The popularity of tea is a gradual feeding process, hundreds of years, such a large-scale adjustment of the dietary structure, Shen Zhezi did not dare to hope that with the promotion of some lies and conspiracies, he could expand to such a huge trade volume in a short period of time, so he naturally wanted to maximize the profits in this limited trading volume.

To achieve this kind of business purpose, hunger marketing is naturally the best choice. Taking advantage of the fact that the momentum of last year's plague has not passed, the price of tea is set at a high position through limited supply. Later, as this momentum weakened, the market continued to expand by suppressing prices through large-scale supply.

There is also a more insidious intention, that is, the demand for tea is the highest among the Hu people in Guanzhong right now, and it is very simple, the plague last year was scared. Therefore, this year's tea trading market is hot, and there is no need to ask who the customers these merchants are booking.

The situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, and the order is completely inferior to that of Heluo, so it is naturally impossible to provide a stable business environment. In other words, it is by no means an isolated case like Xue Tao who buys tea to convey to the Hu people, and those who dare to get involved in it to make profits must have a very good relationship with some groups among the Hu people.

Heluo trade flourished, and although the controls were very strict, it was difficult to completely eliminate the delivery of various materials to the hostile camp. Shangjia is impersonal and mercenary, which Shen Zhezi knows better than anyone else.

Although the various management methods of Xingtai have limited this situation to a certain extent, if you want to dig out all the merchants who have maintained extraordinary contacts with the Hu people, you still can't do it. If the investigation is too strong, it will inevitably involve the innocent, and the food will be wasted because of choking.

Now through the commodity of tea, those merchants who have close contacts with the Hu people can be directly marked, so that they can move from the dark to the light.

After marking these people, Shen Zhezi will not do anything to them for the time being, and he still needs to use these people to exploit the assets in the hands of the Hu people. Therefore, this trading mode of tea will be maintained for at least two to three years.

Another reason why this is the case is that even in Jiangdong, tea is still not a mainstream cash crop, and the scale of production has yet to be cultivated.

When the output of tea has been qualitatively improved, the market of the Hu people has basically begun to scale, and the merchants who have fornicated with the Hu people have basically been fattened. Then you can brew and launch a big dumping, directly cut the price of tea in half, and squeeze a lot of money out of the hands of those tea merchants who are keen to hoard goods through trading.

And this will lead to the next consequence, that is, the Hu people will realize that tea is by no means a scarce product, just an ordinary drinking thing, and they have been suffering from the exploitation of those black-hearted businessmen in the past few years!

These Hu people are not good people, how can they endure being tricked like this, it is conceivable that it will breed infighting. Xingtai doesn't even need to take a direct action to destroy a large number of non-governmental channels!

As for Xue Tao's initiative to confess, Shen Zhezi said that it was expedient and understandable.

But understanding does not mean connivance, for example, he used himself as an example, although he was weak and despicable in his childhood, but now he is a pillar of Jin Zuo and a giant of the royal industry. The implication is that if your Xue clan can't achieve high achievements in the future, it will be difficult to erase this kind of bad deeds of fornicating with Hulu, and it is not even ruled out that the autumn will settle accounts.

Of course, these meanings are only cared for, and it is not good to say them too clearly.

Xue Tao heard that General Shen did not blame, but spoke out to comfort him, and he was also grateful for a while, and then sighed and said: "This time, even if there is a reason for what happened, but the bad deeds are conclusive, and it is difficult to tolerate quibbles. Previously, the poor man was short and shallow, and he was unable to resolve the difficulties of the village, so he could only make this decision. But now that he has been instructed by the general, how can he be obsessed with it without regrets! ”

Hearing Xue Tao's statement that he didn't seem to be ready to carry out this transaction again, Shen Zhezi was a little uneasy, his main purpose was to sell tea, and the rest could be ignored for the time being. Since Shi Sheng found Xue Tao, and Xue Tao confessed to himself, then this opportunity is not to be missed.

Previously, the tea was delivered to the Hu people through the hands of those merchants, because there was no relevant channel in Xingtai. But relatively speaking, Shen Zhezi still prefers the direct sales model without middlemen to make the difference.

Therefore, after a little silence, he said: "I don't know the details of the difficulties in Hedong Township, so I don't dare to give advice. But Xue Jun, you have been on the edge of the ground for a long time, and you are still troubled so far, you can imagine that the thief is indeed arrogant. Although Wang Shi wants to never tolerate and fornicate with Hu Lu, but at present, the military is still important in Guanzhong, and before Guanzhong is pacified, it is difficult for the thieves in Pingyang to turn around and suppress it. ”

"Shi Sheng fled from Hongnong to the north, and he was not able to be killed before the Tongguan battle, because it was a disaster to the place, which was also beyond the reach of Wang Shi. To save his life, if he asks for it, he will inevitably harm the people in Hedong even more fiercely, so he might as well give it a little. But such a treasure cannot be given in vain, he needs to pay as much as he wants, if he dares to rob the crowd, I will lead the crowd to besiege and annihilate the riverside! ”

When Xue Tao heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, he really didn't expect General Shen, a powerful minister in the south, to take such care of him!

General Shen naturally would not be afraid of Hu Shi, you must know that Shi Sheng was defeated and fled north in the battle against Wang Shi, and even if it wasn't for Wang Shi not deploying defenses on the other side, maybe Shi Sheng would have been annihilated by Yu Hongnong. Seriously speaking, it was the existence of these villagers who were guarding the other side of the river, which caused obstacles for Wang Shi to annihilate the enemy.

With the current strength of the Wang Division, even if the focus is on Guanzhong, there is no need to be afraid of Shi Sheng's wandering division. But in order to preserve the vitality of the people in Hedong, he was allowed to continue this transaction, and this kind of care is no longer a simple appreciation.

Compared with General Shen's generosity, Xue Tao felt more and more that his idea of taking the lead in the countryside was too narrow, and he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed of himself: "The rural hardship is indeed practical, and we and other villagers dare not ask for a plan to prevent Wang Shida from entering the customs because of the safety of every inch." The general is gracious, and we will remember this virtue, but the countryside is poor and difficult to dedicate again, and I am willing to take advantage of this to serve the platform, in order to be able to help one or two kings to do things! ”

This is all due to the righteousness.

Hearing Xue Tao's statement, Shen Zhezi laughed: "Why should Xue Jun be arrogant, if I can get your talent to help, it will be better for me to help a lot." ”

Over the years, Shen Zhezi has dealt with a lot of people, although the contact time is not long, but he also has a general understanding of Xue Tao's character. If he is loyal and loyal, and he is selfless, this is really an exaggeration, but he is not a simple kind of heroic military leader, and he still has his own insistence on moral integrity.

This is a very tangled person, and it is also very complex in terms of behavioral appeals. Blindly tempting with MG will not receive too good results. However, if it is just to praise and deceive them, it is inevitable to ignore the pragmatic side of their people.

It seems that Xue Tao is an insatiable person who wants both fame and fortune, but in fact, his needs in these two aspects are not too great, and he can't talk about insatiable desires. As long as you find out the human temperament, it will be more convenient to settle and solve it than a simple Wuhao Township Sect.

The atmosphere of the conversation has been very harmonious, and General Shen has impressed Xue Tao with his magnanimity and elegance and conversational qualities. Although he did not bow his head, he also believed from the bottom of his heart that General Shen was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Shen Zhezi is also quite polite to Xue Tao, Hedong Xue can be said to be the most representative and powerful martial arts sect portal in the region, if it can be properly resolved, it will have an extremely positive significance for the pacification and rectification of the place in the future. Therefore, he simply put away all the visits and entertainment in the afternoon, talked until the night, and left Xue Tao for dinner.

In addition to Xue Tao, a guest, Shen Zhezi summoned some officials and generals from Xingtai and solemnly introduced Xue Tao to them.

Fenyin Xue is a place that cannot be bypassed in the Western Expedition, although the members of Xingtai have not seen Xue Tao before, but there are many discussions around him during this time.

At this time, seeing that he had become a guest of the general's seat, and entered the general's mansion with the temporary position of staff officer, it was even more difficult to hide his admiration for the general, and everyone also understood it, and praised Xue Tao according to the general's wishes.

Even Xiao Yuandong, who had previously tried to lead the Fenwu army into Fenyin to behead and eradicate the Xue barricades, was not in a strong state at this time, and gathered together in Xue Tao's banquet to enthusiastically discuss the tactical strategy of fighting against Zahu.

This night was a happy experience, and Xue Tao also really felt the kindness released to him by General Shen and the entire Xingtai, and even felt that he had made a correct decision to worship this time.

Previously, he didn't dare to come to see him easily, and he was a little worried, because his family was not a prominent sect of the family, and he heard that Jiangdong valued the reputation of the family, and he was worried that he would be humiliated and belittled. But now it seems that he really thinks too much, and he doesn't know how the Jiangdong Imperial Court is, at least Luoyang Xingtai is not despised because of his family, and shows enough courtesy and attention to him.

It is precisely because of this that Xue Tao had the heart to repay the favor, in response to General Shen's recognition and kindness to his release, and directly lived in the pavilion arranged for him by Xingtai that night. On the second day, he took the initiative to join the preparation of the entire Western Expedition Plan as a staff member.

Seeing the huge staff team organized by Xingtai, Xue Tao was also surprised. Many counties and townships in this staff team are in flux, and there is even no lack of Xue Tao's old acquaintances.

In addition to all kinds of comprehensive and meticulous information, even various sets of combat plans have been prepared, involving all kinds of military contingencies.

Xue Tao was amazed, but he also inevitably felt embarrassed, he really wanted to do his part, but he seemed to have nowhere to exert his strength. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally put forward a plan, that is, to set up a baggage battalion in his Fenyin countryside as a transfer station for the transfer of military materials and materials, so as to shorten the cycle of dispatching various logistics materials on a large scale.

Prior to this, Xue Tao would never dare to take the initiative to recruit Wang Shi into the countryside. But after entering the stage, all aspects of what he saw and heard made him realize his shallowness. The position of Fenyin as a transit hub, even if Wang Shi does not pay attention to it at the moment, but as the war progresses, it will definitely become a natural choice, and he is powerless to stop it.

He has now taken the initiative to make such a suggestion, which is only a slight advance of an inevitable event, and it can be regarded as a kind of goodwill release to Xingtai.

Although the entry of Wang Shi will affect the order of the countryside to a certain extent, it can also be said to impose another layer of guarantee on the safety of the countryside. Moreover, judging from these military plans and General Shen's attitude, Wang Shi is not in a hurry to control Hedong in the short term, and through this period of running-in, it can also make a smoother transition to the countryside.

There is another selfish calculation, that is, if the king's westward expedition goes smoothly this time, it will be impossible for their Xue clan to stay alone in the countryside and be self-sufficient. Taking this opportunity to introduce the entire family into the order of the Xingtai is also a natural and pragmatic choice for their Xue family. (https:)
