The Three Kingdoms

On February [-]th, after the establishment of Chen Qun's business office, it immediately invested nearly one billion yuan in funds dispatched from the treasury, which can be regarded as stabilizing the market in Yecheng.

This favorable situation made Cao Cao overjoyed, and even made Wei Guochaotang approve of Chen Qun's method of using business to fight business.

However, prices in Jizhou are still chaotic. If he wants to stabilize the entire Jizhou, he cannot rely solely on the funds from the treasury of the State of Wei.

According to the current statistics, the Northland Chamber of Commerce has invested at least tens of billions of dollars in Jizhou. No one knows how much money the Northland Chamber of Commerce still has.

Once the situation becomes more chaotic, troops must be mobilized to suppress it. This is something that the entire Wei State does not want to see.

After Chen Qun got Cao Cao's permission.He began to think about using the power of merchants to fight against the funds of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

Wu State has always been rich, and in Wu State, merchants are very powerful.The Northland Chamber of Commerce gathers the merchants of Wu State and the State Treasury of Wu State. It is absolutely rich and powerful. The funds of the State Treasury of Wei State alone are not enough to deal with it.

So he had to gather the strength of the merchants of Wei State.

Of course, it is not an easy task for these merchants to willingly spend money to fight against the funds of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

Business House.

A brand new mansion.It was built next door to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

in the lobby.

Chen Qun knelt and sat in the first place, and Cao Ang, the eldest prince of Wei State, sat quietly beside him.There are more than a dozen merchants sitting on the left and right sides, and these merchants are all famous merchants from the four prefectures under the jurisdiction of Wei State.

"Why do you think Wei Guo summoned us so hastily?"

"not sure!"

"We were all from the Jin Kingdom before, so they won't settle accounts after the fall!"

"It's not just our merchants in Jizhou, there are also many merchants in Yuzhou. Merchants in Yanzhou, it shouldn't be possible!"

"Maybe it's because of the recent market chaos in Jizhou!"

"Is it for the Northland Chamber of Commerce?"

"..."

These merchants began to whisper in a low voice amidst the dull atmosphere in the lobby.

They are well-known in Ji, Yan, Henan, Qing, and four states, and their assets are extraordinary. When facing Cao Ang and Chen Qun.Obviously a little cautious.

After all, their status is very low.

In the state of Jin, the family is the only one, and in the state of Wei.The power of aristocratic families also occupies half of the country, so whether it is Jin or Wei, the status of merchants is still very low.

Now the State of Wei governs the four states, gathering the territory of the State of Wei and Jin in the past, but the market conditions of merchants are basically the same.

These merchants are often suppressed by powerful families.There is a sense of inferiority in my heart, facing the behemoth of the court.Just saying a word can ruin their family, so they are naturally more afraid.

And recently Wei Guo put the focus on Jizhou, and they are not clear about the economic situation in Jizhou, and there are still a lot of ginseng that they are doing and go in to stock up and sell at high prices.

Suddenly being summoned by the court, they were very disturbed, and they looked at Cao Ang and Chen Qun with both eyes.

They don't quite understand the meaning of the establishment of the Commercial Mansion, but Chen Qun and the others are not familiar with the meaning, but Cao Ang and the others dare not ignore it in the slightest.

Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, the current great princes of the Wei State, have great influence both in the court and in the military. They are the first heirs of the Wei State and the best candidates for the crown prince.

"Everyone, do you know why we are here?"

Chen Qun raised his head, glanced across the crowd, and asked calmly.

"Master Chen, it should be for the affairs of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, right?" A smart merchant looked at Chen Qun and replied in a low voice.

The Northland Chamber of Commerce is a bit unfamiliar in Wei, but they are not unfamiliar in the business circle of Jizhou. Over the years, even if the merchants in Jizhou have not joined the Northland Chamber of Commerce, they have more or less heard of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

"The shopkeeper Luo is very smart!"

Hearing this, Chen Qun's eyes moved slightly, looking at the merchant, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "A certain company heard that Luo's Workshop was also a member of the Northland Chamber of Commerce before, is that right?"

"Master Chen, Luo's Workshop has separated from the Northland Chamber of Commerce a few months ago, please enlighten me!"

The owner of the Luo Family Workshop is Luo Cheng, who is in his forties and a big merchant in Ye City.He was tall and thin, and looked very shrewd. When he heard Chen Qun's words, he quickly stood up and pleaded guilty tremblingly.

The details of the Northland Chamber of Commerce are not a secret in Jizhou. Before the Jin State threatened the merchants tightly, many people joined the Chamber of Commerce. However, when the Jin State was destroyed and the Wei State accepted Jizhou, the merchants in the Northland Chamber of Commerce It just cracked.

Many merchants have broken away from the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce, and Luo's Workshop is also considered to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Jizhou is not under the jurisdiction of the State of Wu, and many people are unwilling to become members of the chamber of commerce secretly, and they also think about when they will be discovered by the Chaotang of the State of Wei, and all the families will be executed.

"I'm afraid that not only shopkeeper Luo, who is present here, once belonged to the Northland Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Chen Qun glanced over and said coldly.

The ghost soldier had already sent a copy of the situation of the Northland Chamber of Commerce to the business office. Chen Qun knew that more than [-]% of the well-known merchants in Jizhou were under the jurisdiction of the Northland Chamber of Commerce.

It can be seen here.Thinking about the influence of the Northland Chamber of Commerce in Jizhou, he shuddered.

"Hehe. Didn't expect that there are so many people with different hearts under the nose of our country Wei?"

Cao Ang matched Chen Qun's momentum relatively, he smiled coldly with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Prince, please forgive me. The Northland Chamber of Commerce, which we have already left, is loyal to Wei Guo!"

Several merchants in Jizhou stood up and pleaded guilty with some trepidation.

Are you here today to question your sin?

The other merchants were also a little apprehensive.Staring at the superior Chen Qun and Cao Ang, the two threatened them.But something quieted down.

"I invited you all here today, it's not an accusation!"

Chen Qun said: "The previous matter was the Jin State's affairs, and the Jin State has already been destroyed. Wei State can ignore that you have joined the Northland Chamber of Commerce, but in the future, anyone who has this situation will betray Wei State, and the whole family When destroyed!"

"I dare not wait!"

Everyone quickly bowed their heads and made a respectful promise.

"A certain family can understand you. The businessmen of Wu State have a high status, and many people yearn for Wu State, but understanding is understanding. Wei State is not Jin State, and Wei State does not allow anyone to betray!"

Chen Qun said calmly, wanting to use them.They must be suppressed first.

"My lord, we were all helpless before!" A merchant in Jizhou said with a wry smile: "The state of Jin treats us so harshly, we can't survive, so we can only rely on Beishang Chamber of Commerce, but when we know that the merchants in Beidi belong to Wu Under the national flag, we have all withdrawn from the chamber of commerce!"

"I know. In fact, you all yearn for merchants in Wu, right?" Chen Qunruo said pointedly.

Everyone heard the words.Peeping at each other, not daring to make a sound.
