Request?

Whether it was a request or a condition, Gao Zhan's scrutinizing gaze did not take away from Chen Feng's cheeks for a long time.

"What do you want?"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Zhan may feel that it was a little inappropriate to ask such a question, so he said: "Although you are still only the county governor of Qingxi Quanzhi, but with your contributions to disaster relief, pacification of mountain bandits, digging canals, etc., when I return to Beijing, I will say a few good words to you, and it is not difficult to remove the word Quanzhi in front." ”

The so-called right to know is the meaning of temporary generation, and it is basically impossible for a person like Chen Feng, who has been in office for less than a year, to be promoted.

However, Gao Zhan's meaning is also very clear, when he returns to Kyoto, Chen Feng's qualifications to Qingxi will be almost a year, and it will be very easy to have his good words to patrol the imperial history.

Of course, Chen Feng likes to be promoted, but this is not his request.

"You think too much, I don't care if you are promoted or not,"

"And what do you want?" Gao Zhan was surprised.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "I won't tell you, I'm a greedy person, of course, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, I just want to ask you to help me get some management rights from the imperial court." ”

Hearing this, a treacherous smile appeared on Gao Zhan's face.

Of course, he didn't suspect Chen Feng because of this.

As we all know, the official salary of the Jokhang is the lowest in all dynasties, and it is impossible for the officials of the DPRK and China to just take a little money and do nothing else, which is actually a very common thing.

Moreover, Chen Feng also made it very clear that he would not do illegal things behind the back of the court.

So he smiled and asked, "What do you want to run?" ”

"Wine,"

The liquor business has always been an extremely profitable way, and since he wants to deal in liquor, he will naturally not simply operate according to the liquor of the current era, after the glass is successfully fired.

He had already instructed Zheng Du and others to create tools for winemaking, although there were already strong liquors in this era, but they were still different from real distilled liquors, and Chen Feng could also play some new tricks in fruit wine.

However, he was still looking forward to whether he could get involved in some other business, although he also felt that it was unlikely, but he still boldly said to Gao Zhan, "In addition, I want to ask if it is possible for me to touch the salt." ”

Hearing this, Gao Zhan's eyes changed suddenly, as if he was looking at a criminal who was about to rush to the execution table, "Brother Chen, are you saying such things in front of this imperial history, do you think that your life is long?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry,"

Chen Fenghun didn't care, and said with a smile: "You listen to me finish speaking, since I dare to say this, of course there is a reason." ”

"Okay, tell me your reason," Gao Zhan suddenly felt that he was too close to this guy, and he dared to ask such a thing.

"I have a way to make the salt as white as snow and as fine as sand, hundreds of times finer than today's fine salt, and it is countless times better than both the texture and taste, just a small bag is enough for ordinary people to use for months,"

Chen Feng gnawed his elbow and said calmly: "Of course, I just ask, whether the adults agree or not, I will dedicate this method to the imperial court to revitalize the country." ”

In fact, the process technology of salt production in this era has been very good, that is, ordinary people can also eat coarse salt, this coarse salt particles are larger, the taste is more astringent, but at least it will not be reduced to vinegar cloth.

And the quality of the fine salt in their mouths is quite good, of course, there is still a certain difference compared to the whitewashed snow in Chen Feng's mouth.

Therefore, when Gao Zhan heard Chen Feng's words, he didn't think much about it and felt that Chen Feng was joking, and the imperial court was quite strict in controlling the sale and purchase of salt, and the "Salt Introduction Regulations" stipulated: "The officials guarding the imperial court patrol the prisoners who have obtained illegal salt, hang!" ”

While prohibiting the smuggling of salt, the imperial court also forbade the princes and officials above the fourth grade of civil and military affairs to order their family members and servants to trade salt and embezzle the people's profits.

Gao Zhan pondered for a moment, although he felt that Chen Feng was talking big, but he would never easily deny one thing, let alone look down on a person, not to mention the existence that the person in front of him could still grow watermelons in winter.

After thinking about it, he looked at Chen Feng and said: "Brother Xian, I don't say that you also know how many guys who sell illicit salt for your brother all the way south, if you want to go through the salt, you have to follow the procedures of the imperial court, whether you can get it can only depend on your personal creation, I definitely can't help you." ”

"But if you can really make the salt that you say is as white as snow and as fine as sand, then the court will have to use you."

Hearing this, Chen Feng thought to himself, does Gao Zhan believe in himself or really doesn't have the heart to take such credit?

"I see what my brother means,"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "In this case, why don't I take my brother to open my eyes." ”

What do you mean?

Gao Zhan was slightly stunned and said, "You mean, you have already made it?" ”

This was originally a gift he was preparing to envelop Gao Zhan, a few days ago he handed over Li Zhifeng's affairs to Zhou Fu and Xu Weiyang, and he went to the glass workshop to make salt and wine.

"Of course, I can't tell you about it here?"

Gao Zhan's heart suddenly seemed to have 10,000 horses galloping by, but he still felt unbelievable.

"Let's go," Chen Feng urged as he got up.

Perhaps because of the talk of salt, Gao Zhan suddenly felt that he was hungry, and when he looked down, he found that the dishes on the table had been swept away by Chen Feng.

"You foodie," the conversation was basically about drinking and eating peanuts.

……

The glaze workshop that is a joint venture with the Su family has been expanded, and the place where Chen Feng makes salt is rebuilt and expanded.

On the way to the workshop, Chen Feng thought of Su Jinbao's identity.

Of course, he didn't say it directly, but said with emotion: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Master Su's support, I really wouldn't have the funds to engage in these things, and the previous relief to the victims was also thanks to Master Su taking the lead in donating money." ”

Gao Zhan said: "I also heard about Master Su's virtuous name. ”

"Yes, Master Su is really a strange person,"

Chen Feng always paid attention to Gao Zhan's face, and said: "In the past, Yuan Yutang in Zhou Boqian collected all the businesses that could be recovered in this county, but only the industry under Master Su's hands, Zhou Boqian was stunned and had no way,"

"I don't know if Brother Gao has heard that I took people up the mountain to suppress bandits, and I was almost buried in the fire, Zhou Boqian thought I was dead and wanted to break into my house, thanks to Master Su's righteous action, as soon as he stood in front of my house, Zhou Boqian was stunned and didn't dare to move, Brother Gao, did you say that Master Su is not a strange person."

Gao Zhan glanced at him and said, "Being able to compete with a county is indeed unusual. ”

The two also came to the door of the workshop, and Su Kezhi had already received the notice, and he came out to greet him with a smile.
