"Uncle, you're here."

Liu Wen hurriedly stood up from his chair as if he had seen a savior, and his previous defense against Wu Zheng was obviously gone in a moment.

There is no way, he, who was regarded as a wise man by his brothers at the beginning, is now a complete joke in front of this uncle. As for his original fear that a powerful uncle would take away Seinfeld's power, but now he thinks in his heart that this is the master! You have to have a man to be suitable.

Wu Zheng smiled: "What's the matter, Uncle Liu, seeing that you are always worried, is it possible that you have encountered something troublesome again?" ”

Liu Wen rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that my uncle will laugh, at the beginning, my old man was anxious and asked the brothers to make another batch of salted fish, which is two hundred catties." Now that we have discussed how to deal with the surnamed Tian, the salted fish made here ......"

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "It is naturally not suitable to transport the salted fish made here back to the mountain, as for how to sell it, Uncle Liu, I heard my grandmother say that this Yuzhou City seems to have teeth!" Why don't you try it in a dental shop? ”

"Tooth line? That's right! How did the old man forget those tooth people. ”

Looking at the smiling Wu Zheng, Liu Wen couldn't help but blush, he actually had to trouble his uncle for such a simple matter, it seemed that he was old.

Wu Zheng smiled: "You are always used to doing business with that surnamed Tian, and it is normal to not think of it for a while." By the way, I brought the horse today, and Uncle Liu has to find his brother to go back to the mountain to report the news, this matter should not be delayed. ”

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it is another day, the winter sun refuses to come out, and a medicine bowl in Tian Bangzhou's house flew out first.

The housekeeper trotted along the rain corridor, ignoring the group of warlike maids and servants outside the study, and raised his feet into Tian Bangzhou's study.

Looking at the medicinal juice that had been spilled on the ground, he jumped cautiously, and when he came to the desk, he was in front of Tian Bangzhou, who was furious, and he didn't speak, but he heard Tian Bangzhou slap on the table and said, "Don't say that the refined salt of that dog thing hasn't been refined yet." ”

The housekeeper couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, that's right, Zhao Yi has refined dozens of pots in the past two days, and the taste that comes out is no different from the first pot.

Tian Bangzhou looked at the housekeeper with a bitter face and didn't speak, knowing that his expectations had been disappointed again, he slapped the table angrily and said, "Dog, I don't want Lao Tzu to be good!" Doctor Huang told me to quit my anger recently, otherwise this disease will not be good. But with this dog thing, Lao Tzu can not be angry with him, he is already burning high incense. ”

"Master, why don't we see out of sight?"

Tian Bangzhou glanced at the housekeeper, and sat down on the chair again, not knowing what he was thinking, touching his fists, his thumb kept rubbing his index finger back and forth, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart.

The housekeeper glanced at it and then bowed and said: "Although it is said that one or two refined salt is a measure of gold, but according to the old slave, although this refined salt is good, it is not something that everyone can refine, as for that Zhao Yi is just a fool who has been calculated, how can he know such a core secret of Shenmu Village." ”

Tian Bangzhou leaned back in his chair and said, "But I'm still a little unwilling!" ”

"The old slave is bold, don't we make the same money by buying and selling salted fish! As long as we hand over the surname Zhao to Song Da's family, it is not impossible for the two of us to release their suspicions. ”

Tian Bangzhou waved his hand and said, "If it's really just for money, I don't need to worry so much, let's tell you the truth!" A few days ago, the marching army of the right guard, Lord Sima Zhou, came to Yuzhou again to raise salt for the army, you said that if we can send this recipe for refined salt, what a great credit it must be? Let's not talk about sealing the wife and the shadow, it's no problem to ask for a loose official! ”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, merchants are cheap, although they have thousands of family wealth, but their social status is not as good as a mud leg who gouges in the field, and the most important thing is that because of their low social status, they will be restricted everywhere in the process of doing business.

For this reason, they have to send money to the government, or simply attach themselves to the powerful and turn their business into the business of the powerful, otherwise the business will not be able to do it in the first place.

Gradually, they felt that they were a fat pig raised by those powerful people, and when they wanted to eat meat that day, they would come over and slaughter Lao Tzu. And those who hang their business in the name of the powerful will also be worried all day long, in case one day the powerful people they are attached to turn their faces, and the world that they have worked hard to fight with their ability will have to be handed away, and there is no place to reason.

But if you can get mixed with an official body, then the situation will be different, and your social status will suddenly change from low to superior, and then you won't need to give gifts anymore, and you won't need to hang your business in someone else's name.

This is also why Tian Bangzhou knew that Zhao Yihe would not be able to make refined salt, but he couldn't make up his mind to hand him over to Seinfeld to release his previous suspicions.

Because he knew that no matter how good his relationship with Shenmu Village was, Seinfeld would not be able to sell him this secret recipe for making salt.

The housekeeper didn't think about it so much, because no matter how big his master's official position was, he was still a housekeeper.

However, he was very interested in the fact that Sima of the marching army of the Right Wuwei came to Yuzhou to raise salt, and couldn't help asking: "The marching Sima of the Right Wuwei came to Yuzhou to raise salt, is it going to be a fight again?" ”

The west of Yuzhou is Chengdu Mansion, and the west of Chengdu Mansion is Tuguhun, and the housekeeper used to be a person from Chengdu Mansion, but he couldn't stand the fact that Chengdu was fighting with Tuguhun every year and was defeated every year, so he fled to Yuzhou with his parents.

It is precisely because there are many people like housekeepers that this has created the prosperity of Yuzhou City and the decline of Chengdu Mansion.

Today's Chengdu Mansion has long been no prosperous in history, but a military town, the right Wuwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty is stationed there all the year round, as soon as the housekeeper heard that the marching Sima of the right Wuwei came to Yuzhou to raise salt, he couldn't help but subconsciously think of the hellish scene in Chengdu Mansion whenever the left Wuwei was defeated.

Tian Bangzhou smiled bitterly: "Who knows? Anyway, it is impossible to hit our Yuzhou. ”

Tian Bangzhou said it easily, but he didn't see that his housekeeper had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and there was no way that this was the shadow in his heart that fell from his heart.

The housekeeper said with a smile: "What the master said is right, although the right Wuwei is defeated every year, but our Yuzhou mountains and rivers are far away, and those mud valley war horses can't run." ”

"Is the surname Zhao still pretending to be an uncle recently?" Tian Bangzhou suddenly sat up and asked.

"This ......"

Tian Bangzhou slapped the table and came up angrily, and said angrily: "At the beginning, we politely invited him into the mansion, thinking that he could make refined salt for us." Now that he can't make it, why should we look at his face? ”

"Is the master worried that he is hiding his secrets?"

"It's not that there is no such possibility, people are used to a good life, and it is easy to forget what their surname is, and I now feel that we used the wrong method at the beginning. A dog like him is only insatiable, and where can he be grateful to Dade? ”

The housekeeper nodded: "Don't worry, master, as long as the person surnamed Zhao really knows the method of salt making, the old slave has a way to let him say it." ”
