A mansion, with four high walls, and in front of the painted vermilion iron gate are two fine stone lions sitting on the tiger and tiger, and the object of the stone lion is the plaque on this gate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The five characters in the book are "Hedong Taishou Mansion".

Now the owner here is Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was very low-key along the way to serve as the Taishou of Hedong this time, and after Li Ru visited Hedong about a month ago, Dong Zhuo began to quietly go to work.

And today, in this mansion, it is full of famous families in the entire Hedong, and the last day of hoarding autumn grain has passed. All the families not only want to congratulate Dong Zhuo, but also come to ask the Wei family about the sale of refined salt.

Wei Yu's heart was bumpy, he did not kneel with his father to sit on the front desk, but knelt at the end of the hall like the entire second-generation family children in Hedong.

When he saw Li Ru, he still bowed very politely, and Li Ru at this time was still very elegant and polite. Maybe Wei Yu himself didn't know how famous he was, but how could a person like Li Ru not know what kind of magic this young man who had shocked the world in just one month?

Dong Zhuo has seen it, although he is not as fat as he was when he lived in Luoyang, but the strong tendon meat still does not affect his volume tonnage. The loose hair was draped over his shoulders, almost connected with the lush beard under his chin, even if he claimed to be a Han man, but for a long time Xiliang and Qiang people have been assimilated, and it is no longer the habit of Xiliang Wufu to tie his hair.

Dong Zhuo's majesty is still there, Wei Yu secretly glanced at Dong Zhuo during the banquet, and he was already covered in cold sweat by his eyes. The Great Demon King deserves to be the Great Demon King, no matter when he is bewitched by wine in the future, he still can't deny that he was once a hero who reigned over the world.

But these are not what Wei Yu wants to touch now, what about dominating the world, what about coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he has never thought about competing for hegemony, as long as he can keep the Wei family's family and marry a few wives to spend his life in peace, he is already very satisfied.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the succession of the supreme governor of one party inevitably gave a banquet to the families of the entire region, and these families were the beneficiaries of the interests of the region no matter who was in power. When a new Thorn Prefecture Mu Taishou took office, the most important thing for these families was to try their best to protect their family's original interests in this land, and then they installed their own family's capable people into high-level officials.

In short, in a word, I want to find a way to make the interests of my family and the supreme governor align, not to conflict, and to make money in harmony.

Maybe Dong Zhuo, who advocates force, is not a capable person in this industry, but as his son-in-law, Li Ru is a good hand in this regard, and under his arrangement and turnover at the banquet, he has basically reached a consensus with all the Hedong families.

Wang Ji, as the patriarch of the Wang family, was naturally in a high position, and after Li Ru pacified the families, he looked at the acropolis that was squinting and thinking on the side, put down the wine glass and came out.

"Lord Taishou Haihan, your head Haihan, Ji should not disturb you Yaxing at this singing and dancing event, but there is one matter related to your interests, and Ji has to mention it here."

When Dong Zhuo on the chairman heard this, he immediately inserted the knife that the meat was sent to his mouth, and slapped his palms hard, and the singers in the audience immediately dispersed as birds and beasts.

Almost all the heads of the family put down their wine glasses, although the Acropolis had been prepared, they couldn't help but be a little nervous, and Yang Liu Chengxi's father also subconsciously leaned towards the Acropolis, as if he was determined to show the position of the two families.

Li Ru still did not open his slightly squinted eyes in the deputy seat, he had already told Dong Zhuo the benefits of refined salt, in his opinion, although it was a helpless move to enter Hedong this time, but the development of this refined salt encountered halfway was undoubtedly a relief for Dong Zhuo Haoqiang.

"Presumably, everyone here naturally knows my Pingyang County Wang's industry, my Wang's green salt has been selling well in Hedong and even the world, but recently there is a more refined and best-selling salt in the Hedong market."

Wang Ji turned around and looked at the Acropolis, Yang Du (Yang Liu's father), Cheng Qing (Cheng Xi's father) took another look, and then spoke again.

"If you say who knows this refined salt best, I think it must belong to Brother Jiangming (the word of the Acropolis), Brother Changsheng (the word of Yang Du), and Brother Liguo (the word of Cheng Qing).

Half a month ago, the refined salt led by the three brothers was introduced into Hedong, and it has swept the entire market with a tornado, and now whether it is Hedong or the world, refined salt has replaced green salt as the main commodity, and the short time is really amazing. ”

"Brother Kang Yu is right." The head of the Feng family has already stood up, obviously arranged with the Wang family before, "After all, the family is not a lowly businessman, our Hedong family is in the same spirit, one is prosperous and the other is lost, so should the three brothers divide the right to sell this refined salt to all our Hedong families?" ”

Acropolis still didn't speak, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the chairman, couldn't hold back a little, and slammed the dagger in his hand into the case, "What the two heads of the family said is very true, although I, Dong Zhongying, am a remote person in Xiliang, I still know the value of this refined salt, and this kind of thing is naturally a certain family to intervene!" ”

Dong Zhuo's words have no room for reversal, and he has made it clear that he will be the role of singing black face today, and after that, there will be a character who sings white face.

And the one who sings with a white face is naturally Li Wenyou.

"My lord is from Xiliang, and the army is used to talking like this, and I hope the three of you don't suggest." Li Ru finally opened his squinted eyes and stepped off the stage.

"But what my lord said is indeed an undeniable fact, since my lord is the Taishou of Hedong, it is natural to cater to the interests of the various families in Hedong, and at the same time to regulate the contradictions between the families in Hedong, since most of the family owners present just want to obtain the right to sell refined salt, so I think the three of them should satisfy the opinions of the majority?"

Wei Cheng got up and arched his hand and began to speak, "What Li Changshi said is that even if Dong Taishou, Brother Kang Yu and others don't bring it up today, my Wei family will also bring this refined salt matter to the table." ”

After saying that, Acropolis nodded to Cheng Qing and Yang Du, and then began to speak again: "The problem of refined salt sales, after the banquet is over, the three of us will multiply the plan to your mansion, but the problem of this sales has always been handled by Inuzi Zhongdao, and how to trade still has to be decided by Inuzi." ”

These were discussed by Wei Yu and Acropolis before they came, and Acropolis was a little worried that Wei Yu would have stage fright on this occasion, but the issue of refined salt sales and distribution was a key step in Wei Yu's overall planning, and he had to say it himself.

Wei Yu finally got up under the worried eyes of his two brothers, and after respectfully saluting everyone present, he spoke: "Everyone present is basically Yu's elders, the kid is rude here, and I hope you will atone for your sins." ”

"As you just said, it is impossible for the people's important technique of refined salt to stick to the three families in Hedong, and such a technology should be promoted in the world.

And our family has been guarding a place and educating the people for generations, so this refined salt was first introduced to the family to promote the world, and the boy is also relieved to say anything. ”

Li Ru's snake-like eyes stared at Wei Yu, who barely dared to look at him, but his palms were already full of sweat.

"But how to say that this refined salt is also an ingredient invented by my Weiyu, and everyone knows that it is not easy to obtain, and the right to sell refined salt can be distributed to you, but the price must be three points higher than the green salt!"

Wei Yu slowly withdrew the three fingers that were stretched out, and glanced at Li Ru, Wang Ji and the others, wanting to take their expressions in his eyes at one time.

"Impossible!"

Wang Ya didn't wait for his father to speak, and called out directly.

"The price of green salt is well known, Brother Zhongdao's mouth is higher than the price of green salt, so some lions will open their mouths, right?"

"Who are you?" Dong Zhuo was obviously a little dissatisfied with Wei Yu's words, but compared to Wang Ya, he had long known Wei Yu, and Wang Ya was just a little-known person in his eyes.

"If you go back to Taishou, you will be in the lower Wang family's son-in-law Wang Ya, the word Ling Road."

Although Dong Zhuo's sudden outburst of drinking startled Wang Ya, after calming down for a while, Wang Ya still replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I believe that Lord Taishou also knows the price, and Wei Zhongdao's sky-high asking price can be said to be cutting off the interests of my Hedong families!"

"Brother Linglu's words are different." Wei Zhongdao was right, Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Ya at all.

"The salt ore required for refined salt purification has to be transported from Longxi, not to mention the transportation cost of the road, even if the purification process still has to waste a lot of salt ore, so the cost is far higher than that of green salt."

Wei Yu saw that most people were skeptical, so he continued: "You can ask the Yang family master about these things, because the Yang family has a strong relationship in Longxi, and the salt mines of our three families are basically collected by the Yang family, if you still can't believe the Yang family master's words, I can teach you the method of purification on the spot, what do you think?" ”

Yang Du's brother Yang Yi is the real head of the Yang family, he is very clear about the salt refining plan these days, and now that he sees Wei Yu pulling himself out, he can only nod his head to indicate the truth of what Wei Yu said.

As for the method of purification, Wei Yu is very confident that even the Wang family does not have the strength to get a large number of salt mines, and the salt mines of the Longxi generation have basically been monopolized by three. If you have to find someone with strength, it can only be Dong Zhuo, who was born in Longxi.

Wei Yu glanced at Wang Ya, whose face was flushed, and slowly unfolded the folding fan in his hand one by one, "In addition, we don't charge money for refined salt trading, only grain. If the surplus is not enough, I will also support cloth and iron to barter, and of course the price will rise by three points again! ”
