After defeating Helian and establishing his prestige, Guo Peng's status was also recognized by the Kasuma people who moved inside.

They sent envoys one after another to make friends, and the Hu people in the entire Youzhou were quite afraid of Guo Peng.

On this basis, Guo Peng and the members of the sect reported to the imperial court, asking for the opening of the Hu City in Ningxian County, and trading with the Hu people such as the Karasuma Xiongnu to subsidize Youzhou.

Hu City in Ning County, Shanggu County was often opened by the Eastern Han Dynasty government a long time ago.

In peacetime, as long as there is no war in the frontier, the Han government is also willing to open the Hu City to trade with the Hu people, so that the money can subsidize the use of Youzhou.

Because Youzhou is too poor and chaotic, it often needs the financial support of Jizhou and Qingzhou to survive, which makes Jizhou and Qingzhou very dissatisfied.

The chaos of the previous period of chaos interrupted the Hu market in Ningxian County for several years, and now that the border is calm, it is the time to open the Hu market.

Opening Hu City is good for many people, and it is of great benefit to both the sect members and Guo Peng.

The Hu people were under the jurisdiction of Guo Peng, and after Guo Peng gained prestige and established his status, the Karasuma Xiongnu and other major tribes were afraid of Guo Peng's reputation.

Now that Kaihu City is open, they must get Guo Peng's permission to trade, which tribe can come and which tribe can't come, it's all a matter of Guo Peng's words.

The same is true for the sect members, if the business travelers in Youzhou and even Jizhou and other places want to come to participate in the Hu market and make a profit from the Hu people's trade, it is not possible without the approval of the clan members.

Hu Shi makes money, it is the same for Hu people and Han people, take away their respective goods, go back and sell them, several times the profit, it is not good to make people red, but not everyone can come.

Therefore, if you want to do business, you must open up the upper joints.

The upper joints are Guo Peng and the two local snakes.

When the Karasuma tribe, the Xiongnu tribe and some Zahu tribes heard about this, they sent people to Ning County to see Guo Peng, hoping to get the qualification to participate in Hu City and give Guo Peng gifts.

It seems that the sect members have also received a lot of gray income.

This is how it should be, no one thinks it's wrong, if you don't accept it, people will think it's not right, are you targeting me or something.

Guo Peng happily accepted a large number of gifts from these tribes, cattle, sheep and horses, bone products, leather products, gold and silver, etc., and then obtained the voucher from Guo Peng to participate in the Hu market.

Guo Peng did not take these gains alone, but took them out to reward his meritorious subordinates, and used them to improve the life of the army, etc., the soldiers were very happy, and they trained harder.

The sect members, on the other hand, re-established relations with a group of relatively moderate pro-military tyrants through Hu Shi, improved their mutual distrust, and successfully won over some people who were willing to do things for themselves.

Of course, there are also people who are rejected by the sect members, because they have always had personal grudges with the sect members, and the sect members see that they are not happy, so they are not allowed to participate in Hu City.

This is a matter for the sect members, and Guo Peng does not interfere.

He and the clan members exchanged lists and trade contents, and together announced the convening of the Hu Market, which was limited to one month, and allowed people from all over the country to come to participate in the Hu City to go to Ning County to participate in the Hu City.

Guo Peng mobilized the army to set up the Hushi market, and set up the Hushi market at a distance from the county seat of Ningxian County to ensure that the people of Ningxian County would not be affected.

To this end, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were also sent to lead the army to guard the place and maintain order.

Then, Guo Peng sat back and waited for those wealthy businessmen who came here to participate in the Hu market to come and see him.

Having the right to have status, identity and prestige cannot do nothing, we must do well, do it well, and on the basis of social consensus, realize our identity, status, power and fame to the greatest extent.

The military exploits obtained in exchange for his life are not just a Yang Zhai Pavilion Marquis rewarded by the imperial court, and many of the things attached to it are not directly delivered to his hands, but have to be developed on his own initiative.

The first people to come to see Guo Peng were introduced by Liu Bei, and they were Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, Zhongshan horse merchants who had helped Liu Bei raise troops.

These two people knew their status and status, so they cautiously came to visit Guo Peng, and Guo Peng entertained them very warmly, talked with them cordially, and there was no contempt or blackmail in their words, which flattered them.

They did bring a lot of gifts, the most valuable is naturally the war horse, a gift is twenty, these twenty are not ordinary horses, all white horses.

Guo Peng guessed and knew that it was Liu Bei who reminded them.

Liu Bei had seen the war horse under Guo Peng's crotch and asked Guo Peng if he liked white horses, which seemed unintentional, but he didn't expect to use this place.

Is this really going to be a white horse general yourself?

Not to mention, after defeating Helian, Guo Peng went to the Karasuma tribe several times to negotiate with them and mediate the conflicts between the tribes, and they already had the understanding that "it was Captain Guo who rode the white horse".

Guo Peng took the hands of the two and told them that Hu Market would open again, as long as they were willing to come, they would come, and as long as they complied with the rules, it would be good to do business.

The two were very happy and left Guo Peng's mansion with a thousand thanks.

After that, many Han businessmen came to visit Guo Peng.

These Han merchants often did not come to buy things, but to sell things, competing with the Hu people, selling horses and other goods that were in great demand in the Central Plains.

Because of this relationship, I hope to get Guo Peng's care.

Seeing the gifts they gave, Guo Peng naturally happily agreed to take good care of them.

Merchants who came to buy things also came to visit Guo Peng, of course, they came to buy things, and their needs were different.

The main purpose of coming to meet Guo Peng was to get to know Guo Peng, with some other purposes, such as obtaining a stable market for buying horses, cattle and sheep, etc.

Guo Peng met a lot of businessmen, some of these businessmen are even in Jiangnan, they are businessmen with the surnames of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang, and he has lived in Hebei for a long time to do business.

Guo Peng has great prestige and holds the lifeblood of the Hu people's transactions, and in the eyes of these people, he is a crucial figure.

Only with Guo Peng's permission can they legally contact the Hu tribe and buy a huge amount of goods directly from the Hu people, without worrying about being seized.

Among them, Guo Peng came into contact with famous local wealthy families such as Xuzhou Mi Family, Xuzhou Chen Family, Wuji Zhen Family, etc., and they made friends with Guo Peng, gave gifts, and sought a way to buy goods.

Some of their introductions made Guo Peng realize that in fact, he could also rely on the power and cheapness he held to seek a path to prosperity for himself.

He controlled the Karasuma tribe, and the Karasuma tribe feared him and gave him a lot of horses, cattle and sheep, plus the capture of the previous war, he mastered a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, all of which were sent to graze at the foot of the Great Wall to improve their lives.

But here, these livestock are either used for food or farming, and horses can only be used for riding, but if they are sold to the Central Plains, they will change hands and make several times or even ten times the profit, and how many of the same things can be bought with this money?

Guo Peng felt that he had to adapt measures to local conditions, give full play to his own advantages, and give full play to his geographical advantages in order to obtain more wealth, so as to expand his power.

But if Guo Peng does it again, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and he doesn't have that energy, there is no reliable businessman at home, and it is also very difficult to find a market for the goods.

Moreover, in recent years, mutual vigilance and discrimination between regions have been very serious, and outsiders are absolutely unaccustomed to the water and soil.

Then the best way is to find someone to work with, to find a business with reliable sales.

Guo Peng thought about it for a while, and then decided to contact Xuzhou Mi's.
