Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 237

[Chapter 237 Don’t Rob]

“Be careful everyone, the glass is easy to break.”

Yan County Wharf.

Yang He stood on the deck of a merchant ship directing the crew to move the wooden boxes.

There is nothing else in the wooden box, but this time King Yan asked him to go south, and the palace merchants need to be exhibited.

King Yan is in charge of the entire four northern counties, and it is much more convenient to go south from Yanzhou to Jinling than before.

Because in a period called the Wu Dynasty, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty set off a huge project in order to strengthen his control over the north.

This project is to dig a river from Jinling City to connect Yanzhou.

Since then, this artificial river has become an important transportation line between the south and the north.

The northern end of the Yin Canal is in Ping County.

Now you only need to go east along the Haihe River from Yanjun to reach Pingjun Wharf, and then go south along the canal.

In the past, the Yuan family controlled Pingjun, so it was naturally difficult for the goods of the Wangfu to reach Jinling directly from the pier in Pingjun.

Merchants can only take a detour to Yuzhou and take a lot of roads.

Now, after the Yanzhou Rebellion, the Pingjun Wharf has gradually restored its former prosperity, and merchants from the north and the south have continued to communicate.

All cargo is on board.

Yang He ordered the merchant ship to set off, riding the water waves, the merchant ship walked slowly on the river channel with a width of more than 100 meters.

It arrived in Qizhou half a day later, arrived in Yuzhou on the second day, and turned into Qizhou again on the third day.

Then they left Qizhou and drove for half a day in Fengzhou in the southwest, and finally entered Ningzhou, all the way south to Jinling, which took seven days.

The merchant ship with the flag of Yanzhou Commercial Bank appeared at Jinling Wharf and immediately attracted the attention of many merchants.

For them, the most worrying thing to sell in Jinling City at the moment is Yanzhou’s goods.

So when they saw the Yanzhou merchant ship, they were like seeing a silver boat floating on the water.

“This is Jinling, it really is prosperous.” The merchant ship docked, and Yang He disembarked.

In his eyes, the Jinling Wharf is full of people, and there are laborers carrying goods everywhere.

Merchants dressed in luxurious silk walked shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder.

On both sides of the road, there are shops selling food one after another.

It’s just that there are more than a dozen tea shops at a glance.

But even with the large number, there are still no empty seats in these shops.

There is no harm without comparison.

Yang He recalled the most prosperous Fanyang Wharf in Yanzhou.

It really pales in comparison to this place.

Although there are many merchants coming and going there, there are not even one-tenth of them here.

A guy from the firm had already gone to the city to inform Dong An.

In the time of a stick of incense, Dong An came over.

“Yang He!”

Dong An shouted when he saw Yang He sitting in the tea shop drinking tea.

“Dong An!” Yang He didn’t care about drinking tea, he stood up and came to Dong An, and the two hugged each other tightly.

When they were in Yan County before, the two had a deep friendship.

Now that we haven’t seen each other for several months, it’s natural to be excited to see old friends again.

“Hahaha…” Dong An laughed loudly, “Why did you come here this time?” The

two separated, and Yang He whispered a few words to Dong An with a smile.

“Exhibition, new products…” Dong An’s eyes became brighter when he heard this.

“Your Highness attaches great importance to this exhibition, so I came here in person.” Yang He finally said.

Dong An nodded.

Now the heated discussion in Jinling City about the fine wines and perfumes of the Palace has gradually subsided.

After all, everyone is familiar with the same thing, has seen it, tasted it, and naturally gradually accepts it, and it has become a recognized popular product in Jinling City.

Therefore, after the initial sales volume skyrocketed, the goods sold by the Yanzhou Commercial Bank in Jinling are basically stable.

About 120,000 altars can be sold every month.

And because perfume can be used for more than a month, the sales volume is only about 30,000 bottles per month.

This is only sold by the Chamber of Commerce in Jinling. There are still 60,000 altars of royal wine sold from Yan County every month, and about 20,000 bottles of perfume.

The reason why Yan County sold so little was because the goods from the Wangfu were shipped to Jinling.

Merchants in the south of the Yangtze River directly get their goods from the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce in Jinling.

And this is also the meaning of the existence of Jinling Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the monthly income of the palace’s fine wines and perfumes can reach nearly 3.8 million taels.

Of course, this is just sales revenue, excluding costs, transportation, manpower, etc., a net profit of two million taels would be good.

If you want to continue to expand your income, you have to come up with new products that are flocking to.

So when Yang He said there were new products, he couldn’t help being excited.

Chatting all the way, the two entered Jinling.

Watching the boats passing by on the Jinling River and listening to the graceful singing, Yang He saw Dong An walking slowly and panting, and joked: “Look, look, you’ve only been in Jinling for a few days, you This leg is weak, because I was fascinated by that vixen.”

“You…you really can’t spit ivory out of a dog’s mouth, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of His Highness, I will tear your mouth apart when I return to Yan County .” Dong An scolded.

This Yang He’s temperament has not changed at all, he is still outspoken.

Yang He laughed and didn’t care, he likes fighting Dong An the most, and seeing him angry.

Arriving at the firm after arguing, Yang He said, “The first thing to do is send these things into the palace, Your Highness.” When

it came to business, Dong An’s expression became serious.

Familiarity returns to familiarity, but now the two are in a superior-subordinate relationship.

He had to listen to Yang He on this matter.

He called Guan Zhong, and he called several people to carry the box and let him enter the palace.

This kind of person is a servant of the royal family, who has been in charge of the reception and delivery in the palace before.

Guan Zhong was ordered to carry the box to the gate of the palace.

After the announcement, several young eunuchs came out, rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver, and carried the things away.

Now it is different from the past, since Tong San secretly hid King Yan’s gift and was punished.

Even Liang Cheng didn’t dare to accept King Yan’s gift in advance.

The things from Yanjun should be sent directly to the emperor.

“Let’s all come and see what King Yan sent again?” In the imperial garden, Zhao Heng played around with the concubines.

Seeing the eunuchs arriving carrying things, he waved again and again.

The sensation caused by the artillery has not yet dissipated in the capital.

Zhao Heng intuitively felt that the power clan had obeyed him a little bit.

Thinking that King Yan would never disappoint him every time he sent something.

He was naturally looking forward to it.

The concubines rushed over immediately upon hearing the words.

Empress Xie pulled Concubine Mi affectionately, and other concubines stood beside or behind them.

All eyes were on the two wooden boxes.

Liang Cheng then gave the two eunuchs a look.

The eunuch immediately opened the lid of the wooden box.

When the contents of the first box were displayed in front of everyone, Zhao Heng was taken aback, and then stood up directly from the chair.

Liang Cheng’s face was also full of shock, and his mind was blank.

“What is this, so beautiful?” In the

end, it was Empress Xie who broke the dead silence, and she couldn’t help but stepped forward to take a closer look.

Zhao Heng came back to his senses and also came to the box.

“Could it be crystal?” Liang Cheng wondered.

The bottle is crystal clear, and the liquid in the bottle is also crystal clear. The combination is so perfect.

From the smell that wafted out, everyone guessed that it contained wine.

Because in Dasong, only King Yan’s wine tastes so strong.

“It can’t be crystal, crystal is not like this.” Zhao Heng directly denied it.

It’s even more unlikely that the bottles in the case look almost identical.

“Call the people of King Yan.” Zhao Heng said, he really wanted to know what such an astonishing thing was.

It’s just that the concubines couldn’t wait any longer, and one by one crowded over and acted like a baby to him, “Your majesty, don’t worry about what it is, I like it very much, why don’t you reward me with one.”

“Your majesty, I want it too.”

” And me.”

“…” The

concubines moved forward more and more, and in the end, some concubines couldn’t resist going to the box to get it.

Empress Xie showed displeasure at this moment, and reprimanded: “Don’t grab it!”
