Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 14 Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, there are many people who understand business wars
  Feeling contempt for Zhuge Qiao in his heart, Pan Zhu threw away Pan Jun's advice that "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water".

"Zhuge Qiao is good at numerology, but not sophistication in human affairs. He has a small city. I don't expect him to be Mi Zifang's opponent. It is almost a fantasy to find out what Mi Zifang has."

"If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for Mi Zifang to step down from the position of Nanjun Prefect."

"Why don't we help Zhuge Qiao and give Zhuge Qiao a chance to catch Mi Zifang?"

Pan Zhu thought secretly for a while and interrupted Zhuge Qiao's speech on "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic": "Have you ever heard of the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce in Jiangling City, brother Aqiao?"

"Jingchu Chamber of Commerce? A merchant's guild?" Zhuge Qiao was slightly surprised, and said solemnly: "Brother Wenlong, it is the nature of merchants to pursue profit. The ancient sages divided the world into scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and merchants are the lowest existence."

"Compared to the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, I would rather know if there is a guild hall of the Jingchu Poetry Society in Jiangling City, or a guild hall similar to the Yuedan Ping."

Pan Zhu was even more convinced that Zhuge Qiao was a nerd. He suppressed his contempt for Zhuge Qiao and reminded him: "Brother Aqiao wants to check the accounts, so he can start with the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce."

"Eh?" Zhuge Qiao's expression changed slightly: "What does the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce have to do with my checking accounts? I'm checking the accounts of Prefect Mi, not the accounts of private merchants."

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao was not understanding, Pan Zhu could only remind him again: "The members of the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce include, in addition to Jing merchants from Nanjun Changsha and other places, there are also barbarian merchants from the southern mountains such as Wuling Man and Lingling Man, as well as merchants from Jiangdong. Chu Shang."

"Prefect Mi is an honored guest of the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce. He often entertains merchants from the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce. If Brother Aqiao goes to investigate the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, he doesn't have to directly quarrel with Prefect Mi. The prince can also have an explanation."

Zhuge Qiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of doubts: "I still don't understand! I don't have the right to investigate the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce?"

Pan Zhu was speechless and couldn't help but feel a little impatient: "I've made it so obvious, why don't you understand?"

Thinking that Zhuge Qiao was not very smart in the first place, Pan Zhu could only suppress his impatience again and patiently explained: "Brother A Qiao, if you go to check the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, Prefect Mi will definitely take the initiative to look for you."

"You don't want to offend Grand Administrator Mi, and Grand Administrator Mi also doesn't want to offend the military advisor general. I believe that Grand Administrator Mi will definitely assist you in checking your accounts and give you some easy-to-handle accounting issues."

"In this way, you don't have to be caught between Governor Mi and the prince, and you are no longer a human being inside and outside."

"Brother Aqiao, do you understand?"

Zhuge Qiao suddenly realized: "I understand! I understand! Listening to Brother Wen Long's words is better than ten years of reading. What does the conflict between Governor Mi and the prince have to do with me?"

"They didn't want to break up, but they asked me to be the villain. I'm just a fifteen-year-old boy. I just want to study the classics and become a famous scholar in the world. I don't have the time to fight."

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao finally woke up, Pan Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "Brother Aqiao, if anyone asks, please don't say it was my idea."

Zhuge Qiao nodded: "Brother Wenlong, don't worry. I, Zhuge Qiao, am not stupid. How could I tell outsiders that this was your private idea?"

Pan Zhu secretly despised: Compared with ordinary scholars, you are a little clever, but as the eldest son of a military advisor and general, you are really too stupid.

After achieving his goal, Pan Zhu stopped staying. He stood up and lied: "Brother Aqiao, I still have some military affairs to attend to today. I will chat with brother Aqiao someday. If brother Aqiao is free, you can come and sit at my house."

Zhuge Qiao looked regretful: "Brother Wenlong is leaving now? When you have the opportunity, you must discuss "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" with Brother Wenlong in detail."

It's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" again.

My father is a disciple of the great Confucian Song Zhong. Like Song Zhong, I also annotate the Five Classics!
  Does "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" also deserve me, Pan Zhu, to treat annotations?

Pan Zhu felt bored in his heart, and after a few words of prevarication, he hurriedly left the private room.

"It seems that Pan Jun and Mi Fang are not the same people."

"Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, Jing merchants, barbarian merchants, Chu merchants, my idea is correct. Mi Fang has close contacts with merchants in Jingchu." "If I were Lu Meng, I would definitely take advantage of Mi Fang's preferential treatment to merchants. Come and drag down Mi Fang, the governor of Nanjun."

After Pan Zhu left, Zhuge Qiao's eyes gradually became deep.

Pan Zhu's arrival gave Zhuge Qiao a deeper understanding of the situation in Jingzhou.

"Since Pan Zhu has made it so obvious, if we don't hang out at the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, this self-righteous guy will become suspicious."

"Calculating the time, it's time for Mi Fang to find someone to contact me."

"This era of relying on human communication is troublesome; in later generations, a single phone call can convey the message."

Zhuge Qiao pinned the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in his hand around his waist, picked up the sake and savored it carefully, and asked the singer and dancer to continue playing music and dancing.

It wasn't until dusk that Zhuge Qiao came out of his private room.

With a slightly drunken step, Zhuge Qiao boarded the carriage specially provided for nobles by the song and dance hall and headed to the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce.

Putting aside her character, Mi Fang's abilities are pretty good if we only talk about her business level.

Chambers of commerce can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, which began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, there were relatively few chambers of commerce in the Qin and Han dynasties.

As the governor of a county, Mi Fang was able to set up the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce in Jiangling City, which proved that his foresight in business was at the forefront of the world.

Most county governors actually despise merchants.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the last class.

Not to mention setting up a guild hall, it would be nice if it doesn't suppress businessmen.

"Lü Meng's trick of disguising his soldiers as Chu merchants and crossing the river in white clothes has a lot to do with Mi Fang's emphasis on merchants."

"Mi Fang has been in Nanjun for many years, and businessmen from various places have frequent exchanges. From officials to scholars, they are no longer surprised by the businessmen coming and going."

"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although Mi Fang has made Jiangling City's business more prosperous, it has also laid hidden dangers for Jiangling City."

"Today is a chaotic time where heroes are divided, rather than a unified and prosperous time. When encountering someone like Lu Meng who uses military tactics cunningly, businessmen will also evolve into a military strategy that will lead to victory by surprise."

In front of the Jingchu Chamber of Commerce, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw the scene of people coming and going in the hall even at dusk.

Zhuge Qiao did not get off the carriage, but asked the school swordsman to send a notice to the steward of the Chamber of Commerce.

The content of the notice was simple and direct: Zhuge Qiao, on Guan Yu's order, wanted to inspect the Chamber of Commerce's accounts.

Auditing is a big deal!

The steward did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to the prefect's mansion in person to summon the message.

Zhuge Qiao looked at the steward who was leaving in a hurry, and said lightly: "Mi Zifang, it's time for you to return to Jiangling City."
