    However, Chen Qun still caught one thing. Liu Yu also supported the development of businessmen. His support was not strong, but it represented a friendly signal to businessmen.

    Through investigation, Chen Qun found several merchants who frequently went to Youzhou for trade, and was ready to have a good talk with their owners.

    In this era, the government represents absolute power. If you go against the government, the end will not be much better.

    The most doubtful thing is that Youzhou is going to be in chaos.  But those merchants seemed completely unaware and still shipped large quantities of goods to Youzhou without worrying about losing money.

    The Zhu family is one of them.

    The head of the Zhu family stood calmly in front of Chen Qun, with a look of confusion on his face.

    "I heard that the Zhu family has increased trade with Youzhou recently?" Chen Qun asked casually.

    "Reporting to your lord, it is indeed true." The head of the Zhu family replied, and at the same time he was extremely confused. Logically speaking, Mr. Chen has so many things to do, how could he care about such a trivial matter?

    ?????????????????? However, the minds of those in power are the most difficult to guess.

    "If my intelligence is correct, it seems that there is going to be a war in Youzhou, right?" Chen Qun guided step by step.

    The head of the Zhu family paused for a while, seeming to be thinking about how to answer this question.

    "The Zhu family is very wealthy, so aren't they afraid of losses?" Chen Qun continued.

    "Excuse me, sir, Dongyang Hou is right. As long as the customer needs it, we will satisfy it no matter what." The head of the Zhu family said.

    "You still remember what my lord said! Do you want to use my lord to suppress me?" Chen Qun sneered.

    The head of the Zhu family suddenly broke into a cold sweat and apologized quickly: "The adults misunderstood, how dare you, the villain!"

    At the same time, he was thinking in his mind about what went wrong that would make Chen Qun miss him.

    Suppression from competitors?

    No, I just mentioned the matter in Youzhou It can't be pure concern.

    Could it be that

    The head of the Zhu family said tremblingly: "Sir, please give me a clear explanation!"

    "My lord has been so kind to you, but he still can't feed you white-eyed wolves." Chen Qun said angrily.

    The head of the Zhu family was suddenly horrified. What happened to Marquis Dongyang?

    The businessmen all have a consensus that Dongyang Hou will lead them to make money, but there are too many restrictions.

    For example, the most popular Qiao family was suppressed by the government because of the rudeness of one shopkeeper.

    Today¡¯s businessmen have big families and big businesses. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen to their family members?

    What's more, there are frame-ups and frame-ups by competitors, and there are endless incidents of sending undercover agents.

    Now that a fire was burning on his head, the head of the Zhu family became very sober at this moment. He quickly knelt down and said: "Sir, if there is anything you can do for me, please feel free to tell me!"

    Do all businessmen have such a small burden?  Where is the character of the noble family!

    Chen Qun thought with disdain.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the so-called Youzhou Plan!¡±

    "What's the Youzhou plan?" the head of the Zhu family said without knowing why.

    "Still pretending?" Chen Qun changed his words uncertainly, "Tell me everything you know."

    ¡­¡­

    An hour later, Chen Qun looked hurriedly and visited Liu Ke.

    "Have you found out?" Liu Ke asked.

    Chen Qun's heart suddenly lifted. The Lord was so concerned about this matter. Fortunately, he had made progress and had an explanation for the matter.

    "My Lord, the so-called Youzhou Project is nothing but a farce." Chen Qun said.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk and listen,¡± Liu Kedao said.

    "My lord also knows that Liu Yu, the herdsman of Youzhou, built a trading place on the grassland, and Yangzhou merchants have always had dealings with it." Chen Qun said.

    Liu Ke can understand this matter. After all, everyone is doing business. Of course, it is not too much to go wherever there is money to make.

    "After a long period of exchanges, some big businessmen were received by Liu Yu. Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was a simple and honest old man. He was very tolerant of the people in the territory. Like his lord, he also respected the merchants.

    However, Liu Yu¡¯s respect was even greater. Apart from the law, there was no restriction.  Therefore, Youzhou is a treasure place for Yangzhou merchants.  Therefore, they plan to establish a second base in Youzhou.  "Chen Qun said.

    Liu Ke finally understood that the cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is almost the same principle.

    However, Liu Ke still couldn't help but be angry,I worked hard to make you money, so you can take it to other states to spend it?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of?them, how much loss will Yangzhou suffer as a result of the transfer of property, don¡¯t they have any idea?

    For Liu Ke, this is a kind of betrayal.

    However, for businessmen and even aristocratic families, this is normal.

    For example, Xun You was working in Yangzhou, but Xun Yu was hanging out with Cao Cao. This was the crude method of the family.

    The same goes for businessmen, especially the big businessmen in Yangzhou. They have developed, but they don¡¯t feel safe enough in their hearts, because Liu Ke deprived them of their wealth with just one sentence.

    No matter how much guarantee Liu Ke gives, they will make the next arrangements.

    This is how the "Youzhou Plan" was born.

    Since it was the retreat prepared by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, Liu Ke would not be told.  If he hadn't discovered it accidentally, Liu Ke would have been kept in the dark.

    "Is that all?" Liu Kedao said.

    Because this involves the life and death of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, Chen Qun dare not speak nonsense.  He obtained the information through more than just the head of the Zhu family. A total of three businessmen confessed to the matter and became informants for the government.

    Their confessions are consistent.

    "One more thing is that Youzhou is not stable, and there are still princes like Gongsun Zan, so the merchants decided to help Liu Yu to deal with Gongsun Zan." Chen Qun said.

    Liu Ke couldn¡¯t help but laugh. What is this?

    Has the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce grown to this extent?

    If it is a small matter, Liu Ke may not care, but this is already a war that affects a state.

    I think back when the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce was first established, it was just a baby and only knew how to do business.

    In the past few years, Liu Ke has developed into a giant.  First, 100 million funds were raised to help Xuzhou develop its internal affairs.  Then he funded Liu Yu and launched a large-scale war.

    This time, Liu Yu dispatched 200,000 troops.

    Youzhou is just a poor place. When Liu Ke flew to Youzhou to help Liu Yu resist the invasion of the grassland, Liu Yu only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops and was a very weak prince.

    Later, Liu Ke felt sorry for Liu Yu's difficulty in guarding the border, and left behind thousands of heavy cavalry armors.

    With thousands of heavy cavalry, Liu Yu was able to stabilize the situation and secure his position as Youzhou Mu.

    But, now, there are actually 200,000 troops raised!

    It is self-evident what role the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce plays.

    In Banzhou, it is not an easy task to feed 200,000 troops, not to mention it is a bitter cold place like Youzhou.

    So, Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce created another miracle.

    "How much money has the Chamber of Commerce invested in Youzhou?" Liu Ke asked.

    "About ten million gold." Chen Qun said.

    "With ten million gold, aren't they afraid of losing everything?" Liu Ke sneered.

    Yangzhou¡¯s army is the most expensive. Ten million gold will definitely not be able to support Yangzhou¡¯s army.  But other places are different. They are poor and have low consumption.

    "With the mutual market, they won't lose too much." Chen Qun said.

    Loss?

    It¡¯s enough to earn it back. Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce has such confidence.

    The premise is that there is Liu Ke¡¯s support.  Once Liu Ke gives up support, they will be nothing.

    "The Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce can still save it. After all, they raised 100 million gold for me and only gave 10 million gold to Liu Yu." Liu Ke laughed at himself.

    "My lord, I think this official will punish you severely!" Chen Qun said with murderous intent.

    "Has the investigation been clear? How many merchants were involved in this matter?" Liu Kedao said that there are more than 100 chambers of commerce in Yangzhou, and they cannot be beaten to death with one blow.

    "Twenty-three families." Chen Qun said.

    "Get rid of the leader, and we won't be able to keep anyone who has too many ideas." Liu Kedao said.

    "My lord is kind!" Chen Qun said, "One more thing, what if Liu Yu wins?"

    Once Liu Yu wins, it will be a victory for Yangzhou merchants, and Liu Yu must have made some promises to them.

    Wouldn¡¯t it be a pity to kill him like this?

    Liu Ke was startled, not expecting Chen Qun to ask this question.

    At present, Liu Yu has raised 200,000 troops. It would be good if Gongsun Zan can scrape together 100,000 troops.

    Liu Yu has a great chance of winning, otherwise how could the Yangzhou businessman place a bet.

    Furthermore, Liu Yu is a friendly force and Gongsun Zan is a hostile force.  Helping Liu Yu deal with Gongsun Zan was politically correct in the eyes of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Even if he was discovered by the government, there would be no problem.

    However, they secretly mobilized 10 million gold to support Liu Yu, which has made Liu Ke jealous and must be suppressed.

    As for Liu Yu, can he win?

    Liu Ke didn¡¯t quite believe it. What Liu Yu lacked was famous generals.

    "Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are evenly matched," Liu Kedao said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp;However, they secretly mobilized 10 million gold to support Liu Yu, which has made Liu Ke afraid and must be suppressed.
