Jingcheng Pass was breached, and the news of Zhou Hu's capture quickly spread throughout Jingcheng Town, some people were happy and some were worried, and the businessmen who were exploited and intimidated by Zhou Hu naturally applauded, but the Zhou family was panicked.

Wang Gangchu and Yu brought two hundred cavalry to Jingcheng Pass in the afternoon, and after listening to Wu Zhao's report, they were also furious, but fortunately, there were no casualties, only a few soldiers were slightly injured.

"You go and lead the cavalry to arrest all the people in the Zhou family"

"Yes," Wu Zhao happily took the order and left.

And Wang Gang and Chu Yu came to the stone room, which was also the purpose of his coming to Jingcheng Pass.

The stone room is opened, and the inside is very spacious, similar to the Yanmen Pass, and now Wang Gang faintly understands in his heart that this Jingcheng Pass and Yanmen Pass, Tongguan should be the same level of level, and it should be an intermediate level.

Chu Yu stepped forward and moved the stone platform away, revealing the square below. Wang Gang put the exchange device in, and the stone platform slowly closed.

The exchange device is turned on.

Please verify your identity......

It has been linked to Yanmen Pass.

Resources are being explored within a radius of 20 km.

The opening of Jingcheng Pass is of great significance to Wang Gang, first of all, it can be associated with the lady not far away, attack and defend each other, and it can also be used as a stronghold to respond to Shangdang County, which is Tongguan.

"Let's go, let's go to Niangziguan to have a look"

"Do you want to inform Wu Zhao over there, I'm afraid that he will act recklessly," Chu Yu said with some unease.

"It's okay, it's a big deal to bleed and kill, it doesn't matter, anyway, the Zhou family can't stay"

Hearing Wang Gang say this, Chu Yu naturally understood what Wang Gang meant, and didn't say more, and followed Wang Gang towards Niangziguan.

Niangzi Pass is more than 20 miles away from Jingcheng Pass, and the two of them rode war horses and arrived in about half an hour.

When he arrived at the Niangzi Pass, Wang Gang was surprised by the situation in front of him, and the originally short wall had been reinforced. On the side of the hill were also built two arrow towers and a beacon. If there is an enemy situation, the beacon is lit, and the defenders of Jingcheng Pass can also be quickly reinforced.

When the two entered the pass, a large amount of ore had been piled up in the valley, like a small mountain, and the soldiers in the distance guarded the hundreds of Hugh slaughterers to transport the ore out of the mine, and the miners were mining in the cave. With the addition of these hundreds of Hutu people, the efficiency has really improved a lot.

The two came to the stone room of Niangzi Pass, turned on the exchange device, and sold all the ores in the valley. He received more than 30 million copper coins. Although the sudden disappearance of the ore puzzled Hugh Tu, it was obviously not the first time that this situation had happened, and it was not surprising.

"I will open the authority of Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng Pass to you, and you were responsible for repairing these two levels a year ago. It's better to tie the two levels closer together and recruit more people. Widening the road leading to Yanmen Pass to at least allow for horse-drawn carriages will be beneficial to the development of Yanmen County."

"But when a businessman enters the Niangzi Pass, it will cause unnecessary trouble. At that time, I am afraid that the situation of Niangziguan will be spread out" Chu Yu is not too in favor of letting Niangziguan pass through businessmen, he still thinks it is better to seal it up like this.

"It's okay, when that time comes, the matter of Niangzi's mining should come to an end. When the time comes, these miners and Hugh slaughterers will be transferred to the side mining"

Wang Gang didn't think that he had been mining in Niangziguan. Although Niangziguan is very rich in mineral reserves, he doesn't want to sell all the ores to the exchange device, and there is no way to solve this matter when he finds another way. Now we can only collect a little less.

Chu Yu also understood Wang Gang's intentions, and nodded silently.

"I want to open up trade with the West, and strive to build Taiyuan into a trade distribution center, where all Jingcheng customs will not be charged customs duties in the future, and the merchants who pass by will be free of charge and will not charge any fees. Including the tavern inn in the small town of Jingcheng, it is also free of charge, and you have to find a way to spread the word about it."

"Governor of Trade, I'm not very familiar with it, can the general let Mr. Fan preside over it?"

"I know you're not familiar with it, isn't there no one now. Mr. Fan still wants to stay in Jinyang, and I can't even fool you in Jinyang," Wang Gang said angrily.

Chu Yu listened to Wang Gang's words, his face was embarrassed, and then he spoke again.

"The general can let the third lady come to preside, the third lady is very talented in business, friendly to others, and she takes the lead. I think the business development of Taiyuan will be much faster"

Wang Gang suddenly slapped his head, yes, how could he forget Zhang Yue'er.

Immediately, he wrote two letters, one to Zhang Qian, the commander of Luoyang, and the other to the county lord of Huanting, asking them to help them build momentum in Luoyang, which may attract a large number of businessmen.

By the time Wang had just finished everything and came to Yanmen again, Wu Zhao had already arrested all the people of the Zhou family, and all the Zhou family's industries in Jingcheng Town had also been seized, with hundreds of millions of copper coins and countless grains and cloths.

The women and children of the Zhou family, as well as the guards and thugs of the Zhou family, a total of more than 130 people, Wang Gang looked at these people, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, it was not that he was soft-hearted, but he could not bear to kill them all like this.

Chu Yu saw Wang Gang's thoughts, stepped forward and said.

"The general can order, and the businessman will expose it, and all those who extort and oppress the people will be killed, and the rest of the old and young will be sent to Luoyang and handed over to the imperial court for processing."

Merchants from all over the town came to watch, watching the Zhou family unlucky, and some businessmen applauded.

Wang Gang ordered the merchants to expose the report, and one by one they stepped forward enthusiastically, and immediately made a noise, and the people of the Zhou family were even more frightened, and they knelt there and pleaded with Wang Gang.

Wang Gang escorted the identified Zhou family to the side, and with Wang Gang's order, dozens of heads rolled off, and the businessmen cheered.

Wang Gang stood on a high place and waved his hand, signaling the merchants to be quiet.

"I am the new Bingzhou Mu Wang Gang, the Zhou family occupies Jingcheng Pass, exploits business travel, suppresses goodness, and is extremely evil. From now on, there will be no customs duties or money charged for entering and exiting the Jingcheng Pass, but if anyone asks for it, please report it to me, and the Zhou family will be their fate today."

After listening to the words of the Zhou family, the merchants immediately cheered. Wang Gang stretched out his hand and pressed it twice, and continued.

"Now that the state is suffering from war, everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and the people are even more hungry and cold. It is necessary for all merchants to transport supplies to the state, especially grain and cloth. Please also ask all the merchants to work hard, and this official is also here to keep it, and I will write to Your Majesty. If you are troubled by the government anywhere in the state, you can also report to the official, and the official will not tolerate it."

After Wang Gang finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the merchants.

How dare the merchants accept Wang Gang's salute, they knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to Wang Gang.

"Okay, let's all disperse, the restaurant inn in the gate is temporarily closed, and you will be able to stay for free tomorrow. And the matter of grain in the state, I will have to worry you a lot."

"Don't worry, we'll go now"

"Yes, there is a state pastor's words, and you can go if you lose money."

In fact, these businessmen are extremely shrewd, especially those who have just returned from Jinyang, this morning's grain price has risen to 450 yuan of rice, Luoyang is only 100 yuan of rice, and the huge profits of them are eye-catching.
