After Du Yuzhang returned to Qingzhou City, he wrote a letter to his family and ordered someone to send it to Du's house in the capital quickly, along with a pot of potatoes. Then, Du Yuzhang sent people to Qingshan County to collect the seeds prepared by the merchants.

By the time these people arrived at the county office of Qingshan County, five days had passed, and Shang Shigong had already prepared everything. A hundred pounds of each seed were taken and packed in sacks. The largest amount of potatoes, a total of 3,000 catties, were also packed in sacks. The remaining more than 1,000 catties of potatoes were unceremoniously left by Shang Jinxiu.

Du Yuzhang was very careful, and the people he sent were bright and dark, and there were 100 people in the open, and they all looked like ordinary officials. In the dark, there are still fifty masters, who are dead soldiers specially cultivated by the Du family. Du Yuzhang arranged this because he was worried about attracting more people's attention and making mistakes on the road.

After referring to what Shang Jinxiu wrote, Shang Shigong wrote a carefully worded and beautiful excerpt and handed it to the henchmen sent by Du Yuzhang.

When the things were sent to the government, Du Yuzhang's heart that he had been carrying was finally put down. He ordered things to be put in the storehouse and carefully guarded, so he called his henchmen to the study. The study is heavily guarded, and there is no fear of overhearing when talking here.

After closing the door, the henchman took out the fold of Shang Shigong from his arms and handed it to Du Yuzhang. Du Yuzhang opened the fold, and before he read the content, he couldn't help but secretly praise the "good word" in his heart. Hurriedly reading the excerpts, Du Yuzhang couldn't help but sigh.

This businessman is really cautious! Dare to hide from him!

But instead of getting angry, he laughed. Although the merchant has hidden his personal interests, there is also a lot of content revealed. As for the specific formula. Those things are afraid that they are the hole cards of Shang Shi Gong, and Shang Shi Gong is unwilling to hand them over easily. He can understand.

Anyway, he is ready to recommend Shang Shigong to succeed him as the prefect of Qingzhou, and then the merchant will be on the big ship of the Du family. If the merchant is too stupid, it will affect the Du family.

However, understanding is understanding, these things that Shang Shigong hid, he still had to find a way to get him to hand them over! He can see that these things are the real key!

Du Yuzhang thought about it, wrote a letter, and ordered his henchmen to hand it over to Shang Shigong. Wait for the henchmen to leave. Du Yuzhang couldn't help but sigh. This letter is his temptation to Shang Shigong, and it is also his sincerity. There is nothing wrong with Shang Shigong choosing to leave his hole cards for himself, but if he does it too much, it will not be beautiful.

If Shang Shigong is obsessed after reading the letter, he will still recommend Shang Shigong as promised, but from now on, everyone will not owe each other anything.

This henchman traveled day and night, and met Shang Shigong in the evening of the next day. Shang Shigong didn't expect him to go and return, and he was a little surprised to see him. Until. The henchman took out Du Yuzhang's letter, and Shang Shigong just looked at the envelope, and he didn't even read the contents, and his face changed slightly.

Quickly arranged this henchman. Shang Shigong tore open the envelope. Du Yuzhang's wording was not harsh, but a little earnest and persuasive. After reading Shang Shigong, he realized that he owed some consideration before.

Fortunately. Shang Shigong used to write the excerpt in a very clever way, revealing only a few things. Let Du Yuzhang grab the handle. In fact, the production of the grange involves a lot of details, which are very important. But as long as you haven't really come into contact with someone, you can't see it at all!

Shang Jinxiu only revealed the general content, but she didn't reveal the most critical technical things. Shang Shigong saw it, so he naturally didn't embarrass her, so he paid attention to it when he wrote the excerpt.

It's just that he still owes a little bit of consideration, which makes Du Yuzhang feel that he has hidden more things.

Shang Shigong rewrote an excerpt, selectively revealing some less critical things. Compared with the previous excerpt, the content is naturally richer, and the wording is more rigorous, so that people can't make mistakes.

After writing the excerpt, Shang Shigong handed it over to the henchmen sent by Du Yuzhang. By this time, it was already the next morning. The henchman had recovered after a night's rest, and after getting the fold, he didn't stay anymore and hurried back to Qingzhou City.

This time, Du Yuzhang really didn't see the problem. He wrote another excerpt himself, almost copying the excerpt of Shang Shi Gong, but changed part of the wording in it, and specifically mentioned that the matter of seeds had the credit of Shang Shi Gong. More specifically, he didn't go into details. The folded seeds, the remaining six pots of potatoes, and the seeds in the storehouse were sent to the capital day and night.

The Du family is the emperor's confidant, and the folds handed over by Du Yuzhang can be sent directly to the emperor, and there is no need to worry about someone intercepting them halfway. Three days after the things were sent out, Du Yuzhang received a letter from the Du family in the capital.

In the letter he sent back last time, he mentioned the person Shang Shigong to his family, and by the way, the seeds and the grange were specifically mentioned. The people of the Du family are very smart, and after receiving the letter, they can see how much benefit this matter can bring to the Du family. Regarding Du Yuzhang's mention of his intention to recommend Shang Shigong, the Du family has no opinion.

The letter sent by the Du family this time was to commend Du Yuzhang. At the same time, let him rest assured that the things were guaranteed to be delivered safely to the emperor of the capital, and there would be no mistakes.

Du Yuzhang was actually not worried about this, but after seeing this family letter, he was more relieved.

Now, all that's left is waiting. Du Yuzhang was very anxious, and the initiator of this matter, Shang Jinxiu, was also a little anxious.

In the final analysis, she was still worried that Du Yuzhang would swallow this credit privately, and when she reached the most difficult businessman's merit, let alone meat, she couldn't even drink the leftover soup!

She waited nervously for the day, and even couldn't help but run to Shang Shigong and ask, "Daddy, will it be any good for us to hand over the things?" Is it a big achievement? ”

Shang Shigong saw her nervousness, smiled and tapped her head with his finger, teasing her: "Xiu'er is indeed a great achievement this time, tell Daddy, what do you want?" ”

Shang Jinxiu grabbed his fingers and didn't let go, so that Shang Shigong couldn't tease her anymore, and at the same time asked with curiosity on his face: "Daddy, what do you want?" ”

Shang Shigong was actually a little worried in his heart. The Gu family's affairs made him realize the benefits of power, and he now very much wants to climb up. Previously, Du Yuzhang vaguely told him that he would recommend him to succeed him as the prefect of Qingzhou, and the letter specifically mentioned it. This kind of thing, to say that you don't care about it is absolutely a lie.

Shang Shigong was able to treat it calmly at first, but seeing the days passing, his heart became anxious, and he was very afraid that something would go wrong.

What if Du Yuzhang breaks his promise?

What if Du Yuzhang recommended His Majesty and refused to agree?

What if something goes wrong on the road and can't get to the capital safely?

He was worried, but he had to keep it deep in his heart. After all, he is a man, the head of the merchant family, the pillar of the family. If he panics, what should Li Shuhua do? What about his children? Do you want them to be frightened with him?

Fortunately, Li Shuhua didn't ask him this question, and was very considerate of him, as if he hadn't heard Shangshigong mention it at all.

Shang Shigong breathed a sigh of relief, but when Shang Jinxiu couldn't help but run to him and ask, Shang Shigong became nervous again. In order to hide this nervousness, and also to adjust his mood, Shang Shigong started to tease Shang Jinxiu.

Hearing Shang Jinxiu's question, Shang Shigong couldn't help but ask her: "Xiu'er, do you want your father to be promoted?" ”

Shang Jinxiu blinked, why did Shang Shigong suddenly ask like this? Is he sure? No, she looked at Shang Shigong's appearance in the last few days, and her eyebrows were clearly a little eager and worried.

In other words, Shang Shigong himself is not sure about this matter. However, he seems to think that he may be promoted?

Shang Jinxiu's mind suddenly became active. To be honest, she really wants the merchant function to be promoted.

Although it is not cold in the high places, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree. Shang Shi Gong is now her big tree, only the higher the official position of Shang Shi Gong, her life can be more stable, and she can be more comfortable doing business, not afraid of being bullied.

Otherwise, she will have to be like Li Guangcai, she must be timid in doing business and dare not become bigger, otherwise she will offend people.

Not to mention anything else, 'Yipinxian' has only opened seven stores, and it has already been targeted by the Gu family because of its booming business. This is just someone who dares to come to the door, and the people who are red-eyed behind their backs don't know how many people have a good time.

What is this all for? Isn't it because Shangshigong is just a small county order, and the merchant has no foundation!

If the merchant function is promoted, then everything will be different!

Shang Jinxiu nodded without hesitation and asked Shang Shigong: "Can Daddy be promoted?" ”

Shang Shigong smiled and touched her head, and said, "It should be okay." Although he was not sure in his heart, he didn't want Shang Jinxiu to worry, so he deliberately said this to her.

Shang Jinxiu saw it, but pretended not to know anything, and said happily: "Daddy is amazing!" ”

Shang Shigong looked at her, and the smile on his face became a little gentler: "Xiu'er is also amazing." ”

Maybe it was Shang Shigong's gentle appeasement that played a role, and Shang Jinxiu really didn't worry about it after that. I still go to the orchard and the grange every day, and the rest of the time is either reading books, or being forced to practice by Lan Qi, and occasionally being pestered by Shang Jin'an, and living a comfortable life.

Half a month passed quickly, and Du Yuzhang sent someone to send out the things that had been lost, and finally arrived in the capital and were quickly sent to the palace.

In the Taiji Palace, after the wise and martial Emperor Taizu saw the excerpts, his face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered people to send six pots of potatoes into the main hall.

There was no way, there were too many seeds, and they were put in the warehouse for the time being.

Seeing the six pots of flowers that were not good-looking or even ugly, the faces of Emperor Taizu and all the attendants became extremely exciting. Even the imperial guards outside the palace widened their eyes in disbelief, secretly guessing if Du Yuzhang was crazy? (To be continued......)
