Even in dealing with the issue of Yizhou, some really important figures in Floating Water House also used various means to come here, and Chen Pingping, one of Mao Xiang's right-hand men, was the most important figure among them.
Moreover, he is also the real spy leader of the floating house in Yizhou.
Chen Pingping is one of the characters Li Xiang got from the film and television summoning card. He was implanted into the floating water house when he was implanted. He is also Mao Xiang's right-hand man and is definitely a top figure in the floating water house. , not to mention that his abilities are sufficiently guaranteed.
For him to be responsible for Yizhou affairs will definitely make the best use of his talents, and it is difficult to find a more suitable person than him.
More than a year ago, Chen Pingping entered Yizhou disguised as a horse dealer. Although northern princes such as Li Xiang and Qin Zheng are using various means to prevent war horses from flowing into the Central Plains or the south. However, even if this kind of thing is stopped, how can it be completely stopped!
If this kind of thing can really be completely prevented, it would be too underestimated as a class of businessmen. Businessmen value profits. If there are really enough benefits in front of them, they may dare to do anything!
For example, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the government promulgated the "Jinguan Order" and "Guanshi Law" to restrict Han-Hungarian trade. The interests of border merchants were harmed, and they began to collude with local forces and engage in border smuggling.
When their illegal behavior was investigated by the court, they began to defect from the Huns. The defection of King Zang Tu of Yan and the rebellions of King Xin and Chen Xi of Han all occurred in this context.
Liu Bang promulgated the "Merchant Law" to punish the rebellious merchant forces, and pardoned the people of Zhao who participated in the rebellion, adjusted the administrative system of Zhao, and implemented the policy of peace and marriage. The commercial interests of border merchants were protected. The reasons for the rebellion of Zhao's merchants They were eliminated immediately, and there were no more rebellions in Zhao since then.
It is absolutely impossible to absolutely suppress commercial activities by coercive means, otherwise, it may bring more serious consequences. Suppression is possible, but there must be a slight gap.
Therefore, there are still horse traders traveling between the north and the rest of the Han Dynasty. However, compared to before, the number of war horses in the hands of these horse dealers was much smaller, and the price of horses was also rising sharply compared to before.
Of course, although the price of horses has increased, since there is supply, there will naturally be demand. Princes such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che are definitely capable of eating such small batches of war horses. In fact, maybe others will think it’s not enough!
Chen Pingping's caravan only carried one hundred and eighty war horses each time it entered Yizhou. In the past, this was not considered a large scale, but now, it is quite good to have this number. .
Since floating houses are constantly operating in Yizhou, Yizhou is still quite strict in detecting outsiders. However, these northern giants are also rare resources among rare resources in Yizhou.
However, relying on her identity as a horse dealer, Chen Pingping finally entered Yizhou smoothly. Moreover, Chen Pingping is obviously a patient enough hunter. He is not in a hurry to start work. Instead, for more than a year, he has been doing the work that an ordinary merchant should do just like an ordinary merchant.
As for the Yizhou Floating House, he simply handed over the temporary leadership to a few right-hand assistants, just to hide his existence with all his strength and prevent him from revealing his flaws.
Shipping horses from the north to Yizhou can be exchanged for a huge profit, and using this huge profit to trade on the southern barbarian side will be an even bigger huge profit.
Therefore, although due to transportation problems, she could not make several round trips in more than a year, Chen Pingping still made a lot of money, and she began to build her own network of relationships inadvertently!
After all, if a business wants to grow from small to big, it is impossible without contact with the officials above!
In ancient society, political power was the main means of resource distribution. If businessmen wanted to make a profit, they had to rely on power. This made the accumulation process of wealth wander on the edge of illegality and crime, and the accumulation process of capital was full of original sin.
On the other hand, the seizure of huge amounts of wealth in ancient times generally came from the monopoly position formed by political authorization. In the eyes of rulers, wealth originally belonged to the country, and businessmen were only the custodians of wealth and not the ultimate actual owners.
Therefore, businessmen have been somewhat flattering and even flattering in the face of public power since ancient times. In the process of development, it is impossible for businessmen not to come into contact with officials from various places. And during this contact process, Chen Pingping began to take the opportunity to build her own network of relationships.
Coupled with several transactions between Sanfan and Nanman, and large-scale transactions like Chen Pingping's, he began to get acquainted with his target Nanman.
In more than a year, Chen Pingping finally laid a foundation for her future.
As for Chen Pingping using war horses to let him open a road in Yizhou, this is not a big problem. After all, given the traffic conditions in Yizhou, in fact, Chen Pingping's caravan only made a few round trips in more than a year, and only transported a few hundred war horses to Yizhou. And just relying on those hundreds of horses could not change Liu Che's disadvantage in the direction of cavalry.
Besides, these hundreds of war horses were not given to them for free. The harvest of real money and silver was definitely indispensable, although neither Li Xiang nor Floating Water Fang looked down upon the harvest of real money.
However, at least the dedication of these hundreds of war horses can help Chen Pingping achieve his goal, which is enough.
Over the past year or so, as Chen Pingping continued to understand the situation in Nanman, he already had some clues about the breakthrough point he wanted to find.
However, in the short term, it is okay to use his current superficial identity to have limited superficial business contacts with the other party, but it is not the time for him to really take action.
Nanman was bullied quite miserably by Liu Che, and he continued to bully him with this kind of soft knife. At this time, even if they took action, I am afraid that the few targets he selected would never stand with him, and maybe they would Use his head as a tool to invite favors from Liu Che.
Only when Liu Che starts to weaken, maybe these people will have the courage to have other ideas. That's when Chen Pingping really starts to take action. And it was only then that he could have certain effects after he took action.
As for before, it is enough to become familiar with these people.
However, with the remaining strength of the Southern Barbarians, it actually puts Chen Pingping in a difficult position. Liu Che kept bleeding the Southern Barbarians, but the bottom Nanbarians were still grateful to Liu Che. This method is really powerful!
