An official wearing blue uniform came over and presented Lai Tongxin's post. General Lai Shen asked Zhang Han to come to the mansion when he had time in the evening.

"Mr. General Reunion will definitely visit you next night."

Then several big names in the fort and the owner of the big business sent someone to send a message. Zhang Han replied one by one, sorting out the dates and going to visit them separately.

Xinpingbao has been very energetic recently. Zhang Han can clearly see that there are more people and there are many new businesses. It is completely different from the feeling of depression at the end of last year. He knew that it should be the vitality brought by Yusheng, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

"The escort and the convoy returned to the mule and horse business. Everyone was in charge of the three cabinets, and everyone was drinking together in the evening."

Zhang Han turned to look at Liang Hong and said, "Why is the big cabinet not here?"

"I met Lizhuang and Ergui in Daliangshan. The snow disaster last winter was severe. I was afraid that I would reduce production again this year. I need too much food now. Although I bought a lot of it from all over the country, if I could buy more, it would be better than buying it, and I would also have a clear idea."

When Zhang Han was about to leave last year, Zhou Fengji proposed that he had a lot of money on hand now, and the years of the year have not been good. If he had the opportunity, he could buy more land. Zhang Han didn't care and asked Zhou Fengji to do it. Now he had a new idea and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liang Hong said with a smile: "It's nothing compared to the boss... Master, everyone's heart will be settled this time when you come back. If we hadn't received several letters one after another and had been away for so long, we would have been desperate."

Zhang Han said calmly: "I will take care of you for many years after leaving this time. I will not go out again in the short term."

Everyone arranged the placement according to Zhang Han's arrangement, and everyone felt a deep fatigue. Zhang Han himself was actually the same, but he had no way to rest. Under the escort of Jiang Kui and Jiang Yi and others, he and Chang Wei rode forward lightly on horseback and rushed to their homes.

I don’t know how many people bowed to him along the way, but Zhang Han immediately returned the gift one by one, and was very polite. Everyone felt that his face was shining when he could bow his hand and return the gift. I don’t know how many grinning faces he saw along the way.

Chang Wei dismounted in front of the door, without hesitation: "Brother Han, you have been away for so long, and the influence of Yousheng in Xinpingbao has become even greater."

He didn't speak loudly, but someone suddenly shouted inside: "It's Mr. West and the eldest master are back."

Chang Wei was startled, and then the door of Zhang Mansion opened and many people rushed up.

It was difficult for the family members to go out during the day. Zhang Han was surprised that there was no movement at home, but unexpectedly, everyone was waiting at the door.

Many people's eyes were wide open. Zhang Han saw many strange faces, some shopkeepers and friends-like characters, and most of them were young men and middle-aged servants. The maids also added some, and everyone stared at Zhang Han with wide eyes.

Chang was standing first, his eyes were red, and there was Chang Ning with an excited expression beside him. In midsummer, Chang Ning was wearing a light green dress. Zhang Han felt that all the light shone on her face, bright and beautiful, and almost made him dare not look directly.

He glanced at the maids again, and saw the willows that were as excited as they saw. The willows seemed to have lost a lot of weight and their faces became a little sharper, but they looked even more pretty and charming.

When he got down, he saw two uncles standing in the crowd. Zhang Han quickly dismounted and bowed, "Big uncle, second uncle."

Chang Jin's face was covered with messy beards. He wore a short jacket with thin summer cloth on a hot day and his sleeves were also very high. He stared at Zhang Han and said, "It's good to come back, that big bus..."

Chang Jinquan interrupted his elder brother and said to Zhang Han: "Brother Han, you have worked so hard. It's really not an easy task to travel thousands of miles."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I'll do it well."

In the letter he received from Liaodong, Chang's family had already mentioned that Chang Jinquan decided to focus on his career with Heyusheng, focusing on grain and grocery management, which Chang's family is also good at.

Chang Jinquan showed joy on his face. Chang Jinquan held Zhang Han's right hand and whispered to everyone: "Our Zhang Shaodong has made great contributions and is back!"

The people present cheered, and they all shared the honor and disgrace with the Zhang family. The more prosperous the Lord's family is, the more benefits they get.

The lobby of Zhang Mansion was already full of banquets. Chang Jinquan introduced Zhang Han to several big shopkeepers and some big friends in his store. There were many names, and Zhang Han didn't remember much.

Zhang Han only noticed that there was a shopkeeper named Tian Jitang, who was black and thin, and looked extremely smart. According to Chang Jinquan, this was an old account house with a bit famous in Shanxi Province.

Tian Jitang was very modest and said to Zhang Han: "The Longmen tent method created by Zhang Dongzhu is much clearer than the previous tent method. The boss is the real talent, and we are just an old tent flower."

Other shopkeepers of the Chang family were a little arrogant, and they looked at Zhang Han with a little contempt. After all, Zhang Han was too young and was Chang Jinquan's junior, so their attitude was not as humble as Tian Jitang.

It was not until the evening that Zhang Han finally said a few words to Chang.

Chang pulled Zhang Han and cried for a while. It was not her fault. Since Zhang Han grew up and became an adult, she has never traveled so far. It took more than half a year to walk. When she set off, it was hard for everyone to imagine that it would take so long.

Chang Ning just looked at Zhang Han a few times and had several times when he met Zhang Han's eyes. Chang Ning's fair face was covered with clouds.

Chang pulled Zhang Han and said secretly: "Your marriage with Ning'er will be done this fall, how about it?"

Zhang Han felt excited, but he secretly glanced at Yang Liu. Yang Liu was much more courageous than Chang Ning. He looked at Zhang Han with a hot look, and Zhang Han felt guilty.

"Mom, don't worry, I haven't had time to tell you some things..."

"You mean Yang Liu?"

Zhang Han was shocked and looked at Chang. Seeing that his mother's face was smiling and no strange looks were seen, she was relieved.

"Yang Liu beat you away and didn't think about tea or food. What else can I understand in my eyes? But she is still a virgin and her hair is not dissipated. It can be seen that you are still polite. Otherwise, you will not see her when you come back this time... Our Zhang family is now doing business, but at least it is a passing on poetry and books. If you don't abide by the rules, you will be punished!"

Only then did Zhang Han feel that his mother was not easy to meet. No wonder he could last for so long with Yusheng after the death of his great-grandfather... It turns out that he had a lot of tricks.

It wasn't when I told Yu Niang about it. Yu Niang was different from Yang Liu. At least she had to be a fair wife. Before her wife entered the door, she already had a concubine, and she had to have another fair wife. This was so lively.

I can only endure it for the time being, and I will not do anything...

Zhang Han secretly sweats his sweat. Fortunately, he is not old, so he can just delay it for a while, otherwise the fun will be great...

In the evening, Chang Jinqian, who was drunk, took the shopkeeper and the friends away. Chang Jinyou had already run away. It is said that his big water truck was very successful and had already built a place along the river in Daliangshan Villa. The cost was of course not small, and it was not cost-effective from an economic perspective. However, Zhang Han was extremely happy when he heard about this.

Of course, the geographical environment of Shanxi is incomparable to that of Jiangnan, and is also worse than that of Hebei and Shandong. Therefore, Shanxi only produced merchants and later produced mineral deposits. The main reason is that there are too many mountains and there are fewer arable land on the plains.

Even so, Shanxi's tax payment amount is very high. Zhang Han had conducted an investigation before, which shows that there is still great potential to tap.

The most important thing is that Zhang Han wants to maintain a high degree of food self-sufficiency.

Buying grain is quite convenient now, and Zhang Han was worried about the large-scale refugee tide from Shaanxi to Shanxi from the aftermath of the Tianqi period to the Chongzhen period.

"Uncle did a good job." Zhang Han praised happily.

When Chang Ning heard Zhang Han praise his father, his big eyes smiled into crescent moons.

Chang Wei was a little depressed. He was not the little brat who knew nothing last year. Chang Wei looked at Zhang Han with a lot of worries.

Chang Jinquan did it too much, even his own uncle could not be so strong.

"Chang Wei, don't think too much." The banquet ended, and everyone slowly dispersed. Zhang Han patted Chang Wei's shoulder and smiled and said, "You go to your uncle's place, don't say anything more. Anyway, he is his uncle, and at most he can get rid of his subordinates who instigated him."

Chang Wei responded in a muffled voice and turned around and left. Zhang Han looked at his back with thoughts in his eyes.

...

After dark, dozens of tables were set up in the mule and horse store, and Zhang Han took the time to see Lai Tongxin first.

"Master Zhang, your business has been great recently, and our scores have also increased. The people you stayed behind are very capable and will be very respectful to me." Lai Tongxin stroked his big belly and said proudly: "Since you are back, of course, it's better for us to cooperate like this."

Zhang Han bowed and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm talking crazy here, but it will only get better and better when I go on the way back. Moreover, on the way back, I think that if General Governor wants to move, he is willing to contribute money and effort."

"Oh?" The Lai Tongxin family is also a general, but the main force is on Xuanfu East Road, which has caused him to be promoted to Datong Town. The general has been working for a long time. If you want to be promoted to the deputy general, you have to try to go back to Xuanfu. There are too many monks and less porridge, and one carrot and one pit, so it is not so easy to get an official.

Lai Tongxin leaned over and looked at Zhang Han and said, "I know that Zhang Dongzhu is very good at hand and eyes. I don't know if there is any way to ask me to take another step?"

Zhang Han said calmly: "The most important thing for border generals is of course military merits, but the Northern Barbarians have not violated the border for a long time, so you have a rare military merit. Suppressing bandits and bandits, these military merits are nothing."

Lai Tongxin looked calm, but he was a little angry. Of course he understood what Zhang Han said, all of it was nonsense.

Fortunately, Lai Tongxin knew that although Zhang Han was young, he had always been calm and steady. He traveled thousands of miles to the Beilu and Donglu realms, and he came back safely with dozens of people. Such people would not be aimless, and he was a little patient and listened slowly.
