Therefore, Zhao Zhong once again gathered together the members of the Zhao Ning, Zhen family, Mi family and other merchant guilds.
Everyone sat in the living room with worried expressions. There was a shortage of labor, and more than half of the workshops had stopped operating. Faced with a large number of orders from newly opened shops, everyone could only feel anxious but had no solution.
Just as everyone was filled with worry, Zhao Zhong, beaming with joy, entered the living room.
After taking his seat, Zhao Zhong didn't waste any time and immediately looked at everyone and said:

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all thought of the Xiongnu, Qiang, Wuhuan, Xianbei and so on.
Just as everyone was discussing the matter, several messengers sent by Liu Hong also rode away from Luoyang on fast horses, speeding towards the borders of various places.
