Seeing that Li Chongjiu did not say what opportunity it was, Lin Dangfeng meant to attack Yi County, so he knew it and stopped asking questions.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu made a reckless conclusion and felt that things were going well. He said, "Shopkeeper Lin, if it weren't for your help this time, I would have no clue to conquer Yi County."

Lin Dangfeng laughed and said, "Prince, what did you say? We are not in a relationship once or twice."

"Yes, it's not a time or twice," Li Chongjiu thought for a while, and asked, "What counties does your Lin Family Business Association mainly do now?"

Lin Dangfeng heard Li Chongjiu's inquiry and said, "It turned out that it was mainly Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, and occasionally walked on the valley. Zhuo County was mainly out of the grassland to trade with the Xi people. The farthest time was to the north of Mobei, and passed the vast Gobi Desert. After returning, the caravan lost half of the wind and sand because of horse thieves, and he would not leave in the future."

"But after Yanmen was plundered by the Turks, Liu Wuzhou occupied Mayi again. Now the business of the three counties in Yanmen is not easy to do, let alone going out of Yanmen County to Huaihuang Town. There are no Hu people now. Liu Wuzhou's cavalry is prone to robbery. Now we have to go out of the frontier. We mainly go out to Shanggu and Zhuo County, and then go to Yuyi Town to trade with Xi people, or unload goods directly in Yuyi Town and hand them over to local sellers."

After hearing Li Chongjiu's inquiry, Lin Dangfeng said everything. Li Chongjiu nodded. The Lin Family Business Association was the most powerful business association that traded with the Xi people in the past. And they opened a five-bedroom two-story shop in Huaihuang Town, specializing in selling tea bricks, brocades, medicinal materials, needles and thread from the Central Plains. At the same time, they bought horses from the herdsmen, gave birth to skins and then sold them to the mainland. Now, many herdsmen and herdsmen on the grassland have heard of the name of the Lin Family Business Association.

Li Chongjiu thought that if the president of the Lin Family Business Association continued like this, he might one day become a great successor in the Sui and Tang dynasties. At present, it depends on Lin Dangfeng's ability and whether he is willing to support him. When talking about business matters, Li Chongjiu didn't realize that he talked more about it. Although he did not work in this industry in the past, in terms of management, logistics, and cost utilization, business people always have similarities.

Li Chongjiu talked casually, but he always hit Lin Dangfeng's key points. Occasionally, some of Lin Dangfeng's business difficulties cannot be solved. Li Chongjiu's casual words can often make him clear. Lin Dangfeng wanted to use pen and paper to write down every word Li Chongjiu said.

Lin Dangfeng was extremely convinced by Li Chongjiu and said, "Prince, fortunately you don't do business, otherwise we will all have no food to eat."

Li Chongjiu smiled and asked again: "Just, my experience is nothing but paper talk. How can I get the experience of Manager Lin from many years?"

Lin Dangfeng said sincerely: "Prince, I really don't think you have never done business. You just said that even if we have been doing it all our lives, we have never even thought about it."

Li Chongjiu changed the topic and said, "Since Manager Lin is selling goods to the grassland, he has his own shops in each county?"

This is a bit of commercial secrets. Lin Dangfeng did not hide it and said directly: "The prefect, in the past, there were pharmacies, skin shops, whip sticks, etc. in Yanmen, Jinyang and Shangdang counties, but the situation there is not good now. Now it has been transferred to Zhuo County and Bohai County. In several counties in Zhuo County, we have business. In Ji County, we have four or five shops, and we have bought hundreds of acres of land, and there are special people to collect rent. As for Bohai County, the situation is a little messy now, but we still have three boats along the coast, specializing in transporting some silk goods from the south of the Yangtze River. In Shu, we also have several purchasing areas, specifically collecting Shu brocade and tea bricks."

Li Chongjiu nodded, which meant that the Lin Family Business Association had reached out to all places. At that moment, Li Chongjiu asked: "It is not easy for the Youth Business Association to open such a big shop in Jixian County. How do you get in touch with each other?"

At first glance, I was a little confused about this, but the specific person who handled it understands that this is asking who is leaning behind the business association. Since the Lin Family Business Association has invested in a considerable industry in Jixian County, there must be officials on it to take care of it.

After hearing Li Chongjiu's question, Lin Dangfeng shook his head, sighed, and said, "It turns out that we have opened the joints of Guo Tongshou in Zhuo County, but unfortunately now..."

Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that Guo Tongshou was Guo Xuan. When he led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebels a few months ago, he misunderstood Dou Jiande and died because of the other party's deception of surrender. Guo Xuan was finally chopped off by Dou Jiande. Li Chongjiu understood why the Lin family has increased their investment in itself. It turned out that after Guo Xuan's death, they lacked official support. Now, in order to maintain their business, they have also increased their investment in Li Chongjiu.

For Lin Dangfeng and Li Chongjiu, the emotional investment between the two is very important, but more importantly, Li Chongjiu is now the biggest support of the Lin Family Business Association. After Li Chongjiu understood it, he said, "Since Manager Lin traveled around the world and had industries in various counties, I would also like to ask Manager Lin to do me a favor."

Lin Dangfeng immediately showed a serious look. With Li Chongjiu's current status, it is generally not easy to ask for help. Lin Dangfeng immediately said, "Prefect, please tell me, I will definitely help if I can help."

Li Chongjiu said in a statement: "I want to ask the Lin family caravan to conduct business in various counties, and they are very well-connected and have many ears. They also ask me about information from all parties. How about my ears and ears?" Lin Dangfeng showed a sudden look and understood that Li Chongjiu wanted his business association as his detailed work.

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes. It was a matter of traveling around as a businessman, and it was easy to find out the news. For example, if there were many officers and soldiers stationed in a city, others might not know, but merchants who specialize in buying vegetables and rice for officers and soldiers can infer the accurate strength of officers and soldiers by selling how much rice and grain they sell every month.

Moreover, merchants also have a set of meticulous means of delivering information. They will immediately hear the news wherever goods are reduced or where goods are in urgent need. In the ancient times when news was blocked, it took more than ten days for major events in Luoyang to reach Hebei. The news is second only to the government and is the most informative. If Li Chongjiu wants to have major events in the mansion, it is the fastest to learn the news from the merchants. Li Chongjiu now wants to use the Lin Family Business Association to first establish his own intelligence network in Hebei to spy on the military situation of various forces, and then slowly expand.

Lin Dangfeng knew that if he agreed, he would have completely boarded Li Chongjiu's ship, and the two sides were completely tied together. This risk was very high, but it was an opportunity with extremely high returns. Lin Dangfeng did not agree immediately, but said, "Prince, this matter is of great importance. There are two brothers in the business association, and I will be in charge of the matter. I will ask them for their opinions and then answer the prefect."

Li Chongjiu knew that he was too impatient, so he said, "You can ask Manager Lin to discuss it slowly." While the two were discussing, someone suddenly reported outside the door: "Prince, the room is in the peak of the room and ask for a meeting!"

Li Chongjiu was surprised. Why did Shidefeng come here suddenly if he was originally in Yuyi Town? Then Shidefeng entered the house. After both sides sat down, he said to Li Chongjiu in a hurry: "Khan, according to the Mukun tribe, the Han Han sent someone to tell us that Mohefu tribe, the two divisions of Qige tribe have surrendered to the Turks and handed over hostages. Now they are training their troops, as if they are to invade the ranch in the Qinshui area of ​​Wuhou. Now the elders ask us to withdraw our troops from the south and return to the grassland immediately to deal with the possible attacks of these two divisions."

Li Chongjiu thought it was not good, and the thing he was most worried about finally came. Now that Song Jingang has not yet calmed down, and there is a strange movement from the northern border. Isn’t this a two-sided place? Mohefu tribe, the Qiqi tribe is now surrendering to the Turks, and it is not sudden. Shibi Khan moved the Khan's Khan from Yudujin Mountain in the north of the desert to Tieshan north of the south of the desert (Note 2). Li Chongjiu heard about the migration of the Turkic Khan's Khan, and knew that Shibi Khan's move was comparable to Emperor Xiaowen's determination and courage to move the capital to Luoyang. The opposition and pressure within the two tribes were very strong.

This move requires absolute courage, but now Shibi Khan moved the Khan's house to the south of the desert, showing the Turks' determination to move south to the Central Plains to take control of the Central Plains. Therefore, many of the grassland tribes who were originally convinced and dissatisfied, now went to Tieshan to pay homage to Shibi Khan and expressed their loyalty to him.

Li Chongjiu asked, "Is this news reliable? We were told by the man from Qiuli, will the elders understand the situation at all?"

After hearing this, Shi Defeng said, "This incident happened very suddenly. The elders were panicked when they heard it, and they didn't ask for more verification. They immediately asked Khan, you should immediately dispatch troops and return to the grassland."

Li Chongjiu secretly scolded this as a one-sided word, all from the mouth of the man in Qiuli. This is the disadvantage of not having the ** intelligence system. Lin Dangfeng, who was on the side, said, "Prince, if we are dispatching troops now, then our efforts to attack Yi County will be in vain. Not only Fan Yang, but also the entire Shanggu County may not be able to be protected."

Li Chongjiu said, "It's the coldest time on the grassland. Even if the two divisions are going to send troops, they have to go through this section. Besides, since the Qiuli Han said that, the Mukun tribe must have prepared a long time ago and go back and tell the elders that they can't be transferred now."

"This," Shi Defeng said immediately, "Khan, the elders have unanimously requested this, please understand."

Li Chongjiu knew that the elders were annoyed. The people seemed to be creditors and thought that the nine thousand cavalrymen were lent to him. If they were not careful, their capital would be lost and they always wanted to take back the people from the south. They were more concerned about whether their cattle, sheep and livestock were safe. As for the Han people in the south, it was Li Chongjiu's own business, and they would not worry about it.

Li Chongjiu said, "Okay, go back and tell the elder to withdraw his troops within one month."

"One month?" Shi Defeng suddenly changed color.

Li Chongjiu said, "I am Khan, don't I even have this month's deadline?"

"But within a month, the two may have been played long ago."

Li Chongjiu said, "Tell the elders, let them move south. If this happens, I will compensate them for all the losses of cattle, sheep, and livestock."

Shi Defeng thought for a while and said, "Khan, one month is too long, I will delay it for at most half a month. If it doesn't work, the elders will not be able to pass it."

Li Chongjiu thought about other delaying strategies within half a month, so he said, "Okay, half a month, that's the case for the time being."

Note 1: Outuo means the buffer zone of boundary, which is what the Hu people say.
