When Yang Zilu returned to Juwucheng, Lingpin welcomed Yang Zilu into the city with a flattering look on her face. Yang Zilu nodded to Lingpin and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Now I am appointing the doctor as the priest of Juwucheng, and the rank is the chief doctor."

When Lingpin heard this, she was overjoyed and knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you, Lord!"

"This is what you deserve, come! Let's have a car with me!" Yang Zilu thought for a while, waved to Lingpin and said.

Lingpin was immediately excited. It was a great honor to ride in the same car as the monarch in that dynasty. He immediately had the idea of ​​serving Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu didn't have so many ideas. He just wanted to ask Lingpin some questions about Gumi Country. After a few polite words, Yang Zilu asked: "Does Ling know about Gumi Country?"

"Gumi Country? Oh! That is a vassal state of Yue. The king has no title. The border is located in the south of Gumi, the westernmost city of Yue. Therefore, it is also known as Nan Gumi. 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 Ding people, all of which can be regarded as a lord of war. Among the barbarians, they are also considered to be overlords. The master asked if there is anything wrong with this?" Ling Pin looked at Yang Zilu in surprise and asked.

"Oh! I thought Gumi's priest rebelled!" Yang Zilu touched her chin and said.

Ling Pin was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized that the relationship was that Gumi Country learned that Han State had defeated Yue State, and believed that Gumi Country was not much worse than Han State, and she also wanted to take advantage of Yue State. However, Yang Zilu misunderstood that this "Gumi" was not the same Gumi. Although both of them were called Gumi City, one was Gumi City and the other was Gumi Country.

Lingpin thought for a while and suggested to Yang Zilu: "Master, should we send troops to help Gumi?"

Yang Zilu touched her chin and said, "I'm afraid I can't help. It's morally unreasonable to help Gumi Country, and I'm afraid I'll get the name of "not believing" among the princes. This is obviously not worth the loss! However, people can be sent to open up trade routes with Gumi Country and sell some weapons to Gumi Country, which can also make Goujian feel more uncomfortable!"

Lingpin added: "Master, I believe that Master can send additional heavy troops to Juwucheng as if they are sending troops at any time. They can restrain Goujian's many troops!"

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

"Oh? I wonder what the Lord came up with?" Ling Pin said in confusion.

"You will find out soon!" Yang Zilu smiled and refused to answer.

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

…………

After the Chen Alliance came to an end, Yang Zilu transported the straw paper and yellow sugar made in this winter to Yue, Wu, Qi and other places for sale. The straw paper was beyond everyone's expectations. Especially the straw paper in Qi, Lu and other places was even more amazing. Although the cost of a piece of straw paper is not bad, it is not cheap. It costs about every fifty straw paper a foot square of a coin.

The price is even more expensive when shipped to Qilu. The tariffs from Yueguo alone have increased the cost of straw paper by 40 pieces of straw paper per coin, which is also because the tariffs are halved.

When transported to Qi, the cost has reached the price of fifteen pieces of straw paper per coin. Logically speaking, the profit is not much, so the best way is to make small profits and sell them too fast. However, Yu Miao, who is responsible for selling straw paper in Qi, did not do this. Instead, he raised the price to ten pieces of straw paper per coin of Qi, which is an amazing price. A Qi sword coin is equivalent to the weight of three Yue sword coins, and of course, it cannot be exchanged for three coins when exchanged.

However, Qi is a big country with abundant material resources and is naturally relatively cheap in price. The purchasing power of sword coins is very strong. So to a certain extent, a sword coins from Qi are more valuable than the three sword coins from Yue. At this price, the profit is turned a few times, and after excluding costs, the profit reaches 350%.

However, the facts prove that Yu Miao has a very good vision. Although the price of straw paper is slightly more expensive than bamboo slips. But don’t forget that straw paper is much lighter than bamboo slips. Yu Miao’s vision guarantees the profit of straw paper, and the straw paper brought by Yu Miao was even sold out in less than ten days.

Especially the king of Qi, who was originally spoiled and older, he took bamboo slips weighing several kilograms of money every day to review it. This is really not a torment. After the king of Qi, he even bought 1.5 million pieces of straw paper in one breath.

Originally, under such a great situation, the price should be raised higher to make the most profit. However, these merchants were composed of apprentices Yang Zilu wanted from Qi Donglai and clever people from Shanyue people, and were trained by Yang Zilu. Although Yang Zilu's trade knowledge was simple, this was compared with later generations, and in this era, it was at least a thousand years ago.

Yu Miao naturally accepted Yang Zilu's teachings. He did not faint, but followed Yang Zilu's teachings and guidance. The price was stipulated at the price of ten pieces of straw paper and a knife coin. Even if he bought too much, he would also get the favor of many scholars.

In this era, this is already very amazing. It should be noted that although the status of merchants is not very low at this time, it is definitely not high, especially some large merchants can even be called cross-street rats.

In fact, the reason why big merchants are regarded as rats crossing the street is mainly caused by the general environment. The transportation in this era was not good, and the number of levels was bought is high, which led to high transportation costs, but also the cost. If grain, ordinary cloth, it is difficult to make a lot of money. Therefore, most of them are mainly selling luxury goods, but once there is a famine and war in a certain place, these big merchants will appear in this place immediately, hoarding grain and weapons, and then earn a lot of money. This is also because of this that the merchants have a very bad reputation among the people, even with scholars and officials. Therefore, this good reputation was unexpected by Yang Zilu and Yu Miao, and it also gave Yu Miao a lot of benefits.

Having a good reputation, when the temple bought slaves, the literati and officials in Qi were very proud of their face. The price of slaves was basically about 1,200 sword coins. It was equivalent to 3,600 spoil coins to buy one slave. The price was only 12,000 straw paper! Yu Miao bought 500 slaves in Qi and hired fifty disciples.
