In the Yang Mansion, Zhou Yu was pleased and at the same time very proud of Bai Lang's straightforward question. These are the students he taught, and they have their own judgment.

Bai Lang smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it to his husband, "My father is too embarrassed to come, so I will come on my father's behalf."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes inwardly. This boy was putting a premium on General Bai's face. He didn't know General Bai's vision yet, so he reached out and took the tea cup and took a sip, "I made a big deal with Master Hu Le."

Bai Lang said seriously, "How big is the deal?"

Zhou Yu blew the tea leaves in the teacup, "It can affect some business patterns in the grassland."

Bai Lang's pupils tightened, "Sir, would you like to inform the students?"

Zhou Yu put down the tea cup in his hand and pointed to the lawn not far away, "Look, the lawn is only so big. The grassland is not endless. There are cattle, horses and sheep in the limited pasture. Three kinds of livestock compete for the grassland.

If there are too many livestock, they will inevitably encroach on the other two types of pasture. Guess what deal I made with Mr. Hu’s family?"

Bai Lang knew that he was being tested by his teacher. He had not been tested by his teacher for a long time. He was very excited for a while and stared at the small lawn to analyze his words.

Bai Lang knew that Mr. Bai Lang was on guard against the powerful grassland tribes. Now that the Central Plains is divided, it would be a fight among themselves. No one wants to be taken advantage of by the grassland tribes, so it must not be a good deal.

It won’t be cows either. Cows are important laborers in the fields, so why bother looking far away? You can raise your own cows.

Bai Lang curled his fingertips and said, "Sir, why is it a sheep?"

Zhou Yu looked approvingly, "Guess why? I'll give you some hints. I really like the gift from Master Hu Le."

Bai Lang looked a little embarrassed. His father was staring at Yang Mansion. Although he had not talked to him personally, he understood his actions. He wanted to fight for the interests of the Bai family. Even if he turned to Yang Xixuan, he would not participate.

In Dad's decision, his surname is Bai after all. He has enjoyed the benefits of the Bai family since he was born, and he cannot speak.

Bai Lang recalled the gifts Hu Le gave to the Yang family. The first time he gave a lot of gifts, including fine spices, furs, and wool blankets, he spoke excitedly, "Wool?"

Zhou Yu said, "Well, I told Head Hu Le that I will receive as much wool as Head Hu Le sends."

Her daughter-in-law has already taken apart the blankets and designed a wool-spinning machine. The success is all because her daughter-in-law has improved the loom. What is important now is how to deal with dirt conveniently and quickly.

Bai Lang's heart was beating fast, "Sir, what do you want to exchange for wool?"

It's definitely not money. What the prairie merchants are looking for is not money, they are looking for iron ore and salt!

Zhou Yu smiled and did not give an answer this time, "If your family wants wool, you can talk to Master Hu Le."

Bai Lang looked at the grass again and couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible?"

Zhou Yu, "The tribes in the grassland are not unified. There are smart leaders, but there are also stupid ones. And you should take your time and don't rush, right? At present, the Central Plains' military strength has not been overly internalized, and the grasslands dare not go south."

This gave them time, so they took their time and didn't rush. He was just planning a move in advance.

Zhou Yu continued: "And I think we should contact more grassland merchants."

Leader Hu Le agreed to cooperate because he couldn't refuse the exchange of salt. However, he would not forget the expression on this man's face at that time. Why did he keep pouring wine on him? The first thing he wanted to know about Yang Xixuan, and the second thing he wanted to ask was

Understand what he wants the wool for.

Bai Lang learned his lesson today, but he frowned, "Sir, why is it that only Master Hu Le can reach Ruizhou smoothly?"

Zhou Yu really smiled this time, feeling full of accomplishment in teaching good students, "This is the topic for you today. You go back, think about it, write it and give it to me."

Bai Lang stood up and said, "Thank you sir for your teaching."

Zhou Yu saw that it was getting late, "Let's go back."

After Bai Lang left, Zhou Yu motioned to the servant to remove all the tea and strolled back to the yard in a good mood.

I saw a pile of posts piled high on my wife’s table, “Were these posts delivered today?”

Yang Xi sorted out the important ones and rubbed her sore shoulders, "Well, Bai Lang is gone?"

Zhou Yu picked up the list recorded by his wife and said, "Let's go."

Yang Xi felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, "We don't have time to attend the banquet one by one. I'm thinking of holding a banquet at home and inviting everyone here."

Zhou Yu feels very good. They are really busy as a couple. They used to help with many things in Xixuan, but now they have their own property. The deed between Zhuangzi and the tenants has been signed, and the register is registered on a household basis. Tsk, these A lot of money was spent on paper alone.

In addition to managing the paper used by military households, several paper merchants in Fucheng almost started fighting over the Yang family's business.

Paper is a huge expense, but it cannot be saved. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you register carefully now, you can reduce trouble in the future.

Zhou Yu wanted his wife to study papermaking machines, but unfortunately they didn't have time and they couldn't be too pushy.

When the blueprints for the new loom were sold, Xixuan's control was not outstanding, and he continued to dry salt secretly. There was a salt farm in Ruizhou to cover it up. As long as the forces in Ruizhou didn't find out, they could hide it.

It's not that the couple don't want to do something big, why aren't they in a hurry, because they know how important life is, and if what they did is exposed, they won't face recruitment, but will face endless assassinations.

Compared with the benefits obtained, more people want to kill it in the bud.

And what Xixuan needs is humble growth. Once all the forces know that Ruizhou has many good things, hey, before Xixuan grows up, what awaits Ruizhou is a joint encirclement and suppression by all the forces!

Yang Xi saw Zhou Yu was distracted and waved his hand, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Yu pressed his eyebrows, "I'm thinking that there are many things that can only be achieved by conquering the world."

Yang Xi also sighed, "Yes, even if we buy wool, we can only make it for ourselves and not sell it."

Fortunately, I have sea salt to support me so I don’t feel bad, otherwise this expense would be heartbreaking.

Zhou Yu said, "This can be considered as hoarding supplies. They will be needed sooner or later."

Yang Xi felt much relieved, "Please see if there are any problems with the recorded list. If not, I will ask Zhou Lin to write a post."

Zhou Yu was delighted, "My little brother came just in time."

Yang Xi also smiled, "It's time to cry when I get home tonight."

Zhou Yu read the list carefully and said, "There is nothing wrong with the list. When is the banquet scheduled?"

Yang Xi has already thought of the date, "In five days, the tableware and other items at home will be ready, so there will be no need to be as busy as the first banquet."

You don’t even need to think too much about the menu, just use it.

Zhou Yu put down the list and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Xi was really tired, but she lived a very fulfilling life, "Didn't you find anything in common on the list?"

Zhou Yu really didn't notice it, "Is there any?"

Yang Xi pointed at the list with her fingertips, "The wives and daughters of these people do not have their feet bound."

Zhou Yu suddenly asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Yang Xi's eyebrows curved, "Yeah."

At General Bai's Mansion, Bai Lang repeated what he said. General Bai was silent for a long time, and then he spoke, "Two gentlemen have taught you so well, not to mention Yang Xixuan."

If he had such a sister and brother-in-law, hey, why would he be used by Yang Xixuan? When his value is gone, Ruizhou will also change hands!
