Song Zhang quickly ran up to stop him and said humbly: "Shouzheng, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it, everything can be discussed."

"I said, will you listen?"

"Naturally, your opinion is the main one."

Song Zhen sneered and returned to his seat.

The request of the Fenzhou Song family just now was tantamount to a lion's mouth. They actually asked him to arrange 100 clansmen to serve as officials in the court every year.

They even wanted to take another 10% from the income of Huichunfang and Pingkangfang.

What does this mean?

Do you think he is a rich man?

My joining your family is a blessing for your Fenzhou Song family, not what you deserve.

Song Zhen shook his head: "I don't see your sincerity."

"......" Song Zhang wanted to cry but had no tears. Brother, what sincerity do you want?

"I have always adhered to a philosophy of life. I will give you as much as you give me. It is just like giving back a favor."

Song Zhen glanced around coldly: "You Fenzhou Song family are so good. I have been wandering outside since I was a child and have never enjoyed any family favors."

"I started looking for your Fenzhou Song family to cooperate, just to be legitimate and obtain the status of aristocratic family. Now, I have been appointed as a nine-minister. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether I want this status or not."

When the clansmen of Fenzhou Song heard this, their hearts were in their throats.

What's going on? Could it be that the cooked duck is going to fly away?

No!

Song Zhen's prominent status has brought many invisible benefits to the children of Fenzhou Song family.

When they go out, they only need to tell others that they are a member of Song Shouzheng's clan, and others will look up to them and even give them convenience.

They are enjoying this honor for the first time, how can they give it up easily?

However, from the perspective of the elders, he naturally wanted to gain more benefits for the family, which is understandable.

It's just that the conditions he proposed were too outrageous, and any normal person would not accept them.

Song Zhen shook his head and sighed, "Song Zhang, you are too greedy. Do you have no IQ or do you think I have no IQ? Do you think I will agree to your conditions?"

Song Zhang's old face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute.

"Since I have used the Fenzhou Song family to consolidate my status in the early stage, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

From Song Zhen's words, it can be heard that the relationship between him and the Fenzhou Song family is just a transaction of mutual use.

Some people feel uncomfortable after hearing this, but this is the fact, and Song Zhen doesn't need to hide it.

"First, I will invest 30,000 strings of cash to build Fenzhou into the most prosperous commercial metropolis in the Bingzhou Governor's Office."

When everyone heard this, they took a breath.

Three... 30,000 strings of cash? Did I hear it right?

You know, the total tax revenue of the entire Fenzhou in the first two years was less than 30,000 guan.

You tell me, you need to invest 30,000 guan to replan a city?

Fenzhou is close to the Fen River and can connect to the Yellow River. It is a must-go place for trade from Hebei, Shanxi, Henan to Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Mongolia. It is known as the Qin-Jin dry dock.

Since Fenzhou has such an excellent geographical advantage, why did it develop so poorly in the early Tang Dynasty? In the final analysis, it is still the management that is not strong enough, neglecting the main point and focusing on the minor.

"When the time comes, I will find a way to arrange for someone in my clan to be the governor of Fenzhou, responsible for rebuilding Fenzhou according to my requirements."

Fenzhou barely reached the level of Zhongzhou in the Tang Dynasty. The governor of Zhongzhou is at least a fourth-rank official.

Hearing this, everyone's breathing became rapid.

"Second, I will spend money to bring Ganlutang, the wine brewing company in Fenzhou, into the Song family, and strive for the official wine brewing qualification for you, and finally promote it through Huichunfang and Pingkangfang."

In the Tang Dynasty, you can't brew wine whenever you want, you must obtain a qualification certificate issued by the Liangyun Office.

And the Liangyun Office is one of the four offices of the Guanglu Temple.

There were nine temples in the Tang Dynasty, namely Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Dali Temple, Weiwei Temple, Honglu Temple, Shaofu Temple, and Da Si Nong.

Among them, the nine temples are headed by Taichang Temple.

As the Minister of Taichang Temple, Song Zhen naturally has a certain voice in the nine temples. It should not be difficult for Fenzhou Song to obtain the approval of Guanglu Temple Liangyun Office for brewing.

If you have power, you should use it, and you should not treat it as a treasure and refuse to show it to others.

Building the Fenjiu brand is one of Song Zhen's business plans.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Fenjiu was highly praised by Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi as the imperial wine and was recorded in the Twenty-Four Histories.

On the contrary, it was silent in the Tang Dynasty, for some reason.

"Third, about what you said, arranging 100 clansmen to serve as officials in the court every year. Ha." Song Zhen slammed the table hard, shocking the people below.

"I don't know what you said.What are you thinking about? Some time ago, Lai Ji was beheaded or demoted for colluding with Li Yifu to sell official titles. "

"Besides, I am only the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, not the Minister of Personnel. Do you think I have the ability to do this?"

"One person's success brings success to all the family members? Are you planning to arrange all the wild dogs in the village to be police dogs in the court and eat a share of the emperor's food?"

Song Zhang's old face turned red, and he laughed dryly: "Are you kidding, Shouzheng?"

Song Zhen smiled with a fake smile: "Do you think I am kidding you?"

He glanced at the twenty clansmen under his eyes and said coldly: "You have disappointed me so much."

Official positions are obtained by fighting for them, not by licking them.

After a while, Song Zhen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "It is absolutely impossible to arrange them, but if there are outstanding talents, it would not hurt to recommend them. ”

After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. This is what you said.

“Oh, you are too happy too early. I will set the standard for excellence!”

“…”

The reason why Song Zhen built the Fenzhou Song family into a merchant family was for the sake of his descendants.

If he died, even if his children were not capable, at least they would have a lot of wealth and no worries about food and clothing.

And this merchant family was not a merchant family in the traditional sense, but was officially authorized.

The brewing industry has been a profitable industry since ancient times.

In this era, there was no distilled liquor. Although Song Zhen did not know how to make distilled liquor, he knew the basics.

It is the most difficult to start from scratch. A leap forward. Now that the principle is known, it should be possible to spend time to study it roughly.

Song Zhen told all his conditions, and the people of Fenzhou Song were full of expectations for the future.

They are too poor now. No one in the court means no land. No land means no extra income. No income means no money.

Song Zhen's business plan perfectly solved their troubles.

As long as there is money, everything will be easy. They are not short of cultural heritage.

So, Song Zhang licked his old face and asked: "Shouzheng, when will it be implemented?"

Song Zhen laughed: "All the conditions I just mentioned must be based on a foundation."

"What foundation?"

"I must become the head of the Fenzhou Song family and have the supreme right to speak."

"?"
