It is an indisputable fact that Cao Ying and Yuan Shao are still in their honeymoon period, especially after Cao Ying conferred on Yuan Shao the position of general, which sounded prominent, in the name of the Son of Heaven.

However, as the defeat of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu became more and more obvious, and Xuzhou Lu Bu and Liu Bei were not in trouble, the situation from the Central Plains to Hebei had begun to turn to the trend of-for-tat confrontation between the two allies, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying.

"Yuan Shao is greedy for vanity and values fame, the Yizhou caravan goes to Hebei, Yuan Shao will not get in the way, if he obstructs it, he will worry about being infamous and normal business dealings, he doesn't care about it at all."

Guo Jia talked eloquently, which made Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment, and then they were overjoyed.

Hebei is a rich and extensive land under the rule of Yuan Shao, and because of Yuan Shao's leadership of the scholar family, Hebei has a large number of dignitaries.

If you do business in Hebei, you will get rich returns.

Dealing with Han Sui Ma Teng's territory, Guo Jia wanted to make a gentleman's agreement with correspondence and communicate with Yuan Shao, as long as it was not a conflict of political interests, Guo Jia was not worried that Yuan Shao would do something that would cause infamy.

Although the wealthy families of Hebei look down on the wealthy families of Yizhou, they are all groups of the same class, and it is inevitable to be a little domineering, but they will not be aggressive.

According to the transfer of Guo Jia's strategy, the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce must also follow suit to make a business strategy change, they used to do business with Liangzhou, and now they have to set their sights on Hebei, because Guo Jia's next strategy is the northwest.

Guo Jia does not dominate the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu are just here to find out the external situation, and everyone will not talk about it deeply.

After chatting for some more scenes, Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu didn't plan to disturb Guo Jia's office, and planned to leave, but Guo Jia said something to save them.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you for."

The two pressed their minds and waited for the following.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I wonder if the two of you are interested in buying property in Chang'an?" ”

Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu looked at each other, not quite understanding what Guo Jia meant.

Chang'an is now desolate and sparsely populated, so what's the use of buying property here?

After all, this is no longer the Chang'an City that flourished after the founding of the Han Dynasty, since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Chang'an has gradually declined.

It is undeniable that Chang'an has political significance, but there is little commercial interest to be gained.

Even if there is, it is the land outside Chang'an City.

They thought about it, but they couldn't understand it.

Guo Jia saw that the two of them were racking their brains with a sad look on their faces, and he knew that they were thinking far away.

To restore Chang'an's prosperity, it will take at least five years, ten years, or even longer.

"Hey, this Chang'an City has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there are many mansions intact, I just want to ask you, do you want to buy a mansion in Chang'an, if you are tired of staying in Yizhou, or have leisure to travel the mountains and rivers, there is a place to stay in Chang'an."

Hearing this, Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu's eyes lit up, and they also thought of profitable benefits.

Chang'an is now in decline, but if it develops and resumes its previous prosperity, this Chang'an City will be an inch of land, not to mention the purchase of mansions for their own families, adding industries, that is, to invest, maybe it is not bad, the risk here is that Guo Jia can not stand Chang'an, and Chang'an can not develop peacefully.

"Dare to ask the envoy, how much does the envoy plan to sell the houses and homesteads in Chang'an City?"

Zhang Xu looked excited, and there was another reason that these businessmen thought in their hearts, if Chang'an could restore its former glorious status, the people who lived in Chang'an would be superior in status, and the people of Guanzhong looked down on people outside the Guanzhong, and it was also because of this in the early Han Dynasty, when Chang'an was Yanjing, and the people of Guanzhong were proud of it.

Chengdu prosperity is a fact, Yizhou people in the Kandong, Guanzhong people's eyes, but a little humble, Qin and Han dynasties in the north prosperous, the south declined, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, the northern population migrated to the south, and constantly for the development of the south to provide population and technological productivity, so that the north and the south are divided into courts.

The wealthy families of Yizhou are chasing fame and fortune, and Guo Jia's expansion of territory is good for them, as long as Guo Jia can keep Guanzhong and Chang'an develops again, they also want a piece of the pie.

I dare not say that I migrated from Yizhou to Guanzhong, at least I have a mansion in Chang'an, and when I prosper in Chang'an in the future, the Yizhou Hao family will be in front of the people of Guanzhong, which is enough to exhale and raise my eyebrows.

"The specific amount of sale is still inconclusive, but when rebuilding Chang'an, the area occupied by private houses must be a lot, and the people who return to Guanzhong will definitely settle down in Chang'an as the first choice, I think, if Yizhou also has this idea of the people, I can still be accommodating."

Guo Jia's tone was cordial, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, in fact, his idea was nothing more than to tie the Yizhou wealthy family to his boat.

The Chamber of Commerce alone is not enough, to make them have a sense of crisis, and to stand on the same front as Guo Jia, to lure the king into the urn first.

Chang'an, now is not only a depression, but also a crisis, Cao Ying said that he did not seal Guo Jiaguan, he was not justified in Chang'an, so Guo Jia wanted to unite internally, first control the Guanzhong in essence as his own, nominally, and then wait for the opportunity.

Yizhou has abundant grain reserves, and the road from Hanzhong to Chang'an is difficult and dangerous, and the people and money are lost.

Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu exchanged eyes, quite moved, the risk of this investment is obvious, Yizhou has the Qinling Mountains, everyone sit back and relax, although there is Xiongguan Gongwei in Guanzhong, but there is Han Sui Ma Teng in the west, and Yuan Shao Cao Ying in the east, in case the war burns to Guanzhong, their investment will be wasted, and there are interest groups under each prince's account, even if the Yizhou Hao clan surrenders to other princes, they will be inferior, look at people's faces, in Guo Jia, they don't have that concern.

Businessmen pursue profits, how can there be no risks in trading? As long as you feel that the reward is worth the risk, business can be done.

"Make Jun good, but disrespectful, is Jun planning to announce an edict in Yizhou to sell Chang'an residential land?" Zhang Xu was happy, but he was afraid that Guo Jia would encourage the people of Yizhou to come to Guanzhong, and then it would become a competition with the people, and the interests of these wealthy families would be relatively reduced.

Guo Jia smiled, shook his head and said: "This matter, you should just convey it to each other in the Chamber of Commerce after you return to Yizhou, and the Yizhou government will only call on those people who have left their hometowns to return to their homeland in Guanzhong, and will not incite the people of Yizhou to migrate to Guanzhong in large numbers." ”

The homeland is deep, most of the people are still willing to stay in their hometown, Guo Jia even if he instigates it has no effect, Suo surname does this with little fanfare, Yizhou is his base camp, Guanzhong resumption of production is imminent, but he can't shake his foundation, take 10,000 steps back, Guo Jia can't hold Guanzhong, and can withdraw to Yizhou, if the people of Yizhou rush to Guanzhong, Guo Jia won't cut off his way of retreat.

Zhen Yu and Zhang Xu, who were relieved, suppressed the joy in their hearts, and after discussing some details with Guo Jia, they planned to return to Yizhou as soon as possible and inform the wealthy families in the Chamber of Commerce of the news.

Sending the two of them outside the house, Guo Jia cried and laughed and said: "I also planned to set up a banquet for the two of us to wash the dust in the evening, but I didn't expect to get together for a while, and it was another parting." ”

Zhang Xu hugged his fist at Guo Jia, and said bluntly: "Come and say that Fang Chang, wait for the king to stabilize the government affairs, and he will get drunk with the envoy and rest." ”

Zhen Yu stood beside the carriage and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you know that I am determined to be a businessman, and I am going back and forth to do business from south to north, the most important thing is to be fast, you should go back to the house quickly, you don't have to send it, Brother Zhang and I will leave." ”

Helplessly parting with a salute, Guo Jiamu sent the two into the carriage, and they got into the same carriage, and it seemed that there were still many business matters to discuss with each other.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

It's really vigorous, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there is no room for missed opportunities, and the reason is the same.

Guo Jia, who returned to the house, came to the backyard and saw Diao Chan directing his subordinates to put the utensils and furnishings sent by Zhang Xu one by one, and he was very busy.

Since he moved into this mansion, everything is ordinary, and it is impossible to be messy, but it has been rejuvenated under the careful arrangement of Diao Chan, and there are rockery potted plants in the courtyard, and the flowers and plants are pleasing to the eye.

After a busy day's work, the mansion finally calmed down, and at night, after dinner and bathing, Guo Jia put down a wine glass in front of the stone table in the courtyard, took out the drunken fairy, and poured himself a drink.

Yizhou has had a rich harvest in recent years, and the people are well-informed, Ma Jun has made great contributions to the production of agricultural tools such as agricultural irrigation, which has improved production efficiency, and the prohibition of alcohol has also been lifted, and now the drunken immortals of the Zhen family have once again flowed into the market.

Diao Chan, who was tired of a busy day, also finished bathing and changing clothes, came to the courtyard, saw Guo Jia, walked over and asked softly: "Envoy, why don't you see the eldest prince?" ”

Guo Jia just drank a glass of wine, smelled the prestige, Diao Chan changed into ordinary clothes again, and the anti-knotted hair was ordinarily draped over the vest, without powder, but delicate and natural, with the fragrance after bathing, it was refreshing.

"Sit down and have a drink with me. Ye'er lives in the barracks. ”

Guo Jia picked up a cup and put it down, poured seven points, and pushed it to the vacant seat, Diao Chan sat down, just opposite Guo Jia.

"The eldest prince lives in the barracks? How's that going to work? ”

Diao Chan frowned, his face worried.

Guo Jia sighed softly and said lightly: "Too many people have fine clothes and food in the first half of their lives, but it is difficult to even survive in the second half of their lives. In troubled times, you must first be able to endure hardships. ”

Diao Chan picked up the wine glass, now she has a little bit of a small jasper taste, although she is beautiful and charming, but Guo Jia has seen too many beauties, and under visual fatigue, she only feels that the beauty in front of her is pleasing to the eye, but she has long lost the feeling of being amazing.

Taking a sip of wine, Diao Chan drinking wine is always like tasting, slightly elegant and lacking in boldness.

Holding the wine glass, a little pleasure appeared on his handsome face under the moonlight, Guo Jia looked at his other free palm attentively, and said: "Diao Chan, I went out of Taihang Mountain, occupied Yizhou, and took Guanzhong, from a small person to today, I have three points of the world for myself, do you know what it means?" ”
