Master Lihua's call to action was really effective; all the Immortal Sect's florals arrived at Supreme Star, bringing not only themselves but also a swarm of disciples and various lesser florals, as well as a bounty of local specialties, all preparing to draw closer to Meng Yu when the time came.

Open doors, lease territories, cede lands, free trade!
When a business venture could yield profits as high as three hundredfold, even the most demanding of merchants preferred not to engage in prolonged wars but rather sought stable supplies and trade routes to quietly conduct their business and reap greater benefits, not minding even if it meant conceding a share of the profits.
Meng Dapao had roamed about during the initial stage, firing his cannon everywhere, all in the name of free trade.
