Before meeting He Wenrui and Zhou Chengyun, how to promote sweet potatoes and potatoes, but to ensure the interests of the Zhuolu trade union, has always been haunting Zhiwen's heart, but it is one of the major issues that cannot be solved for a while, I didn't expect Lord Zhizhou to visit the trading company in person, and the moment he saw Lord He, Zhiwen had an idea in his heart.

That is to let the state government as a guarantee, and even let the state government come forward to urge the payment of fees after the grain harvest, which is a triple win, and the state government, the villagers, and the trading company can all benefit.

It's just such an idea, but he can't take the initiative to put it forward, people like He Wenrui are human spirits, as soon as they meet, Zhiwen makes such a request, which inevitably makes them suspicious, and even has a mustard, which is not beautiful.

It is Zhiwen who has been doing the game.

From Zhuolu Trading Company to Zhuolu Mountain, although there is no opportunity, and in order to avoid suspicion, Zhiwen and Zhou Chengyun did not discuss in detail, and they are not clear about the purpose of Lord He's trip, but they can also guess eight or nine.

He naturally understood that the reason why He Zhizhou valued Zhuolu Trading Company was nothing more than to use the strength of Zhuolu Trading Company to help him stabilize his power in Baoan Prefecture, and even go further, passing the state capital instead of taking office, but following Zhou Chengyun to Zhuolu Mountain of Zhuolu Trading Company to inspect, which is very illustrative.

Zhiwen repeatedly mentioned the yield of sweet potatoes, the characteristics of drought tolerance and easy planting, and two harvests a year, all in order to arouse the interest of the people of Zhizhou.

With Zhiwen's temptation step by step, He Zhizhou really fell into the trap, and now he is even more like Zhiwen's wish, and he took the initiative to ask the state government to guarantee it, and was responsible for urging the payment of fees after collecting the grain, how could he not let Zhiwen blossom happily in his heart.

Zhiwen and He Wenrui have the same idea, everything is difficult at the beginning, the state capital actually only needs to do this for the first time, and in the future, it will all depend on the people's voluntary use of grain to buy seeds, and if they don't want to plant, then they can do it, but Zhiwen believes that there will be no such fools.

In fact, Zhiwen was somewhat wrong, He Wenrui finally reached a consensus with them, his plan only accounted for a small part of the credit, most of it was Lord He himself who was willing to step into this so-called trap, the greatly increased production of food, and the reputation that can be left behind in the history of Qingxi, is the real promoter, which is what Zhiwen can't understand.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the remaining details will naturally be discussed in detail by the staff masters and others of both sides.

That night, in Zhuolu Mountain, the Zhuolu Trading Company headed by Zhou Chengyun Zhiwen set up a banquet to entertain He Zhizhou and his party, in fact, this banquet should have been invited when Lord Zhizhou first came to the mountain, but at that time, things had not yet been completed, and Lord He did not have such thoughts, so he refused.

Now that his mind is over, He Wenrui has no worries, he nodded in response, and everyone in Zhuolu Mountain toasted frequently, although Lord He was not drunk, but he was also poured until the next day, and he didn't get up.

After another two days of delay, the two sides roughly finalized the details of the cooperation, the first step of which was to arrange for the official to go to Zhuolu as soon as possible, and inform the local general A to publicize the fact that the state capital would be guaranteed and the seeds would be collected free of charge at the Zhuolu trading company.

In addition to distributing seeds as promised and registering them on their own, in order to ensure a good grain yield, the Zhuolu Trading Company also needed to send experienced people out of the mountains to teach people outside the mountains how to plant, and strive to make a name for themselves in the first wave.

After all, the planting method of sweet potatoes is very different, in addition to turning the ground and fertilizing, it is still necessary to divide and raise seedlings, and it is not good to plant if you lack experience.

Two days later, He Zhizhou finally took his own people, left satisfied, and went to the state capital to take office.

There were also more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry, led by Bagen, who would escort Lord He all the way to Liangtian Tunbao, He Wenrui did not agree at first, in order to show his integrity, the entourage was scarce, and there were no guards.

But Zhiwen and Zhou Chengyun and others insisted on not giving in, He Wenrui half-pushed and half-agreed on the spot, not only were there many refugees along the way, but there were also many bandits who were scattered by Zhuolu Mountain, and finally they had a backer and allies, they didn't dare to be careless, something really happened, not only did the previous investment go down the drain, but it was also difficult for them to get away with responsibility.

"Scattered, scattered, all work!" After He Wenrui and his entourage turned around the mountain col and disappeared, Zhiwen began to drive people away as if nothing had happened, and after everyone dispersed, he grabbed Zhou Chengyun's arm.

Now Zhiwen's body shape is not much different from Zhou Chengyun, this grasp is on the inside of Zhou Chengyun's upper arm, which is the most tender and painful part of the flesh, and the pain makes Zhou Chengyun grin, "Xiaozhi, be light." ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, I made it a little bigger if I didn't pay attention." Zhiwen let go of his hand and said apologetically, "Quick, come with me, I have to ask you for advice on many things after half a year." ”

Zhou Chengyun grinned, "I also have this intention, you have gained a lot from this trip." ”

Since he and Zhiwen met in Zhuoluji, they have not been able to discuss in detail because of He Wenrui's relationship, but the increase in horses and Mongolian people, these changes can be seen by him, and he has heard some scattered information from other people's mouths one after another, Zhuolushan can defeat the bandits, relying on the sudden appearance of Zhiwen and the Mongolian cavalry led by him, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., he heard it in his heart.

Now that He Wenrui is gone, he finally has a chance, and Zhou Chengyun has planned to interrogate this kid well.

"That's not right," Zhou Chengyun moved his arms and squinted at Zhiwen, "You kid, you have always been calm and don't look like a young man, but today you are a little out of shape, something happened?" The last sentence was in a low voice, almost inaudible, so that no one else could hear it.

"It's hard to say, let's go, you and I will find a quiet room to talk in detail." What Zhiwen had been looking forward to before was Zhou Chengyun, but he couldn't talk deeply when he met, these days, he has reached the limit of patience, and as soon as He Wenrui left, he couldn't hold it anymore, because he was a little out of shape.

"A good thing, a bad thing?" Zhou Chengyun asked.

"There are a lot of good things, and there are also bad things." Zhiwen replied in a low voice.

When Zhou Chengyun heard this, he turned around and said to Si Cha, who had been following him not far away, "Si Cha, don't follow me, find something to do by yourself." ”

So far, Zhiwen has no personal servants and maids, and he wants to talk to Zhou Chengyun in detail in the quiet room, so he is naturally alone, and Zhou Chengyun consciously takes Si Cha, which is somewhat unequal, although he feels that Zhiwen will not care.

Si Cha pursed his mouth, bowed down, and went by himself, but he was a person who knew how to advance and retreat.

Zhiwen didn't care about these little things, so he took Zhou Chengyun to his living room, made a big pot of hot tea with his own hands, took two large bowls, brought them to the table, and poured two large bowls of tea for himself and Zhou Chengyun respectively.
