Border trade declined, merchants fled, and Yunzhou was about to face a fiscal deficit.

Cai Yu proposed to impose heavy penalties on the merchants to punish them for their greed towards Qin and Chu, but Su Qinglian objected.

Because this is a stupid trick to kill chickens and take eggs, Su Qinglian naturally will not agree.

The two went toe-for-tat, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Everyone was slightly embarrassed, not to persuade, not to persuade.

Originally, everyone was still more supportive of Su Qingpian, but it was not easy to refute Cai Yu.

Although the two daughters both have public offices, their most important identity is Guo Jia's lover.

The two lovers quarreled, and they both carried private goods, and they were not easy to intervene for a while, so they had to watch their noses and noses care.

It's not them who have a headache anyway.

"Are you threatening me?"

Cai Yu asked coldly.

Can't!

Su Qinglian smiled faintly and said, "The little woman is just talking about things. If the commander felt that this was a threat, the little woman had nothing to say. ”

She was born in a businessman, and her eloquence was naturally good, and Cai Yu, who was blocked by a few words, couldn't speak.

What a sharp tooth!

Cai Yu snorted and said, "Don't think I don't know what your idea is. A businessman is a businessman, even if the Su family has become the number one family in Yunzhou, they still can't get rid of the nature of profiteers. You have already opened a business in Xudu, and in time you will transfer your assets to Yuzhou. ”

She took a deep breath and said coldly: "With our Skynet here, you don't want to just run away." ”

Hehe!

Su Qinglian also sneered and said, "Second Miss Cai, your tone is too big. The big businesses in Yunzhou are transferring assets, how much has your Skynet intercepted? Even if our Su family wants to transfer assets, it is not something that you, a layman, can stop. ”

You......

Cai Yu was completely enraged, and said: "From now on, I will stare at your Su family for twelve hours a day, and not a single grass of your Su family will try to get out of Yunzhou." ”

I don't know what to say!

Su Qinglian just glanced at her, her eyes were very disdainful and full of sarcasm.

Ok ok!

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little big.

Too many women is really troublesome.

"The most important thing now is to fundamentally solve the crisis of the outflow of businessmen, not to let the two of you quarrel. Will arguing solve the problem? ”

Guo Jia is majestic, and each person will play 50 boards first.

He is also a little unhappy in his heart, and he asked you to solve problems, not quarrel.

Isn't this a loss of face?

Seeing Guo Jia speak, the two daughters died down, and they also knew that it was unwise to continue arguing.

Guo Jia snorted, and suddenly glanced at Jia Xu.

I saw that this guy was still smiling, and he looked like he didn't care about himself.

This old fox!

Thinking that he was calculated by this guy, Guo Jia felt a little angry in his heart.

According to Guo Jia's character, it is impossible to win Zhang Ji's widow, but he fell for Jia Xu by mistake.

The matter between the two is already a matter of time, even if Guo Jia wants to regret it.

Today's Zou Yuan has become one of the hostesses of the Guo family.

The reason is all because of Jia Xu.

But this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Zou Yuan is actually the body of Sheng Yin that he dreamed of, through these days of harmony, Guo Jia obviously felt that his body was slowly recovering.

So the disgust with this guy has decreased a little.

"Jia Xu, what should you do?"

Guo Jia said suddenly.

This guy enjoys Jiuqing's treatment leisurely, but he doesn't do anything, and occasionally slaps Guo Jia, which makes Guo Jia's heart jealous and unbalanced.

Hearing Guo Jia call himself, Jia Xu hugged his fists and said, "I think what the commander said makes sense." Since the shrinkage of Yunzhou's border trade is irresistible, it is better to levy heavy taxes on merchants while it is not yet the worst, which is also a way to stop losses in time. ”

"What the gentleman said is that it should be so!"

Seeing Jia Xu supporting him, Cai Yu came to his senses, and he saw that this beard was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

Alas!

Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

He had forgotten his identity as a poisoner.

This guy is notoriously unscrupulous in order to achieve his ends.

Knowing that the border trade can't hold on, it's better to get a handful of wool as soon as possible, although it will damage the reputation of Yunzhou, but how much is the reputation worth? Can it be eaten as a meal?

Border trade is the pillar of Yunzhou, once it is over, what will the hundreds of thousands of troops be raised?

For a jealous and pragmatic person like Jia Xu, Cai Yu's method is more in line with his temper.

Forget it!

Guo Jia already regretted holding this meeting a little, because one of the people present was counted as one, and only Su Qinglian understood business, and only Su Qinglian could share his worries with him at the moment.

"You guys go back first, I'm going to think about it."

Guo Jia waved his hand helplessly.

Everyone looked at each other and retreated.

Cai Yu glanced at Su Qinglian coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Su Qinglian didn't leave in a hurry, because she knew that Guo Jia had something to say.

Sure enough, Guo Jia got up slowly.

"Qing Lian, do you think Yunzhou's border trade can still be saved?"

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The reason why Yunzhou's border trade is prosperous is because there are millions of grassland nomads in the north. They are in dire need of goods from the Central Plains. However, after several wars, the general has wiped out the nomadic herds of the steppe, and the rest have fled to the depths of the steppe. The balance between supply and demand has been broken, and the decline of border trade is a matter of course. ”

In fact, she also didn't understand why Guo Jiafei wanted to exterminate the grassland nomads, which would cut off the financial route of Yunzhou's border trade.

From a business point of view, it is extremely unwise.

Alas!

Guo Jia sighed again.

Eradicating grassland nomadism is something he must do when he crosses over.

He didn't want to mess around again.

But Heaven is fair, opening a door for you closes a window at the same time.

The disadvantage of eradicating steppe nomadism is the precipitous decline of border trade.

"Is there any way to save it now?"

Guo Jia asked softly.

Eradicating grassland nomadism is a foregone conclusion, and what he wants to do now is to reduce the impact on Yunzhou's border trade.

Su Qing sighed for a moment and said, "First, reduce taxes and reduce the cost of living for businessmen in Yunzhou. Second, we should increase the commercial and trade development of the Western Regions and Liaodong. Third, reward businessmen to come to Yunzhou to do business. But ......"

She shook her head helplessly and said, "This is also an expedient measure. ”

Merchants are profit-seeking!

Once Yunzhou's border trade can't make them profitable, they will not hesitate to leave.

"There's no other way?"

Guo Jia asked without giving up.

Yunzhou's border trade is the biggest financial pillar, and once it is finished, everything will go bankrupt.

Creating new economic growth points is an urgent issue to be solved at present.
