After this unrestrained Chunlan poured out the potential effects of tea one by one, Zhao Zi was already trembling all over and asked Lu Shi to verify Lu Shi, but seeing that Lu Shi still smiled slightly but nodded, Zhao Zi was disappointed and helpless.

Indeed, letting a pole help the enemy and then let the enemy pull out his hands to hit him is something that a normal person would not do.

But although he had already boarded the pirate ship and was an ally, the attachment to the soon-to-be-fall Han Dynasty was still lingering.

Lu Shi looked at Zhao Zi who was excited and disappointed, and couldn't help feeling pitiful and sad. This Ming Dynasty was not without loyal ministers, but all loyal ministers were excluded. How could it be expressed?

Seeing Zhao Zi sitting back on the chair dejectedly, Lu Shi smiled gently and said, "I know in a Wanderer's Note that in the West, there is a Western Thailand. It is not only civilized and developed, but also a famous saying: "One hand musket and the other hand tea bowl are rampant in the world. It seems that it makes sense, so I did it accordingly, and the result was very good, but these effects are not cured by the medicine in a day or a few bowls of tea."

Seeing that Zhao Zi, who had no strength to express doubts about his knowledge, was still sitting there dejectedly. Lu Shi had to smile bitterly and said meaningfully to him: "If this statement is written to the court by the old man, it will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty."

Zheng Hongda knew and actively wrote a letter to advise the Sichuan governor about the benefits of tea, but he was just a merchant after all. In this world, merchants were not as good as a prostitute. It was only a dream to change his mind by a governor who regarded himself as a scholar. If Zhao Zi, a serious official from Jinshi, wrote a letter to suggest, it might even be effective. After all, the Han people still need mutual support in the world. As for fighting each other, it is just a matter between brothers.

When Zhao Zi heard this, he couldn't help but be extremely happy and became interested again. But after thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly. Those Qingliu would not listen. Tea is the symbol of officials. If ordinary people are allowed to drink it, wouldn't the world be in chaos? In order to maintain their advantages, those Qingliu, even a little change, use a hundred times of strength to suppress it, let alone this?

When Lu Shi saw Zhao Zi's expression, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, so he changed his words: "If you give advice to your like-minded people, you might as well be a lot of gifts in your pocket, hahahahaha."

When Zhao Zi heard Lu Shi's irresistible words, he was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up, straightened his hat, straightened his long gown, came to Lu Shi, and respectfully compiled it to Lu Shiyi. After a long time, he got up and sat back to the seat.

This time, Zhao Zi really convinced the young man of his mind, ability and ethics, doing what he should do, doing what he should do, and doing what he should do. This is a real man. Being such an ally is worth it.

Master Zhao Zi couldn't help but look at his eyes after hearing the words of several people. If this is the case, then he would have mastered the lifeblood of the trespassing army. First, Yichuan controls the channels for salt transport in Yuncheng, Shanxi to five counties. Second, my master was born in a thousand-year-old family in the south. The officials from all dynasties in the family can be described as car-mounted. Due to the accumulation of thousands of years, the influence of the master's family in the south has surpassed the influence of the court on the local area, and has reached a point of clamoring for a hundred promises. Think about it, as long as those tea merchants are called not to traffic tea into the base area, the two most important things will be stuck by themselves, and his unique strong army will be destroyed. If I report this most important intelligence with the court, compared with the small profits of the current flies and the reward of the official body by the court, it would be a world of difference, then—

Before his thoughts could be finished in his mind, Zhao Xing looked up at the master calmly and gave him a smile of understanding. However, anyone who saw that smile would arouse a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing such eyes, thinking about how many days Zhao Xing is now, he is as if he is naked and has nowhere to hide. The master quickly threw this indecent idea out of the sky, the farther he throws the better, for fear that he will think of this matter again.

Lu Shi looked at Zhao Zi who calmed down and suddenly smiled, "Look, we're off topic again, it's better to say that it's better to be serious." After saying this, Zhao Xing and Chunlan both smiled helplessly, and Zhao Zi and his master laughed even more happily, and even said, "You run well, you run well."

"Just now, I was talking about opening up the source, and now, I want to talk about severance."

When literati often do not understand open source and only focus on reducing traffic. Of course, Zhao Zi was interested in this statement.

"Let me talk about the county magistrate, the method of transporting taxes to border areas."

Zhao Zi listened carefully, "One pound of grain is transported, but five pounds are consumed. However, the current dynasty has to send all these to the people. The freight and the food of the Master along the way are also burdened by the people. How can we not stir up civil unrest?"

Zhao Zi had nodded, but he was helpless. In fact, this was also the way for a group of officials to make money. He just didn't want to learn it, but there was no other way to imagine the official Weibo romance.

"But the way to change this disadvantage is actually very simple. As long as everyone holds the money, squats in front of the border military camp, waiting to buy the merchant's food and grass. In this way, it will save the worries of losses and not bother the people. The merchants make huge profits. Why not do it if they make all the best."

As soon as these words were said, Zhao Zi couldn't help but be disappointed again. He thought that Lu Shi, who had all the omnipotence and always had a unique method, but it turned out that this was the case. In fact, this method was implemented in Hongwu, called "inciting the quota", asking merchants to transport grain to the military camp, and then prescribe salt quota for merchants. It was originally a public-private and private quota, but then he left. After the merchant transported a portion of salt quota, he did not transport it again. He took this portion of salt quota but mixed with hundreds of portions of private salt. This was a complete profit. What did he do with hard work?

It seems that Lu Shi, opposite Lu Shi, had already understood Zhao Zi's idea and said carelessly: "Actually, Hongwu's method is good, but the disadvantage is that this salt ingot can contain ten or hundreds of portions of private salt, so everyone is not very enthusiastic. Just get one salt ingot a year, so why do you have to continue working hard? But we are delivering it in cash. As long as you deliver it to the market, I will buy it at a price of 50% higher than the market without any speculation. How can those merchants not take advantage of the profit above half and get you up early and late? In fact, the loss of merchants will definitely not exceed 10%. Old sir, let's wait and see."

These are all things that are familiar to later generations, and they are absolutely useful, but this method can only be used in Zhao Zi or the four counties under his jurisdiction, but the others are not, because as Zhao Zi said, everyone is still counting on the transportation here. Who else is worried about the life or death of the common people?

"This can only be an experiment." Zhao Zi was perfunctory and Lu Shi stopped forcing it. Practice is the standard for testing the truth, so let the facts speak.

Zhao Zi mentioned another question with concern at this time, that is, Shanxi's reaction. Although he was not very worried in his tone, he mentioned the key to Yichuan Wharf. "The wharf will become more and more prosperous, but there will be more and more jealousy. The most important thing is Shanxi. If the wharf in Shanxi is extremely greedy, how should we handle it?"

Regarding economy, Zhao Zi believes that he, a disciple of the saint, has absolutely no right to speak, because the saint despises this skill of competing for profit with the people. But in fact, without the business of merchants, he really doesn't know what the world would look like. For example, if there is no merchant transit, his income will be a delusion.

Lu Shi looked at Zhao Zi and was very impressed by his foresight. Indeed, the first person who was jealous of the Shanxi Ferry Crossing opposite was definitely the Shanxi Ferry Crossing opposite. This is really in front of him. Although Zhao Zi is equivalent to an idiot in economics, he has absolute experience in dealing with relationships up and down.

Lu Shi smiled faintly and said, "Everyone is rich, I think Shanxi is happy to see it happen, so it shouldn't be too difficult." After thinking about it, he said, "Even if the other party does it too much, we can discuss it, right?"

Seeing Lu Shi say this, Zhao Zi couldn't help but smile and shake his head. It seems that although this young man is different from others, he knows nothing about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. It is common for his own interests to harm his neighbors. How can he care about others' lives and death? Not to mention that for money, he will use any dirty tricks without any vague use. Look at Lu Shi with a righteous face and shook his head secretly. Now, don't say too much. When things come out, let this passionate young gentleman slowly feel the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

At this time, Wang Jian, who was standing far away from the door, came in and bowed to Lu Shi and said, "Teacher, the butler at home is here. Please go back and have something to discuss."

Lu Shi looked at the sky, and before he knew it, it was already setting sun. Although the talk was not over, he had already said everything he should say, and he understood it as well. The rest was cooperation.

So Zhao Zi also stood up, laughed, and bowed to Lu Shi: "I have a meeting with my little brother today, but I have gained countless insights, which can be said to be a comforting life."

Lu Shi also stood up and returned the gift, and said with a faint smile: "I feel the same, the same feeling, but I want to pay attention to the cooperation between Yichuan Ferry Crossing."

"Hahaha, my little brother is open and honest, but I want to benefit from your wealth. Don't think about this matter too much. We can make a fortune in cooperation, big deals, and have to do with big players to have a future, right? That's it."

"Okay, I'm going to go now, I'm ready to go." After that, he bowed slightly, took Zhao Xingchunlan, greeted Dalang and Zhang Xiao outside, and rode away on horseback.

Looking at Lu Shi who was getting farther and farther away, Zhao Zi kept his hands behind his back and kept silent for a long time, and the master stood beside him and looked away with him.

Zhao Zi suddenly slapped his hands: "It's worth it, it's worth working with him." After saying that, he laughed happily and strides towards the road back.
