Water transportation is what Yunyao has to do at the moment, but water transportation is not something she can do with wishful thinking, and it must be coordinated by upstream and downstream.

Anyway, let's go and see it first, Yun Yao called the magic dance to fly and went to investigate. The expedition is not rowing, it is too much of a waste of time.

Downstream forests are more abundant, rivers are wider, and water flows more slowly. However, if you swim against the current, it will take a long time. The upper stream is more urgent, but if it is downstream, it is much easier, the problem is that the upper forests are basically sealed out by Zhou Tianzi. It is necessary to negotiate with the local nobles and make a sale. I wonder if they are willing to build roads, build ports, export timber.

The place with the most forests downstream is the area of the Dongyi people, and there are many Dongyi people living in it. However, the area of their tribe is very small, and Yunyao can cut down trees on the periphery of their tribe, and no one will take care of it, but it is also a problem of infrastructure.

So in the end, Yun Yao still chose the upstream, after all, everyone is a Zhou person, and it is easier to communicate.

So after passing through the Xue country, he came to a new map, and Yun Yao really didn't know which country it was.

"Let's go down here." Yun Yao found the way and decided to walk along the road.

The dark clouds of the magic dance operation fell, and the two walked forward along the road, and sure enough, there was also a grass house. Yun Yao prepared the festival and approached the grass house to inquire about the news.

As soon as she arrived at the fence, she saw a long-haired woman rubbing hemp rope with her head down, very attentive and very fast, only listening to the swishing sound of hemp in her palm.

"Excuse me." Yun Yao asked.

The woman raised her head, her dark face was beading with sweat, and she was stunned when she saw that it was two fairy-like women. After a long time, he said, "Noble, but do you want to rest?" ”

Stopping what she was doing and putting aside the unfinished twine, the woman in her twenties got up and opened the fence door.

"Yes, have a meal." Yun Yao handed the festival to the other party.

Or is it a foreign festival, are these two women going to get married? Obviously, women rarely go out these days, and if they really go far away, then nine times out of ten they will get married.

But it doesn't look like it, there is no convoy, no dowry.

Suddenly, the woman was a little nervous, because she was worried that the two people in front of her would be goblins. But she didn't dare to show it, and hurried to do her own thing, only hoping that they would leave early after eating.

Obviously, Yun Yao's unusual way of traveling is easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

"Excuse me, which country is this?" Yun Yao asked through the door.

"It's Guo Guo." There was a sound coming out of the door, and then there was the movement of cooking rice and lighting a fire.

Already in Guoguo? It's really quite far, Yun Yao asked again: "Whose fief is on the bank of the Zhu River?" ”

"Over there is the fief of the Viscount of the Cao family." The woman returned, and by this time there was a fire inside.

There are only two thatched huts in the cottage, and there are not many utensils, so it can be seen that life is tight. And there is no village in front of the village, and there is no store in the back, and it is quite scary to live.

"You're going to live alone?"

"I live with my husband, but my husband and children went on a field hunt." Although the woman is not very old, the children can participate in the field hunting.

"I don't know where the Cao family is? I want to pay a visit. Yun Yao asked.

"Just follow the road to the west." The woman listened to Yun Yao's questions, and she didn't look like a goblin, and the goblin didn't need to know these things, so she asked, "I don't know where the nobles came from?" ”

"I'm from the country of Lu." Yun Yao said: "I also live on the north bank of the Zhu River, and this time I came to Guo Guo to buy timber and transport it to my own mining through the Zhu River. ”

"Is the nobleman a nobleman?" When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but be curious, because the titles were inherited by men, and she had never heard of female nobles.

"I'm just a little baron." Yun Yao said.

The woman was relieved when she heard this, since she was a nobleman, she would definitely not covet the bottles and cans in the grass house, and she didn't have to worry about it.

"I didn't expect the noble man to be a baron, it's my rudeness." Get out the door and salute.

"You're welcome." Yun Yao said: "I see that this forest is very dense, has it been divided? ”

"These forests still belong to Guo Jun, although they are close to the Cao family, but the Cao family can't be the master." The woman said.

Yun Yao thought to herself that it would be troublesome, to buy a tree to find the monarch, and to build a port to find the Cao family, which increased the cost of trade. But it can't be helped, we have to talk about it.

From a business point of view, the early Western Zhou Dynasty was definitely not the most suitable period for business, because the power structure of various places was intertwined, and the transaction of large quantities of goods required a lot of communication costs.

Yun Yao thought to herself, on what terms would she use to make a deal with the country and the viscount? Grain must not be sold, so let it be woven with a jacquard machine, as well as medicinal herbs. Find a commodity that Guo Guo needs and exchange it for the wood you need. Suddenly, Yun Yao thought that not only did he need wood, but also the mining around the Zhu family, and he could buy and sell to make a difference.

"By the way, why do I have to pay for it myself? You can raise funds, ask if there is a demand for timber in the surrounding provinces, if there is, give the money first, I will buy the goods, and then collect a transportation fee. Yun Yao thought to herself that she was really not suitable for being a businessman, she was too honest, and the method of raising funds didn't come out immediately, she was too stupid and naïve.

The terrain around the Zhu family is similar, and there is a lack of wood, but with the development of the quarry, wood is definitely a necessary consumable. Wood is indispensable for building houses, building production tools, and even building cars and ships. Then they will definitely want to buy cheap and high-quality wood, as long as they have the supply, they will definitely have to pay for themselves.

Therefore, Yun Yao doesn't have to rush to pay for it at all, after all, the assets of his own mining are not rich. But if several fiefs are assembled, the terms of negotiation are sufficient.

Let's try it first, if Guo Guo and the Cao family have this idea, then they will return to China to contact their neighbors and discuss this timber industry together.

"Nobleman, the rice is ready." It's still the familiar little rice, without any side dishes.

Yun Yao's heart has been decided, and she eats it happily. made the owner of the grass house wonder if his cooking skills have improved, or if the other party is in a hurry too hard, so the ordinary small rice has become delicious.

"Thanks for the hospitality, then I'll go first."

"Noble, go all the way."

Yun Yao walked out of the fence and embarked on a difficult journey to open up business routes, she didn't know that at this time, Guo Ji's rebellion was happening in Guo Guo, the domestic situation was very unstable, and several major forces were really ready to fight.

For Guo Jun's sister Guo Ji, colleagues turned against each other, killed each other, the country was not peaceful, and the people were indignant.

When he came to the capital of Guo Guo, Yun Yao found that the city was in a depression, and after asking someone, he learned that the nobles of Guo Guo were fighting for the monarch's sister. The Chinese people in the national capital were also forced to stand in line, so the Chinese people did not dare to go out, for fear of being involved in this nonsensical farce.

Yun Yao suddenly remembered the story of 'Xia Ji's Eighth Marriage' hundreds of years later, it was because of a beauty 'Xia Ji' that destroyed the Three Kingdoms and many scholar families. 111
