Early the next morning, Tang Hua took Dian Wei and five hundred 'night eyes' to Yecheng in Jizhou, and after arriving at Yecheng, Tang Hua and his party ran directly to Zhen's mansion, and the guards of Zhen's mansion immediately let Tang Hua and Dian Wei and more than ten 'night eyes' go in, and the other 'night eyes' lurked around Zhen's mansion.

After Tang Hua and Master Zhen met the ceremony, and introduced Dian Wei to him, after sitting down, Master Zhen said: "Ziyi, I didn't see the wrong person, you are very capable, in a short period of time, you will be under the system of annexing the state, now you are a feudal official, I heard that the emperor is now handing over the entire north to you to manage, this is amazing, its area is so large, the territory is so wide, it is the territory of several states can not be compared." ”

Damn, the Zhen family's intelligence is too powerful, and even this kind of secret information of the court that has not yet been made public can be so clear, it is conceivable that the strength of his family is too strong, and the intelligence network system in his family's hands is definitely all over the world, and even infiltrates the high-ranking officials, nobles and ministers of the court and the central government in various places.

Tang Hua smiled reluctantly and said: "Master Zhen said that he laughed, the northern lands are all barren land, what is the use of a large area, the key is to have a population, and I have not controlled the north so far, there are still hundreds of Tartar tribes in the north, such as the Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu, and Karasuma, which have not been wiped out, and it will take some time to completely eliminate those Tartar tribes, and it can even be said that I may not be able to eliminate them all, does Master Zhen believe that I will definitely be able to eliminate those Tartar tribes." ”

After listening to Tang Hua's words, Master Zhen laughed and said: "If others say that they are incapable, I believe it, and if An Min says that he can't completely control the north, then the old man will be skeptical." Others are not optimistic about you, I am indeed optimistic about An Min, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor has no good intentions in letting Ziyi send troops this time, and it is obviously to weaken An Min's strength. Once An Min takes Hedong, Pingyang, and Beidi first, its strength will be raised to a higher level, and its defense capability will be greatly improved, which means that the Tartars in the north are basically finished. ”

His grandmother's, the dead old man is too powerful, even I Lu Ning can guess what I want to do, I really deserve to be the head of the Zhen family, it's a pity that the old man has such a big family property, and now there is only a little granddaughter Zhen Mi left.

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Master Zhen, my Tang Hua's achievements today are inseparable from the support of your old man, the people of Yanmen can survive that is also the merit of Master Zhen, take a step back, half of the development of the state is the credit of Master Zhen, here I want to thank Master Zhen." ”

After speaking, Tang Hua bowed to Master Zhen and made a big salute.

Old Man Zhen didn't expect Tang Hua to think like this, this is fundamentally different from the official government in other places, although this person is a high-ranking official, he has kept the grace of dripping water in mind, and my Zhen family is also to make money. If it were other high-ranking officials, they would not think like this, they would always think that they deserved it, and they would not feel any gratitude.

The old man said to Tang Hua very modestly: "This is where the people are talking, my Zhen family has also made a lot of money, we should say that it is mutually beneficial, and we must not say that my Zhen family has any credit." The disaster victims and refugees in Bingzhou were all resettled by Anmin, and the development of Bingzhou was also led by Anmin and taken appropriate measures. ”

The old man is good, he is not the kind of person who is proud of his achievements, he is proud, this is the master.

Tang Hua said: "Old man Zhen, I know very well that if it weren't for the grain and iron ore that your Zhen family funded at the beginning, I would have been able to resettle so many victims and refugees, even if I had the heart to resettle, I wouldn't have the ability to resettle." Besides, without the support of your Zhen family, the products I produce would not be so popular, and the sales volume would not be so large, which is very important for the economic development of my jurisdiction.

It is precisely because your Zhen family has sales outlets all over the world, and we can make our products sold all over the world, not only we make money, increase taxes, but more importantly, solve the employment problem of the people, so that more people can make money by working in the factory to support their families, your old man is immeasurably meritorious, I don't know what others think, but I sincerely thank you old man. ”

After hearing this, although the old man Zhen was very modest on his lips, he was still very happy in his heart, after all, everyone likes to listen to sycophants, and Nairen's sycophants will never be worn.

"An Min won't leave the army behind and come here to praise the old man, right? I know you have a lot of things to do, and you're very busy, so you're welcome, just say anything straight, if I can help you, I'll help. Old man Zhen said.

As soon as Tang Hua heard this, he stopped going around in circles with the old man, so he said directly: "Old man Zhen, I came to your mansion this time, first, to thank you for your support and help to me, and on the other hand, I want to discuss a few things with the old man to see if there is a possibility of cooperation between us." ”

Old Man Zhen said: "Say, An Min, what is the matter?" ”

Tang Hua said: "Old man Zhen, you have already helped me buy the South and North Long Islands in the East China Sea, and I want to cooperate with your family there to build wharves on the South and North Islands." ”

When Old Man Zhen heard this, he glanced at Lu Ning, and thought in his heart: Build a wharf on South and North Long Island, where there will be no ships that will be anchored there, and if there are no ships to anchor, then there will be no business opportunities on South and North Long Island, this investment is not a waste, and it cannot produce any economic benefits, is it necessary for me to cooperate with you.

Old Man Zhen then asked: "An Min, you still have to make it clear, what is the use of building a wharf there, the key is that after it is built, will there be a return in that place?" I'm not optimistic about it, do you think there will be a ship going there to anchor? ”

When Tang Hua heard it, the old fritters were really old fritters, and they couldn't eat them at all. Of course, making money is the nature of businessmen, this is not wrong, Tang Hua looked up at him and said: "Old man Zhen, rest assured, our investment will have a very high return, because to build a large wharf, it is not a day or two to complete, and after we build it, we will sell the wharf, of course, the price will be very good, and we can also get rich returns." ”
