The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 156
In the history of the Han Dynasty, there were many baby emperors. It was difficult for the emperor to be alone, and it was inevitable that the imperial power would be sidelined. Therefore, it was not uncommon for eunuchs and eunuchs to cover the sky with their hands. It also included the phenomenon of female regency and participation in secret affairs. At this time, It is not uncommon for women to achieve success in the patriarchal social status quo.

Diao Chan is one of the few people around who followed Guo Jia into Yizhou. People from all walks of life in Yizhou who follow Guo Jia also know that there is a Diao Chan in Guo Jia’s mansion that cannot be ignored. She can be seen in every aspect, even though she seems to be just a servant girl, her status is inconspicuous.

Those who want to harm Guo Jia, as long as they buy Diao Chan, they will be able to achieve unexpected results; those who want to attract Guo Jia's attention, just bribe Diao Chan, and let Diao Chan casually mention her name in front of Guo Jia, which is enough to win Guo Jia's heart Leaving traces, this is Diao Chan, a humble person in name, but he cannot but be taken seriously by others.

Letting Diao Chan join the chamber of commerce on behalf of Guo Jia is a last resort and a good choice. Guo Jia can't find a second person with a delicate situation to represent him. Should Zhen Jiang go?Zhen Jiang is the official wife of Guo Jia, and she is from the Zhen family. If she goes, it may not be able to reassure people, let Cai Yan go?Guo Jia said that she would not be given power, and she would not be given the opportunity to buy people's hearts.

"have you understood?"

After Guo Jia explained the affairs of the chamber of commerce to Diao Chan in detail, Diao Chan was silent for a while thoughtfully.

"The servant girl is just representing the general, and what she has to do is to monitor the accounts of the chamber of commerce and deliver news to the general, right?"

Guo Jia showed a slight smile, and Diao Chan could get through with one click, saving worry and effort.

Diao Chan doesn't need to participate in the business, it only needs to share the nominal share, and help Guo Jia keep an eye on the movement in the chamber of commerce, and help Guo Jia pass a message to the chamber of commerce from time to time. After all, Guo Jia wants to use the chamber of commerce to benefit the Yizhou government, and cannot be compelled by government orders. , otherwise the nature of the chamber of commerce will change.

"However, I'm afraid that I won't do well, and I'll ruin the general's affairs. I can't take on such a heavy responsibility." Diao Chan understood, but retreated.

Dealing with countless wealthy merchants in Yizhou, she had no experience, felt humble, and was afraid of making Guo Jia displeased by doing something wrong. Stage fright was also human nature.

Guo Jia encouraged her, and said gently: "Diao Chan, you don't have to be afraid, you don't interfere with the affairs of the chamber of commerce, and you are still in the mansion on weekdays, as always, it is enough to participate when necessary, not to mention the help of the Zhen family. Chamber of Commerce, even if there is a fallout, there is still me, you just need to remember, you represent me, no matter what you do, I will support you, if someone dares to despise you, bully you, I will give you ten times, a hundred times Get it back, remember, everything is up to me, do it boldly."

Diao Chan smiled sweetly, feeling much more at ease in her ups and downs.

The chamber of commerce, which has been making a lot of noise recently, has finally made substantial progress. The Yizhou Chamber of Commerce was established in Chengdu. More than [-] merchants in the [-] counties joined the chamber of commerce, and [-] representatives from each county were elected to form the management of the chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce Sharing commercial information resources, coordinating goods, and conducting commercial sales according to the needs of goods in various places in the first time, greatly improved efficiency, and began to target areas other than Yizhou.

After the agricultural foundation was laid, the establishment of the chamber of commerce stimulated the development of the handicraft industry. The handicraft workshops in various places had chambers of commerce to purchase goods and sell the finished products quickly under the condition of information sharing. Merchants who joined the chamber of commerce found that the goods were sold quickly. , and some goods that were hard to find in the past, it is easy to get them.

The caravan went to the north to do business, and the war horses that Guo Jia wanted could not be transported to Yizhou in large quantities, and the caravans could only buy war horses from horse dealers here and there.

Regarding this situation, Guo Jia is not in a hurry. The lifespan of a horse is generally 20 years, and the horse can be used by the military for eight or nine years. Cavalry army is not difficult.

The power of the gentry lies in their political influence. The gentry depended on the gentry because the gentry needed the material resources of the gentry, and the rich needed the protection of the gentry so that they could seek their own personal gain.

In order to eliminate the dependence of the nobles on the nobles, in addition to completely destroying the nobles, they must also give benefits to the rich and powerful families. After Guo Jia violated the interests of the nobles, he will give them benefits in other ways. In this way, not only the people in Yizhou supported Guo Jia's rule, but also the local wealthy families would gradually support Guo Jia.

The various caravans of the Chamber of Commerce went from Yizhou to Jingzhou in the east and Liangzhou in the north, and the momentum was in full swing, but at this time, Qin Mi ran to Guo Jia to advance and remonstrate.

Ever since he came to serve under Guo Jia as an official, Qin Mi has always been dedicated to serving the public good. When his political opinions are not unified, he will argue with reason. He dares to speak up in front of Guo Jia when others dare not say it. This is Guo Jia. I really appreciate Qin Mi's place.

When Qin Mi arrived, Guo Jia was hugging his youngest son Guo Jin to coax him to sleep. Although it was not a formal occasion, Guo Jia still had to put on a bit of majesty and asked Diao Chan to carry Guo Jin back. Guo Jia tidied up his clothes and waited for Qin Mi.

When he walked into the hall, he met Diao Chan face to face. Qin Mi returned a salute to Diao Chan, and at the same time, his eyes stayed on Guo Jin's face in her arms for a few more seconds.

Striding into the hall, Guo Jia motioned him not to salute, Qin Mi sat down on his knees, but fell into silence with a calm expression, as if he was thinking about words.

"Ziyu, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Seeing Qin Mi's solemn appearance, Guo Jia was also a little surprised. He thought it was just an ordinary business, but it seemed to be something important.

"My lord, may I ask if you know the details of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce?"

Facing Qin Mi's serious expression, Guo Jia said calmly, "I know. Is there any problem with the Chamber of Commerce?"

Is there a hidden danger in the newly established chamber of commerce?

Would an organization like the Chamber of Commerce threaten Guo Jia's rule?meeting!Merchants unite to hoard goods, they can control prices and affect people's livelihood.But will they do it?Do you dare to do this?This is a feudal society!Those who dare to oppose the ruler will either overthrow the ruler, or seize the family and exterminate the entire family!If one day the chamber of commerce is out of the control of Guo Jia, then Guo Jia can build the chamber of commerce, and he can also destroy the chamber of commerce!It's nothing more than overthrowing and starting over.

If Qin Mi was reminding Guo Jia that the chamber of commerce was a double-edged sword, then Guo Jia would only think that Qin Mi was worrying unnecessarily. At least for now, the chamber of commerce is an existence that can bring benefits to Yizhou.

"My lord, although there are fourteen leaders in the chamber of commerce, Zhen Yu's influence is extraordinary among them. Mi implores my lord to let the Zhen family withdraw from the chamber of commerce!"

Qin Mi looked at Guo Jia solemnly. After Guo Jia pondered for a while, he somewhat understood Qin Mi's intentions.

When Guo Jia was silent, Qin Mi explained his reasons for admonishing.

"There are five obstructions in human masters: when ministers close their masters, they are obstructed; if they control wealth, they are obstructed; if they act without authorization, they are obstructed; if they have to do justice, they are obstructed; if they have to cultivate people, they are obstructed. position; ministers control wealth, and the master loses virtue; ministers who act without authorization, the master loses control; ministers who practice righteousness, the master loses sight; ministers who cultivate people, the master loses the party. The reason why the master is unique is that The reason why non-human ministers get fucked. Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao has already held an important position in Yizhou Prefecture, and the main wife is also the daughter of Zhen's family. Now, Zhen Yu has a high status in the Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhen family is already in Yizhou. A family that is only inferior to the lord, is the lord going to let this situation develop?"

Qin Mi's words were sincere, not to suppress dissidents. He was loyal to Guo Jia because he had a heart of sincerity. He didn't care about honor, disgrace, gains or losses. Could it be that he was the only one who could see that the Zhen family was powerful?No, but he was the only one who came to speak to Guo Jia immediately.

Staring blankly at Qin Mi, Guo Jia knew that Qin Mi still had something to say, but they both knew each other.

Guo Jin!

Establishing a descendant, establishing a long, and establishing a virtuous, when inheriting the family business, the first thing to consider is to establish a descendant to inherit the family business. The birth of Guo Jin means that the stronger Guo Jia is, the more amazing the honor the Zhen family will receive in the future.

As for why Qin Mi didn't tell Guo Jin, because he was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about establishing an heir.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were too many such lessons learned. When the foreign relatives were powerful, the nobles in the court would follow the lead. Although Guo Jia had not yet reached that height, he could prevent the erroneous progress and kill hidden dangers in the cradle. It was Qin Mi who had to remind Guo Jia of.

The second son of the Zhen family, the third son is in the official position, and the eldest son is in the business. Pin your hopes on the loyalty of the Zhen family.

Loyalty often disappears along with power and ambition!

"Thousands of troubles are too serious for ministers, and thousands of troubles are too trustworthy. The master's public troubles are also. My lord, Mi understands these truths better than I do, but at this time, don't act emotionally."

Qin Mi is still persuading Guo Jia, hoping to reduce the influence of the Zhen family. Between officials and businessmen, it is obviously easier to cut off the business of the Zhen family, and it will not chill the hearts of the Zhen family.

After a while of silence in the hall, Guo Jia looked at Qin Mi with a lot of emotion in his heart.

He has Qin Mi, which made him realize the feeling of studying history and seeing Tang Taizong have Wei Zheng.

Qin Mi's words were reasonable, but harsh.

"Ziyu, I will keep your words in mind, but you have to know that although Yizhou is peaceful, the world is still in troubled times. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. Zhen Yu's role in the chamber of commerce is immeasurable. We The Zhen family cannot be suppressed at this time."

The shadow of a famous tree, Zhen Yu is a big banner that makes merchants flock to him. If it were someone else, he would not have such appeal and cohesion.

Guo Jia's words made Qin Mi sigh slightly, he bowed his hands to Guo Jia with some disappointment and said, "My lord, if the world is at peace, I hope my lord can still see the situation clearly, and make a decision when it is right."

Guo Jia can't think about suppressing the Zhen family now, he can't even keep this thought in his mind, he is recuperating, he is accumulating strength, he needs talents, he needs more people to work for him, it is far from the time to check and balance .

But if one day the Zhen family develops enough to threaten Guo Jia's rule, Guo Jia will not be relentless.

If the love minister is too close, he will endanger himself.The subject is too expensive, and the master must be changed!
