Liu Feng almost laughed out of anger at Zhang Baodong.
He remembered that Zhang Baodong had said that his fiancée and he were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were young.
Now look what's happened! It turns out you were just a glutton, always going to other people's restaurants to freeload. That's how you became childhood sweethearts.
However, on the other hand, Liu Feng had completely understood by this time.
The two major restaurants in Yanzhou have businesses spanning all sectors of Yanzhou. Their marriage can be considered a powerful alliance.
Essentially, both companies started as restaurants and should be business competitors.
The idea of marriage had been around for a long time, probably to resist the suppression by the Heaven and Earth Society.
If Liu Feng wasn't mistaken, Zhang Baodong's next task would be to discuss business with Liu Feng.
"Of course, this Mr. Liu."
"I wonder if you still have the refined salt I took with me last time?"
"I was wondering if we could get some for the Ye family as well."
"Of course, she doesn't ask for much. The Ye family's dishes are generally light in flavor and don't require much salt."
"Just a few bags from the Ye family will be enough."
As expected, just as Liu Feng had predicted, they started discussing business.
"No problem, I'll do it right away if it's not needed, it's not a big deal."
The salt field mining has already begun.
Soon, large quantities of table salt will be available on the market.
This is good news for Liu Feng.
With that young couple around, I don't need to think twice; they can take care of all the salt on my side.
I no longer need to think about finding sales channels everywhere.
This is about making money, why would Liu Feng disagree?
"We don't need to talk about this on the street."
"Let's go to the yamen to talk."
The young couple were stunned when they heard this.
Do we really have to go to the government office to discuss a business deal?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am Liu Feng, the great general of the Tiger Roar Army."
Liu Feng smiled helplessly.
Liu Feng had never mentioned these things to Zhang Baodong before. In Zhang Baodong's mind, Liu Feng was just a powerful business owner.
Now, this guy doesn't know his own identity, and this has caused such a misunderstanding.
The two of them gaped in astonishment.
He was actually a general, and the all-powerful Tiger Roar Army's general at that.
This Mr. Liu is truly mysterious; he has quite a few identities.
Liu Feng led several people to the county government office.
Many parts of the county government office are still under construction, but the study in the backyard has been completed and decorated in an antique style, giving it the feel of a wealthy and noble family.
Although there isn't much furniture right now, all the necessary equipment for entertaining guests is already in place.
"What is the current situation in Yanzhou?"
Although this was a business meeting, Liu Feng was more concerned about the situation in Yanzhou.
After all, the Heaven and Earth Society was his mortal enemy.
Although they rebelled, it didn't have much impact on trade routes on the surface. Even though they rebelled, they still needed supplies, which actually became an opportunity for merchants to make money.
However, Liu Feng also wanted to know the attitudes of the Zhang and Ye families towards the Heaven and Earth Society's rebellion.
After all, it's closely related to me, and the attitudes of these two companies might be useful to me in the future.
It wouldn't be bad to use them to set up a trap or something.
"The Heaven and Earth Society started its uprising a few days ago."
"Currently, it only occupies a portion of the county area."
"It will take some time to take over some of the major cities in Yanzhou."
"But it's only a matter of time; they will definitely take over a fortified city as their stronghold."
"These are all messages brought back by our servants who went to various places to purchase ingredients."
"Although the Heaven and Earth Society has taken action, the news has been largely blocked, so the outside world is unaware of it."
"In my opinion, it will take some time for this news to reach the capital and get to the right person."
Liu Feng nodded. So that's why. No wonder his subordinates hadn't sent back any messages. They were so secretive in their actions.
The Heaven and Earth Society is being cautious this time; it will probably take the Emperor some time to find out.
Even if they traveled at top speed, it would still take half a month for this news to reach the emperor's ears.
By then, the Heaven and Earth Society will likely have already occupied a fortified city as its base.
What's the situation with the Heaven and Earth Society in the city?
"Didn't they rebel and extort large sums of money from you big merchants to seize your goods?"
"The main source of power for the Heaven and Earth Society is the descendants of the original Wei state from villages and counties throughout Yanzhou."
"Although they also have a large organized force in the city, the government has now taken control of a portion of them."
"The rest of them can only collect food and supplies in secret, probably after the two of us leave."
"However, now that our Zhang family and the Ye family have completely united, such a large family alliance is something that even the Heaven and Earth Society has to be wary of."
Zhang Baodong answered.
Liu Feng nodded. He had already thought of this before. The alliance between the two families was for self-preservation.
"I see. When I heard you say you came here to seek refuge, I thought the Heaven and Earth Society had already occupied the entire Youzhou and amassed hundreds of thousands of troops."
Liu Feng deliberately smiled and said that he was just trying to get information out of her.
