Wei Changshi didn't ask further questions, Xie Jingan also heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked about the situation in several nearby states.

Wei Changshi thought about it for a moment, and said: "Mozhou and the surrounding counties and towns are about the same as those on the list. As for the nearby states, they are as far away as Weizhou, Dezhou, and Weichen. Zhou Weichen still knows a thing or two."

Wei Changshi said: "Yizhou is the second family of Fang Yao. This Fang family is a partial branch of Fang Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of War. There are forty or fifty shops in the thirteen prefectures of His Royal Highness's fief, and even more in other places in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are also two caravans under his name, all of which are large caravans with hundreds of people. Merchant ships, so the information from all over the world is very well-informed, so the relationship with Mr. Fang is very close. Besides, the ancestors of the Fang family are a hundred-year-old family who have been in the prime minister. They are very famous in Yizhou. Give three points of courtesy."

Xie Jingan listened carefully, seeing that Wei Changshi's mouth was a little dry, he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

Wei Changshi took it with a flattered face and drank it, and said: "In addition to the Fang family in this Yizhou, the next one is the Yao family. He is just a wealthy businessman who has a lot of money, and he doesn't know what smoke is coming from the ancestral grave, but he gave birth to a pair of jade girls and golden boys. This pair of children is not only extremely beautiful, but also very intelligent. He was valued by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and now he is a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Officials. The girl invited a female teacher to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. The fame of the talented woman once spread to Chang'an, and then she somehow fell into the eyes of the King of Thailand and carried her into the mansion. After becoming a child, the Yao family has risen accordingly, although it is not as good as the Shang family, it cannot be taken lightly in Yizhou."

After talking about Yizhou, Wei Changshi also briefly explained the situation of Dingzhou and Yingzhou. They are similar to Yizhou. Although they are not a wealthy family with hairpin tassels, they are quite important in Xie Jingan's fief .

Xie Jingan listened quietly, but did not say anything to Wei Changshi, but thought about it in his heart, Yizhou is in the east-west direction of Mozhou, Dingzhou is in the west, and Yingzhou is in the south. In terms of distance, it is almost far from Mozhou , although the road is not easy in this era, and now it has snowed a few times, but four days is almost enough time for them to pack up and rush to Mozhou.

It's just that it takes four days to come here, so plus the time for the servants to deliver the stickers, I'm a little nervous.

It's just that if there are fewer people, the things he specially prepared can't be sold at a high price. Besides, it will take ten days before Zhao San goes to Cangzhou. Then simply have a lively and lively banquet, and invite Mozhou, but leave out the nearby states. Jizhou and Shenzhou are far away. The three states of Yizhou, Dingzhou, and Yingzhou are not good. Post a name post, so, Wei Changshi, the king will postpone the date of the banquet by five days, and set it on the fifth day of the next month. Wei Changshi will add all the famous families from the other three states mentioned just now to the roster, and invite them together. "

Wei Changshi responded casually, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. He only knew that Xie Jingan wanted to use something to lure the family to donate food and money, but after thinking about it, he couldn't imagine that Xie Jingan could have something so that the family who had seen so much of the world could do so. If you don't ask clearly, you always have nothing in your heart. After thinking about it again and again, Wei Changshi gritted his teeth and asked the bottom line: "Your Highness, my humble minister is dull, and I really can't think of anything that the palace can exchange for so much money. Your Highness should take pity on you." The minister is getting older, let me reveal a thing or two to the humble minister."

This Wei Changshi, Xie Jingan couldn't laugh or cry, he dared to rely on his old man to sell his old man in front of him, but the results of the dining room hadn't come out yet, Xie Jingan couldn't tell the whole story before the matter was confirmed, and was about to fool the past again so as to delay it for two days, so he listened Cui Tong said outside the door: "His Royal Highness, Manager Liu of the dining room asked to see him, saying that the urgent matter that His Highness entrusted to him yesterday has taken shape, so he came to ask His Highness for instructions."

It's really sleepy to send a pillow. Xie Jingan was thinking about when the dining room would have results, but he didn't expect to have a clue so soon, so he said happily, "Quickly pass it on."

Before the words were finished, Guanshi Liu, the chubby man who took over the errand yesterday, had already entered the door, followed by two young servants holding a few dishes and two bowls of fragrant rice porridge. In addition to these snacks, there was also a A bowl of soup that tastes delicious at first sight.

Liu Guanshi saw the ceremony, and asked his servants to put the breakfast on the table one by one, while smiling and said: "His Royal Highness, the villain lived up to His Highness's entrustment, and after staying up all night, I finally let the villain be with you." The new seasoning made a few dishes. The novelty that His Highness got from Tanzhou is really rare in the world. It looks inconspicuous, but it tastes very good. Whether it is cooking or soup, it can be used. "

Liu Guanshi babbled a lot, and Xie Jingan couldn't wait to put a chopsticks of small dishes into his mouth. It really had the familiar taste, not as delicious as chicken essence, but it was extremely rare in the Zhou Dynasty where seasonings were scarce.

Xie Jingan ate a tasteless meal for nearly two months, and now he finally tasted something of the afterlife, and he couldn't help but eat more in a row. Seeing that half of the small dishes on the table were gone, he endured it. Looking at Wei Changshi with a smile, he said, "Didn't Wei Changshi ask me what kind of medicine is sold in this king's gourd? It's just these. Wei Changshi will try it soon and see if this king's idea can be realized. Is it so valuable?" , can be used to exchange money from the aristocratic family for food."

Hearing what Xie Jingan and Liu Guanshi had said, Wei Changshi finally understood, and without refusing, he simply and neatly took a new pair of chopsticks from the servant's hand, carefully picked up a small dish of chopsticks as if he was picking up some delicacy Put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then said with bright eyes: "Kecheng, it's not like Wei Chen has never eaten in famous restaurants in Chang'an, but compared to the dishes made by His Highness with this new seasoning, it's far worse. After a while, Weichen wondered why His Highness wanted to exchange food from the aristocratic family, so there was this secret recipe, but what is the cost of this new seasoning? How big is the output? If you want to exchange it for a big price, you can’t do it if the output is small.”

When mentioning the production volume, Xie Jingan thought of Zhao San saying that he had never seen kelp, which made Xie Jingan a little unexpected. Originally, his plan was to use kelp to make simple monosodium glutamate, but now there is no kelp, and seaweed is just fine. I was afraid that Zhao San would come back, and the things he brought back would make him happy for nothing.

It's just that the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent out. At worst, those aristocratic families will worry about raw materials.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingan calmed down again, and said with a smile: "The cost is not high, the process is not complicated, and the raw materials are not hard to find. The king has already sent people to Cangzhou to look for them. If their trip goes well, they can catch up with me The king invited the family to a banquet, and at the banquet, Wei Changshi was required to cooperate with the king, and use this new seasoning to exchange for more money, it is urgent to release the fiefdom."

Now that Wei Changshi understood Xie Jingan's plan, he naturally promised to fully cooperate.

Xie Jingan originally planned to talk to him about the details of the day of the banquet, but Wei Changshi was so excited that he couldn't sit still, how could he have the time to talk to him, even the new dishes researched by the dining room were not allowed to stay with him, so he said goodbye in a hurry leave.
