Yanagi hooked his fingers at a worn-out captive, who was carried in front of Yanagi by two sergeants.

"This thing." Liu Mu threw aside the extra grass roots as he spoke, leaving only the cluster of fresh grass and fruits, and said, "This thing, a basket of thirty yuan." ”

The captive's eyes glazed and he didn't react.

"He doesn't understand." Feng Ang had been observing, and this would call someone who knew the local language to come over and repeat Liu Mu's words, but that person was still sluggish.

Feng An's subordinates turned around and said, "I guess he doesn't understand what thirty wen yuan means." ”

"Go and fetch linen and silk and grain." Feng Ang commanded.

Soon, the fine linen cloth and other items were taken, and Feng Ang personally stepped forward and put four baskets aside, followed by a linen cloth. Fifteen baskets were laid out, and then a silk horse.

"You, take four baskets of such things, as long as there are no sundries in the baskets, you can exchange this piece of cloth, fifteen baskets of silk."

After Feng Ang finished speaking, the captive nodded violently, grabbed a basket and carried it on his back.

Feng Ang waved his hand, and the thousands of captives, as well as many local civilians who were originally in Jiaozhou, went crazy and ran to the mountains and forests to the west with baskets.

Liu Mu straightened up: "This silk horse was in Chang'an during the New Year, and it couldn't even be exchanged for two hundred old money." ”

"Really? I'm worth fifteen baskets of that fruit here. Feng Ang smiled at Liu Mu, and then pointed at those who were running wildly, which meant that this price had already driven them crazy, so the price was fair.

Liu Mu looked at it from a distance for a while: "Brother, the matter of pricing in the future will belong to you, and I will let us make a lot less money with this big screat." ”

Feng Ang grabbed a cluster and asked Liu Mu: "Can this thing make money?" ”

"Dried and shipped to Chang'an, I estimate that one or two can be sold for three to five cents."

Hearing Liu Mu say this, Feng Ang ordered someone to fill a basket with grass fruits, and then felt the weight, almost forty or fifty catties, and I don't know how much it has been dried without drying, but I feel that the profit is at least ten times more than ten.

"Come on, make a wooden bucket according to the size of this basket. Since the price is set, then give them a fair, and fairness will last for a long time. "Feng Ang can become a hegemon, and he is definitely not an ordinary character, he knows very well what money should be carded, and what money should be loosened.

Jiaozhou City belongs to the tropics, and you can dry grass and fruits by flattening a few pieces of land here.

Feng Ang's fair harvest of grass and fruits, the locals are very grateful, and it is all on-site settlement, which is definitely not a penny for anyone. After the two sides, the grass and fruits on the edge of the city were emptied.

Something else was discovered.

For example, Dendrobium, Fat Sea, Nutmeg, etc., Feng Ang sent people to set prices one by one, as long as the locals went into the mountains and forests to pick them, they could get money in the city.

On the fourth day, someone brought back a packet of yellow and shiny resin.

This resin smells very good.

"Come, reward him with a silk." Feng Ang's favorite thing is this kind of thing, he doesn't know if Caoguo can really make money, but this thing definitely can, even if he doesn't know it.

Liu Mu also hurriedly sent someone to find the spice master in the palace from Ha Long Bay.

Back and forth, four days later, Dugu Lanruo came to Jiaozhou City.

"I used to hear you say that we fled to Jiaozhi, and many officials were scared to death when they heard that they were mated to Jiaozhi, but here is picturesque and the folk customs are simple." As soon as Dugu Lan arrived, she praised a lot.

"I've heard that there are rare spices, so I'll take a look at them too." Dugu Lanruo said the reason why she came here in person.

The last time Feng Ang saw the ceremony, he wanted Dugu Lanruo to be a princess with a title. Dugu Lanruo replied: "Brother is too polite, you and my husband are brothers, and that is also my brother." ”

"Princess Gaoyi." Feng Ang was very comfortable with Dugu Lanruo's answer.

There were already a lot of spices in a house, and they were found in the mountains in the past four days.

The four spice masters stepped forward and immediately found a piece of balsam: "This is Xiaolong incense, but it doesn't seem to be as good as Lin Yi's tribute to the former Sui, but it won't be too bad for us to refine it again." ”

"A few peace of mind, the king of Linyi was killed, and the new king seems to have changed the name of the country, although it is a little chaotic at the moment, but in less than a year, we will be able to find the best Xiaolongxiang in that place." Feng Ang said confidently.

A spicer picked up the piece of balsam, and it was the same bag that Feng Ang had rewarded with a piece of silk.

"I've seen this incense, and Persian merchants sell it in small quantities to Chang'an. But I don't know the name, this incense is also a good fragrance, I didn't expect to meet it here. ”

The spicer said in detail what he knew.

Yanagi didn't understand this, and didn't interject.

There are as many as seven kinds of scented resins and dozens of species of grass, all of which are known to the locals to have a scent.

"Guogong, we need to try to squeeze essential oils, these grasses and branches can only know their value when they become essential oils. And then there's these resins, if you might cut down one or two whole trees and come back, maybe in the bark, maybe in the trunk of the tree have a higher value spice. The spice master said to Feng Ang very respectfully.

Feng Ang waved his hand to the people around him: "If you hear it, go and do it." ”

"Order."

It was not suitable for the spice workshop to be built in Jiaozhou, so it was moved to the port, which was the location of Haiphong City in the later generations.

There are four spice masters, and there are many merchants in Guangzhou who also have excellent spice craftsmen in their hands, and there are also many talented people among the six major clans.

With a lot of money and a lot of manpower, a new workshop was erected in a few days.

Liu Mu and Feng Ang moved south, and moved to Changzhou with the main army, and several local tribes in Changzhou all surrendered, and then took their people and began to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, spices, and other materials.

Liumu set up a banquet to entertain the patriarchs of the two largest clans in Changzhou.

One surnamed Li and the other surnamed Wu.

Li was a local, and Wu was also a big family who fled here from the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty to intermarry with the locals.

"I'll give you a mission to get your people close to Aizhou, and then go to the mountains west of Aizhou to collect herbs and spices. If you can lure the civilians of Aizhou into the mountains with your people, I will be the master to ask you for a title from the Tang Dynasty. If the soldiers of Aizhou can also go to collect medicine and then come here to ship it, Aizhou will add two deputy city lords. ”

Liu Mu was tempting the two patriarchs.

There was a glint in the eyes of the two of them, they were more than heartbeat, and they couldn't refuse this temptation.

Feng Ang sat next to him and added: "Things are done well, each family will reward one hundred sets of stainless steel armor, do you understand?" ”

"Understand, even if a few people are killed in Aizhou City, as long as we can get things done for you, we are not afraid of anything."

Feng Ang nodded: "Very good, then let's do it." ”

The two of them didn't move a bite of the food on the table, and trotted away after giving the salute.
