After occupying the pass, Lu Xun moved most of the army and horses back to Runan County, and no longer marched, and Sima Yi's actions were surprisingly tacit with Lu Xun.

After returning to Runan City, Lu Xun ordered Dong Heng and Zhang Ren to garrison the school field in the city, while Lu Xun himself, like an ordinary official, governed the city and ran the civil affairs.

At this time, under the rule of Pang Shanmin, it seems to have completely settled down, occupied the whole territory of Hanzhong and Runan County, Pang Shanmin was quite satisfied with such a result, this time to expand the territory, the loss of troops is very few, and the completion of the Xichuan General and Jingxiang General Colonel mixed formation, in the future to fight together, can also be separated from each other, and the most important thing is to occupy Hanzhong, the place where the Sichuan must pass, in the future, the place where the Pang Shanmin can use troops, all over the north and south of the river, and the place occupied, mostly easy to defend and difficult to attack the strategic artery.

In this situation, Jingxiang merchants are even more happy, and now there are many merchants who have purchased land and opened shops in Hanzhong and Runan, and Jingxiang have gradually saturated the sales of goods of various families, and the land plundered by the people of Pang Shan has also satisfied these families and expanded the scope of sales of goods.

Compared with the rest of the princes, the merchants had to be cautious, the land owned by the Pang Shanmin did not need to worry about the safety and fairness of commerce and trade, and now Pang Shanmin and a group of civil servants gathered in Xiangyang and began to discuss the formulation of rules and regulations, so that the commercial activities of the merchants under his rule were more standardized.

On Liu Biao's house, full of friends, Pang Shanmin and Liu Biao, in the main position, all the county guards in the hall, celebrities, all sitting, Pang Shanmin saw that the invited people had arrived, and said to Liu Biao: "This time I disturbed Jingsheng Gong." ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Why should the mountain people be so polite, before the Jingxiang Literary Association, here, it is not the old man boasting, this Jingxiang land, only here, can make the wise men and gentlemen, feel at home." ”

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly when he heard this, this time he summoned the ministers to discuss in Liu Biao's mansion, which was also a last resort for Pang Shanmin, if the banquet was for the family, above the court, it was obviously not appropriate, and the bamboo forest atmosphere was pure, and it was not suitable to discuss the law of commerce and trade with everyone, so Pang Shanmin sent a letter to Liu Biao before, wanting to use his mansion to discuss business and trade matters with everyone, Liu Biao learned that he happily obeyed his orders, and Liu Biao was more interested in seeing this business and trade matter, and how Pang Shanmin dealt with it.

Seeing everyone's eyes, they all gathered in the face of Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin stood up in the banquet, and said to all the people in the hall: "The people who have arrived today are all the talents of my Jingxiang family, and now the wealth of your family, I am afraid that it is not much better than Pang Mou, Pang Mou invited you to come with you this time, and I want to discuss with you, this business law, you should now find that this former law is no longer suitable for the current situation." ”

Pang Shanmin said, all the people in the hall exchanged heads, for the current development of Jingxiang trade, most of the families, all satisfied, the wealth of the family than before, several times the number of people, countless, the hall Kuai Yue heard the words, smiled at Pang Shanmin and said: "Every time the general creates, my Jingxiang family has gains, I don't know that the general this time, can there be a new law, so that we can benefit again?" ”

Kuai Yue said, everyone in the hall was clamoring, Pang Shanmin smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Kuai Yue: "Summoning you to come, it is to formulate a new law, if this law is Pang Mou's arbitrary, in case of cutting off the financial road of any family, it is always bad." ”

Kuai Yue nodded when he heard this, and said no more, Pang Shanmin saw that everyone did not speak, and sighed lightly: "Recently, Pang heard that between various families, because of business and trade matters, there are many more conflicts than before, Pang is happy to be in danger, and he does not want such a situation, which is becoming more and more intense, so he called you here, and wants to discuss it together, by the way, improve the law of my Jingxiang business, if there is any entanglement in the future, I Jingxiang court, can also make a fair decision on behalf of me, so it is better than you arguing in private, much better!" ”

Pang Shanmin said, the people under the hall are talking about it, many people are quite satisfied with the existing living conditions, Jingxiang trade, going back and forth to the princes, the family under the hall has benefited countless people, as for the matter of the law, everyone thinks that it is enough to pay taxes, as for the contradictions in commerce, it is also a common practice to solve the private problems of the family business, and now Pang Shanmin proposes to solve the private grievances of the family through the court, and everyone does not understand in their hearts, why Pang Shanmin wants to take this matter in the hands of the court, so as to understand Pang Shanmin in order to understand Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin's move, there must be a deep meaning, Thinking of this, Kuai Yue smiled at Pang Shanmin and said: "Since the general has this intention, everything can be according to the general's thoughts!" ”

Pang Shanmin smiled when he heard this: "It is about the livelihood of the family, and the mountain people dare not specialize." ”

After that, Pang Shanmin took down the booklet on the side of the case and said to the representatives of the family: "Pang Mou has heard recently, this Wang family, the Kuai family in the matter of ready-to-wear, contradictions are frequent, I don't know the details, now you are here, the two heads of the family can be in front of everyone, all the details, can also let everyone comment on the reason, a fair judgment." ”

Kuai Yue looked stunned when he heard this, and Wang Wei, the head of the Wang family, said with a resentful face: "So that the general knows that the thaumaturgy obtained by my Wang family is printing and dyeing, and the Kuai family is in charge of the loom, and if you want to make ready-to-wear clothes, both of us have to pay, and the cloth made of clothes, the Kuai family takes nine, and the Wang family takes one, the profit is too small, and it is very unfair!" ”

Wang Wei said that, Kuai Yue snorted coldly, and said to Pang Shanmin: "If there is no cloth made by the loom, why do you need to print and dye, give you a piece of the Wang family, you have already profited!" ”

When Wang Wei heard this, he wanted to quarrel again, but Pang Shanmin laughed and said: "Just because of this, your two families fought privately in front of this Xiangyang City Gate several times?" ”

When the two of them heard this, their expressions were dumbfounded, but Liu Biao smiled and said: "The old man has never seen such a gaffe before, and this wealth is really true." ”

"Let Jingsheng Gongjian smile." When Kuai Yue heard this, his expression was sneering, but Pang Shanmin put away his smile and said to Kuai Yue: "This matter is not weird, it is when Pang Mou is doing business, he also wants to make a lot of money, Pang Mou gave you thaumaturgy before, I want to make Jing Xiang rich, a family in charge of a thaumaturgy, but also save the cost of each family, in the early stage of the development of the family's business, monopoly is also beneficial, but Pang Mou never thought that the contradictions between the families came so quickly. ”

Pang Shanmin said, Kuai Yue said with a surprised face: "The general expected today's events before? ”

"If you say that you lead the troops to fight, it is the enemy who touches Pang's tent, Pang may still be asleep, if you talk about this business business, Pang also has some experience." Pang Shanmin said, everyone in the hall laughed, this lord of Jingxiang is the only prince in the world who can't lead the army, this is also a joke in Jingxiang, Xichuan all over the country.

Pang Shanmin saw Kuai Yue and Wang Wei, and his resentment faded slightly, and he said to the two: "Pang has some ideas about this matter, one of which is that after the two of you discuss, the contract will be re-established, and the court will supervise whether your two families are willing to fulfill the contract, so as to save the two of them from fighting privately." ”

"There is a contract!" When Kuai Yue heard this, he said to Wang Wei: "I said it before, and the Kuai family will take nine out of ten!" ”

Seeing that Wang Wei was about to refute him, Pang Shanmin said with a smile: "This contract is established, when there is some floating, Pang also knows that when this day is dry, madder and perilla are not abundant, so Wang Jiali is less profitable, and he has resentment." ”

When Wang Wei heard what Pang Shanmin said, he was excited, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The general knows the details, this matter is not Wang Mou's stinginess, but he has told him about it, but he doesn't understand people!" ”

When Kuai Yue heard this, he muttered: "If there is a contract, the Wang family is unreasonable, so why bother the general to come in person for such a trivial matter?" ”

"If Pang doesn't come, won't Xenodu hit General Wang's house?" Pang Shanmin said, everyone in the hall laughed, and there were also many connected merchants who were unreasonable with each other, Pang Shanmin saw that there were many masters of the family under the hall, and there was no past Swen in a moment, and he was speechless for a while, Liu Biao saw this, and smiled in Pang Shanmin's ear: "Shanmin, the old man thought that you could solve everything...... Now it seems that the old man has seen the joke. ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he glanced at Liu Biao, and said with a wry smile: "You guys are quiet for a while, Pang summoned you here to solve the incident!" ”

Pang Shanmin's prestige is not small now, everyone heard this, they didn't dare to say much, seeing that the hall gradually quieted down, Pang Shanmin sighed: "This commercial law seems to have to be established, you are all colleagues, when you work together, Pang wants to choose a thaumaturgical family, set up a chamber of commerce, and solve this problem together!" ”

The Chamber of Commerce is also a fresh product for a group of Jingxiang families, everyone is looking forward to it, want to know how Pang Shanmin can solve the dispute here, Pang Shanmin saw that his eyes were gathered here, spread out the books in his hand, and said to everyone: "You first elect twenty representatives, add my Pang family, and establish a Chamber of Commerce together, and then if there is such a dispute, you can hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will decide, each family can occupy a seat, and many people will support it, and they will act according to its decision." ”

"Have the mountain people ever thought about the private connection between the families?" When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but interject.

"It's easy to understand! The purpose of establishing a chamber of commerce is to seek fairness, if there is a private connection, once Pang learns about it, he will be expelled from the chamber of commerce, I have countless Jingxiang families, these twenty-one, if you want to make up, it is extremely easy. Pang Shanmin said, everyone in the hall was silent, Kuai Yue thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "In this way, it is also fair." ”

Seeing that the Kuai family seconded the proposal, and the rest of the families also agreed, Wang Wei remembered that Pang Shanmin had spoken out about the dye before, and he nodded and said: "Wang is also willing to obey the general's decision!" ”

Seeing this, Pang Shanmin smiled and said: "The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is only one of them, Pang is here, and there are important things." You are from a family, well-informed, such as today's princes, there are only four left, and the raw materials you need, the goods you sell, go to Jiangdong, Xichuan, and the Central Plains...... Today, in addition to the Chamber of Commerce, Pang has another matter that I would like to discuss with you. ”
