Chapter 533: Cooperation Restarts
Guo Liang and his son were deeply glad that they had invited Ming Zhongxin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One is glad that Ming Zhongxin really saved the mother and son, and the other is glad to inform the news of Wuju, although people already know, but this is also a small favor, so that Ming Zhongxin changed his mind, and not only accepted the apology and thanks, but also turned around, repaid the peach, and re-wanted to cooperate with them Wuding Houfu, which is really an unexpected joy!
"Master Ming, I don't know if you want to cooperate with us in the silver number business or the tea business?" Guo Xun couldn't help it and asked directly.
"Shichen, the head of the Ming family has his own arrangements, why do you ask?" Guo Liang scolded, having said that, his eyes also turned to Ming Zhongxin with the question.
Mingzhong's confidence is funny, this is also an urgent child, he obviously wants to know, but he pretends to have such an attitude! It would be better if that naked gaze was put away!
"Don't hide it from the little waiter, it's not!" Ming Zhongxin shook his head and denied.
"What? Neither? What is that? Guo Xun was a little dazed.
Guo Liang was also puzzled for a while, now Ming Zhongxin seems to have no other business at hand except for these businesses, could it be that Ming Zhongxin is fooling us? Look at Ming Zhongxin, my heart is moving again, it shouldn't be, since he said it, he should already have an idea, what is it?
Guo Liang's father and son looked at Ming Zhongxin with a puzzled expression.
Ming Zhongxin smiled confidently, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and handed them to Guo Liang.
Guo Liang took the paper suspiciously and looked down.
"Percussion drilling technology", "cementing technology", "well treatment technology", "drying brine salt technology", "drilling and downhole tools" five technologies came into view, Guo conscience was shocked, and looked up at Ming Zhongxin.
"Yes, what I want to cooperate with you is the salt industry!" Ming Zhongxin nodded and smiled.
Guo Liang smiled bitterly, "Master Ming, are you joking?" ”
"Why?" Ming Zhongxin said with a smile.
"Salt industry, the Ming Dynasty implements a monopoly system, we can't enter at all, the Ming Dynasty established the early opening of the law, salt merchants raised funds to buy salt, used to buy grain and grass, and then transported to the border to get salt, to obtain salt, and then buy salt and sell it for profit, which requires a grain channel, and we do not have such a special channel, not suitable for meddler. And the silver transport division opened the salt lead, directly in the salt department, in exchange for the salt lead, if we intervene, this is not very good! Moreover, if we use your salt method to make private salt, it will not work at all. Guo Liang explained.
Moreover, the "Salt Introduction Regulations" formulated by Emperor Taizu stipulates that the officials guarding the imperial court will patrol and hang the prisoners who have obtained illegal salt; Those who have weapons are beheaded, and the bow of the salt wagon has no officials. Those who are caught by ordinary people will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and they will still be investigated for what was sold, and they will be punished according to the law. What's more, in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu issued a decree prohibiting the princes and uncles and officials above the fourth grade of civil and military affairs to order their family members to engage in salt and misappropriate the people's interests. In the twenty-second year of Xianzong's Chenghua, he ordered all sides to lead the salt, grain and grass, and did not allow the powerful and internal and external officials to ask for the occupation of the nest, and to collect the price, so that the patrol was corrected according to the imperial history. You say, do we dare to make illegal salt? ”
"Hou Ye's words are wrong! Who said I was going to operate like this? Who said I was going to make salt privately? Ming Zhongxin smiled and shook his head.
"And what are you?" Guo Liang pointed to the paper and wondered.
"Master Hou, in fact, any industry enters the intermediate process of operation, and the profit is meager, but if you intervene at the beginning, it will be different, I mean, we have to intervene in the beginning of the salt industry."
"Initially?" Guo Liang looked at Ming Zhongxin, and then looked at the few pages of paper in his hand, and realized.
"Take a look at this percussion drilling technology, there are seven processes such as opening the wellhead, going down the stone circle, filing the big mouth, going down the wood bamboo, fan mud, filing the small mouth, and seeing the work (drilling), which can be achieved at one time and one place? Drilling according to this method is a long-term project, and I am afraid that it will take ten or even twenty years, can we afford to wait? The cementing technology, well management technology and the percussion drilling technology complement each other and are integrated. It's also a long-term thing. So, these technologies are just our means! ”
Guo Liang's eyes lit up.
"As for this drying and brine salt technology, it will soon be able to generate benefits, but we can't use it, so this is also our means!" Ming Zhongxin paused and continued, "You can offer these technologies to the imperial court in exchange for the monopoly of salt, or in exchange for a piece of undeveloped sea salt production area and obtain the right to operate. We have purification technology, and we can sell purified fine edible salt to the court princes or wealthy squires, which can be profitable. ”
The more he listened to Ming Zhongxin's explanation, Guo Liang's eyes became brighter and opened up a new horizon.
"But will the imperial court allow us to deal in salt?" Guo Xun said on the side.
The light in Guo Liang's eyes gradually dimmed, indeed, the court is not having a good time!
"If the imperial court really doesn't allow it!" Ming Zhongxin lowered his head and thought, "You can exchange some benefits with the imperial court according to the interests of the Guo family!" ”
"How's that going to work? Then you're not busy in vain! Guo Xun didn't wait for Guo Liang to speak, and directly shook his head in denial.
Guo Liang nodded in agreement, after all, people Ming Zhongxin just had a life-saving grace to Houfu, and he received such a favor again, Houfu couldn't do such an ungrateful thing!
Ming Zhongxin looked up at the father and son, and saw the sincerity on their faces, Guo Xun's behavior was very different from his previous behavior, but this was beyond his expectations.
You know, he was extremely strong before, and he threatened him, but now he thinks about Ming Zhongxin like this, I really didn't expect it! It seems that this Guo Xun's nature is still good! It's not in vain that I'm busy.
"I wonder what the Houfu has to do with food?" Ming Zhongxin was no longer entangled in this, and said again.
Guo Liang's father and son were stunned, why did they change the topic when they were talking about salt?
"I have another project here, but I have to have someone to make and sell it, and it's best to have a ready-made store channel." When Ming Zhongxin saw the expressions of the two, he knew that they were puzzled, and opened his mouth to explain.
didn't know that he said this, but it was another big impact on Guo Liang's father and son.
This Ming Zhongxin is an idea to raise his head, and it is an idea to bow his head, and he really deserves to be the master behind the Huancai Pavilion! Guo Liang's father and son were amazed in their hearts.
"Yes, there are a few grain and oil stores in Guofu, but what's the use?" Guo Liang responded.
"Are there workers who specialize in making grain and oil?" Ming Zhongxin's face was overjoyed and he asked.
"Yes!" Guo Liang nodded.
"That's good! In a few days, I'll send someone to teach them how to make a few kinds of food, and then we can go straight to production! ”
Guo Liang and his son were stunned, this Ming Zhongxin even has food production talents? Thinking about the delicious food of Mingxuan Pavilion, they were relieved, after all, there are such delicious dishes, but the method of making several foods is not a matter of holding the handle!
"However, Master Hou, the method of making these kinds of food must be kept secret! Therefore, the person who uses it must be a confidant! Ming Zhongxin solemnly instructed.
"That's nature!" Guo Liang nodded.
"Also, these kinds of food are actually unexpected for the army, I hope Hou Ye has a psychological preparation!" Ming Zhongxin smiled mysteriously.
What the? Guo Liang looked at Ming Zhongxin with some doubts, and contacted the army? What does this mean?
opened his mouth to ask, but Ming Zhongxin just didn't say. Guo Liang and Guo Xun are very helpless about his bad taste, so they have to wait until the next day to reveal the secret!
"Okay, Master Hou, I still have to go back to supervise the students to study and drill, so I won't bother. I'll send someone tomorrow and ask you to arrange everything!" With that, Ming Zhongxin stood up and waited to leave.
"Master Ming, what about this?" Guo Liang raised several techniques in his hand and handed them to Ming Zhongxin.
Ming Zhongxin smiled slightly, waved his hand and refused, "Master Hou, these techniques are only a return gift for these title deeds, please handle them properly!" ”
"This?" Guo Liang was instantly shocked, what kind of person is this Ming Zhongxin, who actually takes such an important technology as a gift in return, although the land of Jingshi is very valuable, but if these technologies are used well, they can be exchanged for a hundred times more benefits than a thousand times, and Ming Zhongxin is so unimpressed! It can also be seen from this that there must be more precious technology in the hands of this Ming Zhongxin! Working with them may be the best choice for yourself!
"Master of the Ming family, if you say this, we will no longer be ashamed to get along with you, you have not repaid the Guo family's life-saving grace, and you owe such a big favor, how can you let Benhou gain a foothold? Please take it back! Guo Liang's face was full of seriousness, and he came to Ming Zhongxin and resolutely handed back the paper.
"Yes! If you do this again, Guo will really have no face to see people! Guo Xun also stepped forward to persuade.
"Master Hou, these should be our joint investment, if you have achieved any benefits, we can split it in half!" Ming Zhongxin smiled helplessly.
"This?" Guo Liang is a little embarrassed, he got this technology for no reason, although he still has to work hard to make a profit, but after all, he is a white wolf with empty gloves, so it is a little too easy to get benefits! What's more, these benefits are obtained from Ming Zhongxin with such huge potential, and he is really under pressure!
At this time, although Ming Zhongxin seems to be so light and light, who knows how people will regret today's events if they get huge benefits in the future, and when the time comes, if they have a bad heart, they are afraid that their cooperation will be overshadowed. His experience over the years is not given in vain, and he has seen many brothers and good friends who have turned against each other because of interests, and it is better to make it clear.
"Master of the Ming family, if you get benefits, let's open them, otherwise, this candidate will definitely not be able to accept it!" Guo Liang said with a resolute face.
"Wait!" Ming Zhongxin looked at Guo Liang, saw the resoluteness in his eyes, and shook his head helplessly, "That's fine, but after all, you still have to bother to operate above the court, let's just four or six points!" Otherwise, Ming would rather these technologies be dusty at home! ”
Guo Liang looked at Ming Zhongxin and had no choice but to nod in approval.
"Okay, let's have a good time together!" Ming Zhongxin smiled slightly.
"Happy working together!" Guo Liang also smiled.
Ming Zhongxin said goodbye and left, Guo Liang and his son looked at his back and sighed.
"O Shichen! Look, other people's bearing, other people's mind, if it were you, would you be able to do this? Guo Liang turned to look at Guo Xun.
Guo Xun looked ashamed, shook his head and said, "Alas, I can't do it!" For a person who has threatened him, he can still save his wife and children, and be able to think about him so wholeheartedly, I don't think I can do it! ”
"The most commendable thing is that not only do people not hold a grudge against you, but also use other methods to repay this reward in a more valuable way after accepting your reward! Only by being a man like this can someone help you! Now I know why Liu Daxia, Shou Ninghou and Shi Wenyi helped him so much! This lesson, Ming Zhongxin's approach, you have to keep it in mind! Guo Liang said earnestly.
"Yes, the child will remember!"
"You have to fight for it, now this business is inherited by you after all!"
What the? Father actually spat out! Guo Xun looked at his father in surprise for a while, knowing that his previous eagerness for quick success and coercion to lure Ming Zhongxin was also related to this inheritance of the title, and he also wanted to make some achievements, so that his father would be impressed, and then increase the chance of attacking the knighthood. After all, there are still a few brothers below me who are eyeing this title!
"Yes, the child will be more conscientious in the future to take care of the affairs of the Houfu in an orderly manner!" Guo Xun said excitedly.
"Don't be impatient, take your time! You're going to run away! Guo Liang patted Guo Xun on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Moreover, in the future, you should try to have a good relationship with this Ming Zhongxin, there will be your benefits!" ”
"Father, you say, why is this Ming Zhongxin so proficient in accidents at such a young age? And what else has been done? Guo Xun looked at his father and asked for advice.
"This?" Now, Guo Liang was asked, and he didn't know! So far, he has only known a little about Ming Zhongxin's affairs, who knows how this Ming Zhongxin can be so wicked.
"Perhaps, this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person!" In the end, Guo Liang had no choice but to respond in a general way.
"Let's go, go see my grandson, now, there is a successor in Houfu!" Guo Liang laughed heartily and turned around to walk towards the house.
Thinking that he finally had his eldest son, Guo Xun was also excited, and the ambition in his heart rose even more!
Looking at the plaque of Wuding Houfu, my heart was full of pride! After all, this Houfu will be mine!
Ming House.
didn't wait for Ming Zhongxin to set foot in the Ming house, but saw a large number of people coming out of the house.
"CITIC, then Wu Dinghou didn't embarrass you!" One of them shouted.
Ming Zhongxin raised his eyes and looked, yo, isn't this Zhang Cai?
"CITIC, what's going on?" Ming Zhongyuan looked Ming Zhongxin up and down and asked.
"Look, I look like I'm doing something!" Ming Zhongxin smiled slightly and spun around.
"Stinky boy, making a fuss, and saying that CITIC may have been captured by the Wuding Houfu, isn't it good!" Zhang Cai turned around and slapped Li Yu's arm.
Li Yu sneered, touched his head and laughed.
"Hey, it turns out that Brother Zhang is worried about me!" Ming Zhongxin joked.
"That is, can I not worry about you? Li Yu, this kid didn't see you after a meal, and when he heard that Brother Zhongyuan said that you were taken away by Wuding Houfu, he was frightened and wanted to find Brother Shi, but he couldn't enter the imperial city, so he had to run to me and yell, saying that you were retaliated against by Wuding Houfu, and asked me to go to Houfu to save you! I put down everything I was doing and hurried over! Zhang Cai glanced at Li Yu.
Oh, now Ming Zhongxin understood, this was because he was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so Zhang Cai led a large team of people to come.
"Brother Zhang, thank you!" Ming Zhongxin bowed to Zhang Cai and thanked him.
"Our brothers don't have to be so polite!" Zhang Cai waved his hand and said with a big grin.
Looking at the grinning Zhang Cai, Mingzhong's confidence warmed, this is a heartless person, he is still sincere to himself, and he may have really made meritorious contributions to doing things before, and he has not thought about it! Well, forgive me!
