Sure enough, the meat show is coming!

Hearing Ba Shi ask this, Xiao Zheng smiled.

He gently put the wine glass on the table, arched his hand and said, "I can't hide it, there is a really new method of making salt below."

After listening to this, Ba Shi glanced at Ba Zhongshi, and this guy immediately stood up, holding a glass full of wine and said: "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and when he was in Hangzhou, he was disrespectful to adults, please Xiao Gonghaihan."

Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Mrs. Ba first smiled and said: "You kid, if Xiao Gong is more serious than you, why did you come to my house to treat the old man and go to the banquet as Xiao Gong."

Xiao Zheng and Ba Zhongshi touched their cups and said to Ba Shi: "The old lady's eyes are really like torches, although this method of making salt was created by me. But Mr. Keba forgot, although salt is available, where can I find so many people to sell it? This salt is no problem to sell in Hangzhou, Jiangnan and other places, but there is no advantage at all when it comes to Shuzhong or Nanzhao. It's just that the price of the salt I made is so low that Mr. Ba is scared, and it is difficult to shake the thousand-year-old foundation of the Ba family in a short time!"

Ba Shi sighed with emotion and said to his three sons, "Did you hear that? One by one, they boasted that it was difficult to meet opponents in the shopping mall, and what Xiao Gong did in the Northland at that time reached the ears of the old body, and you were still not convinced and wanted to compete. Now that Xiao Gong has just made a move, you are all like a great enemy, fortunately Xiao Gong did not take you as an opponent, otherwise, hehe, the old man will see that you would have been defeated a long time ago."

In the face of their mother's reprimand, the three of them looked at each other for a while, and no one knew how to speak with their heads down.

Looking at the scene a little embarrassed, Xiao Zheng picked up his glass and said to Ba Shi: "Don't be angry for the time being, the old lady is not a sage, who can do nothing, and besides, it is the duty of a businessman to protect his own interests, what is wrong, has the old lady ever heard of the "Patent Act" issued by the court?" ”。

Hearing Xiao Zheng's words, Ba Shi said with a smile: "I don't know about such an important thing for a business, and I also heard that your Xiao Gong has played a big role here."

"That's natural, because Zai and the businessmen are closer, and some imperial historians are not less impeached, and they can't get along in the capital, and they will go far away from the south of the Yangtze River."

"Xiao Gong is not even afraid of 200,000 Turks, he will be afraid of the impeachment of some imperial historians, since he is a tiger, why bother with dogs barking."

Hearing Ba Shi say this, Xiao Zheng also secretly admired this old lady, there are not many men with such knowledge, no wonder she can take charge of this rich family with the power of a woman.

"Since the old lady mentioned the patent, I also have an idea below, that is, I want to resell this new method of salt production, I wonder if the old lady is interested?"

Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, the three Ba brothers suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in their hearts, they knew too well the profits in this salt, when the Ba family received a letter from Ba Zhongshi from Hangzhou to report Xiao Zheng's salt price, now the Ba brothers still feel afraid in their hearts.

If it weren't for Xiao Zheng's prominent status, the Ba family would have at least a dozen ways to make him disappear from this world. Now seeing that Xiao Zheng took the initiative to cooperate, how could this not make his Ba family overjoyed.

Ba Shi glanced at his three sons unhappily, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know how Xiao Gong wants to cooperate with the old man, I would like to hear about it."

"Xiao is willing to hand over this method of making salt to the Ba family without reservation, but the profit in it is definitely much higher than the profit you transported from Shuzhong to Jiangnan and the Central Plains.

Ba Shi pondered for a while and said: "It stands to reason that Xiao Gong's condition must be said to be generous, with all due respect, why doesn't Xiao Gong earn a profit for himself?" ”

Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "The old lady is also a fast talker, the world is bustling for profit, and she is not a noble and unclean person, how can she not know that this money is a good thing?" It's just that my Datang is now like a milk tiger out of the mountain, and the people of the world are extremely poor, how can I eat enough with just a few books of sages? It would be more practical to let the people have more copper money in their hands to buy some rice and grain."

After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, Ba Shi's face also showed a look of emotion, and said: "So far, the old body is really convinced by you Xiao Gongxin, what you have done The old body just heard that the Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan is eye-catching, and the old body is still a little hesitant, but today Mr. Ting is facing such a heavy profit temptation, although he does not have Huang Zhong Dalu's words, he is concerned about the people of the world, and he deserves to be worshiped by the old body."

I saw that she also struggled to get up from the chair with an excited look on her face, but she sat back under the persuasion of several people, and sat on the chair and bowed to Xiao Zheng very formally.

"But old man, I also have a condition," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Xiao Gong, please speak," Ba Shi said with a smile.

"Is there a caravan of the Ba family's salt to go to Nanzhao and Tufan, please tell the old lady truthfully."

Ba Shi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said to Xiao Zheng: "If someone else asks the old body, he will definitely deny it, and you Xiao Gong will not hide it when you ask the old body, my Ba family is indeed active in Tufan and Nanzhao in the two caravans."

"Thank you, old lady, I don't mean anything else in this question, I just want to ask the old lady's caravan for a favor, I want a map."

"Maps?" Asked in a word, Ba Shi was a little confused.

"I need the people of the old lady's caravan to pay attention to every route of Nanzhao and Tufan, remember the customs and customs of the places they pass through, and get as much information as possible and accurately, this is not in a hurry, as long as the old lady instructs her subordinates to pay attention as much as possible."

"This condition is not difficult, the old body should respond!" Bach said with a smile.

"The old body also has an idea, I wonder if Xiao Gonggan is interested?" Bach said with a smile.

"Old lady, please speak!".

"The rich Xiao Gong in Shu has already seen it, if Xiao Gong has any way to make money in Shu in the future, can you tell the old body one or two first, the Ba family has no other skills, but there is still a bit of a foundation in this business, if Xiao Gong is willing, my Ba family is willing to partner with Xiao Gong, just like the chamber of commerce in your Hangzhou group. The Ba family still has some weight among the merchants in Shuzhong, I don't know if Xiao Gong is willing."

After listening to this, Xiao Zheng laughed and said: "I also have this intention when I came here this time, the old lady will not let her eyebrows, and the hero will see the same."

The two of them picked up their glasses, touched them, drank them all, and then looked at each other and laughed.

Removing the remnants of the table, Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Ba Shi: "Old lady, this method of making salt is directly handed over to your second son, but let's talk about individual ways to make money."

Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, the three brothers of the Ba family suddenly looked at Xiao Zheng with bright eyes, if this uncle wants to say that it is a way to make money, it is indispensable to make money.

"It's the wine we just drunk, what does the old lady think about this wine?"

"Xiao Gong's wine is named after His Majesty, and the wine of Xiao Gong that my family bought is also extraordinary," Ba Zhongshi replied.

"There are a few places in Shuzhong, the rice produced is sufficient, and the river water is sweet, if you use the wine-making method I created, the wine produced is a hundred times better than the current wine, I don't know if the old lady is willing to make wine."

Thinking of the several famous wines in the later generations, Xiao Zheng's saliva almost flowed out, and now it would be stupid not to take advantage of this opportunity.

"! With you Xiao Gong in front, what is my Ba family afraid of? It's just that you Xiao Gong must take half of the profits, otherwise my Ba family will not be able to sleep well, and I would rather not get involved in this industry", Ba Shi said very solemnly.

"I promise this!" Xiao Zheng replied.

"Five days later, I will go to the old lady to inspect the house, and then I will inform you of the selected location and the method of making wine."

"Xiao Gong, it's better to be like this, now that the Yuan Day is approaching, then my Ba Mansion will also invite the famous people in Shu to come to the mansion for a banquet, if Xiao Gong is not suspicious, can you drink with the famous people in Shu on the Yuan Day?"

"I'm going to do this!".

"Welcome!" Bach said with a smile.
