When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 169 Confidant: I feel so tired!This young patriarch is so naive!
In this era when products are not abundant, trade is the fastest way to exchange what is needed.

Ji Xun basically regarded the entire southeastern and Beiping swamps as his own territory.

But he overlooked one thing, that is, the Xin clan may only have 4000 people, but there is the Changxin clan next door, with the two clans together tens of thousands.

This is enough to give Ji Shi a try.

Ji Xun's words were just a stab in Xin Qu's face.

If Xin Qu agrees, he should not mess with his position as clan leader. The clan members below him will be disappointed immediately.

After all, trade cannot be carried out, which is tantamount to cutting off the connection with the south.

It is impossible for Yao Cong to watch this happen.

"Ah Cong, don't worry, listen to Qu's decision." Zibu quickly spoke and stopped the angry Yao Cong.

"I...okay!" Yao Gong took a deep breath. He had to give Xin Qu some face. After all, they are a family. "Qu, you make the decision."

Xinqu smiled and said, "I have a few friends in the mountains. The four of them have had a lot of conflicts with your Ji clan. They have recently gone south, but they will probably come back next year. The road is probably opened up."

Xinqu said calmly: "If you want to ban me from trading here, then I can only go south along the Taihang Mountains. I remember that the second exit of the Taihang Mountains should be the core residence area of ​​the Ji family, and then go south. It is the territory of the Shang princes.

If I can't find a trader in the swamp, I will arrange for someone to work with friends in the mountains to open a trade route suitable for trade.

But this trade route will be directly connected with the princes in the northern part of Dayi Shang.

When the time comes, if anyone from the Dayi Shang princes takes this path and directly attacks the core area of ​​your Ji family, then don't blame me.

Therefore, if you want this area, I will give it to you, but the Taihang Mountains will belong to me. "

"..."

Ji Xun's cheek twitched: "You can't do it!"

"It's worth it." Xin Qu's expression changed from a smile to a serious one, "Maybe I was so talkative that you all forgot that I have the Xin family, which is a tributary state of Dayi Shang. And it is a tributary state that is directly connected with Am Shang. Can Do you understand what I say?"

"!!!"

Ji Xun stood up suddenly and almost forgot about it.

If the main communication route is prohibited, if the merchants from Dayi ask for it, Xinqu must lead his troops southward, and then everyone in the way will be given to you.

Not to mention that you actually want to ban trade, which will block the Xin family's opportunity to obtain information about Dayi merchants from the southern market.

In this era, it was inconvenient to send messages, and more often than not, tributary countries needed to be conscious.

One thing happened once, that is, a western country failed to pay tribute in time. Businessmen from Dayi went to ask why, and found that the envoy from Dayi was killed on the way, and the tributary country was blocked by the next door because of its defeat. The envoys can't get out of the trade routes, so they don't know anything.

So the merchants from Dayi sent troops.

He destroyed the tribes that defeated the tributary country, packed up all the nobles of the tributary country, and brought them to Dayi to offer sacrifices to heaven. He then supported a new earl to take over the country, but the Dayi merchants lost some of their cattle, sheep and manpower. Used by this tributary state.

The purpose of doing this is also to prevent bastards who should not appear from infecting the tributes belonging to Dayi merchants.

Anyway, the merchants of Dayi can care about the life and death of the Fang Kingdom in your peripheral areas, but don't stop paying tribute. If you don't pay tribute at the end, then sacrifice your nobles to the gods in exchange for forgiveness.

Just that grumpy.

Therefore, as long as the Ji family dares to block the trade route involving the Xin family, it is tantamount to causing trouble with the Dayi merchants.

Who dares to rebel before the southern merchants are completely dead?
"Calm down, don't get excited!" Wu Zhongmi stood up and said, "Let's eat this way, and then we can talk about the follow-up after eating. Don't be in a hurry! Anyway, if you have time, let's talk slowly."

There is no end to the atmosphere.

Xinqu didn't say anything.

Against the Ji family, Dayi Shang is the best card to use, but against the Yu family and Wu Zhongmi, the opponent will not take advantage of you.

The two families and the forces behind them have been working with Dayi merchants all year round. They have been barbarians for who knows how many years, and they have probably angered Dayi merchants once or twice.But Jishi...if he gives Dayi Shang enough excuses, he may really be wiped out by the entire tribe.

After all, tens of thousands of people are literally tens of thousands of slaves. Who wouldn’t drool after seeing this?

Therefore, the Ji family must be careful at all times. If they do not give excuses to Dayi merchants now, they will not give excuses to the princes of Dayi merchants in Hebei.

One or two Jishi can handle this group of guys, but if a dozen of them come together, the ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that there is a Xinshi to the north of Jishi.

I really hate him. Even if I am a god, I will not be able to deal with the attack from the north and the south.

After eating, Xinqu agreed on a time to discuss the matter and went to the Yamen first.

Ji Xun's confidants were quite disappointed with this young patriarch who was full of small plans, but they had already invested heavily in him and could not cut off their investment. They could only remind him: "Young patriarch, as long as you have control over this area, , we can demarcate market areas for trade.

At that time, the Xin clan will only be able to trade in the places specified by us, and we can also supervise the possible support of the Xin clan to other tribes.

Therefore, when we talk to the Xin family later, we will be more generous and give them the outer area of ​​the swamp. "

"This... you..."

"Young Patriarch!" the confidant said through gritted teeth, "Our first priority now is to stabilize and annex as soon as possible, not to write on the map. Who doesn't know how to open up a map?

But the problem is that you have to actually control this area!Now among the four of us, Xin has the largest actual control area, so he has the most confidence to speak.

It doesn't matter to him whether it's more or less. He wants these lands just to serve as a buffer zone so that if we send troops in the future, he can respond immediately!

The meat you put in the bowl is yours!Don’t worry about what’s in the basin before you put it in the bowl! "

In the end, Ji Xun could only nod unwillingly, but his confidants were in despair.

What kind of temper does this guy have at this time?I feel like he is like a child who has not grown up. He is obviously not young at all, he is already twenty!

Look at the clan leader of the Xin clan again. Don’t tell me, he is only sixteen years old!

Sixteen has such momentum and ability?What a monster!

Look at Wu Zhongmi again. Even though he is indifferent, he is very clear about his position among the four major forces in Shandong and Shannan.

What he wants to do now is to stay away from the three major forces and become the winner of the chess game. Everyone has to give him benefits, but he helps whoever wins.

It's that simple!
The three of them are the ones who really play chess in Shandong and Shannan!
Of course, if the non-aggression treaty is signed, the Ji family and the Yu family will actually start a war in the next period of time.

If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, you have to take advantage of winter to kill it. The tribesmen migrating from the south to the north are coming soon, and there is no time to worry about these things.

By signing, Ji's strength in the west can be restored by more than half, making it easier to attack the Yu's!

If he doesn't sign, he will completely offend the Xin family. Isn't it the same as pushing him to the Yu family?

When the time comes for Ji's family to fight on both sides, how much pressure will there be?
Moreover, Ji's reputation in the swamps is not as good as that of Xin's.

Among the swamp people, many tribes have already joined forces and are preparing to find the Youxin family to deal with the Ji family.

Therefore, appeasing the Xin family is also one of the mission goals of attending the memorial ceremony this time.

As long as Mr. Xin can do his own thing safely, it will be a victory!
"Everyone, the Yamen is ready. You can come with me." Xingrenchun walked out of the Yamen and invited them in.

"Let's go." Yujiu said to Yuhuai.

Wu Zhongmi followed with a smile.

Ji Xun frowned for a while and then followed suit.

At this time, Shi Wu was rushing back to the Youxin family.
