After receiving the order, Chen Qun did not dare to neglect and began to investigate carefully.
Whether this matter is big or small depends on how Liu Ke defines it.
¡°However, the behemoth Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce still deviated from the track.
¡° A large group that can raise 100 million yuan in one go is not under the control of the government. This is definitely dereliction of duty.
So, Chen Qun started serious mode.
"If these businessmen don't do business well, are they really going to make a big difference?"
Chen Qun¡¯s first step in conducting an investigation is to investigate the movement of bank funds.
¡°Businessmen have always reserved one hand and will not deposit all their funds in the bank. Because in this way, they will be choked by the government.
However, some clues can still be detected.
Chen Qun led his hundreds of arithmetic masters to reorganize the bank's account books overnight.
Finally, he discovered an interesting fact. Recently, the number of merchants going to Youzhou to do business suddenly increased.
Chen Qun plans to mark these merchants one by one, and then prescribe the right medicine to break through.
At the same time, the caravan of Tao Shang and Liu Shang arrived in Youzhou, exhausted and excited.
They made enough money by going back and forth again and again.
However, this time, the pottery merchant felt the difference. The previously attentive county magistrate did not show up, but sent his chief bookkeeper.
??If it were just this point, it would not be worthy of suspicion by the pottery merchant.
"This time, we only need half of the goods." The bookkeeper said coldly.
The pottery merchants were extremely surprised. The tea they transported was very popular in Youzhou. Even if Youzhou could not consume it, it would still be a large income if it was resold on the grassland.
Why is it so hard to sell all of a sudden?
"Are you not satisfied with the price?" the pottery merchant asked tentatively.
"No, Youzhou has not been peaceful recently." The chief clerk said after he finished his sentence.
No matter how much the pottery merchant tried, the chief clerk didn't say anything. The pottery merchant had no choice but to agree to the transaction, and both parties made a settlement.
"Are we going back next?" Liu Shang said.
"Are you out of your mind? Find another place to sell the remaining goods!" said the pottery merchant.
If they go back with half a cargo of goods, they will definitely become a joke in Yangzhou.
Most definitely.
"Besides, it seems that something big is happening in Youzhou, we can pay attention to it." Tao Shang said, they are not only doing business, but also have the responsibility of collecting intelligence. Tao Shang never dares to forget it.
Liu Shang nodded.
This time they went to an unfamiliar place and encountered a group of bandits. Fortunately, there were not many people, only more than a hundred people.
Liu Shang fought bravely and repelled the bandits, but also lost more than a dozen sailors.
"Damn it, how can the security here be so bad?" the pottery merchant complained.
"Are you surprised? This is Gongsun Zan's territory. Gongsun Zan is the biggest bandit here. Some bandit dens with thousands of people will be destroyed. Only a hundred people will be ignored by the government." Liu Shangdao.
"I heard that a while ago, Gongsun Zan went crazy to the grassland, killed people, set fire to it, and robbed a lot of things." Tao Shang said.
"So, the atmosphere in Youzhou has been ruined by him a long time ago." Liu Shang said disdainfully.
They entered the local county before dark, and while selling the goods, they heard a piece of news.
It seems that Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is about to deal with Gongsun Zan, the largest second- and fifth-year-old son in the territory.
Tao Shang and Liu Shang looked at each other, and both could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. War has always been no small matter.
A while ago, Dongyang Hou¡¯s 300,000-strong army went north and captured Xuzhou. It can be said that they fought without any blood and did not experience many bloody battles.
However, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are different. The two represent the two largest forces in Youzhou.
Gongsun Zan represents the military force in Youzhou, and uses plundering grasslands as a means of development. Wuhuan's heads are the way for them to advance. Even though the central government was in chaos, Gongsun Zan did not stop this killing activity, and often went to the grasslands with his troops in person.
Liu Yu represents the power of the aristocratic families in Youzhou, and they are the real controllers of Youzhou. It's just that the method they adopted was relatively mild, which was to trade with the grassland people. When Liu Yu was not serving as the shepherd of Youzhou, the aristocratic family secretly sold salt and ironware to the grassland. However, the grassland people were not satisfied and often entered Youzhou to plunder.
After Liu Yu became the shepherd of Youzhou, the first thing he had to change was this. EncouragePeople trade. For the aristocratic family, there was no need for them to be sneaky and earn a lot of money, so they turned to Liu Yu. For the prairie people, robbery is risky, but they get more from trade, so they also like Gong Liu Yu.
In this way, Gongsun Zan became a breaker of rules.
"After the goods are released, we will leave as soon as possible!" Liu Shangdao.
"No, don't forget the responsibilities we shoulder, and find out the information before leaving." The pottery merchant insisted.
Liu Shang finally agreed. He knew that this close friend had never given up on being an official.
In this way, Tao Shang and Liu Shang inquired about the news everywhere, and finally confirmed that the rumors that Liu Yu was going to deal with Gongsun Zan were true. Liu Yu had raised an army of 200,000 to attack Gongsun Zan's territory in a mighty manner.
At this moment, the whole Youzhou was shaking.
So the two immediately took a boat back to Yangzhou without stopping.
As soon as the two of them got off the boat, they were stopped by the Yamen servant and said: "Master Chen has a request!"
Who is Mr. Chen?
Tao Shang and Liu Shang met Mr. Chen with questions, it was Chen Qun.
"I heard that you just came back from Youzhou?" Chen Qun asked.
"Yes." They both replied at the same time.
"Did something big happen in Youzhou?" Chen Qun keenly captured the changes in the expressions of the two men.
"Liu Yu has raised an army to attack Gongsun Zan." The pottery merchant replied.
Chen Qun fell into deep thought, which is understandable. After waiting for a while, Chen Qun still asked: "Do you know about the Youzhou plan?"
The pottery merchant was extremely surprised and said: "I don't know" Then he looked at Liu Shang, and Liu Shang also shook his head.
"Sir, is this plan important?" Liu Shang asked curiously.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Chen Qun said perfunctorily and asked the two to retreat.
After Liu Shang left, he never forgot about the so-called Youzhou plan.
"Don't think too much about it. The Youzhou plan concerns a whole state. How could I possibly tell you?" Tao Shang said.
"I'm just curious!" Liu Shangdao, "Do you think it has something to do with the war in Youzhou?"
"It's possible" the pottery merchant concluded, but he wasn't very sure.
"Liu Yu and Dongyang Hou are both Han clan clan members, but they are very different in ability. If it weren't for Yangzhou's support, Liu Yu would have died long ago!" Liu Shangdao.
"You talk about Zhou Mu casually?" The potter rolled his eyes.
"Tch, can the governors of other states still have control over me?" Liu Shang said innocently.
"Don't talk too much. If Liu Yu suddenly breaks out and destroys Gongsun Zan, won't he alone have the final say in the entire Youzhou? Then someone else will catch you, and it will be bloody again." Business.
"You are overthinking. No matter what, I am from Yangzhou! As long as my household registration is in Yangzhou, what can they do to me?" Liu Shang asked.
Indeed, now Yangzhou continues to develop, Liu Ke's reputation continues to expand, and the status of Yangzhou merchants has increased.
Even when the Allied forces turned against Liu Ke, the Allied forces would seize the supplies of the Chamber of Commerce, but they did not dare to harm Yangzhou merchants because Liu Ke provided asylum.
Every cross-state businessman carries documents from Yangzhou Mu, stamped with Liu Ke's seal.
Who dares to touch a Yangzhou businessman?
Now, Liu Ke won the war and went one step further to capture Xuzhou. The troops of the three states reached 750,000, which was a huge force.
Any businessman from Yangzhou would have the same status as a county magistrate from another state.
Those who can trade across states are members of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, Liu Ke was very angry that the members of the Chamber of Commerce were not under control. Since I have provided you with protection, you should behave honestly and make no messy plans?
Of course, as long as you are a businessman, you will trade secretly in order to avoid taxes, and you deserve to be caught.
However, more businessmen, like Liu Shang, have the honor of being Yangzhou natives and admire Liu Ke very much.
Among the princes in the world, except Liu Ke, who would lead them to make a lot of money?
Maybe Liu Yuhui will, but Youzhou is just a bitter cold place, what development can there be? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
