Then, Mr. Zhang smiled and asked them to wait a moment.

But Mr. Zhang walked into the room next to the cottage with his hands behind his back, and Butler Xiao Zhou waved his hand with a smile.

Then we saw several Ji Wu generals carrying a sand table, which was made based on geography and some descriptions.

Seeing the exquisite sand table, the local rustlers were stunned before they could even be stunned, but Butler Xiao Zhou began to introduce them.

"The investment on this road must be enough, and the manpower is enough, but it's only a long time..."

Butler Xiao Zhou smiled and whispered to the people: "Of course, since you have invested, there will be some profits..."

"The National Dynasty Post Station has been passed down for many years, and it consumes a huge amount of national treasury every year, and the burdens are also huge..."

Looking at these local bullies, Xiao Zhou butler smiled and said, "What my little master means is to put it under the Merchant Association..."

"It is also open to business, officials, and military departments to settle the settlement by quota..."

An Ronggui, Yang Ai hadn't reacted yet, Tian Hao's eyes were so huge that he was so angry that he felt a slap in his heart!

He is not An Ronggui, Yang Ai, two aristocratic families who have never been to business, nor is it a Confucian scholar like Song Ran who only stays at home.

Since the Tian family was cleaned up by Emperor Yongle, they could not support a whole family with the hidden money.

They dare not be in the local business, for fear of causing trouble.

So he bought the goods from the tribe leaders who were grateful for their care, and then gave birth to a child as a guard.

Trafficking merchants have become an inevitable choice when they go to other places. Emperor Yongle has accumulated some of the Tian family, who has been doing business for generations so far.

Then, we used silver to clear the pass little by little, and tried our best to avoid conflicts with the other three companies, which could be considered as a way to maintain our foothold in southeastern Guizhou.

After generations of traveling merchants, Tian Hao naturally understood more than anyone else. Once there were no bandits on the road, the scale of traveling merchants would be expanded.

Once the stations along the way are accepted by ordinary people, how much profit will be generated?

That can be called a huge profit!

Many inns are almost exclusive businesses, and the official inns are naturally much safer than the wild.

If you run such a station, and the military department still pays for the consumption... Then it's so profitable, okay?

"You can check these files..."

But the butler Xiao Zhou smiled and sent them a bag of files, and then whispered to Song Ran.

"Mr. Song, please follow me..."

Song Ran was stunned for a moment when he heard this and subconsciously looked at the people from other families.

Seeing that they seemed to have not heard of the file they were flipping through, they stood up with a smile and followed Butler Xiao Zhou to the carriage house.

The interior of the house is decorated in a magnificent manner, and Miss Miaoan serves tea next to her.

Ashikagi Tsuki was smiling and recording the two young ladies from Hattori family were boiling water.

"Duke Song, the Song family has been in southeastern Guizhou for many generations..."

Although Mr. Zhang was talking to Song Ran with a smile, Song Ran still felt like a student before the exam.

"It has been more than hundreds of years since the ancestors of the early Tang Dynasty were granted the title of governor of Manzhou..."

Mr. Zhang smiled slightly and said softly: "Please tea!"

Miss Miaoan placed the teacup in front of Song Ran, and Song Ran nodded but did not dare to raise his head.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then he heard Mr. Zhang speak again.

"I want to advise Your Majesty to restore his son and be the second male title, and then go to southern Yunnan after pacifying the thief of Lu..."

But Mr. Zhang looked at Song Ran with a smile and said softly: "If you obtain military merits, you will ask for a viscount for the Song family to inherit..."

Song Ran almost trembled when he heard this, and the teacup was about to fall off.

Fortunately, he quickly held it with his hands and eyes, and saw Song Ran stand up excitedly and take two steps back to worship Mr. Zhang.

"Mr. Governor treats my Song family so well, and Song... even if he is heartbroken, he will not be able to repay you!!"

Mr. Zhang waved his hand with a smile, and Butler Zhou naturally helped Song Ran up.

"Don't think that 18% of the stocks are shorter. I'm estimated that there will always be 200,000 taels a year."

It’s 200,000 yuan a year, Song Ran shivered so much when he thought about it!

Even if the Song family had some income, they didn't have that much money, and Mr. Zhang's next words made him even more excited.

"I want to invite you to your Majesty. Each generation of the Song family will have a place to go to the Imperial College for study in the capital..."

If you take it in advance, you must first give it to him. Mr. Zhang understands this principle better than anyone else.

But Mr. Zhang blinked the beautiful pair of phoenix peach blossoms and said with a smile: "Nandongnan, it's so bitter..."

"The mountains are high and dense forests are many villages in the deep mountains, so the people's lives are not easy..."

Song Ran bowed and said softly: "The governor and governor are kind-hearted. Although the Song family does not have many acres, there are more than 80 farms..."

"You can go and talk about the Ministry of Revenue..."

Mr. Zhang looked at Lao Song with a smile and said, "You are a friend!"

Old Song was also feeling in his heart, fortunately, Hong Zhoutong talked about the current situation in northern Guangdong intentionally or unintentionally.

Most of the land of merchants and gentry in northern Guangdong are handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for five dou every year.

After hearing this, Old Song understood what he needed to do, and the Song family was indeed not good at managing the land.

As for persuading those tribal leaders to delegate power to go down the mountain...

If they are dissatisfied, the army of the state will make them surrender.

Or they all built roads for southeastern Qian, which is also a good choice!

"The Song family, the head of the Xuanfu Department, always felt that they were not capable of..."

Song Ran actually means that the Song family wants to follow the path of literary officials and take the imperial examinations and become officials.

This is the way out that the ancestors of the Song family saw early in the morning, but it is much better than being the "Commander of the Tongzhi of the Xuanfu Department".

To put it bluntly, the commander of Tongzhi of Xuanfu Department means giving you a local leader.

This is the impression that the Song family has always wanted to get rid of. Only by passing on poetry and books to maintain the family business!

"I also feel that the name of "The Xuanfu Department commands the Tongzhi" should be gradually stopped, but the "Guidongnan Virtue Association Association" can be established..."

Mr. Zhang looked at Song Ran with a smile, feeling that this old guy was too smart.

"The governor and governor are right! The people of the state need to be managed by the state, and we are the hometown sages who cooperate with the tutors..."

Song Ran now knew what Mr. Zhang wanted to do, so he quickly bowed and said, "Song is responsible for this matter!"

"Come on~ Please invite Mr. Song to drink this cup!"

Mr. Zhang smiled and raised the teacup to Song Ran. The latter did not dare to neglect the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

When Song Ran came out, everyone wanted to know what he said to Mr. Zhang.

However, Song Ran just smiled and sat down and started reading the file without saying a word.

"Mr. Zhiming, please follow me..."

This time, butler Xiao Zhou called Tian Hao and Zhiming. It was not surprising that Tian Hao was called out by others.

Just sighed and suddenly stood up, followed Butler Xiao Zhou into the carriage.

An Ronggui's eyelids twitched a few times, and he looked up at Song Ran as if he wanted to say something.

But Song Ran just gave him a look and told him not to be impatient.

Yang Ai was the most nervous at this time. He looked at the introduction in the file with no pleasure and glanced at the carriage without stopping...

"The Tian family has really had a hard time in these years..."

Mr. Zhang looked at Tian Hao with a sigh, and was still very impressed by this old guy who could support Tian.

After all, it is not easy to survive in the gap between the three families. Not to mention the huge forces of the three families, the Hotan family was originally a ruined family.

If something really happens, the National Dynasty will definitely believe that the Tian family is a rebel who wants to be wiped out.

"The ancestors are in trouble, why are the descendants complaining?!"

Tian Hao lowered his head, and his posture was very low: "I only ask the governor and governor to give him a way out, and Tian did not dare to ask for anything else..."

"I want to ask Your Majesty to establish the "Guizhou Southeast Virtue Association and Governor's Association". You can ask the rural virtuous people to serve as a magistrate to assist in governing the government and governing the local area..."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Tian Hao bowed and lowered his head and said softly.

"The Tian family has been doing business for many years, and all the 63 water and land bandits along the southeastern Guizhou are familiar with..."

Well... it's so good to be awesome, I'm very cognitive!

Mr. Zhang was very satisfied, this is what he wanted.

Tian’s family has no other support or other bargaining chips, so this is probably the only one that can be taken out.

He completely sold all the bandits and river bandits involved with An Ronggui, Yang Ai and others to find a way out.
To be continued...
