This included some of the generals who had already submitted to Yang Rui. Yang Rui was also considering how to use some of them, and he was considering where to place some of them.
This included the Wuhuan Five Generals and the Xianbei Five Generals. The 10 generals who had surrendered from the two foreign races were not very loyal. Yang Rui had also been paying attention to separating them from each other to prevent them from betraying him.
At this time, Nan Lou and Bu Dugen were placed by Yang Rui on Yizhou Island. They were responsible for the safety of Yizhou Island together with Mi Fang. At the same time, it was also to allow Mi Fang to keep the two of them in check. This was because Xianbei and Wuhuan were enemies from the beginning.
The rest of the Wuhuan and Xianbei generals were also separated by Yang Rui. Lou Ban followed Xu You, Neng Chen Dizhi followed Jinan Xiangzhong Shao, and Mi Jia followed Donglai Prefect Ma Yu. The maps of Xu Province, Chen Liu Prefecture, and Penglai Secret Realm also had Wuhuan and Xianbei generals who had been separated by Yang Rui.
The Wuhuan Five Generals and the Xianbei Five Generals had been completely separated by Yang Rui, and their positions were all deputy generals. This removed the prerequisite for these generals to betray him again.
Many of the generals who were only followers or subordinates to Yang Rui made Yang Rui feel a lot more at ease. Yang Rui had also been considering the use of Dian Wei, Ju Shou, Yu Jin, Chen Lin, Liu Ba, Wu Anguo, and Han Hao in the army.
In terms of military, Yang Rui's three mobile armies were gradually taking shape. In terms of economy, Yang Rui had also been perfecting various economic methods and systems. Among them, the construction and development of the Commerce Alliance were the most important to Yang Rui.
When the third large-scale system storyline was about to unfold, Yang Rui tried to hand over the rights to hold the trade fairs of the Business Alliance twice. One was hosted by Yuan Shao of Jizhou and one was hosted by Sun Jian of Yangzhou. Both of them achieved their respective goals.
The Merchant Alliance's internal trade fair was an important means to promote the development of the Merchant Alliance. At this time, the East Sea currency used by the Merchant Alliance had been introduced. With food production as the foundation of "Mi Jin", it could be said that the Merchant Alliance was firmly controlled by Yang Rui. Therefore, no matter where the internal trade fair was held, the beneficiary would be Yang Rui.
The trade fair went smoothly, and it didn't matter where it was held. Furthermore, Yang Rui gave up the right to organize the trade fair twice in order to enrich the goods and quantity of the trade fair.
For example, during the trade fair held in Yuan Shao's territory in Jizhou, Yang Rui's side changed from being a supplier to being the biggest buyer. They bought most of the goods that Yuan Shao brought out.
Yuan Shao was very particular about his face. When he finally got the right to host the trade fair of the Merchant Alliance, he naturally tried to bring out most of the good things. Among them, the most unique thing was horses.
Jizhou was close to Bingzhou in the west. Although there was still Gongsun Zan in the north, Gongsun Zan's territory had been squeezed by more than half. A large number of horses from the grassland in the north could be transported to Jizhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao's horse resources were very rich.
Yang Rui's side bought 30000 war horses at the price of 400 East Sea silver coins per horse. At the same time, they bought 50000 draft horses at the price of 300 East Sea silver coins per horse. This accounted for 80% of the horses in the internal trade fair.
The price of horses had always been high. At the beginning of the game, it was more than 2,000 silver coins per horse. Later, it was 1,000 to 2,000 silver coins per horse. Now, it was 300 to 400 East Sea silver coins per horse. In fact, the price didn't drop much.
At this time, 1 East Sea silver coin could be exchanged for 3.5 game silver coins, and it had always been in a strong state. However, due to different needs, the price of horses didn't increase because of the change in the exchange rate of East Sea silver coins.
The internal trade fair of the Merchant Alliance hosted by Sun Jian in Yangzhou was similar. Sun Jian also took out a lot of resources and products to support the trade fair. The most unique thing was ships.
Perhaps because Yang Rui took away the building blueprint of the turreted ship, Sun Jian's ships were also very large. However, most of them were transport ships. There was a kind of warship that was similar in size to the turreted ship, but it was mainly used for boarding. It was called a bridgeship.
Sun Jian took out hundreds of large ships to support the trade fair of the Merchant Alliance, including the bridgeship. The price was the same as Yang Rui's ships, and the result was that they were very popular.
However, Xiaohui and Chen Xiaonan, who participated in the trade fair of the Merchant Alliance, didn't rush to buy this time. After all, their own ship building ability was there, and Yang Rui's current demand for large transport ships was also temporary.
In fact, Sun Jian also gritted his teeth and took out hundreds of ships. Although there was still a lot of profit to be made, Sun Jian still felt that it was a loss compared to the price of Yang Rui's ships.
Yang Rui's ship building was in the form of a workshop assembly line. Whether it was the manufacturing speed, the investment of manpower, or even the saving of materials, it was not comparable to Sun Jian's traditional shipbuilding industry.
Putting the cost aside, the key was that the speed of ship building could not be increased. At this time, Sun Jian's demand for ships was still very large. After taking out hundreds of large ships, Sun Jian had almost nothing left. In essence, it was a big loss.
Whether it was Yangzhou Sun Jian's persistence or Jizhou Yuan Shao's stubbornness, in fact, they were all contributing to the development of the Merchant Alliance. In the end, it was all beneficial to Yang Rui.
In terms of commercial development, while Yang Rui paid attention to the Merchant Alliance, he also paid attention to diversified development. For example, the transport team established by Wei Xiu'er and the traditional merchants in the territory were also supported by Yang Rui.
In terms of production, taking advantage of the development of the new territories, Yang Rui also correspondingly expanded the scale and base, allowing the various manufacturing industries to achieve solid development.
Taking shipbuilding and tea production as an example, Yang Rui took advantage of the demand for large transport ships and warships to build a wood processing and shipyard workshop in Xuzhou's Guangling Prefecture, allowing the shipbuilding ability to increase.
At the same time, Yang Rui also built a large tea processing workshop near Xuzhou's Guangling Prefecture City. It was specifically responsible for the purchase and processing of tea leaves from the south. Moving the tea processing workshop to the south saved a lot of transportation costs, while also ensuring the quality of the tea leaves after transportation.
While Yang Rui was making preparations, two months of the game quickly passed. One day, Yuan Shu's messenger once again came to find Yang Rui, and he seemed to be in a hurry. Yang Rui immediately knew that Yuan Shu's situation was not good.
As expected, Yuan Shu's messenger also proved this point. The messenger came because Yuan Shu's illness had acted up again, and his life was in danger. Yang Rui knew that this was the crucial moment for the storyline.
