Huang Chong's business is to achieve the whole Han world, but the business in Jiangdong and Yizhou is indeed a bit difficult.

After all, all the powerful people in the Han Dynasty knew that Huang Chong was Liu Yu's brother-in-law, and doing business with him was tantamount to sending money to Liu Yu. Regarding the business in Jiangdong and Yizhou, Huang Chong directly thought of two words, that is, smuggling.

Due to the iron cable across the river, the main trade route to and from Koto was cut off. Merchants who want to do business have to start from Changsha, Jingzhou, turn around in a big circle, and take the land route to the core area of Jiangdong. However, due to Sun Ce's defense against the invasion of the Shenwu Imperial Court, he set up a lot of checkpoints in the land passage, and these checkpoints collected taxes on merchants who came and went, which increased the cost of merchants a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiangdong needed some materials from the Central Plains, the price would have been okay, and with such a long distance and cumbersome checkpoints, the merchants would have been reluctant to go to Jiangdong for a long time.

In Yizhou, the situation is even worse.

As early as when Liu Zhang was in charge of Yizhou, the road connecting Hanzhong was blocked, leaving only the road to communicate with Jingzhou. Now Liu Bei is in charge, and the trade route connecting Jingzhou has been blocked due to the army of Zhang Ren and others. It can be said that in addition to its own consumption, Yizhou's products can only be traded with Nanban.

How could the things of the Han people be enjoyed by the barbarians, no matter how unreliable Liu Bei was, he also adhered to this principle.

In this way, if Huang Chong wants to do business with Jiangdong and Yizhou, someone must help. And the majestic Li Gui is the best candidate.

Huang Chong knew a lot about Li Gui, and he also knew that the "dark department" existed. Now it is necessary to sell the books to Yizhou and Jiangdong at the most expensive price, and Huang Chong needs Li Gui's help.

Our Huang Hou Ye is a very powerful businessman, and he understands that if he needs help from others, he has to come up with a sufficient amount of gifts.

No, Huang Chong invited Li Gui to his home and had a good banquet.

Li Gui can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but Huang Chong's banquet gave him a glimpse of the strength of the richest businessman in the world.

Wine is the best wine, although it is not as good as the top wine of the palace, but it has a different flavor. Not much to say about the delicious food.

It can be said that the current Huang Chong has a better life than Liu Yu as the emperor. After all, Liu Yu advocates frugality and doesn't care about his own enjoyment. Huang Chong is different, his money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, he comes from the right way, and he spends it properly.

If it weren't for Liu Yu's feelings, Huang Chong's life would have been even more extravagant.

In short, Huang Chong deliberately stammered Li Gui, and Li Gui was also very useful. This is the first time the two have cooperated, which can be regarded as an errand for Liu Yu, and only by working together can they perfectly complete Liu Yu's will.

Before leaving, Huang Chong also quietly gave a big gift to Li Gui.

Li Gui tacitly took it and left. Seeing Li Gui accept it, Huang Chong was finally relieved.

It's just that what Huang Chong didn't know was that after Li Gui accepted the gift, he sent it to Liu Yu without moving.

As Liu Yu's confidant, Li Gui knows Liu Yu's personality and hates corruption and bribery the most. Huang Chong gave these gifts, which can also be said to be bribes.

Liu Yu saw that Li Gui told Huang Chong's gifts and banquets in one hundred and fifty ten, and he knew in his heart and said, "Since these things were given to you by Uncle Guo, you can accept them." Uncle Guo's personality, I know that he also wants to have a good relationship with you, and you don't have to worry about what he will do in the future. ”

With Liu Yu's words, Li Gui of course accepted it beautifully.

The people under his hands are still courteous, Liu Yu can't stop it, like Li Gui turned it over honestly, Liu Yu is still the first time to see it.

Such a good courtier, Liu Yu naturally wants to be rewarded, it is not enough for Liu Yu to become picky now, just let Li Gui take back the gift given by Huang Chong.

Li Gui was happy on the surface, but in fact, he was scared half to death just now, if he was not blacklisted by Liu Yu, he would not want the position of this henchman in the future. No rare treasure can compare to the position of Liu Yu's henchman.

The small episode that occurred in the middle did not affect the actions of Li Gui and Huang Chong.

Li Gui used the spies of the "dark department" all over the world to start working hard for Huang Chong to smuggle rare books.

Whether in Jiangdong or Yizhou, the "dark department" has its own channels, and the books sold at sky-high prices in Luoyang will soon reach the ground in Yizhou and Jiangdong.

Huang Chong was shocked by Li Gui's ability, there was such a channel, if Li Gui was used for business, he really couldn't compete with him. Huang Chong's own channels alone could not have sent the books to Jiangdong and Yizhou so quickly.

In addition, in order to cause a sensation in Jiangdong and Yizhou, and by the way, to collect the money from Jiangdong, Liu Yu deliberately found several relatively rare books as printed materials, and specially asked Li Gui and Huang Chong to smuggle them over. Liu Yu can believe that several books will be able to cause a sensation in Jiangdong and Yizhou.

Sure enough, when this kind of book appeared in Jiangdong and Yizhou, it caused a huge sensation.

Even though the families in the two places have seen countless treasures, they have really never seen such a good book. With the top-quality silk as the surface, the pages inside are as white as jade, and the font is beautiful, so it is very useful to be able to get such a book and keep it as a family heirloom.

A book was sold at a sky-high price in Jiangdong, and Huang Chong originally thought that the price of the top sky was the same as that of Luoyang, but who knew that due to the number and its rarity, there was only about one, which led to the high price of forty gold per book in Jiangdong.

A book is worth so much money that Huang Chong almost wondered if he had sold it too cheaply before. And Huang Chong actually sold only thirty gold. The extra ten gold is to make the difference in price for the middleman. In order to hide people's eyes, the "dark department" deliberately found some wealthy businessmen in Jiangdong who were willing to cooperate with them.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and when they see such good goods, they naturally want to make money. So they raised the price a little bit, but it didn't stop them from selling.

Sure enough, there is no blackest heart in this world, only a more black-hearted one.

The families in Jiangdong are all scholarly and scholarly, and they all pay attention to poetry and book heirlooms, and it is strange that they don't dig out their hearts to buy such treasures.

The Jiangdong family that has bought it is happy, but it is heartbroken that it has not been bought, and such a treasure has fallen into the hands of others, and it seems that they themselves have lost to others.

People will have contrasts, and the contrast between families is even more serious, and no one wants to lose to anyone. In such an atmosphere, the Shenwu Imperial Court quietly made a fortune.

Not only were the people of the family crazy, but even Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong, was shocked.

Now in front of Sun Ce there is a book [Book of Songs] sold by Huang Chong and them. This book was used by a small family in Jiangdong to curry favor with Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce sent the little family who came to express his filial piety, he found Zhou Yu over.

For books, although Sun Ce is a top general, he has good cultural attainments, and he has read the Book of Poetry before. However, such a thin book made Sun Ce a little shocked.

"Guess what I saw today, Bo Fu?" As soon as Zhou Yu entered the door, Sun Ce asked in a loud voice.

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu was also holding a book in his hand, and he also picked up a book, and said, "Did you say this thing?" ”

"You have ..... Bofu in your hand." Zhou Yu's happy face was gone.

Sun Ce said lightly: "The filial piety sent by the head of the Kang family in Wu County. I thought it was good, so I took it. ”

Zhou Yu sat opposite Sun Ce and said with a smile: "Hello Bo Fu, this kind of book is very precious, and now it is sold for a sky-high price of forty gold." It took a lot of effort for me to get such a copy. ”

"Forty gold? It's so expensive. Sun Ce couldn't imagine that this thin book would cost forty gold.

"Bo Fu, you see, the weight of this kind of book is very low, and the packaging is precious, every page of paper is as white as jade, not to mention whether there is anything in the Han Dynasty, I don't have such a thing in Jiangdong. Scarcity is expensive, so it is natural to sell at such a price. Zhou Yu explained.

Sun Ce opened the book, looked at it a few times, and asked, "Gongjin, do you know how many such books are being sold on the ground in Jiangdong?" If it's forty gold for a book, one hundred is four thousand gold. ”

As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce is very concerned about Jiangdong's money.

Zhou Yu smiled: "I have already investigated this matter. It was bought from far away by a few wealthy merchants from Jiangdong. According to their accounts, the cost alone cost them thirty-five gold. After a long journey, they only bought more than 100 copies. It's really not much. ”

Hearing that there were only more than 100 copies, Sun Ce was relieved. At the same time, Sun Ce also thinks that if there are more such things, they will not be able to sell at such a high price.

"Actually, it's good to have something like this." Sun Ce was also relieved.

Zhou Yu looked at it and asked tentatively: "Bo Fu, you are a person who practices martial arts, and this [Book of Songs] is useless on your side, so give it to me." ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu didn't care about Sun Ce's reaction, he directly took the [Book of Songs] in front of Sun Ce, and then left quickly. Its speed is even more powerful than Sun Ce, a martial arts practitioner.

"Gong Jin, you come back to me and leave the book for me!" Sun Ce reacted and hurriedly caught up with Zhou Yu.

Far away in Yizhou, the situation is almost the same as in Jiangdong. As soon as this kind of book appeared in Yizhou, it caused a great sensation. The only difference is that Li Gui and Huang Chong did not find a local businessman as an intermediary, but found someone on their own side.

The puppet is innocent and guilty, and it would be a huge burden for such a lofty thing to fall into the hands of people who have no strength.

Of course, it is not Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, but the best boss in Chengdu, Cao Bi and Cao Haose, the big bosses, as intermediaries.

Cao Bi doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he likes to do it in the room, but after doing business for a long time, he still has eyesight. He has such a good product, naturally it is a strange commodity to live in, and it is more expensive.

Since he was not a middleman, the difference in price was not earned, and all of it was sent to the hands of the imperial court.

Boss Cao's connections are top in Yizhou, and he has good things to sell, and people come to buy them without much publicity.

Yizhou is the land of abundance, and the family here is very rich, and when they see such a good thing, they naturally buy it without saying a word.

Boss Cao can be a man, so he left a few copies and sent them to Liu Bei, the boss of Yizhou.

Liu Bei was speechless at first when a Qinglou boss came to visit. What kind of person is he Liu Bei, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, after King Jing of Zhongshan, a Qinglou owner, a lowly person, came to him, and Liu Bei felt that his identity had been insulted.

But Boss Cao lacks everything, that is, he is not short of money, and under a burst of gold and silver offensive, the people on Liu Bei's side said good things for Boss Cao.

Liu Bei reluctantly met with him, and the time was limited. Thinking that he Liu Bei is the lord of a state, he is concerned about the major affairs of Yizhou all the time, and there is no time to waste.

Boss Cao sent the books he left behind to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was fascinated by this top-notch external decoration.

Liu Bei usually likes to wear some precious silk, top-notch Shu brocade, and when he saw such a well-packaged book, his eyes were naturally attracted. When Liu Bei opened it, he was stunned and paused for a few seconds.

Cao Bi was very complacent when he saw such a situation.

"Lord State Shepherd, the little one has admired Lord State for a long time, and now he has received these treasures, and he has come to pay respects!" Cao Bi said respectfully.

Liu Bei couldn't put down these books, but he couldn't show them, and said lightly: "Boss Cao has a heart." Benzhou Mu has always rewarded and punished clearly, Boss Cao has meritorious dedication, come to people, reward! ”

Cao Bi hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou Mu, the little one sent these treasures to show his filial piety. How can you ask for the reward of the shepherd! If the shepherd is like this, the little one will leave immediately! ”

Liu Bei didn't believe it, as the so-called Three Treasures Hall was not allowed to do anything, if there was no request, would he send such a good thing to honor Liu Bei?

"Since you are so hearted, the Honshu Pastor reluctantly accepted it. I heard that Haose, you have some industries in Chengdu? Looks like business is doing well. Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei had long been clear about who Cao Bi was, but he didn't directly say that Cao Bi was a Qinglou.

"It's a small honor for a small name to be able to enter the ears of the state shepherd. The little one is fortunate to be able to see the true face of the state pastor today. Cao Bi pretended to wipe his tears.

Liu Bei is very useful for this.

After chatting with Cao Bi about some inconsequential things, Liu Bei sent Cao Bi back, after all, Liu Bei's time was also very tight.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Bi's back and sneered: "You kid is a bit of a brain, I originally wanted to do something to you, I think you are very sensible, so Uncle Huang won't be embarrassed." ”

Liu Bei knew that Cao Bi had sold a lot of rare books, and the average was fifty gold, and Liu Bei expected that Cao Bi would make a lot of money. Now that so many books have been sent, Liu Bei is not easy to do with them.

"Such a small person will play a very important role at a critical moment, and it seems that he needs to be taken for his own use." An idea popped into Liu Bei's mind.
