At the door of a huge mansion in the county seat of Changli County, a four-wheeled carriage slowly parked down.

Zhao Erhu and Zhang Hu were the first to get out of the car, and then the door curtain was lifted, and Liu Jin also walked out.

At this time, Liu Jin was wearing a coat and a square scarf, dressed like a child of a rich and noble family, plus he originally had a good skin, and the whole person looked very handsome and elegant, and his appearance was quite good.

Liu Jin got out of the carriage and took a closer look at the huge gate in front of him, the façade is very large, the threshold is also very high, to the knees of the people, the huge copper nails are arranged neatly, and the two square lion gate piers at the door make people know at a glance that this is a scholarly heirloom family.

A huge plaque in front of the door, with the words 'Zhangfu' written on it, a pair of couplets on the huge doorposts on both sides, the book and the fragrance of the hundred flavors are still in the grass, and the next door is the descendants.

"It's a bit like the meaning of the family motto, the scholarly heirloom~"

Liu Jin looked at it with interest, the ancient big families still paid great attention to these, especially some big families that could experience thousands of years have very strict family style and family discipline.

The Zhang family in front of him is one of the best families in Changli County, with many children and capable people, and it is said that some people even became officials and became a member of the third grade, which is the most influential family in the entire Changli County.

There are people in the court who are officials, and this Zhang family is naturally very prosperous, and the family power is not only all over Changli County, but even has great influence in Yongping Mansion.

In Changli County, it is definitely a proper head snake, and thirty percent of the land in the entire Changli County belongs to their Zhang family, and if you want to do anything here, it is indispensable to say hello to the Zhang family.

The Zhang family can dominate Changli County not only by relying on the large number of children of their own family and capable people, but more importantly, the Zhang family is very good at combining vertical and horizontal, and through the means of marriage, it has created a very large network of relationships in the entire Yongping Mansion and Changli County.

For the young talents emerging in Yongping Mansion or Changli County, the Zhang family has always been very willing to invest, and Liu Jin's reputation is now spreading in the capital, and it is slowly spreading back to Changli County.

Naturally, it also entered the Zhang family's field of vision, and when Liu Jin had not returned, the Zhang family had already asked someone to express this meaning to Liu Jin's mother.

Although Liu Jin was not interested in this, he still had to come to Zhang's house for a special visit after the New Year, which can be regarded as a courtesy, of course, the most important thing is not to offend this Zhang family for the time being, Liu Jin has to make a fortune from the business of snow salt.

If you offend this Zhang family, then if the other party wants to rectify himself, even if he may not be able to do anything to himself, but trouble will definitely be indispensable.

Liu Jin's arrival had already attracted the attention of the two families at the gate of Zhang's mansion, and Zhao Erhu also handed over Liu Jin's greeting post early.

Soon, Liu Jin didn't wait too long, the door of Zhang's mansion was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and a square scarf also walked out with a smile.

This middle-aged man is also very elegant, faintly revealing an atmosphere that only literati have, which is completely different from Tang Laohu's aura of exuding a burst of wealth.

"It turned out to be Liu Gongzi's visit, and he was disappointed, so please forgive me~"

This person's name is Zhang Qi, he is the head of this generation of the Zhang family, and he used to be a scholar, but he failed repeatedly after he was admitted to Xiucai's fame, and then he slowly extinguished the idea of the imperial examination, and began to be responsible for the family affairs of the Zhang family, and became the head of the Zhang family.

"I've seen Mr. Zhang~"

Liu Jin smiled and bowed slightly, it seems that although this Zhang family is one of the best families in Changli County, it doesn't seem to have the arrogance of a big family, and it is so polite to himself.

Under the leadership of Zhang Qi, Liu Jin came to the living room of the Zhang family, sat down in the main and secondary places, served fragrant tea, and Liu Jin also sent a set of four treasures of the study bought back from the capital, which made Zhang Qi very happy.

Although he is just a showman, and he has not been admitted to the fame, he has always regarded himself as a literati and likes to deal with literati.

The guests and hosts chatted very happily, but chatting and chatting naturally it was inevitable that they would talk about everything Liu Jin said on the Moon Tower, and this Zhang Qi was also very curious, so Liu Jin also told him roughly again.

"I didn't expect the world we live in to be so big, there is such a magical place in the east of the East China Sea, the gold of this Golden Continent doesn't matter, after all, this gold can't be eaten or drunk, and what is really useful to us is the three high-yield crops."

"If these three crops can be planted back to our Daming, we will never have to worry about famine from now on."

After listening to Liu Jin's narration, Zhang Qi also pinched his little beard and expressed his opinions, faintly revealing the literati feelings of worrying about the country and the people and treating money as dung.

"Mr. Zhang's concern for the country and the people is really admirable, and I only hope that this year's fleet can successfully arrive in the Golden Continent and introduce three high-yield crops back to our Daming."

Although I don't know if this Zhang Qi is really worried about the country and the people, although Liu Jin has already talked about the matter of Jinzhou and wants to vomit, he still has to accompany the other party to continue chatting.

There is no way, since it is a visit, it is natural to have a beginning and an end, and to do this scene completely, you can't be anticlimactic.

While chatting with Liu Jin, Zhang Qi also carefully observed the young man.

In Zhang Qi's opinion, Liu Jin is very steady, not at all like a young and vigorous young man with conceited talent, which makes him nod secretly in his heart.

This talented young man has seen a lot, but in the end there are not many who can really grow into a big tree, what the Zhang family needs is the kind of towering tree, because to the point of the Zhang family, it is easy to fall down if there is no big enough tree to support it.

The current Zhang family is a bit of a green and yellow feeling, there are no outstanding talents among the young generation of the Zhang family, especially in the imperial examination, the young people of the Zhang family's generation are all mediocre, and now there is not even a person who is in the middle of the examination.

This Zhang Qi also looked at it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

The Zhang family is known as a scholarly family, and it has always been a family of eunuchs, and each generation has more or less children who can be admitted to the examination, and then with the support of the Zhang family behind them, they can always mix in the officialdom.

Not to mention becoming a senior member of the DPRK, at least there is no problem in becoming a local important member, so that everything in the Zhang family can be saved.

This lack of talent is the most terrible thing.

In fact, the weakness of the Zhang family has begun to show itself in Zhang Qi's generation, Zhang Qi, as the head of the family, has not been promoted, and there is no way to be an official, and the reason why he can maintain his current influence is mainly due to those who marry the Zhang family.

Now looking at Liu Jin in front of him, not only does he have a good look, but he is definitely a potential stock, he is already famous, and he is also a famous talent in Changli Academy in the past, and the probability of winning this autumn is very high.

If he goes to high school this year and has a gold list title next year, then this Liu Jin will definitely soar, which is why he immediately came out to greet Liu Jin as soon as he heard about Liu Jin's visit.

This Liu Jin in front of him has a bright future~
