The excitement in front of her was definitely something Zheng Yueru had never expected before.
Since its official opening in the evening, Fengming Tower has always been packed with people. One crop after another, this is simply phenomenal in the barren Yinzhou.
"What a treat, what a poem, what a drink!"
Even Huang Lao, who is seventy or eighty years old, lingers around today and doesn't know when he will return.
It reopened today, and all of Liu Zheng's promotional methods came in handy. One is the attraction of the couplets to people. Countless people wanted to use the couplets to climb to the second, third or even fourth floors. However, no one could get up all night. In the end, Chen Xiang was so angry that he drank a few glasses of drunken Yinzhou and smashed three hundred taels in anger before he could go to the second-floor Shui Mo Pavilion just to enjoy the feeling of being superior!
Now the prince was unhappy.
You want to be condescending?
You will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains!
These are the verses and couplets Liu Zheng added to the Wangshu Terrace.
I also want to see all the mountains and small mountains!
One thousand taels, go to the third floor!
It's a lot of fun here, especially in Fengming Pavilion. Although there are many poor scholars here, there are also many scholars from middle-class families.
Today's topic in Fengming Pavilion is "Yinzhou Policy Discussion"!
It sounds very grand, but in fact the content covers many aspects. What is debated is how to develop Yinzhou, how to change this barren and backward appearance, what important mission does the emergence of the county magistrate shoulder, and where should we start first?
certainly.
This issue must have been raised by Liu Zheng.
So, tonight, he took a bottle of wine, ordered a plate of peanuts, and sat next to him, drinking and listening.
Regarding this point of view, literati naturally have their own opinions.
This also allowed Liu Zheng to understand the ideological trends of these intellectuals in Yinzhou. This thing is still very important for a territory.
After observing for a moment, he already came to a conclusion.
Generally speaking, these scholars in Yinzhou can be divided into three factions. One is the conservatives. They feel that the re-emergence of the county magistrates is of little significance to Yinzhou. After all, people in this era still rely on mountains and rivers to feed themselves. The barrenness of Yinzhou has not changed for many years. They also hope that the four original prominent families can bring more changes to Yinzhou in terms of business. Therefore, they are more supportive of maintaining the status quo and letting the four prominent families lead the development of Yinzhou.
The second type is the radicals. This group of scholars is mainly represented by the poor scholar Shen Xingxing. Shen Xing believes that the county princes will definitely bring something different to Yinzhou. The four prominent families have controlled Yinzhou for a long time, but Yinzhou is still weak. If the system is not changed, Yinzhou will not be governed.
The third type is the neutral faction, which I won’t talk about naturally.
In fact, this is the difference between those with vested interests and those seeking change. Liu Zheng still studied "The Prince" quite a lot, and he wanted to establish himself in Yinzhou. There are two points: to stabilize those with vested interests and to win over those who make changes. So he must first understand who is hungry for change.
He also considered the attitudes of the four major families.
Just killing them will definitely not work.
Then, the most important thing is checks and balances!
This is why he chose to cooperate with the Zheng family. Using barbarians to control barbarians is always the smartest choice.
"A few young men over there are vying for a panoramic view of the mountains. I see that Brother Liu is somewhat aloof and arrogant even though he is sitting on the first floor!"
At this moment, Zheng Yueru, whose face was red from drinking, came over with a wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
"Ms. Zheng, are you relieved?"
Liu Zheng laughed and gave up the seat next to him. At this time, Shen Xing was having a red-faced debate with some conservatives. He listened with great interest.
Zheng Yueru smiled calmly: "Brother Liu is a great talent, I will never question him from now on!"
"I came here..."
She wanted to speak, but Liu Zheng raised his wine glass and smiled: "Just let it go and let's talk about it later?"
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly in her heart and could only nod.
In fact, Liu Zheng knew what she wanted to talk about here, and it was nothing more than the sales rights of "Drunken Yinzhou"! Today, anyone who is not a fool will see the huge business opportunity of "Drunk Silver State". How could a big business like the Zheng family not be interested?
Zheng Yueru naturally grasped "Drunken Yinzhou" firmly in her hands immediately.
However, Liu Zheng was not in a hurry.
Of course, if he himself wanted to sell "Drunken Silver State", that would definitely be unrealistic. This is why he still has to deal with these prominent families, because he needs their sales network! For example, the Zheng family's cavalry and the entire Longyang Dynasty are not the strength that ordinary people can have.
And this does not affect him from waiting for the price.
So no matter how Zheng Yueru brought the topic to the "Drunken Silver State", Liu Zheng just smiled and avoided talking about it.
Finished talking about this.
Of course, there are also wine lovers over there.
Today Liu Zheng prepared three carts of "Drunken Yinzhou", weighing a thousand pounds! Unexpectedly, it will bottom out tonight!
With these horizontal and vertical promotion methods, Fengming Tower is simply very lively.
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, we've made it this time!"
When he returned to the county houfu, it was already early in the morning, but Liu Dahao was still awake.
"oh?"
Liu Zheng chuckled, not to mention the excitement as he watched his father calculating accounts in the accounting room.
"Is this settled?"
Liu Zheng asked in surprise.
Liu Dahao said hey: "Either the Zheng family is quite kind! Let's give Fengminglou a pound of Zuiyinzhou ten taels of silver. What Miss Zheng said is that every time we deliver goods, we borrow money on the spot!"
Liu Zheng nodded.
Zheng Yueru fought hard for the right to sell this fine wine. Not only does Zui Yinzhou settle the accounts alone, he still has to split the profits 50/50 with himself.
"This is... ten thousand taels?"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
Liu Dahao is also very proud of his son. You know, he has been walking in shopping malls for so many years, and the former richest man in Liangzhou has never seen someone who can make so much money...
The cost of one thousand catties of Zui Yinzhou is only five hundred taels!
What kind of profit is this?
"You didn't promise her anything, did you?"
Liu Zheng was also very happy.
With these ten thousand taels, he can do a lot of things! Suddenly he looked at Liu Dahao and asked.
Liu Dahao was shocked: "Zheng'er, your father and I are not stupid. How could I easily promise something like Zui Yinzhou to her Zheng family?"
Only then did Liu Zheng remember that his father was also a profiteer.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
The next day.
Sure enough, before Liu Zheng got up, someone came to visit him.
"Who is it?"
Hearing that the courtyard next to him was quite lively, Liu Zheng got up under the service of the maid. Although he was not used to being served by a girl like this, after all, he really didn't know how to wear these ancient clothes.
"Sir, the master of the Chen family is here!"
The maid replied.
"oh?"
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
These people's movements are quite fast.
"Yes, Master Chen has sent you a big gift. I have never seen Master Chen be so polite to anyone before!" The maid covered her mouth and chuckled.
When they arrived at the living room, as expected, the old man in golden clothes was Chen Kui who was the most noisy at the door on the first day they came to Yinzhou. At this time, he was sitting below, chatting with Liu Dahao with a smile. When he saw When Liu Zheng arrived, he stood up immediately and said with a cheerful smile: "Young Master Liu, your reputation is far and wide!"
"Now there is a saying spread throughout Liangzhou: to have a son, you should be like a son of the Liu family!"
"Hey, pity those useless children of my Chen family."
Chen Kui praised him so much that Liu Zheng almost blushed.
The hypocrisy of these ancient people is also quite terrifying.
This Chen Kui is also a well-rounded person. During the chat, he asked the county lord if he was lacking anything, and the Chen family could help him. He didn't mention that he wanted the sales rights of "Drunk Yinzhou", and then he said that when the county prince's mansion was rebuilt, he would definitely come to support him, so he left.
Old fox!
As soon as Chen Kui left, Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao cursed at the same time.
Then what I didn't expect was that as soon as Chen Kui left, the Wang family came, followed closely by the Cao family. The actions of the three families are almost the same. They all come to the door with gifts, greet them with greetings, and then urge the county magistrate to open the palace as soon as possible. They will provide all kinds of full support, without mentioning "Drunken Yinzhou", and then leave.
After these three families came one after another, Liu Zheng's face slowly darkened and he slapped the table with a loud bang.
This startled Liu Dahao and he stood up: "Zheng'er, why is this?"
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "Father, didn't you hear? These three families actually dared to threaten us!"
Liu Dahao was shocked, and then he realized the deeper meaning of this. The three families didn't mention a word about "Drunk Yinzhou", but they kept talking about the opening of the county houfu, which meant something!
The threat is already obvious!
The three families came here today. The first reason is to persuade the county magistrate to stay, because then they will have the opportunity to seize the sales rights of this "Drunken Silver State", and the other purpose is to threaten them!
The right to sell, if not given to us.
Then, the day when the mansion is opened is the time to give you a good look!
It also shows from another aspect that even if the county magistrate stays in Yinzhou, it will still be very easy for us to manipulate you!
"this……"
Liu Dahao was so angry that he was trembling all over: "This is too much, this is too much bullying!"
Liu Zheng's eyes also flashed, and he asked: "How is the training of the soldiers?"
Liu Dahao immediately took Liu Zheng to the place where the county houfu soldiers were trained. In the past few days, Liu Dahao had recruited 300 young men and handed them over to Qin Changfeng for training.
But after all, the time is short and it cannot form combat effectiveness.
In this land of Yinzhou, the folk customs are fierce and fierce. Each of the four prominent families has two thousand elite soldiers and thousands of war horses! How can three hundred shake them?
No wonder they dared to come and threaten me today.
"Zheng'er, what should we do?"
Liu Dahao was worried.
Who would have thought that he just wanted to be a county magistrate, and all the crises that followed his dream?
Liu Zheng said coldly: "Inform the four prominent families that each will send a representative to the county in three days to discuss the matter of Zuiyinzhou!"
Liu Dahao's face changed drastically: "Zheng'er, please don't burn the boat. If you are impulsive, my father and son will explain it here!"
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.
Is he that stupid?
But in this current situation, he could only consider outsmarting him.
