A steaming hot pot made everyone praise, but the big people who could sit at the table were not wine bags and rice bags, so they would not ignore the intention of the beacon business because of the food in front of them. Although Shen Yue did not say it explicitly, it must have something to do with the hot pot he specially prepared.www.biquge.info

"Shen Dongjia, this mutton hot pot is really enjoyable, fresh and spicy, with endless aftertaste, I have eaten all the dishes in the rivers and lakes in the next country, and this time I am the most comfortable. There is also a restaurant under the lower business, I don't know if I can teach me the practice of this hot pot, and I wish to pay a lot of money. A chubby middle-aged man was the first to stand up and asked.

"Yes, this kind of food will definitely be very popular, I also have an inn winery in Linxian, Shen Dongjia can also help out." Many people echoed the words, seeing that the weather is getting colder, if they can taste a little wine and eat a warm hot pot, how carefree it is, they are all good at business, and naturally predict that this hot pot will have a big market in the future.

Shen Yue saw that the atmosphere was warm, put down his chopsticks, and looked at everyone with a smile.

"This hot pot is actually not difficult to make, I want to have fun with everyone when I think about this dish, and this method can be shared for free, but if it is popularized in large quantities, there is a difficulty that is not easy to solve."

When a few people heard Shen Yue say that he wanted to grant the method for free, they were a little happy at first, but he turned to the difficulties and was a little puzzled.

"The difficulty that Shen Dongjia is talking about refers to this mutton? Our Han people are mainly farming, cattle and horses are treasures can not eat, pork shabu is not tasteful, only this mutton is the most palatable, now the north has just been pacified, and the trade with the herdsmen on the grassland has been broken for a long time, the supply of mutton is a big problem. Gu Mingzhi stood up and asked.

Shen Yue nodded secretly, Gu Mingzhi was the trust he had arranged in advance, and he stood up and cooperated just right, and the analysis was straightforward, everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard it, most of them made their fortunes through north-south trade, so they naturally knew the stakes.

"What Brother Gu said is exactly what I'm worried about, if the delicacy of this hot pot is missing mutton, I'm afraid it will be greatly discounted, for today's banquet, I spent a lot of silver taels on these muttons alone, if this problem can't be solved, I'm afraid this hot pot will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice."

Gu Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, and he said happily,

"I have a proposal below, I want to discuss it with everyone, since General Chang is also here, why don't we ask him to lead troops to escort and re-establish the trade routes in the north, not only to get mutton from herdsmen, those cattle and horse skins are urgently needed in the mainland, and the tea and spices we sell back after going south also need to be exchanged with there."

Everyone was told by his proposal to the heart, there was no way before, so they had to live here, since Shen Yue has connections in the army, Chang Mao was also invited over this time, presumably it is this plan, it seems that this time it is really not in vain, they have some hot eyes, look at Chang Mao, and wait for him to respond.

Shen Yue stabbed Chang Mao, who was still swallowing the sea, and said in his heart that this guy was really blind to his own hard work, and he came here to patronize and eat, I don't know if he can play well before.

"Well, this one, this matter still needs to be studied by the peak, the imperial court has sent this general to garrison the border here, and the duty of defending the territory is the top priority, not to mention that now that the war has just passed, there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and I am afraid it will be difficult to divide the troops before the imperial court transfers it." Chang Mao wiped his mouth full of oil and water, and said in an official tone.

Ouyang Chen heard some taste on the side, it seems that these people today are all drunkards, and they don't mean to drink, no matter what, after all, they have mixed in, and it is also the right time to get some people's hearts, and he lifted the wine jug and poured it for Chang Mao.

General Chang's words are wrong, the so-called soldiers do not necessarily have to rely on war, when Li Tang created the Zhenguan prosperous era, he encouraged trade with those Hu people, so that not only the imperial court obtained the required military horses, but also attracted the surrounding Yi people. The shortage of money and food in the army is not a difficult thing, all of you here are loyal and patriotic, if you can open up the business road, a little **** capital should not be a problem. ”

Everyone was overjoyed to see that the county order also stood up to help, this Ouyang Chen was demoted from the south to this, everyone thought at first that he was a bit bookish and looked down on the people in the north, so they had little contact with him, but they didn't expect him to be so reasonable at this dinner, and he would have to make friends well in the future.

"What Lord Ouyang said is reasonable, although we businessmen are cheap industries, but we are also for the court to communicate with the world, communication is not, the difficulties of the court are our difficulties, we can't chill the hearts of the soldiers who are enthusiastic about the country, we are willing to pay money and food to support."

Gu Mingzhi clenched his fists and spoke loudly, and his demeanor of the rise and fall of the world was vividly interpreted by him, if it was placed in the future generations, it would be more than enough to get an actor, Shen Yue couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

When everyone saw that a leader had come forward, they also responded one after another, and compared with the huge benefits brought by trade, the money and food of these soldiers were not worth mentioning.

"Although this matter is feasible, there should also be a charter, the army is the important weapon of the country, and the public cannot be abolished for private purposes." Shen Yue saw that everyone was a little anxious, and hurriedly raised his hand to suppress the scene, he didn't want to be a pioneer in the collusion of the military, government and business to make profits.

"It's better to open up a trade route for the first time, please ask General Chang to send some military horses to escort you, and when you get in touch with those herdsmen and tribes, we will establish a mutual market outside the city and invite them to come to trade, so that the army only needs to send a small number of men and horses to maintain order, and the army and the government can collect some taxes and silver from it, which is also justified, and saves outsiders from making noise."

Ouyang Chen originally wanted to come over to support the scene, but he was overjoyed when he heard Shen Yue's suggestion, if he could establish a mutual market here, he should have the opportunity to show his ambitions, and let those small and medium-sized people look at him, he is by no means incompetent. Although it is quite difficult to establish and manage this mutual market trade, it can't stand the relationship between Shen and Yue, there are emperors and Yan kings in the court, and Mu Ying and Chang Mao in the army are friendly with him, and these merchants are now also looking at him, so why worry about it, and hurriedly added,

"Shen Dongjia's method is very good, the participating merchants can first raise funds and hand them over to the government, and the government will come forward to communicate with the court and the army, and establish trade routes and mutual markets, so it is reasonable, and it will not take long for our Wei County to become a rich place in the north."

For Ouyang Chen's positive response, Shen Yue had expected that he was not only quick-witted, but also a responsible official, and this time he was invited over in the hope that he could be this intermediary, although the financial power would be controlled by the government, but in this way it could also avoid many sensitive issues.

"Since everyone is looking forward to it, we are not unreasonable, so let's run for you." Chang Mao stood up and drank it all with a large wine bowl.
