"Lord Prefect, I don't know why you're here?" Huang Zhi secretly glanced at Wu Zhi and asked Murong Yanda.
Murong Yanda is the prefect of a state in the end, although he is not angry in his heart, he still suppressed and said: "I heard that Mr. Huang did not let the big and small salt shops in Qingzhou City sell salt to the proud buildings of the Wuda officials, but is there such a thing?" β
"Hehe, I don't know about this." Huang Zhi shirked and said, of course he couldn't admit it, "It's just that the salt sold by this salt shop is just enough for the people of Qingzhou to withdraw, and the Wuda officials have not been in Qingzhou for a long time, and the daily salt consumption of the proud building is so large, it's not surprising that you can't buy it." β
The implication is that Wu Zhi is an outsider who deserves not to buy salt.
"Yes, our salt in Qingzhou naturally has to be used by the people of Qingzhou first."
"Maybe I'll be able to buy ...... next time"
The other members who came with Huang Zhi also chimed in.
Wu Zhi glanced at them coldly, these words were obviously farting, Qingzhou has been proud of the building for so long, why is it that Wu Zhi has run out of salt after coming over?
"Humph!"
Murong Yanda slapped the table heavily, at this time he had already understood that what Wu Zhi said was true, so there was no need to be polite to Huang Zhi, and the anger in his heart also exploded: "You don't fool me!" Will Qingzhou lack the salt of the proud building? This is obviously your personal vendetta on the basis of your monopoly on the Qingzhou salt industry, and deliberately did not sell it to the proud building! The government sends you salt to make it convenient for you to the people, but not for you to use it to play tricks, if you are so ill-intentioned, I think you don't want to send salt next time! β
After Murong Yanda finished scolding, he slapped the table again, and the people behind Huang Zhi were stunned.
Huang Zhi was also in a cold sweat at this time, although the distribution of salt was not under the control of the prefect, but this did not mean that he could offend the prefect, listening to the prefect's tone was not to help Wu Zhi intercede, this attitude was clearly to give Wu Zhi a strong head!
Huang Zhi also secretly wondered, he had investigated in advance, and the prefect Murong Yanda and Wu Zhi had met less than three times in total, so it stands to reason that there should be no friendship of this level!
"Lord Prefect, it's not that you have bad intentions, but you're just talking about business, buying and selling your own rules, and you haven't violated the laws of my Great Song Dynasty, why do you bother me?" Huang Zhi said with a smile, as soon as he finished saying this, Murong Yanda's face really changed a little.
"Huang Yuanwai means that our prefect is nosy?"
A cold voice sounded, and it was Wu Zhi on the side who spoke, he saw Huang Zhi coming out with the law as a shield, and he was afraid that Murong Yanda would waver, so he said excitedly.
"Hmph, I didn't ......"
As soon as Huang Zhi wanted to explain, Wu Zhi interrupted him, got up and said: "The prefect is in charge of Qingzhou, and the prefect has absolutely the right to intervene in all matters related to the people of Qingzhou!" You, Huang Zhi, are really brazen to use the salt of the imperial court as a means of favoritism, and to try in vain to deceive the prefect! β
Wu Zhi's tone was sonorous and powerful, his expression was impassioned, and finally he directly pointed at Huang Zhi's nose and scolded, which not only made the outsiders behind Huang Zhi secretly frightened, but also made Huang Zhi's face darken.
"Wu Zhi, you moved out of the prefect's mansion when you were desperate, what kind of ability is this?" Huang Zhi didn't speak, and an outsider behind him sarcastically said to Wu Zhi.
"Doing business in a down-to-earth manner is really not as capable as you!" Wu Zhi said sarcastically without concessions.
It seems that Wu Zhi has been too low-key during this period of time since he came to Qingzhou, which makes these cats and dogs think that Wu Zhi is weak and easy to bully.
"If you can please move me, it's a great skill!" The prefect here also seemed to be infected by his teammate Wu Zhi's domineering momentum, he also stood up, pointed at Huang Zhi and the others with his finger, and said sharply: "You guys listen to me, this Qingzhou is still up to me after all, as long as I am in office for a day, you will not break the salt of the proud building!" Not only can it not be broken, but the best fine salt must be delivered to the door of the proud building every month in the future! β
After Murong Yanda finished speaking, he approached Huang Zhi and continued: "Huang Yuanwai, do you see if you can accept my proposal?" If you can't, it doesn't matter, I can send officers and soldiers to your salt shop to fetch it!" Although the tone was gentle, it was full of naked, naked threats!
Wu Zhi was also overjoyed when he saw this, this Murong Yanda was very skilled in doing this bullying thing!
Huang Zhi's face was already black and blue, but although his chest was undulating, he still lowered his head and replied in a deep voice: "What the prefect said is that he made a mistake in making a decision at the next moment, and he will definitely deliver the salt to the door of the proud building on time in the future." β
Wu Zhi looked at Huang Zhi's bulging fist, sneered secretly in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Huang Yuanwai, don't worry, our proud building is not a small shop, and we will definitely give you silver money at the market price!" β
"Hahaha! So much better! The two of you must be in harmony in the future, and you will be good friends with each other, and it will not be in vain that this government came here to reconcile today! Murong Yanda had a harmless smile on his face again, and he hugged Huang Zhi and the others: "Then we will leave, remember to send the salt later!" β
After speaking, Murong Yanda signaled to Wu Zhi, and the two of them both left the Huang Mansion.
"Mr. Huang, this ...... Do you really want to deliver salt to the door of the proud building? After the prefect left, everyone approached Huang Zhi and asked with an ugly face.
"Humph! It's just a prefect! How dare you dictate in front of me! Huang Zhi gritted his teeth hatefully, and just when everyone was secretly expecting him to have some tricks, Huang Zhi suddenly deflated: "...... Let's send it over......"
Everyone was cold, and they were all helpless immediately, Qingzhou is still the largest prefect in the end, who dares to offend him!
"It's just that what means did this Wu Zhi use to make the prefect willing to personally help him in this troubled water?"
"I'm afraid I gave a lot of silver, right?"
"Well, it should be no less than a lot of lots!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the box of the proud building, Murong Yanda was munching on the salt-baked chicken in his hand with a happy face, and this salt-baked chicken was an authentic salt-baked chicken from Pan Jinlian's hand.
"Ah~delicious~ I suddenly found that I was happier to eat this long-lost salt-baked chicken after I was hungry!" Murong Yanda groaned with a prodigal face.
"Hehe, in the realm of eating, I'm afraid there is no one who can compare to the prefect!" Wu Zhi smiled and continued: "Thanks to the help of the prefect this time, Wu Zhi will send a thank you gift to the adult's mansion later, don't shirk it!" β
When the matter is done, some money will still be given.
This Murong Yanda laughed harmlessly, but Wu Zhi also saw that he was not a mediocre person, and he was also very smart, and it seemed that being able to become a prefect was not just as simple as relying on a strong backstage, and it always didn't hurt for Wu Zhi to have a mixed relationship with him.
"Brother Wu, you don't have to be so polite, that Huang Zhi is covering the sky in Qingzhou City with the support of a big salt merchant behind him, I already want to treat him! Besides, let's meet each other so late, I won't help you help anyone, no need to prepare gifts, just invite me to a few more meals! β
"That's a must! To tell you the truth, I also have a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu at first sight when I see adults, and I feel like I am reunited after a long absence......"
β¦β¦
The salt crisis was perfectly solved, and the five bodies that were admired by their big boss up and down were proudly thrown to the ground, and in the Qingzhou business community, Huang Zhi's deflated hands in Wu Zhi's hands were quickly spread, and in addition to shock, many businessmen had a new understanding of this low-key and mysterious young businessman.
β¦β¦
Looking forward to it, looking forward to ...... Xiao Rang is finally back!
Xiao Rang brought back a person, it was his little jade arm craftsman, Jin Dajian.
For Jin Dajian, of course, Wu Zhi had to personally set up a banquet for him, and long before Xiao Rang went to invite Jin Dajian, Wu Zhi had already prepared a mansion for him.
There are only three of them, Wu Zhi, Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian, and it is a very secret thing to invite Jin Dajian this time, after all, as long as the newspaper is born, it will quickly rise into an industry with huge influence, and Wu Zhi is hidden behind the scenes, so it will be more convenient to control.
"Master Jin, I have often heard Brother Xiao mention you for a long time, and I have always admired you very much!" Wu Zhi poured a glass of wine for Jin Dajian and said with a smile.
A few polite words at the beginning are also the meaning of the question.
Jin Dajian has a strong figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide face and a wide mouth, at first glance, he is a calm and honest person, seeing Wu Zhi's identity personally pouring him wine, he held the wine glass steadily, opened his mouth, but didn't seem to know what to say.
"Come, Master Jin, I'll give you a drink!"
After drinking a glass of wine with Jin Dajian, Wu Zhi looked at Xiao Rang on the side, and said to Jin Dajian: "Master Jin is the person recommended by Brother Xiao, and I, Wu Zhi, will also treat you as my own brother, presumably Brother Xiao also told you, this time I invite you to come, not to let you participate in the restaurant business, but to have another important responsibility!" β
Jin Dajian looked at Wu Zhi with straight eyes, and replied with his fists in earnest: "Thanks to the appreciation of the Wu officials, no matter what kind of work, I will definitely do my best." The tone is smooth and simple, and there is a unique style of an ancient craftsman in his speech and demeanor, which is worthy of being a craftsman!
"Well, this important task has a great connection with Master Jin's craftsmanship, and it must be you!" Wu Zhi nodded, and then slowly asked him, "I don't know if Master Jin knows about movable type printing!?" β
"Movable type?" Hearing Wu Zhi's question, Jin Dajian was stunned, and seemed to be very unfamiliar with movable type printing.
Seeing Jin Dajian's reaction, Wu Zhi also secretly wondered, everyone in later generations knew the four major inventions, and movable type printing is one of the important ones, Wu Zhi remembered, movable type printing was also invented by Bi Sheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is the era of Song Shenzong, which belongs to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Master Jin, aren't you the best at carving seals, so you should have carved engravings for others, right?" Wu Zhi asked, the engraving is a template for printing.
Jin Dajian nodded and said, "I have carved a lot of engravings, and when I was in Jeju City, several large printing workshops asked me to engrave engravings. β
"Did you go to the printing workshop...... Have you ever worked? Wu Zhi continued to ask.
"Not really, I only occasionally help them carve, and after the engraving is completed, it can be reused an unlimited number of times." Kim Dajian replied.
"Blame ......"
After asking Jin Dajian a few questions, Wu Zhi couldn't help frowning, hasn't movable type printing been invented, why do printing workshops in this era still use the time-consuming and labor-intensive backward printing technology of engraving?
