Shen Cheng's slightly provocative words did not make Wen Xian panic. After all, such a big thing, if you agree to it, then it is really a problem.

Therefore, Wen Xian only said leisurely: "If Lord Shen had such thoughts, he wouldn't have waited until now, would he?" ”

Looking at Shen Cheng's attitude, it is obvious that she is the newly self-reliant empress.

But he didn't say anything, and talked and laughed with Zhu Qing, and did not shy away from the topic of the empress.

It can be seen that Shen Cheng has no aversion to this matter, and he will not deliberately make things difficult for Wen Xian or Zhu Qing because of this.

But whether he will support it or wait and see, it is not known for the time being.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, I don't have much ambition in the next place, but I am not a person who will promise or give in at will." ”

He paused and continued: "There is no basis for what you say, it is only your words at the moment, and no one can be sure whether it will be as you say. ”

If he takes sides now, in case they don't deliver on what they say, then who will he go to?

Therefore, even if Wen Xian is the empress again, no matter how powerful the background is. He can't make decisions based on one-sided words, he has to wait until he sees something.

"This Lord Shen is relieved." Zhu Qing arched his hand and said, "We will first build a seafood processing factory in Guanhai Town, and after this is built, we will collect the fishing from all the fishermen in the surrounding area, and we will also recruit workers to work in the factory."

The processed seafood will be transported to various places for sale, mainly in the southwest and north. ”

The southwest is inland and rarely sells seafood. Therefore, this line must be able to make money.

"Guan Haizhen?" Shen Cheng knocked on the table and said, "Guanhai Town is too far away, so it might as well be opened in Guandong County." If this can be done within half a year, then I, Shen, will fight for my life and accompany His Majesty to this experience. ”

He believes that with Zhu Qing's business acumen, there will definitely be no problem in doing business.

But it is not so easy to mix the government, the imperial power, and the common people.

This point, in the officialdom, he knows best.

"Half a year?" Wen Xian shook her head and said, "Half a year is too long, I have a batch of prepared seafood now, Lord Shen might as well take a look first." ”

She clapped her hands and asked Zhu San to take out the dried small fish, scallops, and oysters that she had prepared in advance.

These are processed dried seafood that can be stored for a long time. The longest can be stored for up to a year, and you can eat it whenever you want.

"A year?" Shen Cheng was surprised, "Hasn't it lost its original taste in a year." ”

I don't know, it will completely change its taste, and how to start this business.

"Naturally, the taste will be much worse than fresh seafood, which is undoubted, but it will not be bad either." Wen Xian asked people to serve two cups of abalone millet porridge, and motioned for Shen Cheng to taste it, "This is made of this kind of dried seafood, how about Lord Shen try it?" ”

She continued: "It's made with dried seafood made three months ago. ”

It was the ones that were processed on Life Island in the winter, Wen Zhan only took half of them away, and the rest were all here in Wen Xian.

She wanted to use her hands to make a name for herself before the new seafood processing plant was built.

In this way, after the establishment of the new factory, it can enter the sales mode and do not have to be promoted again.

Shen Cheng was skeptical, but when he saw that Wen Xian had already eaten, he also buried his head and ate a few bites.

I didn't stop eating.

Moreover, after eating, he still looked at the other dishes on the table.

Fang Cai only cared about things and drinking, and he didn't move a few bites of these dishes on the table, and he didn't have the heart to taste them carefully.

Tasting the taste of porridge at this time, he couldn't help it.

Wen Xian knew that this would be the case, and she grinned and said, "It's still early, so we might as well chat while eating." ”

Zhu Qing also has the vision to help Shen Cheng clothen vegetables, and it is bound to make Shen Cheng happy to eat here.

These dishes are all from Fang Jia and Wen Xian, both of whom are first-class good cooks. The taste of the dish is needless to say.

Take abalone porridge as an example, even if the abalone is a dried seafood product. But with Wen Xian's good craftsmanship, the taste will not be much worse than fresh.

But Shen Cheng didn't know the Tao here, he only knew that these meals were very suitable for his taste.

What's more, some of them he had never eaten before. Others were more delicious than any food he had ever eaten.

This also caused Shen Cheng to be overwhelmed, and even his previous arrogance was lowered.

Wen Xian gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said casually: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Lord Shen." If Lord Shen agrees to cooperate and is willing to submit. Then, Lord Shen's soldiers are my soldiers. And all their expenses were paid out of the treasury. ”

No matter who becomes the emperor, there is no such thing as an official under the government who pays for the soldiers out of their own pockets, unless they are private soldiers.

Therefore, if Shen Cheng immediately submits to her, then she will naturally be responsible for the expenses of the government and the army, including the martial arts army outside the city.

Of course, if she is in charge, they must also listen to her.

"Treasury?" The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Your Majesty's treasury, is there really silver now?" ”

He has just declared himself king, and he doesn't even have a court, so where does he get a treasury.

Even if there is real money, I am afraid it is also the money of other people's gold countries.

Wen Xian didn't feel embarrassed, she only raised her chin and said, "Where does the money come from, Lord Shen doesn't have to worry." No matter how bad it is, there is a huge golden country behind me, and I can still starve people? ”

She really didn't plan to spend Wen Zhan's money to raise soldiers, but everything was difficult at the beginning. Now that she is recruiting, she has to make Shen Cheng feel at ease.

It is said that Shen Cheng has a good relationship with the prefects of several surrounding prefectures. She not only reassured Shen Cheng, but also reassured other provinces.

However, Shen Cheng didn't show much. Instead, he got up and bowed to Wen Xian, and arched his hand: "Then, Shen will wait for Your Majesty." A month later, Shen will visit again. ”

Wen Xian is unwilling to wait for half a year, and then sell the ready-made goods, so it will be okay to see how they sell in the next month.

After he finished speaking, he staggered out slightly.

His heart was disturbed, and when he heard that he could raise an army and a government, he almost couldn't resist the temptation.

You must know that in the past two years, he has relied on himself to raise the army, and he has emptied his family, even his wife's maiden family.

If it goes on like this, sooner or later he won't be able to keep people. No matter how sincere those people are to their sons-in-law, they can't match the reality.

Who is not old and young, and the economy is not well-off, there will always be friction and other ideas.

In the long run, people's hearts will scatter and traitors will appear.

No, a few days ago, the barracks were obviously lax, so people would sneak in.
