The North Border also encountered the famine and food shortage in various states, so it relied on selling food to survive the most critical moment, but in the long run, this is definitely not feasible.

"Fan Li, what do you think?"

Long Tian has no good solution for the time being.

"Your Majesty, if you want to get money, the best way is to collect taxes and trade."

"We can't target the people to collect taxes, so we can only target the various families, but this will also have an impact on the stability of the North Border, so it is more effective to trade."

"The North Border is located on the border. Liang State and the Barbarians have some urgently needed supplies. My Xia State can provide them, but I have not expanded this business."

"I think we can trade with Liang State and the Barbarians, exchange what we have and what we don't have, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

As for making money, it is definitely the fastest to rob, but it will not last long. In the long run, it is better to establish a stable business system.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Long Tian knew that Fan Li must have his own ideas.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians are short of food and daily necessities. These materials can be provided by my northern border and even Xia country."

"As for Liang country, there are also many demands for high-end products, such as ceramics, etc."

"As long as there is a famous chamber of commerce willing to do this, it should not be difficult. For the circulation of commerce, countries will not restrict it. At most, it will be heavy taxes, but there are also great benefits."

Fan Li plans to expand business and solve the difficulties in the northern border.

"Tell me, which one do you like?" Long Tian asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, I think whether it is fame, strength, or reputation, Juyuan Chamber of Commerce is the best choice, and with your relationship with Juyuan Chamber of Commerce, this matter will not be difficult to facilitate."

After a long time of fussing, Fan Li's plan is here.

Juyuan Chamber of Commerce, the first chamber of commerce in Xia country, not only has business throughout Xia country, but also has many business dealings with several neighboring countries.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country, but it is by no means an exaggeration to call it rich in one area.

The Qian family is the boss of the Juyuan Chamber of Commerce. This is a pure business family that is not involved in military and political affairs, but has strong backers in various countries and has established a stable community of interests.

The Qian family uses money to open the way and is popular in various countries. It is also very strong. Money can make the devil push the mill, which is also applicable in this world. There are countless masters working under its command.

Qian Duoduo, the head of the Qian family, is a man of extraordinary means and shrewd. He is the number one figure in the entire Xia country. All the princes and even the royal family are unwilling to easily make enemies with him.

If Qian Duoduo is willing, he can easily destroy the economy of a state without considering the losses.

The reason why Fan Li said that Long Tian had a relationship with the Juyuan Chamber of Commerce was naturally because of Long Dao.

Qian Mingxue, the youngest daughter of Qian Duoduo, the head of the Qian family, is engaged to Long Tian.

The process of concluding this engagement is very shameful.

Long Dao fell in love with the youngest daughter of the Qian family and came to propose marriage in person, but was rejected by Qian Duoduo without hesitation.

Although Long Tian was still young at that time, his reputation as a useless person who couldn't practice martial arts had spread. How could the Qian family agree with him?

Moreover, the Qian family knew what Long Dao had done. In order to pave the way for their son, this guy forced marriage everywhere and had already arranged several marriages. The Qian family was certainly unwilling to accept this.

However, the Qian family didn't expect that Long Dao, who was rejected, would actually act like a rogue and play shameless tricks.

The Qian family's caravan was robbed every now and then. Not only the caravan, but also the chambers of commerce established in various places were constantly harassed, and their business was affected.

The Qian family was of course not happy, but they didn't want to compromise, so they confronted Long Dao.

Not only did the Qian family's masters go out to hunt down Long Dao everywhere, but they even wanted to send people to the northern border to kill Long Tian.

This really angered Long Dao.

100,000 Zhenbei troops from the northern border gathered urgently. Except for the necessary garrison troops at the border, the rest of the Zhenbei troops were transferred to the Qingzhou border by Long Dao, and he announced that he would deal with the Qian family.

At that time, the northern border and Long Dao were in their heyday, and Long Dao was even more unscrupulous, and the old emperor was also helpless.

If Long Dao sent troops through several states and really hit the core area of ​​the Qian family, it would be difficult to end this matter.

So the old emperor came forward to mediate and personally invited Qian Duoduo to the palace. Then an imperial edict of marriage was issued, and the matter was considered settled.

The emperor personally mediated and granted marriage, which was also a great honor for the Qian family, and the Qian family could only recognize this matter.

However, this matter was tortuous after all. For so many years, there was only open communication between the two sides, but no actual contact.

The Qian family did not use the influence of the northern border to expand their business, and Long Dao did not use the Qian family's chamber of commerce to make money.

"The Qian family is not so easy to talk to. I have no contact with them. Will this work?"

Long Tian was worried.

"Your Majesty, if it was in the past, this matter would have been difficult to resolve."But now it's different. You are the legitimate king, controlling the lands of Beizhou and Zongzhou, and are the best among the princes." "The Qian family is just a business family after all. How to confront the kings and princes? The Qian family may have felt wronged in the previous marriage contract, but now it's different, especially the situation in Xia country, the Qian family must also know it. " "In troubled times, it is fundamental to make a living, especially for businessmen, who are the favorites of all forces. What the Qian family needs most at this moment is a backer, a backer that can make the Qian family stand firm." "Before, your marriage contract with the Qian family was dispensable. Now, this marriage contract is the foundation for the Qian family to advance and retreat with moderation and make a living." "As long as we express goodwill and approve the marriage contract, the Qian family will never refuse, and will even take the initiative to help us. "

Xun Yu took over the conversation and explained patiently.

What is most important in troubled times? It is not money, but power, especially military power.

No matter how rich the Qian family is, they cannot recruit soldiers openly, and their control is limited. Once they offend a big force, they may be slaughtered as a fat sheep.

But if there is a fearful force that has an inseparable relationship with it, such as marriage, then if others want to move the Qian family, they must think carefully about whether they can withstand retaliation.

Although Long Tian does not like this kind of marriage without emotion, he does not object. This is the world, and Long Tian is no exception.

Besides, while enjoying the beauty, it can also bring a lot of benefits, so what's wrong with it.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to you. If you need me to do anything, I can come forward. "

It would be a waste if we don't use the existing No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in Xia Country. Instead of developing slowly, it is better to use the existing one directly, which can save countless time and trouble.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will contact Juyuan Chamber of Commerce immediately to see their reaction. If possible, I will invite Master Qian and Miss Qian to come to the Northern Territory."

It will be no problem to leave this matter to Fan Li.
