A small number of these merchants were originally located in Jingzhou and Xuzhou, which were adjacent to Yangzhou, and after listening to Zhang's last words, most of the remaining people also made up their minds.

As for the merchants of other distant regions, they have scruples and waver.

Just when there was silence around him, Mi Zhu took the lead in standing up with an angry face: "I, Xuzhou Mi family, joined." The world has been in chaos, it is the time for us and other businessmen to change their humble status, since Yuan Zhoumu values us and other businessmen so much, then I will go out and follow the master of Zhoumu to fight! Fight for a future for my businessman with hundreds of millions of family wealth, Zhu is not unwilling! ”

Hearing Mi Zhu's inspiring words, the merchants below also stood up indignantly.

"That's right, to sit still is to wait for death, if you go to other people, it is better to go to Yuanzhou Mu to have a head, and my Hedong Fan family will also join!"

"My Yizhou Meng family also joined!"

The other part of the wavering businessmen saw this scene of crowd affection, and immediately couldn't sit still, and asked to join one after another.

After all, if so many businessmen have joined and don't join themselves, according to the model of the Chamber of Commerce that they just learned, they will definitely be suppressed and excluded by these people soon.

It is so logical, except for some of the stronger businessmen such as the Hedong Wei family and the Jizhou Zhen family, some of them did not join, and nearly eighty percent of the other businessmen have joined the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Yuan Shu smiled slightly in the background. Half of the money of the Han Dynasty is in the people, more than sixty percent of the money is in the family, and more than two-percent of the remaining thirty percent of the wealth is in the hands of these merchants.

The Chamber of Commerce demanded that one-third of the wealth retained by the merchants themselves be deposited in Yangzhou Qianzhuang, and Yuan Shu harvested at least three percent of the world's wealth.

But thinking about the eyes that when Mi Zhu finally stood up, he looked at him as if nothing happened, Yuan Shu's heart moved.

Xuzhou Mi Zizhong, it seems that he is indeed a character!

Think about it, this product has historically chosen to defect when Liu Bei had almost nothing, no matter what kind of promise Liu Bei gave, as a wealthy businessman, it is enough to see this person's courage to make this choice decisively.

Everyone knows the truth that strange goods can live in from Lu Buwei, the ancestor of businessmen, but not everyone has the courage to abandon high-performance stocks and choose risky potential stocks.

There were many famous people in the history of the late Han Dynasty who were good at speculation.

For example, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, when everyone thought that Yuan Shao was a top performance stock, they decisively gave up and chose Cao Cao, who had not yet made a fortune at that time.

and Zhuge Liang, when everyone thought that Liu Bei was a garbage stock, Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's potential, decisively chose Liu Bei, and finally assisted Liu Bei in establishing the Shu State, becoming the prime minister, and his name has been passed down through the ages.

When Liu Bei was the most depressed, he carried hundreds of millions of family fortunes and never gave up, and finally became a general of Anhan from a businessman, and his status at that time was even above Zhuge Liang.

It seems that my harvest this time is not only these, there is also a beautiful family waiting for me!

And there are still a small half of the businessmen who do not plan to join, including the Jizhou Zhen family and the Chen Liuwei family among the four wealthy businessmen, and Yuan Shu has already prepared.

The Jizhou Zhen family is estimated to have chosen their brother Yuan Shao, and Chen Liuwei's family must have also chosen Cao Cao.

In history, Cao Cao was able to make a fortune and Wei Jiawei made a lot of efforts, otherwise with Cao Cao's little wealth, how could he afford a team of nearly 10,000 at the beginning? Not to mention raising 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers later.

Most of the other businessmen who did not join were too far away from Yangzhou, or they had a large local foundation. After all, not everyone has the courage to do this.

With a satisfied mood, Yuan Shu left the auction house.

As soon as he returned to the government hall, he saw Guo Jia sitting inside, drinking as if no one was around.

Yuan Shu covered his forehead: "Fengxiao!" Say, what's the bad news again? ”

Guo Jia naturally put down the wine glass and burped. has been complained about too many times, Guo Jia feels that it doesn't matter, and he is used to it.

"My lord, this is not bad news. Just got the information that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong before, and now he has fled back to Chen Liu to raise troops. and falsely passed on the holy decree and issued a letter to all the princes to discuss Dong Xuan. It is expected that in ten days, the text will be spread all over the world. ”

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, the princes begged Dong, is it finally coming!

"Bonghyo, what do you think we should do next?"

Guo Jia put down the wine jug in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "Didn't the lord already count it?" This is a good opportunity to brush up on prestige, and the lord should naturally go to the fun? ”

Yuan Shu looked up at the northwest and seemed to see the Xiongcheng that was about to be engulfed by fire, as well as the first level in the world that left countless legends, the Tiger Prison Pass.

"This is the last afterglow of the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty, how can I miss it!"

Yuan Shu thought about the events in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as the popular Eighteen Road princes fighting Dong and Sanying fighting against Lu Bu, and smiled in his heart.

Looking at Guo Jia, who was not in shape, Yuan Shu asked casually: "Fengxiao, how many princes do you estimate will be able to respond to this request for Dong?" ”

Guo Jia touched his forehead and frowned: "First of all, your brother Yuan Shao, the lord, will definitely want to take this opportunity to promote the destruction of the Han Dynasty, and he will definitely go to the post of alliance leader." ”

Yuan Shu nodded thoughtfully, his brother knew best. is so happy, how can this kind of showy thing be missing him?

"Secondly, it is estimated that several major princes of the Central Plains will also participate, and there will be about seven or eight like Kong Ling, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, and the like."

"Han Fu of Jizhou, as an old official of the Yuan family, will most likely participate, and Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou should not be absent."

"Jingzhou Wang Rong is just a puppet, and it is unlikely that he will participate, at most he will provide some grain and grass."

"Yizhou Liu Yan has long been disobedient, and it is estimated that he will ignore it. Zhang Lu is just a short-sighted person, so naturally he will not participate. ”

"Liangzhou Ma Teng and Han Sui contain each other, plus they are blocked by Guanzhong, they will definitely not be able to participate, at most they can only harass Dong Zhuo's rear and delay for a moment or two."

"Generally speaking, it's about fifteen or sixteen!"

Yuan Shu sighed in his heart, it was indeed Guo Fengxiao!

The princes of the Eighteenth Road begged Dong Zhong, Sun Jian was now accepted by himself, Ma Teng would definitely not be able to reach Liangzhou, at most he could only wave the flag and shout in Xiliang. Isn't it the princes of the Sixteenth Route!

"Then Fengxiao, how many soldiers do you think I should bring to the alliance?"

Guo Jia thought for a moment: "There is no need for too much. This time, the discussion of Dong Dong is just a formality, and there will be no result, so the lord only needs to show his strength appropriately. If you lead too many troops, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of others and become the target of public criticism. ”

Jia thought that the lord only needed to take away the 30,000 soldiers under General Sun Jian's command, which was enough to protect himself. But my lord, you still need to explain everything before leaving, and it is estimated that it will take half a year. Now Yangzhou is just on the right track, but don't let some people get the opportunity. ”

Yuan Shu nodded: "Recall Yuan Hao and the others and many generals back, and be sure to arrive within three days." Three days later, an important meeting was held here. ”
