qi was in the army. So in order to prevent the "Li thief" from breaking through, the other party chose to strengthen the siege and set up a siege on the periphery.

So, the soldiers on his side got a precious half-day rest and recovered their physical strength. Then they relied on barbed wire to defeat the enemy and killed the commander.

It can be said that this is a typical battle of wits, judging the other party’s ideas and using them, successfully delaying time, and changing the situation of the battle in a direction that is beneficial to oneself.

Li Xin sincerely admires his uncle's ability to plot against others. He has always hoped to have the opportunity to lead troops to fight, gallop on the battlefield, fight wits and courage with the enemy, and make achievements.

However, due to various reasons, it is not possible to do what you want.

Although there is some regret in this, Li Xin still quite understands it. After all, someone in Poyang needs to guard the family business, and his friend Liang Miao also has to stay in Poyang because he wants to guard the family business.

However, they were not idle and tried to exercise their abilities, but they didn't know when they would have the chance to go to the battlefield.

The followers came to report that the ship was ready. Li Xin collected the information, left the residence and walked towards the dock.

I was about to board the ship, but I heard a lot of discussion around me. After listening carefully, there was a news coming:

The court negotiated with Zhou, exchanged prisoners, and stopped each other's troops. It seemed that they wanted to deal with Qi together.

......

Above the river, near the river near the city of Fengcheng, a fleet of considerable size sailed eastward. Because it was smooth sailing, it was quite fast.

On one of the ships, in the cabin, the Prince of Nanjun Xiao Dalian looked at the river view outside the window and remembered more than a year ago.

At that time, his fleet sailed on the river in a mighty manner and headed downstream to Jiankang.

At that time, his father was assassinated and his brother was seriously injured. The situation in Taicheng was changing. Xiao Dalian, who was in Jingzhou, made a quick decision and without waiting for the imperial edict, he led his troops to the capital.

The throne cannot be empty, but if a young nephew sits in that position, the country will inevitably be unstable. Therefore, Xiao Dalian, the younger brother of the crown prince, felt that he needed to stand up.

Brothers finally come to me and take over the important task.

As a result, no one in Jiankang City responded to him, so he suddenly attacked the sandbank in the middle of the river and was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, someone secretly helped him and dealt with him, so he was able to escape and return to Jingzhou.

The throne was still the young nephew, and the poor-minded powerful people pushed the country to the edge of the cliff.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dalian felt upset. This time he resigned as the governor of Jingzhou and returned to Beijing as an official, so he returned home with dignity.

When I traveled with me, there were some guests with unusual identities.

Those were some people who had just returned from the Zhou Kingdom, including the princes of Wuling King who were captured after the fall of Shu and some royal families. Now they were able to return to Liang Kingdom because the two countries stopped their troops and exchanged prisoners.

It just so happened that he was going to return to Jiankang, so these royal families took a sailboat.

Among them, there is the governor of Liangzhou, Xiao Xiu, the Marquis of Yifeng. This person is the younger brother of Xiao Fan, the King of Poyang. By generation, he is Xiao Dalian's cousin.

Xiao Dalian frowned as he thought about it.

Last autumn, the official army defeated the Qi army in Huaibei. The Qi army suffered heavy casualties and the commander was killed. The news quickly reached Zhou State, so Zhou State sent envoys to seek peace, hoping to deal with Qi State together.

Since we have asked for peace, we must be sincere, but the other party does not intend to hand over the profits of the invasion, but intends to exchange prisoners, and hopes that the two countries will recognize the facts:

The State of Zhou acknowledged the fact that Liang had occupied the land north of Mianyang, so the State of Liang had to admit that Zhou had occupied the land of Liang.

The two countries maintained the status quo, stopped their troops and dealt with Qi together.

The court had different opinions on this peace talks, but in the end the court decided to dismiss the army with Zhou State, maintain the status quo, exchange prisoners, and deal with Qi State together.

Among them, Xiao Fan, the king of Poyang who was assisting in government affairs, was the one who strongly advocated peace talks.

Xiao Dalian did not agree with this result. Anyway, the court is unable to recover the profits at present, and Liang and Zhou are unable to regain Mianbei, so it is nothing to maintain the status quo.

It is reasonable to exchange prisoners and let the captured Liang soldiers and royal families return to their country.

However, Xiao Dalian judged from the return of Xiao Xiu, the Marquis of Yifeng, that Xiao Fan, King of Poyang, had other plans.

The Poyang King is a strong family. Xiao Fan has nearly forty younger brothers, but only a few of them have a prominent position. Now they are all appointed. In addition, Xiao Xiu, the Marquis of Yifeng who has returned...

Xiao Dalian believes that there is another accomplice of King Poyang, because most of the younger brothers of King Poyang are difficult to bear heavy responsibilities.

Among the younger brothers of King Poyang, Xiao Tui, the Marquis of Xiangtan, Xiao Yong, the Marquis of Guanning, and Xiao Tai, the Marquis of Fengcheng, are all mediocre talents and cannot be supported by the mud.

Wulin Hou Xiao Zi was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou more than ten years ago. As a result, he could only plunder the people's wealth and ointment, causing the local tyrants to rebel, but could not stabilize the situation, unable to quell the rebellion, and fled in a panic, leading to chaos in Jiaozhou.

Xiao Tian, ​​the Marquis of Nan'an, poisoned the successor Lan Qin because of his personal grudges. He was also a vicious person with no talent and no virtue.

The younger brothers were either incompetent or made big mistakes and had a bad reputation, so Xiao Fan, who was assisting the government, was unable to make great use of it.

Then, among his brothers, only Xiao Xiu, the Marquis of Yifeng, who has a good reputation and good ability.

Xiao Xiu, the Marquis of Yifeng, died when he was young. He escorted the coffin back to Beijing from Jingzhou. When he encountered great storms in the river, he saw that the boat was about to sink, and the entourage fled one after another.

Xiao Xiu cried with the coffin in his arms and refused to leave. It is said that filial piety moved the world and the wind and waves calmed down.

For this matter, Emperor Gaozu commended Xiao Xiu and listed him as a model of the royal family.

Later, Xiao Xiu became an official for many years, had outstanding political achievements and good reputation. When he was the governor of Liangzhou, he encountered the Wei army (Western Wei) attacking him. Because reinforcements were cut off, he could not defeat the Wei army. In order to protect the city's military officers and the people, he opened the city to surrender.

Although he lost Liangzhou and became a prisoner, Xiao Xiu's move did not hinder the great ritual.

Therefore, Xiao Dalian believes that Xiao Fan exchanged his younger brother Xiao Xiu back, and his motives were impure, so he would definitely be led as his left arm and right arm in order to better control the power.

In response to this, Xiao Dalian was one hundred dissatisfied with it. King Poyang was not an imperial clan, but he was in charge of the power of regent. As the uncles of the little emperor, they were excluded. What is this?

Even if the elders of the royal family should be used to assist in the administration, they should be the King of Xiangdong, not the King of Poyang.

Xiao Dalian became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but clench his fists. Recently, he had some evidence, which seemed to prove that the incident of the Jiankang Lantern Festival at the beginning of last year was the father and son of the King of Poyang.

Instead of the three brothers Xiao Dong, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Huan who are in the eldest son of Zhaoming.

The incident happened on the night of the Lantern Festival, and the royal family members such as Xiao Dacheng of Guiyang were killed, and someone was implicated and lost their lives.

At that time, it was said that the envoy behind the scenes was Xiao Dong, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Hua, who were from the eldest son of the Prince Zhaoming, but the three of them refused to plead guilty and claimed that they were framed.

But in the end, the three of them could not escape death. Xiao Dalian thought the case was a bit strange at the time. Now he thought, it must be the secretly in which the King of Poyang and his son were involved.

He judged the other party's idea: he intended to eliminate dissidents, control the government, and then...

With a "bang", Xiao Dalian punched the desk and blurted out: "Don't think about it, you, father and son, don't think about it!"
