Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 239 Dangerous
Zhang Ning was pregnant, and Guo Jia stayed by Zhang Ning's side when he was free, and occasionally met Xiu for a while to relieve the desire of men and women, and everyone was happy.

He doesn't worry about government affairs either, as a group of civil servants are responsible for them.

Basically, they all perform their own duties, and Guo Jia doesn't have anything to do.

He didn't worry about the family affairs either. Cai Meimei, a good wife and loving mother, took care of her.

Regarding Zhang Ning's matter, Cai Meimei also showed great sincerity.

She arranged a shrine for Zhang Ning in the mansion, and sent three or two maidservants to take care of him. She personally took care of three meals a day, and often came and walked around to ask about his health, which was very lady-like.

This made Guo Jia very satisfied.

When you marry a wife, you should marry Cai Wenji!
Don't worry about this kind of woman.

The days passed like this, and three months passed quickly.

……

Winter in the north always comes quickly. After a few heavy rains, the weather cools down completely.

Bian County was originally a bit desolate, but now it has experienced another war, and it has not recovered in a few months.

The north wind blows, and the ground is frosty white.

On the official road in the distance came a horse team, at least a thousand people depending on the size.

Ordinary caravans have dozens of people, and the most are hundreds of people.

A caravan with a scale of over a thousand is a large caravan.

Such caravans are usually from large tribes.

There are many large caravans like this every month.

The purpose of the large caravan is naturally Zhongshan, a city of border trade.

Since Guo Jia promoted border trade, Zhongshan has become the only commercial center on the border.

Whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, or other Hu people, they transported goods to Zhongshan thousands of miles away.

Zhongshan also gathered countless big merchants from the mainland.

The two parties traded in Zhongshan City, and each got what it needed.

The entire Zhongshan gathered all the merchants from the grasslands and inland.

Fur horses from the Xiongnu, ginseng and Dongzhu from Xianbei, cattle, sheep, tigers, and leopards from Wuhuan, and gold and silver utensils from the Hu people outside the Great Wall, and occasionally some blond orchids were sold.

Most of the buyers of these orchids are merchants in the Central Plains who are out of curiosity.

In Zhongshan, Lunu City is the center of commerce, and almost all the shops are leased by merchants from all over the place.

Merchants who don't have a shop simply rent a piece of land on the street, spread blankets and set up a street stall.

The city of Lunu is already overcrowded, which can be regarded as every inch of land.

Guo Jia has long promised that all transactions in Zhongshan will not be taxed.

Attracted countless merchants to stay.

Although they don't pay taxes, these people eat and drink in the city, which is not a small fee.

Among other things, even the daily income from shop rent is an astronomical figure.

Now Zhongshan can be regarded as making money while lying down.

Although the cost here is a bit high, there are business opportunities everywhere, and businessmen are also making a lot of money, so naturally they are not afraid of high expenses.

In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.

The caravan makes money, spends it in Zhongshan, makes money again, and spends it again.

Zhongshan has become an iron camp, and merchants have become flowing soldiers.

Countless wealth flowed into Zhongshan's pocket.

Border trade is not Zhongshan's patent, but after the Zhongshan model came out, border trade in other border counties was basically over.

Businessmen live for profit.

There is a place where they can make money without being exploited, and they naturally flock to it.

With the development of Zhongshan's reputation, more and more businessmen came to do business after hearing the news, and Zhongshan's commodities became more and more complete.

Whether you are a seller or a buyer, you can find a suitable business path in Zhongshan.

This creates a first-mover effect.

Zhongshan is becoming more and more prosperous, while the trade of other border counties is becoming more and more withered.

In the Han Dynasty, trade in border counties has always been the way of making money for the court, but after tens of hundreds of years of development, these ways of making money gradually fell into the hands of aristocratic families.

It can be said that border trade is also a source of income for aristocratic families.

Once Guo Jia's Zhongshan Border Trade was launched, it immediately occupied most of the border trade share and seized most of the market.

After nearly a year, it has still become a giant in border trade.

Making money while lying down is exactly the portrayal of Zhongshan.

In this way, Zhongshan is full, but there is nothing to eat in other border trade.

If Guo Jia was from an aristocratic family, it would be easier to say.

Let's sit down and discuss.

Now that you have entered this circle, you are one of your own.

We will help each other in the future.

There are not many amazingly talented people in history, but most of them chose to sit with those people after they rose to the top and jointly safeguard the interests of this circle.

Guo Jia is an exception.

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, this guy is a bastard!

He swallowed the entire frontier trade, leaving no scum, which is completely denying others a way to survive.

Being rich is equivalent to killing one's parents, so the aristocratic family wants to clean up Guo Jia.

But the current emperor is a strange thing, and the ten servants of the cronies are the fighters among the strange things.

As long as the emperor has the money to accept it, he dares to sell the throne.

Shi Changshi is even more powerful.

They don't talk about any rules, they are the nemesis of the aristocratic family.

As long as the aristocratic family is unhappy, they will do whatever they want.

They have been working against the big family for decades.

The rise of Guo Jia has become a bargaining chip in the hands of Shi Changshi to suppress the aristocratic family.

So they want to protect Guo Jia.

It's not because Guo Jia is handsome, but Guo Jia can make their opponents unhappy.

Their opponents were unhappy, but Shi Changshi was happy.

With the support of the ten permanent servants, the aristocratic family could not defeat Guo Jia in the court, so they almost worked hard in other places.

The Yuan family took the opportunity to suppress the Yellow Turbans and launched round after round of attacks on Guo Jia on behalf of the aristocratic family.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Guo Jia's strength and overestimated their own.

In several battles, Guo Jia thwarted the conspiracy of these people and defended his fruits of victory.

These high-ranking officials and nobles have suffered a loss, so naturally they will not let it go.

Guo Jia is a thorn in their throats, and this thorn must be pulled out.

It's just that the sudden outbreak of the Liangzhou rebellion disrupted their hands and feet.

As a last resort, the important officials representing the interests of the aristocratic family could only let Guo Jia go and concentrate on dealing with those barbarians in Liangzhou.

Although the people of Liangzhou are also the people of big men, they are just a bunch of barbarians in the eyes of these aristocratic families.

Although Guo Jia was hateful, he was still a native of the Central Plains, and these barbarians would not have anything to do with them.

Therefore, Guo Jia became the consensus of the courtiers after the barbarians.

Xiliang rebelled, and the imperial court immediately collected the victorious soldiers of the Yellow Turbans and entered Xiliang.

After three months of struggle, the sparks of these barbarians were basically extinguished.

Although the Liangzhou people are brave, they are not the opponents of the Central Army, and they were defeated by the Central Army after several battles.

But Liangzhou has an advantage. If you can't beat it, you can run away. Anyway, Liangzhou has a large territory, and the imperial army can't catch up.

When they leave, it won't be too late for Liangzhou heroes to call back.

But that's something for the future, and now, they have set their sights on Zhongshan Guo Jia, a thorn in their side.

Compared with those barbarians, Guo Jia is the trouble in his heart.
