Standing up for words and deeds is one of the countless virtues of the wise lord Yu Buzhi.

Teleported Fu Shi, unified his position with Zhu Jun, and then flew straight to Yecheng and entered the state pastoral mansion.

When he saw Yuan Shao, he claimed that Zhu Jun planned to establish Hu City in Hetao and pull himself in, hoping to use the power of the ant caravan to open Hu City. He repeatedly weighed that it was risky to establish Hu City only by relying on the power of the deer leader and the county, and it was difficult to support the smooth operation of Hu City, so he spent hundreds of kilograms of saliva to persuade Zhu Cheqi to change the original intention of the two families to monopolize Hu City, absorb more businesses, and jointly make Hu City bigger. The first thing I thought of was Brother Ben, and I came to ask Brother Ben if he had any intentions.

Can Yuan Shao say that he doesn't want to participate?

No, he's not stupid!

So Yu Buzhi took the opportunity to mention the Zhen family in Zhongshan, hoping that the Zhen family would set an example and support and participate in the construction of Hu City. Yuan Shao naturally has no opinion, the Zhen family is rich and rivals the country, but the businessman has no status in these years, the Zhen family has already gotten on the chariot of the Yuan family, and the Zhen family branch does not support Shangjun Hu City, it all depends on Yuan Shao's meaning. What's more, after the establishment of Hu City, the Zhen family is bound to get a piece of the pie, the Zhen family makes more money, and the Jizhou government can get more benefits, why not?

Yuan Shao was very moved by Hu City, but he was very deep in the city, and he was obviously eager to join the gang immediately, but he wanted to make a gesture of disinterest first, twist it, and then "reluctantly deal with it for the sake of unwise face", during which he inevitably bargained for the share of merchants in the Jizhou Mansion camp. Fortunately, Yuan Shao is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, knowing that Zhu Jun and Yu Buzhi have joined forces and already have the ability to open Hu City, and looking for Jizhou is to reduce the difficulty, and he is not indispensable, so he has no hope of seeking the dominant position of Hu City at all.

Yuan Shao said euphemistically that he hoped to occupy more market share in Shangjun and Ba County. Yu Buzhi agreed angrily, this is expected, no matter Yuan Shao's strength and status among the princes, or the appeal of the Zhen family among the Han merchants, it is indeed qualified to eat more and occupy more. Besides, how to divide it is still necessary for everyone to sit down and negotiate repeatedly, and now it is only a preliminary intention, and the establishment of Hu City as soon as possible is the main topic.

Everyone took what they needed, everyone was happy, and Yu Buzhi got a letter of introduction from the caravan by the way and left.

Fly to Beiping.

Zhulu Ling remained neutral in the struggle for hegemony in Hebei and did not stand on any side, Hetao Hu City found Yuan Shao, thinking that he should still talk to Gongsun Zhan to see if Beiping was interested in mixing, and by the way took a letter of introduction. The focus is on the latter, with Yu Buzhi's understanding of Youbeiping, the merchant power under Gongsun Chan is quite shabby, not to mention that there is Hu City in the upper valley of Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan does not need to be far away.

After leaving Beiping, he returned to Fushi again and informed Zhu Jun of the results of the negotiations.

"Jizhou nodded, the establishment of Hetaohu City can be expected, and you have a good relationship with Yuan Shao recently." Zhu Jun said, for a while, Yu Buzhi hated Yuan Shao so much, Zhu Jun knew, this time Yu Buzhi went to find Yuan Shao, Zhu Jun thought that there would be a few rounds of negotiation before the result, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to agree so happily.

Yu Buzhi smiled: "I can do it without him, it's just a little troublesome, and besides, he still wants to buy a horse." ”

"Leave some for the old man."

"You want?"

"Always wanted!" Zhu Jun sighed with emotion: "I didn't have money before, don't you want to build Hu City, if you have money, ...... you?"

"I wonder why you don't have any ideas about horses, you can talk if you don't have money, as long as I don't need money urgently, it shouldn't be a big deal to give you a few hundred horses on credit, but not in the past few years, cultivate the population." Yu Buzhi said seriously.

"Understood." Zhu Jun smiled with satisfaction, feeling that he really didn't see the wrong person, he deserved to be a loyal and upright person, and what was even more rare was that Yu Buzhi had this heart, and Zhu Jun, who was in a good mood, stroked his beard and told Yu Buzhi another good news, "I sent an urgent report to Cao Mengde, and Mengde is willing to give full support." ”

Yu Buzhi thinks that if the Hetao needs to take the upper route to open Hu City, then simply do it thoroughly, and he can find the princes to do it simply, so why bother the people below to repeatedly argue with those merchants? Since you can find Yuan Shao to deal with the Zhen family, can you find other princes to deal with other big businesses? When I told Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun also thought so, and volunteered to be responsible for negotiating with Cao Mengde.

Why look for Cao Cao?

The four major merchants, the Zhongshan Zhen family supported Yuan Shao, the Donghai Mi family supported Tao Qian, the Chen Liuwu family supported Liu Yan, the other Hedong Wei family, and the contemporary head of the family, Wei Qi, was a staunch supporter of Cao Cao. The four major merchants, with the Zhongshan Zhen family is the strongest, but in the field of trade with the Hu people, no one can compete with the Wei family, the main business of the Wei family in Hedong is to trade with the Hu people, and the opening of the Hu market in Hetao has the greatest impact on the existing interests of the Wei family, theoretically speaking, the Wei family is most likely to become a staunch opponent of the Hu city in Hetao in order to defend their own interests.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and as soon as the Hetao Hu City opens, it is difficult for the Wei family not to be damaged, so they will naturally try their best to obstruct it, which is why Zhu Jun decided to negotiate with Cao Cao.

The other two major merchants, the Mi family's main business is reclamation, and they have a large amount of land and a large number of tenants, if not, it is impossible to raise nearly 10,000 servants and diners. The ant caravan has three main businesses, one of which is grain, and it has long cooperated with the Mi family, but considering that the Mi family's business is too far away from Hu City, it doesn't matter whether it is looking for the Mi family or not. As for the Wu family, they are actually quite influential in the field of trade with the Hu people, second only to the Hedong Wei family, but for some reason, Yu Buzhi directly excluded the Wu family.

The four major merchants, the Zhen family, which has the strongest comprehensive strength, and the Wei family, which has the heaviest weight in the Hu people's trade field, plus the strength of Shangjun and Zhululing, there will be no big suspense about the smooth establishment of Hetao Hu City.

Fish don't know this.

Yu Buzhi has no friendship with Cao Cao, but Zhu Jun has, after all, he is a general in the court, Cao Cao's age and military qualifications are juniors, when the Yizhou rebellion was upgraded to a regional camp mission, Zhu Jun was ordered to quell the rebellion, and Cao Cao served under Zhu Jun's account at that time. In addition, Zhu Jun is loyal to the Han family and has a very high reputation, and the young Cao Cao is also a hot-blooded young man loyal to the imperial court, and he respects Zhu Jun very much, and Zhu Jun feels that he can negotiate with Cao Cao.

Talking to Cao Cao was the idea that Zhu Jun thought of temporarily when Yu Buzhi said that he wanted to find Yuan Shao, and then the two acted separately, Yu Buzhi sent Jizhou to find Yuan Shao, and Zhu Jun sent a player urgent report to Cao Cao. The player's teleportation arrived almost instantly, and Yu Buzhi made rapid progress, and then he didn't delay much time when he went to Beiping, but he didn't expect that just after returning to Fushi, Cao Cao had actually replied to Zhu Jun.

Yu Buzhi was surprised: "What does Cao Mengde want?" ”

"Not requires." Zhu Jun slowly walked to the window and stood with his hands in his hands, "I said that I needed Hu Shi's revenue to expand the army in order to enter the Qingjun side of Chang'an, and Meng De wrote directly and said that he would let the Wei family fully cooperate." ”

"Didn't mention how much share the Wei family has?"

"Nope."

Yu Buzhi was speechless for a long time, no matter what Cao Cao would become in the future, at least in the matter of Hetao Hu City, Cao Cao was much more righteous than Yuan Shao. You must know that Yanzhou is deeply poisoned by the Yellow Turban, the population has plummeted, the economy is sluggish, and life is much more difficult than Yuan Shao's Jizhou, and Hu City directly affects the Wei family's business, which is equivalent to cutting Cao Cao's meat.

"The Wei family will send someone to Fushi soon," Zhu Jun paused, turned around, looked at Yu Buzhi and said calmly: "The preparation of Hu City is in charge of the dragon leader, and the old man has a request, if he can, try to let the Wei family suffer less losses." ”

Yu Buzhi did not hesitate, and said solemnly: "Okay." ”

Soon, the news that Shangjun would establish Hu City spread all over Shenzhou, and also spread to the Hu tribes in Hetao.

As soon as the news came out, the Zhen family of Zhongshan and the Wei family of Hedong publicly expressed their support for the establishment of Hu City in Hetao, and announced that the leading figures of the clan had gone to Fushi to discuss the specific details. The two wealthy businessmen responded immediately, and the discerning people knew that they had passed the gas in advance, which meant that it was only a matter of time before the Hetao established the Hu market.

Of course, not entirely without suspense.

Many people are waiting for Chang'an's reaction.

Shangjun is in the north of Sili, and everyone knows that Zhu Jun is bent on defeating the Liangzhou army and returning the authority to the Han Emperor, but Shangjun is newly restored, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and Zhu Jun lacks the capital to move westward. However, after the establishment of Shangjun Hu City, the financial problems that plagued Zhu Jun will be greatly alleviated, how can the Liangzhou Group in Chang'an endure it?

The Liangzhou Group didn't even let out a fart.

Facts have proved that martial arts can bend and stretch.

Li Wei, who worked hard to transform into a strategist, vetoed the surging war spirit within the Liangzhou group and refused to preemptively attack the county for this purpose. Li Dao only used one sentence to block the mouths of other martial artists: "They all have long brains, who is behind the Zhen family and the Wei family?" Who the wants to start a war with the Kwantung princes, go by yourself, don't harm the big guys! ”

The Liangzhou army does not make a hindrance, and the other princes have no reason to oppose it, after all, the person standing on the stage is Zhu Jun, and there is also the support of Yuan Shao, the head of ASEAN, and Cao Cao, the pastor of Yanzhou, behind the stage, unless you want to join forces with the Liangzhou army, no one can point fingers at Shangjun Hu City. Since it is irreversible, Zhu Jun also said that he welcomes more businesses to settle in Shangjunhu City, and merchants from all walks of life have sent people to Fushi City, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Rip-off, negotiation, round after round.

The ant caravan appeared as a merchant directly under Zhu Jun, with a transcendent status that no one dared to challenge.

Zhu Jun's prestige is high enough, and the Zhen family and the Wei family are cooperative enough, especially the Wei family, gritting their teeth and cutting themselves, other forces that want to eat more and occupy more are not right, and quickly adjust their thinking, less temptation, more pragmatism, and the preparatory work of Shangjun Hu City is advancing at an astonishing speed, and the progress is gratifying.

The division of commercial interests is no less than fighting in battle, the winner wins a big victory, and the loser sheds blood.

There is no suspense about the biggest winner, the ant caravan.

There is no suspense about the biggest loser, no one thought in advance that it was the Wu family, one of the four major merchants.

Chen left most of the Wu family to enter Shu with Wu Yi, but most of the Wu family's business was still in the Central Plains, and the share of trade with the Hu people was second only to the Wei family, which should have been an important merchant in Hu City. However, the ant caravan did not treat the Wu family at the beginning, and the Zhen family and the Wei family were both foxes who had become fine, and they decisively fell into the well, vigorously squeezing out the Wu family, and finally forced the Wu family to give up Hetaohu City in anger, and the Zhen family and the Wei family each grabbed part of the benefits.

Three months later, Longlinghu City officially opened.

Yu Buzhi did not continue to follow up on the construction of Hu City.

In fact, a few days after returning from Hebei, Yu Buzhi hurried to the plateau enclave.

Gao Yuan Qiang sent an ultimatum, demanding that the deer leader give up the enclave and leave the plateau, otherwise he will see you on the battlefield.

Signed, King Qiang.
