Afterwards, no matter how the potter tried to test it, the master did not speak.The potter had no choice but to agree to compare this transaction, and the two parties made a delivery.

"We're going back next?" Liu Shang said.

"Are you out of your mind? Find another place to sell the remaining goods!" said the pottery merchant.

If they go back with half a load of goods, they will definitely become a joke in Yangzhou.

Most definitely.

"Besides, it seems that something big happened in Youzhou, we can pay attention to it." Tao Shang said, they are not only doing business, but also have the responsibility of collecting information, Tao merchants never dare to forget.

Liu Shang nodded.

This time they went to an unfamiliar place and encountered a group of robbers. Fortunately, there were not many of them, only more than 100.

Liu Shang fought bravely and repelled the bandits, and also lost a dozen sailors.

"Damn it, why is the law and order here so bad?" the potter complained.

"Is it surprising? This is all Gongsun Zan's territory, and Gongsun Zan is the biggest bandit here. Some bandit dens with thousands of people will be destroyed, and the government will not bother with only 100 people." Liu Shangdao.

"I heard that a while ago, Gongsun Zan was so crazy that he went to the grassland to kill people and set fire to them, and stole a lot of things," Tao Shang said.

"So, the ethos of Youzhou has long been spoiled by him." Liu Shang said disdainfully.

They entered the local county town before dark, and at the same time they sold the goods, they heard a piece of news.

Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu seems to be going to deal with Gongsun Zan, the biggest boy in the territory.

Tao Shang and Liu Shang looked at each other, and both could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.War has always been no small matter.

A while ago, Dongyanghou's 30 troops marched northward and captured Xuzhou. It can be said that the soldiers were bloodless and did not experience many bloody battles.

However, Liu Yu is different from Gongsun Zan, they represent the two biggest forces in Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan represented the military forces in Youzhou, and used looting of grasslands as a means of development, and Wuhuan's head was their way of promotion.Even though the central government is now in chaos, Gongsun Zan has not stopped this killing activity, and often leads his troops to the grassland in person.

Liu Yu represents the power of the family in Youzhou, and they are the real controllers of Youzhou.It's just that the method they adopted was relatively mild, that is, they traded with the grassland people.When Liu Yu was not serving as a shepherd in Youzhou, the aristocratic family secretly sold salt and ironware to the grassland, and the grassland people were not satisfied, and often entered Youzhou to plunder.

After Liu Yu became the shepherd of Youzhou, the first thing to change is this, to encourage merchants to trade.For the aristocratic family, there is no need for them to be sneaky, and they have made a lot of money, so they have Liu Yu in their hearts.For the prairie people, robbing is risky, and they get more from trade, so they also love Gong Liu Yu.

In this way, Gongsun Zan became a rule breaker.

"After the goods are sold, we will leave as soon as possible!" Liu Shang said.

"No, don't forget our responsibilities, check the news before leaving." The potter insisted.

Liu Shang finally agreed. He knew that this confidant had never given up the idea of ​​being an official.

In this way, the Tao merchant and Liu Shang inquired about the news, and finally confirmed that the rumors that Liu Yu was going to deal with Gongsun Zan were true. Liu Yu had raised 20 troops and marched towards Gongsun Zan's territory in a mighty manner.

At this moment, the whole Youzhou was in a panic.

So the two immediately returned to Yangzhou by boat and did not stop there.

As soon as the two of them got off the boat, they were stopped by the yamen servants and said, "Your Excellency Chen welcomes you!"

Which Master Chen?

Tao Shang and Liu Shang had doubts, and met Mr. Chen, who was none other than Chen Qun.

"I heard that you just came back from Youzhou?" Chen Qun asked.

"Yes." They both replied at the same time.

"Did something important happen in Youzhou?" Chen Qun keenly caught the change in the expressions of the two.

"Liu Yu launched an army to attack Gongsun Zan." The potter replied.

Chen Qun fell into deep thought, which is understandable.After waiting for a while, Chen Qun still asked, "Do you know the Youzhou Plan?"

The Tao merchant was very surprised, and said: "I don't know..." Then he looked at Liu Shang, who also shook his head.

"My lord, is this plan important?" Liu Shang asked curiously.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Chen Qun said perfunctorily, and let the two back off.

After Liu Shang left, he couldn't forget the so-called Youzhou Project.

"Don't think about it too much, the Youzhou Project is related to a state, how could I tell you?" Tao Shang said.

"I'm just curious!" Liu Shangdao, "Do you think it has something to do with the war in Youzhou?"

"It's possible..." the potter deduced, but he wasn't quite sure.

"Liu Yu is the same as Dongyang Hou, both are clan relatives of the Han Dynasty, but the two are very different in ability. If it wasn't for Yangzhou's support, Liu Yu would have died a long time ago!" Liu Shangdao.

"Is the state shepherd you talking about casually?" The pottery merchant rolled his eyes and said.

"Cut, can the state shepherds of other states still control me?" Liu Shang said indifferently.

"Don't talk too much, if Liu Yu suddenly erupts and kills Gongsun Zan, wouldn't he have the final say on the whole of Youzhou? When someone catches your handle, it will be bloody again." Tao Tao Business way.

"You think too much, no matter what, I am from Yangzhou! As long as my household registration is in Yangzhou, what else can they do to me?" Liu Shang asked back.

Indeed, now Yangzhou is developing continuously, Liu Ke's reputation is constantly expanding, and the status of Yangzhou merchants is rising.

Even when the allied forces opposed Liu Ke, the allied forces would seize the supplies of the Chamber of Commerce, but they dared not harm the merchants in Yangzhou, because Liu Ke provided shelter.
