Although I don’t understand what it means to grab fat, Pan Ziling grabbed a piece of fat as he said, and Liu An said again: “Put down the meat.”

Pan Ziling was confused.

Liu An pointed at Pan Ziling's hand: "The flesh belongs to someone else, but letting you pass a hand, what's on your hand?"

Oil!

Pan Ziling looked at his hands, and the fat meat was placed in the ice box, and he also stuck oil in his hands.

Liu An then said, "Put the seal money for the palace, and then bring the eight martial arts families. They are responsible for collecting the accounts. Who dares to owe this money? What's more, I don't plan to put the seal money to ordinary people. I'm going to put a ten-fold profit in this business. I want to deduct 30% of the net profit for this business, and invest one million guan, and the net profit of 30% will not be less than one million guan."

Pan Ziling's eyes lit up: "Then, how much can we divide into our family?"

"I said yes, 50,000 guan is probably fine. I did a good job, and I had 100,000 guan. Who cares about the small amount of money that costs thousands of guan a year?"

“How to do it?”

"No hurry, go and present a gift tomorrow. I will meet the official family when I enter the palace."

“Yeah, Yeah.”

Pan Ziling nodded violently.

How good is money? The richer the more you are, the shortage of money is.

Of course, the exception of people like Kou Zhun is that he can't spend much in a year, and a salary of more than 20,000 yuan will ensure that he enjoys a wealth of life. The only thing he is worried about is not to be dismissed from office.

Liu An said to Pan Ziling again: "There is another thing, don't be too tired tomorrow. I will teach you something when I come back tonight, and then wait for the mirror to make it. You invite Mr. Lu's wife, then invite your mother-in-law, and then invite someone with enough status."

“Yeah, Yeah.”

Liu An pulled Pan Ziling back to the house and taught him some things about entering the palace tomorrow before he rested.

The next day, Liu An was still on holiday, but it was the day when the emperor was listening to classes in Chongzheng Hall, and Liu An entered the palace.

There are waist cards, so you don’t need to go through the back door this time.

"Why is Liu Shaojian coming?" The emperor was about to enter Chongzheng Hall, but saw Liu An standing outside waiting.

Liu An quickly stepped forward to salute: "Officials, I am rude. I have just been distracted and I have not seen the official family come over."

The emperor would not be unhappy about such a thing, but instead asked: "I'm not still on holiday today, why are you thinking about coming here?"

"One of the time I want to listen to the learning, and two, my servants heard some rumors in the market. I want to ask the officials to help me solve my doubts."

The emperor waved his hand with a smile and let Liu An enter.

Lu Mengzheng also arrived at this time. Liu An greeted him and asked Lu Mengzheng to enter the hall first.

After sitting down, the emperor said to Lu Mengzheng: "Lu Gong, Liu Shaojian said that when he heard some rumors in the market, it is better to let him talk about it first. Perhaps it is interesting and hard to say."

"Yes, the official." Lu Mengzheng taught and liked to use the world's affairs to discuss with the emperor.

Liu An knew that it was Lu Mengzheng today, so he came quickly.

He would not bow at any time when he gave lectures. Liu An sat upright: "The official family, Lu Xianggong. Among the servants of the family, there were people who had worked as partners in a shop in Hangzhou. That Tianchen arranged for him to buy some items. He heard two conversations in foreign languages. He listened carefully and came back to report to him."

"These two foreign people are looking forward to the King of the West. The content of their conversation is probably that they can change from three Buddhas and one piece of Song cloth to one stone of pepper, come to pay tribute, and can exchange 800 guan and one stone for return gifts."

The emperor's face changed instantly: "Do you say it again?"

Liu An stood up: "I think that a piece of pepper with a cloth and a stone of pepper is more than a hundred times more profitable than a piece of pepper in Bianliang. The envoys of this small country are not right."

The emperor slapped the imperial desk heavily and he was furious.

Lu Mengzheng said at this time: "Pepper has been cheaper in recent years. It is recorded in historical books that the Tang Prime Minister Yuan Zai was corrupt and 800 stones of pepper were collected when he was confiscated. At that time, it was worth hundreds of thousands of qians."

Liu An stepped forward: "The officials, I think there are many ships doing business overseas in the Song Dynasty, and I can choose a good general to take a fleet to Sanfoqi. I have checked that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Sanfoqi has come to pay tribute three times, but there is no pepper. I guess that the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom must think that pepper is a cheap thing."

Lu Meng Zhengxiang Living Dictionary, he knew about the three tributes he paid.

He said now: "I remember that among the tributes of the Three Buddhas, there are ivory, frankincense, rose water, long live dates, and white sugar. This white sugar was produced by combining the craftsmanship passed down from the Tang Dynasty and the Tianzhu craft."

Liu An advised again: "The official family is true or false, and prove it with his own eyes."

The emperor nodded slightly: "It's right, it's really reliable to prove with your own eyes. What do you think Mr. Lu thinks?"

Lu Mengzheng thought for a long time, but the emperor did not urge him. After a quarter of an hour, Lu Mengzheng said: "Officials, I am the Great Song Dynasty and I am the supreme country of the Celestial Empire. It is not impossible to send envoys to you, but if the envoys do business, they will be afraid that it will damage my Song Dynasty's prestige."

Liu An quickly followed up: "I think that the envoy is the envoy, so I sent a fleet to follow the back. The envoy and the merchant group do their own things. I believe that the Sanfoqi is willing to trade some of my Song Dynasty. My Tang Dynasty tea, porcelain, and silk. I believe that the merchants of the Sanfoqi must be willing to trade."

Lu Mengzheng turned around: "Liu Shaojian, the sea is not as dangerous as on the road, and there are many risks."

Liu An said to Lu Mengzheng: "Grandpa Lu, I am not short of people who dare to die in the Song Dynasty. My subordinates are willing to search the classics. I believe that the Three Buddhas all came to the Song Dynasty and must have told the waterway."

The emperor glanced at Lu Mengzheng.

Lu Mengzheng nodded slightly. This matter was feasible, just send someone to take a look.

What Lu Meng was concerned about was not money, but that the Song Dynasty was fooled, and he was fighting for this tone. The same is true for the emperor. Some people dared to fool themselves, but they couldn't bear it.

"Then, you can try it." The emperor spoke.

Lu Mengzheng said: "The official family, what level should they need for the first time?

The emperor turned to look at Liu An: "What are the suggestions for Liu Shaojian?"

"Official family, my father-in-law is willing to serve the Song Dynasty and die. My father-in-law is a royal relative and a military general. As a royal relative, he is a king of the Three Buddhas and Qi. He is a military general. He can lead the fleet at sea, strictly abide by the rules, and greatly reduce the risk of traveling far away. At least the caravan, I think that there will be merchants willing to go."

The emperor nodded. Going to sea is a life-and-death matter.

The caravans of the Song Dynasty were just going to Goguryeo and Japan. They had never really gone south.

If it were something else, Lu Mengzheng would have suspected that Liu An would seek benefits for his family, but this matter was extremely dangerous, so Lu Mengzheng could only say one thing, the Pan family is Gaoyi.

The emperor asked again: "So, how many goods are you carrying secretly?"

"The official family, 300,000 guan, I think it's appropriate. I believe that it can be exchanged for the Song Dynasty for a million guan. Of course, the premise is that there is nothing wrong with the ship at sea."

Liu An emphasized another sentence of danger.
