People say 'fireworks in March down to Yangzhou', that's because Yangzhou is indeed a flower city, not only beautiful flowers, people are also beautiful, but wait until May, is the season of fruitful branches, those plants that bloom in March, May have produced attractive fruits, Yanglin is biting the sweet gourd pear into Yangzhou City, greeting him is the prince Li Chengqian, who arrived in Yangzhou three days ago.

"I said Xiaolinzi, since you have already taught a few people about the band conductor, why are you still delaying them from starting to promote and sell goods, the letter from my father to me can be urged, the grain in Chang'an City can last for a month at most, except for the time of the boat, we don't have a few days to collect the grain." Li Chengqian complained a little.

Yanglin wanted to negotiate with Zhang Liang about the reorganization of the Huainan Naval Army, so he delayed in Huaiyang for a few more days, and the emperor's holy decree was very clear. Prince Shaobao Chu Suiliang is Sima, Zhang Long, Peng Jian, Dou Yuming, Xie Feiyu is the deputy general, Feng Zhidai is the army, assisting Yanglin to manage the Huainan Navy, and to Yanglin stipulates the number of Huainan Navy, 5,000 transport soldiers, 5,000 craftsmen, and 5,000 soldiers.

The so-called overall layout is that in addition to exterminating all the water bandits in the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Dongting Naval Division in charge of the Yangtze River waterway, the Bianzhou Naval Division in charge of the Yellow River Waterway, the Liaodong Naval Division in charge of the East China Sea Coast, the Lingnan Naval Division in charge of the South China Sea Coast, plus the Huainan Naval Division in charge of the Huaihe River Waterway of the Grand Canal, which has just been established in Yanglin's hands. Except for the Bianzhou Naval Division that Zhang Liang recently moved to and the Huainan Naval Division that Yang Lin had just incorporated here, there were some shadows, and the other three major naval divisions either did not have them at all, or they were enemy-occupied areas occupied by water bandits.

Zhang Liang came to Huainan with a ship full of Shenwei cannons but did not succeed in the battle, so he was naturally a little aggrieved, so he took on the task of exterminating the Dongting water bandits and forming a naval army to lead the south. After recruiting 5,000 young men from 18 villages, he expanded to 20,000 Bianzhou sailors and began to train on Hongze Lake. The Huainan Naval Army, which accounted for two-thirds of the transports and shipwrights, embarked on the road to leave their hometown after a simple adjustment in Yanglin, and they would follow Feng Zhidai to the sea to Lingnan to establish a fleet that completely broke the stereotype of the existing ships of the Tang Dynasty, and opened the door to shipping and naval warfare for the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yang Lin poured into Feng Zhidai, anyway, it made him put down his beloved math textbook, and patted his chest to Yang Lin enthusiastically and promised that he would definitely bring this group of people to Guangzhou Bay completely, and complete the initial construction of the wharf and shipyard there, Huainan Shipyard and Lingnan Shipyard will be the branch of Datang Shipyard, and now a consortium has begun to buy the sky-high shares of the shipyard. Yanglin didn't worry about money at all, so he sent a letter to Guyue Daowen to send some technical talents to help plan the construction of the two branch factories, and the two factories were built at the same time.

"You don't understand this, people's feelings are like kneaded dough, they will ferment, and the goods of the top ten factories in the east and west have already been sold to the prosperous Yangzhou in small quantities. The more they can arouse their desire to buy, the more they don't have to worry about not being able to sell the goods, and their thirst for these good things may even be greater than our thirst for food. And the reason why the rich are rich is because they are smart, if I am not bad, the rich merchants of Yangzhou City should have already begun to hoard a large amount of grain in nearby prefectures and counties as early as when we opened a commodity recommendation meeting in Huaiyang to buy grain. Because the price of grain in Huaiyang was raised by 20% in that exchange, don't think that they made us suffer a loss of 20%, in fact, this difference can help us buy a few days of grain collection time, I think it is worth it to give them. And we can also double that money back in Yangzhou City. Yang Lin explained to Li Chengqian with some complacency. He is a big businessman who has watched many business war dramas in later generations, and he has a very accurate grasp of the mentality of these businessmen more than a thousand years ago, so he can naturally think of a perfect solution to the problem.

Although Li Chengqian has some straw bags in this kind of thing, but he can't stand Yanglin's all-round propaganda and temptation offensive, he has already issued a very specific order to the various stewards of the fleet, Yangzhou's population and economy are only ranked behind Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, this is still because Chang'an is the capital, the gap between the two can be described as minimal, Yanglin here can not afford to lose a war, so in the past three days, each ship has put down the biggest propaganda means to advertise their own goods, but there is no price to sell, and the Yangzhou business community plays the temptation card.

What is a 'temptation card'? Look at the kiln sisters of the drunken fairy building dressed up one by one, leaning on the boat to sell incense but not accepting customers, looking at the cargo ship with a huge wine word written on it attracts countless wine smellers every day but does not sell, and then look at the super luxury stage built on a vacant land since arriving at the Yangzhou wharf, these are all temptations, even the little two who sell noodles on the street know that the imperial court's fleet will have a big move.

Holding the camera in Yangzhou City to walk around a large circle of Yanglin and rest for a day before the art troupe of the art soldiers put on the red cloth strip of cross-shoulder that he had long ordered to make zuò, began to parade the street propaganda, tomorrow at dusk, the court held a large-scale commodity fair at the wharf open, then there will be the Tang Dynasty Art Troupe to present the top song and dance, the Lord Thorn has issued a notice of no curfew in the city, inviting the people of the city to celebrate, those on the shoulders of the art troupe members on the red cloth, is written all kinds of commodity advertising words.

"The goods of the imperial court are going to be sold, according to the situation of Luoyang, Bianzhou, Songzhou, Huaiyang, they will only sell at the wharf for two or three days, according to the transaction volume, determine the size of a state city's supermarket, the reason why our Yangzhou is rich, is because this is the surrounding eleven states and eighty-six counties of the goods trading center, I estimate that their sales here will be far more than Luoyang and Bianzhou, and the size of the supermarket here will be far greater than Luoyang and Bianzhou." On the Chunhua Building, a famous restaurant in Yangzhou City, in a luxurious private room, dozens of richly dressed businessmen gather here, they are the heads of Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and almost half of the prosperous Yangzhou City is the industry of these merchants, and it is precisely because they have formed an alliance that they have maintained the situation that the Sui and Tang dynasties are not declining, and even thriving.

Talking is Lu Bingchang with two beards, he is the second son of the head of the Lu family in the Jiangnan Wang clan, because he has been in charge of Huainan's business, so the Lu family has always been in Huainan, his brother Lu Bingkun is benevolent, after taking over the family business, he shared some money with him, because he is also a rich man who can be ranked in Yangzhou City, Huainan, and because of his wisdom, many business measures of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce are proposed by him, such as the grain storage plan ten days ago.

Although Huainan is not as good as Jiangnan with dozens of states, but in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there have been bumper harvests every year, and their group of merchants have received 500,000 stone grain from the surrounding states and counties in just ten days, and the 500,000 stone grain is about 250,000 guan according to the previous market price, and now it should have risen to about 300,000 guan, but now there is a locust plague in Guanzhong and there is a shortage of grain, and the disaster has been known in various places, and the grain price changes day by day, and the 500,000 stone grain that they have hidden is likely to suddenly become 600,000, or 900,000, or 1.2 million guan, and even higher. Because this batch of grain that can barely make Chang'an City barely eat for two months determines the fate of the people of Chang'an, with the support of these two months, the imperial court can wait for the new grain collected by various places this year, so as to support Yanglin to transport back the grain received from Jiangnan to survive the winter.

"What Brother Bingchang said is very true, I heard that Luoyang's businessmen raised millions of dollars to set up a supermarket, and sold most of the cost in just over a month, I heard that they did mean that the top ten factories in Chang'an got low-priced goods, and said that they could make a profit within two months, and the profit within a year was not less than 300,000, such a good deal, we Datang is rare." A fat man with a slight flattery answered.

"The supermarket is indeed a good deal to make a lot of money, but Brother Lu wants to rely on 500,000 stone grain in exchange for the supermarket in Yangzhou City, I'm afraid he can't, the heavenly horse in charge is known as a good wealth boy, and all kinds of means are against the sky, but don't anger him, and make the big guy chicken and egg fight." The one who spoke was an elder, and his voice was quite majestic, he was Gong Moru, the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and he was not very willing when Lu Bingchang offered the grain in the Chamber of Commerce, but in the case that the grain could bring some benefits to the Chamber of Commerce, he agreed.

But this time, Lu Bingchang mentioned that everyone took the 500,000 stone grain that they bought for 250,000 yuan a few days ago and exchanged the heaven-granted horses for the supermarket in Yangzhou City, because he calculated that Chang'an was short of food, and the imperial court would purchase grain in Huainan at any cost, and also persuaded most of the members of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce that he, the president, had no way to stop it, and 250,000 yuan was nothing to the financial resources of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, even if it was lost, it didn't matter. But the immeasurable value of Yangzhou City supermarket for these members of the Chamber of Commerce is a huge temptation, Luoyang only sells goods to a few states and counties, a month's turnover is more than 100,000 yuan, Yangzhou is radiating the entire Huainan relatively wealthy 11 states and 86 counties, the business opportunities here are too great, they can't be tempted.

"What about the boy of good fortune? As long as we grasp the 500,000 stone grain in our hands, the emperor will bow to us, this is a good opportunity for us to get rich. Lu Bingchang retorted. (To be continued......)
