If you exchange one or two sugars for one or two peppers, it is Li Yu's lion's lion's mouth, which can also be understood as a negotiation technique for extreme pressure.

In fact, even if one or two peppers are exchanged for five pairs of sugar, Li Yu has taken a huge advantage.

But in the end, he forced the transaction between the two sides to the point where two taels of pepper exchanged for five taels of sugar.

The Saro merchant brought a total of ten buckets of pepper.

One dou is sixteen pounds, and one pound is sixteen pounds.

Ten dou of pepper is 2,560 taels.

In exchange, Li Yu gave Saro merchant 6,400 taels of sugar.

In this transaction, both parties took their own needs and were very happy.

Tao Xiying was shocked to learn that Li Yu used twenty-five dou of sugar and actually exchanged it for as many as ten dou of pepper.

In Beijing, pepper is a rare thing that can be sold at sky-high prices. Li Yu only used twenty-five dou of sugar to exchange for so much pepper, which was incredible.

Seeing Li Yu pouring peppers into a large frame, Tao Xiying felt that Li Yu was completely wasting his resources.

She asked, "What is your Highness going to do with these peppers?"

"Sell it! If you just eat it yourself, you won't know if you can eat it until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month."

In Li Yu's concept, pepper is an ordinary condiment, and it is also a condiment he doesn't like to eat very much.

But the ancients were different.

The ancients used pepper as spices and medicinal materials, and even when cooking tea, they could put a few peppers in it.

Tao Xiying said: "Your Highness might as well transport these peppers to the capital for sale. In the capital, peppers can also be sold at a higher price. There is also sugar, your Highness should have been transported to the capital!"

The capital has the most dignitaries and the purchasing power is naturally the strongest.

Li Yu had considered this issue and said, "I don't have shops in Beijing. I planned to buy a few shops after I returned to Beijing."

Tao Xiying said: "Your Highness does not need to do this in person, and this does not conform to your identity."

The merchants have a low status, and nobility will not go to do business in person, and they are usually managed by the butler.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I think that Your Highness can send Manying to the capital, and Manying comes out and buy a few stores. Your Highness only needs to name the store!"

Li Yu looked at Tao Xiying for no reason and asked, "When did you become so familiar with Manying?"

Tao Xiying smiled and said, "Manying and her subordinates also need to eat, drink and use money!"

Now Tao Xiying is in charge of the accounts, and any money expenditure must be passed through her hands.

She had been in contact with Manying several times, and after a while, the two of them became familiar with each other.

Tao Xiying said: "Manying is very capable, and she can do things. Your Highness can rest assured."

Li Yu thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Tao Xiying's opinion.

Tao Xiying continued: "Saro should also produce dragon bead incense in the local area. In the capital, the price of dragon bead is more than twice as expensive as pepper. Since Your Highness has started a business with the Salo merchant, you might as well buy some dragon bead incense from them."

Li Yu looked at Tao Xiying in surprise and joy, and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are quite a business-oriented!"

And I have a wide range of knowledge, but I really underestimated you before!

Tao Xiying's face unconsciously showed a sense of arrogance and said, "If I could enter the officialdom, I would not be worse than those young talents in the capital."

Li Yu smiled with a smile on his face. Confident people sometimes emit light.

He asked Jinwu to come over and explain to Manying, and go to the capital to buy a few shops. As for how many shops to buy, Manying just needs to do it by herself.

Manying asked, "Your Highness, what are these shops used to sell?"

"Sugar, pepper, may also sell Longnaopangxiang in the future!"

"I understand."

Manying thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, what's the name of the store?"

Li Yu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Just call it Fuguitang!"

He hopes that his shop can be prosperous and make him rich and noble in his life.

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Li Yu said: "In terms of money, you can withdraw it from Xiying, I have already explained it."

"yes!"

After a moment of pause, Manying asked carefully: "Your Highness, can you buy a shop outside the capital?"

Thinking she was just asking casually, Li Yu didn't take it seriously, and replied casually: "If you think it's necessary, just do it!"

Now Li Yu is not short of money at all. What he is thinking about is how to spend all the money he has saved and then make money.

After getting Li Yu's approval, Man Ying showed joy on her face and intervened to Li Yu. She couldn't hide her excitement in her words, and said, "I will leave tomorrow!"

After saying that, she turned around and left happily.

Li Yu raised his hand and wanted to say that there was no need to be so anxious, but Manying walked too fast. Before Li Yu could speak, she was gone.

He shook his head. Manying should not be called Manying, but should be changed to Flash.

When Manying was in Tianjidao, her main responsibility was to collect intelligence.

She herself is also very interested in intelligence and has always wanted to become bigger.

However, her status in Tianji Dao is not high and she can only be responsible for a small area. It is not easy to make the intelligence agency bigger.

Now her chance has come.

Shops are the best intelligence base. If she can open the shops all over the country, then her intelligence network will spread all over the country.

Of course, this was not a matter of one day or one night, and she was also busy for the next period of time.

The next day, Li Yu found the Saro merchants again and thought they would like to buy Longnaoxiang.

There is really a dragon head fragrance in the country of Saro.

However, in front of Li Yu, Saro Merchant was extremely surprised, as if Longnaoxiang was such a rare and precious thing.

In fact, the dragon scent is borneol, and the dragon scent is just one of the camphor trees. It does not exist in the Central Plains, but it is not uncommon in the Saro Kingdom.

After repeated tug-of-warming and bargaining with the Saro merchant, the two sides finally agreed that five taels of sugar could be exchanged for one tael of dragon's head.

This time, the Saro merchants who came to Pyeongchang County did not bring Longnaoxiang. The two sides agreed that when the Saro merchants came to Pyeongchang County again next time, they would bring a group of them.

Having almost done the business in Pyeongchang County, Li Yu was planning to leave for Pyeongchang County. At this time, a group of flying guards came to the Wu Palace.

The Feiwei led by the Feiwei Mansion is Du She.

General Zuowei Lang was a middle-level general in Feiwei Mansion, so Li Yu of course knew him.

Seeing Du She coming, Li Yu was stunned and asked, "Why did General Du Lang suddenly come to Pyeongchang County?"

Du She looked left and right, bowed and said, "Your Highness, can you speak with one step?"

Li Yu waved his hand outside and stepped back from his left and right.

After only Li Yu, Jin Wu and Du She were left in the hall, the latter took two steps forward and whispered: "Your Highness, I have sent Li Ye and his family to Pyeongchang County together."

Li Yu, who was drinking tea, almost drank a large mouthful of tea into his ventilator.

He hurriedly put down the teacup and coughed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Jinwu quickly stepped forward and gently patted Li Yu on the back, while glaring at Du She with dissatisfaction.

Li Yu slowed down for a while before stopping the cough. He widened his eyes, looked at Du She and asked, "Who? Have you sent me here?"
