"Shishang Xuan! Is it really okay? That's the Khitan Emperor who came here in person!"

"Or why do you withdraw the troops from Hebei City first, which is originally the land of the Great Liao..."

"There are still many Liao people in the city now. If they really want to fight, will they cause trouble in the city?"

"Our wood, grain, cattle and sheep, fur, medicinal materials, North Pearl, etc. all rely on the supply of the Northern Dynasties. There are millions and tens of millions a year. Once the war starts, won't it be impossible?"

"A lot of people are running away to Jingdong Shopping City these days! The real estate in Jiehe Shopping City has fallen by 30%... Or maybe I'd spend money to buy and return the Khitans. Anyway, it's only two or three million!"

"We can't let the Khitans withdraw their troops. They can still sell our red bricks, mud, weapons, armor, and war horses for a good price? This is a big deal of tens of millions!"

"But Jiehe's house has fallen too much..."

Wu Haogu was in the general office of the yamen office in the Xuanfusi Fortress, the elders of Jiehe Shangshi were in a mess. The news that Yelu Yanxi's army went south and interrupted trade with the Liao Kingdom spread. The elders who were originally quite confident could not sit still. They all rushed to Wu Haogu to ask for an explanation.

Although Wu Haogu was preparing for war since the first day of the establishment of Jiehe Commercial City. Moreover, after ten years of operation, Jiehe Commercial City has really turned it into a strong city with strong city defense, and a huge military industrial system has been built in the Commercial City. There are also countless heroes from all over the world looking for opportunities in the city.

But when the war was approaching, the people in the city, especially some of the wealthy merchants with millions of dollars, could not suppress their fear of the Khitans and ran to Xuanfusi Castle to ask for comfort.

Wu Haogu had actually expected this situation. Everyone has the first time! It is normal to be afraid. In the future, you will get used to it.

Looking at the messy look below, Wu Haogu suddenly burst into laughter. His reaction scared everyone in the room. What does it mean? Was Wu Xuanshuai scared me crazy? Isn't that?

The room became quiet, and Wu Haogu smiled and said, "You all rushed to Wu. You must be worried about the city defense of our shopping mall, right? Why not like this? You all bring your family and gold, silver and treasures to live in this Xuanfusi Fortress. Don't look at the small Xuanfusi Fortress, but it is a hard walnut. The reserves in the city are very sufficient, and the defenders are also the most elite. There are deep moats outside the city and various combat equipment on the city walls. I guarantee that the Khitans will not hurt you!"

This suggestion seems to be good!

Not all the veterans came today. Those who came were timid veterans, nor were they the iron-core Wu Haogu's, nor were they even the leading figures in the Shangcheng Senate, so they were so scared. So they took it for granted that the Xuanfusi Fortress, where Wu Haogu's office, must be very strong and the Khitans could not defeat them at all.

Seeing everyone being moved, Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you all move in with peace of mind... There is also a large treasury of Jiehe Bank here, which is open to you for free now. Don't leave your money in the market, deposit it all in. Then live a peaceful life. At most, Yelu Yanxi will retreat."

"One year?" The elders sent by the Cao family generals of Kaifeng Prefecture were stunned, "It's been too long, right?"

Wu Haogu smiled: "A year is not long... This time the enemy is the Great Liao! You can only wait for a long time, and you cannot fight a quick battle. But don't worry about the business of Jiehe Commercial Market. War is war, and business is trading. Before the Jiehe River is frozen, the Liao people could not cross the river. You can remotely control the business of the Commercial Market in Xuanfusi Fortress, and it is absolutely foolproof. Even if the Jiehe River is frozen, Yelu Yanxi cannot break our Commercial Market, let alone the Xuanfusi Fortress. You don't have to worry."

After the war is over, Wu Haogu’s business is not easy to do!

Moreover, the entire Hebei transitioned from a century of peace to a comprehensive preparation for war also required external pressure. Considering the efficiency of the Northern Song Dynasty's scholars and officials, a one-year protracted war is probably not enough to force them to accomplish a few things that are truly conducive to war. So Wu Haogu wants to fight for a few more years!

After comforting a group of nervous veterans, they divided the houses in the Fushi Fortress and sent them out of the fortress. It was almost time for dinner.

"Xuanshuai, Su Dalang of the Maritime Bureau and Zhang of the Shang City Finance Office have arrived at the inner hall."

Wu Haogu's Yuan Sui Wu Haopeng came forward to report to him at this time.

As Wu Haogu's career focus shifted from Kaifeng Prefecture to Jiehe Commercial City, the headquarters of the Republic of China also moved not long ago, and moved from Kaifeng Prefecture to Jiehe Commercial City. Su Dalang, as the main shopkeeper, naturally moved his family to Jiehe Commercial City. In addition, the original shopkeeper of the Maritime Warehouse Company, Ximen Yu of the Ximen Family, retired not long ago due to old age and illness. Therefore, the position of the shopkeeper of the Maritime Warehouse Company was vacant. Wu Haogu simply let Su Dalang take on two positions and serve as the shopkeeper of the Maritime Warehouse Company.

Zhang Xizai, who came with him today, has also worked with Wu Haogu for more than ten years. Although he is not as good at managing as Su Dalang, he is honest and reliable. He has been in charge of the financial power of Jiehe Commercial City for so many years and has not been corrupt and bribed. He is a rare "clever official". Therefore, Wu Haogu let him serve as the shopkeeper of Jiehe Bank and also holds two positions.

Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai became the confidants who were responsible for managing money and financial management around Wu Haogu.

The Republican Bank, Jiehe Municipal Commercial Bank, Jiehe Municipal Finance Office, Jiehe Bank are all rich now. The assets controlled by the four companies have long exceeded 10 million yuan, which is richer than Ji Yi, the Hebei Transport Authority.

To be honest, if one day Wu Haogu's career in Cangzhou was not supported by the Song Dynasty court, the assets managed by Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai alone could still be maintained! It could even expand the army to more than 100,000...

...

Although Wu Haogu now has a wealth of millions of dollars, his food, clothing and expenses are very cost-effective. A lunch is just a few simple side dishes and a bowl of white rice. Today, because I was eating with Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai and talking about things. Then I ordered the kitchen to add wine and food. The three of them did not need Meiji to serve them. They were in the restaurant upstairs of Wu Haogu’s general office, and they were having a meal while talking about money.

As a capitalist, you can never forget money! Even if it is a war, it is an opportunity to make a fortune.

The opportunity for wealth that Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai to discuss with Wu Haogu today is related to the Liao people in Jiehe Market.

Jiehe Shangshi was originally a partnership between Song and Liao. Although it has always been dominated by the capital of the Song Dynasty, the powerful and powerful people of Liao also have a lot of capital in the Shangshi.

With the tension in the relationship between Song and Liao, this group of Liao capital was seeking ways to withdraw.

"Let them go!" Wu Haogu smiled, "They are friends, and the business cannot be done. Benevolence and righteousness are still there. We can't break the market's brand for a little money. Besides, how many people can they take? Most of the warriors from the north who came south settled in Jiehe Market. It is impossible to take them away. We just gave them Cangzhou household registration and hired them to join the army."

Confiscation, freezing or disclosure of the assets of the powerful Liao Kingdom in Jiehe Commercial City are not something that Wu Haogu, a wealthy chamber of commerce based on integrity, is doing.

Besides, the reactionary Liao emperor who is now unable to match Jiehe Shangshi is not a progressive Khitan capitalist. How could Wu Haogu punish the Liao capitalist just because the Liao emperor was wrong?

Moreover, the powerful people who ran away from Liao Kingdom all took a group of disciples and thugs. After living in Jiehe Commercial City for so many years, they all took root, and they didn't just leave.

If their master left, no one would support them, and Wu Haogu would take over! In addition, if the powerful people of Liao Kingdom sell their industries at a low price, Wu Haogu would also be the official takeover.

"And this money will not go back to Liao Kingdom," Wuhao Ancient Road, "It's all money that is used to freedom, so why are you willing to stay in the cage? Our Jiehe Shang City sign protecting private property has long been erected. Not to mention Xijin Mansion, even Kaifeng Mansion cannot compete with us."

Although Jiehe Commercial City is jointly organized by bureaucratic capital and private capital, the bureaucratic capital of the Commercial City does not come from the same country, so for a long time, the officials who restricted the Song Dynasty were afraid of Liao, let alone bureaucratic capital? The capital of Liao was restricted by the Song Dynasty's maritime business capital, and the jobs of Xijin Mansion were held in the hands of these Song Dynasty maritime businessmen! The Liao bureaucrats of Nanjing Road and Tokyo Road were unwilling to break up with the Song Dynasty maritime businessmen.

Therefore, it became a consensus to protect the property rights of all parties in Jiehe Commercial City. During the more than ten years of development, Jiehe Commercial City Senate passed and promulgated a series of laws to protect private property.

"We can let them go to Jueying Island Market." Wu Haogu smiled, "Jueying Island Market is rented by Liao and has developed in recent years. The Liao nobles who are unwilling to stay in Jiehe Market and do not want to go back to Liao (some of them cannot go back). You might as well go to Jueying Island.

In addition, Jingdong Commercial City and Quanzhou Jinjiang Commercial City are both good. The system they implement is a reference for Jiehe. If the nobles of the Liao Kingdom want to go, we can also provide convenience. Cangzhou's household registration can also be arranged for them to go south as Cangzhou merchants. In this way, Cangzhou Hometown Association can help."

Jinjiang Commercial City was built by Su Che in Quanzhou based on the Tutong Port, and it also implements Chamber of Commerce Buying Pow Autonomy. All systems refer to Jiehe Commercial City and JD Commercial City.

As for the Cangzhou Association, it is a tool for Jiehe Capital to expand outward. Because the land in Nancheng of Jiehe Commercial City belongs to Qingchi County, Cangzhou, the name of the Cangzhou Association was used. Moreover, the former knights of Cangzhou, Yuntai Academy in Jiehe, and the power of the Doctorate Order also participated in it, forming a group across the military, political and business circles.

Ordinary local forces really dare not provoke Cangzhou Hometown Association!
