The one who came to see Zhang Chu was Wang Jijie, a businessman from Shanxi, who, although only in his thirties, had become the actual helmsman of the Wang family firm in Shanxi.

Although the strength of the Wang family is not as strong as the Fan family led by Fan Yongdou, it can also rank second among the merchants in Shanxi.

In recent years, most of the big businessmen in Shanxi have made their fortunes by selling materials outside the customs, and more often they have smuggled grain and iron tools outside the country in violation of the regulations of the imperial court. They made a lot of profit from it, and at the same time hollowed out the Ming Dynasty, armed the enemy, and were the first traitors to lead the way, just when they made a fortune, the trade routes on the steppe outside the mouth were cut off by the Mongols. For this Huang Taiji personally led troops to recruit Lin Dan Khan in Naturalization City, and drove Lin Dan Khan out of Naturalization City, and the trade route was reopened. A few days after the good days of Shanxi, the eldest princess of the Mongols, Uliangha, led the people to recover the city of Guihua and drove away the army of Houjin, after which the Mongols strengthened the attack on the counterpart foreign trade routes, and completely controlled the grasslands outside Zhangjiakou, and the goods of the merchants who traded with the Houjin were robbed and killed, and no one dared to take this road again.

At this time, the market in Fugu suddenly rose, and a large number of materials were resold to the grassland through Fugu, and the merchants of Shanxi also found out the relationship between Zhang Chu, the leader of the security army in Fugu, and the eldest princess, and figured out that the severance of Zhangjiakou's foreign trade route was most likely caused by Zhang Chu, because Zhang Chu obtained the greatest benefit in this matter.

Understand, but the businessmen have no way to take Zhang Chu, he and the eldest princess will beat the Houjin people away, and the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty have been wiped out by him by tens of thousands, this is the strength of the speak, you can't get used to me but you can't take me.

Wang Jijie's thinking was more flexible than that of other merchants, and he soon put aside his past grievances and sent a small caravan to Fugu tentatively to do business, and he made a lot of money after a few trips. The greed of merchants for money is endless, Wang Jijie saw the fine cloth, woolen textiles, and fine iron tools produced in the areas controlled by the security army, and thought that if he could sell these things to Houjin and other places, he would definitely make a fortune.

The obstacle here is that Zhang Chu, who has all this, is now a thief who rebels against the court, and it takes a lot of risk to trade with him.

In the face of huge profits, risk is nothing at all. Wang Jijie decided to go to Fugu to talk to Zhang Chu in person, if Zhang Chu could be moved to agree to sell these materials to Houjin, then the profits obtained by the Wang family from liaison and communication are definitely not a few, and becoming the richest man in Shanxi is just around the corner.

Before coming, Wang Jijie also made a detailed investigation of Zhang Chu, he found that Zhang Chu, the anti-thief, is really different, Zhang Chu has no record of indiscriminately killing innocents, and the reputation of greed for money is outside, in order to obtain money, Zhang Chu has also conducted various transactions with other thieves who have just fought a war, and there should be room for mitigation for the Houjin people, if this channel can be opened up for Houjin to obtain a large number of materials, Huang Taiji's reward will definitely not be less.

This shows that there is no problem with the safety of going to Fugu, and people who are greedy for money will not care about anything when they see silver. If Zhang Chu is given enough benefits, the grudge between him and the Houjin people in the past is nothing, and Wang Jijie is full of confidence in the success of this trip.

Wang Jijie was invited into the hall, and Zhang Chu waited there to see what the purpose of this Shanxi businessman was here. "Hello Dashuai, I am Wang Jijie, a businessman from Shanxi, and I will ask Dashuai to take care of me when I come to Fugu to do business." Wang Jijie introduced himself. "Well said, well said. The merchants who come to Fugu are all supportive of our Fugu market, and I am grateful that it is too late, and I will definitely try my best to create a good environment for everyone to trade. Zhang Chu knew that Wang Jijie would not come just to improve relations with the security forces. Before Wang Jijie came in, the people from the Bureau of Statistics had already handed over the report on his situation to Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu was very curious about the fact that a powerful family head like Wang Jijie came to Fugu in person, so he patiently listened to what he said. "Then thank you Dashuai, when I came to Fugu, I passed through many places in Shanxi Province, Shaanxi, and saw that these places are under your governance, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all kinds of factories and mines are booming. Many excellent weapons have been produced, and if these weapons are sold outside the mouth, there will be a huge profit, and our merchants in Shanxi have done business with Houjin many times, and can communicate with the marshal from them. "Wang Jijie came up and explained his intention straightforwardly." Don't you know that I am enemies with Houjin? How dare you persuade me here to trade with Houjin, and to sell weapons that the court has expressly forbidden to sell outside the mouth. Zhang Chuzuo looked very angry and scolded Wang Jijie loudly. The marshal raised troops to resist the court to kill corrupt officials, save the people in the catastrophe from fire and water, and the Houjin was also an enemy of the court, I think the fight between you is just a battle of righteousness, if the marshal is willing to withdraw the team that intercepted the caravan on the grassland, the Houjin people will definitely live in peace with the marshal. It's good for both parties. "Wang Jijie is confident in his relationship with the Houjin people, if Zhang Chu no longer attacks the caravans outside the import and export, Huang Taiji will definitely listen to his opinions and reconcile with Zhang Chu, because the Houjin needs for materials in the mouth are very urgent." Don't bother to talk too much, my hatred with Houjin can't be resolved, I'd rather reconcile with the court than make a deal with Houjin. I welcome you to come to Fugu to do business, and I will not pursue the collusion with Houjin before, but there must be no fornication with Houjin in my territory. If someone had done that, I wouldn't mind killing people with a knife, and that's a different issue that won't change. "Zhang Chu didn't want to waste more energy on this matter, so he said it toughly." That's a lot of income, and now the Houjin people outside the mouth are the strongest, and they have the most wealth, and the profits from trading with them will be very considerable. Our Wang family is willing to hand over most of the proceeds to the marshal. "Wang Jijie wants to start with Zhang Chu's greed for money and tempt him with benefits." Boss Wang, please go back, I don't want to mention this question again, I say it again, I will not trade with a robber who robbed our Han people, I advise you to also recognize the situation, don't go all the way to the dark, and finally regret it later. Zhang Chu's words became even tougher.

Wang Jijie was a little disappointed, it seems that this trip is going to run in vain, this Zhang Chu doesn't know why he has such a deep prejudice against Houjin. It won't change for a while. There was no way, so he had to bow to Zhang Chu and said: "Thank you so much for seeing me in your busy schedule, and we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, and I will leave now." When he had said this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Chu heard the word cooperation and had a new idea, so he said to Wang Jijie: "Boss Wang will come back first, and we will have the opportunity to cooperate now." (To be continued.) )
