Sha Hanlin's final counterattack, under Guan Yu's heavy Qinglong knife, did not create a miracle. When his head fell to the concrete floor of the square, the blood erupting from his chest mixed with the blood of his people on the ground, the entire small square and the main street directly opposite it, Shahanlim's men had already suffered casualties.

Guo Bin immediately ordered Zhang Shiping to send someone to clean up the battlefield, but he climbed onto a carriage full of supplies in the middle of the street.

Facing the frightened group of Xianbei nobles, Guo Bin spoke: "Officially meet with the big guy, in the next Guo Bin, he is the city lord of the three cities outside the fortress." The so-called whole world is not the king's land. Regarding the construction of the three cities outside the Saiwai, it was approved by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, there are also tax collectors sent by the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the city. ”

Looking at the people with blank faces, Guo Bin continued: "Since everyone came to my city to trade, they agreed with the rules set in my city and were their own people. However, rights and obligations are corresponding, and while requiring everyone to abide by the rules of the city, the three cities outside the city naturally have to serve everyone. The so-called good service is mainly to provide a safe, equal, free and transparent trading environment for everyone, which is our obligation, and it is also the foundation of our three cities. ”

At this time, even the Xianbei nobles who wanted to follow Sha Hanlin to break through the door were also listening attentively, obviously very interested in the so-called rights and obligations proposed by Guo Bin Shicai.

Guo Bin waved his arms and continued: "Our three cities outside the Saiwai include two satellite cities and a central city, and most of the satellite cities are for the industries of the major wealthy families in Yingchuan County and all kinds of factories built by the Yangzhai County government and school under the leadership of Fulong Villa. The central city is the city where we are currently located, it is a pure trading city, in addition to the yamen responsible for security and security, and the trading houses that provide a trading place for everyone, the most important thing is its warehousing service area. ”

"Since our central city is a trade city, the foundation of its foothold is to provide a safe, equal, free and transparent trade environment for everyone. Therefore, for those who dare to break the rules of the city, my policy is only four words, and that is to never tolerate it! Whether it is Sha Hanlin or Qian Man, or Da Dan Yu Helian, as long as I want to hit the heads of the three cities outside the Saiwai that aim to benefit the entire grassland, I will definitely investigate to the end! Today, Shahanlin has paid the price for his misdeeds, but this is not enough, I have said that his tribe will be destroyed! The so-called extermination of the clan means that no one is left behind, whether it is an adult, a child, or a livestock! ”

The afternoon sun on the grassland was still quite scorching, shining on Guo Bin's blood-covered body, but it made the Xianbei nobles present feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. The corpses of Shahanlin and the rest of his clan were still warm, and the blood that flowed on the ground was even steaming. This is like a hellish scene in Shura, but it makes the best background wall for Guo Bin's speech. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the speech of standing on the corpse of the enemy is always extremely convincing and the most convincing.

However, everyone has to admit that although Guo Bin's words carry Sensen's murderous aura, every word is reasonable. Whether it was Xianbei Dadan Yu Helian coming to attack the three outer cities this time, or Sha Hanlin's intention to storm the city gate, they were all going to the root of the three outer cities, and there was no doubt that they all touched Guo Bin's bottom line. The so-called cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, at such a juncture, if the three cities outside the Saiwai really show cringe, they will really let the Xianbei people on the grassland look down on. In the final analysis, this world is dominated by whoever has the big fist, especially on the grassland.

I only heard Guo Bin continue: "Therefore, I will disrupt the security of the city and kill Sha Hanlin, who intends to plot against him, completely for the safety of everyone and the fairness of the transaction. ”

These words made everyone nod frequently. In actual transactions, they will more or less meet acquaintances, and how strong the various departments on the grassland are is not a matter of extreme secrecy. Therefore, in actual transactions, it is extremely difficult to avoid the situation of bullying the small with the big, or even bullying the market and forcing the buyer to sell. Therefore, Guo Bin's speech undoubtedly touched everyone's hearts.

Not only that, but the form of the transaction and the identities of the parties to the transaction also determine the openness and transparency of the transaction price. Because in addition to having to pay taxes on their transactions, they also need to go through the warehouse lessor when the goods change hands. In many cases, the transaction between the two parties is not to hand over the money and deliver the goods in the other hand, but to exchange the keys in the storage area. Therefore, in addition to the fairness of the trading bank, the transaction between the two parties will also be supervised by the management department of the storage area.

It was through this method that Guo Bin made the Central Plains caravans and the various tribes of the steppe involved in the transaction actively seek official protection, and of course, while receiving official protection, they also unknowingly "enjoyed" official supervision. This is the same as the Internet trading in later generations, and its trading mode is very similar to that of a certain treasure. If you want to complete a large transaction, it is undoubtedly the most reassuring, the most cost-effective, labor-saving, and extremely safe and proper way to hand over your trust to a strong and stable middleman.

This is another example of Guo Bin using the wisdom of "descendants" to play a huge role in the society of "ancestors".

I only heard Guo Bin continue: "In return for providing this kind of protection, the three cities outside the Saiwai will collect a trade tax of 10% and 5% of the entire trade volume. Two-thirds of it, or one percent of the trade, was paid to the Han court as a tax, while the remaining one-third, or five percent of the profits, was the fees collected by the three cities for various services. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement: With only five points of benefit, Guo Bin is indeed extremely kind.

Seeing that his remarks were approved by the vast majority of people, a big stone in Guo Bin's heart fell to the ground.

The Xianbei chieftains had to flee with Sha Hanlin before, because they thought that the three cities outside the Saiwai would not be able to stop Helian's 150,000 army no matter what, but now that they can't get out of the city, they can only assist Guo Bin and try their best to protect the city. At this time, the central city is indeed full of grasshoppers on a rope.

Until he returned to the Yamen, although Zhang Shiping's heart was full of worship and only worship was left, Su Shuang was still confused. He quietly asked Zhang Shiping: "You say, why is there such a huge difference between the lord's treatment of the Han trade caravan and the Xianbei people?" Is it because those who are not of my race will have different hearts? ”

Zhang Shiping smiled and said, "The lord is open-minded, courageous, and meredivistal, how can he really enter his eyes?" ”

Su Shuang said: "Oh? So what is it for? ”

Zhang Shiping said: "So the treatment of the Han caravan is so lenient, and it is both a banquet and a newspaper, because the root of the lord is in the Central Plains." You don't know the origin of these Han caravans, which of them doesn't have a huge family standing behind them? Just to marry these wealthy families, the lord will never be rude to them. Therefore, even if there is a situation, I can only talk to them well. The lord pursued a gentle policy towards them, whether it was to trade or start a newspaper, although it was for business, but in the final analysis, it was for the sake of making friends. ”

Seeing Su Shuang's teachable expression, Zhang Shiping nodded and said with great satisfaction: "As for these Xianbei people, the lord has said a word, and he summed it up very well. ”

Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Oh? What are the words? ”

"The lord said that the Yidi outside the fortress are afraid of power but not virtue, and if they want to subdue them, they need to use both grace and power, and they will do both. Today's killing of Sha Hanlin's department is nothing more than killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, all for the sake of these Xianbei nobles. From today onwards, do you think there are still Xianbei people who dare to do anything wrong in the three cities outside the Saiwai? Zhang Shiping said.

Su Shuang thought about it deeply, and it was really so. At present, the chiefs of these Xianbei tribes in the city, their respective tribes are scattered across the prairie within a radius of nearly 100 miles, and their respective strength may not be strong, but once united, they are even more terrifying than Xianbei Dashan Yu and Lian. It can be said that once they are all in a hurry, the three cities outside the Saiwai really don't have to do business on the grassland.

The Han caravans all have their own origins with Guo Bin, and as for the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai, because they have no friendship, the only tool they can talk with is their fists. However, these Xianbei nobles can't be beaten and scolded, scolded and scolded, and they can't be slaughtered with one sword, so they are the focus and difficulty of today's work to stabilize people's hearts.

Since they don't eat hard and soft, they can only kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. Only by using thunderous means to calm the scene can we not only stabilize the situation, so that the city will not be chaotic, but also stabilize the main customers of these three cities. Only in this way can the three cities outside the Saiwai be able to unite these small and medium-sized tribes around them and play an active role in resisting the attacks of the Xianbei Dadanyu and Lian Divisions; It can also ensure that there will be no unwitting blood feuds with many small and medium-sized tribes in the war, so that they can restore their inherent order as quickly as possible after the war, which is to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Su Shuang unconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief, and his complexion eased.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping said in a low voice: "The lord is benevolent and righteous, cherishes the people's strength, is scheming, and has far-reaching ambitions, and he is really a good lord who is hard to find in the world." It is really a blessing for us to be able to follow the lord and achieve a great cause. When I think about when I was a businessman, and then I think about the scenery now, I am really happy with the decision I made. ”

Su Shuang said approvingly: "Yes, this is the first time I have thanked myself at the beginning." ”
