ps: Chapter 2 will be updated in the afternoon

Zigong was in Taoqiu for a whole year, and managed the extravagant business well, but he did not pull down in other aspects. (Baidu search network is the fastest and most stable update)..↖, Cao Guochaotang, shops, whether it is underworld or white, official or private, he is very familiar with. On weekdays, I managed properly, and I personally accompany guests when they came to the extravagant place, so they forged a lot of good relationships.

Cao Guo Da Sicheng is one of them, and Tang Guo's son Ke, Zheng Guo's chief Jia Xian Shi, Yu Shi and others are also among them.

This time in Taoqiu Market, there are three main merchants, namely "Zhen Porcelain", which has just emerged, "Xincheng Porcelain", which is in the ascendant, and "Paper", a writing material that Cao Ren has never seen before.

When two kinds of porcelain, "Zhen Porcelain" and "Xincheng Porcelain" were placed together, everyone couldn't help but smile. Except for celadon, which is not very different, they have the same origin, but different styles of porcelain have been derived due to different firing soils, different glaze formulas, and different conscious tendencies of the host.

Zhenyi's black porcelain is supervised by Lu Taoweng, mixed with Zhao Wuxi's tendency, so it is somewhat graceful and thick. Comparable to lacquerware. In addition to the traditional round Dinggui pot, there are also bowls, plates, plates, beans, lamps, etc., which are suitable for public use in solemn public rooms or official offices.

The new white porcelain brought by Bo Mi and Zhao's caravan from Xinjiang is more popular than the black porcelain. The shapes designed by Ji Ying in his spare time are more suitable for the feminine taste and the curious thinking of businessmen. They win by their shape, they are novel and beautiful, they are clothed with streamlined patterns such as mysterious patterns and water ripples, and they are also decorated with brown dots on some porcelains. The shape is in addition to the traditional utensils. There are also sheep statues, maids holding lamps, dancing figurines, etc., and even white porcelain paperweights used in conjunction with fresh product paper.

That white porcelain paperweight. Its sophistication and delicacy even attracted Zhao Wushi, its color is like suet. The surface is smooth, but the quality is heavier. Its shape is anthropomorphic, like a lady with red sleeves and a drooping head. No shirt seems to see the shadow of her sister Ji Ying on her, so he rudely withdrew from the store and kept it for his own use, and said:

"Bring some of these white porcelain back to Zhenyi, and let the craftsmen such as Gongshuike and Lu Taowen take a good look. Although Zhen porcelain has formed its own style, this new porcelain is also worth learning."

Compared with black porcelain, "Xincheng Porcelain" is more suitable as a luxurious decoration, placed in private places to play, especially popular with women. The two kinds of porcelain are the inside and outside of each other, attracting different customers, and they are sold out in one morning. So far, porcelain, as the most popular luxury, has always been in short supply.

But the promotion of paper is more difficult. This time, Zhao Wushi asked Zigong to sell three kinds of paper with different prices. The inferior hemp paper is used for toileting, the paper is used for public transportation, and the mulberry paper is used in the official office of the public palace.

However, until sunset, there were still very few people who came to buy paper with ceramics. Mostly because of the relationship with Zigong, I bought a small amount and went back to try a fresh one.

"The process of replacing old things with new things is indeed a long and tortuous process. It seems to be the same as in the state of Lu, using events similar to the Great Rites. Make paper acceptable to scholars and the people of the country."

Lie on the couch without a shirt, with Bo Mi rubbing her shoulders. Basking in the warm autumn sun, he squinted slightly to think about this question.

Now the copper purchase channel in Wu State has been taken over by Qu Wuji. Next, in addition to the physical exchange, some money and silk must be obtained for large-scale trade, so the situation in Taoqiu must be opened.

So he got up from the couch, and after walking around the living room twice, before he could come up with an idea, Zigong asked Xing Ao to report that there was a whole plan to make paper popular in Taoqiu.

"Oh, I figured it out so quickly, come and listen."

Xing Ao let Zhao Wuxi take the lead and asked him to follow Qu Wuji to Wu State. Although Bo Mi was reluctant, he also acquiesced to this result. After a year of training in Taoqiu, Xing Ao, who was very sensible and eager to learn, has also become more reliable. The gentleman sent him to Wu State, naturally there are more important things. What's more, Xing Ao, following his uncle Qu Wuji, might be able to inherit a territory and let the Xing family re-list as a doctor...

A few years ago, their brothers and sisters were still dependent on each other in the straw pile, and they only wanted a full meal and a piece of kudzu to keep out the cold.

Xing Ao said: "Duanmuzi said, isn't the arena selling tickets and lottery tickets? In the past, small pieces of wood were used. From now on, we can use public transport paper instead. As for the box tickets sold exclusively to scholars, the best ones are required. Mulberry paper!"

Wu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard the idea.

"Shan, let's do it like this. We will be returning to Lu State in a few days, and Zigong is still in charge of this. Ao, you and your elder sister will also return to the town with me. There are still several months before we go south to Wu State. The two of them can get along well.”

In addition, one of the reasons for the difficulty of promotion is that hemp paper has many disadvantages, and there are no shirts and do not want to sell mulberry paper too cheap. Therefore, in Linqiu, bamboo paper with moderate quality and price needs to work harder and get it out as soon as possible.

Now the production channels and sales channels are basically solved, just need to wait for time to have an effect, and the remaining problem is transportation.

In the transportation of bulk goods, land is not as good as water, not to mention that the land has to pass through the Punan land of Wei. In the case of Wei's attitude, it is not safe after all.

As for the waterway, from Xibi to the south to Taoqiu, Dayezawa and Jishui are both the must pass places. Therefore, for Zhao Wuxi, Robber Zhi has lost the need to keep pirates, but instead has become a thorn in the back, and he will be stabbed at some point.

As long as Qu Wuji promises to be good at boat-building and water fighters to arrive, he will speed up the construction of boat divisions, tighten the siege on the west bank of the lake and Jersey, and completely wipe out the robbers. If the group of thieves around Onozawa can be turned into Qimin, the population of Zhao Wuxi's territory can be increased by at least two-thirds, breaking the 100,000 mark!

At the same time, Zhao Wuxi also received information sent by Zhang Mengtan, saying that a major event had occurred in the northern border of Lu Kingdom!

...

The vassals and officials in Taoqiu gathered together, and Wu Xie announced the news to them: "The Meng clan has recovered Guancheng, and the traitor Yang Hu has fled to Qi..."

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, but since the beginning of summer. Zhao Wuxi has been waiting for this news.

Yang Hu's escape was just a piece of idle chess played by Zhao Wuxi last year. But Meng Shi was worried.

Because Meng's main city, Yu, was only a day's journey away from Yanghu's separatist regime, the sound of **** and bells was heard. Zhao Wuxi can develop with peace of mind behind closed doors. Ji's Fei Yi can be considered solved, but beside Meng's couch, there is still a man-devouring tiger sleeping!

The Yanghu remnants became a big worry for the Meng clan, so for more than half a year, the chief minister of Yuyi, Lianyang, did not have the heart to fight with Ji clan and Zhao Wuxi, and he has been trying every means to conquer Guancheng.

If Yanghu is entrenched in the dangerous Yangguan, it would not be difficult to guard it for a year and a half, but Zhao Wuxi had asked Ran Qiu and knew that the villain in Guancheng was short of food. Definitely won't last long.

Gong Lianyang was considered one of the most skilled soldiers in the state of Lu from Yanghu.

What followed was a months-long siege in an attempt to drain the city of food. This is a more common method of besieging a fortified city in the Spring and Autumn Period. After all, the siege technology and equipment are limited and the price of a storm is too high. Until the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, Gongshuban and Mozi, two great masters, fought each other. One offense and one defense have advanced this technology to a very high level.

In the middle of June, Guancheng finally ran out of food and arrows, as Zhao Wuxi and Ran Qiu had expected, so Gong Lianyang drove the Meng clan soldiers to attack. The two sides tug-of-war for another half a month. By the end of June, Yang Hu was defeated, so he sent people to burn the South Gate. Pretending to break through to the north, but suddenly turned east. His soldiers take their lives. This time, there was no chasing after Zhao Wuxi's invincible light knight. So Yanghu managed to escape from the Lu army and went to the border town of Qi to ask for asylum.

When Zhao Wuxi heard about this in Taoqiu, it was already early July, and he couldn't help but sigh at Yanghu's boldness.

In order to hold the military power tightly and at the same time to please the state of Jin, Yang Hu looked for an opportunity to murder Ji Sun, Shusun, and the three ministers of the Meng family, but he sent troops to attack the state of Qi. Almost every year without fighting, he has attacked the city and looted the land several times. For this reason, everyone from the monarch to the people of Qi hated him.

After being unable to stay in the State of Lu, Yang Hu's choice to defect to the State of Qi was a helpless move and a risky decision.

You must know that although Qi always likes to intervene in the civil strife in Lu, but he wants to maintain his image as a big country, he will always support the party that conforms to the etiquette. That was the case in the Qingfu Rebellion and the expulsion of Duke Zhao of Lu. Yang Hu's predecessor, Fei Yi Zai Nan Kuai, who betrayed Ji Pingzi, was also scolded by Qi Hou Chu Jiu as a "traitor husband" after he was defeated and defected to the state of Qi. He "was a vassal and wanted to open his office, which is a great crime", which was extremely unwelcome.

Therefore, Yang Hu, a guy who "holds the life of the country by his accomplices" and who has committed more serious crimes, may have to face what thousands of people refer to, as well as hemp rope and prison. Of course, this person is extremely talented. Now that Yan Zi is dead, without this wise man, Yang Hu may also persuade the monarchs and ministers of Qi, and be honored as the honored guest by the prince of Qi who wants to seek hegemony in Lu.

Wu Xie let the retainers say what they thought, and Kan Zhi thought about it: "Yanghu enters Qi, if Qi Hou accepts it, then Lu Qi will become an inextricable enemy, which is a good thing for us."

Although Kan Zhi is from the State of Lu, he is now a private minister, and the interests of the public family of the State of Lu have nothing to do with him. He only knows that as long as Wu Xie wants to return to Jin, he must stand. On the opposite side of Qi.

Wu Xie waved the letter paper and said: "But Zhang Zi, who guards Sanyi, has a different opinion. He said that if Qi Hou tied Yang Hu and returned it to Lu this time, this would also be an opportunity for Qi Lu to reconcile."

It was Zhang Meng who thought more deeply. After hearing the words, Kan Zhi thought for a while, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "If this is the case, then things will be bad!"

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Of course."

If Qi Lu asks for peace, and even if it turns into war on Yubo ~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Wuxi's forces will not be tolerated between Qi, Lu, and Wei, and they will face a difficult situation.

Why don't you understand this without a shirt? There are always pros and cons to any choice. Last year, he faced Sanhuan and Yanghu to win over both sides, and finally chose to defeat Yanghu, gaining the advantage of doubling his power, being based in the West, and gaining fame among the lords, officials and officials of the world.

But the downside is that Sanhuan, who is weak to the outside world, will come back on stage. From then on, Lu's attitude towards Jin and Qi will become unclear. Yanghu ran to Qi, and the initiative was in the hands of the state of Qi. This Marquis of Qi was indecisive and erratic in temperament. I really didn't know how he would make a choice.

Fortunately, Zhao Wuxi, as a middle-level doctor and a junior minister, already has the strength and status to interfere with the national policy of Lu! Although he can't control Qi's choice, he can at least manipulate Lu's response!

Zhao Wuxi said to all the officials and courtiers: "It seems that no matter what, Lu and Qi are about to change, and it is time for us to return to the city!" (To be continued..)
