Ayapin looked at Yang Zilu carefully with some surprise, he felt that this Shanyue chieftain did not look like a chief at all, but like a businessman who had been in business for many years. There is no stupid feeling of Shanyue people at all.

Ayato touched the short beard that was carefully groomed on her chin, and said, "I don't care what kind of business you are here for, but the people you bring can only bring ten people into the city, and the rest stay outside the city!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help frowning, they could be said to have eaten and slept in the open air all the way, and there were no tents, so they all chose a good time at night and went to the cave to rest. It's not that Yang Zilu doesn't want to make tents, but the materials in this era are too scarce, and even if there is a surplus with animal skins, they are still used for sale, where can they be used as tents. As for Azabu, how many tribes do you think there are in the Shanyue people who have such technology?

Yang Zilu patted the baby elephant, and the baby elephant immediately squatted down smartly, and was dumbfounded when she saw Ayato, thinking: It would be nice if I had such a big guy.

Yang Zilu walked over, took out a money bag from his waist, handed it over, and said with a smile: "This is for the general and a group of brothers to drink!" ”

When Ayato heard this, he was physically and mentally comfortable, general, although the distance between him and the general was very different, but who doesn't like to listen to good words? Ayato took it, weighed it in his hand, and immediately smiled. He estimated that it was about thirty dollars. You must know that these soldiers guarding the frontier, excluding the oil and water they have pumped, only have an average of 15 yuan a month. In fact, this is not small, you must know that three dollars can buy one stone of grain, and a strong man can only eat one stone and a half of grain a month.

Ayato pretended to be an old man and coughed, and said, "Okay! But listen to me, don't make trouble in the city, or don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"This is natural! This is natural! Yang Zilu replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Yang Tugou in the back spit anger in his eyes. When the group entered the city, Yang Tugou couldn't help but say, "Chief, why were you so polite to them just now!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he smiled and said, "You don't like me flattering them, right?" As the saying goes, Hades is good at seeing little ghosts. Be polite to them, give a little money, and it will be useful in the future! ”

"What's the benefit!" Yang Tugou said disapprerovingly.

"Those of them who guard the city gate dare not say that they are the most well-informed, but they are also one of the most well-informed people in the city, such as what tribe brought what goods, what tribe brought what slaves, and so on. In addition, in the future, when we become stronger, the Yue Kingdom will send people to crusade against us, and grain and grass will definitely be transported here. At that time, they were bribed, can't this be prepared in advance? Yang Zilu said with a smile.

When Yang Tugou heard this, he suddenly realized, nodded and said, "It's still the chief who is wise!" ”

Yang Zilu shook his head and said, "You! Do things to think more, can bend and stretch as a husband. Don't think about being proud all the time, if you succeed, you can make them kneel down and return what you gave them a hundred times when you made you bow at that time! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zilu couldn't help but think of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, a heroic figure of iron and steel. But in the end, it was in the hands of Liu Bang, who was born a ruffian, isn't this Liu Bang able to bend and stretch? Of course, this is also because there is no talent under him. All the guys don't understand the world, otherwise would they need to come forward to flatter the guy who was hired? Alas! Talent is rare!

Thinking about it, Yang Zilu came to Qi Donglai's shop-Qi's shop. Yang Zilu asked Yang Tugou to take people to wait outside, and he and the black bear walked in.

Coincidentally, the second shopkeeper who is now in charge of the store has a face, which saves Yang Zilu a lot of trouble in finding people. Yang Zilu arched his hand to the second shopkeeper and said, "Second shopkeeper, don't you know where the shopkeeper Qi is?" ”

"Oh! You are! The second shopkeeper stood up, looking at Yang Zilu with some surprise but some familiarity.

"Nine Kuibu is here!" Yang Zilu said with a smile.

"Oh!" The second shopkeeper came to his senses and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Your Excellency, but it was not the right time for Your Excellency to come, before the winter, the big shopkeeper went to Qi to purchase a batch of goods, and casually transported the ivory sold by Your Excellency to Qi Country for sale, and it is estimated that it will not come back until about March." But what do you have to buy, the old man can also do the Lord's! ”

"I want to buy some food! Swap for bacon! Yang Zilu asked.

The second shopkeeper frowned, and said: "It's just winter now, I'm afraid the food will be improved, and I also need to go to Zhuji City to transfer it, take the waterway, and it will take almost three days to go back and forth!" ”

Yang Zilu said: "Actually, we don't need much food, I brought a total of 1,000 catties of bacon this time, I don't know what price the second shopkeeper gave me?" ”

The goat who touched his chin by the second shopkeeper opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency is also an acquaintance, one pound of bacon for three pounds of corn!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, in the autumn, one pound of bacon can be replaced by four pounds of surplus corn, and now it has just passed a winter, although the price has increased, but it is not so! Yang Zilu's face immediately darkened, and he said, "The second shopkeeper is too unkind, right?" In this case, Yang has taken his leave! ”

When the second shopkeeper heard this, his face changed slightly, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes, but when he saw Yang Zilu really walking out of the door, at this time, when he thought of Qi Donglai's words before leaving, a little cold sweat couldn't help but ooze out of his forehead. The second shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment!" ”

Yang Zilu turned around, looked at the second shopkeeper coldly, and asked, "Don't the second shopkeeper know what else is going on?" ”

"I'm sorry about that! One pound of bacon can be exchanged for four pounds of millet! Ha! Ha! The old man almost forgot the price! The second shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

When Yang Zilu heard this, she nodded, smiled and said, "Then it's troublesome for the second shopkeeper!" But isn't there no city with 4,000 catties of grain? ”

"Yes, there is, but it is military rations, and Your Excellency also knows that there is not much land in this area, and you have to feed the people of the whole city, and you must also prepare enough food for the whole city for two years even if it is besieged. Therefore, we can't buy any grain in Juwucheng, so our grain is generally purchased in the hinterland of the Yue country. What else do you have to buy? The second shopkeeper explained.

Yang Zilu knows that he will not sell more goods to this second shopkeeper, and make up for the grain business that he barely made just now from the profits from this, I am afraid that if the second shopkeeper does not say anything, he may have a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
