Qin Chuan and Zhang Shiheng, Min Chengjun, Li and a few people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, although they knew that Min Chengjun's banquet was to fight the idea of producing things in his factory, but he was a guest, that is, it was not good to be too cold, and it was not good to take the initiative to mention it, so as not to fall behind, so he and Min Chengjun pulled around.

During the conversation between the two, Qin Chuan mainly asked Min Chengjun about some Korean mountains and rivers. It's just that, intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Chuan only talked about Seoul, Pyongyang and North Korean royal officials, but Min Chengjun had to answer, not only did he not know how to answer very carefully, but he also said a lot of anecdotes that Qin Chuan didn't ask. When chatting with Qin Chuan, Min Chengjun's words and demeanor not only make people feel very friendly, but also humorous and funny, and there is always a feeling that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

After a conversation, Qin Chuan couldn't help but have a good impression of Min Chengjun, and at the same time, he secretly praised this Min Chengjun in his heart, this ******** seems to be not only famous, but really a character.

Zhang Shiheng seems to know the situation in North Korea very well, and when Qin Chuan and Min Chengjun were talking, he interjected from time to time to explain, and for a while he was very lively.

Through this conversation, Qin Chuan knows a lot about the situation in North Korea, not only knowing that although the Korean royal family is self-respecting at the level of a prince of the Qing Dynasty everywhere, and the royal family also has eunuchs, it is not as rigorous as the Qing Dynasty palace, and Min Chengjun, the supervisor of the internal affairs office where Concubine Min's relatives are located, has never been done by eunuchs.

Also, in the Li Dynasty of North Korea, although Concubine Min was a woman, she was smart and shrewd, and she was clever in controlling power and technology, and she could influence the government of the dynasty. It is precisely because of the presence of Concubine Min that in the court, the Min clan is very popular, and there are many relatives like Min Chengjun, the famous ones are the Korean royal official Cao Jushu Min Chang Ho, the Bing Cao Ju Min Yongshao, the Gong Cao Juju Min Zhijiu, the right council Min Gyu-ho, the Li Cao Ju Min Yongda, the Senate Internal Affairs Minister Min Yongjun, the criminal Cao Ju Min Yong-hwan, the Min family, monopolized power in North Korea, which can be described as hot.

Through Zhang Shiheng's explanation, Qin Chuan knew that the judgment that Min Chengjun said was roughly the six Shangshu of the Qing Dynasty, and the right discussion of politics was basically the deputy prime minister.

Li He didn't seem to be interested in these things, but occasionally interjected, and most of the time he was slowly tasting the roasted wine of the Joseon royal family.

After three rounds of drinking, another guy came in, removed the cold dish, and began to replace it with hot dishes, Zhang Shiheng told Qin Chuan that this hot dish was divided into two waterways.

The first eight dishes to come up are the eight dishes of water, which are clear red scale fish, steamed Jiang conpoy, boiled abalone, steamed wide belly, red stewed toad, stewed shark fin soup, steamed anchovies, and stewed skirt.

These rivers and waters are fresh, some Qin Chuan recognizes, and some are unheard of and unseen in the past life or in this life, fortunately, there is Zhang Shiheng, a "foodie" from a family, in order to let Qin Chuan fully feel his courtesy, he kept introducing Qin Chuan one by one, so that Qin Chuan, who can be said to be a person in two lives, suddenly opened his eyes.

The so-called red scale fish, also known as the spotted fish, is born in the mountain stream of Mount Tai, the body length is only about 20 centimeters, the meat is delicate, the taste is delicious, it is the unique delicacy of Mount Tai, it has the effect of nourishing the brain and moistening the lungs; Jiang Yao Zhu is a kind of mussel, similar to cow ear, also known as cow ear snail, thin shell and thick meat, delicate flesh, has the function of nourishing yin and nourishing kidney. "Jinmen Miscellaneous Songs" once had the saying that seafood is the first Jiang Yaozhu; The wide belly is produced in Zhejiang and Guangdong, with a light yellow and translucent color, which has the effect of warming the stomach and abdomen;

Zhang Shiheng picked up a Jiang Yao Zhu and put it in the mouth plate in front of Qin Chuan, and said with a smile: "Ming Hong, if this Jiang Yao Zhu has the function of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, it needs to be tasted while it is hot, and the effect will be poor when it is cold." ”

After Zhang Shiheng finished speaking, no matter what Qin Chuan was, he picked up a slender white and tender Jiang Yao Zhu and put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

After Zhang Shiheng finished speaking, Min Chengjun also persuaded the dishes again and again, watching Qin Chuan taste a few delicious dishes in a row, and praised endlessly, Min Chengjun and Zhang Shiheng exchanged glances, and Zhang Shiheng put down his chopsticks with a light knock.

"Minghong, my brother has something to ask for."

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "Here, this is about to get to the point." ”

Qin Chuan also put the chopsticks down, picked up the towel on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said disapprerovantly: "Brother Chu Bao, what else do we ask for, but it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Zhang Shiheng nodded and said: "Minghong, even if this is the case, then my brother will not go around in circles, your colored cloth, in our Tianjin Weihe Jingshi, you set the price to death, those cloth merchants see that the supply exceeds demand, but they don't dare to raise the price." But in the South Seas, it is said that the price of your colored cloth has increased several times there, and as long as a shipload of goods is transported there, it is a lot of silver flowing into your pocket! ”

"Also, the good things of the other factories that you will put into operation in a month or two are also optimistic about my brother, if you really want to be as you said, those refined salt, cigarettes, soap, cans, whichever one is shipped out, it will be all white silver。。。。。。"

When it came to silver, Zhang Shiheng looked at Qin Chuan's eyes and couldn't help but shine, as if Qin Chuan sitting in front of him was not a big living person, but a pile of white silver.

Qin Chuan pretended to be puzzled and said, "Brother Chu Bao, do you mean to do this business too?" ”

Zhang Shiheng slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Yes! Minghong, you can't let Brother Wei just watch others make a lot of money! You have to take care of my brother, no. ”

Qin Chuan pretended to be surprised and said: "The export rights of these things have already been taken away by Xiao William, Master Sheng, Wu Tiaoqing, Ye Ziqi and a few others, if you want to get a piece of the pie, then you have to find them." ”

Zhang Shiheng said with a bitter face: "Minghong, looking for them?" Isn't that a game with a tiger? The meaning of being a brother is to ask you to come forward to find them to be accommodating, and you don't want too much for your brother, you just want them to give up North Korea, North Korea is a small place, the market is limited, not to mention, they can't take care of it for a while. Of course, Minghong didn't tell them that he meant to be a brother. ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan was silent, Zhang Shiheng hurriedly said: "Ming Hong, if this matter is done, I will take this matter from Brother Ping Ping and Brother Min, and you will take forty percent of the money you earn, and the remaining sixty percent will be divided between us according to the size of the money contribution." The flat-inlaid Pingyuan, to North Korea once or twice a month, for the brother in the past few years is to use the flat-set ship to pull some North Korean souvenirs, with his ship here, we even save freight, our goods really have to be transported by the flat-set ship, that is equivalent to going to North Korea to pull silver. ”

Zhang Shiheng's words made Qin Chuan very surprised, he never expected that Li He would do this! couldn't help but look up at Li He.

Li He saw Qin Chuan looking over, smiled bitterly and was about to speak, Zhang Shiheng on the side saw Qin Chuan's thoughts, and hurriedly smiled and grabbed the conversation.

"Ming Hong, Ping Ji is very kind, helping to carry goods for my brother, but I begged for a long time before he agreed, if it weren't for his warship to buy coal and wait for the money, he would not have agreed to be a brother now."

The warships of the Beiyang Fleet buy coal, why do they have to pay for the pipe belts themselves?

Zhang Shiheng's words made Qin Chuan even more puzzled, and seeing Qin Chuan's puzzled gaze turning to him, Li He sighed and said astringently.

"Minghong, that's right. Originally, the coal used for warships was procured from the Kaiping Coal Mine by the Beiyang Battalion Office, and it was all Kaiping five-groove coal with high calorific value and strong fire, but since Zhang Yi and Zhang Yanmou, Jiangsu alternate Dao, took over the Kaiping General Office, they no longer gave Beiyang five-groove coal, and the battalion office procured back inferior coal with a relatively low calorific value. Coal is the most important thing for warships, and if the coal quality is not good, the speed of warships will be affected, and once a war starts, the consequences will be unimaginable。。。。。。 ”

Li He's words made Qin Chuan fall into a fog for five miles, isn't Kaiping Mining Bureau an industry in Beiyang?

Since it is an industry in Beiyang, why don't you sell good coal to Beiyang sailors?

Besides, what are these five troughs of coal?
