After defeating Helian and making military achievements to determine their prestige, Guo Peng's status was also recognized by the Wuwan people who moved to the country.

They sent envoys to make friends, and the Hu people in Youzhou were very afraid of Guo Peng.

On this basis, Guo Peng joined hands with the clan members to report to the court and requested the establishment of Hu City, Ning County, to trade with Hu people such as Wuhuan and Xiongnu, to subsidize Youzhou.

Hu City in Ning County, Shanggu County was opened by the Eastern Han government a long time ago.

As long as there is no war on the frontier, the Han government is willing to open a Hu city to trade with the Hu people, so that the money can subsidize Youzhou's expenses.

Because Youzhou is too poor and chaotic, it often needs financial support from Jizhou and Qingzhou to maintain its life, which makes Jiqing and Qingzhou very dissatisfied.

The chaos in the past period of time interrupted Hu City in Ning County for several years. Now the border is peaceful, and it is the time to open Hu City.

Opening Hu City is beneficial to many people, and it is of great benefit to both clan and Guo Peng.

After the Hu people were under the jurisdiction of Guo Peng, and after Guo Peng gained prestige and established his status, major tribes such as the Wuwan Huns were very afraid of Guo Peng's reputation.

Now that Hu City is open, they must get Guo Peng's permission to trade. It is all about Guo Peng's words that can come from any tribe and which tribe cannot come from.

The same is true for clan members. If business travelers in Youzhou and even Jizhou want to participate in the trade with Hu people for profit, it is not possible without approval from clan members.

The Hu market makes money, which is the same for the Hu people and Han people. Take away their own goods and sell them back and sell them. The profit is several times that is jealous, but not everyone can come.

Therefore, if you want to do business, you must open up the upper joints.

The upper joint is the two local snakes, Guo Peng and Zong Jun.

When the Wuhuan tribe, the Xiongnu tribe and some Mihu tribes heard about this, they sent people to Ning County to meet Guo Peng, hoping to get the qualification to participate in Hu City and give gifts to Guo Peng.

The clerk seems to have also received a lot of gray income.

This is what it should be. No one thinks something is wrong. If you don’t accept it, people will feel that it is not right. Are you targeting me or something?

Guo Peng happily accepted a large number of gifts from these tribes, including cattle, sheep, horses, bone products, leather products, gold and silver, etc., and then obtained a certificate from Guo Peng to participate in Hu City.

Guo Peng did not take these gains by himself, but gave them to the meritorious subordinates and used them to improve the life of the army, etc. The soldiers were very happy and trained harder.

Through Hu City, the clan members established a relationship with a group of more gentle tyrants, which improved their mutual distrust and successfully won over some people who were willing to do their own things.

Of course, some people were rejected by clans, because they had always had personal grudges with clans. When clans saw that they were unhappy, they did not give them the qualification to participate in Hu City.

This is the matter of the clan, and Guo Peng will not interfere.

He and his clan exchanged lists and trade contents with each other, and announced the convening of Hu City, which will be a limited time for one month, allowing people from all over the country to come to Ning County to participate in Hu City.

Guo Peng mobilized his army to set up the Hushi Market and set up the Hushi Market a little distance from Ningxian County to ensure that the people of Ningxian County are not affected.

To this end, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were also sent to lead the army to guard the place and maintain order.

Then, Guo Peng waited for the wealthy merchants who came here to participate in Hu City to visit him.

You must do nothing if you have power, status, status, and prestige. You must do well and do well. On the basis of social consensus, you must realize your identity, status, power and fame to the greatest extent.

The military achievements exchanged for life are not just exchanged for the Yangdi Tinghou rewarded by the court. Many of the things it comes with are not delivered directly to the hands, but have to be developed on its own initiative.

The first person to come to see Guo Peng was introduced by Liu Bei, who were Ma Shang Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who had helped Liu Bei raise an army.

The two of them knew their own identities and status, so they came to see Guo Peng carefully. As a result, Guo Peng treated them very enthusiastically and had a cordial conversation with them. There was no intention of despising them or blackmailing them in their words, which surprised them.

They brought a lot of gifts, and the most valuable ones were naturally war horses. Twenty were given away. These twenty were not ordinary horses, all of them were white horses.

Guo Peng knew that it was Liu Bei who reminded them as soon as he guessed.

Liu Bei had seen the war horse under Guo Peng's crotch and asked Guo Peng if he liked the white horse. It seemed unintentional, but he didn't expect to use this place.

Is this really going to be the White Horse General by himself?

It’s true that after defeating Helian, Guo Peng went to the Wuhuan tribe several times to negotiate with them and mediate the conflicts between the tribes. They already had the perception that “the one who rode a white horse was Guo’s lieutenant”.

Guo Peng held the two of them and told them that Hu City would open again. As long as he was willing to come, he would come. As long as he complies with the rules, doing business is a good thing.

The two of them were very happy and left Guo Peng's mansion with great gratitude.

Afterwards, many Han merchants came to pay their respects to Guo Peng.

These Han merchants often come not to buy things, but to sell things, compete with the Hu people, sell horses and other supplies that are very in short supply in the Central Plains.

Because of this relationship, I hope to get Guo Peng's care.

Seeing the gifts they gave, Guo Peng naturally agreed to take good care of them.

Some merchants who came to buy things also came to visit Guo Peng. Of course, they came to buy things, and their needs were different.

I came to meet Guo Peng mainly to meet Guo Peng, with some other purposes, such as obtaining stable sales channels for purchasing horses, cattle, sheep, etc.

Guo Peng met many businessmen. Some of these businessmen were even in Jiangnan. They were merchants from the four major families of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang. They lived in Hebei for a long time and did business. This time, they also came to visit Guo Peng, the new Huwuhuan Captain, to seek more cooperation.

Guo Peng is highly prestigious and controls the lifeblood of the Hu people's trading. In the eyes of these people, he is a crucial figure.

Only by obtaining Guo Peng's permission can they legally contact the Hu tribe and directly purchase huge amounts of goods from the Hu people, without worrying about being seized.

Among them, Guo Peng came into contact with famous local tyrants such as the Mi family in Xuzhou, Chen family in Xuzhou, and Zhen family in Wuji. They all made friends with Guo Peng, gave gifts, and sought a way to buy goods.

Some of their introductions made Guo Peng realize that he could actually rely on the power and cheapness he possessed to seek a path to prosperity for himself.

He controlled the Wuwan tribe. The Wuwan tribe was in awe of him and gave him many horses, cattle and sheep. In addition to the previous war seizure, he controlled a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and sent people to herd at the foot of the Great Wall to improve his life.

But here, these livestock are either used for eating or farming, and horses can only be used for riding, but if they are sold to the Central Plains, they will be several times or even ten times the profit at a time. How much of the same thing can you buy when you come back?

Guo Peng felt that he had to adapt to local conditions, give full play to his own advantages, give full play to his regional advantages, and gain more wealth, so as to expand his power.

However, if Guo Peng did it again by himself, it would probably take a lot of effort, and he didn't have the energy, and he didn't have reliable businessmen at home, so it would be embarrassing that he could not find a sales route for goods.

Moreover, the mutual guard against each other and discrimination between regions these days is very serious, and outsiders are absolutely unacceptable to the local environment.

Then the best way is to find people to cooperate and find merchants with reliable sales.
