I run a travel agency in the cultivation world

Chapter 354
As soon as they got on the flying boat, Mo Lin and Shang Jia dispersed, and Yang Zhao and Director Chen got together and began to study the little book that General Lu gave her.

This small book is half new and not old, it looks like a second-hand product.

But second-hand goods have the benefits of second-hand goods. This small book contains the notes left by the previous owner after reading it.

There are not many notes, but next to some difficult to understand proper nouns or ambiguous clauses, there will be the understanding of the previous generation owner.

The few are three or two words, and the many are three or five sentences.

It seemed that General Lu was quite satisfied with the dagger he gave, otherwise he would just give Yang Zhao a new one, and she would scratch her head when faced with these terms and conditions.

For example, it is written in the small book: The management personnel on the island can have limited self-defense when facing danger.

The word "limited" is ambiguous to Xiaobai. After all, who knows how big the limit is, can it kill people, or can it only be tied up?

That is, relying on this note, the two stumbled and read most of this small book.

It turned out that Heizhu Island was an overseas enclave of Dazhou, and the owner of the island not only had to carry out commercial planting activities, but also had the obligation to assist in the management of the garrison base.

For example, when a major disaster such as a shipwreck occurs in this sea area, the garrison base has the right to take over the management of Heizhu Island.

When the garrison base is short of manpower, all monks on Heizhu Island can be recruited into the army conditionally.

Of course, this is when the situation is more urgent, and there is an obligation to supervise and report on Heizhu Island every day.

If there are any bandits in the waters near Heizhu Island, or bad fights by monks (regardless of race), Heizhu Island must immediately report to the garrison base.

As for giving gifts to the army, there are also clear regulations in the small book.

For example, the owner of the island can provide the army with food, vegetables and other necessary supplies, and the army can make two rounds around their small island according to the rules.

After studying this one by one, the small book has not been finished yet, and the flying boat has already arrived at Heizhu Island.

Then the work of researching the small book increased from two people, Yang Zhao and Director Chen, to seven people.

Of course, those extra people are all Xiaodou people.

They specially found a larger room, and Yang Zhao handed out small notebooks and pencils one by one, and then began to read and write them one by one.

After adding these little bean people, the efficiency of interpretation work has been significantly improved.

After all, General Lu's notes were not interpreted sentence by sentence, and she only wrote her own understanding next to what she thought was important, and the common sense issues that General Lu thought were difficult for Yang Chao to understand.

But in the eyes of these Xiaodou people who assisted her in managing Heizhu Island, this problem became clear at a glance.

The scope of a sentence is uncertain, so it should be treated with caution; which sentence can be interpreted with different meanings, or which sentence has traps, etc., if they don’t say that they are very proficient in these things, it also means that they are at their fingertips.

As a result, the event transitioned smoothly from Yang Zhao's lecture to Xiaodou people's absolute control.

Yang Zhao and Director Chen could only sit quietly and obediently and take notes. They seemed to be idiots who couldn't understand human language under the background of Xiaodouren.

Yang Zhao thought about it silently while writing it down. He had been studying for nearly fifteen or sixteen years from elementary school to university, and he did a lot of reading comprehension.

Compared with these little bean people now, I am really ashamed of the teacher's teachings over the years.

Of course, because of language problems, Xiaodou people have many uncertainties.

Yang Zhao posted these questions in the Zhuanrui Building for a fee on the spot, in order to ask professionals to answer them.

If this step is not enough, then Heizhu Island must be careful when facing this kind of problem.

This work was complicated and Yang Zhao couldn't avoid it. After studying the whole book, she felt like she didn't dare to ask for leave after several days of lectures.

At this time, Feng Zhou, the red-ringed sea snake with a cat in the sea, sent a message saying that a strange flying boat was flying straight towards Heizhu Island.

The logo engraved on the flying boat is Universal Trading Company.

When Yang Zhao was still a little dazed, Supervisor Chen had already come over.

"After half a month, it will be the day when the Four Seas Trading Company will come to deliver food to our island. The Four Seas Trading Company was contacted by the previous owner and usually supplies the island's food supplies."

Yang Zhao slapped her forehead, and she actually forgot about this important event concerning the survival of thousands of people.

When she was in Lijing, a business firm had contacted her proactively, and Xiaodouren had also raised this issue with her, asking her to contact her when she went to Sky City.

After all, it is easy to talk at the wine table, and there is not even a decent cook on Heizhu Island.

But because of the eye problem, Yang Zhao, who was having nightmares again and again, was exhausted, so she didn't think of this problem.

After returning to the island with her people, she hurriedly went to the nearby garrison base, and then began to attend the big class again.

And the little bean man on the island saw that he had pulled several flying boats of food and supplies when he came back, and thought she had already solved the matter, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, young people of this age are very annoyed by being followed behind, constantly giving instructions.

Yang Zhao asked Director Chen to take people on a flying boat to meet him, and he dug out the account books of food in and out that Xiaodouren had packed up a few days ago, and temporarily hugged Buddha's feet.

Xiaodouren was not idle either, dug out two sets of tea sets from nowhere, washed them inside and out with great effort, and boiled water for the guests.

The tea leaves to be used are a kind of shrub leaves grown on Heizhu Island. The leaves are dark green and jagged. If eaten dry, the taste is a bit bitter. Soaking in water will make the water taste sweet, but this thing should promote digestion. The more you drink, the hungrier you get, so adults generally don't drink it.

This thing is a rare snack for children on the island, and children are often organized to pick it from the banks of the nearby creek.

The little beans were picked after these children.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing cannot entertain guests.

But Yang Zhao didn't have the habit of drinking tea, so he naturally wouldn't buy this thing. The tea that Director Chen and the others drank was too low-grade.

After much deliberation, this leaf is more reliable, at least for outsiders who have never drunk it, it is relatively fresh.

Yang Zhao had just checked the prices of grain for the past three years, when someone from Xiaodou came to tell her that the flying boat in the Cosmopolitan Mall had already landed.

She hurriedly packed up the account books, ready to welcome the people from the Four Seas Trading Company.

After a while, a big blue meaty ball came in accompanied by Director Chen.

This man's fat eyes have been narrowed into a line, like a Maitreya Buddha, dressed in tile-colored clothes, snatching Yang Zhao's attention as soon as he came in.

As for the other people following behind, they were too inconspicuous compared to this big blue meaty ball, so it was understandable that they were ignored.

Director Chen bit the bullet and acted as a middleman to introduce to the two parties. In the past, he could not get this job.

"Boss, this is Fengda shopkeeper of the Four Seas Trading Company. He is in charge of a fleet that specializes in traveling the nearby routes. He is very capable and has a great reputation on this route."

"Bong big shopkeeper, this is the owner of our Heizhu Island."

The two sides saluted, and the treasurer Feng Da opened his mouth first.

"My boss is a young talent. At first glance, he is a person who can do great things. I am a virtuous and virtuous person in the Four Seas Trading Company. I am highly valued by our boss. I am in charge of the business of this route. It is really impolite to come here this time."

"Treasurer Fengda, you are really polite. I am the new owner of Heizhu Island. My surname is Yang, and the name of the shopkeeper Fengda has been known to me for a long time."

Then the two parties took their seats respectively, and Yang Zhao pointed to the tea served by Xiaodouren.

"This is a taste of the grass tea from Heizhu Island, which is served by the shopkeeper. It is not a good thing, let alone as sweet as authentic tea, but it is also a specialty of Heizhu Island. It has a bit of wild taste."

Master Feng gave me a lot of face.

"Since it was recommended by Island Master Yang, then I have to give it a try."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, full of admiration.

"The taste is sweet and refreshing, soft and pure, and it really lives up to Island Master Yang's recommendation."

Seeing this simple tea being praised so much, Yang Zhao took another sip from the teacup with doubts. Could it be that the leaves will taste better after soaking for a long time?

As a result, he swallowed down his throat with a sip of tea, and Yang Zhao found that the taste was still the same, without any change.

It seems that she is really a rough person, she can't taste the purity and softness of tea at all.

But she couldn't ask this question in a stupid way, so she could only follow the words of the big shopkeeper and start chatting.

The two sides exchanged a few words of praise for each other, poured a cup of tea into their stomachs, and Feng Da shopkeeper began to talk about food issues.

The fleet of their trading firm has stopped at another island to rest today, and they will be able to reach Heizhu Island in half a month.

And they have already loaded the grain on the boat to be transported to Heizhu Island.

Although an owner on Heizhu Island had already greeted them, but because of the new owner of Heizhu Island, no one was sent to contact them.

The firm did some research, and based on the idea that they would lose money at most by shipping grain, and if the grain was not shipped, thousands of people on Heizhu Island would be at risk of starvation, so they packed the grain into the cabin.

"I wonder if Island Master Yang is interested in cooperating with our firm?"

If Yang Zhao is not interested, then their fleet will change its route in the future and sell the grain that was originally going to Heizhu Island to others at a reduced price.

When the Fengda shopkeeper talked about business, he showed a style of behavior that was completely opposite to his image.

What is important is to put the whole matter in front of Yang Zhao clearly and neatly.

He didn't cover up the possibility that the Four Seas Trading Company might lose money in the grain business, nor was he afraid that Yang Zhao would catch this and stretch him in order to ask for a lower price.

"My Four Seas Trading Company takes honesty as its principle of conduct. I will tell you clearly how much money I can earn from this business. If you don't believe me, Island Master Yang, you can inquire about this route and see if I'm lying. Human."

Chen Guanwen, who was sitting next to the last seat in the room, nodded silently to Yang Chao.

No matter how stupid Yang Zhao is, he still understands what he means. This method of doing business makes the profit clear to the seller and the buyer, but it also locks up the room for the buyer to negotiate the price. It will be very difficult to negotiate a large price.

This style of behavior has advantages and disadvantages for both buyers and sellers, but it is very friendly to unfamiliar partners who are in contact with them for the first time.

And Yang Zhao happened to be the type of person who neither knew how to bargain nor was an unfamiliar partner.

Moreover, the Four Seas Trading Company took the risk of losing money and loaded the grain into the cabin without getting approval. Yang Zhao admired this behavior.

After all, no one wants to lose money, capital is profit-seeking.

"Just for you, I also want to cooperate with the Universal Trading Company."

After getting the right words, the shopkeeper of Fengda took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhao, and then began to introduce the price of grain.

He introduced their purchase cost, labor cost, ship freight and so on.

From the beginning to the end, there is no clear introduction, all the data are taken from the mouth, without stuttering at all, and it is faster than Yang Zhao can read it, obviously he is very familiar with these things.

And the reason why he introduced it in such detail is to give Yang Zhao a reference.

After all, the price of grain is different every year, so Yang Zhao can't use the account books of previous years to measure the price of this year's grain.

This time they brought nearly 40 catties of grain, worth more than 500 taels of silver, enough to feed everyone on the island for more than three months.

There is no sufficient supply of oil and sugar on the island, and the workers can eat it all.

In addition, there are children who are being counted by the little bean people who also need to eat.

"If it was bought in Dazhou, the 40 catties of grain would only cost more than 700 taels, but this is at sea, so the price will naturally be much more expensive."

The extra money is the shipping fee and the profit they want to make for the Four Seas Trading Company.

Yang Zhao held the small book given by the shopkeeper and did some calculations in his heart, and found that the money was about the same.

　Food prices are based on the Qing Dynasty.
