Most importantly, Qiao Mao, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and several other vassals had maintained their relationship with Yang Rui. These vassals had long established a relationship with Yang Rui. However, regardless of whether they were enemies or allies, taking advantage of Yang Rui's wedding, they all proposed a lot of new cooperation intentions.
This included all kinds of business contacts and exchanges of talents. The vassals on the alliance side wanted to consolidate their relationship with Yang Rui, while the vassals on the enemy side wanted to maintain the status quo and prevent Yang Rui from interfering too much.
Even Ma Teng, Tao Qian, Sun Jian, and other vassals who were geographically far away from Yang Rui were actively trying to build a good relationship with Yang Rui. They proposed a lot of cooperation in various fields. Although the depth and scale of their cooperation could not be compared to the nearby vassals, their intentions were still positive.
At this point, with the royal wedding as a node, Yang Rui had received the most widespread recognition among the vassals. His position was finally consolidated, and he had laid the foundation for dominating the region and even the entire region of the Three Kingdoms.
The royal wedding might not be comparable to the "Vassal Alliance" during the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the rulers usually established their position through the "Vassal Alliance", and at the same time, they were granted special rights by the emperor.
Therefore, the "Vassal Alliance" was often used as a symbol of dominance.
The reason why Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Ju Shou, Chen Lin, Liu Ba, and the others were so united in supporting Yang Rui's royal wedding was mainly based on the "Vassal Alliance" of the Spring and Autumn Period as a target and reference.
This time, Yang Rui's royal wedding was quite similar to the "Vassal Alliance". The vassals had all come in person or sent messengers, and they had also received a high-standard royal wedding from the emperor. Forces large and small from all over the country had come to congratulate him. These were all remarkable performances.
The royal wedding could be said to be a symbol of Yang Rui's development. After this event, the basic structure of Yang Rui's relationship with the vassals had been established, and it even had a great impact on the development of the Three Kingdoms.
Apart from the various vassals, various forces had also reached a number of cooperation agreements or intentions with Yang Rui. Although most of the agreements were mainly in the area of business and trade, other than the profits, their main goal was to establish a good relationship with Yang Rui. the Mi Clan.
This time, Mi Zhu had personally come to attend Yang Rui's royal wedding. Not only had he married his sister Mi Zhen directly to Yang Rui, but he had also directly married his sister Zhen to Yang Rui. At the same time, the Mi Family had also reached an agreement with Yang Rui on a series of cooperation, including basic resources and various products.
In terms of resources, the Mi Family was in charge of almost all of the basic resources other than food. Roughly half of the trade was handled by the Mi Family in Xu Prefecture, especially in the area of timber. Eighty percent of the timber was handled by the Mi Family in Xu Prefecture. The low-grade timber from Qing Prefecture and the Shrimp Barbarian Land was sold by the Mi Family. At the same time, they were in charge of purchasing high-grade timber for Yang Rui.
The Mi Clan's cooperation with Yang Rui would definitely bring them many benefits. At the same time, it also represented Tao Qian's stance in Xu Province. After all, Mi Zhu was currently Tao Qian's personal secretary, and the Mi Clan had completely sided with Tao Qian.
As for food, it was the most important resource. It was also the most important resource among the many resources, and Wei Xiu 'er was still in charge of it.
Although the Chen Liu Prefecture's Wei Clan was like the Mi Clan in Xu Province, with their daughter Wei Xiu 'er marrying Yang Rui as the main wife, their relationship had once again improved. However, the main body of the Chen Liu Prefecture's Wei Clan had already sided with Cao Cao, so there was no further cooperation in the trade.
The Chen Liu Prefecture's Wei Clan had only expanded the business of A pint of incense, including the supply of wine, various materials, and finished products. They had placed many orders with Yang Rui, and almost all of their purchases were placed in Yang Rui's territory.
As a result, the Chen Liu Wei Clan's business of A pint of incense with Yang Rui had more than doubled.
However, Wei Xiu 'er had completely become one of Yang Rui's people, and the food and other basic resources that she managed no longer had anything to do with the Chen Liu Wei Clan.
The Xu Province's Mi Clan and the Chen Liu Wei Clan were only two representatives of the various large and small powers. The other four clans, such as the Kuai Clan, the Cai Clan, the Ma Clan, and the Yang Clan of Jing Province, had come to congratulate Yang Rui on the wedding. Most of them had also reached many business agreements with Yang Rui.
Including the supply of finished ships, Yang Rui had ordered 1000 medium-sized transport ships from each of the four clans, causing them to be overjoyed.
In terms of warships, Yang Rui already had the ability to mass produce them. Large and medium-sized warships such as turreted ships, warships, and Bi 'an were all being launched. Various small warships such as dagger-axes and clippers were also being produced at full capacity.
However, due to the lack of manpower and craftsmen, Yang Rui's forces were lacking in transport ships. At this time, Yang Rui had sent out large orders to the various clans. Establishing connections was only one of the aspects, and he himself had a rigid demand.
After the battle with Cao Cao and Liu Dai, Yang Rui's blueprint for the defense line on the water was ready.
In order to control the Yellow River and Ji River in the north, and the Wenshui and Sishui in the south, effectively defending Qing Province and Yan Province in the north, and even expanding their control to the Ying and Huai Rivers, surrounding Qing and Yan Provinces. At the same time, they would provide protection for Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao. Clearly, ships were a necessity!
For this reason, not only did Yang Rui send out large orders to the four clans of Jing Province, he also ordered 1000 transport ships from Yangzhou's Lu Clan and Jia Clan, causing the two clans to be overjoyed.
It must be known that among the transport ships that Yang Rui ordered, the cheapest one cost more than ten gold coins, while the larger ones cost more. Overall, it was definitely not a small sum. More importantly, this was only the first order of cooperation.
Regardless of whether it was the clans of Jing Province or Gangdong, due to the geographical distance, most of the people who came to congratulate Yang Rui on his wedding were from the side branches. Being able to obtain such a large order for their clans was also an important support for their status in their clans, so they could not help but be happy.
At the same time that he ordered a large number of ships from Jing Province and Yangzhou, Yang Rui also made an agreement with the big merchants of Ji Province, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, to order 30,000 horses every year. Furthermore, he expanded the scope of the business to include cows, donkeys and other large livestock. Yang Rui would buy as many as the other party could provide!
At this time, horses, cows, donkeys and other large livestock could take on a large amount of heavy work. They were the foundation of transportation and farming. Yang Rui collected these large livestock to further increase the productivity of his territory. At the same time, he also had the strategic intention of competing with Yuan Shao and the others for production tools …
...
Within a day, Yang Rui had signed countless business orders such as ships and horses in the south. Almost all the forces and clans did not return empty-handed. While all the guests were happy, they were also deeply shocked by Yang Rui's strong strength!
A day passed quickly. While Yang Rui's harvest was bountiful, he had a headache again. Seeing that the night had fallen and the lanterns had just been lit, Yang Rui finally decided to go to the courtyard of Jun He Tianming's wife, Ren Sisi …
