But Zhang Mingtu's rise was too fast and too rapid, and many Buddhist figures knew about it and openly proclaimed that Zhang Mingtu was the reincarnation of Buddha.
Under such circumstances, everyone in the Zhang family was quite nervous and they exchanged letters every year to ascertain Zhang Mingtu's thoughts.
Originally, the deepest bond between Zhang Mingtu of the Zhang family was the distillation method. Therefore, every year when the distillation method was improved, the Zhang family would send a group of people to deliver letters to communicate with Zhang Mingtu, the controller of Donglin City.
This is not only a way to proactively tell Zhang Mingtu the deepest secrets of the family, but also a way to bring them closer in a sense.
After all, after Zhang Mingtu became the controller of Donglin Temple, although he was busy with many things and rarely returned to his family, he would occasionally go there, and the public correspondence like this every year also made the Zhang family's reputation and influence rise.
Without too many twists and turns, the Zhang family's business naturally spread throughout the entire Jiangnan West Road, and even went further with the influence of Dongming Temple.
During this process, Zhang Mingtu did not do anything unnecessary and never hinted or explicitly stated the corresponding relationship, but many people in Donglin Temple would naturally try to curry favor with Zhang Mingtu.
The corresponding forces in the entire martial arts world will not easily touch the Zhang family of Jianyi.
Originally, Zhang Mingtu didn't care much about many things, but when he thought about the terrible disaster that would happen twenty years later, after thinking for a long time, he decided to give more help to his family.
"To face future disasters, we must unite all possible forces, and every bit of strength should be applied in the right direction."
After completing the search, Zhang Mingtu started writing.
The first letter was written to his parents. Even though he was familiar with many of his parents' situations, Zhang Mingtu still considered it carefully and showed concern for their daily life and physical condition.
Dear parents,
I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder if my parents are doing well?
My child is far away from home and I am very worried about him.
I have wanted to write a letter to tell my parents several times, but my work is urgent and I have too many things to do, so I dare not slack off in the slightest. However, my longing for my parents grows stronger day by day.

Today the moon is bright and high in the sky, but my emotions are unbearable. I wish I could grow wings so I can travel thousands of miles to be by your side.
The ancients said: Being a stranger in a foreign land, one misses his family all the more during every festive occasion. It is true.
Time flies, and the child has been away from home for several months. Everything has been fine over the past few months, and the two elders have nothing to worry about.
My father suffered injuries to his waist and knees in his early years, and I learned a secret recipe from a colleague called tiger placenta ointment.
Apply it to the old wound every day, warm and nourish it every day, and it should be back to normal in three months.
…
As the autumn wind grows colder, I hope the two elders will stay vigilant and watch over me day and night, and not worry about me. (Note 1)
After careful consideration, Zhang Mingtu wrote the corresponding letter. He knew that his parents were quite fond of the restaurant. After all, it was their dream, at least his mother's dream.
Zhang Mingtu told his mother several dishes that he remembered, and told her the detailed cooking methods and quantities.
The manufacturing method of soy sauce was also specifically mentioned. Soy sauce is made from beans instead of meat as before.
As for his father Zhang Jishi, Zhang Mingtu carefully thought about the family inherited Bull Demon Fist, and then wrote the improved version of Bull Demon Bone Training Fist in the envelope as a gift to his father Zhang Jishi who likes to practice martial arts.
After finishing the letter, Zhang Mingtu did not stop, but quickly took out a few more envelopes.
He wrote letters to the stewards in Jianyi who were carefully selected by him to manage the many farmlands, instructing them that if the county magistrate wanted to promote the two crops, they should take the initiative to sow the seeds and take good care of them.
On the one hand, it uses these two methods to make the life of the proposer better, and on the other hand, it also indirectly shows Zhang Mingtu's strength so that these housekeeper-level figures will not have any bad intentions.
After all, Zhang Mingtu knew in advance about the good varieties promoted by the government. From this point of view, it can be seen that Zhang Mingtu has extraordinary influence in the government.
After such a warning, the smart butlers under his command will not have any bad thoughts.
Those steward-level figures selected by Zhang Mingtu were originally loyal and honest people, and would not have any bad thoughts.
But Zhang Mingtu knew very well that human hearts could not stand the test. As a person in charge, he was away from home all year round, so the people under him would naturally develop some different thoughts.
No matter how loyal and honest they were originally, they would eventually develop some different thoughts under the instigation of their wives' families or the people below them.
Appropriate beating is a good thing for both parties. Zhang Mingtu demonstrated his strength and vision, and showed his control over the family, while the stewards below can do their work with peace of mind and live their own lives better.
After writing these two letters, Zhang Mingtu paused and wrote another letter to the current patriarch Zhang Jiye, who was in charge of the family.
The future prosperity of the Zhang family is largely due to this patriarch.
Zhang Mingtu also knew the secret recipe of the distilled liquor that had been improved many times. After thinking about it, he wrote down the improvement methods and ways of Jiannanchun in a letter, saying that it was just his recent discovery.
As for the subsequent improved formula for the spiritual wine brewed with related spiritual medicines, Zhang Mingtu thought about it and did not write it in. With the current strength of the Zhang family, they could not afford such a formula.
Zhang Mingtu simply wrote a few more recipes for elixirs suitable for marrow cleansing and blood transfusion as well as Qi cultivation, in order to further strengthen the Zhang family's foundation and also as a reward to the family.
