The wealthy merchants drank all the water first, picked up the bowl full of brown rice slowly, raised their chopsticks to pick up the wild vegetables, and ate the dishes in front of them little by little.

Fang Jin's gaze was like that of a wild wolf foraging for food, and occasionally a wealthy merchant made contact with his gaze, and immediately avoided it, as if he had encountered a fiery red soldering iron.

Some are slow, some gobble, some frown, and some look the same.

Fang Jin memorized the faces of these people one by one, and when everyone had eaten clean, he turned around and went downstairs.

When they received the invitation post, these wealthy businessmen knew that this meal was not simple, and after eating brown rice and wild vegetables, the more they felt that it was a Hongmen feast. General Pingyu's dismount was nothing more than the silver they had hidden in the cellar.

Fang Jin returned to the mansion and told Zhai Zhe about the tables of the wealthy businessmen one by one.

Zhai Zhe listened carefully and got up to go out.

In the restaurant.

More than 20 wealthy businessmen looked at the empty bowls placed in front of them, and some people saw that there were still a few grains of rice on the wall of the bowls, and hurriedly glued them with chopsticks and put them in their mouths. General Pingyu's meal, who dares not to give face.

There was another sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase, this time the footsteps were very soft and steady, and just by listening to the movement, you could know that the main master had arrived.

All the wealthy merchants turned their heads curiously to see what the rumored General Pingyu looked like.

Zhai Zhe was dressed in a cyan robe, with a black waist knife hanging on his waist, walked up the stairs, and said calmly: "Everyone, fortunately!" ”

More than twenty wealthy businessmen all stood up from their seats and bowed their hands in return, "Meet the general!" ”

Fang Jin walked quickly, picked up a chair and placed it beside Zhai Zhe.

Zhai Zhe sat down peacefully, pointed to the empty bowl on the table, and asked with a smile: "This meal, it's hard to swallow!" ”

The rich merchants didn't know what to say, but it was quiet in the restaurant, and a fly fluttered its wings and buzzed.

"These are the dinners of our sergeants." Zhai Zhe put his right hand on his knee, "Don't hide it from you, I invite you here today because I have something to ask for." ”

More than twenty wealthy merchants, some looking down at the table and some staring at the empty plate in front of them, were all ready to go to the bloodletting. Looking at the formation, General Pingyu was not satisfied, and they could no longer leave this restaurant.

"You have been wandering in the mall for many years, I don't know where I came from, I don't know if you know?" Zhai Zhe was quite patient, spoke slowly and reasonably, and asked and answered himself, "I was born in the Zhai family of Wangshun Pavilion in Shanxi, and the shopkeeper of the Shang League, Liu Zhang, was the owner of Hu Kou Dexiangkui. ”

"I come from a business background, so I know how difficult it is for you to do business abroad. Please rest assured that I am not inviting you to eat to help you eat. Zhai Zhe raised his hand and asked the man to step forward and pour water into the bowls of the merchants.

The wealthy businessmen looked at each other, and the bold dared to look at Zhai Zhe.

"I have two businesses to look for!" Zhai Zhe stretched out two fingers, and then pointed to the empty bowl in front of everyone's eyes, "There is no shortage of food and grass in our army for the time being, but those righteous troops gathered outside the city will soon not even be able to eat this." For this business, I want to find someone to cooperate, I will settle the silver at half price first, and I will use the land endowment of Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion as collateral, and pay it off within five years. ”

Speaking of business, the eyes of these wealthy businessmen suddenly lit up, and some began to whisper.

"There's another business, I'm going to find someone bold to work with!" The smile on Zhai Zhe's face was unfathomable, and his voice did not fluctuate a little, "General Pingyu's Mansion has a War Bureau and an Ordnance Bureau in Ningbo Mansion, providing armor, weapons, bird guns and firearms for the army. Some people make silk, some people make porcelain, some people make tea, some people do salt business, so do anyone want to do the business of weapons? ”

There was a buzz in the restaurant, and it wasn't just a fly flying.

"You hire your own craftsmen, and the armor and firearms you make will be purchased with cash in the General's Mansion, maybe you won't make money this year, but sooner or later you will be able to make money." Zhai Zhe opened his arms and continued: "Your weapons making workshops can be placed under the name of the Pinglu General's Mansion, and there is no need to worry about violating the imperial court ban. ”

The voices of the wealthy merchants grew louder and louder, and some people even quarreled in small voices.

Zhai Zhe got up and said, "I invite you to discuss here for half an hour, and after half an hour, those who don't want to do business with me leave on their own, and those who want to cooperate with me come to the backyard of the prefect's yamen to find me." ”

Zhai Zhe got up and just wanted to leave, a businessman who was sitting in the crowd and did not show his eyes, looked not very old, and his face was a little pale, stood up and arched his hand: "Hu Guanghou in Xiajixi, I am willing to serve the general." ”

So fast, it seems that there are still talents among Hui businessmen. Zhai Zhe waved his hand, "Think about it again." ”

Hu Guanghou was afraid that Zhai Zhe would leave, so he stepped forward in a few steps, spoke hurriedly, and said: "There is no need to think about it, what the general has done is a major matter for the country and the people, and it is related to the dress and etiquette of my Han people. ”

Zhai Zhe looked at him carefully and saw that Hu Guanghou's body was thin and weak, and his face was not vigorous, like a seedling that had grown poorly in the dark for a long time.

"You come with me, I come!"

In the eyes of everyone, Hu Guanghou followed Zhai Zhe downstairs.

The two talked as they walked, and there were guards on the street along the way, and they couldn't see a single citizen.

"Which business do you want to do?"

Zhai Zhe is tall and has a big pace, Hu Guanghou is thin and short, and he has to trot to keep up with Zhai Zhe's footsteps. He hesitated for a while, his tone was a little hurried, and said, "I want to do both businesses!" ”

"No, you can only choose one or the other."

Hu Guanghou didn't speak for a long time, and finally pressed his lips and said, "Then I'll make weapons!" ”

Zhai Zhe turned his head to look at him and asked, "Do you know weapons?" Do you know how many processes it takes to make a Qi knife, and do you know how much rough iron it takes to cast a bird gun? ”

Hu Guanghou shook his head, "I don't know!" ”

"Then you dare to do this business, you know, making weapons is not a small amount, there is no more than 100,000 taels of silver to lay the foundation, and you can't even touch the door."

Hu Guanghou bit his lip and asked, "Aren't the War Bureau and the Firearms Bureau under the General Pingyu's Mansion?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhai Zhe showed an approving expression.

"No one has ever dared to do weapons business in Daming, even if you want to rely on me, wouldn't it be safer to supply me with grain and grass?" He put away his smile and spoke sharply.

Hu Guanghou's face was embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal, and made a generous statement, saying: "For businessmen, you should dare to be the first in the world." I may not believe it when I say it, I am willing to cast weapons for the general, not just to make profits, the general with the strength of Ningshao, alone to resist the Jiangnan Qing army of more than 100,000 troops, and then into Huizhou, to save the people in the fire and water, even if I am bankrupt for the general, I am also willing. ”

He took off the bun on his head, and sprinkled his scattered head on his shoulders, "The crown on my head can be testified, the general can't see the full seat, and there are only three or four people left?" ”
