Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 904
After the great war, Yunzhou began to cultivate. After all, the God of War also needs to rest.

With the last threat to the north eliminated, the basic framework of Yun Bing Ji You stabilized.

The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everything returned to normal.

It's just that a very important problem slowly surfaced. After eliminating the surrounding nomads, Guo Jia suddenly discovered that the border trade had entered a stage of shrinking.The annual trading volume began to decline, and the range was also very large, which was shocking.

At this rate, the border trade will be shut down in a few years.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. It is believed that the main body of the border trade is these grassland nomads. Yunzhou sells the products of the Han Dynasty to them at a low price at a high price, and then sells their fur livestock to the Central Plains at a high price.

Once in and out, Yunzhou has made huge profits.

The reason why Yunzhou has been able to develop rapidly in recent years is due to this huge profit.

But in order to prevent hidden dangers, Guo Jia completely eradicated these powerful nomads, and the balance was broken.

Demand from the northern grasslands has fallen off a cliff.

This also made Guo Jia a little unexpected.

You won't die if you don't do it!

It was Guo Jia who single-handedly eradicated the grassland nomads, and also eradicated the border trade in Yunzhou.

The border trade in Yunzhou is in Guo Jia's pocket. Once the border trade is over, what will he use to build the four northern states, and the 10,000+ army will soon be disbanded.

To this end, Guo Jia held an enlarged meeting.

Cai Yu, the commander of Skynet, Jia Xu, the new personal counselor, Xi Zhong, the governor of Yunzhou, Xin Ping, the governor of Zhongshan County, and Su Qinglian, the chairman of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce.

This is a meeting that decides the fate of Yunzhou.

Xi Zhong, the governor of Yunzhou, stood up first. He took out a bunch of scrolls and put them on the table.

"This is the business situation in the first half of this year. From the data point of view, it is not optimistic."

After reading it, everyone felt that the problem was serious.

The border trade, which had been booming in wealth, suddenly fell like a cliff.

According to Xi Zhong's statistics, it may not be long before Yunzhou will be in deficit.

Xin Ping also stood up and said worriedly: "Xiaguan also has a piece of data here, which is the ratio of Yunzhou merchants leaving and opening new stores. This ratio has always been extremely low. Starting from the second half of the year, this ratio will increase. Start to slowly pull away, I am afraid that it will not take long before there will be a net outflow of businesses."

Merchants are the main body of Yunzhou's border trade. After all, Yunzhou is a government government and does not participate in the operation. It just collects wool from these merchants.

Although there is no tax charged for transactions in Yunzhou, the basic necessities of life here are astronomical.

Of course, the border trade is prosperous, merchants make money, and they dare to spend.

Once the border trade declines and they cannot make ends meet, they will be forced to leave.

"In the second half of the year, some merchants closed and left, including some time-honored brands."

Xin Ping said helplessly.

The departure of the businessman caused Yunzhou's financial revenue to plummet, and he, the prefect of Zhongshan, was the most direct victim.

Financial pressures are high this year.

At this time, Su Qinglian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Actually, besides the shrinking border trade in Yunzhou, the departure of merchants is also the most important reason for the rise of Xudu."

The rise of Xudu?
Everyone's interest was immediately attracted by her.

Su Qinglian smiled faintly, and said: "Cao Cao, governor of Yanzhou, built a new city Xudu after welcoming back the emperor. Other aristocratic families gathered in Xudu one after another. The current Xudu is rich in land and gold. In the long run, a new business will definitely be formed. The merchants have a very keen sense of smell, and they also saw the potential of Xudu, so they all rushed to Xudu."

As the successor of the merchant, Su Qinglian is naturally very clear about the trend and dynamics of the national business.

Xudu?
Guo Jia couldn't help frowning.

Cao Aman was quite capable. It only took half a year to occupy the land of the Central Plains. Some old and young men of the great man defected to Xudu one after another, forming a considerable force.

snort!
Cai Yu suddenly patted the table and said with a sneer, "These cunning people, when Yunzhou was prosperous, they came here one by one to make a lot of money. Now that Yunzhou is in decline, they turn around and seek refuge with Cao Cao. It really makes no sense. .Yunzhou doesn’t just come and go whenever they want. They can’t be so cheap. I’ll leave this matter to us, Skynet, and I’ll let them spit out everything they eat, and then peel off the skin .”

The girl gritted her teeth, very annoyed at these chaste businessmen.

Today's Skynet has become the most popular department in Yunzhou, and it is considered overkill to deal with a few businessmen in the district.

No!

Su Qinglian hurriedly said: "Second Miss, businessmen are naturally profit-seeking, which is understandable. Yunzhou is prosperous, and they naturally come here uninvited. Once Yunzhou declines, they are destined to leave. People go to high places, water It is a general trend to flow to the lower place, and it cannot be stopped. Besides, the prosperity of our Yunzhou has a lot to do with these businessmen. If we attack these heroes now, we will inevitably end up as a rabbit. Notoriety. In the future, who would dare to come to Yunzhou to do business?"

Su Qinglian, who was born in a businessman, naturally knew the nature of a businessman, so she also strongly opposed Cai Yu's method of killing chickens and taking eggs.

Ha ha!

Cai Yu suddenly sneered, and said, "If I remember correctly, Chairman Su is from the Jiasu family of Zhongshan Dajia. Your Su family is the largest merchant in Yunzhou, so you naturally want to talk to those merchants."

Her face suddenly darkened, and she said: "According to reliable sources, the Su family has already opened a branch in Xudu, President Su, are you going to leave Yunzhou and join Cao Cao?"

Cai Yu had long thought that Su Qinglian was not pleasing to his eyes, but now that he had an opportunity, how could he let it go easily.

Facing Cai Yu's aggressiveness, Su Qinglian just smiled lightly.

"Although the little girl is from the Su family, she is at the meeting of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce at this moment. Naturally, she has to contribute to Yunzhou. As for the Su family's establishment of a business in Xudu, it is also a business development, and it is not a betrayal of Yunzhou. Let's talk about Yunzhou The decline of border trade has already appeared. Instead of doing these useless investigations, it is better to concentrate on finding a solution. Since becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the little girl has been devoting herself to planning for Yunzhou. If the second lady thinks that I, Su Qinglian, have selfish intentions, then the The woman is willing to abdicate to the virtuous. Speaking of Skynet's great ability, it must be easy to restore the decline of Yunzhou's border trade."

Naturally, Su Qinglian was not the one to suffer. Since Cai Yu initiated the challenge, she naturally wanted to fight back.

She has always been independent, and she doesn't even pay attention to Cai Yan, so how can she take her sister seriously?
