Chapter 452: The means lead to heaven

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Looking at this young man who claimed to be a businessman, not only did Gao Baoxu be impressed, but even the original envoy Gao Yanhui had to think carefully.

Is he really just a businessman?

Whether it is from the bearing and demeanor, or this calm feeling, it makes people have an illusion.

If he didn't know Wei Qi, Gao Baoxu would naturally not believe it so easily. But it was because of Wei Qi that I knew that this Lei Zhenzi was indeed Wei Qi's hair back then. Although he was born in a family of merchants, he has traveled north and south since he was a child, not only has a rich life experience, but also has a very good understanding of all parts of the world.

In this era of frequent wars, this kind of businessman who travels the world is often the object of the local government's desire to win over.

Because this kind of businessman often has a unique vision, and even has huge financial resources. The most important thing is that they walk the world and know even more about the states under heaven than the local officials and generals. This is arguably the best living map in extraordinary times, especially in wartime.

So if you think about it deeply, the extent to which these merchants can be used is huge. Therefore, as a descendant of the Gao family in Jingnan, although Gao Baoxu has no real power, he still has this vision. So when Wei Qi said that he wanted to introduce Lei Zhenzi to himself, Gao Baoxu, who already likes to make friends, readily agreed.

At this time, when I heard Lei Zhenzi's words, I naturally had more understanding in my heart. Although he didn't go south and north, he rarely even went out to Jingnan's territory. But I also know that businessmen like Lei Zhenzi, when they usually travel to various states, without the support of the feudal towns, it is indeed difficult for them to walk the world.

Because along the way, either the goods will be swallowed up by the feudal towns, or they will be occupied by bandits along the way, which is inevitable today. Good hopes can go to wealth and avoid disasters, but miserable often leave even their lives.

Therefore, the merchants of the cross-border state capital in this era are either powerful and lead enough bodyguards to protect themselves. Of course, it must not threaten the local regime, otherwise it will be regarded as a threat.

Either there must be extreme measures that make the feudal towns everywhere look sideways. The means of this are nothing more than money and eyesight, money is naturally the money to buy roads and taxes, and the eyesight is naturally that they will sell or even provide some intelligence information.

The convenience and supernatural powers of this merchant can be said to be extremely subtle in this era. In particular, some of the neighboring hostile forces. If a businessman wants to do business across borders, he or she does not have sufficient rights to do so, and it is generally impossible to have a smooth ride.

But the world's businessmen are still in business!

This illustrates a problem, they can freely walk the state capitals of the world, and naturally they have their own extraordinary means!

This kind of means in this period, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a means to the sky!

Jingnan is a special place, not only the big businessmen from all over the state capital gathered, but also the local businessmen of Jingnan, but also because of the special geographical location of Jingnan, and the rise near Jiangling Mansion.

Goods from all over the world will be found in Jingnan, which is thanks to the special nature of Jingnan. This small middle ground is not just a golden triangle. Because there are not only people in charge here, but they are also very well managed.

It is not only a place where businessmen from all the state capitals of the world gather, but also a middle ground for businessmen from all the state capitals of the world. The prosperity of Gangneung Province can be said without hesitation to come from the merchants of the world.

Therefore, although Jingnan will inevitably loot the envoys from all over the world, he is very tolerant of these businessmen who walk the world. Therefore, today's Gangneung Mansion is not only very prosperous, but also has received information from merchants from all over the world.

Because from the Central Plains, if you go south to Lingnan, in this era, the only way to go through Jingnan is to go to Chudi, which is the most important way. And this friendly mission, if you want to go to Lingnan quickly, now it is clear that you can only go to Jingnan to enter the Chu realm.

Moreover, Jingnan surrendered to the Central Plains, and Chudi was also canonized by the Central Plains, which is a clear and feasible path. So as long as these forces don't get dizzy, they shouldn't embarrass the Central Plains team. However, Jingnan is still peaceful now, but since the Ma family withdrew, it can be said that Chu Jing has been in turmoil.

From the initial Southern Tang Dynasty to the division of the barbarians in Chuxi. Later, when Liu Yan and Wang Jinkui's warlords were in power, and even today's Zhou Xingfeng is alone, it can be said that Chu Di is already ten rooms and nine empty.

The ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Chudi, and there are no people for a hundred miles, this is not a lie.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were nearly 500,000 households in Chu, and in recent years, there were only 80,000 or 90,000 households in the entire territory of Chu. Moreover, most of these populations are still concentrated in Langzhou, Tanzhou, Hengzhou and Yongzhou, of course, the most important population is in Langzhou and Tanzhou, so many places in Chu actually have no population.

The reason why Jingnan is so awesome is that Jingnan, which is only in the land of three states, has half the population of Chudi. As Jingnan, which connects the north and the south, naturally knows some of the conditions of his neighbor.

Zhou Xingfeng, who had just seized power and occupied Chu, although he had the heart to cheer up Chudi. Unfortunately, Chuxi has been completely separated, and he can no longer be unified. And then the rest of the state capitals in Chudi, there are really not many that he can actually master. In addition, it is sparsely populated, so what can really be controlled in Chu now is actually only near Langzhou.

Whether it is Langzhou, which he occupies, or Tanzhou, which he governs, what he really controls is not 100%. And Hengzhou and Yongzhou under their names, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are already Zhang Wenbiao's territory. Although Zhou Xingfeng has his own extraordinary means, everyone understands the truth that the emperor is far away.

Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that there is no one in Chu, so it is desolate everywhere, which naturally attracts bandits and occupies the mountains everywhere. Therefore, whether it is a merchant or a feudal town, when passing by a certain state capital, you must be careful to avoid the local bandits.

So when he heard Lei Zhenzi's words, not only Gao Baoxu was surprised, but Gao Yanhui was even more nervous. Now I have to pass through Jingnan, and then I have to take the road to Chudi. So these two places that are closely related are naturally inseparable from each other.

The Central Plains is now very powerful on the surface, but when it comes to other feudal towns, whether people sell face or not is another matter. Of course, especially a small team was also sent, you must know that with this team alone, I am afraid that in the state capital with few people in Chudi, it is enough to sweep all the way.

So now everyone is worried, which is also the premise, I hope that this team of relatives will not threaten the local power territory!
