Dong Zhuo left, and the Kwantung coalition army occupied Luoyang.

However, they only got an empty city.

Sun Jian obtained the jade seal and withdrew from the crusade, and Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo alone and was defeated, and led his troops back to Dongjun in a fit of rage.

Everyone began to quarrel, Yuan Shao saw that there was nothing to do, and led the army back to Qingzhou, and the alliance soon collapsed.

……

The eastern part of the country is a scorched earth, but Nanyang, Jingzhou is very rich, and it is still very peaceful under the governance of Yuan Shu.

Due to the war in the Kanto region, the trade route to the north was blocked, and the merchants stopped at Nanyang.

They came here to be idle, waiting for the war to end, and at the same time to start trading on the spot, which actually created the prosperity of Nanyang.

Soon Wanxian County entered a caravan with a scale of two or three hundred people, under the banner of the Zhen family in Yunzhou.

Due to the rise of Yunzhou border trade, the Su family and the Zhen family, with the support of Guo Jia, became one of the largest merchants in the north.

Is there anyone who does business who doesn't know the Zhen family?

Although there are a lot of people from the Zhen family, it is nothing in the whole Nanyang.

Because the big caravans that stayed in Wanxian abounded, they all had no choice but to stay in Nanyang because the road to the north was blocked.

"What a peaceful paradise!"

Seeing the affluent scene in Nanyang City, Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded.

This caravan is naturally a banner specially played by Guo Jia in order to hide people's eyes.

The largest county in the Central Plains is really not built.

Wanxian County is shoulder to shoulder and overcrowded.

The population of Nanyang County is almost as large as that of Yunzhou and Youzhou combined.

With such a large population base, the city is full of potential for business and trade.

It's a pity!

Guo Jia shook his head.

The geographical location of Nanyang is very special, there is no danger to defend, it belongs to the land of four wars, and it is easy to become a commercial center, but the Central Plains is a little turbulent, and it will be affected immediately.

It is precisely for this reason that after Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao shouted evil, he immediately gave up Nanyang, a place that had no danger to defend, and went to the southeast and Huai, and finally achieved a hegemony.

In other words, Nanyang is not enough to become the cornerstone of hegemony.

"Fengxiao, ahead is the branch of the Zhen family!"

Zhen Tuo said with a smile.

This time she went south, Guo Jia also brought this girl with her, firstly, she was more familiar with this side of the matter, and secondly, she was also cultivating and cultivating feelings.

After all, she is also his woman.

The Zhen family is one of the largest merchants in the north, with branches in major cities.

Nanyang is naturally no exception.

Seeing his second lady coming back, the housekeeper of the Zhen family hurriedly welcomed a group of people in.

"Second Miss, why are you here?"

The steward said respectfully.

Zhen Tuo smiled slightly and said, "Come out for a walk when you have nothing to do." What, not welcome? ”

For the sake of safety, the caravan came under the banner of the Zhen family, with Zhen Tuo as the main thing, and Guo Jia pretended to be her entourage.

"Where to speak, where to speak! Little ones are welcome! ”

The housekeeper of the Zhen family hurriedly laughed.

Although it is outside, the affairs of the Zhen family, this person in charge is also very clear.

The master of the Zhen family died three years ago, and the head of the family has the second young master of the Zhen family to inherit, but this second young master has a weak personality, and he has not been able to suppress the following for three years.

Not long ago, there was a plague in Yunzhou, and the Zhen family almost fell apart, if it weren't for the second lady Zhen Tuo who was born, the Zhen family might have collapsed.

This second lady is a powerful person, and she will suppress the rest of the Zhen family by dividing it by two, and she has become a veritable head of the family.

It won't be long before the Zhen family is the world of this second young lady.

The housekeeper of the Zhen family is called Zhen Chang, and he is also the old man of the Zhen family, but he has been out all the time and rarely goes back, so naturally he doesn't recognize Guo Jia.

The Zhen family's stronghold in Nanyang is a large cargo station, which undertakes the logistics of the Zhen family's caravan going south and north.

However, during this time, Si was at war, the trade route was cut off, and the Zhen family's goods were backlogged here.

Zhen Tuo made an inspection and couldn't help frowning.

Judging from the ledger, this stronghold of the Zhen family should have hoarded a large amount of goods, why is it that she only sees a small part now.

"Zhen Chang, you are so bold!"

She was a little displeased.

Zhen Chang was a little taken aback when he heard this.

"Second Miss, where does this start?"

Zhen Tuo snorted and said, "There is a serious discrepancy between the things in your inventory and the accounts, where are the missing things?" ”

Who knew that it was okay if she didn't ask, but when she asked Zhen Chang, she was full of bitterness.

"Miss, you don't know! The princes of the Ten Roads crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and the capital was in turmoil, and the trade route had long been cut off. Those people in the Kwantung Army are all hungry wolves, and it is unceremonious to encounter a caravan. It is a small matter to rob your goods, and some even take people and mules and horses to be strong men. Some time ago, a lot of caravans were broken, and everyone was miserable. The war went on for a while, and no one dared to go north. It can only be taken here. ”

Zhen Tuo's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot.

There is indeed a war ahead, and the road is impassable, and she is also clear.

"Even if the road ahead is impassable, you can wait here with peace of mind, how can those stocks be so small?"

Zhen Tuo was a little puzzled.

Second Miss!

Zhen Chang sighed and said, "People and horses can wait, but there are some goods that it can't wait, especially like those fresh goods, which will rot after a long time." Instead of rotting and being worthless, it is better to sell it here to reduce some losses. Besides, so many people live here, and it is a lot of consumption for people to eat and chew every day. We were forced to sell some of our goods. ”

He took out an account and arched his hand: "The loss of the goods and all the expenses are in this book." Please take a look at the second lady. ”

I see!

Zhen Tuo nodded slowly and closed the account.

"I'm really sorry for you."

If it were her, she would probably do the same.

This Nanyang seems to be prosperous, but in fact, due to the gathering of people, prices have risen very sharply, and the price of grain is almost comparable to that of the border counties.

"It's good that Miss understands!"

Zhen Chang said gratefully.

He coughed and said, "Miss must be tired from afar, so let people prepare for the small one, and wash the dust for Miss." ”

"Alright, there you go!"

Zhen Tuo nodded.

Zhen Changru was re-released and went out.

After this Zhen Chang left, Guo Jia suddenly said, "There is something wrong with this person." ”

What the?

Zhen Tuo was stunned for a moment, and said puzzled: "He is the old man of the Zhen family, and the accounts are clear, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" ”

Hehe!

Guo Jia smiled faintly.

Although this girl is smart, it is still a little simple.

From the moment Zhen Chang came in, Guo Jia has been looking at the person.

As he spoke, his eyes kept rolling and he kept rubbing his hands, obviously hiding something.

It seems that things are not as above board as he says.

Most of the time there is something this guy hiding from Zhen Tuo.
