Besides, who is the biggest backer of the Han and Tang dynasties? It is naturally today, if the Han and Tang dynasties make a lot of money.
All the shareholders are having fun, and what should I do if that person is pissed off?
In addition, Cheng Chubi was in Luzhou and used the authority of the government to lure him, as well as the merchants of the Han and Tang Dynasties to lure him.
Under the dual effects, the local Hu people gradually changed from resisting the government at the beginning to trusting the government.
This is also the reason why Luzhou was able to help those people in Luzhou get rid of the control of their heads in just a few years, and thus all happily embarked on the fast track of abundant food.
The elementary schools and literacy schools opened by merchants in the Han and Tang Dynasties also played a considerable role in this.
Naturally, Cheng Chubi would not hesitate to pass on the experience he gained from Luzhou to the managers of the Jiaozhou branch of the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Banks who had been working hard in Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion.
"Now it seems that the consumption of spices in Datang is quite acceptable."
"This year's situation has made us understand one thing. Our Jiaozhou area really has a lot to do."
"Yeah yeah……"
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. You must still remember that our chairman of Hantang Commercial Bank mentioned it in the letter he wrote last month."
"In Jiaozhou, in addition to vigorously developing pepper plantations, trying to increase the types of spices, and vigorously promoting sugarcane cultivation, there are also several important tasks."
"We need to build a cement factory, and then we need to build a big port in Jiaozhou, which will help our various specialties from Jiaozhou be transported to the coast of Datang, as well as to the countries in the south and east..."
"Nowadays, the sales of pepper are very smooth. After the funds are returned, we need to start these projects as soon as possible."
"Several of our shareholders, His Highness King Wu, Cheng Changshi and Fang Dianjun, are now doing well in Luzhou."
"We can't drag our feet too much and make our shareholders unhappy."
As soon as the meeting ended, the stewards in charge became busy again. Of course, the first thing they did was to write a letter to their master to report the good news of the pepper sales.
Nowadays, the ships carrying pepper from the Jiaozhou Pepper Plantation must have arrived in the Central Plains area.

In Chang'an City, General Cheng was in his official room, holding a book of "Book of Changes" in one hand and supporting his forehead with the other.
A rhythmic snoring sound came from the public room from time to time.
The two soldiers stood outside the courtyard with loyal and brave faces to prevent anyone from disturbing their master's reading of such a profound book as "The Book of Changes".
At this moment, an elite leftist leader came in a hurry.
"You two, please inform the general. Your housekeeper is outside the office. If you have something urgent, please see the general."
"Okay, okay, brother, please go ahead and we will report it to the general."
After the elite left leader left quickly, one soldier continued to guard the door, while another soldier rushed in quickly.
"Master, master?"
Hearing the shouts, Cheng Yaojin's snoring suddenly stopped. He hurriedly wiped his face and continued to pretend to study "The Book of Changes".
He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle Fu is here. He said he has something urgent and wants to see the master."
"Cheng Fu? Let's go and take a look." After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin put a volume of the book in his hand and quickly walked out of the house with this special hypnosis tool.
When I arrived outside the Yamen, I saw Cheng Fu walking back and forth repeatedly at the door.
"Cheng Fu, what happened in the mansion?"
"Master, a good thing, a great thing..." Cheng Fu glanced at the elite left-wing troops standing at the door with their heads held high.
Cheng Yaojin understood the situation and strode down the steps, leading Cheng Fu to stand at a distance.
"Sir, the red pepper from Jiaozhou Dudu's Mansion has arrived..."
"Red pepper?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned, stroking his thick beard like a steel needle and said painfully.
"Oh? Damn it... After waiting for several years, I almost forgot about this one. How about it, how many can our old Cheng family have?"
Of course, the old Cheng family's effort to obtain 700 kilograms of pepper really made General Cheng's beard turn gray several times.
At least the seven children had shares in Hantang Trading Company.
But after that, I was busy working on the fields, and Uncle Hu’s plantation didn’t even fart for two or three years.
General Cheng just regarded the 700 kilograms of pepper as wasted water, but he didn't care much about it. Little baby, everything can't go smoothly when you do things.
After suffering a loss, I should teach them a long lesson, but I never thought that it suddenly jumped out again.
Cheng Fu looked around warily again, then whispered into General Cheng's ear.
"Our old Cheng family's red pepper is almost 35,000 jins..."
General Cheng subconsciously nodded his head. After he reacted, his eyes widened like bells and he grabbed Cheng Fu's shirt with his big hands.
"Hmm... Hmm?! How much did you say?!"
"Master, it's almost 35,000 kilograms. Now the ship has arrived at the dock. They specially sent someone to deliver the message to the house."
"After hearing this number, Madam quickly asked the villain to come over to find the master and let him make an idea. There is so much pepper..."
General Cheng let go of his big hand holding Cheng Fu's clothes, stroked his thick beard like a steel needle, and murmured in a low voice with shining eyes.
A pound of pepper in Chang'an costs eight guan, which is 35,000 jin, which is equivalent to a huge investment of more than 200,000 guan.

"Well, you... no matter what, it would be better for me to take action myself.
What if some blind person tries to get our old Cheng’s pepper?"
General Cheng raised his broomstick eyebrows, turned around and walked up the steps. After giving a few instructions to the junior colonels who were watching the Yamen, he asked his soldiers to fetch the mounts and rode straight back to the Cheng Mansion.
In a short time, General Cheng personally led more than 20 cavalrymen, all carrying horizontal swords at their waists, covering more than a dozen carts with murderous intent and headed eastward.
Only then did Kankan arrive at Tonghua Gate, where he saw Li Ji and Qin Qiong arriving with their own soldiers and surrounded by vehicles and horses.
"Hey, second brother, brother Mao Gong, are you going there too?"
"Hahaha, that's right. I didn't expect that everyone thought of going together." Li Ji happily stroked his long beard.
Looking at the large crowd of Cheng family members and the dozen or so large cars behind them, Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Brother, your old Cheng family has really made a fortune this time."
"Hahaha, that's not true, but brother Mao Gong, you are not bad either. Second brother, you didn't believe me when I asked you to invest more, but this time you see..."
Qin Qiong shook his head, stroked his long beard and smiled. "Okay, I don't have as many dolls as you, Old Cheng, just enough."
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong still had time to brag, Li Ji, who liked to save others with his own self, suddenly became unhappy.
