Fa Zheng's action is very strong, just do what he says, the sea ship ran for a month, arrived at the coast of Qingzhou, after landing, the herald sent Fa Zheng's letter to Langya County Ling Mengda.

Meng Da suddenly got Fa Zheng's letter, and after reading it with curiosity, he was suddenly surprised.

Fa Zheng, this kid, really deserves to be a friend for many years, and he thinks about his old brothers and old buddies when he has good things!

Should I say it or not, the news of Fazheng came quite timely.

Langya County was damaged more in the previous Dutian Rebellion, and there were many local landlords and officials who colluded to raise troops to make a rebellion, and resisted the system of Tian Order, resulting in a lot of casualties.

Seeing the destruction of the agricultural harvest, many farmers were very sad, and now they can only look forward to the transfer payment from the imperial court to help tide over the difficulties.

Although the transfer payment will definitely come, Meng Da is also a young man, and he also has the heart, and he also wants to do something by himself, do something eye-catching to make a meritorious contribution or something, and most importantly, he also wants to be promoted.

He also wanted to be a county guard, even if it was a county guard in a remote place, just like his friend Fa Zheng.

He asked himself that his talent might really be inferior to Fazheng, but it wasn't any worse, the two played together with their bare butts since childhood, and they knew each other's strengths and weaknesses, he felt that although Fazheng was excellent, he Meng was not an ordinary person, etc. - for example, he Meng was very rich.

His father Meng Tuo was the first important person to help Liu Bei sell salt and Liangzhou specialties, and he was also a great contributor to helping Liu Bei open up sales channels in Guanzhong, and he himself could enter Liangzhou Academy to become one of Liu Bei's disciples, also for this reason.

Even Fa Zheng was able to enter Liangzhou State School together at that time, because of this relationship in his family.

Later, Liu Bei's status and power became bigger and bigger, but he still took the same care of the Meng family, and Meng Tuo also worked hard to help Liu Bei promote the process of the entire salt trafficking business, from Guanzhong to Hebei, from Hebei to Kanto, all the way to the Yangtze River.

In this process, Meng Tuo has made great contributions.

Therefore, after Liu Bei became the emperor, he appointed Meng Tuo as the second person in charge of Shaofu, specializing in salt sales, although Meng is no longer the super big landlord he once was, but in business, Meng's family business is still very prosperous.

Therefore, Meng Da may not be as good as Fa Zheng in terms of ability, but in terms of money, Fa Zheng is the one who is inferior to Meng Da.

This time when it comes to making money for development, Meng Da smelled the smell of progress and thought that this thing could be operated and pursued.

Now the imperial court is using money everywhere, almost everywhere is like a bird waiting to be fed, stretching his neck and opening his mouth wide to ask Liu Bei's father for money, if he, a small county magistrate, can find another way to make money by himself, wouldn't he be the most beautiful one among a group of birds?

At that time, after the end of the term of this county commander, it is not unthinkable to be promoted to the title of county guard.

With such political ambitions, Munda was ready to act.

It just so happened that the former Langya County Warden Gu Yong had just been requisitioned back to Luoyang to serve as the left waiter of the household department, which belonged to Gao Sheng, and now the appointment of the Langya County Warden has not come down, the so-called no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is the overlord, Meng Da contacted He Zhi, an old classmate who also served as a county commander in the county, and the two decided to take a hand and get on the line with Fa Zheng.

If this relationship is hooked, there will be a lot of money to be made in the future, organize the relevant production units in the county to negotiate orders and prices with Fazheng, as long as the price is right, then start working, supply to Fazheng, and let Fazheng bear the transportation costs.

If this old boy is unwilling, then we can post a little, but in terms of profit sharing, we must not be polite to the little old man, and we should ask for more.

This old boy is one after another, he belongs to the master who will never suffer, and he is polite, that is, he is sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, which is really unnecessary.

Meng Da understands Fa Zheng and knows that this kid has a good face and a black heart, good grades, many eyes, and a fast brain, and is very good at adapting measures to local conditions, studying the benefits with one mind, and he is brave like a warrior who first ascends to the good things, and he will be invisible for things that are not beneficial.

Therefore, there must not be any shame or shame in dealing with him, because this kind of thing is not possessed by Fazheng, and when you communicate with him according to universal social morality, you will be happy to count the money for him when he is sold, and only morality above the average line of human social morality that abandons everything can barely stand on the same level as him.

Speaking of which, He Zhi is quite grateful to Fazheng.

At that time, there were a lot of exams in Liangzhou Prefecture, the requirements were very strict, and the questions were also very difficult.

Thanks to Fa Zheng, who was the first student at that time, he opened a small stove for them and helped them with after-school tutoring, so they were able to step on the passing line and fly at a low altitude, which was a thrilling leap.

Now that he can do the county order, to be honest, if you want to say that without the credit of Fazheng, He Zhi's conscience will not be able to get over.

But Meng Da severely stopped He Zhi's attempt to repay the favor.

"That kid will never do good things for no reason, that is a person who will not suffer, he helps you, he must have his ideas, if he doesn't know what he is today!"

He Zhi's eyes widened.

"He was even today? Is he a man of God? ”

"I can't tell, I'm not sure how smart this kid is."

Meng Da sighed: "Anyway, my father sighed many times, saying that if Xiaozhi was his son, he would wake up with a smile in his dreams." ”

He Zhi nodded.

"In this case, I have to help him even more, it's nothing to be taken advantage of by him, as long as he can bring me when he has good ideas in the future, Zijing, don't worry too much about you, your family is so rich, do you care about this?"

Meng Da was stunned for a moment.

"I ...... I'm not caring about the money! I'm fighting for a breath! ”

"What's there to fight about? The opportunity is given by filial piety, and the method is also thought out by filial piety, let's just drink soup in the back, and I want to eat meat, it's too unsophisticated, in the end, it's a fellow student, atmospheric! ”

He Zhi patted Meng Da on the shoulder and left with a smile.

Meng Da was stunned for a while before realizing that Fa Zheng is not only smart, but also a first-class good at buying people's hearts......

Fa Xiaozhi, you guy, are you also counted?

However, the latter two still acted separately, and each contacted the good merchants in the lacquerware, porcelain and silk industries in their respective counties, and made some contact and understanding with them.

Subsequently, Meng Da sent someone to tell Fa Zheng about the relevant news, and also sent some samples, put forward their output and quotation, and said that as long as Fa Zheng agreed, he would send someone to discuss in detail, and when the conversation was almost done, he could start drying.

Of course, the transportation costs are mainly borne by Fazheng, and they do not bear the transportation costs.

Fa Zheng got the news after more than 20 days, and laughed for a while, knowing that Meng Da must be willing to borrow his east wind to make a lot of money, but old classmates and old friends, it is nothing to let him earn a little, as for the extra cost...... Let the stupid foreign merchants with a lot of money bear it.

Seller's market, what's the matter, we have the final say.

Fa Zheng took the samples given by Meng Da to the foreign merchants who were interested in buying them, and these merchants were surprised after seeing them, saying that what they saw more than ten years ago was such a high-quality commodity, and if Fa Zheng had a source of goods, he could provide them with a large number of them, and they would accept them all.

The price is negotiable, if the money brought is not enough, they immediately send someone back to raise funds, gold, silver, or copper, they can provide it, but Fa Zheng is willing to sell.

There are also some people who directly ask Fa Zheng about the news of Shu Jin, wanting to know if Fa Zheng can get Shu Jin, even if it is only a little bit.

Shu brocade?

Do you want Shu brocade?

When Fa Zheng heard this, he laughed and said that Shu brocade is not cheap, if you want to buy it, I can find a way to operate it, but what about this price......

Maybe it's more expensive than gold.

As soon as these businessmen heard that Fa Zheng could get Shu Jin, their eyes immediately turned red, and they immediately patted their chests and said that as long as they can get genuine goods, the price is not a problem, and they are not afraid that your price will be high, but they are afraid that you have a price and no market!

Fa Zheng looked at their anxious appearance, and muttered in his heart-

The high-level magnates of the Han Dynasty want Shu Jin to save face, to show their identity, to pretend to be forced, and even to sacrifice We have this social atmosphere and tradition of pretending to be forced, is it possible that you people also have it?

Do you also want to use Shu brocade to force it?

Fa Zheng doesn't understand it very well.

But since they are willing to pay, Fa Zheng is not ambiguous, who is not happy to make money, if he can sell Shu brocade more expensive than gold, that is also his ability, isn't it?

And it's hard for others to say that there is a way to get Shu Jin, but he really has the law.

Shu brocade is a special monopoly in the Han Dynasty, which can only be sold by the imperial court, or to be more precise, only the Shaofu system controlled by Liu Bei.

The Shu brocade trade leads directly to the emperor Liu Bei himself, and it is still an important new currency anchored by the price of military money, and ordinary people want to get the supply of Shu brocade to sell privately, so don't even think about it.

After the transformation of the entire Shu brocade bureau, it is a subordinate institution of Shaofu, and the entire production line of Shu brocade, from raw material planting to finished product manufacturing, and even to professional weavers, is strictly controlled.

The whole process from the manufacture of Shu brocade to the sale is not open to the public, and if you want to reach in, you really have to risk the three clans.

But when it is Fa Zheng's turn, the situation is different.

First, Fa is Liu Bei's disciple, this aspect of the relationship is relatively special, and as a county guard, Fa Zheng has the qualifications to directly report to Liu Bei and go directly to the heavens, he can directly tell Liu Bei his thoughts and let Liu Bei make a decision.

Second, his good friend and half-brother Meng Da's father Meng Tuo served in Shaofu and was still a key official in Shaofu, even if he was not directly responsible for Shu brocade trade, it would be easy to contact Shu brocade and Liu Bei.

So Fa Zheng is really not pretending to be forced.

After determining that the foreign merchants had such an urgent need, Fa Zheng sent someone to officially submit the table to Liu Bei and directly follow Liu Bei's relationship, and at the same time sent someone to tell Meng Da the news of the trade and let him operate it.

In addition, Fa Zheng also deliberately talked about this Shu brocade matter, saying that if he couldn't persuade Liu Bei, he would let Meng Da say that his father would blow the wind to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei would realize this important market relationship.

If Shu brocade can be sold at a price higher than gold, then not only Rinan County, but the entire Han Empire can make a lot of money in this regard, and it should also be an important supplementary means for Liu Bei, who is now scattering coins across the country, right?

Now in the period after the rebellion of the Dutian Decree, Brother Liu is bleeding his little brother everywhere, although the eldest brother has a large amount of milk and can bear it, but if there is a little brother who can milk the eldest brother in turn, the eldest brother will definitely not refuse, right?

In addition, in addition to these traditional commercial relations, the foreign merchants who came to Rinan-gun also made a special request for a trade with Fazheng.

They took a fancy to the iron pot that Fa Zheng and others brought to them from the north when they came from the north, and they brought it as a cooking utensil, hoping to buy the iron pot in bulk and bring it back for use, but they didn't know how much it would cost.

The previous month, these merchants had paid a considerable amount of taxes to the government, and Fa Zheng invited these merchants to the county guard for a light meal in the spirit of bringing more people to send money after making friends.

Of course, the food is stir-fry.

Since Fa Zheng has eaten too much stir-fried vegetables, he is not used to eating those dull soups and soups in the local area, and prefers to eat stir-fried dishes with fierce ingredients, especially in places like Rinan County, if the taste is not heavy, it is even more difficult to swallow.

So he invited the merchants to a light meal at his house.

As a result, these guys were fascinated at that time, and asked Fa Zheng again and again how to make the food, Fa Zheng was very proud, and called the chef in the house to show them the kung fu of the eighteen fried dragons on the spot, and they were dazzled.

After that, these businessmen probably fell in love.

In the trade request, these merchants said that they did not have such sturdy and easy cooking utensils, they only had pottery that was relatively easy to break, and it was easy to encounter bumps in the process of sea business, and it was very inconvenient to store these fragile cooking utensils, and if they were not careful, they would be broken to the ground.

Therefore, in extreme cases, they can only eat raw fish, crabs and other things that they have caught, and they cannot make a fire to cook, making them like wild people.

The iron pot used by the Han people is very strong, it is a very good iron product, and the capacity is also large, it can cook a large pot of food at a time, enough for several people to eat, they have never seen such a product, they want to buy it back and use it.

Fa Zheng was still a little surprised at the time, but he immediately thought that it was only a matter of the past few years that the Great Han Kingdom began to use iron pots, and there was really no such thing before.

It is said that the iron pot is a by-product produced by the blacksmiths of the imperial court when they improved the iron-smelting process, and it was first promoted in the army, and soon won the popularity and love of the army, and the first batch of stir-fry chefs were born in the army's firehead army.

Later, the process of the iron pot matured, and it began to be promoted to the people, and now the folk in the Jiangbei region have begun to use the iron pot on a large scale, and "frying" as an emerging cooking technology has gradually been popularized and liked by many people.

And it is said that Emperor Liu Bei is a loyal lover of stir-frying, and the cooks in the palace are basically the holders of the technique of the eighteen stir-fry of the dragon.

The food in the palace was said to be so popular that many officials were willing to stay and work overtime at night just to get an extra supper provided by the imperial court.

In order to have a free breakfast in the morning, some officials also rushed to the palace early, or simply set up a bunk at their place of work to cope with the night, anyway, they could eat a delicious and hearty breakfast, which is a beautiful thing.
