The real bosses of the grain shops in Liaozhou City are here.
Among them, Ji Rufeng was also called, a total of nine people.
The huge food supply in Liaozhou City is controlled by these eight people.
They are not only the owners of grain shops in Liaozhou City, but also the heads of major families in Liaozhou City.
Yes, the food in Liaozhou City is in the hands of these nine families.
When the weather is good, people can have enough food.
If the harvest is bad, they are the only ones with food.
Not just Liaozhou, but also other places, even Chang'an City.
The strength of the Tang Dynasty's aristocratic families is reflected in all aspects, and this is just one of them.
"Meet the Governor."
Everyone saluted Fang Yuan.
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
Fang Yuan stood up to greet him and smiled politely.
Except for Ji Rufeng, everyone else looked at the round table in the conference room.
They have never tried holding a meeting like this, but they can tell from a glance that it is a good idea to hold a meeting like this.
Pei Yinghua is very knowledgeable. When choosing a seat, he sat opposite Fang Yuan, which was also one of the main seats at the round table.
Prepare the tea and the meeting is ready to begin.
But at this time, the heads of various families were attracted by the fragrance of tea.
"Prefect Fang, is this tea?"
Wang Zhicheng, the head of the Wang clan in Liaoshan, asked curiously.
He also has an identity, that is, he is Wang Shiyu's uncle.
Wang Shiyu is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Jinyang and lived with him during his stay in Liaozhou.
Because Wang Shiyu often visited Fangfu, he learned that Fangfu’s tea was refreshing, sweet and full of flavor.
When I smelled the tea today, I felt it was alluring. I felt relaxed and happy, and I thought of Wang Shiyu's words.
"Exactly!"
"This tea is specially made by me. You can try it."
Fang Yuan chuckled and invited everyone to drink tea.
After saying that, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
Wang Zhicheng nodded, opened the tea cup out of curiosity, and saw that the tea was like clear soup and green water.
After smelling it, the tea has a refreshing fragrance that makes you feel relaxed.
Take a sip and you will feel the mellow, sweet and rich taste!
“Good tea!”
"I have never had such delicious tea!"
Wang Zhicheng said excitedly.
According to his knowledge, tea has always been unpleasant to people.
But now, I am so surprised to be able to drink such delicious tea here at Fang Yuan.
Other clan leaders also tried the tea one after another, and they all thought it was a good tea, far different from the ones they had tasted before.
"Prefect Fang, how did you make this tea?"
Wang Zhicheng asked curiously.
Let the state officials pour him another nice drink and drink it.
"This is a commercial secret, no comment."
"I am preparing to spread tea to Liaozhou and even all over the country."
"With your eyes, you must know the profit in this, right?"
Fang Yuan smiled.
I called them here today to talk about food.
But since they know about tea, let’s popularize the profits of tea.
"Hiss!!!"
"I'm afraid it's comparable to coarse salt?!"
Everyone was silent at first.
Then Pei Yinghua took a breath and said.
The cost of tea is almost zero, it’s just the leaves.
But if we make such delicious tea, countless people will probably like it.
As long as there are many people, the profits will be unimaginable, and may be comparable to the profits of salt.
Wang Zhicheng and others couldn't calm down after hearing this. They all turned pale and looked at Fang Yuan with shock in their eyes.
Fang Yuan smiled and said nothing.
But in fact, I admire Pei Yinghua’s vision from the bottom of my heart.
As expected of a big family, his vision is different from that of ordinary people.
He saw such long-term value in just a cup of tea, and it’s no wonder that their family can survive forever.
"Does Governor Fang want to cooperate?"
"I, Fenyin Xue, have outstanding martial arts skills, and transporting them across the country is not a problem!"
Xue Wenbo said loudly.
He is a martial artist and cannot understand the value.
But if Pei Yinghua can say something like that, it must be worth it.
Others also looked at Fang Yuan, waiting for Fang Yuan's reply.
If Fang Yuan said he wanted to cooperate, they would extend their olive branches one after another.
"I would like to, but I have no time to spare now."
"After this period of busy work is over, I will consider cooperating with you."
Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.
It’s quite satisfying to catch their taste like this.
But today they learned about the taste of tea, and they will definitely study it when they go back.
Fortunately, Du Miaoyan has learned how to fry tea, and will soon be able to introduce new tea to Liaozhou and quickly occupy the market.
When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to give up.
After all, they knew very well what Fang Yuan called them over today.
But after they return, they will definitely invest manpower and material resources in research.
"Back to the topic."
"What's going on with the grain store in your hands now?"
Fang Yuan’s righteous way.
"There is a shortage of food and it is being brought from other places."
Pei Yinghua said solemnly.
This was their previous unified caliber.
It’s not that they won’t sell, nor that they’re raising prices, it’s just that they’re short of food, and they’re also getting it from other places.
"It's understandable that the Hedong three tribes and the Wang family were transferred from other places."
"But Xie, Lin, Zhao, and Luo, you guys also brought it from other places?"
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Among them, the Xie family is the family of the former Sima Xie Wenyu.
The Lin, Zhao, and Luo families are the families of the magistrates of the three counties in Liaozhou.
They are the main lineage in Liaozhou, unlike the Hedong three tribes whose branches are in Liaozhou.
"Lord Governor, it's already very good that we can still have food to sell to the people."
"You still doubt us like this. Doesn't it chill the hearts of us clan leaders too much?"
Xie Xingchao, the head of the Xie family, said in a strange tone.
"I do doubt it."
"So are you transporting food from other places?"
Fang Yuan’s righteous way.
He looked at Xie Xingchao calmly.
"It's understandable that the governor is aloof and has no contact with the bottom. He doesn't know the conditions for farming."
"Affected by the drought now, we can't plant fields at all. Even if we carry water to plant three-thirds of an acre, it will have no effect."
"But we are still being suspected when we transport food from other places. It's really chilling. How about the governor ask God for food? It's really hard for us to accompany you."
Xie Xingchao said with a mocking tone.
He already knew from the magistrates of the three counties that Fang Yuan wanted each county to carry water for farming.
With such a decision, anyone with a discerning eye will know that Fang Yuan is anxious and worried that there will be no food for the people to survive next year.
"Why does it chill your hearts?"
"You sell grain to make money, and the money you earn is yours. How can this be so heartbreaking?"
Fang Yuan also said with ridicule.
If they sell grain to the people for him, Fang Yuan has nothing to say.
But they are making money for themselves now, not for Fang Yuan.
"Huh, the governor doesn't know our difficulties, so he can say it nicely."
"I have nothing to say. The food is shipped from all over the country. If it doesn't arrive, it will be sold according to the current situation. Farewell."
Xie Xingchao snorted coldly.
He pushed the stool away and left without looking back.
Fang Yuan looked at his back, his eyes flashed coldly, but he didn't have an attack.
"I'll take my leave now too."
The heads of the Lin, Zhao, and Luo families stood up one after another and kept up with Xie Xingchao.
"Prefect Fang, I'll take my leave then."
The three tribes of Hedong also stood up and said goodbye.
"President Fang, I'm sorry."
Wang Zhicheng stood up and saluted.
Because of Wang Yu's poem, he didn't want to be at odds with Fang Yuan.
But we have united the front with the Liaozhou family, so we have to leave.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan stood up to see him off.
After they all leave.
"Boss Ji, did I ask you to prepare and transport food?"
Fang Yuan calmly said calmly.
"Yes, it will be shipped within a few days."
Ji Rufeng stood up immediately and said in a deep voice.
"Very good, when your food arrives, the time will come for us to do something big."
The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth raised, and his eyes became deep.
Ji Rufeng didn't understand, but Zhang San who was still taking notes at the side did.
