The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, Taixue students are not particularly enthusiastic about doing business.

"You don't understand..." the potter sighed.

"The Marquis of Dongyang vigorously supports business. If we can take advantage of this breeze, we can expect to be rich in the future." Liu Shangdao.

"Money is nothing but possessions outside the body." The potter said unmoved.

"You still don't understand that there is a lack of 'business officials' in Yangzhou today. With our qualifications, it is too difficult to pass the imperial examination. It is better to use business as the capital for promotion." Liu Shangdao.

"This..." The potter hesitated.

"Don't talk about my eldest brother Liu Ji's class, just the newly enrolled Lu Ji and Lu Xun, young talents, are you sure you can beat them?" Liu Shang said.

"Then give it a try." The potter gave in.

"We are brothers with different surnames. We have the same blessings and share the same hardships. No matter how bad it is, I promise you that if you are in debt, I will bear it alone." Liu Shangdao.

"That's too much." The potter said unhappily.

"Brother, I will punish myself with three cups." Liu Shang said.

After talking, they went to a restaurant to discuss what to do.

"Nowadays the states are unstable, and our strength is too small, so the place of trade will be Jiaozhou and Yangzhou." Liu Shangdao.

After thinking about it, the potter agreed.As for what kind of goods to transport, the two of them will be in trouble.

Because there are thousands of products, those that can guarantee to make money are basically dominated by major merchants.

"Of course the best product is salt, but it is under the control of the government..." The potter sighed.

"What about silk?" Liu Shang suggested, "Yangzhou's silk is pretty good."

The pottery merchant couldn't help reminding: "Jiaozhou is different from Yangzhou. The people are poor, and they just went through a war. How can they buy a lot of silk?"

"How about the farm tools?" Liu Shang said again, since it has been damaged, production must be resumed.

"The government has compensation for farm tools." The potter vetoed it.

Liu Shang proposed several more proposals, all of which were rejected, and said helplessly, "Then I have no other choice. Tell me, what should I do?"

In the next few days, the pottery merchant and Liu Shang visited various merchants to learn about the market conditions in various places.They got all kinds of suggestions, but without exception, they didn't achieve the desired effect at all.

"I understand what the problem is." The potter said suddenly.

"Huh? Tell me." Liu Shang asked curiously.

"From the very beginning, I was fooled by you and restricted my thinking. Although Jiaozhou and Yangzhou are stable, but too many people are doing profitable jobs, and the profit will be low." Tao Shang said.

"How do you say this? How exactly?" Liu Shang asked eagerly.

"We can go to Youzhou." Tao Shang said.

"However, we don't have a quota in the chamber of commerce. We are not a member of the chamber of commerce, so we cannot trade across states." Liu Shangdao, the reason why he proposed to limit the trading locations to Jiaozhou and Yangzhou is not unreasonable.

"Nowadays, the most convenient means of transportation are ships. Why don't we open up a commercial route to Youzhou? Don't you want to be different and attract the attention of the Marquis of Dongyang? This is an opportunity!" Tao Shang said.

"Huh? But the government has been doing this all the time. Wouldn't this damage the interests of the government?" Liu Shang said.

"So, the first step of our plan is to visit the Marquis of Dongyang and propose this matter. The second step is to buy ships. The third step is to recruit sailors. The fourth step is to travel between Yangzhou and Youzhou to make money lying down." The potter said.

Once the first step is passed, everything else is easy.

With the heart of Dongyang Houhai accepting all rivers, even if he fails, there will be no loss, why not give it a try?

Liu Shang's heart suddenly ignited a raging fire, and he pulled the potter to visit Liu Ke.

One is Liu Yao's son, and the other is Tao Qian's son, which still has some face.

Liu Ke met them and said, "I heard that you have a good idea?"

The potters were neither humble nor overbearing, eloquently expounding their views.

Liu Ke couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be an open sea route... Even Liu Ke hesitated about this, worrying that his steps would be too big.

Now the development of Yangzhou is like taking an airplane.

Seeing Liu Ke thinking with a sullen face, Liu Shang's heart skipped a beat.

"You have to know that this is not a small matter. I have considered this matter when it was first established. The government must ensure that the ocean is in its own hands before it will gradually open up. According to my estimation, it will take about five years time." Liu Ke said.

While Tao Shang and Liu Shang were excited, they couldn't help being disappointed.What is exciting is that their thinking is actually the same as that of Dongyang Hou. What is disappointing is that this idea is too naive.

"Not only are there various dangers in the sea today, but the government's investigation has not yet been completed. Moreover, Youzhou is not a peaceful place. This involves a problem, that is, the armed forces of merchants." Liu Ke explained.

The two little shrimps were very moved, Dongyang Hou explained so much, no matter what, the first impression was left.

Now the aristocratic family has its own servants armed, which has already made the government hate it.How could it be possible to easily develop merchant arms again?

It involved all aspects, and Liu Ke didn't dare to make such an opening easily.

"However, I can give you a boat." Liu Ke said.

Turning around, the potter and Liu Shang both froze in place.

"What you have to do is to record the life on board and organize it into a book, including the customs on the shore, special products, etc." Liu Ke said.

Simply put, it's a pilot.
