Then, Fang Zhengyi introduced some business common sense and methods to the two, such as hunger marketing and brand effect. Although Emperor Jing and the other two were a little confused, the banquet was a great success.
Zhang Laoliu came closer with smiling eyes.
"Master County, have you finished your meal?"
Fang Zhengyi picked his teeth with a chicken bone in his mouth and nodded slightly: "Hmm! Not bad, it looks like it's real? How much, check!"
"The total is five hundred and six taels. I'll give you five hundred taels less." Zhang Laoliu nodded and bowed.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard the price.
Five hundred taels! Where do you eat silver?
Fang Zheng laughed angrily, "Okay! Zhang Laoliu, you can kill people like me. There is a future for making money."
Zhang Laoliu knelt down in a cold sweat, "County Magistrate, please listen to my explanation! A few kids came downstairs and didn't know the rules and ran outside to make a noise!"
"We're having a free meal today."
"There are dozens of people coming here. The tables are set up on the street and they are still being filled."
"I can't help it. I'm giving you a discount on this price. I've run out of ingredients in my shop, so I had to borrow some from next door!"
Fang Zheng was delighted when he heard this. The people in Taoyuan County were becoming more and more cunning.
"Five hundred taels is expensive for dozens of people."
Zhang Laoliu continued to wail: "Where! These unruly people are still drinking good wine! When they drink too much, they want to eat cold melons (watermelons). Let's go buy them a dozen!"
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up: "Have the winter melons been grown? How much did you buy them for?"
Zhang Laoliu said aggrievedly: "Ten taels each."
"Is it cooked?"
"Yes."
Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang were also confused. Five hundred taels for a meal was nothing, but where did the winter melon come from when spring just arrived? It wasn't summer yet.
Fang Zheng frowned one by one: "Ten taels! These bastards are selling it so expensively in their own county. Is the melon rind made of gold or the melon grains made of gold?"
Guo Tianyang was also convinced, it turns out you also know it is expensive!
"Yeah! That's what I said too! Someone from the Department of Agriculture told me!"
"You can buy it if you want! Where can we get melons now? These are all grown in greenhouses! We think they are too expensive and they think they are too expensive too. We sell them at cost price!"
"Alright, alright! Got it, Zhang Biao, give me the money!"
Zhang Biao stepped forward and prepared to pay the bill.
Zhang Biao? Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang took a deep breath, and their anus tightened at the same time.
He is Zhang Biao from the Sewing Man Py! ? He is indeed plain looking! I didn't even notice him from beginning to end.
“Boom!”
Zhang Biao flicked his sleeves lightly, and a bag of silver fell directly on the table.
"Diandian! Exactly five hundred taels."
Emperor Jing and the other man almost popped their eyes out.
"Five...five hundred taels of silver in your sleeves?" Emperor Jing stuttered.
Zhang Biao replied carelessly, "Yes! Our young master always brings one thousand taels of silver with him every time he goes out. We still have five hundred taels."
As he spoke, he raised his right sleeve, and something heavy fell out from it.
With this kind of arm strength, can he use weapons weighing hundreds of pounds?
Emperor Jing swallowed hard. If this man served in the army, he would definitely be a fierce general!
"Why don't you bring any banknotes?"
"It's all the same. Cash is more secure!"
“.......”
Is this the reason why you carry one thousand taels of silver with you?
Seeing the two of them looking surprised, Fang Zheng smiled and explained, "You two, this is my subordinate Zhang Biao, also known by his courtesy name Hai Huang."
"The only chief constable in this county, the most powerful warrior, and known as the Peach Blossom Star in the martial arts world!"
"Don't even mention a thousand taels of silver. People are just like sandbags! If you encounter a scoundrel, you can find him!"
Emperor Jing was convinced and bowed to him: "I admire you, I admire you, Zhang Haihuang is indeed a brave man!"
Zhang Biao puffed out his chest with pride.
Fang Zheng said, "Then... I won't see you off. If you want to go to the county government tomorrow, you can come directly to me."
.......
That night, Emperor Jing and his companion returned to the inn.
Emperor Jing was sitting at the table, with Guo Tianyang standing beside him. The candlelight on the table flickered, and Emperor Jing's expression seemed unfathomable.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Jing said, "Get the banknotes ready. Go to the government office tomorrow to sign a contract with him."
"I am becoming more and more curious about this county magistrate."
Guo Tianyang asked: "Your Majesty, are you still going to Hengjiang Mansion?"
"No, we have already gained a lot. If we delay here for too long, the Crown Prince will be in charge of the country, and the court officials must be anxious."
Emperor Jing then sighed, "I didn't expect that Fang Zheng, who is only in his early twenties, could manage a county like this."
"I get a headache just thinking about the prince! He is far inferior to me!"
Guo Tianyang said, "Your Majesty, Fang Zhengyi is a man who does things in an unconventional way, but as a county official, he actually does business himself. Is that inappropriate?"
"It takes an extraordinary person to do extraordinary things. His achievements today have already shamed officials all over the world."
"In just two or three days, my horizons have been broadened, but I still have many doubts... What is a greenhouse..."
"This Fang Zhengyi is really interesting!"
Guo Tianyang was dissatisfied and said, "Your Majesty, I think he is just good at some tricks! How can he dump manure on other people's houses?"
"And they deceived the nobles in the capital into buying ordinary tea!"
"He even flattered His Majesty in order to sell tea at the dinner table!"
Emperor Jing interrupted him, and said with a hint of anger on his face: "Enough! If tricks and tricks can make the people rich, then that's fine!"
"If you had 30% of his ability, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
"Remember to check Fang Zhengyi's information after you go back, and also why the inspectors over the years did not report the news to Taoyuan County!"
Guo Tianyang pouted. He was busy all over, but not only did he not get any good results, he was also stabbed with arrows all over his body.
So he said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Humph! A parrot imitating others!"
Guo Tianyang: “…”
