I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan signaled the two to leave with his eyes. After all, Lin Fan planned to let Zhang Guangzhi deal with it first.

Now that he has the salt-making method in his hands, Lin Fan is naturally not afraid that the Shen family will not join him.

If Lin Fan wanted to support another merchant family with his salt-making method, it would naturally only be a matter of time.

Just because of the reasons Lin Fan gave, no matter whether it was the Shen family or any other family, they could not refuse.

As businessmen, it would be really weird if they rejected the God of Wealth.

The reason why Lin Fan asked Zhang Guangzhi to meet the Shen family first was, on the one hand, because Lin Fan didn't want to waste time with people who had no status in the Shen family.

On the other hand, it was Lin Fan’s own revenge.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, not to mention that Lin Fan never considered himself a gentleman.

After receiving Lin Fan's eye signal, Zhang Guangzhi immediately nodded and turned around to deal with the Shen family's visit.

Lin Fan looked at Zhang Guangzhi's leaving back in silence.

"Chun Fang, who do you think the Shen family will send here now?" Lin Fan asked, looking at the wall.

"Chun Fang doesn't know, but Chun Fang feels that it should be someone with a little status in the Shen family. They should not send some small fish and shrimp to test the Marquis' attitude. The Shen family should show some sincerity." Chun Fang said.

Lin Fan nodded. It was impossible that the Shen family didn’t even know this.

In the front yard, Zhang Guangzhi was leisurely walking with his hands behind his back, followed by Chu Hu with his eyes wide open. The two of them entered the reception room, one in front and one behind.

In the reception room, a middle-aged man was sitting on the guest seat, and a woman in military uniform was standing behind him.

"Are you sent by the Shen family?" Zhang Guangzhi sat on the main seat and asked.

The middle-aged man was naturally Shen Tiancheng, the head of the Shen family, and the woman was Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing heard Zhang Guangzhi's tone and knew what he meant. She said, "I heard that Lord Lin of Daliang is recruiting a Taoist priest. So he must be a Taoist priest, right?"

Zhang Guangzhi nodded and did not deny it.

Shen Qingqing continued, "I also heard that Lord Lin went to Pingyang City to rescue Taoist Master Yao Guangxiao that day. The plan was flawless. I guess it must have been the Taoist master's plan, right? I really admire him."

Zhang Guangzhi shook his head. Before he could speak, Chu Hu said, "Your news is true, but that opportunity was thought up by our Lord. As for Taoist Zhang, he is not that impatient!"

Zhang Guangzhi was choked by Chu Hu's words. He couldn't say what he had originally intended to say. In the end, he glared at Chu Hu fiercely.

Chu Hu naturally didn't give Zhang Guangzhi face. Seeing Zhang Guangzhi glaring at him, he glared back at Zhang Guangzhi fiercely and shouted, "Why, do you want to take credit for this?"

Shen Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, then asked: "By comparison, this must be General Chu Hu, right? It is rumored that General Chu is a match for ten thousand men. Now it seems that it is indeed true."

Chu Hu didn't fall for Shen Qingqing's flattery, so he glared at Shen Qingqing and said, "I'm a rough man, I only know a few rough punches and clumsy kicks, I can't be a match for ten thousand people, you don't have to flatter me, my master said that if you want to cooperate, you have to show sincerity, no sincerity, go back and call your master, you are not qualified."

Shen Qingqing and Shen Tiancheng looked at each other, both feeling a little overwhelmed by Chu Hu's words.

Shen Tiancheng stood up, clenched his fist and said, "General Chu, I am Shen Tiancheng."

Chu Hu didn't know that Shen Tiancheng was the patriarch of the Shen family, so he glared and said, "I don't care about your Tiancheng or Dicheng. Go back and call your patriarch, otherwise there's no point in talking."

"You idiot, Shen Tiancheng is the head of the Shen family." Zhang Guangzhi rolled his eyes secretly and whispered to Chu Hu.

"He is the head of the Shen family? He doesn't look like one?" Chu Hu scratched his head and asked puzzledly.

"What else? What do you think the head of the family looks like?" Zhang Guangzhi said helplessly.

"Okay, then you continue talking to him." Chu Hu said carelessly, as if he didn't care about his behavior.

Zhang Guangzhi was speechless. Now that Chu Hu had interfered, his original plan had been disrupted. But this was also a good thing. Chu Hu, this black guy, was stubborn, which was not a bad idea. It also expressed the attitude of his lord.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangzhi whispered to Chu Hu: "Black guy, how about you come and talk?"

Chu Hu was stunned, but he was not afraid. He dragged Zhang Guangzhi aside and scolded him, "If I had known that you, Zhang Laodao, were such a coward, I would have asked the Marquis to let me talk from the beginning. Go aside and I will talk."

Chu Hu sat down on the seat where Zhang Guangzhi had just sat, looked at Shen Tiancheng and Shen Qingqing and said, "I'm here to talk to you. I want to ask you, do you want to cooperate?"

Chu Hu imitated Lin Fan's usual appearance, but he couldn't get the form or spirit right. Coupled with that murderous face, he looked particularly weird.

Shen Tiancheng suppressed his smile and said to Chu Hu, "General Chu Hu, we have to cooperate, but we want to know how much soap you can supply?"

Chu Hu tilted his head and smiled, recalling what Lin Fan and Chun Fang had said, his eyes brightened, and he said, "This soap is a precious item. It took a lot of effort for our Lord to make it. Moreover, our Lord is the only one in the world who has it. If the quantity is large, our Lord can supply thousands of pieces a month."

Thousands of dollars?

Zhang Guangzhi was shocked. He didn't know Lin Fan's process of making soap. He was afraid that Chu Hu would say too much and Lin Fan would not be able to make it, so he hurriedly whispered:

"Black guy, are you sure the Marquis can make it?"

Chu Hu rolled his eyes at Zhang Guangzhi and said disdainfully, "Of course, I'm the Marquis's bodyguard, how could I not know?"

After listening to Chu Hu's words, Shen Tiancheng's eyes lit up and he said, "If that's the case, we can cooperate. As long as you supply us with 1,000 bars of soap a month, we will buy it at the price."

Chu Hu nodded, and suddenly thought of the method of making salt, so he said: "My master has a method of making salt, which can turn mineral salt into fine salt."

Chu was not stupid. Shen Tiancheng was talking about cooperation, but the Marquis wanted the Shen family to surrender, so he directly brought up the salt-making method.

Shen Qingqing's face turned red when she heard this, and she asked hurriedly, "Can you turn poisonous mineral salt into fine salt?"

Chu Hu said carelessly: "This is not fake, I saw it with my own eyes, and I also tasted a lot, so it is definitely not poisonous."

Now, Shen Tiancheng could no longer sit still. If what Chu Hu said was true, it seemed that the Shen family had to submit to Lin Fan, and as soon as possible.

Salt is an indispensable item in any era.

Whether it is the army or farmers, if they want to have the strength to work, salt is naturally indispensable. If Lin Fan really has a way to turn rock salt into fine salt, then the business opportunities will probably be huge.

"Why are you hesitating so much? Are you going to surrender or not?"
