Donglu City did not become depressed because of the continuous snowstorms, nearly a month, the carriages in and out of the city were endless, post stations, inns, restaurants, but all the places that could stay were full of visitors from all over the world, and the business was surprisingly good, so that these bosses were laughing when they slept.

Donglu City is the border city of South Suri, outside the city is 100,000 iron-blooded border army, the west camp is shrouded in the atmosphere of slaughter all day long, few people dare to approach, tens of thousands of standing troops in the city patrol in the city day and night, these soldiers are full of murderous faces, their eyes are full of anger, everyone looks like a spy, the atmosphere in the city is extremely depressing, people must always be cautious when walking and talking, a little careless, it will be a catastrophe.

Such a depressing, mentally broken city, I am afraid that any business will be depressed, before Zhang Xian served as the city lord, there were only a few shops with very deep backgrounds in this border city, which were barely maintained.

However, after the lord of Zhang Cheng sat in Donglu City, this oppressive atmosphere gradually changed, and suddenly one day, people felt that the shops on both sides of the main streets in the city were booming.

After a period of time, the local tyrants in the city observed that most of the hundreds of newly opened shop owners were not locals, speaking in a southern tone, with different clothes and ornaments, and the goods they operated were dazzling, which was not inferior to Wangcheng.

"This new city lord is amazing!"

The people of Donglu City sighed.

The store is open, the goods are complete, and the small Donglu people alone are not enough to support the circulation of goods, but the people of Donglu City found that the strangers coming and going in the city suddenly increased, riding horses, carrying burdens, and sitting in an endless stream of luxury carriages, what Chu country, Wuwei country, Nanban country, Bashu country, Great Qin country, overseas island countries and so on... The big families of the vassal states, the merchant armor all appeared in Donglu City, and the major Jianghu characters also appeared here.

For a time, Donglu City was surprisingly prosperous.

How did this small border city suddenly blossom and commerce flourished?

Zhang Xian, the city lord, played a decisive role, but it was able to operate to such an extent thanks to the plans of Li Wenhui, Chen Gongwei and others.

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, the foundation of the country, this is the iron law of the vassal states.

However, Zhang Xian, who was recuperating from his injuries, believed that 'heavy agriculture and suppression of business' not only hurt the small peasant economy, but also stifled private industry and commerce, blocked the benign interaction between the two, and the commodity money economy was active, and the state fiscal revenue was also greatly supplemented from commercial taxes, that is, heavy agriculture and heavy commerce, although the two would conflict because of this, and commercial prosperity would have an impact on agriculture, but the good regulation and control would be beneficial to both.

Li Wenhui and others believed that it would be better for business to be controlled by the government, but after Zhang Xian explained the pros and cons, Li Wenhui and others decided to support Zhang Xian, which could be used as an attempt.

Li Wenhui started as a businessman, although he is a little disgusted with business, but he is definitely an expert in business operations, and Su Yuanxi is also an expert, although Chen Gongwei does not like to do business, but his ability to plan is extraordinary.

After Li Wenhui and Chen Gongwei completed the planning, they took the Taoyuan Shogunate and others to Heze City, leaving Su Yuanxi to implement this business plan.

The business of Donglu City can rise so rapidly because Chen Gongwei used those people who were captured in Wangfu Mountain, these are all offerings of some vassal states, elites of major clans, inner disciples of Jianghu sects, etc., Chen Gongwei's conditions are two, take money to ransom people, or rent a shop in Donglu City and operate it for three months.

Most people have chosen the latter, and they will be free to do business in Donglu City for three months, which is much more affordable than taking money to ransom people, isn't it just three months, and it will be over quite well, even if you lose your capital, you won't be able to go anywhere.

In fact, this is a set of Chen Gongwei, three months is not long, but it works well, if they get the sweetness of the three-month transaction, they will not leave when the time comes.

So how to operate so that they will not be profitable? Then Li Wenhui's chamber of commerce secretly supported, the most important thing is that Zhang Xian came up with a lot of coveted, but difficult to get treasures as a gimmick, the auction house of the Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce settled in Donglu City, and an unprecedented grand auction was held in Donglu City, this news caused a huge sensation in the East Continent in less than half a month, so there was a rush in Donglu City.

Of course, there are also people who come to Donglu City to rob people, but the White Wolf King and Boiled Cheng showed their faces, and a few people were wasted, and no one dared to twist the tiger's whiskers anymore.

Zhang Xian never showed up, and the external propaganda was almost abolished by the Great Elder, and he never recovered.

In fact, Zhang Xian had secretly come to Heze City.

"Has the grain promised by King Chu Wei ever been honored?"

Zhang Xianxian is most worried about food, and the food of hundreds of thousands of people for the winter is now the most important thing.

"About 100,000 stones have been delivered, and the rest of the Chu Wei King promised to be delivered within a month. ”

Food is also the most locked up by Liu Yong, the main general, so he mainly grasped the matter of grain, and when he handed over the grain for the first time, because General Song Xin, who was responsible for handing over the grain in Chu State, was adulterated, he was beaten by Liu Yong, which almost caused a big battle between the two armies, but fortunately, the edict of King Chu Wei came in time and made Song Xin be beaten in vain.

"Although King Chu Wei is an old fox and not a trustworthy person, he will not make a hindrance in this matter, but that Song Xin can be on guard. ”

King Chu Wei promised to give Zhang Xian 300,000 stone grain, although the so-called agreement constraints did not play a big role, but the current situation of King Chu Wei is not good, and he gave up the land of the two cities to Zhang Xian, one is to use Zhang Xian's power to show him the west gate, and the other is that he wants to gather the army and prepare to come to the spring to quell the rebellion, so he will not quarrel with Zhang Xian now, and the people of the two cities are still the people of Chu, and more than half of the 300,000 stone grain is distributed to the people for the winter.

"This Song Xin is really difficult to entangle, he guards the Luoyan Gorge Fortress, this is the only way to the king of Chu to go to Beijing, he wants to put the horizontal jam, not only can we not receive the 200,000 stone grain, but even the trade route to Shangjing is cut off. ”

Not long ago, Liu Yong took people to receive grain, in front of the Luoyanxia Fortress, because Song Xin replaced half of the 100,000 stone new grain with the old grain stored in the Luoyanxia Fortress, trying to get through the customs in confusion, but was discovered by Liu Yong, the negotiation failed, the two fought, although Song Xin is also a saint master cultivator, but not as brave as Liu Yong, the result was Liu Yong crazy, and finally developed into a confrontation between the two armies, a tense situation, the two armies confronted each other for nearly a day, seeing that the situation was out of control, just before the sun set, the envoy sent by King Chu Wei arrived, under the suppression of King Chuwei's edict, Song Xin was very reluctant to return the new grain, but Liu Yong did not return 500,000 old grain, which is Song Xin's compensation for them, Liu Yong's arrogance made Song Xin thunderous, if it wasn't for the envoy to suppress it, the two almost did it again.

"Haha... You made Song Xin suffer such a big loss, which can be regarded as completely offending him. ”

Zhang Xian smiled, but he didn't blame Liu Yong.

"Ahem... Hey... But what if he really wants to let go?" Liu Yong said embarrassedly, although he felt that he had done nothing wrong, but in this extraordinary period, he was a little unbearable and planned to make a big plan.

"Keep beating him. ”

"Ugh!!"

Liu Yong was stunned.

"Don't you think what Song Xin did was a bit weird?"

"Oh..."Liu Yong frowned, and suddenly realized: "Childe is saying that Song Xin's exchange of grain was instructed by someone?"

"I asked you to give something to King Chu Wei, can you exchange the thing privately?"

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

"King Chu Wei is careful, he doesn't really want to trade in the old to fool us, the first is to disgust us in turn, it can be regarded as revenge on me, this is his careful thinking, a bit like a child's vindictiveness, the second purpose is to test us, if you were soft at the time, then it is possible that he gave us all the old grain later. ”

"Hehe... This King of Chu Wei. Liu Yong Waner, but he was also glad that he did not give in at that time.

"As for the trade route, Song Xin didn't have the courage to cut it off, because Chu State also urgently needed to revitalize commerce, King Chu Wei wanted to quell the rebellion, he needed a lot of financial support, the source of property was not only agriculture and labor, that is, commercial taxes, he would not cut off the financial route, and he needed a lot of iron ore, and more than half of the source of iron ore is from us, so in the last year or two, he will not turn against us, to put it bluntly, we are now leasing his two cities, but it is inevitable that Song Xin wants to add some blockage to us. ”

"Newspaper .... Song Xin detained two truckloads of our goods, saying that there were contraband. ”

"Look, isn't this coming....."
