"...Okay, bamboo leaves are bamboo leaves...The next step is to create a unique packaging. I will contact you to purchase the rubber bottle in Dashiguo. Don't be afraid of it. It's like people wearing clothes, which represents grade and taste. And the money for buying clothes is ultimately paid by the people who buy perfume. You are just paying for it on your behalf, and you don't feel sorry for it. Then there is the sales group. If you want to sell it expensive, you have to find rich people and noble people to buy it. How can you let them buy it? There are many ways, but if you start from scratch, you have to start with the rich.

Starting with it is probably a bit slow, and it will cost a lot of money. The easiest thing is to find a way from the upper level and work from the lower level! As long as the officials of the Song Dynasty and their families like your perfume, the rich people among the people will naturally follow the example." Hong Tao's belly has more goods than managing the country and fighting wars. Although there is no TV and online advertising available at present, the principles are the same. As long as you master this principle and make a little more adjustment to the specific implementation methods, it is a trick.

"Officials of the Song Dynasty! I don't know them... I originally wanted to go to the restaurant to find those singing girls." Jiang Zhuyi probably understood Hong Tao's idea, and did not object, but felt that it was difficult to implement it.

"Singing Girls is also a good way, but don't be a singing girl anymore. That job is too dangerous. What if I meet someone like me who is drunk again? Besides, if you take the singing girl, your identity is a problem, which will affect the positioning and audience of the perfume brand. It's inappropriate... Let's do this, I'll help you find a way for the official business. There's no rush. I guess they will come to your door soon. Just prepare a meeting gift. Your perfume is a good gift, but where to go to find a more unique box... This is a

Question! Let me think about it..." In fact, it is a good way to go to restaurants to find singers to sell perfume. They are all rich people, especially in high-end restaurants. There are also many officials. However, Hong Tao instinctively doesn't want Jiang Zhuyi to step into that environment again. He wants to create a smoother road for her. There is no other reason, it's selfish. Although she is an enemy relationship, she has been with her for a night after all, and she doesn't hate her, or she likes her a little. It's not easy to meet a woman who makes her like a little in the Song Dynasty.

Whatever he did, the packaging box that Hong Tao finally imagined for Jiang Zhu was really unique, it was a model of Jinhe. It was more than one foot long and was hand-carved by the carpenter on the boat with wood. Not only was the hull exactly the same, but there were also masts and sails, and even the bilge pressed objects at the bottom of the bilge. It would definitely float steadily when placed in the water. It was just a hidden groove below the stern building. After it was lifted, it was a pair of two small bottles of bamboo leaf green brand perfume. The trademark was stamped on the wax seal at the mouth of the bottle. It was also completed by the craftsmen on the boat.

"How is it? My craftsmanship is good on the boat! Let's go and have a meal. Let's try the skills of the chefs here, and you've never eaten them... Oh, by the way, there are also the Xu family and sons. They just gathered together and almost forgot them." When they remembered, they went to do whatever they wanted. Hong Tao pulled Jiang Zhuyi to the bottom cabin and watched the carpenters do carpentry for half a day. After getting the first finished product, he came up with satisfaction. At this time, the sky was getting darker and it was time for dinner.

"Life on the boat is too difficult. Do they stay in the cabin every day, sleeping in that kind of hammock?" Jiang Zhuyi did not stay in the bottom cabin honestly this afternoon. She had no interest in carpentry work. Accompanied by sailors, she walked around the boat and had a preliminary understanding of life at sea. Especially the mixed smell of moldy and human body odor in the cabin almost made her vomit.

"You can go to the deck when docking. You can't walk around when sailing on the sea. Everyone has their own place. My boat is quite clean and tidy. If I take you to a few other cargo ships, you will really vomit. People there live with horses, and hundreds of horses fart a day. You can figure out what that tastes like. Hehehe... I won't talk about this anymore, prepare for dinner. Come on, Xu Zuotou, it's really negligent. Let's drink some, I apologize for this cup, and I'll do it first!" Dinner is very simple and sumptuous, with barbecue, and there are many varieties. Do whatever you want to eat. Just sit on the stern of Jinhehao, blowing the sea breeze around the hot grill, and eating and talking, and watching the river view, which is quite interesting.

I have been eating this supper for more than an hour. It’s not that Hong Tao’s barbecue skills are so good, but that everyone has a lot of topics to talk about. Xu Liangzhi has decided to join forces with Jinhe Company to build a joint venture with Jinhe Company to specialize in Japan and Goryeo. According to Hong Tao’s habit, the name of the guild is called Pacific Company, which is specifically responsible for the sea trade in the east. The chairman of the company is naturally Hong Tao, the representative of Jinhe Company. Currently, only Jinhe Company and Xu Family are shareholders, so there will be no increase for the time being. Hong Tao does not want to make too much noise here. The company’s only task is to meet the sulfur needs of Jinhe Bay and slowly gain a foothold on this route. The rest will be discussed when Hong Tao makes a vacant move.

"I won't send you away, wait for my news..." There is no banquet that will last forever. Although everyone was satisfied with this meal, Hong Tao still sent Jiang Zhuyi off the boat. No matter whether she wanted it or not, she could not be allowed to stay on the boat. On the one hand, Xu Liangzhi and his son followed him. The unmarried woman stayed on the boat in the middle of the night, which was not good for her. On the other hand, Hong Tao was also afraid that he would fall too deeply. If he really had feelings for this girl, it would be troublesome. How could he propose marriage? He wouldn't call it out! In fact, he has slowly left the state of pure **. He has never seen any kind of girl in his previous life. His love for Jiang Zhuyi comes more spiritually, but simply feels that it is more comfortable to talk together and chat.

Officials from the Song Dynasty really came to the door. On the third day after Hong Tao's fleet arrived in Mingzhou, a team of people came to the gate of the boat transfer yamen. The leader of an official riding a horse was wearing a purple robe. According to the rank system of officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, the purple robe was at least a fourth-rank official, and he was considered a real high-ranking official. However, Hong Tao still did not get off the boat. He asked Ci Qing to come forward to ask who the other party was, and then make plans. With the foundation for meeting Emperor Lizong on the boat, now he doesn't have to worry about anyone. You emperors can chat according to my requirements. Are subjects more advanced than the emperor?

Quan knows the affairs of Mingzhou! What kind of official position is this? If Hong Tao had just traveled through time for a while, he would not be able to figure out the complex official system of the Southern Song Dynasty. Fortunately, he was studious and had contacted some ministers of the Southern Song court. He dare not say that he had figured it out, but he could still know what the main official position titles were for.

To put it bluntly, the magistrate of Mingzhou is the prefect of Mingzhou. The word "Quan" originally meant as an agent, but it became a rule as a call. It was not an agent, and the magistrate had to add the word "Quan" in front of it, which seemed rather modest. The administrative divisions of the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were similar, and there was also a road above it. However, the roads and counties in the Song Dynasty were quite distinctive. The roads and prefectures were on the same level, and the prefectures, military, and supervisors were also on the same level. There were two levels in total, including the state, prefectures, military, and supervisors, and the county. All the administrative regions of the first level were managed by the central government, which was similar to the municipalities directly under the central government in later generations. In other words, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the court had to manage hundreds of municipalities directly under the central government.

The road is neither a province nor a county, and it has no chief executive. Each road has four departments, namely the Transportation Commission (Cat Division), the Criminal Prison Division (Canton Division), the Changping Commission (Cang Division), and the Strategy of the Pacification Commission (Shipbuilding Division). These four departments are in charge of each other and do not belong to each other. Only the level of the Pacification Commission's Pacification Commission is slightly higher and has the right to recommend the officials of the route, which is only recommended. However, the Pacification Commission's Pacification Commission is not a standing official, and there is no such position when there is no war. Only in war will the court send people to be the Pacification Commission as the Pacification Commission, and it must be a civil servant, and it will never be a military man.

From the administrative division of the Song Dynasty, we can see how afraid of the military personnel, and how afraid they were of the war in the late Tang Dynasty. We would rather spend so much energy than put all the states in the country under the central government. We finally set up a road, but we were afraid that there would be someone to separatist, so we simply did not even set up managers and let several departments grind our teeth. This would make the military personnel not have the chance to separatist the vassal states, but it also has many disadvantages, such as the phenomenon of redundant officials, the military's combat effectiveness, the poor service efficiency, the country's money and food, etc. Moreover, when a war is fought, it would be better to let a literati lead the troops and catch up with an official who usually reads a little miscellaneous books. Once a scholar like Wen Nan is a paper-talking scholar, do you think this battle can be won? If this person is a bit stubborn and does not listen to the opinions of his military generals, what should he wait for?

"Wu Qian!!!" Ci Qing quickly ran back with a small notebook. This thing is called a name post, which is similar to the business cards of later generations, but there are many forms. If a subordinate visits his superior, it is called a door letter. There are more contents in it. Not only do you have to explain who you are and where you are, but you also have to tell the purpose of it. If you move around at the same level, you don't have to worry about it. Just write who you are. Hong Tao opened the notebook and saw that there was only one line of words on it: Wu Qian, the commander of the Eastern Coastal Commander of Zhejiang Province.

This name is familiar to Hong Tao, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty! I don’t remember what he wrote about, but he has done tourism and has impressions of most historical monuments. In later generations, there was a historical monument called Tuo Mountain Weir, which is an ancient water conservancy project that can prevent seawater from pouring back from the Yongjiang River into rice fields. It is collectively known as the four major water conservancy projects in ancient China, together with Zhengguo Canal, Lingqu, and Dujiang Yan. The builder of this mountain dam is Wu Qian. As for whether it is Wu Qian, we have to ask again. (To be continued.)
