Under the conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, it could not be as convenient as the transmission of information in later generations, and it was not even very accurate.

The exchange is also the most primitive and humble model, but even this is enough to attract merchants from all over the world.

Taking advantage of the situation, setting up a chamber of commerce is also a breeze.

Moreover, Cao Bin also wants to establish a vast intelligence network, and now it is time to lay the foundation with the help of the exchange.

It should be said that the essence of the port is in this exchange.

With this exchange alone, Cao Bin can make a lot of money.

These days, Xiangyang is more lively than before, first the nobles of Bianjing came to buy land and invest money, and then merchants from all over the country.

The more businessmen come and go, the more opportunities to make money.

It can be said that a port and an exchange have directly raised the prosperity of Xiangyang City to a higher level.

After Wang Tongju returned to the Yamen, he was already shocked by Cao Bin and said:

"Uncle, your method is too powerful, I found that this exchange can not only help people sell local specialties, but also stabilize prices."

Cao Bin smiled: "In the future, you will find that it is much more than that." ”

However, the exchange also needs conditions, and if there is no smooth information channel, it is difficult to play its due role.

His investment in this area will be no less than the cost of building a port.

Bao Mian said proudly:

"I have long known that Uncle Cao is far-sighted, and he only takes office for half an hour every day, so that Xiangyang can be stable and more prosperous, what a genius through the ages!"

Wang Tongju was a little speechless, and he didn't make it easier and easier for you to call, so he had time to be lazy?

Only half an hour? If you try a little harder, he may not come for half an hour.

At this moment, the head of the official team walked in and said ashamedly: "Uncle, the traitor has been caught, but I didn't expect it to be my subordinate." ”

Wang Tongju hurriedly said: "Sure enough, it was someone in the yali who leaked the news to the outside world? ”

Cao Bin didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Let him tell who is behind the scenes, and then arrest him......"

That Yunxiao Daily often gets inside information, scolding him from various angles, if he didn't want the other party to lose more money, he would have done it a long time ago.

In fact, as he expected, these days, Cai Xiao has lost money and his face is green.

Although the cost of the newspaper is not much, it can't stand the large amount, plus Cao Bin specially sent someone to buy their newspaper, Cai Xiao has to lose thousands of taels of silver almost every day.

Counting other costs such as manpower and printing presses, in more than half a month, he lost almost seventy or eighty thousand taels.

It was his father's hard-earned money.

It was not easy for him to ask for so much money himself, and his heart was bleeding every day as he watched the batches of newspapers go out.

I just feel that every day is torment.

There is no other way, he can only hope that Cao Bin will not be able to hold on sooner and quickly raise the price of the newspaper.

At this moment, Wang Gongzi suddenly ran in and said excitedly:

"Brother Cai, I got a piece of news, it turns out that those merchants gave the Da Song Daily silver in order to publicize it."

"Even if we sell newspapers for a penny, we can make money!"

Hearing this, Cai Xiao's eyes suddenly widened and said, "You mean, Cao Bin has never lost money these days?" ”

Wang Gongzi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes...... Right? ”

Cai Xiao suddenly shouted: "I was deceived by the surname Cao again......"

After saying that, he was dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Wang Gongzi was about to help him, when a group of officials suddenly rushed in and shouted:

"How dare you bribe the officials and buy the inside information of the state government? Come with us. ”

Before they could react, the two were locked up.

Cai Xiao hurriedly struggled and said: "I am the son of Taifu Cai Jing, which of you dares to arrest me?" ”

The prince also hurriedly said: "We are picking ...... normally Interview! There is never a bribe. ”

Several officials were stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, but Lu Zhishen walked in with a bloody Zen staff, and said angrily:

"What are you doing in a daze, what about Cai Jing, will Uncle Cao be afraid of him?"

As he spoke, he went down with two Zen sticks and slapped them on the necks of the two.

"Wozhi, you ......"

Cai Xiao didn't expect this guy to really dare to start, he rolled his eyes, there was no bone, and he fell down softly.

Lu Zhishen was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Take a look, are they dead?" ”

When Cai Xiao and the others woke up again, they were already in the state prison.

Wang Gongzi rubbed his neck and said worriedly:

"Brother Cai, what now? Cao Bin shouldn't let us go easily. ”

Cai Xiao was silent for a long time and said:

"It's okay, we're just bribing the officials to buy some news, and he doesn't dare to do anything to us."

"It's just a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to incite the people to rebel and take the opportunity to impeach him."

"Unexpectedly, he has some talents, and this Xiangyang is getting more and more ...... A sign of prosperity. ”

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the dark corner, which made Cai Xiao and the others jump in fright.

They hadn't noticed just now that there was a person hiding in the corner of the cell.

The man said:

"Who says there is no chance to stir the people to revolt?"

"As long as a certain family is allowed to go out, let alone bring down Cao Bin, it will be his life."

Cai Xiao said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "Seven Buddha ...... below"

Xiangzhou Mansion Yali.

At this time, Cao Bin was listening to Yang Zhi's report on the reorganization of the soldiers of the nine counties.

Since Cao Bin still holds the post of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses, he has the responsibility of managing these troops.

So it takes a bit of thought, but it's not that hard.

Previously, the infiltration of the army by the king of Xiangyang was too serious, and all the generals and colonels were censored.

In this case, as long as Cao Bin is strict with military discipline, he can ensure basic stability.

If they are given enough upward channels, the morale of the soldiers will not be low, let alone cause trouble.

"Uncle, do you want to inspect the garrisons in various places?"

Yang Zhi said with longing in his eyes.

Cao Bin didn't bother to move, so he shook his head and said:

"Benjue still wants to sit in Xiangzhou, so he won't go!"

Yang Zhi just felt disappointed, and Wang Tong came to report:

"Uncle, Zhan's guards came to Xiangzhou to borrow troops, saying that they would encircle and suppress a group of robbers who had colluded with the king of Xiangyang."

"Master Bao is also waiting in Yicheng County, do you want to borrow it?"

Cao Bin gave him a blank look, and was about to speak, but Bao Mian suddenly passed him a note.

Cao Bin glanced at it and said, "Forget it, Benjue should go in person." ”

Send everyone away, and Cao Bin will operate in the system.

Because before Yang Zhi came in to report, he had just gathered the points needed for "Advanced Bajiquan Mastery......
