Looking at the name on the greeting card, Wang Yuan was slightly surprised: "Who is this Master Fang?"
I came to stay at night last night, and this person wanted to visit early in the morning, and I didn’t even know him yet!
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Master Fang is a great philanthropist in our Ping County. He is good at doing good things. He builds bridges and roads, gives gruel to disaster relief, adopts orphans and widows, builds temples, and does good deeds. Even the county magistrate respects him!"
Wang Yuan frowned: "I want to hear the truth!"
The big tiger on the side took out an ingot of five taels of silver.
The shopkeeper happily took the money, but he was still very conservative and said: "Master Wang, Mr. Fang is a powerful man in our Ping County. He is known as Fang Bancheng. He owns less than half of the houses in Ping County. Even the county magistrate wants to avoid him."
I heard that it is related in the county and town, but I don’t know about other small ones!"
It turned out to be a powerful person from the county. Wang Yuan said expressionlessly: "Then invite him over!"
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and trotted out the door.
Not long after, two servants carried food boxes, and Fang Fodong came in with clasped fists: "Master Wang, your Majesty is coming to Ping County. Why don't you send someone to notify Fang and let him show his loyalty to the landlord? It's not worth it to be early."
It’s expensive, but it’s all made by a master chef, and the taste is quite decent!”
The two servants immediately opened the food boxes and brought them out in plates and dishes. The aroma was emanating from the air.

"Master Fang is interested!"
Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "No reward for no merit, it seems we don't know each other!"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
Judging from the shopkeeper's reaction, this Fang Fodong is not a good person!
"Young Master Wang, you have a big family and a big business, but you didn't take this little person like me to heart!"
A flash of sullenness flashed in his eyes, and Fang Fo said with a smile: "I am a salt merchant in Ping County. I also buy salt from Feicang Salt Well, so I am begging for food under the prince!"
This arrogant boy actually pretends that he has never heard of him. He is so arrogant!
No wonder the imperial court decreed that it would not be subject to scientific examination and would never be used.
Give him three points of face, he really treats himself as a person, and he doesn't know how to behave at all!
"Salt merchant!"
Wang Yuan's face was serious: "My cousin is taking care of the salt industry and I am not involved. If Mr. Fang wants to talk about this, you can go to Jiushan County to find him."
Fang Fodong rubbed his hands: "Young Master Wang, who doesn't know that your cousin is just a guise, and you are the one who really makes the decision. I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. It costs more than 300 yuan to transport salt from Jiushan County to Pingxian County.
Here, the Fang family is losing money every year, please lower the price to give the Fang family a way to survive!"
Wang Yuan chuckled and said: "Since the Fang family is losing money every year, I will write a letter back immediately and ask Feicang Yanjing to stop giving salt to the Fang family, lest the Fang family will go bankrupt!"
The salt produced in Feicang Salt Well is distributed to the three counties of Jiushan, Longnan and Pingding!
At the beginning, when Wang Yuan took over the salt industry, all the salt merchants in the three counties were honest and no one dared to say anything.
Then the imperial court issued a decree of punishment, and these salt merchants became restless!
During the New Year, Wang Sihai went back and said that these salt merchants sent people to demand a reduction in salt prices!
Among them, the salt merchants in Longnan County jumped even more!
Nowadays, the salt produced in Feicang is refined salt after an extra step of filtration.
Afraid of increasing the burden on the people, the salt was wholesaled to these merchants at the rate of twenty-five cents per pound.
Salt in Ping County sells for seventy cents per catty!
Not to mention these salt dealers, after getting the refined salt, they mix it with 20% sand and sell it to the people.
He actually saw the court's popularity and came to force him to lower the price. He was simply greedy!
Fang Fodong's expression changed, and he smiled softly and said: "Master Wang, it seems that you haven't understood clearly yet, what is the current change in form?"
