Such things can be said to be common in Jiangdong. In their eyes, the people are the lowest-level existence. It is normal for them to get things from the people.

It is not ruled out that there are merchants who support Jiangdong in Jin State, who secretly purchase rice and grain for Jiangdong and provide assistance to the development of Jiangdong.

Since the two sides are going to go to war, merchants must also play a certain role. Jin State has gradually become stronger. It is not a country that still needs to obtain benefits through merchants to support the army's war after going to war with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. In this way, controlling business with Jiangdong will play an unexpected role.

Secretly raising the price of items, as long as the Jin State has complete control of Jin wine and other items, the prices in Jiangdong can rise. Besides, the aristocratic families will not give up such an opportunity, especially when the war comes, let alone other items, even the price of rice and grain will definitely soar. These aristocratic families will do whatever they want for their own interests.

There were many such things happening in Jin State at the beginning, but in the face of Lu Bu's iron-blooded methods, these merchants gradually changed their past habits. If the same thing happened to Jiangdong, would Jiangdong's merchants stop so easily?

During the war, it was also the beginning of the aristocratic families and merchants who obtained benefits. They were able to take the opportunity to grow the family even more, which was the beginning of enhancing the family's influence.

What Mi Zhu needs to do is to secretly inform all chambers of commerce of this matter. After all, the current relationship between Jin and Wu is still friendly on the surface. If the order is issued openly, there will be many problems. Since Lu Bu has such a thought, he will definitely prepare in advance.

It seems simple but it is not the case for the merchants in Jiangdong. They also need the cooperation of soldiers in the army. If they can completely control the path from Jin State to Jiangdong, even if some merchants are willing to go to Jiangdong to do business, it will be difficult to achieve it. After the merchants in Jiangdong are going to Jin State, they will not want to leave so easily.

At that time, Lu Bu planned this way, using the power of merchants to curb the development of the entire Jiangdong. Not only that, he could also rectify the caravans. As the territory gradually increased, the number of chambers of commerce was also increasing. If he could not control the power of these chambers of commerce, over time, there would definitely be problems that Lu Bu would not want to see. If the power of merchants was used properly, it would definitely have a huge influence.

It is very necessary to use merchants to curb Jiangdong and make people panic before the war comes. However, the price of Jiangdong will definitely cause panic among the people in the process of increasing the prices. The sale of war horses will allow Jin State to obtain a large amount of rice and grain from Jiangdong.

Jiangdong is rich and famous all over the world. However, the current Wu State has a small territory and also provides rice and grain for 100,000 soldiers. In this case, it is not easy to develop the army. It is already good to be able to maintain it. Why did Sun Quan attack the aristocratic family before? It was because the existence of the aristocratic family had greatly affected Sun Quan's rule in Jiangdong. If this situation could not be changed, Sun Quan's status would be unstable.

Sometimes when aristocratic families see benefits, they will not have so many concerns. What they need is to get more benefits for the family. As for what kind of trouble their behavior will bring to the monarch, it is not a problem they need to consider.

Different places are in, and there are definitely many differences in the way of considering problems. The powerful family needs to be maintained by people from the aristocratic family. It is precisely because of their way of survival that the family where they are located can control more things, which is of great significance to a family.

During the development of aristocratic families, they will also hide the true strength of the family as much as possible, not only to guard against other aristocratic families, but also to guard against the monarch. No one is sure whether the monarch will choose to attack this aristocratic family after realizing that the strength of aristocratic family is too strong.

Arousing fear of the monarch is a taboo for aristocratic families, and this is true no matter under the command of any monarch.

After Mi Zhu left, he was thinking about how to make merchants not go to Jiangdong to do business as much as possible. Lu Bu's order was before May, and now it was already March, which means that there is not much time left for Mi Zhu.

"After receiving the order, the heads of the chamber of commerce in various states, rush to Chang'an as quickly as possible. If there is anyone who violates the order, the identity of the head of the chamber of commerce will be directly exempted from the identity of the chamber of commerce." Mi Zhu said in a deep voice.

The identity of the heads of various chambers of commerce is not as simple as it seems. It can reach the position of the heads of the chamber of commerce and still has a considerable influence in the local area. Moreover, the heads of the chamber of commerce have official positions, which is also the reason why merchants need to squeeze their heads and want to enter the chamber of commerce. In the chamber of commerce, not only can they get more useful information, but it is also possible to become an official after the contribution is large enough.

For ordinary businessmen, it is a great temptation to become officials. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the lowest-level figures. Although they did not feel this way in Jin State, the rules passed down over hundreds of years still make merchants feel a little ashamed.

After becoming an official, the situation will change completely differently. When he becomes a figure in the officialdom, he will have greater initiative in doing things.

Although the people of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce were puzzled by Mi Zhu's orders, they did not ask. They followed Mi Zhu for many years and were very impressed by Mi Zhu's ability. If Mi Zhu had no Mi Zhu, there would be no prosperity of the current Chamber of Commerce.

This is also the reason why Mi Zhu obtained such a position and other businessmen were just envious and not jealous. It seems that Mi Zhu was able to obtain his current status and the relationship between the Mi family and Lu Bu, but in fact, it is not the case. No matter who is not capable enough, it would be so difficult to get Lu Bu's recognition. Jin State needs more talents. Only after the number of talents increases can the country achieve greater development.

Many people see Mi Zhu's efforts over the years. If we talk about relationships, the Zhen family in Jizhou and Lu Bu have a good relationship. Zhen Mi is Lu Bu's concubine, and Zhen Yao is even the governor of Jizhou. Now most of the Zhen family are in Chang'an.

The Zhen family gained a lot of benefits because of being responsible for the Chang'an market, but in terms of influence, there must be a big gap between the Zhen family and the Mi family.
