Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

The three people who were arrested all had tags indicating their identities on them. Once they were arrested and checked, they were indeed Jia Siren's servants. After the matter was clear, it was quickly reported to Zhao Guangyi, the county magistrate of Zhao County.

After learning the truth, Zhao Guangyi immediately took people to arrest Jia Siren.

Jia Siren was a coward to begin with. Even before he was beaten in court, he was almost frightened to death. He quickly said that this was the instruction of the head of the Cui family in Dingzhou County.

Although it involved two places, fortunately it was the prince's family affair, and Cui Yueming was summoned soon.

The head of the Cui family in Dingzhou County has an extremely extraordinary status, and they are also married to the Li family. Even if Li Xin meets Cui Yueming, he can only put on airs and dare not show off his power as a prince.

Zhao Guangyi told Cui Yueming what had happened. The gist of it was that Jia Siren arrested people at his instruction.

Cui Yueming smiled and flicked his sleeves: "You are just a businessman from Zhao County, you don't even have the qualifications to see me, Cui Yueming, and yet you dare to say that this is my instruction."

Seeing Cui Yueming's direct denial, Jia Siren knew that it would be useless even if he told the whole story. He could only say that he was confused for a moment and was talking nonsense.

Fortunately, there was no murder. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the crime could be mitigated by a fine. In the end, he was only beaten with ten sticks and was allowed to go home after paying a small fine.

But Jia Siren also spent money to deal those ten blows, and he just pretended to beat them and got away with it for the time being.

After this incident, Zhao Sheng found the village chief of Nanzhao Village and asked his eldest son Zhao Yongsheng to come and help, whose main task was to ensure security.

In fact, he had been interested in Zhao Yongsheng since he first met him. He had thought he could wait for him, but in the end, he had to ask for him himself. This is often the case with capable people. A single thought can lead to a missed opportunity...

Now that he has two Zhaos in his hands, it depends on whether these people are loyal to him. Sometimes human hearts cannot stand the test. Zhao Sheng will not entrust his safety to one person.

Now that he has money, he doesn't need to be a miser and can try to do what he likes.

Having the dual protection of the Li family and the Princess's Mansion should have been a good thing, but it was also a troublesome thing, because the Li family was divided into two major branches, Longxi and Zhaojun. The Zhaojun Li family was relatively weaker. In fact, there was also a Li family in Taiyuan.

The Qinghe Cui family had deep roots, comparable to the Boling Cui family. The Fanyang Lu family had always maneuvered between the two families, and their family had grown quite rapidly.

The preparation of military grain reserves in Luancheng was originally only intended for the army and civilians in Dingzhou. Even if the emperor knew about this, it could not be brought to the table for discussion.

But the Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang came to them and said they wanted to form an alliance and share the profits equally.

Because of their proximity, people from these big families often mixed together. The patriarch of the Zhaojun Li family had no choice but to come to Dingzhou County to find Li Xin, Zhao Sheng and others to discuss.

"Industry is an asset chain that can be developed infinitely. If we only operate in Dingzhou and protect the interests of the people of Dingzhou, there will be no problem. However, if we want to achieve nationwide development, it will definitely not be possible to rely solely on our Li family."

In fact, after Zhao Sheng and the princess got married, some members of the Li family asked him to hand over his property to the Li family for management on the grounds that Zhao Sheng was a son-in-law.

Later, Li Xin rejected them on the grounds of military storage. Now Luancheng has launched many novel snacks. Although some people have imitated them, there are still some differences in taste. So Li came forward to discuss this issue.

Mr. Zhao just expressed his thoughts, which roughly means that some things can be released, and the key is whether there will be benefits.

For example, the production of tofu, bean sprouts and dried tofu is now handed over to the Zhao family members in Zhao County, and the Zhao family only takes 10% of their profits.

At least for now, the Zhao family in Zhao County can accept it. Who can guarantee that the Zhao family will not expand outward?

This series of events cannot be stopped with Zhao Sheng's current power. For the time being, he will just consider it as helping the people of Zhao County. After all, the people here in Zhao County have suffered quite a lot.

The population of Shigang Village is not large and its composition is relatively complex. In fact, the purpose of reclaiming land in Shigang Village is just to sort stones. Some of these stones are gypsum stones, and some are some composite salt ores.

Gypsum often coexists with rock salt. This surface landform appears in large quantities in the Dingzhou area, which is also the main reason why this place is not suitable for rice cultivation.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng could only separate the stones on the surface with Shigang Village as the center to make some gypsum powder and salt.

In order to prevent this place from becoming an area monopolized by aristocratic families, these methods became Zhao Sheng's top secret.

Li Xin saw that Zhao Sheng wanted to cooperate with several aristocratic families and asked, "Should we hand over all the production methods, or collect a one-time transfer fee from them?"

"These things themselves aren't high-tech. If they can benefit the people, there's no problem with making them public. But I don't trust these people from aristocratic families. Let's see what they think first."

Li Xin thought Zhao Sheng's idea was very good, so he agreed to act accordingly. He informed the patriarch of the Li family of his decision and started to discuss with the Cui and Lu families on small food to see how they could cooperate.

The negotiations among the three families here soon attracted the covetousness of the Wang family and the Li family of Taiyuan, who then formed a team and went to Dingzhou to meet with the other two family heads. How could such a big thing be left to only three families?

As a result of their actions, the Zheng family of Xingyang also sent representatives to express their willingness to participate.

Zhao Sheng took a look and thought, okay, now no one comes here except from the south, and a coverage network has already been formed in the area north of the Yangtze River. The key point is that the Great Zhou Dynasty is only this big.

After a few years of changes, it will probably be divided into countless countries. Given the current economy, can we unite the hearts of these people?

The Wei family has always developed around the political center and was not interested in the small snacks that appeared in Dingzhou. That is, the moment the Zheng family came to Dingzhou, several families sat together and Zhao Sheng decided to discuss the cooperation model.

They set up a large table in a large empty warehouse in Luancheng, and the major families sat around it. Zhao Sheng, wearing a mask, placed many strange instruments on the table.

"Dear family heads, today is the day when the recipe is made public. The reason for making it public is to avoid hurting everyone's feelings. First of all, I want to state that all the recipes mentioned today are true.

But to maintain confidentiality, I hope that each family member will hand over 10,000 taels of silver as collateral before they can view the data released today."

As soon as Mr. Zhao finished speaking, there was an uproar below. They hadn't mentioned before that one had to pay to watch it.

"Everyone, rest assured, there are only two modes of cooperation. One is to buy out the technology, and the other is to cooperate. Paying money is to prevent anyone from regretting it. This is equivalent to buying out the technology. If you are willing to cooperate, this is the initial capital to start."

Some people find this statement very reasonable, and everyone hopes that the cooperation will be successful.

"We don't have that much money on us, how can we give it to them?" someone immediately said.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand to stop the noise below and said, "It's okay. I have the craft subscription form here. Just sign it and confirm that you owe our palace ten thousand taels of silver."

Mr. Zhao was a bit confused. What was going on? Was this a forced sale? Or did he mean that after signing the contract, I would have the formula and could make it myself in the future?

But isn’t it too expensive to use 10,000 taels of silver to buy a recipe?
