Liu Xin told Cheng Yu the operation model of the stronghold and his own management methods of the stronghold without reservation. Cheng Yu couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are at the bottom of society, and most aristocratic families are reluctant to touch them. Because merchants are very profitable, many aristocratic families send slaves to manage their shops. As a result, many slaves take the money and run away, so many aristocratic families are not willing to deal with merchants.

happiness.

However, businessmen can make money and buy what they need when they can make money. However, they are powerful but cannot get the social status they deserve. This contradiction has existed since ancient times. Cheng Yu feels that Liu Xin has now summarized a special set of business methods.

Methods, plus the fact that he has special goods as a basis, can he establish a business operation model that belongs to him.

That night, Liu Xin chatted with Cheng Yu very late. Seeing that Cheng Yu's bond value had reached 86 points, Liu Xin had to leave tomorrow. Each of the 20 strongholds has two days for one and a half months. Now he

I only visited four bases.

"Zhongde, I'm leaving tomorrow. I wonder if you would consider going to Xiandu County with me?" Liu Xin asked directly.

"I know Liu Jun's heart, but if I leave Dongjun, my family may become a weakness for me in the future. The Cheng family is based in A County, Dongjun, but it is difficult for me to persuade the head of the family to give up!" Cheng Yu replied.

This is indeed a problem. Liu Xin knows that Cheng Yu is willing to leave on his own. If Cheng Yu is threatened because of his family in the future, Liu Xin will not stand it.

"I once told you that Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan, Zhang Ju, the governor of Taishan County, and the Wuhuan tribe in northern Youzhou might start a rebellion together. By then, the surrounding areas of You, Qing, Ji, and Xu would be affected, and a large number of refugees would flow in.

East County, it's going to be a mess here.

I have a caravan and now I am not short of money and supplies. If you can use this to let the Cheng family capture Dong'a County, the Cheng family can gather the rebels and train their own soldiers to defend against foreign enemies!" Liu Xin said this, recruiting Cheng

Yu's sincerity is already obvious. For you, I can support the Cheng family to rise to power.

"In this case, it's good to arrive. With Liu Jun's help, it will be easy to capture Dong'e County. Dong'e County is the main channel to enter Sizhou, the core of the Central Plains. It's just a small Dong'e County. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold here.

Heel." Cheng Yu thought Liu Xin wanted to recruit the entire Cheng family and began to analyze the world situation for him.

"If there is chaos in the world, the safest place is Yizhou. I have built a large stronghold in Chengdu, Shu County, Yizhou, and a small stronghold in Nanzheng County, Hanzhong. However, because of the dangerous terrain of Yizhou, it is very difficult for caravans to transport

.

The Cheng family can help the stronghold expand the scale of the Yizhou stronghold, establish a branch in Yizhou, and slowly move some family members there. If you can no longer stay in Dongjun in the future, you can move the entire family to Shujun in Yizhou." Liu Xin suggested.

said.

"Cheng Yu thanked my lord for this! I have to leave with my lord this time, and I have to make more arrangements for my family affairs. It will probably take half a month." Cheng Yu said to Liu Xin.

"No rush, I have to go to other strongholds and let Li Zong lead my personal guards at your disposal. It will probably take a month before I can return to Dongjun to join you." Liu Xin decided to come.

Recruiting Cheng Yu is of great significance to Liu Xin. If recruiting Jian Yong gives him the ability to compete with the Zhuoxian family, then recruiting Cheng Yu has raised Liu Xin's strength to the county level and become a truly influential person.

the power of historical processes.

Without the cavalry to follow, Liu Xin and Zhou Tai were much faster. He rode a BMW to the three counties of Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou in eleven days, and completed the eight strongholds here. Then it took another two days.

Time passed through the three strongholds of Sizhou and Yongzhou, and finally came to the south of Chang'an City, preparing to cross the Qinling Mountains to Yizhou.

It is said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. For the first time, Liu Xin experienced the difficulty of the 800-mile Qinchuan Mountain Road. Even though they were riding BMWs, Liu Xin and Zhou Tai were able to inject vitality into the BMWs under their crotches. They traveled through many mountain paths.

A leap can span several feet, so it took them more than 2 days to enter Hanzhong County!

Entering Hanzhong County, Liu Xin saw that although the people here lived a hard life, they were much better off than in other states in the Central Plains. The price of food in Yizhou was much cheaper than in other places. The most expensive rice only cost 230 yuan per stone, and wheat only cost 150 yuan, which was lower than that in Zhuozhou.

It's even cheaper when the county is at peace.

As the second largest state in the world and a land of abundance, Yizhou has the highest grain output among the thirteen states and a population of 5.3 million. Even after Liu Bei took over Yizhou and experienced more than 20 years of war, Yizhou still has more than 200 people.

Ten thousand people.

Therefore, Liu Xin attaches great importance to the Yizhou stronghold. If he can conquer the world in the future, it will be easier to conquer Yizhou with a stronghold.

The mountain road from Hanzhong County to Zitong County began to decrease. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the yield of cultivated land is much higher than that of Zhuo County. All the way through Guanghan County and into Shu County, Liu Xin saw that the prosperity here was beyond imagination.

The entire Shu County is less than one-third of Xiandu County, but its population reaches more than 400,000. Many village forts are built outside the city, and many of them are far away from the county seat.

There were a lot of bandits here. Liu Xin encountered dozens of bands of bandits along the way. The number of bandits in some cottages exceeded a thousand, but he did not see any government troops sent to clear them out.

When he came to Chengdu County, Liu Xin saw this city, the core of Yizhou. The city was not as big as Zhuoxian County, but the villages nearly a hundred miles outside the city were very dense. Many people were working in the fields with no clothes on.

It is rare to see refugees outside, and Liu Xin also knows a little about the situation in Yizhou.

Found the stronghold. It was a large village fort with an area of ​​more than 30 acres and more than 2,000 people living in it. The more than 10,000 acres of farmland in the village fort belonged to Liu Xin, including more than a dozen villages with thousands of tenants.

Liu Xin found the person in charge of the stronghold and found that the situation here was not as good as he thought. Due to transportation difficulties, there were very few fine wines in Zhuo County, and only fried noodles were better sold.

The tax revenue in the county is very high, reaching 50%, and the land rent received from the tens of thousands of acres of land is only about 10%. Moreover, it is not easy for there are many aristocratic families here to build relationships and influence the whole of Chengdu. The biggest role of the stronghold now is to do business and make some money.

"From now on, your income in Yizhou will not be sent back to Zhuoxian, all of it will be used to expand your strength.

To purchase more land, you can go to the western counties of Shu County. I just ask that you can provide it when you need food. Don't be afraid that the government will collect more taxes. You use money to pay taxes and use food to train more soldiers. Only by making yourself bigger and stronger can you use your stronghold.

A greater role." Liu Xin said to the person in charge of the stronghold.

After staying in Chengdu for two days, Liu Xin left some food and supplies rewarded by the system for the person in charge of the stronghold to make connections, and then visited Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren comes from a Chengdu family in Shu County. The Zhang family does not have great influence in Chengdu County. Liu Xin wants to recruit Zhang Ren. Although the bond value between the two reaches 62 points, Zhang Ren still uses the excuse that he does not want to leave his hometown.

rejected his recruitment.

Liu Xin was not angry either. He told himself that the person in charge of the stronghold was his friend. After introducing them to him, Liu Xin gave Zhang Ren some system items and a bottle of [Wuliangye]. He hoped that Zhang Ren could help the stronghold train troops. Be careful not to
