In the stands of Keju Field, which was already boiling, Zigong was secretly calculating in his heart.

"Judging from today's situation, a normal game, to say the least, will have more than 1,000 spectators, and after the surrounding stands are completely built, it can even be as many as two or three thousand people, which is much more lively than ordinary eup. Just the entrance ticket that the gentleman said is a lot of income. ”

According to Zhao Wuxian's idea, the scholars and wealthy merchants of Cao Guo could also invite them to organize a Keju team to participate in the competition. When the industry slowly grows and the number of people increases, leagues can even be held, and there are a lot of turnover accounts for gambling, and then it will be the real daily income.

After the Keju was over, the common people left in batches under the guidance of Cao Guo's soldiers, and there was no stampede that Zhao Wuxian feared. After leaving the school grounds, they found that there were some small cockfighting arenas and horns next to them, and they immediately rushed over with great interest, but they were told that this time they had to hand over a Qi Dao coin circulating in Tao City.

Some people scolded and left, but most of them still lined up and paid money to go in to watch, and there was a lively cheer and gambling fights inside.

When the sun was setting, they finished the day's fun, and they were immediately hungry, and complained that the surrounding area was so barren that these venues seemed to stand out from the crowd, and there were no shops and liquor stores to eat, or there were women!

"Yes, in a month, there will be a lot of people around here, and you are welcome to open a store here!" When Zigong sent the merchants away, he said confidently.

From the very beginning, Zhao Wuxian and Zigong made up their minds to take Keju and Chichai as the core, and bring together the popular entertainment projects of this era to create a comprehensive entertainment venue where everyone can find their own fun.

In this way, these "extravagant industries" can attract popularity like a whirlpool. Taoyi is the most lively and wealthy city in the world and has the largest floating population. Gathering countless popularity, there is absolutely no shortage of money here, what is lacking is a place that can make people spend a lot of money!

This "place of luxury" is a tempting cake, but Zhao Wuxian and Zigong swallow most of it at the same time. We are also not hesitant to give the corners to others in order to seek cooperation and win-win results. As a newcomer, as an exiled gentleman with no foundation, even with the strong support of Cao Bo, Zhao Wuxian did not want to become the target of public criticism again.

From the standpoint. Not only did Zigong's business not compete with other merchants who hoarded and resold and transported, but it also provided them with an additional place to spend time during their stay in Taoyi. Therefore, under the silent pull of Zigong Runwu, the businessmen also changed from vigilance and wait-and-see to willingness to actively cooperate.

On the contrary, although Chen Pingzhong, Xian Bofu, and Yuxin, who have the strongest backgrounds among the merchants, are extremely interested in these industries and want to join in to ask about cooperation, they can't save face because of the previous conflicts with Zhao Wuxian and Zigong, and they can't make decisions on behalf of their elders.

After glancing at each other, they took their leave, hurried back to the building and told their father what they had seen today.

And for Zhao Wuxian and Zigong. There are no eternal enemies in the mall, not to mention that with Zhao Wuxian's current forces, it is impossible for Qi and Zheng Jujia to do so. That's why he let Zigong treat him as usual, and hyped up in front of them that "harmony is precious" and "harmony can make money", so as to confuse them.

But he also gave Zigong a promise.

"At least one year, at most three years, when I have a foothold, Zigong can also lay a foundation in Taoyi and become the head of all merchants, and then we will let them pay the price!"

Right now. They can only use soft knives to cut meat, so that these three children and merchants will inject the money earned by Taoyi into extravagant entertainment like flowing water, but if they want to cause substantial suppression and victory, they still have to rely on the trade war of bulk goods.

like salt, like copper and tin, like gold, like corn......

There is no vast territory. This prosperous and extravagant industry is also like a castle in the air, which will collapse when a gentle breeze blows.

After the people went to the sky, Zhao Wuxian looked at the approaching night and said to Zigong: "I will give Zigong full authority for the management of Cao Guo and Tao City." With the assistance of the merchants recruited from the Song Kingdom, as well as the local Cao people led by Tao Gu, plus Zigong's talent and verbal argument, he will definitely be able to do his next career here. ”

And he was ready to go north at the beginning of June.

……

Xian Bofu and Yuxin are cousins, so they returned together, and told the Chi Zhu, Keju and Zigong hints that they saw today "merchants and goods breed, and can make money" word for word.

The hostile attitude of Zheng Guo's two big merchants towards Zhao Wuxian's forces was due to a kind of businessman's natural sensitivity. Judging from what happened in Jiangshi and Shangqiu, they thought that once these two people entered Taoyi, they would become difficult competitors to deal with.

Coupled with the fact that Jin and Zheng are now hostile, the existence of the Xian clan is to serve the interests of Zheng Guo; And Zhao porcelain, which was popular in the Central Plains, also had a certain impact on the luxury goods operated by the Yu family, and they couldn't figure out how this thing was so beautifully made for a while, so the two families would join forces to stumble on Zigong in Taoyi.

However, only a few days after Zhao Wuxian arrived in Cao State, the situation was dramatically reversed, and instead of being imprisoned, they persuaded Cao Bo to encourage extravagance and be protected by the office. This is not much different from the treatment that Zheng Shang received in Zheng Guo, and they fell into passivity for a while.

Fighting snakes is not afraid of snake bites, but the children who went to investigate brought back the news that the Zhao gentleman and Wei Shang Duanmu Ci were willing to reconcile, and even cooperate.

It is not uncommon for merchants to compete to the death today, but to do business together tomorrow, so the Xian clan and the Yu clan also went down the slope and decided not to embarrass Zigong for the time being.

"Why don't we also set up a luxury business in Taoyi? As long as you imitate the various kinds of fun that the second son said today, you can also absorb money. ”

An elder of the Yu clan was eye-catching and made this suggestion, but it was quickly rejected.

"What smart people are the gentlemen of the Zhao family and Duanmu Ci, how can they be defenseless? They had already persuaded Cao Bo that if a new extravagant business was opened in Taoyi, he would have to collect twice the tax, which seemed to be called extravagant tax? When the time comes, we will have to pay double the heavy tax to Master Cao Guochu after making a profit, how can we compete with it? What's more, the cockfighters, horn fighters, and even the female dancers in Tao City have already been recruited by them! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and in the end, Yu Xin suggested that it would be better to observe for a while longer, and wait until this extravagant business could indeed be profitable. It is not too late for them to return to Zheng Guo and start a model.

Chen Pingzhong was in a similar situation, but his attitude was more resolute.

"Uncles, in Tao City, you can't be an enemy of Zigong!" This is the idea he has born in the short space of today.

Zigong is elegant. Knowledgeable and eloquent, many businessmen in the stands faintly regarded this young junior as the center! Even Chen Pingzhong couldn't help but feel admiration after talking to him.

The elders smiled bitterly at each other.

"Ping Zhong, it's not that we want to embarrass them, but the prince of the Gaotang Dynasty has told us to pay attention to every move of Zhao Wuxian and his henchmen......

Chen Pingzhong was stunned when he heard this. Gao Tang Chen? Chen Heng, the son of the world who is quite strategic and ambitious, he has never met the gentleman of the Zhao family, why did he have a holiday?

But in this way, the attitude of the Qi merchants has been determined, and they will continue to adopt a hostile, competitive and surveillance attitude towards the newly rising Zhao merchants in Tao City.

What made them nervous was that there was news recently that the three secretaries of the Jin State were attacking and defending, and the army led by the Chinese army Zuo Zhao Ying had approached the river. It is possible to cross the river at any time to besiege Puyang!

At this sensitive moment, Zhao Wuxian came from the Song Kingdom to Taoyi, which was not far from the Wei Kingdom, with a large number of soldiers, was it really a coincidence?

It's just that Zhao Wuxian announced to the public that he wanted to stay here forever and recuperate, and there were rumors that he had asked Cao Bo to be sealed in a small town by Lei Ze and become a doctor of Cao Guo.

Qi Shang didn't dare to be careless, and the eyeliner they sent often went around the Waiguo area where Zhao soldiers were stationed, but there was only the sound of galloping and bowing in the barracks all day long, but they didn't come out to practice. That's why Qi Shang put his mind at ease. From the perspective of a businessman, they vaguely guessed that the Zhao gentleman was going to train all his soldiers to become racing cars, horse racers, and jujus.

So the Qi merchants gradually relaxed their vigilance in this regard, but they were worried about what would happen if Zhao Shang took root in Taoyi......

The time entered the beginning of June, and the eyeliner that went to Taoyi Waiguo early in the morning found that today's Zhao Ying was silent. Only the smoke drifted quietly, and even sparrows landed in the camp.

The eyeliner was not good, and he crawled back to report, and when Qi Shang asked Chen Pingzhong to personally bring people into the Zhao camp, there were indeed people inside who had already gone to the camp. The weapons, armor, chariots and horses were all withdrawn cleanly, and Zigong happened to be cleaning up here with people. Prepare to remove the tent.

"Zigong, where is the gentleman of the Zhao family?" Chen Pingzhong was a little stunned, wasn't it always lively a few days ago? If you don't see it, it's gone.

Zigong is wearing a deep coat with wide sleeves and a Confucian crown on his head today, and after leaving without a shirt, he is the principal of this exile force in Cao State, so today's dress is quite a bit of a celebrity.

He turned his head to Chen Zhongping and smiled elegantly: "Naturally, I left." ”

"Where?" Chen Zhongping asked in a hoarse voice, but then understood how the other party could tell him. Now, I can only go back and tell my uncles quickly. It seems that Zhao Wuxian and the others only left last night, and it was too late to send a car to Gao Tang to report to the prince!

However, he didn't know that the battle in the Zhao camp in the past half a decade was indeed the Zhao soldiers tossing at the beginning. But three days ago, Zhao Wushu quietly left in the night, and the sound of the next few days was actually a play performed by the people left behind by the Zigong faction, a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell.

In this way, it would be good if the transmission car sent by Qi Shang was not intercepted, where would he be able to report the news in time?

Zigong remembered that before Zhao Wuxian left, he sincerely bowed his hand and said: "What the gentleman is going to do, give it to his heart." But after all, Weiguo is the mother country of giving, born and raised in Si, and I hope that the gentleman can abide by the military etiquette as much as possible and kill less! If this can be done, it will be a blessing for the defenders! ”

Zhao Wuxian helped him up and replied: "King Chuzhuang once said that there are seven virtues in martial arts, prohibition of violence, soldiers, protection, meritorious service, peace and security, and abundance. Zigong, please rest assured, I am not here to kill and plunder, but to save the people of the country from the war between Jin and Qi. ”

Zigong listened to the frogs chirping on the banks of the Jishui River, and secretly thought in his heart: "Gentlemen and warriors, now you have arrived on the bank of Pushui in the territory of the country...... )
