Chapter 2835 Purpose

Cheng Jiulang didn't say a word. The Cheng family was just a small business, and he couldn't even understand his own life. Where did he get the leisure to worry about these big men?

But he definitely couldn't say that to the person on the other side. He smiled and asked, "Sir, still don't plan to work?"

The person opposite shook his head and sighed: "Although His Majesty got angry and sent a group of people last year, Qingzhou has been Shen Ke for a long time, and it is very difficult to change. I am just a little Mingjing, and I can only start from a clerk. If you want to be promoted in Qingzhou, you have to join forces with others, and if you want to be alone, you cannot enter the Qingzhou officialdom.”

Cheng Jiulang was startled, and quickly whispered, "Mr. Qian, be careful."

Mr. Qian didn't want to be cautious at all, and after drinking another glass of wine, he said, "If you don't look at it from a distance, you can tell by the taste of the food now. The old man of the Shang family started to get sick a few years ago, how did the disease come about? Not angry yet."

"I don't know if I can survive this summer."

Cheng Jiulang: ...Why did the topic suddenly become scary?

But the topic in the big box upstairs became more and more harmonious. After the meal came, Mrs. Lu finally found a chance to talk to Zhou Man, and she introduced the dishes to Zhou Man diligently and considerately, and said with a smile: " We are near the sea in Qingzhou, so some fish are not found in the Central Plains, and the fish we made today is the fish that was picked up from the sea, Master Zhou can taste it, it is very delicious and tender.”

The fish was steamed, but it was covered with a layer of shredded ginger, shredded radish, and two kinds of shredded silk that Manbao could not see. There was a sauce-colored soup under the plate. When you dip into the soup, the meat is fresh and tender, and it melts when you chew it. The most wonderful thing is that there is no earthy smell of ordinary river fish at all. It is only steamed and has few ingredients, which can maximize the deliciousness of the fish itself.

Man Bao nodded slightly and said happily, "It's delicious."

She asked excitedly, "Is there such a fish in Beihai County?"

Keke's data are more active.

The county magistrate's eyes flashed, and he immediately nodded: "Of course, Yidu County has only a small corner by the sea, but the coast of Beihai County is extremely long and deep. The fish we eat now is still bought from the fishermen in Beihai County. what?"

Bai Shan was also moved when he heard the words, and asked, "Are there many people in Beihai County who make a living by fishing?"

County magistrate Lu said with a smile: "Not a lot, but not a lot. I don't remember exactly how many."

"All the fish caught by the fishermen are sent to Qingzhou City?"

This is nothing to hide. The county magistrate Lu wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Bai Shan, so he said: "Not all of them, some good fish will be delivered, some will be digested by themselves in the county town, most of them are average. All the fish will be dried and dried, Master Bai has heard of salted fish, right?"

Bai Shan nodded.

County magistrate Lu smiled and said: "The herdsmen in the north, especially the grasslands, like our salted fish very much, and we can also sell some in the central plains, but this kind of food has a strong smell, is not good, and the price can't go up. It's shipped. Salted fish, then no other goods can be transported, so few merchants are willing to do this kind of business."

Bai Shan said with a smile: "The county magistrate Lu also said that salted fish is very popular in the North, and since there is a profit, there should be merchants to do it. As long as something is valuable, no matter how it tastes, everyone will do everything possible. is to do.”

The county magistrate was pleasantly surprised by Bai Shan's remarks, and before he had time to speak, Cao Lushi, who was sitting on the other side, had already said: "This is true, but the magistrate Bai didn't know when he arrived, and those businessmen were very cunning. When there is no capital, they trick the fishermen into catching wild fish and sell them dried fish cheaply. After one or two trips, they are unwilling to continue this business after they have obtained enough capital. Hmph, I dislike the taste of salted fish, so I have to change it. other business."

"So the fishermen along the coast are hungry for one year and two years, and the unit price is very low in the year when they make more money. The fishermen did not know that they were still catching a lot of fish, drying them and waiting for people to collect them, but when the time came, no one came, and in the end, all the salted fish fell into their hands.”

Cao Lushi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't help but patted the table and said, "These fishermen are also stupid, really stupid and bitter. If people don't come, they will wait, sometimes for a year, sometimes for two years, some It takes three years to wait for a few merchants who buy a large number of salted fish. But they can't calculate whether people will come in the coming year, and the salted fish will not come, so they can only hunt hard every day and wait until people come. Now, if there are many merchants who come, they will sell a fish for ten cents or twenty cents, and when there are few merchants who come and ask for a large amount, they will fight for themselves, two or three cents, no matter how much money they sell out.”

Bai Shan saw that although he cursed stupidly, his eyes were a little red.

Cao Lushi looked at the magistrate Lu with admiration and moved: "It was only after the magistrate Lu arrived that the situation eased a little. He set the lowest price for the merchants who came to buy, and talked with the merchants, and finally signed the agreement. With the contract, they can buy salted fish in Beihai County, but they can't lower than the lowest price. If they don't do this business in the future, they have to find a merchant to take over this business."

"In this way, the fishermen in Beihai County have had a better life in the past two years."

The county magistrate waited for him to finish before he quickly said: "Where, where, this is what I should do. As a magistrate, I want to benefit the people of the same place."

Bai Shan and Zhou Man confirmed that the county magistrate Lu was the idol of this Cao Lushi.

Bai Shan immediately raised his glass and said, "Even if it's just due diligence, this glass should be respected by the county magistrate."

Man Bao also immediately raised his cup, "Yes, Jinglu County Magistrate."

Cao Lushi even stood up full of wine, raised his glass and said, "Lord Lu, the lower official wanted to honor you for a long time..."

All the people present also raised their glasses to compliment the county magistrate Qi Lu.

Even the county magistrate Lu was sober enough, he was complimented for a while, and his face was bright red. Good, and then respect Zhouman.

To Zhou Man, he almost had tears in his eyes and said: "We have heard about the deeds of Lord Zhou in Qingzhou. You have excellent medical skills, and you have strongly recommended the construction of a local medical office to benefit the poor people. You can be called a great doctor. , this cup of the county congratulates you."

Man Bao always felt that he was raising first and then suppressing, but he still raised his glass to drink.

Sure enough, this cup started to get to the point, and the county magistrate said with a smile: "Where does Mr. Zhou want to build the medical office? There are seven counties in Qingzhou, and these seven counties are all under the jurisdiction of the adult medical office. Shi Shi has not yet arrived, but as long as Lord Zhou says, I can still fight for you."

The voice just fell, Zhou Man hadn't spoken yet, Duan Xiancheng had already laughed: "Isn't this a non-existent question, sir, since the county magistrate is here, the medical office is naturally built in Beihai County."
