He smiled and nodded without saying a word, which means that it was not right to go to the side, but Ji Xiang's words reminded others. Liu Yong pondered for a while and said, "Guide Mansion is next to Kaifeng Mansion. If this road is open, our things can be sold to Kaifeng. Can both sides trade directly?"

"Xiao Yong is right. Take down Guide Mansion and the road to Kaifeng Mansion will be opened. Our wine, our salt, and even all specialties in Nanzhili can be sold by land. The Yellow River waterway is indeed important, but from Nanzhili to Henan is a countercurrent. Land transportation is not a loss. Without the obstacles in the middle, it will be sold directly to Kaifeng and deal with all aspects of Kaifeng Mansion. The situation will be opened." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Wang Zhaojing nodded and reminded: "Brother, don't forget to leave Guide Mansion not far away, it is in the northern Zhili territory. Once the Guide Mansion is captured, Xuzhou will not be a corner, but a thoroughfare. If you take Guide Mansion, the situation will be very open."

Kaifeng Prefecture is the top five major prefectures in the world. It is not inferior to capital yamen like Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture. Kaifeng City is second only to the capital, the fourth giant city in Nanjing and Suzhou. The population inside and outside the city has exceeded one million.

Whether it is private salt or sour wine, there is a huge demand here. After opening this road, Zhaoziying's business will naturally be more prosperous. Jixiang's family has learned a lot about this and wants to understand this matter. She was a little worried for a moment, worried that Zhaoziying's winery would not be available.

But Ji Xiang and Liu Yong were both a little confused, Ji Xiang asked directly: "Brother, third brother, you all said that the situation has started. Does this mean that the business is booming? Is it not like me?"

Zhao Jin smiled, looked at Wang Zhaojing, dipped his fingers in the teacup, and drew a circle on the table.

"This is our Xuzhou. It is said that Xuzhou is a well-connected place, but in Xuzhou, we are actually blocked from all directions. On the north is a poor place in Shandong, there are also a sect and a lot of horse poles. On the south is Fengyang Prefecture, where is the Zhongdu, and the officials and civilians are in one form, and on the east is Huai'an Prefecture. We fought several times before we had a territory in the north of Huai'an Prefecture. In the east is this Guide Prefecture. Think about it, are we surrounded by these places, no matter whether we go south, north, east, west, and you have to pass other people's territory. If you don't do it or spend money, you can't get through it smoothly?" Zhao Jin drew a few circles on the desktop.

Ji Xiang led the personal guards and Liu Yong led the inner guards. The two of them knew very well about the surrounding terrain. Zhao Jin said, they could already think clearly.

"In Xuzhou, there are many situations, if you want to move, expand, you have to fight. Moreover, these four places are also closely watching our Zhao-Caiying. If the Zhao-Caiying moves, troubles will be caused in all aspects. At this point, it will definitely involve the government. Then, if you want to move, you can also reach the east, gain a foothold in Huai'an Prefecture, and then expand to the south. However, in the Qingjiangpu area of ​​Huai'an Prefecture, the entire Yangzhou Prefecture, I don't know how much interests it involves, and how many high-ranking officials and powerful people are involved. If we do it ruthlessly, we will be charged with the crime of rebellion and rebellion. If the army will suppress it, it will be a disaster."

Zhao Jin spoke solemnly, and others did not think it was exaggerated. Qingjiangpu was the center of the canal transportation, grain merchants gathered in goods, and Yangzhou was the salt industry hub. Two-thirds of the world's wealth came from it. I don't know how many people in the world made money. If Zhao's name was expanded, it would definitely cause conflict.

Now everyone knows that using regiments to train private soldiers or the people in the martial arts world is not the opponent of Zhao's name. If it is really urgent, some people will use officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. As the identities of high-ranking officials and powerful people, it is not impossible to do this. The great righteousness can be vague and involves personal interests. Then they will be immortal.

"After taking down Guide Mansion, we have at least three directions to move. We go west to Kaifeng Mansion, and we go south to Runing Mansion, and there are two choices in the north, either Shandong or Northern Zhili. These places are not wary of us, we move forward and retreat calmly, and this is the situation is getting big."

Ji Xiang and Liu Yong thought about it carefully for a while, and their faces were full of joy, but Liu Yong asked with some concern: "Brother, this place is not as good as our Xuzhou. The gentry on the ground may not know how powerful we are, so maybe it will be a little trouble."

"What trouble can there be? Since we are not natives from Guide, we don't have so many affectionate relationships. If we are disobedient, let's try our swords and guns," Zhao Jin said firmly.

Everyone had nothing to say, and using force, Zhao Ying had this confidence.

In fact, after the agreement was made to take over the grain tax, the situation changed immediately. No matter how autistic the landlords were, they knew to ask what Zhaoziying was like. Guide Mansion and Xuzhou were so close that no one cared about any provincial boundaries at this time.

In addition, in Guide Mansion, Xuzhou method can be used. The Zhaoying flag was erected. After the benefits were made, countless people came to join us immediately, riding horses and carrying swords. There were a lot of people there. There were also hundreds of people who were together.

If it were normal, even if this group of people gathered together, they would be a mess of sand, because no one supported him, no one punished him, and no one protected him. Now Zhao Ying did these for them, and a mess of sand immediately turned into a wolf or tiger.

Hundreds and thousands of people had chewed everything, and they couldn't beat them. There was Zhao Ziying waiting behind him to take action. If he caused trouble, he would drill into the ground of Xuzhou. No matter how private the government was, who could go over and get people?

Having said that, no matter how powerful the Guide Mansion is, the manpower will not exceed a thousand. If you really tear your face and fight dozens or hundreds of lives, no one will make such a fool.

However, there are some exceptions in Suizhou. Suiyangwei is not short of young and strong people, and there are even hundreds of skilled martial arts. Let's get together and can also come up with a very good team. But Suiyangwei is too lazy to pay attention to these things. They are the second one to come to the door and ask if they can cover some of their private salt. They are close to Kaifeng Prefecture and are the most advantageous.

Zhao Jin did not stay in Guide Mansion for too long. He left behind Ji Xiang, two companies, and fifty riders here. He led the brigade back to Xuzhou. Before leaving, he explained that he would follow Ji Xiang's assignment. If you don't understand anything, just go to Xuzhou for inquiries. Anyway, everyone is so close, it's less than two days' journey.

Ji Xiang led a team of nearly 300 people to guard Ma Muji, and there were almost 300 martial artists gathered in Guide Mansion, and of course 30% of them rode donkeys or mules. Although Guide Mansion was much larger than Xuzhou, in terms of martial arts, riding horses and swords, there were few places like Xuzhou in the world.

These more than 300 cavalry and nearly 600 men who dare to fight and rush, form the grain collection team in Guide Mansion. Although the days of paying the autumn tribute have passed, now everyone has to collect some owes, and the clerks of Guide Mansion's yamen have already published a list.

Before collecting the debt, what these nearly a thousand people had to do was to "protect the country and safeguard the people". Several poles in Guide Mansion had not come to burn incense and kowtow, so they would use them to sacrifice their flags, and then integrate the team, and then kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

There were six poles in total, and the largest group was enough for 400 people. They were rampant in the local area, but they were wiped out in one day. This was different from being in a state of mind and not being in a state of mind. On the one hand, they had to show off in front of Zhaoziying, and on the other hand, they felt that there was someone behind them, so they fought hard and fought hard. Then poles wanted to fight a tough battle, but they were knocked down by the horse team and were completely killed.

The most powerful group was killed, and the rest either collapsed on the spot or surrendered in panic. Some wanted to hide out. A group of private salt dealers in Luyi County wanted to hide in Fengyang Mansion. Unexpectedly, they were caught up by the Zhaoziying team who was rushing to pursue. There were only more than fifty cavalry, but they killed all the private salt dealers of more than a hundred people on the flat ground.

When things got to this point, Guide Mansion knew where to go. Those wealthy families were autistic, but when they reached the critical moment of life and death, they also understood how to make choices. Losing some money is better than being pulled out of the roots. So they were ready to pay the money and grain, and then sent their children in charge to Xuzhou.

It is one thing to visit Zhaoziying and greetings. The grain has to be exchanged for silver to pay taxes. It is said that it is all purchased by Zhaoziying, so there is a reasonable price to negotiate anyway. Otherwise, if he lowers the purchase price, everyone will have no place to cry.

However, after going there, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Jin was really just like the rumors, keeping his word and doing things fairly. He did not take the opportunity to lower the price of grain, and gave it a little lower than the market price, but this was the case for bulk transactions.

People are so strange. When paying imperial grain and national taxes, they are unwilling to pay a penny. Even if the clerks and servants collect according to the rules, they think it is a deep hatred. However, when the disaster comes, they are grateful for the treatment that is a little more fair. You must know how much more this is than what they paid that day.

But everyone is grateful for it. Guide Mansion is still celebrating the justice of Jin Ye in his work. Later, we, the head of Guide Mansion, will be blessed.

From the appearance of Zhaoziying to the withdrawal of the brigade, Zhaoziying spent less than twenty days in Guidefu. In this short period of time, even if the overall situation of Guidefu is decided, the next step is to end.

However, the time required for the ending is far greater than that of pacification. Zhaoziying quickly suppressed all parts of Guide Mansion with its strength and killing. This does not mean that it can be controlled stably next. If you want to control the same as Xuzhou, you must send your own people. At the same time, the force quickly organized in Guide Mansion cannot be given up, and you must also hold it in your hands.

It was really complicated at this time. Zhao Jin withdrew the Xuzhou military men who were placed in the refugee village. At the same time, he drew 400 Gu Yu Qingzhuang from the refugee village to let them go to Guide Mansion. At the same time, he also split the salt patrol team into three teams, one of which was specifically located in Guide Mansion, and then let Guide Mansion jointly protect the counties and prefectures. Each capable family had ten to twenty people, and then placed them elsewhere with the rules that were not allowed to do things in the hometown.
