Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Shen Cheng's slightly provocative words did not make Wen Xian panic. After all, if you agree to such a big thing, there will be a real problem.

Therefore, Wen Xian just said leisurely: "If Mr. Shen had such thoughts, he wouldn't wait until now, right?"

Judging from Shen Chengcai's attitude, it was obvious that she was the newly independent empress.

But he refused to say anything, and even chatted and laughed with Zhu Qing, not shying away from the topic of the empress at all.

It can be seen that Shen Cheng has nothing against this matter, let alone deliberately making things difficult for Wen Xian or Zhu Qing.

But whether he will support it or wait and see remains unclear.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, I don't have much ambition, but I'm not someone who will make promises or give in casually."

He paused and continued: "There is no basis for what you say. It is just your one-sided statement at the moment. No one can be sure whether it will be what you said."

If he takes sides now, who will he find to reason with if none of what they say comes true?

Therefore, even if Wen Xian is the empress again, no matter how powerful her backstage is. He couldn't make a decision based on one-sided words. He had to wait until he saw something.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shen." Zhu Qing said, "We will first build a seafood processing factory in Guanhai Town. After this is built, we will collect the fish from all the surrounding fishermen and recruit workers to work in the factory.

These processed seafood will be transported to various places for sale, mainly in the southwest and north. "

The southwest is inland and there are few seafood for sale. Therefore, this line can definitely make money.

"Guanhai Town?" Shen Cheng knocked on the table and said, "Guanhai Town is too far away, why not open it in Guandong County. If this thing can be done within half a year, then I, Shen, will risk my life and fortune. So what if I accompany His Majesty on this journey."

He believed that with Zhu Qing's business acumen, doing business would be no problem.

But it is not so easy to do it because it involves the government, imperial power, and the common people.

He, who is in the officialdom, knows this best.

"Half a year?" Wen Xian shook her head and said, "Half a year is too long. I now have a batch of prepared seafood. Master Shen might as well take a look first."

She clapped her hands and asked Zhu San to take out the dried fish, dried scallops, dried oysters, etc. that had been prepared in advance.

These are processed dried seafood that can be stored for a long time. The longest one can be stored for a year, so you can eat it whenever you want.

"One year?" Shen Cheng said in surprise, "Wouldn't it mean that it loses its original taste in one year?"

Who knows, it will completely change the taste, how can this business start up?

"The taste will naturally be much worse than that of fresh seafood. There is no doubt about this, but it won't be bad." Wen Xian served two cups of abalone and millet porridge and motioned to Shen Cheng to try it, "This is made from this kind of dried seafood. , Master Shen, how do you like it?"

She went on to add: "It's made from dried seafood that was made three months ago."

Wen Zhan only took half of the ones that were processed at Life Island in the winter, and the rest were all here with Wen Xian.

She wants to use these to make her name known before the new seafood processing plant is built.

In this way, after the new factory is established, it can enter the direct sales mode without having to promote it again.

Shen Cheng was doubtful, but when he saw that Wen Xian had already eaten, he also immersed himself in taking a few bites.

Once I ate, I didn’t stop.

Moreover, after eating, he looked at the other dishes on the table with unsatisfied taste. He was just thinking about things and drinking. He didn't even take a few bites of the dishes on the table, and he had no intention of tasting them carefully.

Now that he tasted the porridge, he couldn't help it.

Wen Xian knew this would be the case, she grinned and said: "It's still early, we might as well talk while eating."

Zhu Qing also had the foresight to help prepare food for Shen Cheng, so Shen Cheng must be happy eating here.

These dishes are all made by Fang Jia and Wen Xian, both of whom are excellent cooks. Needless to say, the taste of the cooked dishes is undeniable.

Take abalone porridge as an example, even if the abalone is a dry seafood product. But with Wen Xian's good craftsmanship, the taste will not be much worse than the fresh one.

But Shen Cheng didn't know the meaning behind this. He only knew that these meals were very suitable to his taste.

What's more, some of them were things he had never eaten before. There are also some foods that are incomparably delicious to any food he has eaten before.

This also caused Shen Cheng to feel overwhelmed, and even his previous arrogance dropped.

Wen Xian gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said casually: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell Mr. Shen. If Mr. Shen agrees to cooperate and is willing to submit, then Mr. Shen's soldier will be me. soldiers. All their expenses also come from the treasury."

No matter who is the emperor, there is no theory that the officials below him raise troops from their own pockets, unless they are private soldiers.

Therefore, if Shen Cheng surrenders to her immediately, then she will naturally be responsible for the expenses of the government and the army, including the Wu family army outside the city.

Of course, if she is in charge, they must also listen to her arrangements.

"Treasury?" Shen Cheng's lips twitched slightly, "Does His Majesty's treasury really have money now?"

He had just declared himself king, and he didn't even have a court, so where would he find a treasury?

Even if you are really rich, I'm afraid it's only the money of the Jin Kingdom.

Wen Xian didn't feel embarrassed, she just raised her chin and said: "Where does the money come from, Master Shen, don't worry. If nothing else, there is such a big Jin country behind me, how can I still starve people?"

She really didn't plan to spend Wen Zhan's money on raising troops, but everything was difficult at the beginning. She was just recruiting troops now, and she had to make Shen Cheng feel at ease.

It is said that Shen Cheng has a good relationship with the prefects of several surrounding prefectures. She not only reassured Shen Cheng, but also reassured other governments.

However, Shen Cheng didn't reveal much. Instead, he stood up, bowed to Wen Xian, cupped his hands and said, "Then, Mr. Shen will be waiting for Your Majesty. A month later, Mr. Shen will come to visit you again."

Wen Xian doesn't want to wait half a year and come up with ready-made goods for sale, so it just depends on how well they sell in the next month.

After he finished speaking, he staggered slightly and walked out.

His heart was confused. When he heard that he could support the army and the government, he almost couldn't resist the temptation.

You must know that raising the army by himself in the past two years has emptied his family's wealth, including his wife's natal family.

If this continues, sooner or later he won't be able to retain anyone. No matter how sincere those people are to their son-in-law, they can't compare to the reality.

There will always be frictions and other ideas among everyone if there are seniors at the top and young at the bottom, and the economy is not well-off.

If things go on like this, people's hearts will disperse and traitors will appear.

No, a few days ago, the military camp was obviously lax, so people were allowed to sneak in.
