Hearing this, Gao Feng said in his heart Sure enough, Gu Zheng, like other officials, likes this kind of quick success and quick profit.

Come to think of it, salt mines are fast-acting, highly profitable, and risk-free, so it's strange not to choose it.

Then Gu Zheng said: "Gao Gongzi must have a salt mine here, we naturally believe it, but the area in the north of the city is very large, and I really don't know where to dig it is appropriate, and I ask Gao Gongzi for guidance." ”

Although Gu Zheng said yes, Gao Feng still heard that he was skeptical. No one has found a salt mine here for thousands of years, and we all have to believe what you say as a hairy boy, I really don't know if you are smart or we are stupid.

Fortunately, only a very small amount of manpower is required in the early stage of mining, which can be said to be very small, that is, the mine cannot be dug up, and the county government and Gu Zheng can also accept it.

Of course, inviting Gao Feng to give advice, Gu Zheng still has a careful mind. There is a salt mine in the north of the city that you proposed in public, and it is not an exaggeration to let you participate in prospecting, so it may get twice the result with half the effort, and the most important thing is that if the movement is big and you can't find the mine, you will naturally have a scapegoat.

Knowing Gu Zheng's thoughts, Gao Feng was still not worried, there was no doubt that there was salt in the north of the city, he didn't believe that the salt mines in the later generations were brought about by geological changes, and the salt mining area was hundreds of square kilometers, and any place could be dug out, but it was a matter of depth. Of course, in order to help Gu Zheng build up his confidence, he still decided to set the excavation point at the mining point in the future.

Seeing that Gu Zheng had already asked someone to bring a map of the whole county, this map was much more detailed than the one given to him by Li Qikun, Gao Feng looked at it for a while, and pointed to a place seemingly casually and said: "Dig from here." ”

"Shizhai!" Gu Zheng and Wang Jie glanced at each other and nodded their heads.

It is located in the middle area of the north of the city, thirty or forty miles away from the county seat, and it is acceptable to excavate from this place.

Gao Feng didn't dare to say much about mining, there was no prospecting instrument nowadays, and he was not sharp-eyed, and he would only arouse suspicion if he said it too accurately. Therefore, when he pointed out the location of the mine, he appeared to be careless, and when someone asked afterwards, he could excuse himself by saying that it was a mistake.

His point of view is: salt is there, believe it or not, how to dig it is up to you, as for the size of the salt mine, the depth of geometry, the detailed location, etc., he will not say a word.

"Lord Wang, since Master Gao said that he is here, you will immediately arrange for someone to go and try to dig it." Gu Zheng confessed.

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Wang Jie then went out to make arrangements.

"My lord, there is something I want to trouble the county government to help deal with." Watching Wang Jie go out, Gao Feng said without losing any time.

Doing you such a big favor, although I haven't seen a shadow yet, it has already made Gu Zheng start to get excited, as a mutual condition, it shouldn't be too much to ask the county government to help deal with something.

Gao Feng understands very well that his casual finger is not given for nothing, Gu Zheng will definitely settle on this finger in the future, and Gu Zheng will naturally not refuse to make a request at this time.

"What's the matter with Mr. Gao?" Gu Zheng asked kindly.

Gu Zheng really did not refuse, which also verified Gao Feng's guess.

"I want to sign a purchase contract with the Dong family manor, and I want to trouble the county government to deal with it, and-" Gao Feng replied.

"This is what the county government should do, it's not a trouble, since the Dong family has moved away, the local security chief also needs to be replaced, so it will be served by Gao Gongzi." Before Gao Feng finished speaking, Gu Zheng interrupted him and said.

Gu Zheng has experienced too many things like this, and Gao Feng knew his intentions as soon as he opened his mouth, and he agreed without the other party saying anything. Relative to salt mines, this is nothing.

"Thank you so much, sir." Gao Feng hurriedly got up and thanked him.

It's not a matter for Gu Zheng, but it means a lot to Gao Feng, this is the key point for him to implement the next step, and it can't be done without the nod of the government.

Gao Feng understood the land policy of the Song Dynasty, which implemented the land policy of "no establishment of the land system" and "no suppression of annexation", that is, the government did not strengthen land ownership measures, did not use the political power to force land redistribution, and at the same time did not interfere in the development of private ownership of land, and maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards the free sale and annexation of land.

However, the land system and laws of the Song Dynasty were very perfect, and the government imposed strict penalties for the illegal sale of land and the sale of land without permission. "All thieves and sellers of the land will fight a hundred, and those who have stolen heavy goods will be allowed to steal, and they will be guilty of the same crime." Therefore, the purchase and sale of land requires the approval of the government.

Moreover, Gao Feng also wanted to get the appointment of the security chief, relatively speaking, this article was more important, so he asked Gu Zheng to talk about it.

At this time, making this request, both parties take what they need, which can be regarded as a transaction, and Gu Zheng will certainly not refuse.

With Gu Zheng's nod and approval, Gao Feng has put his mind at ease, and then as long as the formalities are completed, he can be regarded as a well-known chief and landlord, and his pace of development will be much faster, at least it should be okay to catch up with Li Qikun within a year.

This matter came to an end, and Li Qikun brought up the matter of wine again, and Gu Zheng was also interested in this, which was another big part of the money.

After negotiation between the two sides, it was finally determined that the government would produce koji and come forward to buy grain, and the investment, brewing and sales would all fall on Li Qikun, and the dividends would be shared equally between the two parties. As for the profit distribution between Li Qikun and Gao Feng, the two of them were private, and Gu Zheng didn't know about it at all.

"Gao Gongzi, I heard that the sofa you made is good, I don't know when I will be able to see it." After talking about everything, Gu Zheng asked.

This person's magistrate is not in vain, he is so well-informed!

"I want to give a set to the county government, but it will take some time to send it, so I didn't dare to mention it, I don't want adults to know about this matter, it's really wrong." Gao Feng hurriedly responded.

When he said this, Gao Feng laughed in his stomach, it was because he had no place to find the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it, Gu Zheng's introduction came too timely.

"I really want to buy a set of gifts, but it's in the inner courtyard, and Gao Gongzi will handle it at the price when he arrives." Gu Zheng corrected Gao Feng's misunderstanding.

You can't even pay a bribe if you want to, are you so positive? Gao Feng couldn't help but wonder.

The overall impression of Gu Zheng, who has been in contact with him in the past two days, is still good. He is indeed kind and has a very unique vision, although he sometimes attaches great importance to some interests, but he also does things for the government and the people, and his approach is understandable.

But once it came to self-interest, he politely refused, could it really be that he misunderstood him?

However, is Gu Zheng really like this, or does the peak on the surface not go to his heart, what if it is good or not? Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with yourself. The most important thing is that Gu Zheng's answer is out of his own calculations, although the sofa can be advertised in the inner courtyard, the effect is much smaller, what kind of price should he be given?

"Since adults need it, then it will be twenty hangs at cost price." Gao Feng said.
