Recall the two righteous brothers, the three of them boarded the Yuci'an car, went out of the east gate, and went straight to Dongguo Port.

Luoyang Dongguo uses the Yang Canal as a barrier. There is a seven-mile bridge built on the canal seven miles east of the Upper East Gate. And in the east of the bridge, set up the Dongguo Gate to open three roads.

The Qili Bridge lies across the Yang Canal, cutting off the channel. Boats from the east cannot cross the bridge. Therefore, the current Dongguo Port is located in the area south of the Upper East Gate Royal Road and north of the Middle East Gate Royal Road. On the shore of Dongguo Port, there is a Chang Manchu warehouse. Tokimankura is located in the middle of the Awa market.

It occupies a very wide area, and "the system is very prosperous".

The so-called millet market refers to the grain market.

The rice and grain hoarded in the Su City can be fully supplied to the daily needs of the people in Luoyang Guo District.

The Yucian car passes through Su City and goes directly to Dongguo Port.

I saw that dozens of thousand-stone paddle steamers lined up and slowly entered the port. Pedestrians in the harbor stopped and stopped. Rush the slurry-free big boat, pointing and pointing. They whispered to each other, and there was a lot of surprise in their eyes.

Seeing the arrival of the royal car, the port officials hurriedly came to pick it up. I was relieved to learn that it was a townsman in the car.

Also. How could Your Majesty's daughter's body come to a filthy place full of goods from the north and south, and where all the laborers were disheveled. Fortunately, Liu Bei and the three of them were all dressed in regular clothes. Otherwise, it is a sin of disrespect. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many imperial histories. It's better not to fall into the mouth easily.

The three got out of the car. Raising their eyes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

There was no one on the deck, and the machine boat, which relied on the huge ship to row the water, opened the eyes of the two. In the past, although there were also salt merchants, wheels and boats traveled to and from the imperial capital to sell green salt. However, the boat is small. Seeing such a big ship now, the impact is extraordinary.

"What's the name of this ship?" Yuan Shao asked with a complicated look.

"Paddle steamer." Liu Bei replied with a smile.

Seeing that the surrounding crowd exclaimed from time to time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also beaming.

Cao Cao counted them in turn, and there were eleven ships. I couldn't help but speak: "The ships are all sold to Luoyang's famous products?" ”

"Ten famous ships, one famous man." Liu Bei said with a smile: "The traveling bachelor of Lousang Academy also came with the ship. I have already told my teacher that I will all enter the Taixue to audit, observe the Xiping Stone Scripture, and increase my knowledge. ”

"I see......"

As he was talking, Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper who arrived first, was hurrying over. He had rented a sufficient number of ox carts from Sushi to transport the famous products to Jinshui City.

Xu Rong and Cheng Pu also led the Dragon and Tiger Battalion to guard.

Seeing that there was a ship crane on the steamer, the boxes of goods were directly hoisted onto the ox carts lined up along the causeway. The crowd exclaimed again.

Zhang Fei pouted and said: "The Luoyang Port of the Son of Heaven is 108,000 miles worse than the Nangang of the eldest brother. Nangang row to build a rail road, the boat car can go directly into the cargo hold. Why hire an ox cart. ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "The eldest brother is called Qilin, and he is well-known in the world. How can such ordinary men be compared? ”

"What the second brother said is extremely true." Zhang Fei immediately stepped forward, speeding back and forth, scolding the coachman who was looking around, and tidying up the team without mentioning it. Guan Yu also rode his horse to follow.

Ten thousand-stone ships, the cranes swing back and forth, the hooks and cables slide up and down, and the goods are unloaded together, just like the scene of a huge machine. It was really shocking.

The officials from the countryside who came with the ship presented the manifest and rushed to return to their lives.

Liu Bei handed the manifest to the chief bookkeeper Jia Xu. Then he smiled at the officials who accompanied the ship and asked, "You have worked hard. Are you okay on the road? ”

"Back to my lord. The river is beginning to open, and the river is flat. The journey was uneventful. The official bowed and replied.

"That's very good." Liu Bei nodded happily.

"My lord, my lords. The subordinate officials are also busy and dare not stay for a long time. Let me quit. "The little officials have a moderate manner, and they are even official.

"It's your own convenience." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Seeing this unknown Nangang official, there is a knot. Cao Cao couldn't help but admire: "The monarch and the minister have a way. in order to advance and retreat in a disciplined manner. ”

"Yes, yes." Yuan Shao also nodded: "Xuande's ability to have today's momentum is by no means a fluke. ”

Soon a row of ox carts was hoisted. The Nangang officials who accompanied the ship had their own division of labor. Count the oxen trucks in turn, and let the coachman draw them one by one. This lined up and drove to the small market of Jinshui. There is also a dragon and tiger camp along the way, and you can't go wrong.

Those who came with the boat, except for the boatman and the scholar. There are also the main things that were removed from Liu Bei's own shops in the cities of Linxiang. The director will live in Jinshui City and manage various famous shops.

It wasn't long before that. Yuan Shu, the captain of Changshui, also led his cavalry to assist from the side.

The name of Yuan Changshui is unknown to anyone. With him present, he can deter Xiaoxiao. Chong Liu Bei hugged his fists and saluted, which detoured back and forth to disperse the crowd of onlookers.

Cao Cao glanced at the bamboo slips of the goods list in Liu Bei's hand, and asked casually: "I don't know the price of this batch of famous products?" ”

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "With the ship, I brought 3,000 stones of japonica rice, meat sauce Qianjun (xiáng), fish sauce Qianzhi (dān), brocade mats, sausages, orchid smoked ham, jade elixir, fire jade Huasheng, golden silk blankets, fox slashes, brocade mattresses, chicken chirping pillows, glazed fragrance dew, and so on." Or it can be sold for tens of millions. ”

The expressions of "......" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have explained everything.

"Wanshi's famous product, can it be sold in a year?" Yuan Shao asked again.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile: "I don't know." ”

As Lü Buwei asked. Lu's father replied. Farming is ten times more profitable, and traders are 100 times more profitable.

If you talk about the cost of Wanshi's famous products, it may be less than 100,000 yuan. In particular, such as fire jade Huasheng, gold silk blanket, the best bedding, fox and big cloud, Zhu Qiu brocade mattress, chicken song Hua pillow, jade elixir, glass fragrance, these luxury profits. It's just too profitable.

The profit from selling 3,000 stone to supervise Kang Japonica rice is less than selling a box and 50 bottles of glass fragrance!

However. Since it is a famous product, it should be sold in full. Besides, the high and the low. The more high-end luxury, the fewer people should respond. On the contrary, it is a popular general product that can quickly gather popularity. Jinshui small market, deep into the breeding goods. Although it is nearby, the people have changed the name of the former stinking colony to Liufangli. But most of the people in Luoyang still don't know.

Although the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. But if you are not popular, how can you praise it. If there is no praise, how can it be spread to ten, ten to hundred, and widely publicized.

Speaking of publicity......

Liu Bei's heart moved, and this was calculated.

Wanshi famous products, back and forth transfer, quite time-consuming and laborious.

Liu Bei, as the lord of the hometown, should be present at the scene. A number of officials in the countryside also did it themselves. Fortunately, the port is in Guonei. As long as you enter the port, you will not be blocked out of Guomen, and there is no door to enter and exit.

However, there is a curfew at night. Fortunately, Liu Bei had informed Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi in advance, and there were Changshui battalion soldiers escorting him along the way. The eastern lieutenant of Luoyang did not rush to investigate. The convoy set fire at night, and finally completed the transportation and unloading of Wanshi's famous products.

The officers accompanying the ship have conducted a detailed inspection and found no errors.

Both up and down breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bei asked Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper, to lead a group of officials who accompanied the ship to the orchid wine shop for a drink.

and waited for the boatmen to arrive at the horse market by car and stayed at the orchid restaurant. Settle the boatman who guards the boat, the boatman.

Waiting for Shi Lian to report, Nudao and his mother also disguised themselves to stay in the orchid restaurant.

Liu Bei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Then he cleaned up his mood and rushed to the wine shop with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.
