Of course, he had already agreed to set up a chamber of commerce, so Zuo Houde naturally sent someone to prepare immediately. Of course, the only trustworthy candidate around him was Yao Ping.

Zuo Houde summoned Yao Ping and said, "You go and set up a chamber of commerce immediately!"

At this time, Yao Ping hesitated: "Head of the family, I have never worked as a businessman!"

Zuo Houde smiled slightly: "Nothing happens, you go to General Li Yu first and ask him to find a few shopkeepers for you. Those shopkeepers know it. Ping mainly watches them do it and learn from it! This chamber of commerce was established by me and several generals. If you have any difficulties, you can find a few generals!"

After hearing this, Yao Ping went down to prepare immediately.

Zuo Houdecai was thinking alone in his seat. In fact, in Zuo Houde's opinion, this is the most important link. With this chamber of commerce, Zuo Houde could form an interest alliance with the senior generals in the army.

Zuo Houde liked a sentence in his previous life: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!"

An alliance that benefits everyone can often be indestructible!

As soon as this chamber of commerce is established, Zuo Houde's layout in the army can be said to be roughly completed.

As long as Zuo Houde's personal guards are slowly transferred to the army and people are spread from top to bottom, Zuo Houde can control them.

At the same time, this chamber of commerce has more purposes. The chamber of commerce needs people, so Zuo Houde can arrange his own family members. In this way, Zuo Houde can not only give them benefits, but also their family members, and naturally can conquer them.

Of course, the news that Zuo Houde wanted to establish a chamber of commerce was not hidden from the twelve chambers of commerce in the city.

These twelve families naturally regarded Zuo Houde's chamber of commerce as the enemy, so they came to the door together!

...

At Zuo Houde's mansion, Zuo Houde looked at the representatives of the twelve families coming to the door.

Zuo Houde was not surprised at all, after all, he would inevitably lose their interests when he established a chamber of commerce.

Zhao Pingde, led by the twelve families, looked at Zuo Houde and said, "General, you have to take 200,000 taels from each of our families every year, but now you have established another chamber of commerce!"

Zuo Houde drank a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhao, Zuo Hou's chamber of business will have Zuo and the other generals together. I think Mr. comes to know!"

Zhao Pingde nodded, and the other eleven nodded.

Zuo Houde slowly put down the teacup and said leisurely: "I wonder if you are willing to join in! The other generals and I can represent the official of the entire Dingcheng City. Mr. Zhao and others have been engaged in business for many years. They have their own network of relationships and can collect countless goods. It is natural that we cooperate with each other! Our business can expand countless times, and our goods can also have more choices!"

Zhao Pingde and others did not expect that Zuo Houde actually wanted them to participate and was still hesitating for a while. Of course, they knew Zuo Houde's words. With the official cooperation of the entire Dingcheng, the business was simply not easy to do.

Of course, after all, he is a businessman, so he naturally won’t be able to get along with the money. He was just stunned. Zhao Pingde immediately agreed, and the other eleven families agreed.

The crowd reached an agreement. Zuo Houde knew that the next step was to discuss the division of interests. Zuo Houde just stretched out four fingers and said, "Our entire military only has 40%. We guarantee that you are safe enough in Dingcheng!"

...

Time flies quickly, and the new business bank was organized quickly with the help of the remaining twelve companies. Of course, Zuo Houde recruited almost all his personal guards and the family of ordinary soldiers.

The Chamber of Commerce soon began to operate, with the remaining twelve networks of relationships, and there were constantly transporting prohibited items in weapons and armor from Dingcheng to Nanming. Zuo Houde and others made a lot of money.

Of course, in Zuo Houde's view, money is very important, and more importantly, he takes this opportunity to arrange his own personal guards' families in the business bank so that they can be loved by themselves.

At the same time, Zuo Houde's restaurants and shops in the city are constantly recruiting people, all of whom are the families of soldiers in the army. Zuo Houde knew that if this continues, Zuo Houde doesn't need to say that these soldiers who get benefits will naturally follow Zuo Houde.

...

A year later, Zuo Houde's personal guard camp.

During this year, Zuo Houde has been continuously delegating his personal guards to the army to act as grassroots officers in the army. It can be said that Zuo Houde has now been able to control the entire army through these personal guards.

Now Zuo Houde has only 20 or 30 people left in the personal guard camp. These 20 or 30 people are all people who seem to be loyal to him and capable. They are all unsuccessful in the army. Zuo Houde gave them a future. At the same time, Zuo Houde also recruited their homes to his own restaurant and shop, leaving them without any worries.

Zuo Houde was of great use to them, so he didn't put them at the grassroots level. After staying in the personal guard camp for a while, Zuo Houde entered his military tent.

From time to time, Zuo Houde recruited the other generals. When everyone arrived, Zuo Houde looked at them, smiled and said, "Everyone, do you know how much the business has made today?"

The twelve companies in charge of operations, and Zuo Houde is responsible for supervision. These generals would read the account books from time to time, but they only knew that the companies made money, but there was no accurate number.

So when everyone heard Zuo Houde's words, their eyes shone.

Seeing them like this, Zuo Houde didn't keep it a secret. He stretched out a finger and said, "Ten million taels!"

Everyone took a deep breath of air conditioning. Even Zuo Houde didn't expect so much. As the guard of Dingcheng, Zuo Houde naturally knew that Dingcheng's military expenditure was less than one million yuan a year.

But this business can earn ten years of military spending in one year!

Zuo Houde then began to allocate: "According to the rules, our military needs 40%, which means four million is ours. Four million miles ago said that I account for 40%, Li Yu and others each have 10% of them, which is 400,000, and the other three generals account for 20%, which is 800,000."

After saying that, Zuo Houde ignored the strong breathing of everyone present and said, "I decided to take out one million from my income and distribute it to the people below the army, so that everyone in the army can have a share!"

Li Yu and others looked at Zuo Houde with surprise, and then said, "General, be kind!"

Zuo Houde waved his hand and said, "I'll eat meat, and the people below should also eat soup!"

When everyone left Zuo Houde, he was also very happy. In just one year, Zuo Houde could be said to have run Dingcheng like an iron barrel. There were Zuo Houde people in the army, and many of the soldiers' families benefited from Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde can be said to have won the hearts of the people.
