Yang Zilu returned to Juwucheng, Ayapin welcomed Yang Zilu into the city with a flattering face, Yang Zilu nodded to Ayapin, and said, "Doctor!" Now the widow is a doctor who has no city and a doctor, and his rank is a middle doctor. ”

When Ayaren heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you for the reward!" ”

"You deserve it, come! Let's share a car with the widow! Yang Zilu thought about it and beckoned to Ayapin.

Ayapin was immediately very excited, whether it was that dynasty and the monarch were in the same car, it was a great honor. Deng Shi gave birth to the idea of Yang Zilu's death.

Yang Zilu didn't have so many ideas, he just wanted to ask Aya some questions about Gu Guo. After a few polite words, Yang Zilu asked, "Does Doctor Aya know about Gu Guo?" ”

"Contempt for the country? Oh! It is a vassal state of the Yue country, the lord of the country has no lord, and the border is located in the westernmost city of the Yue country, so it is also called the south of the country. In fact, although it is called a country, it is actually just a semi-barbarian tribe, and there are many Dingkou, it is said that there are 4,000 people who become Ding, all of whom can be brave warriors, and they can be regarded as a hegemon in the barbarians. Is there anything wrong with the Lord asking this? Aya looked at Yang Zilu in some surprise and asked.

"Oh! I thought the contemptuous Yi Zai had rebelled! Yang Zilu touched her chin and said.

When Ayato heard this, she was stunned, and then she understood. The feeling is that when Gu Guo learned the news that Han had defeated Yue Guo, he thought that his Gu Guo was not much worse than Han Guo, and he also wanted to take advantage of Yue Guo. But Yang Zilu misunderstood that this 'contempt' was not his contempt. Although the two are called the same contempt, in fact, one is the city of contempt, and the other is the country of contempt.

Ayato thought for a while, and then proposed to Yang Zilu: "Lord, should we send troops to help the Gu Scorn Country?" ”

Yang Zilu touched his chin and said: "I'm afraid I can't help, I just formed an alliance with the Yue State to help the Gu Guo, it is morally unjustifiable, and I am afraid that I will get the name of 'unbelief' among the princes, which obviously outweighs the loss!" However, you can send people to open up trade routes with the country and sell some weapons to the country of the country, which can also make Gou Jian uncomfortable! ”

Ayato added: "Lord, the minister thinks that the lord can send heavy troops to Juwucheng to make it look like he can send troops at any time. You can contain a lot of troops! ”

Yang Zilu touched his chin and said with a smile: "This plan is good!" But I'm afraid that's not enough! ”

"Oh? I wonder what the Lord has come up with? Ayato wondered.

"You'll find out soon!" Yang Zilu smiled but did not answer.

Although Ayato wanted to ask, she resisted the urge to be curious.

…………

After the end of the Chenzhi Alliance, Yang Zilu transported the straw paper and brown sugar made this winter to Yue, Wu, Qi and other places to sell. The good sales of the straw paper were unexpectedly good. In particular, the straw paper in Qi, Lu and other places is even more smack-hot. Although the cost of a piece of straw paper is not a ghost, it is not cheap, about the price of one coin for every fifty pieces of one-foot square straw paper.

The price of shipping to Qilu is even more expensive, and the tariffs of Vietnam alone have increased the cost of straw paper to the price of forty pieces of straw paper and one Ge coin, which is also because the tariff has been halved.

Transported to the country of Qi, the cost has reached the price of fifteen pieces of straw paper and one Ge coin. It stands to reason that there is not much profit left, and the best way is naturally to make small profits but turn over. However, Yu Miao, who was in charge of selling straw paper in Qi State, did not do this, and instead raised the price to ten pieces of straw paper and one Qi country sword coin, which was a terrible price. A Qi State knife coin is equivalent to the weight of three Yue Guo Ge coins, of course, when you exchange it, you can't exchange it for three Ge coins.

However, Qi is a big country, rich in materials, and naturally the price is relatively cheap, and the purchasing power of knife coins is very strong. So to some extent, one sword coin in Qi is worth more than three Ge coins in Yue. In this way, the profit has been doubled several times, and after deducting the cost, the profit has reached 350 percent.

However, it turns out that Yu Miao's vision is very good, although the price of straw paper is slightly more expensive than bamboo slips. But don't forget that the straw paper is much lighter than the bamboo slips, Yu Miao's vision has guaranteed the profit of the straw paper, and the straw paper brought by Yu Miao was sold in less than ten days.

Especially the monarch of Qi State, who was originally pampered and was already relatively old, held several catties of bamboo slips to review every day, which was really not an ordinary torturous thing. After knowing the benefits of straw paper, the monarch of Qi bought 1.5 million pieces of straw paper in one go.

Originally, in such a good situation, the price should be raised higher in order to make the maximum profit. However, these businessmen are all apprentices that Yang Zilu asked for from Qi Dong, and clever people among the Shanyue people, and then trained by Yang Zilu. Although Yang Zilu's trade knowledge can be called rudimentary. But this is a thousand years ahead of this era, to say the least.

Yu Miao naturally also received Yang Zilu's teachings, he did not lose his mind, but strictly followed Yang Zilu's teachings and instructions, and the price stipulated that he died at the price of ten pieces of straw paper and one knife coin. Even if you buy too much, you will get a quill pen and reduce the price a little, which has won the favor of many scholars.

That's remarkable in this day and age. It must be known that although the status of businessmen at this time is not very low, it is definitely not high, especially some big businessmen can even be called street rats.

In fact, the reason why big businessmen are regarded as street rats is mainly caused by the general environment. The traffic in this era is not good, and the checkpoints are mostly bought by cattle, which leads to high transportation costs, not to mention the cost. If it is grain, ordinary cloth, etc., it is difficult to make a lot of money. Therefore, most of them are mainly selling luxury goods, but once there is some famine and war in a certain place, these big merchants will immediately appear in this place like vultures that smell carrion, and hoard food and weapons on a large scale, and then make a lot of money when the time comes. Because of this, the reputation of the merchant among the people is very bad, even among the scholars. So this good reputation was unexpected by Yang Zilu and Yu Miao, and it also gave Yu Miao a lot of benefits.

has a good reputation, when the temple buys slaves, the scholars and doctors of the Qi country are very face-saving, and the price of slaves is basically about 1,200 sword coins. That's the equivalent of 3,600 coins to buy a slave. And that's the equivalent of 12,000 pieces of straw paper! Rang Yu Miao bought 500 slaves and hired 50 disciples in the Qi Kingdom.
