Zhen Yi stood up and saluted Liu He before speaking.

"Zhen entered Bingzhou this time to discuss business dealings with many big families. Now those families have committed death crimes and were destroyed by Lord Liu. It is God's will. It is to guide my Zhen family to cooperate with Lord Liu from now on. Since it is cooperation, my Zhen family should offer some sincerity."

After saying that, he stretched out a finger.

"I am willing to offer food and fodder each hundred thousand stones as a deposit for future cooperation with adults."

"Okay! Brother Bo'an is really refreshing!"

Zhang Ding cheered.

Guan Yu and others were also full of joy, and the more they looked at Zhen Yi, the more they looked at him.

Cui Jun looked at Liu He and saw that he didn't seem to be as happy as everyone else, he couldn't help asking: "Lord, do you have any other ideas?"

Zhen Yi was a little anxious: "Does Lord Liu think it's not enough sincerity?"

Liu He hurriedly explained: "No, sir, don't misunderstand. Isn't it true that Liu can generously donate money and provide timely help in times of crisis? But Mr. also said that both parties are cooperative, so I was thinking about how to use this cooperative relationship to make both of you and me profit in the future. Isn't this much better than a simple donation?"

Zhen Yi was overjoyed. Isn’t what Liu He said the result he really wanted? He originally wanted to get together Liu He first, get in touch with him more, and then formally negotiate business. Unexpectedly, Liu He was so cheerful, which really surprised him.

"I wonder how Lord Liu thought he would cooperate?"

Liu He paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about this matter.

"Liu is not good at doing business, and he said some vulgar views to make you laugh. I was thinking, if you still do business the same as before, and then change hands to trade with me, then, the incident of Zhang and Su's family being assassinated and hunted last night will happen sooner or later. Moreover, such a transaction will be more troublesome and more risky."

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

"Why don't you know how Lord Liu thinks it should carry out this transaction?"

Liu He said: "Liu is thinking that the three of you, together with Liu, will jointly invest to set up a business bank and use this business to conduct various transactions such as horses, livestock, cloth, silk, ceramics, grain and grass. The benefits obtained will be distributed by us and the four companies according to the investment ratio. However, the daily operations of the business are not personally involved."

Su Shuang couldn't help but shout, "It's amazing! In this way, even if those people use the same trick again, capture or even kill us, it will not affect the operation of the business itself. Even if the people from both of us die, it will be useless. In this way, we will be safer."

"Yes, as long as it is profitable, we can absorb some powerful families in other places that are reliable. As long as there are more people participating in the distribution of interests, our own strength is strong enough. Hehe, even if the court wants to touch us, it will be not that easy."

Zhang Ding touched his chin and said with a grin.

Zhen Yi slapped the table: "Okay, Lord Liu's plan is very good, so I will do it like this! It's just that we need to study the details of the establishment of a commercial bank."

"It's better to choose a date than a day. Today I will finalize this matter and prepare it as soon as possible."

Everyone in the tent, either a business tycoon, a master of strategy, or a general who commanded the army, discussed it from the morning until the afternoon. After a few hours, they finally decided on this major event.

The four parties invested 10 million yuan to establish an "Anhan Trading Company" in Yinguan City, and the defending army was responsible for maintaining public order in the city. At the same time, the commerce bank hired a group of special guards, and then Zhang, Su and Zhen families sent reliable subordinates to jointly be responsible for the operation of the commerce bank.

People from the three major families and Liu He and others are not allowed to directly interfere in the affairs of the merchant bank on weekdays. They can only decide the overall policy and direction of the merchant bank. The specific affairs are fully responsible for a group of managers selected by the four parties.

However, this chamber of commerce is different from the three families of Zhang Suzhen. The three families usually go around, selling specialties from the south to the north, coastal specialties from the mainland to the Hu people, and using specialties from the Central Plains to earn huge price differences. However, the journey is very hard and it is easy to encounter thieves and government exploitation.

The business bank is fixedly located in Yinguan City, or in the future, and all goods must be transported to the city by caravans of all sizes and sizes. They can trade with other caravans within the business bank, or they can register with the business bank and rent stores in the city for sale.

Of course, you can also do business in the city without registering the business. However, the business will use the resources of each caravan to integrate, which is naturally very beneficial in terms of sales and security, especially for some commodities or high-value goods transactions, which is particularly important.

This idea was proposed by Liu He. At the beginning, people from the three families, including Cui Jun and others, had some doubts about this fixed location model. After all, in their eyes, if the business is to grow, it will definitely run around, but Liu He insisted on his own opinion.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that it won't take long for our business to cause a sensation in the northern states, and Yinguan City will become a holy city that many caravans and commercial families are rushing to!"

Seeing that he was so confident, everyone did not continue to object. Anyway, if this road doesn't work, it would be better to change it.

The reason why Liu He dared to be so confident was that he was the stability and relative prosperity of many cities under his rule. In the world of the Han Dynasty, wars are everywhere and bandits are rampant. If outsiders do not have enough strength to protect themselves, the risk is extremely great.

People who do business hope to avoid risks as much as possible. If there is such a place, as long as you come here, you can complete various transactions. This place is very safe and stable. Which businessman would not like it?

Although goods still have to be transported from other places, it is better to follow this route every year than running around. Moreover, as long as you enter Taiyuan County and Yanmen County, safety will be guaranteed. Not to mention anything else, businessmen within these two counties and surrounding neighboring areas will definitely be very enthusiastic about this.

What's more, Liu He also has a secret weapon in his hand.

Since the imperial edict clearly stated that all affairs in the six counties were decided by Liu He, he decided to implement the "Salt and Iron Wine Specialty" under his rule. All salt must obtain a salt-making and salt sales license from this business. Restaurants and hotels must also obtain a brewing license from the business. Iron mining ore and then sell it to all large and small blacksmith shops. It also needs to obtain a corresponding license.

At the same time, all minerals in the country are owned by themselves. If anyone wants to mine locally, in addition to a license, the mine itself must also purchase it from itself.

This practice is not uncommon among all dynasties. Not to mention the Han Dynasty, even in the Northern Song Dynasty, winemaking rights had to be purchased from the government to make wine in their own restaurants. Other restaurants could only find these restaurants to buy wine at high prices to sell.

As for salt and iron, it is more related to national stability and security. The main Hu tribes in the north have repeatedly moved south because on the one hand, it is for food, and on the other hand, it is for salt and pig iron. Because these two things are difficult to obtain from normal trade, it is just that the laws and regulations in the end of the Han Dynasty are relaxed and the management is chaotic, which has given some merchant families and aristocratic families who are also doing business secretly to make huge profits.

Nowadays, iron ore, salt well, and grain are mostly controlled by major families. Blacksmith shops, hotels, and ordinary people can only buy them, which has made them huge profits, but the people are suffering.

Although Liu He did not know how to make pig iron, salt and wine himself, he would ask the business bank to select a group of blacksmith shops, salt merchants, restaurants, etc. that could obtain the earliest license, and then let them produce their own iron tools, salt and wine, circulate them in the market, or place them for trading in the business bank.

Then the buyer and the public choose which one’s things are better. In the end, it is proven that they have no strength and technology and are just wasting licenses in vain, or take the opportunity to disrupt the market, and the license will be taken back by the commercial bank and may even be punished by the government.

With the implementation of such a powerful monopoly system, and the number of counties under Liu He's rule is quite large, the people are relatively rich compared to many other prefectures and counties. The profits that can be generated can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. In the initial period of time, the business was able to rely on this set of things to support it, at least Liu He himself thought so.

Just over a dozen days later, in Yinguan City, a huge building was newly decorated and "Anhan Trading Company" was officially established.

The people in the city were also busy and gathered at the door to see what they were selling in this business.

But to their disappointment, the business was empty but nothing.
