I was a gentleman in ancient times

Wei Su didn't notice Tao Jin's abnormality, although he was a little puzzled by his leaving without saying goodbye.After asking Xie Zhuo, Xie Zhuo hesitated for a while, but didn't say why, so he simply stopped asking, thinking about asking Tao Jin later.

Now that the tea tree seeds are back, Wei Su naturally wants to settle the matter of those aristocrats.He sent posts from door to door, and made appointments to get together. As for what happened, everyone knew it well.After waiting for so long, the result finally came. Now that I received the news, I naturally went happily.

In the official yamen, the petty officials were trembling, and almost everyone from the aristocratic family came.When had they seen such a sight?These people are afraid that just one look will make them overwhelmed and walk around, so how can they not be served carefully?

Since Zhao Zhong returned to the government office, he felt that the face of the government office has taken on a new look. As expected, Brother Min was right. They, Lord Wei, are really different.Look at the aristocratic families who came to the government office today, all of them have long since lost their wanton behavior in the past. Even if there are any incompetences among these petty officials, it is commendable that they don't care about them.

Wei Su is also generous, all of them use good tea to entertain guests, people can't help but sigh, Wei Su actually takes out the valuable tea here to entertain guests, usually they can't buy it even if they want to buy it?It's simply that people are more popular than people.At the same time, people look forward to Wei Su's upcoming discussion about planting tea trees.

After everyone arrived, and after waiting for quite a while, Wei Su finally arrived late.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Su was stunned for a moment. He asked Xie Zhuo behind him, "Is it Sishi written on my post? Did I make a mistake?"

He deliberately advanced the time, so he came late anyway. It seems that these people have been waiting for a long time.

"Don't worry sir, you are not mistaken, what you said is Sishi, and now it is the end of Chenshi." Xie Zhuo said with certainty.

"That's good." Knowing that he was not mistaken, Wei Su felt relieved.

Wei Su had a smile on his face, but his mouth was full of apologies, "Oh! Wei Su came late here, I'm really sorry, sorry. Look, all the ministers and ministers have come here long ago, and no one gave me a word. It's too unruly for a subordinate to deliver a message."

Wei Su's generous admission made people feel much more at ease, and the irritability of waiting for a long time at the beginning was also swept away.

When Wei Su said this, they felt rather embarrassed, "It's because we were impatient and couldn't wait to come early, so we can't completely blame Master Wei." Someone said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, Wei Su's modesty made them somewhat change the bad impression they had when they first met.It was Master Yuan and the others who were so aggressive back then that made Wei Su fight back and vomit blood from anger, right?They just said, Wei Su is also a scholar after all, so why would he be vulgar and vulgar to argue with others?This humble and polite Wei Su should be a respected gentleman who came out of Yingyang Academy.

Wei Su didn't expect that his impression in these people's hearts had changed a lot.But even if he knew, he would laugh it off, right?man!How can there not be several faces?Besides, if you want something from others, you should be courteous.As an aristocratic family, they are used to favoring the high and depressing the low, so it is not surprising that they treat Wei Su like this.

After the scene talk, everyone took their seats.Before Wei Su could make an opening statement, some anxious people asked, "Master Wei, do you really want to plant tea trees in your outskirts of no man's land?" This matter was so important that they had to confirm the news again and again.

Wei Su nodded directly. Since he told Song Qing at the beginning, he didn't intend to keep it a secret, "That's right, those mountainous areas are all planning to plant tea trees. A few days ago, the Xie family's convoy has delivered more than a dozen carts of tea tree seeds from Sichuan. Come here, it is estimated that there will be tea tree seeds from Lingnan in the future."

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect Wei Su's action to be so fast. They got the news about planting tea trees. The other party had already shipped all the tea tree seeds.

"The person next to me is Xie Jiazi. Regarding the tea tree seeds, you can ask him anything you don't understand. He can answer your questions." Wei Su pointed to Xie Zhuo who was beside him, and said with a smile.

He pushed Xie Zhuo out, so why wasn't he promoting him?After all, like today, it is rare to see the gathering of nobles from various families.Only when Xie Zhuo can cope with it freely can he train himself better.

Xie Zhuo naturally understood Wei Su's painstaking efforts, he took a step forward, and faced so many people from aristocratic families, he was also generous and composed.

He bowed his hands to the crowd and said: "Xie Zhuo, boy, we will go nine in Xie's house, if you have any questions, just ask, I will definitely do my best."

It turned out that this was Xie Jiazi. It seems that the Xie family should have left the whole matter of the tea tree to him.That's why Wei Su asked him to participate, after all, the Xie family controls the whole world's tea business.

Someone couldn't wait to ask the most concerned question, "As we all know, tea trees have always grown in southern Sichuan and Lingnan. Can we really grow tea trees in this place?"

Xie Zhuo nodded and smiled, "Why not? We specially invited tea farmers from Sichuan and Lingnan. They have grown and picked tea for decades, and they have enough experience in growing tea trees." Xie Zhuo exaggerated as much as possible, "They have also studied it. The climate and soil conditions here are not much different from those in Sichuan. There is no problem in planting tea trees. Besides, they have mastered the secret method of planting tea trees. I can guarantee that if the planting does not work, Wei Wei My Xie family will bear the manpower and material resources spent on opening up the wasteland."

Xie Zhuo's swearing appearance made most people believe it.

Someone asked curiously, "I don't know what the secret method is?"

Xie Zhuo smiled meaningfully, but did not answer.Everyone can also understand that since it is said to be a secret method, of course it is a secret that cannot be told, so how can it be said so easily?The person who asked this question knew that he was wrong, so he gave a sly smile and didn't ask any more questions.

Another person stood up, "The Xie family has a tea producing area in Lingnan, Sichuan, why would they spend money to plant tea trees here?"

There are ready-made tea leaves over there, so why bother?There are not a few people who spend a lot of money to open up barren mountains here, and it takes several years for tea trees to grow. During this period, wouldn't the money be lost in vain?

Xie Zhuo smiled slightly, "My lords should all know that the geography and transportation in south of the Five Ridges in Sichuan is inconvenient. It would take a lot of manpower and financial resources to transport the tea out. Since it can also be grown here, even if it costs some financial resources in the early stage, it will not be easy. It can be done once and for all, and it can save a lot of trouble in transportation. After a few years, it actually saves time and energy compared to Lingnan transportation in Sichuan. It is for the future that our Xie family will cooperate with Master Wei. Master Wei will plant tea trees on the wasteland. In the future, our Xie family will recycle tea at a high price to make and sell it, which is a win-win situation, so why not do it.”

Xie Zhuo's words made sense. Hearing that the Xie family would pay a high price for the tea planted, everyone couldn't help being moved.I also began to think in my heart, how much higher is the profit of this tea than that of grain? If I can grow tea trees on my own land, wouldn't it be worth a thousand dollars in the future?

Wei Su could see everyone's expressions, and was very satisfied with Xie Zhuo's performance, as long as these people changed their minds.

Xie Zhuo glanced at Wei Su, and continued: "Now our tea tree seeds have been delivered, and we can plant them when the season arrives. Of course, this is inseparable from Master Wei's full support."

Wei Su pretended to be polite, "Where, where, I did this only for those people who lost their land and couldn't survive. Of course, planting tea trees can make money, that's a surprise."

The two sang the double reed in front of everyone, which made people feel itchy.

"Master Wei, are you willing to trade the tea plantation in the mountains under your jurisdiction?" Someone asked directly, impatiently.

Although there are rumors that Wei Su has planned all these mountains and handed them over to Lou Guojun.That is to say, the mountain lands where these tea trees are planted are exclusive to Lou Guojun, unless their king can issue a royal order to reward them.Otherwise, it would be impossible for these aristocratic families to obtain it by force. Who would dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?Don't die?

Wei Su frowned, and said in a very embarrassed way: "To tell you the truth, the lower officials only have the right to manage these mountain lands. As for the issue of buying and selling the mountain lands, the lower officials really can't decide. If you really want it, you might as well go Find the king to see what he means?"

These words have already explained the problem, no wonder Zhai Shaoqing couldn't talk about it when he was soft and stubborn, so he could only settle for the next best thing.In fact, as long as there are tea tree seeds, their fields can still be planted, so why compete with the king for this mountain land?

"Then we don't ask for anything else, the seeds of the tea tree, and we send people here to learn the skills of growing tea. It should be no problem, right?" Naturally, they couldn't give up.It is also very good to get tea tree seeds and tea planting techniques like Zhai Shaoqing. As long as you can plant tea trees worth thousands of dollars on your own land, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than growing grain?

"This..." Wei Su hesitated, as if unwilling.

"Master Wei, we Ming people don't talk dark words. You can sell tea tree seeds and tea planting skills to Zhai Shaoqing, why can't you sell them to us? If it's a price concern, everything is easy to negotiate."

"Exactly, Mr. Wei, you can't treat one more favorably than another. Why can Zhai Shaoqing buy it with gold, but we can't? Is it because we are afraid that we won't be able to pay gold?"

Wei Su pretended to be surprised, "How did you know that I sold the seeds to Zhai Shaoqing?"

"It's spread all over the outside world, Mr. Wei, you can't deny it?" When it comes to their own interests, they can't control much, so they naturally said everything they could say.

Wei Su took a sip of tea, and his gaze fell on Zhai Shaoqing, who was sitting inconspicuously in the corner, with a half-smile.

Today Zhai Shaoqing purposely sat in the corner, in order not to let Wei Su notice him.Unexpectedly, these people spoke out directly. They all said so, and it was difficult for Wei Su to find him.

There is no way around this. Although he had agreed with Wei Su not to leak the news, he still hasn't found out where the news came from.This made him lose face in front of Wei Su.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Zhai Heng stood up bravely, "Master Wei, this has nothing to do with the old man. I really didn't mention a word."

Wei Su was a little bit heartbroken, and complained all over his face. I believed you so much at the beginning, and I said that it was not allowed to spread, but what happened?Rao Zhai Shaoqing had a thick skin, seeing Wei Su's appearance, he also felt guilty.

"Master Wei, things are already like this, and there is no other way, why don't we share some of the benefits so that everyone can get along?"

Wei Su shook his head and sighed, "That being said, how can there be enough tea tree seeds for so many people? Wei Su is really powerless."

Everyone was silent, and their minds began to come alive. No matter what others were like, I had to get some at any cost.

Xie Zhuo thought for a while, then pondered: "I didn't know it would be like this at the beginning, but the tea tree seeds are actually not worry-free, it's just that they won't be able to bring too many over for a while..."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, that's right, there are not so many now, but it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future.As long as the Xie family keeps sending them over, do you still worry about not having seeds?

"Also, the delivery is time-consuming and labor-intensive..."

Before Xie Zhuo finished speaking, someone had already stood up and said: "Xie Jiulang don't have to worry about this, as long as the Xie family can help us send the seeds, I will ask for it at any cost."

"Yes, yes, as long as Xie Langjun opens his mouth to respond, the old man can immediately ask someone to offer money for the journey of the convoy."

Everyone echoed, since the Xie family can transport it for the first time, they can transport it for the second time, and they should occupy it first before saying anything.

Xie Zhuo seemed a little undecided, looked at Wei Su, Wei Su laughed, "This is also a way, if the Xie family is willing, it's all right. But, ugly words first, pay the deposit first. Otherwise, in case of luck Don’t come here, no one can afford such a loss.”

After Wei Su spoke, everyone had nothing to do, and already ordered people to prepare in a hurry.

Now that the agreement has been made, no one can appreciate Wei Su's mountainous area.Taking advantage of this gap, they can also send someone to learn how to grow tea trees first. Of course, if they want to learn the skills of growing tea, they will have to spend a lot of money.

hey-hey!In short, everything is easy to say if you have money. The so-called money is not omnipotent, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money.Wei Su took this sentence to the extreme. Anyway, these people are not the ones who are short of money.Wei Su arranged everything clearly, and no one could tell if it was wrong.

"Tea trees can be planted, but the field should be mainly used for growing grain!" Wei Su took advantage of the gap to remind.But how can this group of people still listen to this?Blinded by their interests, they will only feel that these words are unnecessary.

Wei Su sighed, not knowing what he was feeling.

Today's talks went smoothly and everyone returned satisfied.Wei Su is naturally satisfied, these people have a lot of family background, compared to the future benefits, of course the little deposit they paid is nothing.

And Wei Su, using tea tree seeds not only wins over the aristocratic family, but also gets a large sum of money.In this way, it will be more beneficial for them to implement the plan in Lou State.

Xie Zhuo didn't expect that Mr. just held a party, talked about it, and got nothing, so that these aristocratic nobles who only come in and out on weekdays will generously donate.

What happened today also taught him a lot, looking at the deposit slip in his hand, Xie Zhuo couldn't believe it.With so much gold, it would be enough for him to transport it dozens or hundreds of times.

Mister is worthy of being a Mister, I have too much to learn from him.
