Chapter 226 Chaos

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Water transportation is what Yunyao wants to do now, but water transportation is not something she can achieve by wishful thinking. It requires cooperation between upstream and downstream. If the upstream and downstream infrastructure is not matching, even if there are timber resources, it will not be transported to the river.  It cannot be loaded or unloaded even when it is transported to the river.

    Anyway, let¡¯s go take a look first. Yunyao called Mowu Feifei and went to investigate.  There is no need to row a boat during the inspection, it would be a waste of time.

    The forest resources downstream are more abundant, the river is wider, and the water flow is slower.  However, going upstream will take a long time.  The water upstream is relatively fast, but it is much easier if you go downstream. The problem is that the forests upstream were basically entrusted by Emperor Zhou.  Negotiate with the local nobles and conduct business.  I wonder if they are willing to build roads, build ports, and export timber.

    The area with the most forests downstream is the Dongyi area, and many Dongyi people live in it.  However, the area of ??their tribe is very small. Yunyao can cut down trees outside their tribe and no one will care about it. However, there is also an issue of infrastructure.

    So in the end Yunyao chose upstream. After all, everyone is from Zhou Dynasty, so communication is easier.

    So after passing Xue State, we came to a new map. Yunyao really didn¡¯t know which country it was.

    "Let's go down from here." Yunyao found the road and decided to walk along it.

    Mo Wu controlled the dark clouds to fall, and the two of them walked forward along the road. As expected, there was a thatched cottage.  Yunyao prepared the festival and approached the thatched cottage to inquire about the news.

    As soon as I arrived at the fence, I saw a long-haired woman rubbing the hemp rope with her head down, very focused and very fast, and she could only hear the hemp swishing in her palm.

    "Excuse me." Yunyao asked.

    The woman raised her head, with beads of sweat on her dark face. She was stunned when she saw two women who looked like gods.  After a long time, he said: "My lord, do you want to rest?"

    Stopping what she was doing and putting aside the unfinished hemp rope, the woman in her twenties got up and opened the fence door.

    "Yes, let's have a meal." Yunyao handed the knot to the other party.

    It¡¯s still a foreign festival. Are these two women going to get married?  Obviously, women rarely travel far these days. If they do go far away, it will most likely be to marry someone.

    But it doesn¡¯t look like it, there is no motorcade and no dowry.

    Suddenly the woman became a little nervous because she was worried that the two people in front of her would be goblins.  But she didn't dare to show it and hurriedly went to do her own things. She just hoped that they would leave early after eating.

    ¡°Obviously Yunyao¡¯s unusual way of traveling can easily arouse others¡¯ suspicion.

    "Excuse me, which country is this?" Yunyao asked through the door.

    "It's Guo Guo." A voice came from the door, and then there was the sound of cooking and lighting a fire.

    Have you arrived in Guo State?  It was really far away. Yunyao asked again: "Whose fiefdom is on the bank of Zhuhe River?"

    "That's the fiefdom of Viscount Cao over there." The woman returned, and there was already a fire inside.

    There are only two thatched houses in the thatched cottage and not many utensils. It can be seen that life is tight.  Moreover, there are no villages or shops here, so it is quite scary to live here.

    "You only live alone?"

    ¡°I live with my husband, but my husband and children went hunting.¡± Although the woman is young, her children can participate in hunting.

    "I wonder where the Cao family's fief is? I want to visit it." Yunyao asked.

    "Just follow the road to the west." The woman listened to Yunyao asking questions, and she didn't look like a goblin. A goblin doesn't need to know these things, so she asked: "I wonder where the noble man comes from?"

    "I'm from the State of Lu." Yunyao said, "I also live on the north bank of the Zhu River. This time I came to the State of Guo to buy wood and transport it to my fief through the Zhu River."

    "Is a nobleman a nobleman?" The woman couldn't help but become curious after hearing this, because the titles were all inherited by men and she had never heard of female nobles.

    "I'm just a little baron." Yunyao said.

    The woman felt relieved after hearing this. Since she was a noble, she would definitely not covet the bottles and jars in the thatched cottage, so she didn¡¯t have to worry about it.

    "I didn't expect that the noble man is actually a baron. I'm rude." He walked out the door and saluted.

    "You're welcome." Yunyao said, "I think this forest is very dense. Has it been divided?"

    "These forests still belong to Mr. Guo. Although they are close to the Cao family, the Cao family cannot be the master." The woman said.

    Yunyao thought to herself that it would be troublesome. To buy trees, you have to go to the monarch, and to build a port, you have to go to the Cao family, which increases trade costs.  But there is no other way, we have to talk.

    From a business perspective, the WestThe early Zhou Dynasty is definitely not the most suitable period for business, because the power structures in various places are intertwined, and the transaction of bulk items requires a lot of communication costs.

    Yunyao thought to herself, what conditions would she use to make a deal with Guo and the Viscount?  The grain must not be sold, so we can use the cloth woven by the jacquard machine, as well as the medicinal materials.  Find a commodity that Guo needs and exchange it for the wood you need.  Suddenly Yunyao thought that not only did she need wood, but the fiefs around the Zhu family also needed wood, and she could buy and sell it to make a profit.

    "By the way, why do I have to pay for it myself? You can raise funds. Ask the surrounding fiefs if there is any demand for wood. If so, just give the money first, and I will purchase the goods and then charge a transportation fee." Yun Yao Xin  I thought that I was really not suitable to be a businessman, I was too honest, and the method of raising funds did not come up immediately, I was too stupid and naive.

    The terrain of the fiefs around the Zhu family is similar, and they all lack wood. However, as the fiefs develop, wood will definitely be a necessary consumable.  Wood is indispensable for building houses, building production tools, and even building cars and ships.  Then they will definitely want to buy cheap and high-quality wood. As long as they have the supply, they will definitely have to pay for it.

    Therefore, Yunyao does not have to rush to pay for it. After all, the assets of her fief are not rich.  But if several fiefs gather together, the conditions for negotiation will be enough.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Guo Guo and the Cao family have this idea, then they will return to the country to contact their neighbors to discuss this big timber business.

    "My lord, the rice is ready." It's still the familiar rice without any side dishes.

    Yunyao was determined and began to enjoy the meal.  It made the owner of the thatched cottage wonder whether his cooking skills had improved or whether the other party was traveling too hard, so the ordinary rice became delicious.

    "Thank you for the hospitality, I will take the first step."

    "My dear, have a smooth journey."

    Yunyao walked out of the fence and embarked on an arduous journey to open up trade routes. She didn't know that the Guoji Rebellion was happening in Guo Guozheng at this time. The domestic situation was very unstable, and several major forces were really preparing to make a fight.

    For the sake of Guo Jun¡¯s sister Guo Ji, colleagues turned against each other, fellow tribesmen killed each other, the country was unrest, and the people of the country were indignant.

    Arriving at the capital of Guoguo, Yunyao found that the city was in a depression. After asking for information, she learned that the nobles of Guo were at war with the king's sister.  The Chinese people in the capital were also forced to take sides, so they were afraid to go out for fear of being involved in this senseless farce.

    Yunyao suddenly remembered the story of ¡®Xia Ji¡¯s Eighth Marriage¡¯ hundreds of years later. It was because of a beautiful woman ¡®Xia Ji¡¯ that the Three Kingdoms and many scholar-bureaucrat families were destroyed.
