"Qihua and Lingyue? Why are they hiding from them? They are both from girls. Do you have a grudge?" Caiyi became more and more confused as she heard it, and could only guess.
Feng Chen thought about it, then nodded and said, "It's true that there is a grudge... the hatred for taking off your wife... it's not right... the husband... it's not right... forget it, this matter has been long and it's not convenient here. I'll go to your room to explain in detail later."
"Oh." Caiyi felt that she might as well not ask after asking, but now she was left with only one head.
Feng Chen was also happy. Although he did not have the courage and ambition to go further, he was happy as long as he could sit with Caiyi more. Moreover, after chatting this afternoon, he gradually discovered that many of Caiyi's advantages were very similar to Wang Ge, as gentle, as kind, as simple and straightforward.
The next morning.
Zhao Cheng, who had been waiting for three days in the backyard, finally saw his master again and was overjoyed.
Xue Kui also seemed to have become a different person, but she looked at Yan Bing silently, neither saying much nor saying much, and there was a natural smile on her face. This abnormality made Yan Bing unable to help but sneak a glance at her, curious about what big move the other party was holding back. It was not until the sword dance ended for two hours that Xue Kui silently closed the door again, and Yan Bing returned to the front yard in confusion.
Little did she know that her uneasiness proved that she had gradually become conscious of the other party's words.
Xue Kui's move to retreat and advance has already shown some results.
Yan Bing returned to the room and put away Qingxuan, then changed into a simple and elegant colorful skirt, came to the main hall, and called a few guards to set up each elegant seat in the main hall, waiting for the empty seat.
When it was three o'clock in the morning, wealthy businessmen began to come to the door with their visits one after another.
Yan Bing deliberately called Master Zou to the main hall to block the politeness for himself.
In this era, merchants should be the lowest-level existence, at least in official order.
But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was just an empty arsenal.
Rich businessmen can not only wear all the silks and satin except for the yellow, but also the food, clothing, housing and transportation are extremely luxurious, and many gentry are even less free and easy than them.
Bing naturally enjoyed this. If it weren't for dealing with foreign invasions and enemies of the sect, she would rather be a rich businessman, live a life of luxury every day, than have to consider court disputes and money every day.
While Zheng Sicuo, Master Zou, who was standing beside him, had already approached and whispered to her, "There are all people."
Yan Bing glanced at the people in the hall, then smiled slightly, raised his hand and picked up the teacup, took a sip and said loudly: "I'm sorry for your hard work. This trip from the capital, my country's Duke doesn't like the twists and turns, so he made it open and honest..."
Yan Bing deliberately paused in the middle, but no one stood up and politely stood up, and no one flattered. He just sat upright and looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of expectations.
Yan Bing smiled.
Don’t be afraid of the team being un united, but you’re afraid of cheating in the team!
They are all smart people! Then I can rest assured!!
"The Duke of Japan will definitely let you all, no! No! This! Okay!" After Yan Bing said that, he waved his hand to the guard at the door.
After the two guards bowed and saluted, they worked together to lift a huge scroll placed at the entrance of the main hall into the hall and slowly unfolded...
"This is...Daliang's county map!?"
Everyone looked at the huge scroll on the ground and whispered.
As the scroll unfolded, Yanbing also spoke slowly: "Not only Daliang... Goryeo, Japan, India, Annan, Siam, Varo, and the surrounding vassal states are also in this picture!"
"What does this mean..."
"If you can't guess, don't talk nonsense! Listen to Duke Ding!"
"Yes! Quiet!"
There is no need for Yan Bing to say too much, and the people below will consciously organize the order.
Yan Bing smiled and continued: "The products this time include: soapcorns! Glass! Mirrors! Grasspaper! Resale rights, and... the brewing process of liquor..."
"Liuli!!??Duke Ding just said about Liuli!??? You heard right??"
"Mirror...what is a mirror? What is the difference between it and a bronze mirror? Who knows it, can you explain it?"
"White wine? It should be a beautiful bar that was popular in the capital a few days ago. I am determined to win the Moon Tower! Everyone, please give me some convenience!"
"Don't argue with you..." Yan Bing opened his mouth, and the bottom became quiet again. She waved her hand again, and the two guards nodded and came out. After a while, a group of guards walked out of the backyard. Each of them held an object in their hands, placed one by one on the map in the hall, and then retreated aside.
"This!!! This glass bottle is so clear!! It's so much better than the Western Regions Cavaliers brought in!???"
"This thing! Could it be a mirror!??"
"It's all treasures! You can be rich in one's hands!"
Without the rich talking below, Yan Bing sat on the main seat and savored the tea without saying a word.
After all, all the people here are old foxes who have been in business for many years and have experienced many years. The goods are just placed in front of them.
The value, potential and profit margins are all in just a short moment, and they have already made up their minds, so why should they say too much?
Saying one more thing is to harm your own value!
Until everyone had watched enough and almost fell to the ground, Yan Bing put down the tea bowl and slowly spoke, "Master Zou, let's talk to them about the rules."
Zou Ruohai bowed out, walked slowly forward, took off his shoes and stepped onto the picture, marked with his fingers and pens, and explained in detail to everyone.
This time, counties across the country are classified as third-class.
First-class counties, including Gyeonggi and several wealthy counties in the south of the Yangtze River, each counties had a sale right of one million taels.
Second-class counties, including Shu County, Qi County, Long County and other middle-class provinces, each county has a sale right of 600,000 taels.
Third-class counties are those remote provinces that have not yet been fully developed, with the sale rights of each county of 300,000 taels.
There are also corresponding systems for the purchase price and volume of each item.
For example, glass is sold in boxes, and each box has a regular amount of cups, discs, bottles, and bottles, while the purchase price of each box is only fifty taels.
The mirror is estimated by ruler, and the purchase price per party is only ten taels.
Such things leave them enough profit margins and do not draw any other profits, but there is an additional revised clause in the purchase price to prevent the rise in raw materials caused by inflation, and the annual increase and decrease rate is no more than 10%.
As for the brewing process of liquor, it is just a gift for them for free!
But it is said that it is for free, but Yan Bing’s own considerations are actually there.
Because she only wrote about one crop in the raw materials for making wine.
It's "corn"!
Whether it is brewing or making koji, she only wrote about the processes and techniques of making corn wine.
She did this to accelerate the popularization of corn, a high-yield crop, in the Central Plains, in order to cope with the explosive population growth in the future!
Grain storage in prosperous times!
Prepare crossbows in troubled times!
This is one of the essence of wisdom that the Chinese people have only summarized after countless disasters and thousands of years of precipitation!
How could the incense be cut off from her?
But truth depends on truth, reality depends on reality. If you want to make these businessmen who are tempted by money, you must focus on the word "interest" to be the right way.
After Zou Ruohai finished his explanation, the wealthy businessmen here were stunned.
Because they have never seen a business like this!
It's business, it's just paying money!!
If any of these objects fall into their hands, they will probably try their best to squeeze all the profits inside into their pockets before they can feel at ease. But this Duke Dingguo is completely different from them. It is simply a terrible stream. They can only be unbelievable except for their incomprehension.
Until one person walked out slowly and bowed and said, "Can Duke Ding give a document?"
All the talents all recovered from God and paid high respects to this person.
Although in this power society, the words of businessmen and officials are equivalent to an empty piece of paper, it is better than not, at least to feel at ease.
Otherwise, what else can it be? Can you leave the meat in your mouth if you don’t eat it yourself and leave it to others for food?
Those who are brave enough to die! Those who are timid enough to starve to death!
If they had no courage, they would not have achieved what they are today!
But all of these were expected by Yan Bing.
After all, how many people would believe that the pie can be lost in the sky?
Soon, the manuscripts were handed over to the merchants by the guards.
Everyone held the paper to make an appointment, looking at each other in a daze, laughing and crying.
Everyone has prepared it for us in advance!!
But these old fried dough sticks quickly saw the clues from these papers...
"Show me yours..."
"Give me yours!"
"This... this is not copied! This is printed! But it is not an ordinary method! Look at the gap between these words! There is obviously a difference..."
"More than just! Look at these two words! They are all wrong!"
"No! My words are also wrong!"
"Because this is movable type printing..." Yan Bing took a sip of the tea bowl and waited until everyone calmed down again before he said: "In advance, carve the characters into words with wood prunes, arrange the characters in order, and then use an iron frame to hang them. In this way, the wooden seal can be reused, and the source of the flow is clear..."
After Yan Bing finished speaking, it took a long time to stop everyone from silent...
until……
"Hiss-Click-"
"Take it—"
"Click—hiss—"
Since one person took the lead, the tearing sounds in the hall continued...
If the winemaking technique just now is not sincere with the current movable type printing technique, then there is no integrity in the world...
Since the other party treats it with sincerity, what's the use of keeping the paper roll in his hand?
Do you bring shame to yourself?
