"Something happened, and it's a big thing, there is a defensive gap in Zhongzhou. Xue Tianhan's face was extremely gloomy.

To be honest, she didn't expect that Zhongzhou, a place where the wind and clouds converge, would have a defensive gap. The war against the extraterritorial races hundreds of years ago directly caused the people's livelihood in the land of the five states to wither for a hundred years.

Now that the land of the Five States has finally recovered a little bit of vitality, these extraterritorial races actually want to do things again.

Xue Tianhan was ready to use a knife to split the heads of these guys to see what was inside, how to make these guys so belligerent?

Not many of these things are in vain, and now that foreign races are going to invade, they, as aborigines, naturally have to resist.

The only thing that made Xue Tianhan feel troublesome was that this time he found a gap again. Finding a gap means closing a gap.

It is not so easy to plug a gap, which means that there must be a million garrisons.

Now the largest gap in the land of Zhongzhou was blocked by the cooperation of the two dynasties of the Middle Zhou and the Middle Han Dynasty. These two dynasties, only when they are here, will not fight.

As for why they don't fight, 10,000 or even 20,000 people die in a battle with an external enemy every day, and in such a situation, who is in the mood to fight inward? Isn't this purely uncomfortable for yourself?

The second gap was defended by the various tribes of Northern Yan and Northern State.

The third gap was defended by the Southern Barbarian Lands and the 36 countries of Southern Xinjiang.

The fourth gap is the defense of the Dongzhou countries above Dongzhou, these Dongzhou countries usually fight quite badly, but the civil war is an insider, a foreign war outsider, every time they are beaten to the head of the rat, and now it is in name only.

At least, as far as Xue Tianhan knows, there is a special Modao battalion in Nantang that is responsible for this gap rescue.

Now the fifth gap is naturally going to be the turn of Xizhou, and this gap is the sixth gap.

The land of the five states has been arranged, and now the sixth gap is for the major dynasties to send troops. This time, the emperor of the Middle Zhou Dynasty had already said that he was ready to do it once and for all.

What is called once and for all, that is, to be ready to completely seal this gap, or even counterattack outside the territory.

In any case, there is an unprecedented Armageddon waiting for you, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and now is the time for the various dynasties to mobilize the grain and grass.

The Western Qin Dynasty had just finished fighting with the Southern Tang Dynasty, but now the economy of the Western Song Dynasty is not very good, and the food in the mutual market is pitiful.

Now the collection of grain and grass, I am afraid that there will be peace in all parts of the country at that time. Raising an army to rebel is a matter of minutes, but it is not possible to collect grain, and if you do not collect grain, you will not be able to pay the difference.

The Middle Zhou Dynasty also brought the suzerainty of Western Qin, and if the task assigned by the suzerainty was not completed, the suzerainty had the right to launch an attack on the vassal state.

And this time the attack, Xue Tianhan can be guaranteed, Zhongzhou will definitely not be the help of the battle, the Western Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty are already eyeing each other at this time, presumably these two dogs will be happy to do it for them at that time.

Thinking of this, Xue Tianhan couldn't wait to kill all these guys outside the territory directly.

"At this time, if you want to collect grain, it is inevitably unrealistic. Qin Shuang had already said it very tactfully.

In fact, there are still these grains, but these grains are in the hands of the family. Although the court of the Western Qin Dynasty nominally controlled the entire territory of Western Qin, it still had to rely on these families in terms of local governance.

Without him, it is because these families have the vast majority of money and food in their hands.

As long as these families are willing, then they can raise a war army armed to the teeth in a very short time, these soldiers are the sharpest knives, and the rebels who are attached to these soldiers may even dare to change the sun and the moon.

Now if Xue Tianhan wants to collect grain, then what can be fought is the idea of those big families.

But if you really want to move the business of these big families, I'm afraid that those big families will resist in a very short time.

"You don't have to worry about these problems at all, the grain in Hexi Province and Hedong Province has already begun to come out. At this time, Zheng Ye heard something and walked over directly.

"How is this possible?" Xue Tianhan was stunned.

You must know that Hexi Road and Hedong Road are the two places closest to the Hejian Plain. That is to say, once the king of Hejian rebels, the rebels will directly enter Hexi Road and Hedong Road, and at that time, these grains will be the life-saving things of these families.

But now, on the eve of the rebellion of the king of Hejian County, these families are actually selling grain, which is very abnormal.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, because if they don't sell their food now, I'm afraid that no one will come to buy it in the future. Zheng Ye smiled extremely sinisterly, "At this time, it is a good opportunity to buy grain, but I don't know how much money the Ministry of Civil Affairs can come up with." ”

"You go and collect the grain first, and I'll give you an IOU later. Xue Tianhan said helplessly.

Although I don't know exactly what is going on, as long as there is food, you can make a difference. As for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hehe, the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, wasn't it possible to run horses and starve to death rats that year?

To expect that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be able to come up with money to buy grain, and then reinforce the front, is dreaming.

The relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal state must be maintained, but there must also be a limit, and you can't say that you want food, you want food, and if you say you want people, you want people, but you have to discuss it.

But Xue Tianhan knew that these people's ministries, as well as the scholars of the imperial court, would only do bad things.

This resistance to extraterritorial invasion is not something that can be measured by money and food. This kind of thing is not discussed, so she can only cut it first and then play it now, and she doesn't believe that when she takes the IOU of the Ministry of Civil Affairs that she made to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for an account, these old guys from the Ministry of Civil Affairs dare not give it.

These guys, in order to save their heads, I'm afraid they will rack their brains to cut out money for you.

Zheng Ye smiled, and then said, "This food is not a problem, I can give it to you, but I have one condition." ”

Xue Tianhan frowned, there is no such good thing in this world, real money is not needed, but it is a condition, this condition, I am afraid that it is much more expensive than these real money.

"Talk, I'll listen, but it's better not to go too far. Xuanniaowei, the gold-lettered signboard, borrowing some money, should not be a problem. ”

Xue Tianhan said half warning, half serious, she was really afraid that someone would open her mouth. As for the murderous reputation of Xuanniaowei, now is a critical moment for transformation, and it can't be too much.

Of course, the subtext of not going too far is that it doesn't matter if it's too much, these families can only obediently hand over their share of money in the end.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just the local taxes, those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, you exempted me from it. I just want the local taxes to be completely exempted, and as for the customs side, I will pay them all at once. ”

Zheng Ye said that as a businessman, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the local area are the places she criticizes the most.

Although the taxes collected at one time are not very much, they add up to an absolute nightmare for businessmen. Being able to tie Xuanniaowei's thigh now means that these taxes will have nothing to do with him in the future, and all the money he earns at that time will be his own.

Xue Tianhan didn't realize what was wrong with this, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "But I also have a condition, the grain harvested this time must not be less than 100,000 taels of gold." And this condition has a time limit, ten years. ”

Although Zheng Ye was a little dissatisfied with the ten-year deadline in the future, he had already successfully negotiated, so there was no reason to refuse.

Besides, within ten years, she didn't believe that the imperial court had not encountered any major difficulties. As long as there is a big difficulty, you can still trade, there are two and there are three, and after a long time, this temporary becomes permanent.

"I am also this condition, the Langya Chamber of Commerce will fully support Xuanniaowei's grain. Qin Shuang said directly.

Although I don't know what the use of this exemption from exorbitant taxes is, a shrewd person like Zheng Ye should not make a mistake. In this case, there is nothing wrong with a layman who plagiarizes the other party's ideas.

As for the specific benefits of this exemption from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, or rather, what are the benefits, Qin Shuang still decided to go back and ask those bigwigs in the clan.

I believe that these elve-like existences must be able to see the cattiness inside at a glance. Now, there is only one thing that Qin Shuang can be sure of, that is, the current Xue Tianhan has suffered a big loss, and he is afraid that he will find a way to tear off a piece of meat from Zheng Ye in the future.

Zheng Ye will be torn off a piece of meat by her Xue Tianhan, but their Langya Chamber of Commerce is not afraid of this.

And inside the Shadow Chamber of Commerce Conference Hall on Hexi Road

"Is it already decided?" asked Rail, a little incredulous.

"Yes, I'm already sure. Now the president has raised a large amount of gold and silver outside the territory, as long as we come back this time, then we can have a large amount of gold and silver in our hands, not to mention the Western Qin, Western Song and Southern Tang, even if it is Zhongzhou, or even the United Chamber of Commerce, I dare to fight. ”

Lan Zhanhe said that he was extremely confident, fighting, he may not be as good as others, but when it comes to business warfare, his self-confidence is not weaker than anyone else.

Except, of course, Qin Yue's guy. This guy is always able to get a lot of cash by some means.

Before, Lan Zhanhe had also thought about fighting against Qin Yue and having the consequences of a business war. The final result was nothing more than that he tried his best, lost both, and completely squeezed out the wealth in Qin Yue's hands, but at this time, Qin Yue didn't know the money he got from there, and swallowed himself backhanded.

Any business warfare skill, in the face of absolute money, is futile.

Now if Qin Yue gives the Shadow Chamber of Commerce more wealth, when the time comes, I am afraid that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will become the most powerful chamber of commerce in the land of the five states in one fell swoop.

"Who else knows about this teleportation array?" Orbit also began to be vigilant at this time.

The reason why the current Shadow Chamber of Commerce is so beautiful and not afraid of acquiring a large number of industries locally is because of Qin Yue's willingness. This guy is often able to provide a large amount of money.

Many chambers of commerce that wanted to snipe at them were consumed by their cash flow, and no one thought that this small shadow chamber of commerce would be able to come up with so much wealth every time. Every time, he thought that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce was at the end of his rope, but he was often able to come up with another sum of money.

If you want to say when the Shadow Chamber of Commerce is the most dangerous, Lan Zhanhe will definitely answer that it is now.

In the past, with Qin Yue's cash as the backing, so much real money, in the face of his opponent, he only had to do one thing and run over it.

But now it's different, Qin Yue is gone, and no one can provide so much cash. So now all the Shadow Chamber of Commerce can do is to fake the tiger, so that more chambers of commerce think that they still have money in their hands.

Now a large part of the chambers of commerce that snipe the Shadow Chamber of Commerce are already cowardly, and they can't compete at all.

The lessons of the past are still there, and the back will naturally not follow to die. Even some of them thought that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce was about to end, but when they heard that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce had run out of money, they all fell into deep self-doubt.

Is this news true? Because this news came out of Lan Zhanhe's mouth.

Lan Zhanhe's words, a deceitful mouth. What this guy said is nine times out of ten false, and if he gambles on his family's property now, then nine times out of ten he will be eaten clean by the Shadow Chamber of Commerce.

"Not for the time being, this news is top secret, even if it is a big gold tooth, I haven't notified it. ”

Lan Zhanhe was naturally aware of the importance of this news, and now there were some families who were beginning to doubt the purchasing power of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. Under his guidance, the people of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce are going all out to deal with these tentative attacks.

But this way will not last long.

Lan Zhanhe believed that it wouldn't be long before those guys came back to their senses, and those who were waiting for the Shadow Chamber of Commerce would be frantically retaliating.

He must not live up to the expectations of the president and let the Shadow Chamber of Commerce fall in his hands.

"I see, I'll get the craftsman to finish building this teleportation array as soon as possible. Rail said helplessly.

For the development of the Chamber of Commerce, he is becoming more and more powerless, when the plate was still small, he still knew what to do, but now, he can only completely hand it over to Lan Zhanhe to deal with.

And at this time, Hexi Road, the Yang family.

"Now it's more than we expected, and I always have a feeling that things are about to change. Yang Feng said.

"Isn't what Uncle Shi said that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce is about to be unable to support it?" There was a hint of mockery in Yang Han's voice, and more helplessness.
