The representative sent by the Zhen family was Zhen Yi's second son Zhen Yan, and the Wuji Zhen family was one of the four famous merchants during the Three Kingdoms period, and the other three were the Yizhou Wu family, the Xuzhou Mi family and the Chen Liuwei family.

Cao Cao got the funding of the Wei family before he could raise troops to fight Dong, and Liu Bei relied on the funding of the Wu family and the Mi family, and finally divided the world, as for the Zhongshan Zhen family, it seems that their luck is not very good, first Yuan and then Cao, but in the end, the Zhen family has a queen, which can be regarded as a gain.

Businessmen pursue profits, the Zhen family came to the barren land of Wuyuan, obviously because they fell in love with the business of Su wine, if it was before the establishment of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, the Zhen family wanted to use the strong, maybe it would add some trouble to the Su family, but now that the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce has been established, the major families are tightly united around the Su family, and the castle is unbreakable, and the Zhen family can only think of another way.

Therefore, Zhang County's intention is very clear, it is to stand for the Zhen family. The Zhen family has sales channels in Dahan that the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce does not have, which the Chamber of Commerce hopes to get, so Su Chen signaled to his father and asked him to agree to Zhang County's order first.

Not long after Zhang Xianling went back, Zhen Yan came to the door and brought several large cars of gifts, which was really a gesture of a wealthy businessman.

However, Shinong Industry and Commerce, in today's Han Dynasty, the status of merchants is still the lowest level, instead, the status of the warriors is infinitely high, and both civil and military are emphasized, which is also the confidence to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.

A strong martial artist, that is the existence of the major families competing for it, they will enter the court as officials in the near future, and they can become the disciples of the family when they retire, enjoying a steady stream of cultivation resources.

There are even some who crisscross the rivers and lakes and open sects, which is also a force that people dare not ignore, and even the government has three points of courtesy in the local area.

It's just that Wuyuan County is located in the frontier, not a place where Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and there are few people, so the strength of the government is the strongest.

After Zhen Yan came to the door, the first thing he proposed was the secret recipe for buying Su wine, and it was the housekeeper Su Wu who was talking to him, which Su Wu of course could not agree to.

Zhen Yan obviously knew that this hen that laid eggs could not be taken away, so he retreated and fought for a stake in the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Su Wu didn't speak after hearing this, and after Su Chen listened, he said: "Brother Zhen, let's not talk about the shareholding of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce that you proposed just now, you also know that now the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce can sell Su wine to Bingzhou at most, and it is far beyond the current sphere of influence of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, so we might as well try to cooperate first, I will provide you with the source of Su wine, you help us sell, and we will share the sales proceeds, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Zhen Yan shook his head, rejected his proposal, and said instead: "Brother Su, let's do it this way, let's cooperate for the first time, you provide me with a fixed price of supply, as for what price I can sell this Su wine, then I am solely responsible, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Su Chen knew that Zhen Yan was unwilling to share the sales profits with him, after all, with the strength of the Zhen family, it was not impossible to sell Wuyuan Immortal Brew to a few hundred gold jars, you must know that scarcity is expensive, especially in the south, where commerce and trade are developed, it is the hometown of ointment, and the big families are all next to each other, and in order to compare with each other, even if it is a thousand gold jars, they will buy it.

Su Chen didn't want the Zhen family to take a stake in the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhen family didn't want the Su family to share his sales channels, so the two sides didn't negotiate for a while, and finally Su Chen agreed to Zhen Yan's plan, but the requirement was that he must exchange food and medicinal materials for wine, and the price Su Chen provided him was seventy percent of the selling price.

Zhen Yan also agreed to this plan, he knew that the current production of Su wine was still small, and it was not enough to supply the entire Dahan market, so it was a seller's market, even if Su Chen asked for the full price, he had to accept it, because he couldn't get so much at one time in other places, and it was a price increase.

The price of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce is set according to Su Chen, but how much those merchants sell after buying it back, this is not something that Su Chen can decide, the Chamber of Commerce is currently mainly doing wholesale, and its own sales channels have not yet been established.

After the business was negotiated, naturally both parties were happy, Su Chen asked about the situation of Zhen Yan's brothers and sisters, and only then did he know that the historical Queen Zhen had not yet been born.

In history, Zhen Yi had a total of three sons and five daughters, the eldest son died early, this son Zhen Yan, once raised filial piety, opened up for the general Peng, Ren Quliang Chang, the third son Zhen Yao, has five daughters, Zhen Mi, four sisters are Jiang, off, Dao, Rong, are currently in the boudoir.

Zhen Yan invited him to Zhongshan as a guest, Su Chen had this idea, but now that he has not achieved cultivation, where is he qualified to travel the world, he can only refuse.

He also invited Zhen Yan to be in the house Huanhuan auspicious day, the age difference between the two is not big, Zhen Yan traveled around, what he saw and heard was very wide, Su Chen heard it with relish, ten days later, Zhen Yan took five hundred jars of Su wine to resign, because it was the first transaction, Zhen Yan did not prepare food, so all in gold trading.

The inventory of 40,000 catties of fine wine is not much, but the surprise is that these 40,000 catties of fine wine have also brought tens of thousands of gold to the Su family, and this time the income has exceeded the Su family's hundred years of accumulation, and Su Wei has to sigh that he is really old.

The major families in Wuyuan County also made a lot of money, and the effect was that they were more loyal to the Su family, and even the children of the major families were faintly headed by Su Chen, especially Cao Xing and Wei Xu, and the rest of Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng were also impressed by Su Chen's methods and worshipped him as the eldest brother.

After killing this large group of shrimp in one net, Su Chen was in a good mood, Wei Xu and Cao Xing were both strong in the bone forging period, and they were only one step away from breaking through the Yi Muscle Period, and the remaining four people also broke through the bone forging period one after another in the battle with Su Chen.

Of course, Su Chen is no exception, after he and Wei Xu fought for the first time, he felt that the bottleneck was a little loose, and then he learned from these people every day, and soon broke through the bone forging period, among the current people, Su Chen's force is the highest, Wei Xu Cao is second, Hao Meng is the second, and the remaining ten or so teenagers are basically still in the skin refining period.

The Su wine business was temporarily on the track, and the Su family also had money, so Su Chen reorganized the horse farm in the west and prepared to raise horses.

The horse farm is easy to get, but the good war horse is not easy to get, on raising horses alien people are the best at it, and there are Xiongnu in the west of the state, Xianbei in the north, Wuhuan in the east, often robbed by foreign races, it is because the population here is not much.

If you want to talk about war horses, it must be the most in the hands of foreign races, the Xiongnu are divided into two parts, and after the Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty, they lived in the Hetao area.

After the Northern Xiongnu moved north, they slowly integrated into Xianbei and often invaded the Han frontier, which was also the threat of Wuyuan.

Iron has to be hard, if you want to resist Xianbei, you must establish a cavalry, cavalry must be a war horse, a good war horse is the key to building a cavalry, and now with enough financial support, Su Chen of course came up with this thought.

His idea is very simple, based on the private soldiers of the major families, establish a cavalry of 500 people, these people will be soldiers when they gather, and if they are scattered, they will be the people, and they will be the protective force of the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce in the future.

The number of people is very easy to gather, and now the key is the war horse, as soon as Su Chen told everyone about this idea, Cao Xuan proposed a solution.

"Lord, we don't have war horses in our hands, but the Huns have them in their hands, the Huns live in the grass, and the need for spirits is more than ours, why don't you exchange wine for war horses, I believe that the Huns will not refuse the kindness of the lord."

Yes, since seeing Su Chen's powerful strength and extraordinary means, more than a dozen of them have worshiped Su Chen as the main and regarded themselves as his generals.

The time is ripe, and Su Chen is not polite, the status of master and slave must be decided, otherwise it will be difficult to implement decisions in many cases.

"What Cao Xing said is exactly, my lord, the Huns don't have much gold and silver in addition to war horses, let's exchange wine for war horses, isn't it just what they want?" Wei Xu took Cao Xuan's words and continued.

Su Chen thought about it, this is really the truth, the bitter cold in the north, especially those nomads, they are very fond of spirits, but how to do it?

This time, Hao Meng took the initiative to ask Ying, and was willing to go to the Hun tribe in exchange for a war horse, Hao Meng's ability He was relieved enough, but when it came, he still asked Cao Xing to take Hao Meng and Hou Cheng to go together.

The remaining three people, together with him, gathered five hundred elite private soldiers from each family and began to train.

In addition to war horses, weapons and armor are also needed, and leather is not difficult to buy in the north, so of course leather armor is used for armor, as for weapons, Su Chen feels that the ring head knife of the Han Dynasty is not very suitable as a standard weapon for cavalry, and this kind of straight knife has many shortcomings compared with the scimitar used by the Huns.

The center of gravity of the scimitar is forward, which is convenient for chopping, and it is more suitable for chopping immediately, and the center of gravity of the straight knife is balanced, which is conducive to grasping, and has good controllability, whether it is stabbing or scratching or cutting.

In addition, when using a straight sword, there will be a knee-jerking action, and in the case of high-speed conflict, the sword will be plunged into the enemy and taken away. The scimitar chopping is more labor-saving than the straight sword, because the scimitar can still keep cutting after touching the target due to the low resistance, and it is actually carrying out an action similar to sawing, from the contact point to the tip of the knife, the entire blade can participate in the cutting; The slash of the straight sword is carried out only by the part that makes contact.

Finally, there is the straight sword charge and thrust, which is easy to hurt the wrist, but according to British statistics in the Peninsula War, although the scimitar causes more damage than the straight sword, it is not easy to hurt the user's wrist, in contrast, the straight sword causes more damage.

Wuyuan was often attacked by Xianbei, and the main enemy of the cavalry was also a Xianbei alien race, so Su Chen did not plan to use the ring-headed knife as a standard weapon, because the ring-headed knife was not advantageous compared with the scimitar.

But he also doesn't know how to use a scimitar, the Han people are still not used to using a scimitar, after some thought, Su Chen finally thought of the Mo knife of the Tang cavalry, that is, the horse chopping knife.

It's just that the smelting process of the Mo knife is very complicated, can Su Chen overcome this difficulty?
