"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
The next morning.
The morning bell rang.
In an instant, Chang 'an City, which had been silent for the whole night, became lively again.
The Ministry of Works was the most active.
When the city gate opened, more than a hundred people from the Ministry of Works and more than fifty large carts drove out of Chang 'an City.
Those who knew about this knew that they were going to White Deer College in Xiao Mountain to get something.
And it was something important for the phosphate fertilizer factory.
So early in the morning, the commoners didn't eat breakfast. Instead, they held their bowls and squatted at the door to watch the show. In the past, those who went out to walk their birds and dogs were nowhere to be seen. Everyone was huddled in a corner, watching the carriages leave the city.
Outside the Tonghua Gate.
At this moment, the moment the city gates opened.
The sound of firecrackers louder than the morning bell rang through Chang 'an City.
Everyone knew that today's big event was that the phosphate fertilizer factory was going to open.
This also meant that this year's grain harvest was going to be bumper.
This was the most important thing for every citizen.
It was also the most exciting thing for them.
Although they hadn't used the phosphate fertilizer yet, the people who got the malt by chance last time all carefully planted it in their homes like it was a treasure.
Every morning and evening, they would go to see it.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, this wheat sprout grew even more sturdy. In just a few days, it was already as long as a finger. The most important thing was that it was sturdy!
It was as fat as the tip of a chopstick.
How could the people not go crazy?
The malt sprout had never disappeared in Chang 'an City. Every day after dinner, people would talk about it.
This was the most exciting thing for them.
And today, the phosphate fertilizer factory was finally going to officially open. How could the people of Chang 'an City not go crazy?
Outside the Tonghua Gate.
When the gate opened.
A large number of people swarmed out.
In such an anxious wait, two hours later, the ministers from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Appointments, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the other ministers who had just finished the morning meeting arrived one after another.
In the small town outside Chang 'an City.
No one knocked on Zheng Tufu's door anymore.
At this time, the sky was only slightly bright. Almost everyone was at home feeding the pigs and carrying bags of pig feed in preparation for the day's sale.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, Zheng Tufu was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly opened the door.
Zheng Tufu was stunned when he saw the person at the door.
The person who came was none other than Niu Weili, the Old Master of Chang An County.
Niu Weili went straight to the point and asked, "Old Zheng, Lao Li and the others asked me to ask you if you're selling this big fat pig? Today, Fengzi's phosphate fertilizer factory is operating. Lao Li and the others are preparing a banquet for everyone. Your pig is the staple food, you … "
"You're saying that Feng Zi did this?"
Zheng Tufu naturally knew about the phosphate fertilizer factory. He also knew about what happened outside Tonghua Gate, but he never saw Zhang Feng's shadow. After asking around, he found out that these things were made by Lao Li and the others, and not Zhang Feng.
But now that he heard it, Zheng Tufu was a little surprised.
Niu Weili's expression was a little strange when he heard that. "You're saying that this thing caused such a big commotion in Chang 'an City. Who would dare to do this without Feng Zi's approval?"
When he said that, Zheng Tufu slapped his forehead in agitation and said, "We're not selling this pig!"
Niu Weili was anxious when he heard that.
This was what Old Chen had personally told him last night. If he didn't do this well, he might be in trouble. Because Old Chen had also sent a letter from the Censorate. This …
"Brother, Old Zheng, Big Brother Zheng, this is not up for discussion! This … just name a price. How much are you selling it for? "
Zheng Tufu still shook his head. "Not selling!"
Niu Weili was furious.
He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Hey, you idiot, this is an order from the higher-ups. They insisted on naming your pig. Do you know what this means? This means … "
Before he could finish, Zheng Tufu's words almost choked him to death.
Zheng Tufu said leisurely, "This pig is not for sale. In my courtyard, there are fifteen big fat pigs of about two hundred catties. Just tell me how many you want. Do you want me to slaughter them for you here, or drag them to the phosphate fertilizer factory? I'll give them to you, but if you pay, Lao Tzu won't sell even a strand of pig hair! "
"…"
Niu Weili was stunned. .
He couldn't wrap his head around it.
He asked in a daze, "What do you mean by this?"
Zheng Tufu waved his hand and chuckled. "Look at me. If it weren't for Feng 'zi, I, Zheng Tufu, would still be a butcher. All of this is thanks to Feng' zi. Especially these pigs. If it weren't for Feng 'zi's idea, if it weren't for him giving me a way to make money, do you think I would dare to dream of such a good job in my entire life?"
Niu Weili smacked his lips and didn't know what to say.
He knew about this.
After all, he was also a beneficiary back then.
If it weren't for Zhang Feng, where would he have a few hundred mu of fertile land now?
Where would he have those mansions in Chang 'an City?
Even if he worked as a county magistrate his whole life, he wouldn't be able to get it!
