Zhang Zhengdao secretly chuckled, this Fang Jinzhi is really stupid, silly girls are good, silly girls are easy to deceive.

"Brother Fang, do you know what kind of person Miss Fang wants to marry?" Zhang Zhengdao asked with a smile.

Fang Jinzhi frowned and thought for a moment. He didn't know what kind of person his aunt Fang Baihua liked, so he could only reply: "I don't know about that. You are definitely not good at it anyway."

Seeing Fang Jinzhi's face full of disdain, Zhang Zhengdao continued: "I am very sincere."

Fang Jinzhi put down his chopsticks, said seriously with a straight face: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, I advise you to give up."

Zhang Zhengdao didn't take it seriously, took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "How do you know that swans don't like toads?"

Fang Jinzhi saw that this man was a rogue, so he ignored him.

When Zhang Zhengdao saw this, he stopped teasing her and looked carefully at the situation in the lobby. He saw only twos and threes of men sitting there, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, outside the restaurant, a fat monk and a man dressed as a scholar entered.

The great monk touched his shiny head, smiled, and greeted the people in the hall.

"Is that monk Deng Yuanjue, the 'Baoguang Tathagata'?" Zhang Zhengdao turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Fang Jinzhi felt a little uncomfortable seeing this man's face so close, so he straightened his body back, revealing some of his "chest muscles."

"It's Master Deng!" Fang Jinzhi replied.

Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "Who is that person next to him?"

Fang Jinzhi glanced at it and said impatiently: "I don't know him."

Zhang Zhengdao didn't take it seriously and just stared at Deng Yuanjue.

The scholar next to him was greeting the people in the hall one by one and chatting softly.

After a while, a man stepped into the restaurant with a smile on his face. Then he walked to the center, coughed, cleared his throat, cupped his fists and said, "Brothers, please stay away from the founder of Mingjiao."

"Ancestor, you Mingjiao invited us here this time. What on earth did you do so mysteriously?" shouted a big man with scars on his face.

Zu Shiyuan smiled and said: "Of course it is a good thing."

"What good thing?" the man asked curiously.

Everyone is also waiting for Zu Shiyuan to reveal the answer.

Then I heard Zu Shiyuan continue to say: "Everyone who can come is my friend of Mingjiao. Today, I have a good thing for you."

"I, the Mingjiao, are selling salt today. The price is naturally lower than that of the imperial court." Zu Shiyuan looked around and said with a smile: "I know that you are all heroes of the Xiao Ju party, but you can't raise many soldiers and horses just by robbing homes and houses.

."

"Is there any business in the Song Dynasty that is more profitable than selling salt?" Zu Shiyuan asked back. Seeing that everyone was thinking, he clapped his hands. Several Mingjiao followers carried many bags and placed them on each table.

A bag.

"Although this salt is not very fine, it is better than cheap." Zu Shiyuan casually opened the bag and showed the white salt inside.

"Mr. Ancestor, how do you sell this salt?" someone asked loudly.

Zu Shiyuan smiled and said: "Since our Mingjiao sells salt, we will naturally give you a fair price."

The ancestor saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He moved a few steps, raised two fingers and said: "Twenty coins per catty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hotel hall burst into noise.

Those who are familiar with the price of salt will naturally know that this price is extremely cheap. The worst quality salt sold by the imperial court costs thirty cents per catty.

"Ancestor, how much does Mingjiao produce each month?" Someone looked around. With so many people, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get much if they divided it into their own hands.

Zu Shiyuan smiled and said: "You can have as many as you want!"

"Okay, I, Tianzhu Mountain, need 10,000 kilograms of salt every month!" After someone took the lead, they heard shouts one after another, and for a while, the restaurant was noisy.

Zu Shiyuan waved his hands and shouted: "Everyone, please don't mess up. Each family will send a brother to the back hall to have some drinks, and then report the quantity to my teacher. The salt you want will be delivered to you on time every month."

Village."

Zhang Zhengdao sat on a chair and thought about the Mingjiao's intention of selling salt. Could it be that he relied on this to win over the hearts of the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River for the future!

"Why don't you buy it?" Fang Jinzhi was a little confused. Didn't this man just keep saying that he was quite wealthy? Would he be a fool if he didn't buy such cheap salt?

Zhang Zhengdao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Not interested."

Although Liangshan is also short of money, it is already opening up sea trade. As long as the route is familiar, it will naturally not be short of money again. Zhang Zhengdao is not interested in being a second-rate dealer for Fang La and selling salt.

Fang Jinzhi frowned and said, "You don't even make money even if you have money?"

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "No profit."

Fang Jinzhi was speechless.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "If Fang Yuanwai is willing to marry his sister to me, I would be somewhat interested."

Fang Jinzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Dream!"

After saying that, get up and leave.

Shan Shiqi had been standing behind Zhang Zhengdao. When he saw Fang Geng leaving, he sat down and whispered: "Brother, it seems that this Mingjiao is trying to win people's hearts."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk after we go back to the room."

The two stood up and left, but no one stopped them.

Entering the room, Zhang Zhengdao thought in his mind that if calculated according to time, Fang La's uprising would still be at least seven years away from now, but the layout started from now on.

Fang La, who was stirring up half of the country in the southeast, picked the wrong time to raise a flag of rebellion.

The Song Dynasty was not as weak as imagined.

In addition, the imperial court had just reached an alliance with the Jurchens, and 200,000 elite Western troops were assembled to destroy the Liao Dynasty, but Fang La jumped out at this time and refused to beat you.

It was vigorous and vigorous, but it lasted less than a year before it was completely wiped out by Tong Guan.

Immediately, the Western Army moved northward, but was defeated by the Liao people who were about to destroy the country.

Zhang Zhengdao looked solemn. The Liao people who were able to defeat the Western Army were defeated by the Jurchens, and the country was destroyed by the Jurchens. The fighting power of these barbarians who grew up among the white mountains and black waters should not be underestimated.

Shan Shiqi naturally didn't know what Zhang Zhengdao was thinking, so he said: "Brother, it seems that this Mingjiao has a very big plan."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "In any case, although the leader of the Ming Cult did not show up this time, he finally knows their purpose, and it is not in vain."

Shan Shiqi said: "Liangzhe Road produces salt. It seems that Mingjiao has several salt fields. Otherwise, such a large amount of salt would not be so easy to obtain."

The imperial court has always cracked down hard on private salt dealers. Since the Mingjiao dares to boast about getting as much as they want, they must be controlling the hidden salt fields.

Zhang Zhengdao thought of what happened in Liangshan and said, "Have a rest overnight and rush back to Liangshan tomorrow."

Fang La was no longer willing to be lonely, and with the addition of Hebei Tianhu, the green forest road of the Song Dynasty became more and more lively.

Although Liangshan has been keeping a low profile and not showing its edge, compared to the Western Army, the Liao and Jurchens, it is really not enough. It is still necessary to capture Goryeo early and support the Liangshan soldiers with the power of one country, so that it can have the capital to sweep the world.<
