Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 129 Big City
After it was confirmed that Zhao Yun would take over as the magistrate of Lulong County and the captaincy of Zhansai, Gongsun Jing secretly promoted the spread of the story of the Battle of Yangqiuli.

Use Aduna as a stepping stone to make Zhao Yun famous.

The aristocratic family is accustomed to using power to maintain power and using power to seek power.

The Gongsun family used to take advantage of Gongsun Zan's power to occupy many important positions in western Liaoning. Now that Gongsun Zan has passed away, the fat meat they once swallowed is being watched by the surrounding pack of wolves.

At such a critical time, the Gongsun family needs to temporarily frighten the surrounding wolves.

However, since Gongsun Zan, the two generations of the Gongsun family seem to have exhausted their force value.

The prosperity of civil society and the decline of military affairs meant that the generals trained by the family had a mediocre record, and there was really nothing to be famous for.

It is such an important node. Although Zhao Yun is a general with a foreign surname, he has many origins in it. Gongsun Jing cannot care too much for the time being.

In Gongsun Jing's heart, Zhao Yun's foundation was too shallow, and it was difficult for one county to support war logistics.

No matter how good he is at fighting, the fate of logistics is always in the hands of the Gongsun family.

From the moment Zhao Yun was confirmed to take over as the magistrate of Lulong County, he was destined to be a member of the Gongsun family.

With all this, even before Gongsun Yan Zhao Yun knew about it, Zhao Yun had already passively become famous in the North.

Ye Yao and Zhao Yun walked side by side, chatting all the way.

The generation of direct descendants of the Ye family in Liaodong was not prosperous. The eldest son of the direct descendants was frail since childhood, and there were only a few descendants of the concubines.

Therefore, Ye Yao, who was born as a concubine, received more and better resources than ordinary concubines.

He studied under famous teachers since childhood, and later went out to study.

But he was born in the northern frontier, and he always admired the military generals who could relieve the troubles of the barbarians.

Although Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, and was criticized by the world, his many heroic deeds in early battles and shocking frontiers still made Ye Yao's blood boil every time he read them.

When he learned about the battle in Yangqiuli, Ye Yao had already sketched the image of a majestic general in his mind.

When we got along at this time, I saw Zhao Yun being humble and not arrogant in his responses, patiently clarifying the many untrue points in the rumors, and I suddenly felt like making friends with him.

"Zhao Jun, it's rare for you and me to meet each other. After I pay my condolences to Jihou, Yao will go to Lulong to pay a visit. I will definitely not be drunk by then."

"Yunzi sweeps the couch to welcome you."

Ye Yao admired Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun could also realize that Ye Yao was not an incompetent person who just sat around and talked, and was willing to interact with him.

The two of them walked and talked and got along happily.

Halfway through the journey, Ye Yao knew that Zhao Yun was not from Youzhou, so he told him many things about the scenery and people in western and eastern Liaoning.

When he only talked about the salt water in Liaodong, he changed the topic and said: "When the former Lulong County Magistrate was in office, Lulongsai border trade had frequent trade, and the county had a lot of tariffs. But I don't know what policies Zhao Jun will adopt, whether Keep this trade route?"

Zhao Yun did not expect that he would suddenly mention this. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Ye Yicao, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Yao smiled slightly and said: "Northern families often trade with people outside the Great Wall through this trade route, and they gain a lot every year."

Ye Yao knew that Zhao Yun was a subordinate of Gongsun Zan and was famous for fighting against the barbarians. He was worried that Zhao Yun would adopt extreme policies like Gongsun Zan and directly block the Lulong trade route.

Zhao Yun could understand the meaning behind his words. If the Lulong Business Road was cut off, all wealthy families would lose an income. He who touched the interests of the family would naturally become a thorn in the flesh of others.

Zhao Yun knew that wealthy families in the North had been smuggling salt and iron outside the country all year round in exchange for horse hides.

Unexpectedly, even people like Ye Yao, who showed support for the fight against the barbarians, also tacitly approved it, and even wanted to be lobbyists.

His good impression of Ye Yao suddenly disappeared. It was true as Mrs. Gongsun said, the family has no righteousness.Even though he knew that all the salt and iron he sold would serve as arrows for the Hu people to shoot back to the Han Dynasty, he still put his own self-interest first.

Zhao Yun's expression turned cold for a moment, which did not escape Ye Yao's eyes.

A sudden thought occurred in his mind: Could it be that Jun Zhao really wanted to be like Gongsun Zan, and become a single man?

Ye Yao was very optimistic about Zhao Yun, and he was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Yun.

Although Zhao Yun's expression was a bit cold, he still replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, Lulongsai Business Road will continue to exist."

Hearing this, although Ye Yao was surprised by the contrast between Zhao Yun's expression and actions, his face still showed a bit of joy, "That's good, that's good."

Seeing the joy on his face, Zhao Yun held the reins, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and revealed some of the policies that Gongsun Yan had discussed with them, "Not only will the trade routes be maintained, Lulong will also open a large market for Han and Hu people." Exchange trade.”

In Gongsun Yan's view, even if Lulong blocks the trade routes, these aristocratic families will not give up, and the smuggling of salt and iron will not be stopped.

It's not cost-effective to put yourself in the spotlight.

It would be better to open the market and officially set up a list of prohibited sales and restricted sales.

The aristocratic family sells salt and iron for nothing more than profit.

With Gongsun Yan's ability, he can definitely give them the profits they want and let them know in advance what capital and monopoly are.

Ye Yao was stunned by the news and was overjoyed.

In the past, most frontier transactions were controlled by Aduna, and the caravans still had to hand over profits. If the market was opened directly, the ironware, salt, lacquerware, etc. needed by the Hu people could be sold directly here.

"Zhao Jun is enlightened and righteous." Ye Yao did not expect that Zhao Yun would open the border market in one step.

Just as he was praising him, he heard Zhao Yun say: "It's just that there are too few people in Lulong County who can be recruited. The opening of the market must be done after the pass is rebuilt. Otherwise, barbarians will invade and your business will not be able to be done safely."

They are not stupid people. Ye Yao knew the implication of Zhao Yun's words. He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, and after a moment he said, "This Ye can actually coordinate for Zhao Jun."

The registered population in Lulong County is sparse, but there are many wealthy households in the villages, and it is not impossible to recruit hundreds of them from one family.

The Ye family has had many interactions with various wealthy families during many years of trade, so he could be a lobbyist, but...

He looked at Zhao Yun expectantly.

What Zhao Yun wanted was Ye Yao's words, a smile on his face, and the promise he expected.

"Of course, the county will allocate grain and fodder for the recruitment of civilian men. Those who are willing to help generously at this time will be rewarded generously when the market opens."

"Whether it's possible to reduce tariffs or get free rent for stores in big markets, it all depends on how hard you work. You can go to the Lulong County government office to sign a deed as proof."

"If Brother Ye can help, Zhao will also repay Ye generously."

When Zhao Yun heard Ye Yao mentioning business, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of the powerful local power in Lulong County.

Less than a day after he arrived in Lulong, merchants with big surnames already came to pay their respects. As Mrs. Gongsun expected, the trade route would be difficult to cut off, so she took the initiative to take control of it.

Bringing Ye Yao here was just a temporary move.

After reaching an agreement, the two of them discussed a few words softly, looking at each other and smiling.

Looking up, the main house of Lone Bamboo was already in front of me.
