"This year, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Liangzhou has set the price of four types of vegetables, fruits, and spices -- the internal exit price of Shuxiang is five yuan a catty, the internal retail price shall not exceed eight yuan a catty, and the external exit price is ten yuan a catty, and the external retail price is not restricted. The internal exit price of Baiguo is 15 yuan a catty, the internal retail price shall not exceed 20 yuan, the external exit price is 25 yuan a catty, and the external retail price is not restricted. The internal price of Yanyang fruit is also fifteen yuan a catty, and the internal retail price shall not exceed twenty yuan, and it is the same as Baiguo externally. The internal price of mustard peppers is 150 yuan per catty, and the retail price must not exceed 200 yuan. The external price is 250 yuan a catty, and the retail price is not limited. ”

"From this year onwards, the Liangzhou government will no longer directly intervene in the commercial trade of unofficial farms and ranches. But warn all merchants, don't violate the relevant laws of my Liangzhou. Once it is investigated and verified, it will immediately confiscate a hundred times the value of the goods traded, and at the same time expel it from Liangzhou and prohibit commerce! ”

The merchants were listening with great joy when they suddenly received a warning, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Liangzhou is very strict in this regard. For example, foreign businessmen who pretend to be mainland businessmen to obtain goods at lower wholesale prices will be severely punished. Not only will they be fined a hundred times the money, but they will also cancel the right to trade, and they will not tolerate any mercy, which is simply their old life.

Such examples have been learned in the past, so the businessmen here should keep them in mind.

Seeing this, Zhou Lin nodded, and said: "We, the Liangzhou official, aim to create a good business environment, I hope you don't cross the line." Especially the merchants from other places, maybe you can get ten or a hundred times the profit of the goods you wholesale from Liangzhou at a high price, but I would like to give you a piece of advice on behalf of Liangzhou -- you must be worthy of your conscience in everything you do! I can tell you, sooner or later, our Liangzhou will dominate the world, and sooner or later we will become the people of my Liangzhou, for those black-hearted people, we will not tolerate it, please remember! ”

"Virtue is the first criterion for doing business!"

When the major businessmen here heard this, they were all speechless.

"Well, one last important notice. The merchants of Yizhou are blessed, our Liangzhou has opened up a road to Yizhou Guanghan from the south of Wudu, and you don't have to detour through Guanzhong and Hanzhong in the future, you can go directly from this road to Liangzhou and Yizhou. ”

This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the crowd.

Especially the merchants in Yizhou, such as Yan's, such as other small and medium-sized trading houses, couldn't help but get up in unison and exclaimed in an uproar!

opened up the road from Wudu to Yizhou, the meaning of which is too far-reaching!

For them merchants, this is a huge benefit. But at the political and military level, Yizhou was completely exposed to Liangzhou's minions!

Businessmen in these years, especially high-grade businessmen, have close ties with the government. For example, the Yan family, there are many clansmen who are officials in Yizhou.

That's why they react like this.

As for why Zhou Lin wanted to expose this news, it was because of Li Zheng's orders.

Before opening that avenue, it is indeed necessary to keep it secret, so as not to try to destroy it in Yizhou. Now, it doesn't. The avenue has been built, and the barrier is blocked, and Liu Junlang is helpless. Moreover, this is also a kind of deterrent to Yizhou.

Li Zheng discussed with Xun You and others, and felt that the surrounding forces, from the bottom up, already had many people admiring Liangzhou. In that case, why not add another fire?

Shake the stability of the surrounding forces, accelerate the emergence and intensification of their internal contradictions, spread the influence of Liangzhou to Yizhou faster and more conveniently, influence them, attract them, disintegrate them, and finally maybe be able to enter Yizhou without blood!

"That's it!"

Zhou Lin waved his hand and said: "Later, there will be a handbook on this year's relevant business and trade to be sent to you, now, please express your opinions and make a supplement to this year's business policy in Liangzhou." ”

Chengdu, Yizhou Prefecture.

Liu Yan's face was dull, and the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground, making a cracking sound, which failed to bring him back to his senses.

After a long time, Liu Yan's face was pale, his eyes flashed with fear and fear, and he said slowly, word by word: "You mean, Liangzhou has opened up the road from Wudu to Guanghan?" ”

Zhao Wei lowered his head, his voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Yes, lord." ”

"How did they get through?"

Liu Yan slowly stood up, walked back and forth, walked faster and faster, looked more and more excited, and shouted: "Dozens of miles of dangerous peaks and mountains, how did they get through?" How is that possible?! How could it be!? How can it!? ”

As he spoke, he raised a foot, kicked Zhao Yun over, and shouted, "You say, how can you be?!" ”

Zhao Wei lowered his head, his eyes flickered, but he didn't let Liu Yan see it, and said in a dry voice: "Liangzhou is amazing." ”

When Liu Yan heard this, he walked for a while, stood in a daze, knelt down, waved his hand, and said, "You go, call Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others to me!" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Wei retreated, and Liu Yan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then, I heard Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and other generals ask to see him.

"Come in." Liu Yan's whole person softened, lying on his side on the couch, watching Zhang Ren and the others come in with cloudy eyes, and said, "Sit down." ”

"What do you have to summon the last general and others?!"

Yan Yan was an old man, so he asked first.

"Liangzhou has opened up the road from Wudu to Guanghan." Liu Yan's voice was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all: "In the future, the army of Liangzhou will be able to drive straight into Yizhou and use troops against me." ”

"What!?"

Immediately, Yan Yan and the others' faces changed wildly, and one by one they stood up suddenly, their eyes full of disbelief.

"How is this possible?!" Zhang Ren didn't believe it.

"Zhao Wei reported back to me, Yan's caravan has just returned to Yizhou from that road. General Yan, I'm sure you'll hear soon. "Yan Yan is the person of the Yan family.

"So so" Yan Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Ren said: "My lord, when you are in the first place, you should immediately dispatch a large army and garrison Yinping Road, just in case!" ”

"You can do it." Liu Yan looked disheartened and waved his hand.

Zhang Ren was speechless, sighed, hugged his fists, and turned out of the room.

In the room, Yizhou was speechless

Changan.

After Dong Zhuo learned that the roads between Liangzhou and Yizhou were smooth, he first laughed for a while, and then frowned.

How important Yizhou is, how can Dong Zhuo not know?

The pre-Qin dynasty took Yizhou as the granary, started in Xiliang, flourished in Guanzhong, and finally won the world. The importance of Yizhou can be seen from this.

Why did Dong Zhuo send troops to Hanzhong? Isn't it just coveting Yizhou?

Now that Liangzhou has opened up the road to Yizhou, it indicates that Yizhou is almost in Liangzhou's bag, Dong Zhuo knows deeply, where is Yizhou's opponent?

So what should he Dong Zhuo do?

In an instant, Dong Zhuo thought through the cause and effect between the front and back, but it was difficult to make up his mind.

A day later, Xiangguofu issued an order ordering Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to immediately use troops against Hanzhong!

Even if there is little hope, Dong Zhuo still wants to compete with Li Zheng for the ownership of Yizhou!

But a few days later, Dong Zhuo got the news that the Liangzhou army in the northern part of Guanzhong, Shangjun and Xihe County, Gaonu - Tongtian Mountain had moved!

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he gritted his teeth, but he had to order Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to suspend military operations!

The entire Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Bingzhou, as well as Hanzhong and Yizhou in the south, the current situation is connected, and the whole body is affected!

Once Dong Zhuo uses troops against the south, Xiliang Li Zheng will definitely not watch it!

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo couldn't come up with any solution.

Inducements?

Then Li Zheng didn't care, Dong Zhuo was sure of this.

Bullying?

I can't do it anymore. It's not bad if he Dong Zhuo is not coerced by Li Zheng, but turning over and coercing Li Zheng is a joke!

Maybe you can get in touch with Yizhou?!

Dong Zhuo made up his mind.

Now in this area, Li Zheng is strong and Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan are weak.

To contend with Li Zheng, you can only form an alliance with each other!

That's it. Maybe yesterday he was fighting for life and death, but today he has become an ally of Yan Yan. Among the changes, not enough for outsiders also

It is said that Dong Zhuo wants to ally with Liu Yan and Zhang Lu to fight against Xiliang. After Li Zheng learned about this, he couldn't help laughing.

At the strategic level, Dong Zhuo's actions are extremely appropriate. However, for Li Zheng, he suddenly felt that the domineering Dong Zhongying had gradually died.

At the beginning, he fought in the south and the north, dared to abolish the emperor brazenly, and fought against the Kwantung princes. Now, Dong Zhuo has changed from a vigorous military strategist to a forward-looking politician, and a lame politician!

opened up the road to Yizhou, no matter what Dong Zhuo did, it was in vain.

Zhang Lu and Liu Yan may also have the intention of uniting Dong Zhuo, but they will definitely guard against Dong Zhuo, and the three families cannot be intimate. It is impossible for Zhang Lu and Liu Yan to let Dong Zhuo lead his troops into Hanzhong and Yizhou, right?

And Li Zheng can lead the army to drive straight into Chengdu and take it directly!

This gap in time and space cannot be bridged.

However, for the time being, the troops in Li Zheng's hands seem to be a little insufficient.

Earlier, the five major legions, plus the logistics personnel, totaled about 200,000. Later, the white wave thieves were captured, and 20,000 elites were selected, and the number of regular soldiers reached more than 170,000, plus the various divisions of the war cavalry, there were more than 180,000!

However, the Southern Army of Pang De's subordinate stationed at Longguan in Hanyang only had more than 30,000 people, and it was already stretched thin against Dong Zhuo's 100,000 army in Chen Cang. The two major armies in the north and the east also had to guard against Xianbei and coerce Hedong, and the western legions also had to guard against the countries of the Western Regions, so they couldn't draw more troops for a while!

After thinking about it, Li Zheng could only temporarily divide half of the troops and horses of the Western Army of Li Luo in Dunhuang and the Central Army of Zhangshan in Lingzhou and transfer them to the area of Wudu. As for the countries of the Western Regions, they have not been in direct contact for the time being, and there is no major problem.

However, the strength of the Central Army was weakened, and the internal defense was weak.

Therefore, what Li Zheng has to do next is to conscript!
