In the city, Liu Fan led people to inquire about the road of Zhang's Mansion while walking, Zhang's Mansion is still quite famous in this Jimo City, Liu Fan grabbed a person at random and asked, and almost everyone could answer.

It didn't take long for Liu Fan to bring people to the door of Zhang's mansion, and after some reporting, Liu Fan led people into Zhang's mansion. After hearing about Liu Fan's visit, Zhang Yiheng greeted Liu Fan very warmly to the living room. After letting the servants serve tea, Zhang Yiheng asked, "Jimin has just taken office, not long ago, how can he have time to come to see me, an old man!" ”

Liu Fan choked suddenly, secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Master Zhang is in the prime of life, how can he say that he is old!" This time I came here is my last leisure, and I remember that I haven't come to visit yet! So I came out of it! ”

Zhang Yiheng said with a smile: "Jimin, you don't tell the truth!" You came with so many gifts this time and said it was okay! I'm an old fool! ”

Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "There is no such thing!" I'm here for a simple visit! Reminiscence! After all, I don't have any friends in Shandong! Mr. Zhang is one of the few friends I can talk to! It's normal to get close to each other! Don't wronged my sincerity! ”

Zhang Yiheng laughed and said, "Jimin! Since you can afford the old man! Don't call it Lord Zhang! How old is the old man, if you don't like it, call your uncle! ”

Liu Fan felt a little unspeakably strange in his heart, not generally saying, "If you don't like it, brother Yunyun!" "How did I get to him, I became an uncle, this old thing took advantage of me, and I grew up for a lifetime in vain, Liu Fan suddenly stopped doing it, and retorted, "Huai Zhengong!" You're not much older than me, and your uncle is too old! It's better to call you brother! So close! ”

Zhang Yiheng looked at Liu Fan's tired appearance and scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head! My daughter is almost as old as you, old man! Do you still want to call it brother? I'm not afraid to lose my life! You have to call this uncle! ”

Liu Fan secretly complained, these ancient people got married so early, they were only thirty or forty years old, and the children were all adults, what a pit, and he said helplessly, "Okay!" I'm at a loss! Just call you Uncle! What's that! Uncle! You have a daughter! Can you tell me about it? Look at how talented I am! When your son-in-law doesn't lose! ”

Zhang Yiheng suddenly said angrily: "Don't even think about it! Even your tired personality wants to beat my daughter's idea! I don't want to push my daughter into the fire pit! Something to say! Fuck off! Otherwise, the old man will drive people away! ”

Liu Fan shouted: "Uncle, what you said! How can such a good young man as a boy become a fire pit in your mouth! You are slandering! Spread the word and affect my good reputation! When the time comes, if I can't marry a daughter-in-law, I will rely on your family! ”

Zhang Yiheng was choked and speechless, and said helplessly, "Okay, good!" I'm scared of you! Let's get down to business, shall we? ”

Liu Fan saw that he had admitted defeat, pouted, and said, "Uncle!" Tell the truth! This time I did come to ask for something! Recently, I sent troops to encircle and suppress all the illegal salt dealers in Jiaozhou! has controlled the salt sales channels on the bright side of Jiaozhou, and in addition to the military households who boil salt, there are only private salt merchants in Jiaozhou City! This time, I'm here to discuss with you how to solve the problem of military households! ”

Zhang Yiheng smiled and said, "Okay! I have long heard that you Liu Jimin destroyed the great line of Daqingshan as soon as he took office, it seems that the rumors are true! It's really a great joy for me in Jiaozhou! The old man has always wanted to send troops to exterminate the bandits in Daqingshan, but this matter involves the salt division, although the former deputy envoy Lu has the intention to exterminate the thieves, but there is no one in his hands, this matter has been stranded, the old man originally wanted to contact you after a while, and then our two families will join forces to encircle and suppress these bandits, but considering that first, you have just taken office and are not familiar with the operation of the salt transportation division, and secondly, Daqingshan has a large number of people and needs the approval of the imperial court. I didn't think you would do such a big thing quietly! A ragged colt may make a good horse! It's terrifying! ”

Liu Fan said humbly: "Uncle Miao, praise!" This is a matter for the little nephew! The little nephew is deeply trusted by His Majesty and entrusted with important tasks, and he must make some achievements in order to live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

On the other side, Xiao Lu ran to the backyard shouting all the way, and before he entered the door, he heard Xiao Lu shouting, "Oh no!" Oh no, Miss! Something is wrong! ”

Zhang Yao, who was reading a book, was disturbed by Xiao Lu's shouting, turned her face sideways to look at Xiao Lu, who was panting and running, and said, "You Miss, I'm so good!" You're not good! Green! How many times have I told you? You're a big girl, how can you marry someone like this all day long! ”

Lu'er was counted down by her own lady, but she didn't care, and continued to say loudly, "It's really a big deal!" Miss! I kid you not! That Liu Jimin came to our house! ”

"Come on, come on! It's not a big deal! Maybe it's because I'm visiting my dad on business! What's there to fuss about! I think it's Lu'er, your spring heart is budding, and you have fallen in love with someone! Hum! I didn't admit it last time! Zhang Yao laughed disapprecatingly

"Miss! It's not that I've taken a fancy to someone else! It's people who have taken a fancy to you! That Liu Jimin came to the old man to propose! ”

"What!?" Zhang Yao was shocked, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", Zhang Yao asked urgently, "What's the matter!" Tell me about it! ”

Lu'er gasped and said, "Just now I heard that someone came to visit the master, so I went to see the excitement!" Who knew that when I asked, it was Liu Jimin who came to visit, and I suddenly became interested and went to watch. Boy! The man brought a lot of gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, antique calligraphy and paintings, and twenty or thirty people carried them, and the whole front yard was full! When it was, I felt that there was a problem, so I sneaked into the corner and eavesdropped on his conversation with the master! At first, it was okay, but then the man suddenly said that he wanted the master to introduce his daughter to him, and said that he wanted to be the son-in-law of our Zhang family! The lord disagreed at first! Later, when I heard that Liu Fan had exterminated the bandits in Da He Mountain, I was immediately happy! Say yes in a row! What else do you say about the great joy of Jiaozhou! I don't think it's good, hurry up and let Miss know! ”

Lu'er finished the whole story in one breath, her mouth was dry, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, then looked at Zhang Yao nervously and said, "Miss! The master won't really want to marry you to that Liu Fan, right? ”

Zhang Yao frowned and pondered for a while, then muttered, "What kind of mountain? Brigand? Could it be Daqingshan? ”

Lu'er nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" It's Daqingshan! ”

"Daqingshan is right! I heard that Liu Fan has been very majestic in Jiaozhou recently, and he has exterminated many bandits and salt lords! I should have come to ask my dad for help this time! Walk! Let's check it out! Zhang Yao stood up and said

In the study, Liu Fan and Zhang Yiheng had been talking for a long time, and they only heard Liu Fan say, "Uncle!" The little nephew means that you order your subordinates to buy the coarse salt in the hands of the military households, and then the little nephew will receive the goods from you at a price of five cents per catty, of course, you will not be asked to help in vain! I will give you a premium of two cents per catty as the hard work of the brothers in the guard. In this way, not only will the military households no longer have to be oppressed by the smugglers! And your guards also have an extra income, so you have the best of both worlds! ”

Zhang Yiheng sighed and said, "This matter is very important, and I have to discuss it with my subordinates!" How about I give you an answer in a few days? ”

Liu Fan hurriedly said, "Uncle! I'm also thinking about many poor military families! To tell my uncle, I have invented a new method of drying salt! According to this method, I can get 20,000 stones of refined salt in a month, which is more than the annual output of the whole Shandong in just one month! When the time comes, where will my refined salt come out, and there will still be a way for these military households to boil coarse salt! I can't bear to see the military families being forced to lose their way to live before losing money to buy it! I have to post three articles upside down for every catty of seven wen, which is tens of thousands of taels a month! Do you think I'm at a loss? At this time, my Shihe salt field has accumulated nearly 40,000 stones of refined salt! If you don't believe it! The little nephew will take you to see it! When the time comes, you will know the truth at a glance! “

Zhang Yiheng also believed that Liu Fan would not lie to him, hearing Liu Fan so reassuring, his heart was entangled for a moment, thinking of those military households who were struggling with hunger, once they lost the lifeblood of boiling salt, where would they still have a way to live, he gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "Okay!" I listen to the people! Liu Fan was overjoyed when he heard Zhang Yiheng agree! The salt-producing area of Jiaozhou has been completely in its own hands since then!

"Wait! I disagree! There was a coquettish shout outside the door, and Zhang Yao pushed the door in.
