Become a feudal king from today

"Be careful, glass can break easily. Read"

Yanjun Pier.

Yang He stood on the deck of a merchant ship and directed the boatmen to move wooden boxes.

What was in the wooden box was none other than the royal palace merchandise that King Yan asked him to go south this time and needed to display.

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

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

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

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

Because the northern end of the canal is in Pingjun.

Now you only need to go eastward from Yanjun along the Haihe River to Pingjun Pier, and then go south along the canal.

In the past, the Yuan family controlled Pingjun, so it was naturally difficult for the palace's goods to reach Jinling directly from Pingjun Wharf.

Merchants can only take a detour to Yuzhou and take many extra miles.

Now, after the Yanzhou Rebellion, Pingjun Wharf has gradually returned to its former prosperity, with merchants from the north and the south having constant exchanges.

All the goods are on board.

Yang He ordered the merchant ships to set off. Riding on the water waves, the merchant ships sailed slowly on the river more than 100 meters wide.

After half a day, we arrived in Qizhou, on the second day we arrived in Yuzhou, and on the third day the river turned into Qizhou again.

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

The merchant ship flying the flag of Yanzhou Trading Company appeared at Jinling Pier and immediately attracted the attention of many merchants.

For them, the most worry-free thing to sell in Jinling City right now is Yanzhou's goods.

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

"This is Jinling. It's really prosperous." The merchant ship docked and Yang He got off the ship.

In his eyes, Jinling Pier is crowded with people and there are people carrying goods everywhere.

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

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

There are more than a dozen tea shops at a glance.

But even though there are a lot of people, these shops are always packed.

There is no harm without contrast.

Yang He recalled the most prosperous Fanyang Wharf in Yanzhou.

It pales in comparison to here.

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

Someone from the trading firm had already gone to the city to inform Dong An.

Within a moment of burning incense, Dong An came over.

"Yang He!"

Seeing Yang He sitting in the tea shop having tea, Dong An shouted.

"Dong An!" Yang He didn't care about eating tea, stood up and took a few steps to Dong An, and the two hugged each other tightly.

The two had a close friendship when they were in Yan County.

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

"Hahaha..." Dong An laughed, "Why did you come here this time?"

The two separated, and Yang He smiled and whispered a few words to Dong An.

"Exhibition, new goods..." Dong An's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness attaches great importance to this exhibition, so he asked me to come in person." Yang He finally said.

Dong An nodded.

Now the heated discussion about Wangfu's wine and perfume in Jinling City has gradually subsided.

After all, everyone is familiar with something, has seen it, and tasted it, so naturally they gradually accepted it and it became a recognized popular product in Jinling City.

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

About 120,000 jars are sold every month.

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

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

The reason why Yanjun sold so little was because the goods from the palace were shipped to Jinling at that time.

The merchants in Jiangnan all got their goods directly from the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce in Jinling.

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

In total, the palace's monthly income from wine and perfume can reach nearly 3.8 million taels.

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

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

So when Yang He said there were new products, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Chatting all the way, the two entered Jinling.

Looking at the painted boats passing by in the Jinling River and listening to the graceful singing coming from them, Yang He saw that Dong An was walking slowly and panting, so he joked: "Look, look, I have only been in Jinling for a few days. You My legs are weak because I am fascinated by that vixen.”

"You...it's really a dog's mouth that cannot spit out ivory. 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.

Yang He's temperament has not changed at all, and he still speaks out.

Yang He laughed and didn't care. He liked fighting Dong An the most, and seeing him angry again.

Arriving at the trading house after arguing, Yang He said: "The first thing His Highness told you to do is to send these things to the palace."

When it came to business, Dong An looked serious.

Familiarity comes with familiarity, but now the relationship between the two is that of superior and subordinate.

He had to listen to Yang He on this matter.

He called the steward, and he called a few people to carry the box and let him enter the palace.

This person is a servant of the palace, and he has been responsible for the reception and delivery of people in the palace.

Guan Zhong received the order and carried the box to the palace gate.

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

Things are different now. Ever since Tong San secretly hid King Yan's gift, he was punished.

Even Liang Cheng did not dare to accept the gift from King Yan in advance.

Things from Yan County must be delivered directly to the emperor.

"Come and see what King Yan has sent you?" Zhao Heng played with his concubines in the imperial garden.

Seeing the eunuchs arriving carrying things, he waved repeatedly.

The sensation caused by the artillery still lingers in the capital.

Zhao Heng intuitively felt that the powerful people were more submissive to him.

Thinking that every time King Yan sent something, he would never be disappointed.

He was naturally full of expectations.

The concubines rushed over immediately after hearing this.

Queen Xie held Concubine Mi affectionately, while the other concubines stood beside or behind them.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two wooden boxes.

Liang Cheng gave the two eunuchs a look at this time.

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 startled, and then stood up from the chair.

Liang Cheng also had a look of shock on his face and his mind went blank.

"What is this, so beautiful?"

In the end, it was Queen Xie who broke the dead silence. She couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look.

Zhao Heng came to his senses and came to the box as well.

"Could it be crystal?" Liang Cheng wondered.

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

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

Because in Dasong, only King Yan’s wine has such a strong taste.

"It can't be crystal. Crystal doesn't look like this." Zhao Heng directly denied it.

The bottles in the box looked almost identical, which made it even more impossible.

"Call the people from King Yan." Zhao Heng said. He wanted to know what such an amazing thing was.

It’s just that the concubines couldn’t wait any longer, and they gathered around him one by one and said coquettishly to him, “Your Majesty, don’t worry about what it is, I like it very much, so I’ll treat you to one.”

"Your Majesty, I also want it."

"And I."

"..."

The concubines moved forward more and more, and in the end one even couldn't help but go to the box to get it.

Queen Xie showed displeasure at this time and scolded: "Don't even grab it!"
