"Ah …" scribe was startled, his eyes lit up. In front of him was a box of copper coins! He put down his glass and smiled awkwardly. "What do you mean?"

"Master, then who is the East Gate Inn selling right now? As long as you nod your head, this matter will be settled. " Zhang Xiang waved his hands, allowing the servants to leave.

"Fine, I'll sell it to you." Then, he picked up a set of spongy silk s from the table. "This is East Gate Inn's house and land deed, after you pay it, it will be yours." This morning, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang brought the biggest silk silk store owner, Wang Gong, to the Youzhou. From the moment came to the Guangyang County, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang had followed his instructions and went to the Black River Region to invite Wang Gong, and arranged to meet him today.

"Greetings Lord General." Once Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and Wang Gong walked into the hall, they respectfully kowtowed to Yang Lin. This was Wang Gong's first time meeting him, hence he was nervous yet excited to the point that he couldn't even speak.

"Get up." Yang Lin laughed, and pointed to the seats on the side: "Sit and talk."

After they exchanged greetings, Yang Lin clapped his hands and a few of his personal guards came out from the back of the hall. In each of their hands was a plate with three items on it: glass, matches, and books.

"Gentlemen, what are these?" Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand, letting the personal guards place the plates in front of them, allowing them to enjoy it.

The three of them immediately stood up and carefully examined these items. Although they had travelled far and wide and were experienced people, they were still dumbstruck when they saw these goods. Especially when the janissaries were demonstrating matches, they could hardly believe their eyes. Each of them struck a match with their own hands, but their faces were blank.

"Lord General, what are these treasures?" Su Shuang blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

"Hehe …" These are indeed treasures. " Yang Lin walked over and introduced each and every one of them: "This is a wine cup, water cup, and mirror made from glass. This is a match, and this is a book."

The wine cups and cups of this era were mostly made of porcelain and some of them were also made of copper, while the mirrors were mostly bronze. There were no matches at all, and the books were all copied by spongy silk or written in bamboo for a moment.

"Lord General, you really have a lot of treasures." Wang Gong thought that Yang Lin was only there for them to admire, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe …" How much do you think these treasures will be worth? " Yang Lin looked at the three of them, purposely teasing them.

Wang Gong's smile slowly disappeared, he immediately realized that the Lord General definitely lacked money and wanted to sell his and her treasures. It seemed that he was going to bleed, he cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong and solemnly said: "Lord General's treasures are indeed priceless, I'm afraid no one can afford to buy them."

"Oh …" Do you also think that this is a priceless treasure? " Yang Lin laughed, he obviously understood what Wang Gong meant, and picked up a few books. Mr. Wang Gong, these books are all Confucian classics, with a complete set of the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism. How much do you think this set is worth? "

Wang Gong hesitated, it seemed that this Lord General truly wanted him to buy and sell these books. He also picked up a few books and flipped through them. He was quite fond of them since they were indeed good stuff. Since Lord General had opened his mouth, he had to bleed for sure. He gritted his teeth: "Lord General, these books are indeed beautiful, I don't know what kind of thing printed them. If the Lord General really wants to sell it, I will pay one million for each book, and a total of thirteen million to buy this set of books.

"Hehe …" "Then I really am going to make a fortune." Seeing Wang Gong's nervous expression, Yang Lin could not help but laugh, and continue to tease him. "Mr. Wang Gong, how many sets do you want?"

"Ah …" Wang Gong almost fainted as he asked hurriedly: "Are there a lot of them in Lord General?"

"To tell you guys the truth, I have as many of these treasures as you want." Yang Lin nodded his head affirmatively, then said seriously: "Mr. Wang Gong is mistaken, the reason why I called you here today is not to sell these treasures to you, but to sell them to the entire country."

"So that's how it is." Wang Gong laughed in embarrassment, picked up the book and flipped through it for a while, then raised his head and said: "Lord General, if there are enough sets of books, each book will sell for ten thousand gold, and a set of books will sell for one hundred and thirty thousand gold, it's still easy to sell."

There were very few books in this era, and only a very small number of Scholars Clans had a few scrolls and bamboo books, which often became the heirloom of these great clans. This kind of printed and exquisite paper, as long as one side of the city, will certainly become a hot spot.

"Not only are there enough of these books, but I also have other books, but for the time being I'm only selling this one. Mr. Wang Gong, I will sell the book to you at the price of 1000 each, and the entire set will at 13,000 each. You will manage it independently and sell it to the entire nation, what do you think? "

"Oh …" Wang Gong was an expert in business, of course he could see the business opportunities involved, especially the exclusive one. This business was guaranteed, and he immediately revealed a smile and said: Thank you, Lord General, for the praise, I will take care of this business.

"Very good!" Yang Lin nodded, he turned and said to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang: "How about the two of you sell the glass and matches?"

"Yes sir!" Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at themselves as Yang Lin's subordinates and immediately agreed.

"There's one thing you need to be careful of, and that is that during the trade, you will either collect food and spongy silk s, or collect gold and silver s and jewels. You absolutely cannot collect copper coins." These copper coins were all cast by the Emperor. When died, he started to forge his own money privately, his currency dropping greatly in value. It was useless to ask for those copper coins.

"But Lord General, to move all those grains to Youzhou, how much would the freight have to be?" After all, Wang Gong was a businessman. He immediately thought of the problem of costs.

"How hard is that? If you guys are near the place, then transport the food and spongy silk back. If you guys are farther away, then transport the gold and silver and the jewels back. " Yang Lin laughed and continued to speak: "As for the way to sell it, I hope that you guys will implement the agency system." Yang Lin had already thought about this a long time ago, he wanted them to carry out a modern sales model: "Each of you is the national general agent for a type of commodity, then you will recruit a state agent for each county, the state agent will recruit a county representative for each county, and the county agent will recruit a county representative for each county, and the county agent will sell the goods to the customers."

According to Yang Lin's method, each county had three types of commodity agents, and if they operated well, they would become local rich. Yang Lin's goal was to train a group of business people to lead the development of industry and commerce, making them into a new bourgeoisie, gradually developing capitalism and the market economy.

Whether it was Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, or Wang Gong, although they had done quite a bit of business, they had all bought them single-handedly, and sold them single-handedly. They simply did not think of how to sell them in the entire nation, and when Yang Lin said this, the three of them could not help but nod their heads. The autumn rain continued to fall as it sprinkled onto the faces of the passersby. Piles of dark gray misty clouds pressed low against the ground. It was late autumn, and the trees in the forest, which stretched as far as the eye could see, were bare. The old tree stood sullenly, letting the brown moss cover its wrinkles. In the merciless autumn, they stripped off their beautiful clothes and stood there, bald.

On the public road leading to Guangyang City, a group of more than 100 people were walking towards the Guangyang City. The mud on the public road was trampled by the horses' hooves until they had no choice but to slow down to avoid splashing mud onto their bodies.

These people were all riding on horses led by Guangyang County's big landlord, Liu Can. Behind him was his hanger-on, Xiao Yue, as well as his sons and their servants. They were about to rush to Guangyang to participate in Guangyang's meeting with the County Magistrate's History. Mr. Xiao Yue, tell me, why did the Lord General set this County Magistrate's History meeting to be held in the fall? "

"I don't know either. He probably wants to make use of this year's harvest to dilute the squire's complaints towards the Guang Yang Tai Shou Jiang Li." Xiao Yue thought about it and replied cautiously.

"Speaking of harvests, the yellow cloth army captive s this year have had quite a harvest. I estimate that they will not be short of food next year." Liu Can helplessly shook his head, and seemed to have some regrets as he said: "That Lord General really has a solution, to force over a million yellow cloth army captive s to grow grain."

"Master is right, I'm afraid the food problem won't be hard for them." Xiao Yue nodded, and continued to speak. "According to the information I obtained, Lord General's food prices began to decline due to the high harvest rate in the various counties."

"I have to admit, this Lord General is very powerful. In the outside world, he had beaten Urushion and fresh inferior into hiding. Since the beginning of the rebellion in the, he had never come here to cause trouble. On the inside, he forcefully split the Scholars and Wealthy Classes into small landlords, but not a single Scholars or Wealthy Classes jumped out to cause trouble, and even the Emperor and the ministers did not say anything. " Liu Can shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"Master, I think it's far more than that. I heard that in Xuan Tu, Yue Lang, East Liaoning Subordinate Country, Shang Gu, Dai County and other places, Lord General not only exterminated the local Hu people and Barbarian, they also took their women and property. Those Han Man and Han Hu mixed blood children were born. I think that in a few years, this Youzhou will probably become the world of Han Hu and Han Man. "

Speaking to this point, Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh. There were already many mixed bloods of Han Hu and Han Man in Youzhou, and these mixed bloods had extremely robust and beautiful appearances. To Han nationality, this kind of mixed blood might be a good thing.

As they walked, they chatted. When they were almost to the Guangyang City, they suddenly saw a group of homeless people, all dressed in tattered clothing, dragging their families and mouths, heading towards the Guangyang City from the south. Liu Can could not help but frown as he said in a bad mood, "This year's nation did not suffer any major calamities, why are there still so many refugees?"

Xiao Yue's eyes swept across the refugees, and he turned to Liu Can and said: "From March to April of this year, Jizhou's Zhang Yan, Northern Region's Guo Tai, and Qingzhou's Guan Hai took the opportunity to attack Youzhou, Liang Zhou's Hu Ren, Barbarian's rebellion, and started to attack the xanthopanax's, white wave army's, and Qingzhou's army, respectively. They attacked the government, robbed the people, and caused the people to not live in peace, fleeing in all directions. But now that they have seen the peace and prosperity of the Youzhou, if they do not escape to the Youzhou, where can they go? "
