In a county's bureaucracy.

A meritorious official can be said to be a well-deserved high-ranking official.

First of all, the responsibility of this official position itself is to assess and record the merits and achievements of county officials.

In layman's terms, he is the organizational director of the county.

As a small local court, the prefecture was not small in scale, well-equipped, and had a large number of officials at all levels.

The county governor is so high up that he has no time to accurately arrange everyone's promotion route. Who controls the promotion paths of the large number of middle and low-level officials?

Isn’t he just a meritorious officer in the county?

In addition, meritorious officials, in addition to their own duties, also have the right to participate in and discuss government affairs as a rule.

In other words, the ministers of the organization were appointed to the Standing Committee, and the Minister of Civil Affairs was appointed to the cabinet. You can imagine how awesome this is.

Basically, except for the county magistrate who can take charge of the government affairs of a county, the meritorious officials have a high status.

Therefore, Cao Ang raised Shen Pei to such a position in one breath, which was definitely a great addition.

As long as the judge can understand the meaning and understand who is making an exceptional promotion to him.

Then this loyalty is absolutely indispensable!

And after arranging this matter.

Cao Ang was planning to take a short rest and wait until the dinner in the evening to reassure everyone.

However, Cao Ren mentioned something.

But it disrupted Cao Ang's plans.



"Zhongshan Zhenshi!"

"Could it be the Zhen family that originated from Wuji County in Zhongshan State and once had a great reputation in the world, claiming to have inherited two thousand stones from generation to generation?"

At this moment, in the study room of the Prefect's Mansion, Cao Ang frowned slightly and looked a little confused when he asked Cao Ren such a question.

But if someone can observe carefully.

can be clearly discovered.

Under Cao Ang's seemingly frowning, puzzled face, there was a hint of excitement hidden underneath.

And after hearing Cao Ang's inquiry.

Cao Ren immediately reported what happened to Cao Ang in detail.

"What the general said is true. He was born in the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan State. A few days ago, after the subordinates purged the former governor Li Hong and many of his followers, one of his sons came to visit the governor's mansion."

"According to what he said, he is the second son of the Zhongshan Zhen family, named Zhen Yao."

"His father is the late Zhen Yi of Shangcai Ling. His brother is currently serving as the county magistrate of Quliang County in Wei County, and he himself is responsible for the business affairs of the Zhen family."

After briefly explaining what happened.

Cao Ren thought about his words again in his mind.

Then he continued to add.

"Originally, my subordinates didn't pay much attention to this person, but after Mr. Gongda mentioned it, I realized that the Zhen family in Zhongshan has declined."

"But as a century-old prominent family in Zhongshan Kingdom, it is still very influential in Jizhou. Moreover, Zhen Yao's brother Zhen Yan is a member of Wei County after all, so he can be treated kindly."



Listening to Cao Ren's narration.

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

Then he asked, "Then why does this person want to see you? Is he looking for a future for his brother, or is he looking for a way out for his family?"

This is a pretty good question.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment.

Then after thinking for a few seconds, he said to Cao Ang hesitantly: "In the eyes of my subordinates, it should be considered a way out for the family."

"He came to me because he wanted the Zhen family to be able to establish a connection with the county government. In other words, in the future, the county government would be able to purchase some supplies they need from their family's business first."

"After all, this matter is of great importance. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I have come to ask the general for advice. Please make up your mind on this matter."

Cao Ang finally understood.

After waiting for a long time, Zhen Yao actually wanted to obtain the exclusive agency rights and become the primary designated partner of the Cao family in Wei County.

It is also commonly known as official business.

Tsk!

This little guy is quite smart. No wonder he can expand his business. In addition to being well-connected and famous in Jizhou, his business acumen should not be underestimated.

After thinking about it for a while.

Cao Ang immediately said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, you will bring him here later. I will meet him in person and listen to what he has to say."

"ah?"

Cao Ren subconsciously screamed in surprise.

This...isn't this right?

He mentioned this matter to ask the general to make a decision. Only with Cao Ang's approval could Cao Ren give Zhen Yao a definite answer.

For this reason, Cao Ren also specially copied down the price Zhen Yao had previously offered so that Cao Ang could use it as a reference, but it turned out that it was no longer useful.

The general actually wanted to meet Zhen Yao in person!

Is the Zhen family in Zhongshan really so prestigious?

However, Cao Ren didn't think about it carefully. His general probably had some deep considerations.

Or maybe he was just more interested in this family, or even Zhen Yao himself.

So these thoughts flashed through my mind.

Cao Ren responded without hesitation: "This man is currently waiting for news in Yecheng. My subordinates will send someone to call him over later."



After the two discussed a few more things.

Only then did Cao Ren bid farewell to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang ordered his servants to clean up the table and replace the tea utensils.

Then he waited quietly while Cao Ren sent someone to summon Zhen Yao.

Leaning against the window of the study, Cao Ang looked at the slightly brighter blue sky outside the house and couldn't help but chuckle, and then thoughts came to his mind.

The reason why he wanted to meet Zhen Yao in person.

Naturally, it's not for the Zhen family's sake.

The Zhongshan Zhen family was indeed a very big family more than a hundred years ago, and its ancestor Zhen Han was a famous figure who could be recorded in history books.

At the turn of the Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang was in power, the children of the Zhen family were extremely active. I don't know how many of them served as high-ranking officials in the court, and they were even known as the "Four Zhens" at that time.

And it was by virtue of this that the Zhen family of Zhongshan became a famous family in Zhongshan Kingdom, inheriting the position of two thousand stones from generation to generation.

But this is all glory of the past after all.

All the glory has become yesterday's smoke and clouds.

A century-old family that has lived up to its literal meaning has only lasted for more than a hundred years. Today, the Zhen family is nothing more than a down-and-out family.

The most promising person of the previous generation was actually Shangcai Ling Zhenyi, the county magistrate.

If it were not for the two smarter brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao in this generation, with one pursuing an official career and the other a business career, how could the Zhen family have lived a comfortable life.



So just by the family itself.

It wasn't enough for Cao Ang to look high at him.

The reason why he made the decision to meet Zhen Yao in person.

In addition to being more interested in absorbing the Zhen family as officials and businessmen of Wei County, he was more interested in this matter.

The rest is more important.

It’s just that Zhen Yao has a good sister.

Zhen Mi!

This girl Cao Ang is quite interested.

A peerless beauty known as the Goddess of Luo, with an alluring appearance that was instantly famous, she is a well-deserved super beauty.

Just ask anyone who might not be interested!

Of course, Zhen Mi is still a little girl, less than ten years old, and Cao Ang is not a pervert, so it is impossible for him to have any thoughts about such a little loli.

But this doesn't prevent him from getting in touch with the little girl in advance, cultivating their relationship, and cultivating it well. Wouldn't it be natural in the future?

Besides, it's above Zhen Mi.

She also has four sisters.

hiss……

Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit irritated!

It is precisely because of this that Cao Ang plans to get in touch with Zhen Yao. On the one hand, through the binding of interests, he will firmly tie the Zhen family to his battleship and further bind the girls he is interested in.

On the other hand, it is to take a look at his future uncle and learn some inside information.



Zhen Yao did not keep Cao Ang waiting for too long.

As soon as Cao Ren's men were notified, he rushed over here without stopping.

Not long after.

He had already appeared in the study room of the prefect's mansion.

As the footsteps came closer and closer, and he quickly stood in front of the study door, Cao Ang couldn't help but look up and look at the young man who was rushing over.

He has a delicate appearance and a bit of handsomeness. He is tall but quite thin and looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The only thing that's not quite right is that his skin color is a little dull, perhaps due to years of doing business.

He wears wide clothes and broad belt, a scholar's uniform, and a robe made of expensive materials. The workmanship of his whole body is quite exquisite.

This shows the wealth of the Zhen family.

While Cao Ang was looking at him, Zhen Yao stepped into the study. Without saying a word, he bowed down to Cao Ang and bowed his hands in a big salute.

"Zhen Yao, the son of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, comes to see the general!"

The respectful voice woke Cao Ang up.

After reacting, he moved his feet forward, stood a few steps away from Zhen Yao, and bowed his hand to Zhen Yao in a slightly reserved manner.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to Zhen Yao.

"Wende, please sit down and talk!"



To be honest, Zhen Yao was quite surprised to see such a big shot as Cao Ang.

The most important secret for a successful businessman is to be well-informed, so before visiting Cao Ren, he had already explored all kinds of relationships.

Knowing that Cao Ang is the legitimate son of Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, he is also the prefect of Dongjun, and he is the real talker behind Cao Ren and others.

His original plan was just to get in touch with Cao Ren, the current governor of Wei County, and take advantage of the fact that Cao Ren was not familiar with the affairs of the county and it was a good opportunity for power change.

Thus, I got a piece of permission from Cao Ren.

As long as things work out.

The Zhen family can have the status of an official and merchant and have unimpeded access to the entire county.

Not only can it ensure that the business is safe and big, it can even provide some help for the career of his brother Zhen Yan from the side.

But the extent to which things are going smoothly now is somewhat beyond his imagination.

He reached the sky in one step and directly met the person behind Grand Administrator Cao Ren.

This way.

Zhen Yao's calculations in his mind have slightly changed. Who should he talk to? Since he can meet a figure of General Cao Ang's level, why not increase his appetite?

Opportunities are hard-won and fleeting!

While Zhen Yao was thinking, Cao Ang's faint questioning voice came to his ears.



"Wende, although Wei County is small, it is still a county. It has fifteen counties, cities and cities under its jurisdiction, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the county."

"If you want to become an official and businessman of Wei County, you just want to use the name of the county government to unimpede the business routes in the county, and at the same time open up the business relationships with other counties under the county's jurisdiction."

"It is absolutely impossible to get such a huge benefit without paying the corresponding price. I wonder how you plan to persuade me to agree to this?"

Cao Ang asked lightly while pushing a bowl of tea soup in front of Zhen Yao.

His face was full of business attitude.

He had the attitude that if the price offered by Zhen Yao was not to his liking, he would throw away the person. Such an appearance made Zhen Yao dare not neglect him.

After brewing some words in my mind.

Zhen Yao cautiously said to Cao Ang: "As the general said, being an official and businessman of a county will be of great benefit to the Zhen family. I naturally come here with sincerity."

"First of all, I can promise that in the future, the price of the materials purchased by the county government through our Zhen family caravan will be more than 30% lower than the market price."

"Whether it's bulk goods or small sales, even if it's a loss-making transaction, this 30% discount rule is in no way inconsistent with it!"

Cao Ang paused slightly when he heard this.

This Zhen Yao is indeed a person with a bright mind, although the slogan of 30% discount regardless of loss or not sounds a bit impassioned.

But in fact, the Zhen family did not suffer at all.

After all, the county government has designated the Zhen family as the purchaser, so don’t the counties under its jurisdiction understand the principle of what follows the example?

There are no discount regulations with the counties.

Put some money on top, add a zero at the bottom, and come out as soon as you turn around.



And this is only the first condition.

Want to win the status of the number one official businessman.

These alone may not be enough.

Therefore, Zhen Yao felt relieved after seeing the positive feedback given by Cao Ang.

He continued to say: "In addition, the Zhen family is willing to donate a large amount of wealth to you, General, every year. The specific amount will depend on the profit of the year, but you will definitely be satisfied!"

In addition to the obvious public-to-public discounts, there are also gains from private pockets.

And it’s still a share-based income.

This business is absolutely smooth.

It's just that Cao Ang, who has always regarded his territory as his own private territory, doesn't particularly need this kind of filling of his private treasury.

As long as there is a sum of money in the account, no matter how you think about it, it will be a profitable business.

Of course, there's more to it than that.

After this statement.

Zhen Yao leaned forward slightly, looked towards Cao Ang, then lowered his voice and whispered.

"In addition to the above, I can also think of ways to get some hard-to-get good things for you, General. As long as I can find something and the demand is not large, I can try it."

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang finally showed a smile on his face.

He heard the answer he wanted.

Being able to talk about discounted purchases and profit sharing can only prove that Zhen Yao is a relatively outstanding and intelligent businessman.

But I can tell you about smuggled contraband.

Then this guy's level has risen instantly.

It was precisely because of his last words that Cao Ang decided to make a bigger deal with the Zhen family.



"Wende is indeed sincere. With the above three points, he is enough to become an official and businessman of Wei County."

"I just wonder if you have ever thought about taking a bigger step?"

Cao Ang's seductive tone.

Zhen Yao's heart couldn't help but jump.

He asked a little tentatively: "I wonder, General, what do you mean when you say take a bigger step?"

Cao Ang picked up the tea soup and took a slow sip. His posture could be said to be extremely refined.

Then, with Cao Ang's anxious eyes, he said lightly.

"Although the officials and businessmen in this county are enjoying a prosperous life, the structure is a bit too small after all. How can they use their methods in this small pond?"

"If it were to become an official and businessman in Yanzhou, I wonder if Wende would have the guts to give it a try?"

The words just fell.

Zhen Yao's heart suddenly trembled.

His eyes widened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a large look of shock appeared on his face.

He was obviously stunned by Cao Ang's words.

Officials and merchants from a single state!

What a grand gesture.

What can be expected is that as long as you can catch this line and become a big businessman in a state as described by Cao Ang.

The wealth of the Zhen family will be inexhaustible. Even if the official career has declined, the gold mountain and copper sea contained in the family can still be passed down from generation to generation.



The temptation is too great.

It was so big that Zhen Yao couldn't believe it.

When he was summoned by Cao Ang earlier, he made up his mind to increase his appetite.

But what he thought at that time was just to open up the business in Dongjun and allow the Zhen family's caravan to pass through the two counties and travel between Jizhou and Yanzhou.

But who would have thought.

Cao Ang's appetite was actually ten times greater than his!

It was pushed to the state level in one stroke.

He is truly worthy of being a famous young talent in this world, and his ambition is really worth it.

He sat in silence for a long time.

Zhen Yao's mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

After a long while.

Zhen Yao suddenly stood up with a "swish" sound.

Then he bowed to Cao Ang again and said to Cao Ang with excitement.

"Thanks to the general's trust, if you are really willing, let the Zhen family do business under the government of Yanzhou as officials and merchants of Yanzhou."

"Then I can guarantee that the price paid by the Zhen family will definitely satisfy you, and it will definitely be worthy of the status of an official businessman in Yanzhou!"

Zhen Yao became even more excited.

Cao Ang became more and more calm and composed.

Facing the future second uncle's statement, Cao Ang just raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Zhen Yao to sit back in his seat.

Then he said with a smile.

"I'm not busy now. Before that, I have to confirm one thing, that is, whether your Zhen family has the ability to become an official businessman in a state."

"Don't have a huge appetite, only to find out afterwards that you have too little to live up to. It's just a name but no substance. That's hard to avoid!"



I heard Cao Ang questioning his own strength.

Zhen Yao immediately straightened his back, raised his head, and slapped his chest with his right hand loudly.

He said in a clear voice: "General, you can rest assured, you don't have to worry about it at all!"

"Although our Zhen family has declined officially, some of the favors left over from generations in the past can still benefit future generations."

"With these inheritance from our ancestors, our Zhen family has been quite successful in business, and we have a huge caravan, retainers and helpers under our banner."

"In the past, the reason why we only traveled within Jizhou was because the people in other states and counties were unfamiliar and it was easy to suffer losses if we took rash measures. But if there is the endorsement of the Yanzhou government, then all the above are nothing to worry about!"

Speaking of which.

Zhen Yao made a fist with his right hand and swung it down suddenly.

Then he said in a decisive tone: "As long as I have the documents from the state capital in hand, I can ensure that the business roads can be spread throughout Yanzhou in a very short period of time!"

It's a tender.

At this stage, you have to shout slogans loudly, regardless of whether you have the strength or not.

In short, confidence and attitude must be shown to Party A first, otherwise why should they trust you?



And following Zhen Yao's statement.

Cao Ang nodded slightly and tapped the table a few times with his fingers.

Pretend to be thoughtful.

After a while.

Only then did he slowly speak under Zhen Yao's gaze that was full of expectation and slightly uneasy.

"In that case, let's talk about the sincerity of your Zhen family, Wende. Is there anything that you can offer that others cannot easily replace?"

I heard Cao Ang’s inquiry.

Zhen Yao was really excited.

When things have progressed to this stage, it often means that success is not far away.

Next, he only needs to come up with a price that satisfies Cao Ang, and then he is done.

"Plop...plop!"

Feeling the crazy beating of the heart in his chest, Zhen Yao felt the blood surge all over his body.

There is a feeling of numbness in the scalp, and the feeling of qi and blood rushing to the Tianling Cap, forcing the excitement in the heart to be suppressed.

Zhen Yao licked his dry lips, swallowed hard, and then slowly spoke.

"The 30% discount mentioned earlier and the allocation of funds to you every year remain unchanged."

"In addition to the above, our Zhen family can also provide you with two additional things."

While talking.

Zhen Yao compared two fingers.

"One is a war horse, the other is iron!"



My second uncle is indeed quite wise.

It can be called a typical example of getting it done with just one click.

Cao Ang didn't even need to speak clearly, he had already listed the two most attractive products produced in Jizhou at the moment.

And as his words fell.

Cao Ang laughed even more, and couldn't help but clapped his hands several times, looking cheerful.

"Wende is really a wonderful person!"

Jizhou has a vast territory and rich resources, and produces many things, among which Jizhou has some, but Yanzhou is extremely lacking.

One is the war horses that are abundant in the northern racecourses, and the other is the iron ore that is produced in large quantities in Jizhou.

Although Yanzhou has now opened several channels to obtain these two supplies, compared with the huge consumption, they are still not enough after all.

And if we can use the channels of the Zhen family, with the help of this century-old prominent family in Jizhou, we can make use of the huge network of contacts left by the ancestors of the Zhen family.

Crazy smuggling of war horses and iron ore to the Cao family is definitely another reliable and large-volume channel.

The shortcomings of the Cao family can be made up for in an instant.

The Zhen family uses such conditions as the price for entering the game, which is basically enough.

Moreover, Cao Ang's own intention was to tie the Zhen family to his chariot, and now it has such a big benefit.

Wouldn’t it be a hundred benefits and no disadvantages?



Zhen Yao saw Cao Ang stroking his hands and laughing.

My heart couldn't help but feel relieved.

He knew that this matter was basically settled.

However, out of caution, Zhen Yao still added with a smile: "Nowadays, various forces in Jizhou are mixed together, and the melee warfare will not decrease. The demand for war horses and iron is quite large."

"Therefore, I can only say that I will do my best to sell these two items for the general. As for the exact amount, I apologize that I cannot guarantee it."

Cao Ang nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning, then waved his hand and said with a placating look on his face.

"I think this is it. The extra money you hand over to me every year can be directly exchanged for war horses and iron, and there is no need to go through any trouble."

"And when it comes to the sale of war horses and iron, you don't have to follow the 30% discount rule. You just sell it to me at the market price. I'll take as much as I want!"

"Is that good?"

When Zhen Yao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he became very energetic.

He had actually been a little worried before.

That is to cooperate with an official figure like Cao Ang. If you are not careful, you can easily become the target of embezzlement. If not, you will end up with all your skin, bones and dregs being eaten clean.

Even the smuggling and selling of war horses and iron ore can easily become blood-sucking projects.

But now that Cao Ang is willing to make such a concession, he really has nothing to worry about. He doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt because of being sucked.

General Cao is really a loyal man!



After saying hello repeatedly.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation was almost over, Cao Ang suddenly put away the smile on his face and turned it into a serious face.

Then he stared at Zhen Yao with piercing eyes.

He slowed down his speaking speed, but said in a calm and powerful tone: "Although the so-called government and business affairs of a state have not yet been written down, there are some things I want to say up front. I hope Wende can keep them in mind and obey them!"

Zhen Yao's heart trembled.

Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He quickly responded with a serious face, raised his hands and listened respectfully: "General, please give me your instructions!"

Cao Ang made a gesture on the table casually.

Then he heard what he said: "First of all, the land of a state is too huge. Even if there is a written order from the state capital, your Zhen family's caravan will never be able to eat alone in every county."

"There will always be some local clan forces engaged in business in each county. The state government's permission can only give you an advantage, but it is absolutely impossible to expel all your competitors."

Naturally, private businessmen cannot be stopped, and there is no need to compete with small merchants for profits.

But in the area of ​​government and business.

The magnitude of counties is completely different from that of states. The former can barely achieve a monopoly, while the latter is basically a no-brainer.

Local protectionism is no joke.

With the help of documents from the state capital, if you become a powerful dragon and snatch meat from a bowl, everyone will hold your nose and admit it.

But if you want to steal the meat from other people's hands into your own bowl, you really have to turn the table over.

Therefore, Cao Ang must be vaccinated in advance.

Let Zhen Yao have an idea.



After Zhen Yao heard about this incident.

Without saying a word, he nodded one after another without hesitation, and spoke repeatedly.

"General, don't worry, I understand that I will never cause trouble in Yanzhou!"

Doing business with smart people is fun.

After making this request, Cao Ang did not stop and continued to speak to Zhen Yao.

"Besides, Quliang County, where your Zhen family is currently located, is a bit too far away after all."

"I can still handle the affairs of Wei County with ease, but after all, Yanzhou is south of Jizhou. The distance is too far, so it is inevitable that we will be trapped in a situation where we are left to the right."

"So I hope that you can move some of the Zhen family members to Dongjun!"

After saying that.

Cao Ang smiled again.

Staring at Zhen Yao meaningfully.

Under such gaze, cold sweat broke out on Zhen Yao's forehead involuntarily.

These words seemed to be for the sake of the Zhen family.

In fact, it has all the edge hidden in it, and there is a faint sense of sharpness.

General Cao's intention was for him to use some of the important figures of the Zhen family as hostages and send them to Puyang County, East County, as a guarantee of cooperation between the two parties.

One can imagine.

If this condition is not agreed, then his family will definitely not be able to gain Cao Ang's trust.

Today's huge deal will completely fall through and will no longer be possible.

But if you use family members as hostages.

Currently, the only male members of his family are him and his elder brother. While his elder brother Zhen Yan is the magistrate of Quliang County, he himself has to manage the family business.

That can be used as a hostage.

Aren't there only a few of his sisters left?



It's about your own biological siblings.

Zhen Yao did not dare to judge easily.

I could only say to Cao Ang in a difficult tone: "I understand what the general means."

"Personally, I definitely agree with this. After all, East County has a pleasant climate and extraordinary scenery, and it is even more stable and peaceful under your governance, general. My sisters, I think they will like it there."

"It's just that this is about my family after all. I must leave for Quliang, discuss it with my brother, and get his approval."

“This is how we can make it happen!”

This makes sense.

It was impossible for Cao Ang to force others to express their stance on the spot.

Anyway, you can’t eat hot tofu if you are impatient, and you don’t have to be impatient about many things, as long as you set the tone.

Therefore, Cao Ang nodded happily and said: "For your Zhen family's caravan to enter Yanzhou, it also requires a lot of preparations. There is no rush on this matter. You can discuss it slowly."

"I just hope that the result of the discussion will be an answer that satisfies both you and me!"

Zhen Yao only promised, and even claimed that he was right.



After discussing many details and formulating a simple charter.

Zhen Yao then resigned to Cao Ang.

He had to leave Yecheng quickly and rush to Quliang in the shortest possible time to discuss it with his brother.

But there is one thing to be thankful for, that is, after the Zhongshan Kingdom was ravaged by the Black Mountain bandits, the Zhen family has moved most of their wealth to Quliang County along with Zhen Yan's promotion path.

Once an agreement is reached.

Taking people as hostages is not a very difficult move to implement.

And after Zhen Yao left.

Cao Ang looked at his retreating back.

The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly, revealing a few sharp white teeth and a sunny and cheerful smile.

Today's exchange with Zhen Yao was an unexpected surprise.

Not only did he pull the entire Zhen family onto his chariot and conduct a deep binding, he further bound Zhen Mi and even the five sisters of the Zhen family.

The rest even obtained a lot of benefits from it, and through the hands of the Zhen family, Yanzhou's commercial and trade undertakings were integrated.

As the rulers of Yanzhou, my father Cao Cao and myself were able to make a lot of profits naturally.

And there is also the smuggling and selling of war horses and iron ore that Zhen Yao promised.

This is another bloody business.

Kill two birds with one stone, a win-win situation!
