"Huh?" Huo Guang looked at this person who was dressed differently from normal people with a puzzled expression.

He looks like he is in his fifties, the skin on his face is very rough, as if he has been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, he is shriveled, his hair is messy, and his beard is still clean.

Although the city does not pay much attention to personal appearance, only the outcasts are as disheveled as he is.

"What, don't you believe me?"

Huo Guang nodded firmly: "Well, I don't believe it." ”

"I am still a guest of the Sang family, and I am also a stylist, named Gan Fu, who once accompanied Zhang Qian to the Western Regions."

"Really?"

"Nature is true."

The two talked for a few words, and the flow of people walked forward, Huo Guang wanted to continue talking to him, but the others had disappeared into the crowd, and Huo Guang had to shout to the crowd: "See you in Sangfu." ”

came to the gate of the Sang Mansion, Huo Zhongru and his son were invited in, and Huo Guang looked at the two steel horses with longing, so he had to follow in first.

There was still an endless stream of people at the door of the Sang family who wanted to go in to visit, but Sang Hongyang met with the Huo family's father and son first.

After sitting down, Sang Hongyang directly began to get down to business: "Ah Guang, I have seen your pearl salt, it is of better quality than the tribute salt used by the emperor, I originally planned to come to you to talk about our cooperation in the production of this salt, and yesterday I received a letter from Ah Jin saying that you are interested in cooperating with us, which is really good." ”

"I heard that the Sang family has a salt farm in Jiaodong, if you want to cooperate, I hope to start from the production link, the Sang family salt industry as a separate part, financial independence, make money, I want 30% of the net profit."

Now that he has started to talk about business, there are not so many vain things, Sang Hongyang has no aversion to Huo Guang's straightforwardness, but appreciates his lack of stage fright.

"Thirty percent of the net profit, this is not a small amount."

"The production of pearl salt, as long as the Sang family can keep it secret for a period of time, not even for a year, half a year or so, it is enough for the Sang family to capture all the shares of their peers, this is not a business grab, this is a natural replacement for better commodities for low-grade commodities."

"It's easy to say, it's hard to do, from production, transportation, sales all aspects are facing competition, cut off people's financial routes, people must try their best to fight against me." Sang Hongyang expressed his worries.

"The head of the Sang family will never back down because of these things." Huo Guang said very firmly.

If Sang Hongyang was a person who was afraid of things, he wouldn't be able to walk the way he is now.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, I cooperate with you, but you have to go to Jiaodong in person and teach us the people of the Sangjia Salt Farm how to make it, I have to ensure that the production process of pearl salt is only in our hands in a short period of time, and the longer it drags on, the better." Sang Hongyang very readily responded to Huo Guang's request for three percent.

Because Sang Hongyang made up his mind to dedicate the pearl salt to the emperor, he wanted to let the pearl salt replace the original tribute salt, and if it succeeded, the future sales of pearl salt would be extremely huge.

Moreover, as Emperor Wu's financial adviser, the emperor has complained to him several times, because the tax evasion brought by the salt private is serious, and the emperor wants to do great things, he needs money, so the emperor is now thinking about controlling salt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, others will be afraid of the power of the Son of Heaven, but Sang Hongyang knows that this is also a greater opportunity for him to do.

Emperor Wu never hated merchants, he just hated disobedient, wealth-accumulating, and businessmen who didn't contribute to the country, and he understood this very well.

If you are a very obedient businessman, Emperor Wu doesn't mind that your business is bigger, that is, when you pay for the military, remember to take the initiative to share the worries of the Son of Heaven.

Sang Hongyang has a lot of money, but he is not satisfied with the position of waiter.

Personally went to the Jiaodong salt field to teach the salt-making technology, which is also reasonable, Huo Guang nodded and responded, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and thought that Sang Hongyang would bargain, but he never expected it to be so refreshing.

"Ah Guang, when can you leave, I can send a small team to escort you."

"As soon as possible."

"Oh yes, Ah Jin will go with him, too."

"Huh?"

"She went to see the sea."

She better really go to see the sea.

Huo CD calculated that if he went to Jiaodong, that is, the coast of Shandong, how could he take a few months, for fear of missing the day when Huo Qu came back from illness.

But after thinking about it, Huo Quai's illness went to surrender, and he came back with so many people who surrendered, and he must have walked slowly, and he should be in time to catch up.

The matter discussed went very smoothly, and Huo Guang also signed a contract with Sang Hongyang.

The Sang family is more formal than he thought.

After Sang Hongyang signed it, he laughed and said, "Today is a happy day, Ah Guang, I'll introduce you to someone." ”

As he spoke, he strode to the door and beckoned, and Ganfu, who was on a tall cane, walked in.

As Gan Fu walked in, Sang Hongyang opened his mouth to introduce: "This is my guest and my very good friend, Gan Fu, he once followed Zhang Qian to the Western Regions as a translator, and only the two of them came back that time, and at the same time he is also a very rare stylist. ”

Huo Guang said in surprise: "Is he really a stylist?" ”

"Naturally, yes, the horses in my carriage today are made by Ganfu, and they can travel thousands of miles a day."

Confirmed by Sang Hongyang, there was no doubt about Ganfu's ability, Huo Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, and someone who could answer the doubts in his heart appeared.

Sang Hongyang continued: "Ah Guang, I see that you are interested in mechanical creatures, you can ask Ganfu if you have any questions, and when you leave Jiaodong, Ganfu will also accompany you." ”

Interested, how can you not be interested, now Huo Guang has countless questions to ask.

But Huo Zhongru held down Huo Guang's arm, asked him not to act rashly, and then said to Sang Hongyang: "Sang Shizhong, I have discussed the matter of the salt field today, it is a long way to go to Jiaodong, Ah Guang has never been far away, I should take him back as soon as possible to prepare." ”

"Zai Li, Zai Li, Huo Shaofu, Ah Guang, how about we agree to leave in three days?"

"Okay."

When it was time to go, Huo Zhongru took Huo Guang and left.

After the two left, Sang Hongyang's face changed: "Send someone to the county guard's mansion and ask the county guard to cooperate with us to find out who the group of people who attacked Ah Jin at that time were." ”

Sang Jin was attacked by bandits when he first came, and Sang Hongyang would not let this matter pass so quickly.

…

When he went out, Huo Guang asked puzzledly: "Why doesn't Father let me ask more?" ”

"Don't you think they're too nice to you?"

"It seems like a little bit when you think about it."

"Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, although I feel good about Sang Hongyang, but I still have to pay attention to my eyes and be careful when we meet for the first time."

This is Huo Zhongru's experience in dealing with people.

"It's a pity, I still want to ask something about the steel war horse."

"Isn't it the same, you ask?"

"Huh? Father, don't you say you're also the mysterious stylist? ”
