    After the planning is completed, shouldn¡¯t it be implemented?

    "This is our chance to become famous. Do you want to be together?" Liu Shang asked in a lowered voice.

    "If the Tao family wants to rise, it can only take an official career." Tao Shang declined politely.

    Liu Shang also has a very talented eldest brother Liu Ji, while Tao Ying, Tao Shang's brother, is not very talented.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is an eclectic figure who can develop Yangzhou into what it is in a few years. Why should we bother with the imperial examination?" Liu Shang continued to persuade.

    However, Xu Shu¡¯s success gave more students hope of success, and Tao Shang was one of them.

    It¡¯s funny to say that while Liu Ke vigorously promoted the imperial examination, he also asked students to denounce other paths as heresy.

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

    "You don't understand" the pottery merchant sighed.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang strongly supports business. If we can ride on this breeze, we can expect to make a fortune in the future." Liu Shangdao.

    "Money is just an external possession." The pottery merchant said unmoved.

    "You still don't understand that there is a lack of 'business officials' in Yangzhou today. With your qualifications, it is too difficult to pass the imperial examination. There is nothing better than using business as a capital for promotion." Liu Shangdao.

    "This" The pottery merchant hesitated.

    "Not talking about my eldest brother Liu Ji's class, just the newly admitted Lu Ji and Lu Xun, young talents, are you sure you can beat them?" Liu Shangdao.

    "Then give it a try." The potter surrendered.

    "We are brothers with different surnames. We share blessings and share hardships. If things go wrong, I promise you that if you have debts, I will bear them alone." Liu Shangdao.

    "That's too much." The pottery merchant said unhappily.

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

    As they talked, they went to a restaurant to discuss what to do.

    "Now that the states are unstable and our strength is too small, the trade locations are determined to be Jiaozhou and Yangzhou." Liu Shangdao.

    After thinking about it, Tao Shang agreed.  As for what kind of goods to transport, two people are in trouble.

    Because there are thousands of kinds of products, those that are guaranteed to make money are basically controlled by major merchants.

    "The best product is of course salt, but it is controlled by the government" the pottery merchant sighed.

    "What about silk?" Liu Shang suggested, "The silk in Yangzhou is good."

    The pottery merchant could not help but remind: "Jiaozhou is different from Yangzhou. The people are poor and have just experienced a war. How can it be possible to buy silk in large quantities?"

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

    "The government has compensated farm tools." The pottery merchant objected.

    Liu Shang made several more suggestions, but they were all rejected. He said helplessly: "Then I have no 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 received various suggestions, but without exception, they failed to achieve the desired results.

    "I understand the problem." The pottery merchant suddenly said.

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

    "From the beginning, I was fooled by you and limited my thinking. Although Jiaozhou and Yangzhou are stable, there are too many people doing the profitable work, so the profits are low." Tao Shang said.

    "How to say this? How to do it specifically?" Liu Shang asked eagerly.

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

    "However, we do not have a quota in the Chamber of Commerce. If we are not members of the Chamber of Commerce, we cannot trade across states." Liu Shangdao said that the reason why he proposed to limit the trading locations to Jiaozhou and Yangzhou is not unreasonable.

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

    "Huh? But the government has been doing this. Wouldn't it harm the interests of the government?" Liu Shangdao.

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

    Once the first step is passed, other things will be simple.

    ??With Dongyang Hou¡¯s open-minded heart, even if he fails, there will be no loss. Why not give it a try?

    Liu Shang¡¯s heartSuddenly a raging fire ignited, and he took the pottery merchant to visit Liu Ke.

    One is Liu Yao¡¯s son and the other is Tao Qian¡¯s son, so they still have some respect.

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

    The pottery merchants were neither humble nor arrogant, and explained their views eloquently.

    Liu Ke laughed dumbly, it turned out to be the opening of the sea route Even Liu Ke hesitated about this, worried that he would take too big a step at once.

    The development of Yangzhou is now like flying.

    Liu Shang's heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Ke thinking gloomily.

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

    Tao Shang and Liu Shang were excited, but they couldn't help but feel disappointed.  What was exciting was that their ideas were the same as those of Marquis Dongyang. What was disappointing was that this idea was too naive.

    "Today's ocean is not only full of various dangers, but the government's investigation has not yet been completed. Moreover, Youzhou is not a peaceful land, which involves a problem, that is, merchant armed forces." Liu Ke explained.

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

    Now that the aristocratic family has its own servants and armed forces, the government is deeply disgusted.  How could it be possible to easily develop merchant arms again?

    It involves all aspects, and Liu Ke does not dare to open this hole easily.

    "However, I can give you a boat." Liu Kedao.

    After a sudden turn of events, Tao Shang and Liu Shang were both stagnant in place.

    "What you have to do is record your life on the ship and compile it into a book, including the customs, products and specialties on the shore," Liu Kedao said.

    Simply put, it is a pilot project.

    In fact, Liu Ke had already arranged for Gan Ning to do this work, but they were all Muggles.  Although he popularized the culture and made some records, Liu Ke couldn't grasp the key points between the lines at first glance.

    Both Tao Shang and Liu Shang were Taixue students. The descendants of declining aristocratic families were just blank sheets of paper. This job was very suitable for them.

    "Your records need to be compiled into a book. Everyone who goes to sea in the future will have a copy." Liu Kedao.

    "It's their turn to have such a great honor?"

    "Thank you, Marquis Dongyang, for the promotion. The student will definitely do his best!" Liu Shang said, cupping his fists.

    "I will work hard!" Tao Shang said with trembling eyes. Was this move the right one?

    Such an opportunity is almost the same as winning the national examination.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
