Water transportation is what Yunyao has to do now, but water transportation is not something she can do with wishful thinking. It also requires cooperation from upstream and downstream. If the infrastructure in the upstream and downstream is not supported, even if there is timber resources, it cannot be transported by the river, and it cannot be loaded and unloaded when transported by the river.

Anyway, let’s take a look first. Yunyao asked Mowu to fly and went for an inspection. The inspection would not be rowing, which was a waste of time.

The forest resources downstream are more abundant, the rivers are wider, and the water flow is slower. However, if you go upstream, it will take a long time to consume. The water flows upstream are relatively urgent, but if you go downstream, it will be much easier. The problem is that the upper forests are basically enfeoffed by the Emperor Zhou. You have to negotiate with the local nobles and trade them. I don’t know if they are willing to build roads, ports, and export timber.

The area with the most forests downstream is the area of ​​the Dongyi people, and there are many Dongyi people living in it. However, the area of ​​their tribe is very small, and Yunyao can cut trees outside their tribe, but no one will care about it. However, the same is also a problem of infrastructure.

So in the end, Yun Yao chose the upstream. After all, everyone is Zhou, so it is easier to communicate.

So after passing Xue Kingdom, he came to a new map. Yun Yao really didn't know which country it was.

"Just go down from here." Yunyao discovered the road and decided to walk along the road to see.

The magic dance operated the dark clouds and the two walked along the road. Sure enough, there was also a thatched cottage. Yunyao prepared for the festival and approached the thatched cottage to inquire about the news.

As soon as I arrived at the fence, I saw a woman with long hair lowered her head and rubbed a hemp rope. She was very focused and very fast. She could only hear the numbness whizzing in the palm of her palm.

"May I ask." Yunyao asked.

The woman raised her head, and her dark face was covered with sweat. When she saw that they were two fairy-like women, she was stunned. After a long time, she said, "Neighbors, do you want to rest?"

Stopped the work and put the unfinished hemp rope aside, the woman in her twenties got up and opened the fence door.

"Yes, have a meal." Yunyao handed over the festival to the other party.

It’s still a foreign festival. Are these two women going to get married? Obviously, women rarely go far these days. If they really go far, they will probably be married.

But it doesn't look like it, there is no convoy or dowry.

Suddenly the woman was a little nervous because she was worried that the two people in front of her would be fairies. But she didn't dare to show it and hurried to do her own thing, hoping that they would leave after dinner and breakfast.

Obviously, Yun Yao's unusual way of traveling can easily arouse others' suspicion.

"Why, which country is this place?" Yunyao asked through the door.

"It's Guo Guo." A sound came out of the door, and then the noise of cooking and lighting fire.

Having arrived in Guo State? It's really far away, Yun Yao asked again: "Whose fief is on the bank of Zhuhe?"

"Then is the fief of the Viscount of the Cao family." The woman returned, and a fire had already lit up inside.

There are only two thatched huts and not many utensils, so it can be seen that life is very tight. Moreover, there is no village or shop in front of the village or behind, so it is quite scary to live there.

"You live alone?"

"My husband and I live with us, but my husband and children went to hunt." Although the woman was not old, her children could participate in hunting.

"I don't know where the Cao family's fief is? I want to visit it." Yun Yao asked.

"Just go west along the road." The woman didn't look like a fairy when she heard Yunyao ask about it. The fairy didn't need to know these things, so she asked, "I don't know where the noble man came from?"

"I came from Lu State." Yunyao said: "I also live on the north bank of Zhuhe. This time I came to Guo State to buy wood and transport it to my fief through Zhuhe."

"Are the nobles a noble?" The woman couldn't help but become curious when she heard this, because the titles were inherited by men, and she had never heard of female nobles.

"I'm just a little baron." Yun Yao said.

The woman felt relieved when she heard this. Since she was a nobleman, she would definitely not be greedy for the bottles and jars in the cottage, and she would not have to worry about it.

"I didn't expect that the noble man was the baron, I was rude." He walked out of the door and bowed.

"You're welcome." Yunyao said: "I think this forest is very dense, has it been enfeoffed?"

"These forests still belong to Guo Jun. Although they are close to the Cao family, the Cao family cannot make the decision." The woman said.

Yun Yao thought it would be troublesome. He wanted to find the monarch to buy trees and the Cao family to build a port, which increased the trade costs. But there was no way, so we had to talk about it.

From a business perspective, the early Western Zhou Dynasty was definitely not the most suitable period for business, because the power structures in various places were intertwined, and the transaction of bulk goods required a lot of communication costs.

Yunyao thought to himself what conditions he used to trade with the country and Viscount? The grain must not be sold, so use the cloth woven from the jacquard machine and the medicinal materials. Find a commodity that Guo Guo needs and exchange the wood he needs. Suddenly, Yunyao thought that it was not only that he needed wood, but also that the fiefs around the Zhu family needed, so he could buy and sell and make a difference.

"By the way, why do I have to pay by myself? You can raise funds. Ask me if there is any demand for wood in the surrounding fiefs. If so, I will give you money first. I will purchase the goods and then charge a transportation fee." Yun Yao thought to himself that he was indeed not suitable for being a businessman. He was too honest. The method of fundraising did not appear immediately. He was too stupid and naive.

The fief terrain around the Zhu family is similar and they are all lacking in wood. However, with the development of fiefs, wood is definitely a necessary consumable. Wood is indispensable for building houses, production tools, and even for building vehicles and ships. Then they will definitely want to buy cheap and high-quality wood. As long as they have a source of goods, they will definitely have to pay for themselves.

So Yunyao didn't have to rush to pay for it at all, after all, his fiefs were not rich. But if several fiefs were gathered together, the conditions for negotiation were enough.

Let’s go and test it first. If Guo Guo and the Cao family have this idea, then they will return to China and contact their neighbors and discuss the timber business together.

"Neiren, the millet rice is ready." It's still familiar millet rice, without any side dishes.

Yunyao was settled and feasted. The owner of the cottage wondered whether his cooking skills had improved or whether the other party had worked hard to travel, so the ordinary millet rice became delicious.

"Thank you for the hospitality, then I'll go first."

"A noble man, the journey is going smoothly."

Yunyao walked out of the fence and embarked on a difficult journey to develop a business route. She didn't know that Guo Ji's rebellion occurred in Guoguo at this time, and the domestic situation was very unstable. Several major forces were really preparing to make an appointment.

For Guo Jun’s sister Guo Ji, his colleagues turned against each other and the same tribe was slaughtered, and the country was in peace, and the people of the country were indignant.

When he arrived at Guo Guodu, Yunyao found that the city was in a depressed state. After asking someone, he found out that the nobles of Guo Guo were at strife for the monarch's sister. The people in the capital were also forced to take sides, so the people did not dare to go out for fear of being involved in this nonsensical farce.
