As soon as they stepped on the flying boat, Mo Lin and Shang Jia dispersed, and Yang Zhao and Director Chen got together and began to study the small notebook that Lu Shen gave her.

This little book is half-new, not old, and it looks like a second-hand product.

But second-hand goods have the benefits of second-hand goods, and this small book has notes left by the previous owner after reading it.

There are not many notes, but some of the more incomprehensible proper nouns or ambiguous provisions will be next to the previous owner's own understanding.

Less is three or two words, more than three or five sentences.

It seems that the dagger she gave is still quite satisfied, otherwise she will give Yang Zhao a new one, then she will have to scratch her head when she faces these terms.

For example, the small book reads: The managers of the island can defend themselves to a limited extent in the face of danger.

The word "limit" is ambiguous for Xiaobai, after all, who knows how big this limit is, whether it can be injured, whether it can kill, or can it only be tied up?

That is, relying on this note, the two of them stumbled over most of this small book.

Originally, Heizhu Island was an overseas enclave of the Great Zhou, and the owner of the island not only had to carry out commercial planting activities, but also had the obligation to assist in the management of the garrison base.

For example, in the event of a major disaster such as a shipwreck in this sea area, the garrison base has the right to take over the management of Heizhu Island.

When the garrison base is understaffed, all the monks on Heizhu Island can be conditionally recruited into the army.

Of course, this is when the situation is more urgent, and Heizhu Island has an obligation to supervise and report on a daily basis.

If there are any robbers in the waters near Heizhu Island, or if there is a bad brawl by monks (regardless of race), Heizhu Island should immediately report it to the garrison base.

As for giving gifts to the army or something, there are also clear regulations in the small book.

For example, the owner of the island can provide the army with necessary supplies such as food and vegetables, and the army can go around their island twice according to the rules.

After studying this one by one, the small book has not been read, and the flying boat has arrived at Heizhu Island.

Then the work of studying the small book increased from two people, Yang Zhao and Director Chen, to seven people.

Of course, the extra people are all beanmen.

They specially found a larger room, and Yang Zhao handed out small notebooks and pencils one by one, and then interpreted and copied them one by one.

With the addition of these bean people, the efficiency of interpretation work has been significantly improved.

After all, General Lu's notes were not interpreted sentence-by-sentence, and she only wrote her own understanding next to the content she felt was important, and the common sense issues that this general thought were also very difficult for Yang Zhao to understand.

But this problem became clear and clear in the eyes of these little bean people who assisted her in managing Heizhu Island.

Which sentence is uncertain in scope and should be treated with caution; Which sentence can be interpreted from different meanings, or which sentence has a trap, etc., not to mention that they are very proficient in these things, it is also quite easy to understand.

As a result, this event changed smoothly from Yang Zhao's lecture to Xiaodou's absolute control.

Yang Zhao and Director Chen only sat quietly and obediently next to them to take notes, and the two of them seemed to be two fools who couldn't understand human speech.

Yang Zhao thought silently in his heart while remembering, he went to school for nearly fifteen or sixteen years from elementary school to university, and he did a lot of reading comprehension.

Now compared with these little bean people, I am really ashamed of the teachings of teachers over the years.

Of course, because of the language problem, there are many problems that Xiaodou people can't get accurate.

Yang Zhao hung these questions on the spot for a fee in the Zhurui Building, so that there would be professional answers.

If this step is not possible, then Heizhu Island must be careful when facing this kind of problem.

This work is complicated and Yang Zhao can't avoid it, and when the whole study is finished, she has a feeling that she doesn't dare to fish and ask for leave after taking a big class for a few days in a row.

It was also at this time that Liu Feng Zhou, the red-ringed sea snake in the sea, handed over the news, saying that a strange flying boat flew straight towards Heizhu Island.

The logo engraved on the flying boat is the Four Seas Trading Company.

When Yang Zhao was still a little confused, Director Chen had already come over.

"Half a month later, it is the day when the Four Seas Commercial Bank comes to deliver grain to our island, and the Four Seas Commercial Bank is contacted by the previous owner, and it usually specializes in supplying food supplies on the island."

Yang Zhao patted her head, she actually forgot about this important matter related to the survival of thousands of people.

When she was in Lijing, a trading house had already taken the initiative to contact her, and Xiaodouren had also asked her about this question, asking her to contact her when she went to Yuntian City.

After all, it is easy to talk at the wine table, and there is not even a decent cook on Heizhu Island.

But because of eye problems, Yang Zhao, who had nightmares again and again, was tired, and she didn't think about this problem.

After returning to the island with the people, she went to the nearby garrison base in full swing, and then began to take big classes again.

And the little bean man on the island, seeing that he pulled several flying boats of food and supplies when he came back, thought that she had solved the matter, and didn't ask any more.

After all, young people of this age are very annoyed by being followed behind, and they keep hearing and telling their faces.

Yang Zhao asked Director Chen to take someone on a flying boat to greet him, and he turned out the account book of the grain in and out that Xiaodouren had packed a few days ago, and temporarily picked up the Buddha's feet.

Xiaodouren was not idle, I don't know where to dig out two sets of tea sets, laboriously wash the inside and out, and boil water for guests.

The tea leaves used for preparation are a kind of shrub leaves that grow on the island of Heizhu, the leaves are dark green and jagged, and the taste is a little bitter when eaten dry, and the soaking in the water will make the water have a sweet taste, but this thing should have the effect of promoting digestion, and the more you drink, the more hungry you are, so adults generally don't drink it.

This is a rare snack for children on the island, and children often organize themselves to pick them on the banks of nearby creeks.

The beans are picked after these children.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing can't entertain guests.

But Yang Zhao didn't have the habit of drinking tea, so he naturally wouldn't buy this thing, and the grade of tea they drank was too low.

Thinking about it, this leaf is a little more reliable, at least it is relatively fresh for outsiders who have not drunk it.

As soon as Yang Zhao finished reading the price of grain in the last three years, a little bean man came to tell her that the flying boat of the Four Seas Mall had landed.

She hurriedly packed up the account books and prepared to welcome the people from the Four Seas Merchant Company.

After a while, a big blue meat ball walked in, accompanied by Director Chen.

This man's fat eyes have narrowed into a line, like a Maitreya Buddha, wearing a blue and blue clothes, and snatched Yang Zhao's eyeballs as soon as he came in.

As for the others who followed behind, it was too inconspicuous compared to this big blue ball of meat, and it was understandable that it was ignored.

Director Chen insisted on acting as an intermediary to introduce both sides, and he couldn't do this job in the past.

"The owner, this is the Fengda shopkeeper of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, who is in charge of a fleet that specializes in walking nearby routes, has excellent ability, and has a great reputation on this route."

"Feng Da is the treasurer, this is the owner of our Black Pearl Island."

The two sides saluted, and the big shopkeeper took the lead in opening his mouth.

"The young talents of the proprietor, at first glance, are people who do great things, contemptible people from all over the world, and are valued by our proprietors, and are in charge of the business of this route, it is really rude to take the liberty to come this time."

"Fengda shopkeeper, you are really polite, I am the new owner of this Heizhu Island, surnamed Yang, a single word Zhao, the name of Fengda shopkeeper has long made me thunder."

Then the two sides sat down, and Yang Zhao pointed to the tea brought by Xiaodouren.

"This is the taste of the herb tea on Heizhu Island, which is not a good thing, and it is not as sweet as authentic tea, but it is also a specialty of Heizhu Island, and it is a bit wild."

The shopkeeper is very face-saving.

"Since it was recommended by Lord Yang, then I want to taste it well."

He took a sip from his teacup and was full of admiration.

"The taste is sweet and refreshing, soft and pure, and it really lives up to the recommendation of Lord Yang."

Seeing that this simple tea was praised so much, Yang Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip again, could it be that this leaf will taste better after soaking for a long time?

As a result, he swallowed a sip of tea and swallowed his throat, and Yang Zhao found that it was still the same taste, and there was no change in the slightest.

It seems that she is really a rough person, and she can't taste the purity and softness of tea at all.

But she couldn't ask these words stupidly, so she could only follow the words of the big shopkeeper and start chatting.

The two sides touted each other back and forth, and after a cup of tea, the shopkeeper began to talk about the food problem.

The fleet of their trading house has stopped on another island today to rest, and it will be half a month before it reaches Heizhu Island.

And their ship was already loaded with grain to be transported to Heizhu Island.

Although an owner on Black Bead Island has already greeted them, because the new owner of Black Pig Island has not sent anyone to contact them.

Their trading firm studied it, and in line with the fact that they would lose some money at most if the grain was loaded on the ship, and the thousands of people on Heizhu Island would be at risk of starvation if the grain was not loaded on the ship, they still loaded the grain into the cabin.

"I wonder if Lord Yang is interested in cooperating with our firm?"

If Yang Zhao was not interested, then their fleet would have to change its course in the future and sell the grain in their hands that was originally going to be transported to Heizhu Island to others at a reduced price.

When talking about business, this treasurer shows a style that is diametrically opposed to his image.

What is particular is that it is clear and clear, and the whole thing is neatly placed in front of Yang Zhao.

He did not cover up the grain trading that the Four Seas Commercial Bank might have to lose money, and he was not afraid that Yang Zhao would catch this point and pull him in order to ask for a lower price.

"I Sihai Commercial Bank takes honesty as the code of conduct, how much money I can earn you in this business will tell you clearly, if you don't believe the Lord of Yang Island, you can inquire on this route to see if what I said is fooling."

Director Chen, who was sitting at the end of the room, nodded to Yang Chao silently.

No matter how stupid Yang Zhao is, he understands the meaning of his words, this method of doing business is clear to sellers and buyers, but it also locks the space for buyers to bargain, and it will be difficult to bargain significantly.

This style of behavior has both advantages and disadvantages for both buyers and sellers, but it is very friendly to new and unfamiliar partners.

And Yang Zhao happens to be the kind of person who can neither bargain nor be an unfamiliar partner.

Moreover, these Four Seas Commercial Bank loaded grain into the hold of the ship at the risk of losing money without getting the letter, which made Yang Zhao admire this behavior.

After all, no one wants to lose money, and capital is profit-seeking.

"For you, I also want to cooperate with the Four Seas Commercial Bank."

After getting the right words, the shopkeeper took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhao, and then began to talk about the price of grain.

He introduced the cost of their purchase, labor cost, ship freight, etc.

The introduction from beginning to end is clear and clear, all the data is from the mouth, there is no stumbling at all, and it is said faster than Yang Zhao can see it, obviously he is familiar with these things.

And the reason why he introduced it in such detail was to give Yang Zhao a reference.

After all, the price of grain is different every year, and Yang Zhao cannot use the account books of previous years to measure the price of grain this year.

This time, they brought nearly 400,000 catties of grain, worth more than 3,500 taels of silver, enough for everyone on the island to eat for more than three months.

There is no abundant supply of oil and sugar on the island, and the workers can eat it.

In addition, there are also those children who are counting the little bean people who also want to eat.

"If this is bought in Dazhou, 400,000 catties of grain will be more than 2,700 taels, but this is at sea, and the price is naturally much more expensive."

The extra money was the freight and the profit that they had to make from the merchants.

Yang Zhao held the small notebook given by the shopkeeper and calculated it in his heart, and found that the silver was about the same.

The price of grain was according to the Qing Dynasty.
