What Wei Tao did was only two points, raising the price of Han commodities and lowering the price of Xiongnu commodities.

Thinking of the situation that Wei's shop is now dominated by Mayi, and then thinking about the situation that those Huns have almost never visited Wei Tao in the past three months.

The faces of all the merchants showed a hint of ridicule, the Hun barbarians are the Hun barbarians, and even the routine worship and filial piety are unknown.

This matter is beneficial to most businessmen, as for the Huns barbarians, even if they are businessmen, they are optimistic that Wei Tao will suppress the Huns.

Therefore, Wei Tao's decision was naturally unanimously adopted.

Monopoly is the one that can obtain the highest profits.

Those businessmen may not be able to say the word 'monopoly', but that doesn't prevent them from knowing the profits that come with monopoly.

If there is another big market, then Wei Tao's move will undoubtedly damage the interests of merchants and will inevitably make the backlog of goods.

But now the Xiongnu want to get tea, salt and even iron to trade, only this Mayi.

Once the merchants of Mayi were united, the interests of the merchants were not half damaged, but all kinds of goods on the market were swept away, but all the goods that were transported were all bought by the various tribes of the Xiongnu.

It is also common for the Han to suppress the Xiongnu, and Wei Tao's actions made the various tribes of the Xiongnu think that maybe this is the suppression of the Han Dynasty, and the price will soar in the future.

Soon half a year passed, and Wei Tao did not continue to forcibly suppress the Huns after all.

That's the Huns, if it's for a momentary benefit, it will be angry, and provoke the Huns to go south, then it's really playing with fire**, and the gains outweigh the losses.

At this time, Wei Tao temporarily put down the matter of Mayi, and then came to the former cottage and now the barracks.

Zhang Liao is getting older and more heroic.

"Wen Yuan has worked hard."

Zhang Liao is worthy of being a famous general, and in less than a year, this important place in the military camp has become strictly regulated, and it is impossible to see that those people who stand up one by one are from bandits.

"This is still thanks to Ziyu, your strong support. If you hadn't ordered people to send meat one after another, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to train this 100-strong army just by relying on this cottage for self-sufficiency. ”

Zhang Liao's face also had a hint of pride that could not be concealed.

After more than half a year of training, there are only 100 people left, but these 100 people can already be ordered and forbidden, and they can be regarded as elite divisions.

Of course, for this matter, Wei Tao did not bother less, and all the commercial taxes obtained by Ma Yi were invested in this army.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Wen Yuan is too modest, if it weren't for Wen Yuan's talent, who would be able to train such a strong army. ”

Wei Tao looked at the hundred-man cavalry in front of him marching in formation, there was no trace of chaos between the gallops, and even Zhang Liao gave an order, everyone was able to stretch their bows and arrows on their horses, and arrows fell like rain.

Although it is not up to the average Hun who can maintain accuracy even on a horse, but even so, it is extraordinary.

"Wen Yuan, there is another thing that I want you to help now, I don't know if you are willing?"

Wei Tao didn't hide it at all, and said directly.

"The Huns sent someone to feast on me, what do you think?"

Hearing Wei Tao suddenly say this, Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said.

"I also know what Ziyu did, presumably because of General Wei Xu's change of guard at Yanmen Pass. The Huns wanted to use this oppression to make profits. ”

In the past year, the Zhang family has also obtained a lot of assets with the help of Wei Tao, so Zhang Liao can naturally guess what the Huns want to do.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu led people to sweep the grassland not long ago, the Xiongnu would have been hit hard, and they would not dare to provoke the annexation at this time, I am afraid that they would have been dissatisfied long ago.

Now that Yanmen Pass has changed its defense, Wei Xu and Gao Shun are different, Gao Shun is a square person, but although Wei Xu also has some courage, he is a little slippery in character.

I don't dare to continue, but this person is related to Lu Bu, and he is Lu Bu's brother-in-law.

Lu Bu is greedy, but this Wei Xu is similar, as soon as he takes office, he will reopen Yanmen Pass and then open trade routes, but unlike Gao Shun, Wei Xu will charge a high city fee.

As soon as there were many merchants, the goods in Ma Yi naturally increased, and without Gao Shun behind, although Wei Tao also tried his best to get along with Wei Xu, he also went to a backer.

It is no wonder that the Huns have become arrogant again.

"The Huns are just barbarians, and they can be subdued."

Wei Tao understands that although the Huns are not stupid, they do not know the twists and turns of the officialdom in the Central Plains.

Even he, the local parent official, was not able to get any benefits, so where could Wei Xu get any benefits.

The reason why Wei Xu opened Yanmen Pass was for money, not for their Huns.

"As for General Wei, I am familiar with him, so to speak. However, the Huns are not able to move, it all depends on the courage of you and me, Wen Yuan is willing to lead people to go with me? ”

"A wish follows!"

Zhang Liao was by no means a timid person, so he immediately responded, and then returned directly to Mayi with a hundred cavalry troops.

When a hundred horsemen entered the Mayi, all the people of the Mayi were terrified.

This is the fear of horse bandits for many years, but when Zhilu Dao this cavalry belongs to Wei Tao, all those who have a heart are indeed even more frightened.

Originally, after nearly a year of operation, Wei Tao has established a majestic image in the hearts of the people of Mayi, and now with the help of this hundred cavalry, it is like a tiger with wings, which makes people feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon after the 100 cavalry entered the Mayi, they saw that several horses had quietly left the Mayi and headed straight for the depths of the grassland.

It's a pity that although these Huns seem to be unconscious, Wei Tao thought about it early on, but this was originally to deter the other party, so Wei Tao naturally wouldn't stop it.

"Why don't Ziyu build a city?"

Zhang Liao and Wei Tao have been waiting on the city tower for a long time, and now the city wall of Mayi is still dilapidated, but there are four towers around it.

"If after some time, the Huns will recuperate, and then they will want to build a city again, I am afraid that the Huns will not allow it."

"Huh...... Wen Yuan, if General Lu Bu is here, even if every inch of this horse is gone, do you think the Huns will dare to attack? ”

Although because of Wei Tao, Zhang Liao may not be as powerful as he can see Lu Bu with his own eyes in history, but Lu Bu's name is still worshiped by everyone in the border passes, and Zhang Liao is no exception.

Although he only saw Lu Bu make a move at will, Lu Bu's strength was already in his heart......

If Lu Bu is here, then the Huns must not have such courage!

"Although we are far inferior to General Lu, we might as well take General Lu as our ambition, not to mention that we can reach General Lu's ability, but we can't let the Huns take a step beyond the thunder pool."

I have to say that when Wei Tao said this, Zhang Liao's heart was also hot, and he immediately shook his head.

"May I follow the ambition of Ziyu!"

Although the Huns were also invited, Wei Tao did not need to leave immediately.

Taking advantage of this time, Wei Tao arrived at Deyanmen Pass.

Since the change of guard at Yanmen Pass a month ago, Wei Tao came in person for the first time.

Unlike when Gao Shun was stationed, except for the occasional caravan that could pass at noon, Yanmen Pass is now a bit of a busy scene.

If it weren't for the soldiers on both sides who were still looking at each other, I'm afraid Wei Tao would still think that this was a busy market.

"Please report it, Mayi County Lieutenant Wei Tao asks to see General Wei Xu."

Wei Tao went to the Yanmen Mansion, and directly handed it over, and at the same time handed the housekeeper a piece of silver.

"Wait! I'll give you a good shout, and it depends on your luck if the general sees you or not! ”

Seeing Wei Xu like this, Wei Tao only sighed in his heart, Gao Shun has always shared the joys and hardships with the soldiers, no matter how hard and tired he is, he has not changed, but he has not done Wei Xu's style.

However, no matter what Wei Xu was, when he heard that Wei Tao was coming, he still came to greet him in person.

Not only because Wei Tao has had a constant relationship with him over the past year, but also because Wei Tao has always been a child of the Chen Liushi family, which cannot be ignored.

"That Ma Yi didn't hear very well, why didn't Ziyu want to return it? If Ziyu thinks to himself, I am willing to ask the adults to let Ziyu return, there are not many, and within the state, as long as there is a vacancy in any county, it can be chosen by Ziyu. ”

Wei Xu said this very confidently, although he lost his military power, Lu Bu was still the first person in the state, even Ding Yuan had to rely on more.

"Thank you general, although Ma Yi is hard, but thinking about the name of my ancestor Wei Qing, I and other juniors naturally can't help but struggle."

Wei Tao replied with a slight smile.

A lie can come true a thousand times, not to mention that it's not a lie.

However, Wei Tao didn't make much politeness, and soon got to the point.

"This time I came to Yanmen Pass, but I had a big business to discuss with the general."

"Business? I'm not going to do business. ”

said that, but Wei Xu's eyes lit up, and even his tone couldn't help but be kind.

"But I still have some understanding of this business, why don't Ziyu say more?"

"The general also knows that my tax revenue is not bad now, especially after the arrival of the general."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, knowing that his words had hit Wei Xu's soft underbelly.

"Yes, yes, today's Ma Yi tax is even a little surprising to the history of the assassin, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid Lord the history of the assassin would not let me come to Yanmen Pass."

Hearing Wei Xuyi's words, Wei Tao was slightly surprised, but then he suddenly realized, indeed, if there was no special reason, how could Ding Yuan remove the garrison of Yanmen Pass at will?

But soon, Wei Xu's expression was stunned.

"But isn't the business Ziyu talking about the weapons business? You must know that my Han has a law, and it is strictly forbidden to trade weapons with the Huns, and those who violate it will not be spared. My lord also gave me several instructions when I came. ”

In an instant, Wei Xu seemed to have turned his face.
