Seeing that everything was negotiated, the representatives of the four families also said goodbye like Lin Wenqing, preparing to return to Qi to resume their lives, after all, it was already December at this time, and it was the New Year soon, and everyone wanted to rush home to celebrate the New Year.

Of course, businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and this trip to Daijun can't be in vain, and you always have to bring something back. At present, Daijun has nearly 50,000 sheets of paper in stock, and the first batch of four books has been printed in 200 copies each, in addition to a large amount of fur. Therefore, there are not many goods that can be offered.

As a result, the four of them were dazzled and wanted to buy everything, but the four of them didn't come out to do business this time, so they didn't bring too much gold, the most was only 100 Eridium gold, and the less was less than 50 Eridium, and they had spent a lot so far, and the rest couldn't buy much.

At this time, Lin Wenqing proposed a proposal to them, this time the gold brought by the people was used to buy furs and other things, and Daijun first gave each person 5,000 pieces of paper and 120 books on credit, and asked them to take them back to Qi to sell, and when the caravans of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Qi, they would give the money for buying paper books to the caravans of Daijun.

When the representatives of the four families heard this, they were also very happy, because they were looking for such a good thing, so they all agreed immediately, and there was not too much entanglement in the price, basically as much as Lin Wenqing said. At the same time, the representatives of the four families also admired Lin Wenqing's courage in doing things, you must know that the total value of these paper books is about 500 eridium gold, and Lin Wenqing can give it all out on credit at once, this courage is not something ordinary people can do. Of course, everyone wants to be able to cooperate with such business partners.

In fact, Lin Wenqing dared to do this, not only because he was bold, but also because these four families were all business families that had existed for more than a hundred years and had a good reputation. Although both Confucianism and Legalism say that businessmen value righteousness over profit, and regard businessmen as untouchables. But in fact, the vast majority of businessmen are quite trustworthy, because the spirit of contract is the basis of any commercial behavior, whether it is the East or the West, no matter in that era, it is impossible for merchants who do not talk about Chengxin but play tricks and abduction, it is impossible to survive for a long time, unless it is a monopoly operation of the government. And the big businessmen who have been in business for many years and are still rich and enemy countries are often honest.

Second, it is also because paper books are now unique to Daijun, and there is no semicolon, which is equivalent to a monopoly operation, so Lin Wenqing is not afraid of the four being lazy, unless these four only want to do this single business. In addition, this is also to leave a good impression on the heads of the four families, proving to them that Daijun now has enough production capacity to supply the goods needed in the market. At the same time, it is also to use the power of these four families to open the market of paper and books in Qi State, so that when the county sends a caravan to Qi Country in the Ming Dynasty and supplies a large number of paper and books, it will be able to quickly occupy the market of Qi State.

Seeing that the representatives of the four families had no objections, Lin Wenqing also immediately signed a contract with the representatives of the four families.

Commercial contracts in this era were called coupons. Generally, coupons are made of bamboo slips, and the long coupons are called quality, and the short coupons are called agents. In the trade, the buyer and seller will bear their respective obligations and responsibilities, the price, method and time of the transaction, the penalty for breach of contract and other contents are engraved on the bamboo slips, and fall on each other's names, and then the bamboo slips are divided into two, the buyer holds the right half, the seller holds the left half, once the two sides have a dispute, it is to use this coupon as the main basis for judging who is right and wrong.

And this time Lin Wenqing requested, this time not only signed this kind of coupon with the representatives of the four families, but also signed a new contract with the newly made paper, the content of which is the same as the coupon, but not dissected, but in duplicate, and each side keeps one copy. The representatives of the four families did not object, and it was very novel, so they signed two contracts with Lin Wenqing, and thus it became the first commercial contract made of paper in the history of China.

After signing the contract, the representatives of the four families took the purchased furs and the paper and books on credit, bid farewell to Lin Wenqing, and returned to Qi with satisfaction.

―――――――― the dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― "Elder Qi, Yun Yao has gone too far, and actually kicked us out, what can we do now?" ”

Yun Juan frowned and said, "Elder Lie, what you said is not right, A-Yao just let us move out of her mansion, or did she let us live in the pavilion and didn't kick us out." ”

Feng Qi also nodded and said, "Yes, the mansion is a private mansion after all, and Yun Yao is just a concubine on the plateau, so it is really not suitable for us to live in the mansion for a long time, in fact, I think the conditions in this mansion are better than those in the mansion." ”

Feng Lie snorted and said, "You don't have to talk about this, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how good the conditions of the pavilion are, Yun Yao let us move out of the mansion, which means that she is not of the same mind as us." ”

Feng Qi and Yun Juan were also silent when they heard this, and lived in the mansion on the plateau for three days, and the people of the Bailing clan were asked by Yun Yao to move out of the mansion and live in the pavilion, although the reason given by Yun Yao was that it was inconvenient to live in the mansion, and the conditions of the pavilion were indeed better than the mansion, not only the space for activities in the realm was much larger than in the Wa mansion on the plateau, but also the entry and exit were more free, and there were many fewer restrictions. Therefore, the other people of the White Spirit Clan didn't know what they meant, on the contrary, they thought it was very good, but Feng Qi, Feng Lie, and Yun Juan knew in their hearts that this was Yun Yao's attitude of expressing his dissatisfaction with them.

Therefore, Yun Juan said: "There is no way, Elder Lie, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for talking too much the day before yesterday, if it were me, I wouldn't be happy." ”

Feng Lie was furious and said, "Are you blaming me? Don't intermarry with foreigners, this is a thousand-year-old rule handed down by the ancestors of the Bailing clan, am I wrong? Yun Yao was originally a member of our White Spirit Clan, so of course he should respect this rule. ”

Yun Juan said: "It's true that Ah Yao is from the Bailing clan, but after all, she is a person who grew up outside, not in the clan." ”

Feng Lie said: "No matter where she grew up, as long as she is a member of the White Spirit Clan, then she must abide by the rules of the White Spirit Clan." ”

Yun Juan said disdainfully: "What's the use of you saying this, can the Bai Ling Clan control her?" She has made it clear now that she will not respect the rules of the White Spirit Clan, what can you do with her? Can she be punished with clan rules? In fact, A-Yao is a very kind daughter-in-law, if we beg her with kind words, after a long time, we will definitely be able to impress her. The night before, I warned you that you should never mention the rules of the Bailing clan not intermarrying with foreigners in front of her, but you just didn't listen, and now it's like this, how can we talk about her in the future? ”

Feng Lie couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and angry, and said, "It's all my fault for saying this, isn't it wrong for me to maintain the ancestral rules of the White Spirit Clan?" But you still have to take care of your niece first. ”

Yun Juan said: "Now it's about Ah Yao, what are you doing by pulling Xiao Na in?" ”

Feng Lie said: "Didn't you see me?" In the past few days, she has always been with that kid surnamed Ling, what is this? She's not someone who grew up outside, so she doesn't know the rules of the clan. ”

Yun Juan couldn't help but get angry, and said: "What do you mean by this, my niece and I know it in my heart, Xiao Na just said a few more words to others, is she not abiding by the rules?" The clan rules say that you are not allowed to talk to foreigners, so shouldn't we be polite to others when we live and eat others now? ”

Feng Lie said: "Is it just talking?" I can't see it, but don't talk about it, forget the clan rules, and when she runs away with the kid surnamed Ling, it will be too late, but don't forget that it was just because of ......" Seeing that the two of them were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, and seeing that they were about to quarrel, Feng Qi hurriedly came to play a round and said: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, you all say less, let's see what to do next?" How can we get Yun Yao to return to the White Spirit Clan, isn't it just to find her when we come out this time? Don't get down to business. ”

Feng Lie said: "Is it hard to say if the person predicted by the Great Wishing Master is really her?" I don't think it's necessarily her. ”

Yun Juan snorted and said: "Why is it not her, not only is the age right, but she is also a Zhushi who is proficient in healing and beast training, and I look at these two abilities, she is far more than the six Zhushi in our clan, only the Great Zhushi can compare with her, such a person has not appeared in our clan for a long time, if the person predicted by the Great Zhushi is not her, then who will it be?" ”

Feng Lie couldn't find a rebuttal, so he had to mutter, "If it's really her, then how can she ignore the safety of the Bai Ling clan?" ”

Feng Qi said: "It's useless to say anything else, there is no other way now, we can only return to the Bailing clan first, and report the matter here to the Great Zhushi, and the matter of Qiqi will be decided by the Great Zhushi." ”

Feng Lie and Yun Juan also nodded, this is indeed the only way.

Feng Qi said again: "But we can't all go back, we still have to leave a few people here to watch Yun Yao, Elder Juan, your relationship with Yun Yao is not bad, just stay here." ”

Feng Lie said: "It's okay for Elder Juan to stay, but Xiao Na must not stay, she must go back with us." ”

Yun Juan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. In fact, Yun Na and Ling Feng are very close, Yun Juan's heart is very clear, but now that she is under the fence, she naturally can't stop it, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to let Yun Na return to the White Spirit Clan to prevent future troubles. Therefore, Yun Juan also nodded and said, "Okay, let Xiao Na go back." ”

Feng Qi was relieved to see that the two had reached an agreement, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and say goodbye to Wu Anjun in a few days." ”
