"Zheng Cheng pays homage to the general."
Gongsun Ming was summoned, so Zheng Cheng didn't dare not to come. However, although he saluted respectfully, deep in his eyes there was a hint of extreme dissatisfaction. For no other reason than half a month ago, Gongsun Ming said that he was going to present a big gift. Wealth and honor were given to the Zheng family. Although Zheng Cheng didn't believe it, he was arrested because of his sore feet. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to Gongsun Ming's request and gave him a "deposit" of 70,000 yuan in advance, but they never saw each other again. There was some commotion in Gongsun Ming's office. In Zheng Cheng's view, Gongsun Ming's so-called salt industry plan was just a new way to exploit his Zheng family. When he was suddenly summoned, he couldn't help but think that Gongsun Ming was up to his old tricks again. It's strange that Zheng Cheng feels better after using it.
"Clan Chief Zheng came just in time. He had an appointment with you half a month ago. Now, everything is ready. Have the plans related to the Zheng family been completed?"
Gongsun Mingzheng was extremely excited, but he never noticed the difference in Zheng Cheng's eyes. He got to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ah, this..."
Zheng Cheng originally believed that Gongsun Ming's salt industry plan was just a cover, and he would not spend time preparing a business plan. Now when he heard Gongsun Ming's words, he was dumbfounded.
"Um?"
Seeing Zheng Cheng's ignorance, Gongsun Ming's face immediately dropped, his eyes swept over him like knives, and he let out a cold snort full of chilling aura.
"General, please calm down. It's not because Zheng is careless. It's really unbelievable. Zheng, Zheng..."
Facing Gongsun Ming's sharp gaze, Zheng Cheng, even though he was considered a very powerful person in the city, was so shocked that he lowered his head. He did not dare to say the excuse he had prepared in his heart.
"Is it unbelievable? Haha, that's right. That's all. If I don't let Patriarch Zheng see the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be convinced. That's all. Prepare after you go back and rush to the Yuyang Salt Fields with XX early tomorrow morning."
When Zheng Cheng told the truth, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Zheng Cheng was not the only one who didn't believe that the salt farm could produce such a large output. Even Wang He and other close confidants had no idea about this matter in private. All were unanimous in their extreme scepticism.
"promise!"
As soon as Gongsun Ming said these words, the confusion in Zheng Cheng's eyes became a little more intense. However, in view of the previous record of being severely beaten, he did not dare to hesitate and could only stick to his promise...
"It's coming, haha, it's coming, come on, play music!"
At 1 o'clock in the west, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was full of colorful clouds. It turned most of the sea red, and the scenery was like a painting. However, Gongsun Fan had no intention of admiring it, and looked at the far end of the avenue with wide eyes. When he saw smoke and dust billowing from the distance, he shouted excitedly, and then he saw the drumming group that had been on standby for a long time and started playing cheerful music with great energy.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
The elder had the foresight to realize that Gongsun Fan had held such a grand welcome ceremony. Gongsun Ming could not help but frown. This was because the technical content of the salt-drying method was not very high, so confidentiality work was difficult. In order to keep it a secret, Gongsun Ming himself did not tell even Wang He and other close confidants. But Gongsun Fan actually brought such idle people as the drumming troupe to the salt field. It was too ignorant. Just thinking about the old relationship, Gongsun Ming was not in a hurry to point out Gongsun Fan's fault. Instead, he got off his horse and bowed to Gongsun Fan very respectfully.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, hahaha... Uncle, just follow your method. Hey, it's really done. Let's go and take a look inside!"
Gongsun Fan doesn't have any great ambitions, but his loyalty to the Gongsun family is not a bit false. He has been extremely tired these past few months, but he doesn't complain a word. On the contrary, he is because he can help Gongsun. Ming was very busy and excited.
"Uncle, please come first."
Gongsun Ming originally wanted to get rid of the drum group, but when he saw Gongsun Fan being so excited, he couldn't ignore it. He smiled and waved his hand, and walked to the gate of the salt field with Gongsun Fan. among.
"Please take a look tomorrow. That pile of salt was produced in three days. Although I haven't given it a specific name, I estimate it to be over three hundred dan at least."
As soon as I walked into the gate of the salt field, I saw a small mountain of salt piled next to the salt field. Although it didn't look like much to Gongsun Ming, Gongsun Fan was extremely proud.
"Three days? Is this impossible?"
In his previous life, Gongsun Ming had accompanied his superiors to the salt field many times. He had long been accustomed to the scale of the salt field's output, so he didn't care much about such a small amount of salt. However, Zheng Cheng, who was following Gongsun Ming, couldn't help it. exclaimed.
"It's impossible. Hey, what a fuss. This is just a trial production. The production in the future will be doubled than this."
When Gongsun Fandeng heard that someone questioned his results, he immediately became unhappy and scolded him without any courtesy.
"Sir, please calm down, I made a mistake."
Even though he had witnessed the existence of Yanshan with his own eyes, Zheng Cheng obviously still didn't believe it. He only thought that Gongsun Ming and Gongsun Fan were teaming up to deceive him. He apologized profusely, but his eyes were twinkling.
"Uncle, you might as well let the salt workers do some work, so that Patriarch Zheng can open his eyes."
Although Zheng Cheng's doubts were deeply hidden, he could not hide them from Gongsun Ming. In order to convince him, Gongsun Ming did not mind letting him experience the amazing features of the new salt-making method.
"Ha, that's easy to say. Come on, send twenty people into the salt fields, and we'll take another wave."
Although he didn't understand Gongsun Ming's purpose of bringing Zheng Cheng to the salt field, Gongsun Fan didn't bother to ask and gave the order with a smile. Soon he saw twenty salt workers wearing one-piece leather jackets and leather trousers. Holding a bamboo hoe in hand, he walked into the salt field and pulled it in rows. Soon, another small pile of salt was piled up on the shore. In just a moment, the small pile of salt suddenly had a density of nearly The amount of salt was half a stone, and the subsequent salt was still being piled up. The miraculous speed made Zheng Cheng feel dizzy.
"Clan Chief Zheng, have you seen everything clearly?"
Seeing that Zheng Cheng was so shocked, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but laugh.
"My lord is wise, and I, the Zheng clan, are willing to serve your lord as well as we can!"
Having witnessed with his own eyes how easy it was to produce salt in the salt field, Zheng Cheng no longer had any doubts. When he thought about Gongsun Ming's military skills, Zheng Cheng was convinced that Gongsun Ming's rise would be unstoppable. Thinking of this, Even if Zheng Chengdang had the intention of surrendering, he never hesitated at all and immediately knelt down on the ground...
