Qingzhou, a manor.

"My lord, the head of the family who cooperated with us would like to see you." Xiao Si bowed and said in a low voice.

"What are they coming to me for?" Zhou Zhenwen put down the document in his hand and looked at Xiao Si.

"I guess it's for tomorrow's price plunge......" Xiao Si reminded in a low voice.

"Looks like they're in a hurry, so let's see you!!"

Zhou Zhenwen instructed: "Inform them and see me in the Green Lake Hall." ”

"Yes." After the four bows, he turned and left.

After a stick of incense, Zhou Zhenwen stood up and walked towards the Green Lake Hall.

"Welcome, gentlemen!"

Zhou Zhenwen smiled and said quite kindly: "These days, I don't see you, Zhou misses you very much!" ”

"Lord Zhou is polite!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!!"

"Lord Zhou is still so magnificent, and his bearing is extraordinary!!"

"Lord Zhou is young and promising, he is really the pillar of my great wilderness!!"

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, seeing that Zhou Zhenwen was so enthusiastic, several heads of the family glanced at each other and complimented each other.

All kinds of good and obedient words, don't send them with money.

The environment in the hall instantly warmed up.

The two sides exchanged all kinds of pleasantries and compliments, as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

After a dozen words of greeting, Zhou Zhenwen invited everyone to take a seat.

"Come on, come on, everyone take a seat, little four, let the people serve tea, take out my best ancient tree big red robe, you are all my Zhou's best friends, don't slack off!!" Zhou Zhenwen said with a smile.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Si saluted respectfully, walked out of the hall, and began to order his subordinates to serve tea.

The heads of the family looked at each other, and they all felt Zhou Zhenwen's enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm made their hearts beat drums, and even Gongsun Wuji had a feeling of uneasiness......

You must know that at the first two banquets, Zhou Zhenwen gave them a dismount for the first time, saying that they came to Qingzhou to make money!!

The second banquet, it was even more violent, and the table was lifted directly!!

This is the third time we met, but I look like a best friend, it's just ...... It's terrifying......

The head of the Tang family frantically gave Gongsun Wuji a look and motioned for him to speak.

The other heads of the family also gave them a look and motioned for Gongsun Wuji to come and speak.

Seeing this, Gongsun Wuji could only bite the bullet and took the initiative to speak: "Lord Zhou, we came this time, in addition to not seeing Lord Zhou for a long time and missing Lord Zhou's demeanor, there is also a small matter, I want Lord Zhou to help." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Zhenwen showed a stunned expression and said, "The head of the Gongsun family is okay. ”

In fact, the real reason why they came to the door, how could Zhou Zhenwen not know?

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace.

When they came to the door, there must be something.

And it will never be a trifle.

"Several of us have received reminders from adults that the price of locusts will change somewhat...... Gongsun Wuji said cautiously.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhenwen: "Wait." ”

"You guys go out first!"

Zhou Zhenwen instructed the maid and the servant who were serving tea.

"Yes, sir." The maids saluted and exited the hall.

"Come, gentlemen, let's use some tea first, and speak slowly." Zhou Zhenwen picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir."

After thanking the heads of the family, they took a few sips of tea, and then politely praised it.

"Oops! What a great tea! The color is like amber, fresh and elegant, sweet and long, good tea, good tea!! ”

"The entrance is slightly bitter, the heart is soft, and the aftertaste is long, it is worthy of the tea on the top Dahongpao ancient tree!!"

"The soup is orange and bright, the aroma is rich, and there is the faint fragrance of orchids, it is really superb!"

......

After a long meal, Gongsun Wuji saw that the time was almost up, and then continued: "Lord Zhou, we are actually here for the price of locusts. ”

"Well, your intentions, Zhou also guessed a few points, what are the difficulties, the head of the Gongsun family said that it doesn't matter, as long as I can help, I, Zhou, am duty-bound!" Zhou Zhenwen first gave a boost to several family heads, and then suddenly changed his words, "However, the matter of locusts, after all, involves major affairs in the imperial court, even if it is me, I don't dare to mess around, I hope you understand." ”

"Understand, understand, Lord Zhou is for the country and the people, and we, the ordinary people, naturally understand!" Gongsun Wuji originally heard the first half of the words, and he felt very happy in his heart, thinking that things could be done, but when he heard the second half of the words, he realized that this Zhou Zhenwen was really cunning like a fox, and what he said was simply leaky.

The head of the Tang family is even more slanderous in his heart: understand, understand a fart! What is called even if it is you, you don't dare to mess around, it belongs to you the most chaotic, obviously you came down to deal with the locust plague, others at most are deducting a little relief food, making a little fortune, you can be good, actually make such a big noise, make locusts into a hot snack in one go, and frantically harvest the rich merchants in Qingzhou, just their families are greatly injured!! It's just unreasonable!!

The head of the Xu family also dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and silently thought in his heart: If you want to make money, it has to be you Zhou Zhenwen! All kinds of operations, hard to make locusts into explosive goods, let everyone participate in it, and then you make a fortune, who doesn't know how many rich businessmen are going bankrupt in this wave, hey, do evil!!

The head of the Shangguan family also had all kinds of thoughts in his heart: Dead Dao friends are not dead and poor! In this wave, our Shangguan family has made a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if the rest of the inventory is out or not, even if it is all lost in our hands, we will also make money, but if we can sell it, it is naturally the best! If you sell it, you make a big profit, and if you don't sell it, you make a small profit! Anyway, I don't lose, as for the rich businessmen and other families, whoever loves to die, will die!!

"Lord Zhou, you notified too quickly, we still have a lot of locusts in stock that have not been sold, if the price plunges too fast, I'm afraid we will all go bankrupt!" Gongsun Wuji also knew that he couldn't talk about him left and right, and directly clarified the purpose of this trip.

"I see." Zhou Zhenwen nodded, "Then what does the head of the Gongsun family want to do?" ”

"Lord Zhou, we want you to help, help us sell the locusts in our hands, and we will give you sixty percent of the profits from the sale, you see, ......" Gongsun Wuji naturally knows the rules, and it is impossible for people to help without giving some benefits.

"Hey!" Zhou Zhenwen waved his hand and said, "Since it's a help, how can I be embarrassed to accept the benefits?" This kind of thing, Hugh Ti Hugh! ”

"Lord Zhou, that's the case, maybe the old man didn't speak clearly, huh...... This is not a benefit fee, it is money donated to the construction of the Qingzhou government, you see? Gongsun Wuji's eyes rolled and changed his way.

"If you donate, this kind of thing, just talk about Chen Tingshi, Qingzhou's affairs, I still can't interfere!" Zhou Zhenwen picked up the teacup, tasted the tea slowly, and said unhurriedly.

"This ......" Gongsun Wuji naturally heard Zhou Zhenwen's subtext, and wanted to bribe, yes! But you have to find the right person, find the right way.

The two methods just now don't work, I'm not satisfied!

Gongsun Wuji glanced at several family heads and made eye contact.

'What does Zhou Zhenwen mean by this?' He doesn't help? ’

'I'm afraid this Zhou Zhenwen doesn't want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, right? ’

If he wants to send off a guest, just get up and leave, since he is sitting, it means that he is still willing to contact us and be willing to help. ’

If you are willing to help, why don't you say it? You have to go around the bend and make people anxious!! ’

'Giving benefits is an art, we give it so blatantly, he has to dare to accept it! He came to Qingzhou for a trip, but he didn't want to leave any handle in our hands, he naturally wouldn't blatantly take money, this plan, nominally, is also a project to generate income for the Qingzhou government, he is a clean official who doesn't make a penny! ’

'Damn, Gongsun family master, you are tempting and tempting! ’

Under the gaze of the head of the Tang family, the head of the Gongsun family nodded quietly: "Lord Zhou, when you first arrived in Qingzhou, you don't know much about some of the characteristics of Qingzhou, why don't you let me be the east and take Lord Zhou to eat a special snack?" ”

"There is no need for special snacks, I'm not very particular about eating." Zhou Zhenwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "However, I heard that there is a special porcelain in Qingzhou City, called white-glazed blue and white porcelain, I like it a lot, but I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know where to buy it......
