Chapter 241: Danger lurks
It's about the same as the counting days.
Sure enough, it was the seed he planted.
No wonder, no wonder!
At the beginning, Yuan Shao withdrew from the army, and Manzhong defeated the official army and took Juye.
Guo Jia was happy, and he was interested for a while, so he took Zhang Ning to a wild meeting in the warehouse.
In other words, that time was Guo Jia's most excited.
Unexpectedly, it was a hit, and I actually won the lottery.
It's not easy, it's not easy!
Thinking of this, Guo Jia suddenly coughed and said, "Huiniang, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and when the son is born, he will be called Guo Ye." ”
Isn't it, the wild combination is naturally called Guo Ye.
Guo Ye!
Zhang Ning muttered two sentences, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Guo Jia again.
She also seemed to understand the meaning of the name.
"How do you know it's a son?"
Zhang Ning asked embarrassedly.
Hahaha!
Guo Jia laughed again.
"Like his father, wild!"
Zhang Ning is pregnant, Guo Jia accompanies Zhang Ning when she is free, and occasionally cultivates for a while to relieve the desire of men and women, and everyone is happy.
He is not worried about government affairs, there is a group of Wenchen subordinates to take care of it.
Basically, they all perform their own duties, and Guo Jia has nothing to do.
He is not worried about the affairs at home, he has Cai Meimei's good wife and mother to watch.
Regarding Zhang Ning's matter, Cai Meimei also showed great sincerity.
She arranged a fine house for Zhang Ning in the house, and sent three or two maidservants to wait, and personally inquired about three meals a day.
This made Guo Jia very satisfied.
Marry a wife and marry Cai Wenji!
This kind of woman, rest assured.
The days went on like this, and soon three months passed.
……
Winter in the north always comes quickly, and after a few heavy rains, the weather is completely cool.
The border county was originally a bit desolate, but now it has experienced another war, and it has not recovered for several months.
The north wind blew, and the ground was frosty and white.
A horse team drove over on the official road in the distance, and there were thousands of people at least.
Ordinary caravans consist of dozens of people, and the maximum number is a few hundred.
Caravans with a size of more than 1,000 are all large caravans.
Such caravans usually come from large tribes.
The purpose of the big caravan is naturally Zhongshan, an important border trade city.
Since Guo Jia promoted border trade, Zhongshan has become the only commercial center on the border.
Whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and other Hu people, they have traveled thousands of miles to transport goods to Zhongshan.
Zhongshan has also gathered countless big businessmen in the mainland.
The two sides traded in Zhongshan City, each taking what they needed.
The whole of Zhongshan gathers all the commercial goods of the grassland and the inland.
The furs and horses of the Xiongnu, the ginseng and Dongzhu of Xianbei, the cattle, sheep, tigers, leopards and mink of the Wuhuan people, as well as the gold and silver utensils of the Saiwaihu people, and occasionally some blonde orchids were pushed out and sold.
Most of the people who bought these orchids were businessmen from the mainland of the Central Plains who were in a hunting mentality.
In Zhongshan, Lunu City was the center of commerce, and almost all the shops were leased by merchants from all over the world.
Merchants who did not have shops simply rented a piece of land on the street and spread blankets to set up stalls.
The city of Lunu is already overcrowded, and it can be regarded as an inch of land.
Guo Jia had promised a long time ago that there would be no tax on transactions in Zhongshan.
It has attracted countless businessmen to move in.
Although they did not pay taxes, these people ate and drank Lazar in the city, and these were not small expenses.
If nothing else, even the daily income from the store's rent alone is an astronomical amount.
The current Zhongshan can be regarded as making money while lying down.
Although the cost here is a little higher, there are business opportunities everywhere, and the businessmen also make a lot of money, so they are naturally not afraid of spending a lot.
In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.
The caravan made money, spent money in Zhongshan, and then made money, and spent again.
Zhongshan became an iron-clad camp, and the merchants became soldiers of flowing water.
Countless fortunes flowed into Zhongshan's purse.
Border trade is not Zhongshan's patent, but after the Zhongshan model came out, the border trade of other border counties was basically finished.
Merchants are born for profit.
There is a place where they can make money without being exploited, and they naturally flock to it.
With the opening of Zhongshan's fame, there are more and more businessmen who come to do business after hearing the news, and Zhongshan's goods are becoming more and more complete.
Whether it is a seller or a buyer, you can find a suitable business path in Zhongshan.
This creates a first-mover effect.
Zhongshan became more and more prosperous, while the trade of other border counties became more and more withered.
In the Han Dynasty, border county trade has always been the way of making money for the imperial court, but after dozens of hundreds of years of development, these ways of making money gradually fell into the hands of the family.
It can be said that border trade is also the financial route of the family.
As soon as Guo Jia's Zhongshan border trade was launched, it immediately occupied most of the border trade share and seized most of the market.
After nearly a year, it has still become a giant in border trade.
Lying down and making money is exactly the portrayal of Zhongshan.
In this way, Zhongshan is full, but the other border trade has nothing to eat.
If Guo Jia is a big family, it is easy to say.
Everyone sat down and discussed.
Since you have entered this circle, you are your own person.
We will all help each other in the future.
There are not many talented people in history, but most of them choose to sit with those people after they rise to jointly protect the interests of this circle.
Guo Jia is an exception.
In the eyes of the family, this guy is a bastard!
He swallowed the entire border trade, and there was not even any scum left, which was completely devoid of people's livelihood.
Being a person with wealth is equivalent to killing his parents, so the family wants to clean up Guo Jia.
But the current emperor is a strange man, and his cronies are the fighters in the wonderful.
As long as the emperor has money to collect, he even dares to sell the throne.
The Ten Standing Attendants are even more powerful.
People don't talk about any rules, they are the nemesis of the family.
As long as the family is unhappy, they will do anything.
They've been working against the family for decades.
Guo Jia's rise has become a bargaining chip in the hands of the Ten Standing Servants to suppress the family.
So they want to protect Guo Jia.
It's not because Guo Jia is handsome, but because Guo Jia can make their opponents unhappy.
If their opponents are unhappy, the ten permanent servants are happy.
With the support of the ten permanent servants, the family couldn't defeat Guo Jia in the court, so they worked hard in other places.
The Yuan family then took the opportunity to clear the Yellow Turban, and launched round after round of attacks on Guo Jia on behalf of the family.
But it's a pity that they underestimated Guo Jia's strength and overestimated their own strength.
In several battles, Guo Jia thwarted the conspiracy of these people and defended the fruits of his victory.
These dignitaries and nobles have suffered losses, so naturally they will not give up.
Guo Jia is a thorn in their throat, and this thorn must be pulled out.
