Shen Xiao looked at Shengze, and then said: "Yes, the general is also worried about the traveling caravans, so he wants to form an official caravan."
These words are just to the point, but Li Hezhou is a smart man and understands it as soon as he hears it.
"Yes, yes, our general is concerned about the country and the people, and he is the one we admire the most in the Li family." Li Hezhou quickly put a high hat on Liang Cheng, and quickly said, "But Brother Shen, I also want to say something from my heart. There shouldn’t be anyone in the Northern Hubei army who is familiar with business, right? Don’t you have any other ideas?”
There were so many ideas, but Shen Xiao didn't know some things, and it was impossible to tell Li Hezhou. He just shook his head and said: "Master Li, I am just an ordinary weapons master in the weapons supervisor, and I have only heard about many things. of."
The implication is that if you want to ask him for help, you are looking for the wrong person.
Shengze looked at Li Hezhou thoughtfully, but he did not speak rashly.
Li Hezhou himself also knew that as a refugee of the Shen family, it was impossible to know too much. He had almost no connections in the Northern Hubei Army, so he came to him as a last resort.
"Haha, Brother Shen, don't belittle yourself. I just asked casually. I came here today mainly because I want to ask, can your chili peppers be supplied for a long time? Fried pork with chili peppers is so popular in our restaurant. It's a pity. You only provided a little bit, and many customers just gave it a try. Recently, more and more people have come to ask about it. Look at this..."
There was fried pork with chili pepper on the Shen family's table just now, but Li Hezhou didn't believe they couldn't supply it.
Shen Xiao really didn't know much about this matter, so she said to him apologetically: "Second sister and fifth sister are taking care of the vegetable patch at home. Mr. Li, please wait a moment. I'll ask them to come over and ask."
After saying that, he said to Shen Yong: "Xiaosi, go and call the fifth sister and the others to come over."
Shen Yong brought the people over soon, but it was not Shen Qingman and Shen Qingning who came, but Shen Qingqian.
After working together several times, Shen Qingqian's perception of Li Hezhou has changed somewhat. Apart from anything else, they are quite happy to give him money and can be regarded as a relatively honest partner.
It's just that Li Hezhou wants the Shen family to supply peppers in batches, which may be a bit troublesome.
It's not that they can't supply it, but that Shen Qingqian planned to supply peppers to the Northern Hubei Army from the beginning, and use them as one of the special commodities to open the market outside the customs.
This is also the reason why Shen Qingman and Shen Qingning did not come.
"Miss Six, long time no see." Li Hezhou greeted Shen Qingqian quickly when he saw her.
Shen Qingqian bowed and said, "Mr. Li."
Shen Qingqian greeted Li Hezhou and then asked, "I heard that Mr. Li wants us to supply chili peppers to Yunzhongxian Restaurant on a long-term basis?"
"Exactly. I wonder how much Miss Six can supply every month?"
Shen Qingqian shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we don't supply chili peppers to outsiders."
"Oh? Why is that?" Li Hezhou raised his eyebrows. Doesn't the Shen family make money even if they have money?
Shen Qingqian said helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to, but Chili Pepper has been reserved by the Northern Hubei Army for a long time."
"The Northern Hubei Army has made a reservation?" Li Hezhou was surprised, "Does that mean you only supply the Northern Hubei Army?"
Shen Qingqian nodded, "Yes."
Li Hezhou lost his temper now. He couldn't steal anything from the Northern Hubei Army.
At this moment, Shengze suddenly spoke, "There is no room for maneuver in this matter."
Everyone in the room looked at him, only to hear Sheng Ze continue: "The imperial court does not care about the life or death of the Northern Hubei Army. If the general wants to open up the trade routes between Northern Hubei and outside the customs, he naturally needs powerful merchants and unique products... "
