The fiery sun is about to fall into the west mountain, but the sun still remains in the air, indicating that summer is approaching.

I told Zhou Yi about the Naval Academy in the study.

Immediately, he led Zhou Yi to a courtyard less than 300 meters away from the royal palace.

This was once a villa of the Huang family, a wealthy family in Yan County.

The venue is wide, with more than a hundred rooms and beautiful scenery.

"This place is the garrison of the Naval Academy." Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

Afterwards, he would ask the officials of the Workers to transform the place, making it more like a school.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhou Yi has been looking around since he came in, and is very satisfied with the place King Yan chose for him.

Nodding, he continued, "The school will provide you with food. Don't worry about these miscellaneous items. In a few days, I will provide you with a textbook."

He was not very anxious about the coursework in the Naval Academy. After all, Chen Shou's warship could not be completed within half a year.

At present, Zhou Yi’s most important thing is to recruit naval soldiers and then conduct at least three months of training like the royal family.

In addition to training physical strength, you must also master the use of flintlock guns and artillery to shape their discipline.

Of course, he would often come to the Naval Academy to popularize some basic knowledge to them first.

For example, ocean currents, monsoons and other concepts.

After handing over the key to the school gate to Zhou Yi, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

Zhou Yi will handle the remaining school miscellaneous items by himself.

This is also a test for him. Only when he gets started with some things can he grow faster.

...

Business.

Yang He thought about the list for a long time, and when the night fell completely dark, he was inviting people to light up again.

He let out a long sigh and said to the officials around him: "You go to Lu Mansion and call Lu Lin, and then you say that the official invites him to drink."

The official responded and turned around and left.

About half an hour, a carriage stopped in front of the business.

A fat businessman walked into the business with the help of his servant.

At this moment, a table of wine was placed in a private room in the business.

Lu Lin smiled when he saw Yang He sitting inside.

"So late, Lord Yang will come, there must be something good." Lu Lin bowed and smiled.

"This is naturally. I can't forget Brother Lu either." Yang He put away the official's behavior and looked very intimate with Lu Lin.

He and Lu Lin had known each other for a long time. When the Zhang family was still there, Lu Lin often sold silk from Yuzhou to Yan County.

The Yang family can be said to be one of Lu Lin’s major customers.

After he became the head of the business, Lu Lin and the Yang family became more diligent.

After all, who doesn’t want to have a relationship with the Yan Prince’s Mansion now?

However, compared with other big merchants, Lu Lin's family background is a bit weak.

The monopoly rights of the royal wine, perfume, and glass are not as good as those rich merchants.

But he was unwilling to give up, so he kept guarding Yancheng, wanting to wait for a chance to get rich.

"You're serious?" Lu Lin just said politely, but when he saw that Yang He didn't seem to be joking with him, he immediately became serious.

Yang He nodded gently, "I know that Brother Lu's ambition is to be a wealthy businessman with great sang. Now there is a chance. I wonder if Brother Lu has the courage."

"Oh?" Lu Lin was puzzled, "Please ask Brother Yang to show me."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Our Yanzhou Commercial Bank intends to establish a business alliance to attract merchants from all over the world to join. The merchants who join the alliance will give various discounts, but correspondingly, merchants must abide by the rules and orders of the merchant alliance."

Lu Lin's eyes turned around. He was not a stupid person, so he guessed that this was unusual.

So he asked carefully: "Is this the instruction of the King of Yan?"

Yang He just smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lu Lin felt scheming in his heart.

He is a merchant in Yuzhou. He respects the Wang family's money every year and also has the Wang family's business introductory information.

However, there are many merchants who are attracted by business, but few can get goods from the royal palace.

Seeing that the merchant who sold royal goods in Yuzhou was rich, it was impossible for him to say that he was not jealous.

It is precisely for this reason that he held his breath and stayed in Yancheng just to wait for the new goods in the royal palace to be released.

So Yang He said that he could not help but be moved.

But he was also a little worried, afraid of involving the fight between the King of Yan and the powerful clans.

When entering the Shang League, you must abide by the rules of the Shang League, which is the same as obeying the royal palace.

So he smiled bitterly and said, "A good thing is certainly a good thing, but a small body like me can't stand the troubles of His Highness King Yan and the Wang family."

Yang He sneered when he heard this, and said, "Brother Lu, do you know why Yanzhou officials treat merchants with courtesy and integrity?"

"I have heard of this. It is said that His Highness of Yan, who has implemented a policy of valuing merchants in Yanzhou, treating merchants like scholars." Lu Lindao.

"So what if Brother Lu is in Yuzhou?" Yang He asked again.

"The powerful and powerful families do business in the family Sui Yun, but they all regard business as dirty things and are particularly despised by merchants." Lu Lin sighed.

"Since that's the case, why should Brother Lu be a inferior person in Yuzhou?" Yang He stared at Lu Lin, "Of course, Yang just saw that Brother Lu is a talented person, so he had such a kind heart. If Brother Lu was unwilling, he would not force him."

After pausing, he sighed: "I just passed a village, but there was no such store. Besides, joining the Shang League is not about letting Brother Lu march and fight. It is a meticulous work, and there is no danger."

"Isn't it a detailed work?" Lu Lin suddenly spoke in surprise.

Yang He was stunned for a moment and thought that Lu Lin had misunderstood and thought that he would start to fight the Wang family from now on after joining the Shang League.

Haha, he said, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you are wrong. The establishment of this business alliance by King Yan is not used to do things right with others, but a big family that gathers merchants all over the world."

After organizing the language, he said: "First, in the business alliance, you can know merchants from other states. This is a connection. Second, the business alliance has its own rules. For example, if merchants in the business alliance go to other states to do business, the merchants in the business alliance where they are located cannot oppress you, they can only compete fairly with you. In this way, a good business environment can be established so that the interests of each merchant can be protected."

"Third, if the merchant is blackmailed by officials, the Merchant Alliance will also come forward for him. Fourth, the Merchant Alliance will unify the goods in the Merchant Alliance, such as Yanjun, rice and cloth, will remain generally similar to prevent someone from going up or selling at a low price..."

Yang He said the rules of the Business Alliance one by one.

Finally, he said: "Of course, as the initiator of the Commercial Alliance, the Yanzhou Commercial Bank will provide preferential treatment to merchants in the Alliance on the goods of the royal palace, and you can also do business freely in Yanzhou in the future. The government will protect your interests."

Then he smiled mysteriously and threw out a big news, "Your Highness also said that in the future, you may be allowed to build workshops in Yanzhou, for example, you will sell the craftsmanship of the soap workshop to you."

"What!" Hearing this, Lu Lin could no longer remain calm.

Yang He just smiled. According to King Yan, they only need to conserve the core of soap manufacturing and caustic soda process.

Sell ​​caustic soda to merchants at high prices to ensure the profits of the royal family and allow them to set up workshops to produce in Yanzhou.

This will quickly increase the supply of soap.

In order to avoid the waste of manpower in Yanzhou and enrich the population of Yanzhou, the royal palace will also introduce preferential policies to allow merchants to bring craftsmen from other states.

This not only attracted a large number of merchants to build workshops in the four northern counties, but also introduced a large number of high-quality populations, killing two birds with one stone.

"I'll join, Brother Yang, I must let me join." Lu Lin suddenly held Yang He's hand tightly.

He admitted that he was moved, and he was crazy.
