Da Qiao, back when Sun Ce was still alive, firmly held the position of the matriarch of the Wu family. Now that Sun Ce is dead, she still has a place in the Sun family, being relied upon by the Wu matriarch and trusted by Sun Quan, the person in charge.
Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman.
She, a woman, was able to bring several men on an inspection tour, ostensibly to collect taxes and grain, inspect farming, and provide guidance on planting techniques.
In reality, it was to stabilize Sun Quan's rear.
The reason was that Sun Quan wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death.
Sun Fu didn't intend to cause any trouble with Sun Jing; he just wanted to observe quietly.
Sun Jing is toothless; all he can do is stage assassinations. He's a clown, incapable of shaking Sun Quan's foundation.
But Cao Cao was different.
Sun Fu was just waiting; if Sun Quan couldn't win, there would be more to the story.
Sun Jing tried to instigate from afar, but failed to cause any trouble.
The welcome banquets held by the Tong ethnic minority Nong Jinshan and the Han ethnic minority Li Jin proceeded as usual.
Each family clings to the coattails of its own powerful backer.
Each side thought they had already trampled the other underfoot.
At the banquet of the Tong tribe, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, and others were thoroughly pampered by the leaders and hosts with fine wine, pork, and beautiful women singing and dancing.
On Li Jin's side, handsome men and beautiful women were singing and dancing, enjoying fine wine and meat, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Back then, Li Jin's family, along with many other powerful clans, migrated to Lingnan to escape the chaos. However, taking advantage of the social unrest, they rose to power in various places, possessing territories spanning thousands of miles, more than ten thousand slaves, and a wealth of treasures.
Instead of doing good for the people, they only exploit and harm them.
Qiao Jingjing looked at the dazzling array of treasures before her.
If so, she needs to explain it clearly to the Li family first:
"We all came here seeking refuge. You have made your new homes prosperous, and the wealthy have thousands or even tens of thousands of servants. Even the Emperor's palace is no better than this. You are called local emperors, living a life far from the emperor's reach. It's just a life of leisure."
However, one thing is certain: as long as everyone can live in peace, that's fine!
I understand what you're thinking. Just get by, and stop fighting and trying to crush each other all the time!
Let's do this: for General Sun's sake, let's all let this go, back down, draw a line, and each manage our own servants.
Of course, even large and powerful families sometimes have a few disobedient members who try to stir up trouble. Therefore, it's essential to uphold strict rules and regulations.
A country has its laws, a family has its rules, and a clan has its laws.
If everyone says one thing to the outside but secretly encourages their servants to fight each other.
Not only is it unfair to General Sun, but I also don't allow you to act recklessly, based on what I see right now.
Of course, you shouldn't doubt what I'm saying.
Like Commander Lu, he would explain things clearly to the Tong tribe leader.
