The so-called Shu Business Alliance is the official business team of Shu headed by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were both from Zhongshan, Jizhou. They were from the same hometown as Zhen Yi, but they had always been suppressed by the Zhen family's business.

The two of them have been following Liu Bei since he started his army. After Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei formed an alliance in Taoyuan, they decided to recruit troops to fight for the Yellow Turbans.

But because he had no money, he could not even buy his own horses, and weapons could only be purchased from the weapons eliminated by the officers and soldiers.

As a result, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang passed by with a caravan. They saw Liu Bei, the leader of the three, with his ears hanging down from his shoulders, his hands above his knees, his eyes focused on his ears, his face like a crown of jade, and his lips as if painted. Fat, at first glance, is not a mortal.

And the two strong men behind him, one is nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, with a face as heavy as jujube, lips as if greased, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows, with a dignified and majestic appearance.

The other one is eight feet long, has a leopard's head with eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, a sound like a huge thunder, and a power like a galloping horse.

At first glance, these two people are the most powerful generals in the world, both of them are brave enough to be worthy of any man.

Zhang Shiping and the two knew that the Han Dynasty was in decline and the Yellow Turbans were in power. It was already the beginning of troubled times. Judging from the appearance of these three people, they knew that they would have extraordinary achievements in the future.

So he stepped forward to communicate with them. When he learned that they had just become sworn brothers and were preparing to form a self-defense force to help the officers and soldiers fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, he immediately praised the three of them.

When the two of them learned that Liu Bei and the others had no money and could neither afford war horses nor weapons, they immediately provided them with five hundred taels of gold and silver, fifty good horses, and one thousand kilograms of iron..

Now the weapons used by Liu Bei and the others, Liu Bei's male and female double swords, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Zhang Fei's eight-foot steel spear are all made of this thousand kilograms of fine iron.

So the two of them formed a good relationship with the three Liu Bei brothers. After Liu Bei became the shepherd of Yizhou, he specially sent people to bring Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang to Yizhou to share the wealth.

This time, Longguo fine wine was seeking agents in various countries. Liu Bei knew that he could not stop his own businessmen from going to Longguo, so he followed Jia Xu's strategy and formed an official caravan to participate in the bidding.

Since he could not stop his own businessmen, Jia Xu suggested that he simply seize the agency rights himself, so that all the money earned from the Longguo wine sold in Shu would go directly to the Shu treasury.

Liu Bei was originally worried about how to prevent Shu businessmen from participating in the auction, but after Jia Xu's suggestion, he was immediately overjoyed, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang led the team to the Dragon Kingdom.

Because this Shu business alliance was funded by Shu king Liu Bei with money from the treasury, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang also had some money, they overpowered other Shu caravans to take over their country's agency rights.

The Fengguo Business Alliance is also the official caravan of Fengguo.

However, this caravan is different from the Shu Kingdom Business Alliance, which is a business alliance between Shu Kingdom officials and private businessmen such as Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. Instead, this caravan is composed entirely of children of the Yuan family and is completely affiliated with Yuan Shao's royal caravan.

With Yuan Shao occupying Yanzhou and one-third of Sizhou, and forming an anti-Liu Feng alliance with Cao Cao and Lu Bu, Yuan Shao has become a veritable leader of the new generation of the Yuan family.

In addition, Runan had been occupied by Sun Ce's Wu State, so the Yuan family followed Yuan Shao to move to Xuchang. In order to be able to drink Daolong State wine at the lowest price, the Yuan family's children formed the Feng State Business Alliance with Yuan Shao's tacit approval.

As for the Cang Kingdom in Jiaozhou, because it was too far away, and Shi Xie had been cutting off contact with the Central Plains and wanted to split the land of China and become independent, merchants were prohibited from going to the Dragon Kingdom, resulting in no one from the Cang Kingdom coming to participate in the auction.

In addition, because the Liang Kingdom was too barren and the merchants in the Liang Kingdom were not wealthy, the agency rights of the Liang Kingdom were eventually bought by the Liang Kingdom Business Alliance formed by Ma Teng at a low price of 50 million dragon coins.

Compared with the transaction prices in the five countries of Wei, Shu, Wu, Feng, and Lang, this price is only half of theirs. This also reflects that the people of Liang State did not have much money left after the Qiang invasion.

As the agency rights of Dragon Country Fine Wine in various countries were auctioned off by several caravans for huge amounts of dragon coins, the auction came to an end.

However, before the caravans were about to leave Longcheng Academy and return, the host of this auction, Longguo's Chamber of Commerce Minister Zhen Yi, stopped everyone.

He said loudly on the stage:"My colleagues, there is one more thing, because it involves the interests of the caravans that have obtained agency rights, so I would like to remind everyone again."

Due to the design of Longcheng Academy, the people on the stage The voice was much louder than the audience, and could cover the entire audience. In addition, Zhen Yi deliberately raised the volume, so after saying this, everyone looked at Zhen Yi.

After all, they came here to participate in the auction to gain profits.

Zhen Yi said that what he said next involved the interests of all agents, so they naturally had to listen carefully.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhen Yi said with a smile:"Everyone, originally Han-made copper coins are completely unusable in the Dragon Kingdom, and the exchange for dragon coins has been stopped long ago. However, for the convenience of everyone, our Majesty the Dragon Emperor specifically allowed it The Dragon Kingdom Commercial Bank allows people other than the people of the Dragon Kingdom to come to the commercial bank to exchange dragon coins.

However, the exchange time is only limited to three months from today. After three months, the dragon coins of the Dragon Kingdom will no longer be exchanged for copper coins."

After everyone heard Zhen Yi's words, they immediately exploded again.

After all, according to the description of the previous bidding rules, dragon coins can only be used as the only currency in the Dragon Kingdom, and even if their caravans from other countries have won the agency rights, they can only use dragon coins to purchase the Dragon Kingdom. Fine wine is in stock.

Because the caravans who had obtained the agency rights had already signed the agreement on the stage and paid the agency fees, they were all sitting together at this time.

After listening to Zhen Yi's words, Mi Fang turned to look at Lu Su next to her and asked:"Zijing, what do you mean, Mr. Zhen, but even if we have agency rights in the future, we can't use copper coins to purchase goods?"

As a top strategist, Lu Su Zhen Yi guessed his intention when he made this decision.

So he smiled bitterly and said to Mi Fang and the people around Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping:"That's right. The reason why the Dragon Emperor specially reminded us of this matter is obviously to allow the caravans from various countries to do their best in three months. Bring the copper coins at home to the Dragon Kingdom and exchange them for dragon coins.

Otherwise, without the dragon coins in the future, we will not be able to buy the original wine from the Dragon Kingdom, and the agency fee of 100 million dragon coins will be in vain. What a big loss."
