Zhen Yao is also a smart person, and after understanding what Liu Zheng meant, he waved his hand.

"Go down first."

"Yes, Third Master."

After those servants heard Zhen Yao's words, they immediately withdrew from the living room one after another.

After the servants left the living room, Liu Zheng raised the teacup in his hand.

glanced at Zhen Yao, and then lowered his voice a little.

"Brother Zhen Yao, in fact, I came to Wuji County this time, although it was to purchase some horses, but I also have another idea, that is, to come and meet the people of your Zhen family."

"Oh? Brother Mi is also here to find our Zhen family, is there something wrong? ”

"Brother Zhen should understand that my Mi family's business has always been in the south, mainly in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places, although I have the intention to get involved in the northern market, but the north has not been in the hands of His Majesty Liu Zheng, the territory of the Yuan family, and it is not easy for our Mi family's caravan to enter here."

"So we want to find business families in the north to cooperate, make money together, and make a fortune together."

Although Liu Zheng's purpose in coming to Jizhou was to win over these Jizhou families and disrupt the situation in Jizhou, he did not have a special understanding of the situation in Jizhou.

can only grasp the situation of the Zhen family and others with a little temptation.

"Brother Mi intends to cooperate with our Zhen family?"

As soon as Zhen Yao heard Liu Zheng's words, he immediately showed a hint of surprise, and he invited Liu Zheng to come to the Zhen family's dock fort, just to ask Liu Zheng about the situation in the south.

Their Zhen family has been doing business in the north, the population base in the north is not large, and the business is not the only one in their Zhen family, and the Su family, the Zhang family and other families have grabbed a part of the market.

Therefore, in order to expand the Zhen family's industry, Zhen Yao has always wanted to do business in the south, but the difference between the north and the south is obvious, and now it belongs to different princes, and the tariffs on each checkpoint alone are not a small amount.

What's more, once the ruler knows that they are caravans from different princes, it is not easy to do something, and it is easy to be caught as a spy.

But if the Zhen family cooperates with the Mi family, it will not be a problem, the Mi family can be said to be the absolute commercial overlord under Liu Zheng, and the Zhen family only needs to resell all the goods to the Mi family to obtain a part of the profits, and then they don't have to worry about other things.

In this way, the risk becomes much smaller, and although the profit is also less, as long as you can make enough profit from it, it can still be compensated for over time.

So hearing Liu Zheng say this, Zhen Yao actually agreed very much in his heart.

"I really intend to cooperate with the Zhen family, after all, the things you and I operate are not in conflict, and I can sell tea, silk, ceramics and other items from the south to the north. And your Zhen family can also use the rock mass in the north and the war horse. Cattle and sheep were sold to the south. ”

"Mutual benefit, both you and I are beneficial."

If it is really according to what Liu Zheng said.

You can earn thousands of gold in one trade, how can such a transaction not make Zhen Yao excited?

Not to mention Zhen Yao, even if Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, heard Liu Zheng's words at this moment, he was very interested in the fact that the Mi family and the Zhen family worked together.

"Brother Mi is serious, in fact, I invited Brother Mi to come to Zhen's house as a guest, and I also wanted to talk to Brother Mi to see if there is any possibility for you and me to cooperate to make money and make a fortune."

"It's just that before I can say it, Brother Mi has already brought it up first."

Zhen Yao was worried about raising food at this time, if what Liu Zheng said was true. Then it is very likely that they can transport a large amount of grain and grass from the south through Liu Zheng.

In this way, they can solve the immediate need.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Zhen Yao became more and more interested, and began to carefully discuss with Liu Zheng what this cooperation could bring to both parties.

Of course, this is mainly Zhen Yao saying that Liu Zheng is listening to it, after all, Zhen Yao also wants to persuade Liu Zheng to facilitate this matter together.

Compared with the Mi family, who wants to expand their business means to the north, Zhen Yao wants to sell things from the north to the south.

Of course, when the Mi family and Liu Zheng were still discussing whether to cooperate, an uninvited guest came outside the Mi family's dock fort.

Yuan Xi, the current lord of Jizhou, rode a war horse, accompanied by these cronies, and came here.

Yuan Xi is now the de facto controller of the entire Youzhou and most of Jizhou, although compared to his eldest brother Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi's subordinates do not have elite soldiers. Most of the generals under his command rely on the generals of the Karasuma people.

Compared with his third brother Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi did not have a large number of advisers to assist.

But Yuan Xi has the advantage of his Yuan Xi, Wenchen is assisted by Tian Feng, and the military generals have a large number of military generals of the Karasuma people, and they are decent. Compared with it, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are superior.

This allowed Yuan Xi to defeat Yuan Tan in a short period of time and occupy most of Jizhou.

However, Yuan Xi has encountered a little difficulty recently, last winter, the harvest in Youzhou was not good, and many tribes of the Karasuma people lacked food. Yuan Xi distributed all the grain he had under his command to these Karasuma people.

But it was precisely because of this that he was embraced by the Karasuma people.

to allow him to gain some advantages in the battle with Yuan Tan.

However, after spring ploughing, the little grain and grass left under his command was exhausted.

There is an urgent shortage of food and grass.

As a last resort, he could only ask for food from the big families near Jizhou.

A few days ago, he had already sent someone to Wuji County and told the people of the Zhen family, and now he has personally visited and urged him.

First, he wanted to win over the relationship with the Zhen family, and secondly, he also wanted to urge the Zhen family to raise the food they wanted as soon as possible.

In order to show friendship, this time Yuan Xi personally visited the door and did not bring a large army. It's just that he brought a few of his cronies.

Then Tian Feng will accompany him, so that he can have a good chat with the people of the Zhen family.

When Yuan Xi came to the outside of the Zhen family's dock fort, he happened to see several little girls from the Zhen family who came out of the dock fort.

These little girls are naturally Zhen Yao's sisters.

They heard that Zhen Yao got some horses from the Su family, so they thought about practicing horse riding, and just asked for a few ponies from Zhen Yan's hands, so they planned to practice outside the dock fort, who knows, they saw Yuan Xi approaching from the outside.

Yuan Xi's gaze fell on these young girls, and there was a hint of lewdness in his eyes, especially moved by the appearance of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Yuan Xi immediately stepped forward.

"A few girls, this is Zhenjiawu Fort?"
