Chapter 427 Zhang Family True Dragon
"You are a bit too extravagant!"
Seeing the banquet spread across the table, Rui Hai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and started to chatter while looking at Zhang Mingtu.
There were many officials from the government next to him. They all looked at him with smiles and did not try to persuade him.
Ruihai is strict with himself, but not too harsh on others.
Ruihai never interfered with how other people lived.
It's just that when I see an overly luxurious banquet, I still feel a little distressed. After all, Rui Hai often walks and investigates in the countryside and sees too many scenes of poverty.
When comparing the luxurious banquets, he would nag.
But it was just nagging, and Rui Hai was not polite when he tasted it. He was still very open-minded in this regard.
Especially Zhang Mingtu said with a relaxed smile: "These are all dividend rewards for my improved seeds and other subsequent rewards. It only cost a small part, not too much."
"You..."
Rui Hai shook his head and sighed, but didn't say much.
Ruihai has been very busy recently, but his body shape is plumper than before, not as thin as before, and his body is stronger than before.
It’s not because Rui Hai eats more than before, but as Zhang Xuan’s many technical improvements are promoted throughout Jiujiang County and even Jiangnan West Road, especially with Jiujiang County as the core and radiating out, Rui Hai is busy every day.
Stopped, but felt physically and mentally comfortable.
Seeing that the people below are living a little better life than before, with no worries about food and clothing, Ruihai feels a kind of joy from the heart anytime and anywhere, which is very different from the previous depression and dullness.
He had the Agricultural College led by Zhang Mingtu and related figures to help him from behind, and there were even imperial envoys to clean up many ills in this regard.
Rui Hai only felt that doing many things was satisfactory and very comfortable. He was much more enlightened than before, and the stagnant energy in his heart also dissipated.
Things are quite comfortable. Compared with Lu Ruihai, who teaches many disciples in the academy every day, the awe-inspiring aura in his chest has increased even more during this period of time. Although Ruihai was basically too busy during this period to have time to study.
But naturally, due to the related events, Haoran's righteousness improved, and he was further purged and exchanged for blood. Now he has really reached the point where he can ward off all evils.
Therefore, Ruihai's improvement through marrow cleansing and blood exchange is a bit frivolous. It just exposes the body, or is strengthened to a high level. If you really want to fight with a general who has practiced martial arts since childhood, if you don't practice, even if you are very strong, you will not be able to fight.
You may be directly repelled or killed by characters at a lower level.
But if Ruihai strengthens his training in this area and cooperates with the inheritance of Confucianism, he will be able to grow into a top military general, even a Confucian general, in a short period of time, with both civil and military skills.
Zhang Mingtu saw it, but did not criticize it.
He just smiled and drank and had fun with many colleagues and didn't talk about anything else.
The entire banquet went smoothly without too many surprises.
In itself, many people want to get to know each other. Many people in Jiujiang County want to get to know the most popular disciple of Shennong in the entire Jiangnan West Road.
A group of people took the initiative to lean towards Zhang Mingtu, and their postures were very low, not very high.
Zhang Mingtu, with a smile on his face, took Zhang Jiye, the head of the Zhang family, and toasted a glass of wine to each other, showing that they were familiar with each other.
Zhang Jiye was confused at first and was completely immersed in the shock, because all the famous people from Jiujiang County came and were very polite to him and Zhang Mingtu.
Later, as Zhang Mingtu introduced him one by one, Zhang Jiye gradually returned to the future.
"This should allow the Zhang family to spread its leaves in Jiujiang County. The Zhang family will really stand up."
During the introduction process, other officials did not have any strange expressions, which is normal.
Especially in the Jiangnan area, this situation is even more normal than normal.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
This will basically be the case in the future. As long as it is not too excessive, no one will make any fuss about this matter.
Anyway, there are always people to do all kinds of business and various things. Instead of giving it to other people you don’t know, wouldn’t it be better to give it to people you know well?
Rui Hai frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
The entire era has been like this, and nothing can be changed with his personal power.
Moreover, with Zhang Mingtu’s character, it might be better to do this kind of thing with a little more bottom line than others.
The whole banquet passed in such a tacit understanding.
Zhang Mingtu didn't do much after that, and the family members, headed by the patriarch Zhang Jiye, were waiting in Zhang Mingtu's house.
"Let's do something related to business. It can lead to business in both the north and the south."
Zhang Mingtu looked at the patriarch Zhang Jiye who was looking at him expectantly, and calmly told him about his plans.
There is no need to open up a unique commercial route, just transport goods from the south to the north, and then transport goods from the north to the south. The benefits alone are already astonishing and terrifying.
"As for the profit sharing, 30% belongs to our Zhang family, and I will use the remaining seven floors to manage various people."
Zhang Jiye nodded, not dissatisfied at all. Being able to do this kind of business, even if it was just a pass, it would be an earth-shattering profit. Let alone 30%, he would be satisfied with only 10%.
Not to mention anything else, the market of Yuhu Village produced by Zhang Mingtu is actually not very wide in the south. Most people in the south like rice wine and do not like the kind of liquor produced by Zhang Mingtu that is biased towards white wine.
But if it is shipped to the north, the price will increase tenfold or a hundredfold, but no one in the Zhang family can transport the goods to the north.
Even if it is shipped, it can be sold to merchants in the north at the price in the south, and then let the merchants in the north sell it.
Watching others making earth-shattering profits, if you don't want to do this, then in the blink of an eye, people will confiscate the whole bottle of wine on September 4th. Don't even think about taking away a jar of wine. They won't take a penny, they can just take yours.
All the drinks were taken away.
"Then what can our business involve?"
Zhang Jiye was very nervous, not only him, but Zhang Jishi, Wang Yulan and Zhang Jili who had hunted for Zhang Mingtu in the early days and distributed wild boar meat to Zhang Mingtu were also here.
The current pillars of the Zhang family all belong to the Ji generation, and they usually discuss important matters together.
"All aspects of business can be involved, but it is mainly a business that transports various goods. Salt and iron cannot be involved..."
Zhang Jiye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Not only was he not unhappy, but he was very happy. The same was true for several others.
As escorts who travel all over the country, they know the rules of each place best. Yantie has official figures involved, so they are not easy to take action. Of course, the interests in these two aspects are also the greatest, but anyone who takes action in this area will basically die.
But if you don't use these two, the other profits will be equally huge.
All kinds of goods can be collected and circulated between the north and the south without hindrance. This is already the generosity of today's power.
"There is such a connection with heaven. In this case, not only 70%, 80%, or 90% will be enough for us to eat, the Zhang family will really become prosperous."
This is the thought that comes to everyone's mind.
The characters in the bid know all kinds of relationship situations, and the roads are in all directions. Is it because they don’t want to do these commercial businesses? Isn’t it because they want to do it? Is it because they don’t have the ability?
No, no one knows the twists and turns of each place better than their wandering characters, but they can't do it.
Because there is no universal connection in this area and the joints cannot be opened up, then it cannot be done.
Now that Zhang Mingtu has been connected, they all seem to see a path of wealth reaching the sky right in front of them.
"When walking in the south, use this token. As for walking in the north, use the other token..."
Zhang Mingtu explained various precautions. As for opening a trading company and buying various ships and goods, as long as the relationship is in place, these are not problems.
Jiujiang County itself has extremely developed transportation, and various businesses are easy to handle. As long as Tibetans make requests in this regard, all yamen will be able to get the green light to quickly process the relevant official documents.
As for the purchase of ships and goods, the Zhang family's accumulation over the years is still very grand, especially the Yuhu Spring.
As long as the relevant goods can be sold, there will basically be no problem in this aspect, and there is no need to consider profit recovery.
"I've dealt with every joint. I just ask you to follow the rules. I only have one request: run the business in a serious manner and don't do anything that violates disciplines. Once you are known to me, you will do everything according to official laws and will never cover up!"
Zhang Mingtu looked around, and many people who saw his gaze nodded. Zhang Jishi and Wang Yulan stood beside Zhang Mingtu, their faces full of excitement.
After the excitement, you still need to rest after all. Except for the team leader Zhang Jiye who has reached the point of cleansing the marrow and exchanging blood to cultivate the true energy, everyone else is still at the first three steps of the threshold of spiritual practice. The stronger ones are tendons and bone strengthening.
.
But most of them were not too strong. After the intense excitement, Zhang Mingtu arranged for them to live in his courtyard to rest.
It is said to be a house, but in fact it is very large and has many rooms. If you can't live in it, you can live in a restaurant. There is a special inn here.
Zhang Mingtu knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Even though they have been here for a few days, the mentality of many people in the Zhang family has not yet completely changed, and a real expansion period will not begin until after tonight.
It is true that the power and dignity displayed by Zhang Mingtu now are too great.
Everyone in Jiujiang County gave Zhang Ming face, and later the trade between the north and the south was revealed. The ability and power displayed in this process were truly top-notch.
In Zhang Mingtu's courtyard, Zhang Mingtu's master bedroom was originally divided for his parents to live in, but neither of them could sleep in the master bedroom.
After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, she heard Wang Yulan sigh.
"Master, what do you think is going on? I've obviously made a great success, but I always feel like I'm in a dream, which always scares me. These days of good things are a bit too much.
"When I heard that the prefects were coming today, I was stunned. How could we have come into contact with such a person in the cloud before?"
Wang Yulan chattered non-stop.
"You said how wonderful life is now. Let's open a small restaurant in Jianyi. Mingtu will be the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards in Jianyi. In a few years, I will get married and have children, and I will be free to take care of Mingtu.
child.
"You can have more children who are willing to inherit the restaurant, and learn the crafts from me. Those who are willing to work as servants in Jinyiwei can follow Mingtu. I'm a little scared now..."
In the darkness, Zhang Jishi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't talk about you, I'm a little stiff in such a big scene today, but there's no telling what will happen in the future, we can't think too far ahead, Mingtu now has his own
We can't interfere with your thoughts, all we can do is do our best.
"We are not short of money. We just need to live a prosperous life. If Mingtu wants to open a business, let's go with him. But things like deception and abduction cannot be done in the past. From my point of view,
, Mingtu has a bright future and continues to move forward. If he works hard, he may be able to make a fortune.
"We can't hold back in this process. If we want to impose the same restrictions as in the previous round, there will definitely be big problems. I have also learned about the Ruizhi Mansion. He has always been honest and upright, and will never allow such favoritism and bending of the law.
"Opening a business bank may be useful to my son, but we can't just do it for money, we have to grasp the degree of it..."
The couple discussed quietly in the house. Wang Yulan advocated living a peaceful life as before. It was great to open a restaurant in Jiujiang County, and then arrange for Zhang Mingtu to get married and have children.
Zhang Jishi is more inclined to let Zhang Mingtu pursue his career. The two of them should pay more attention to some business affairs, follow the rules, and not be excessively greedy for profits.
"How do we control this level? Isn't this always handled by the team leader?"
Wang Yulan was confused.
Zhang Jishi explained in a low voice: "Today is different from the past. Mingtu did not say it clearly, but the patriarch already understood that after the commercial bank is opened, we will probably be the person in charge of the commercial bank, and we should be responsible for all the financial and related data.
Control, in which Kili will also hold corresponding important positions.
"After a year or two of smooth transition, the patriarch may have to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful."
"this……"
Wang Yulan was happy, after all, he would be the patriarch's wife from now on, but at the same time, she was nervous.
"But you can't be the patriarch either."
"I don't need to be able to do it, as long as I come forward to uphold justice, they will handle the rest themselves, and the team leader will also take the initiative to help us arrange it, and nothing will go wrong. As long as nothing happens in one day,
We don't have any problems."
…
On the other side, Zhang Jiye was also unable to sleep, his eyes bright and trance-like in the dark night.
Thinking of the power and status he might have in the future, he could not help but clenched his fists.
"Opening up the north and the south, opening up the north and the south...it's really amazing! This is a real dragon born in the Zhang family."
