Chapter 27: Xianlian Pavilion Disturbance

Updated: 2013-03-26

The news came from the Lone Wolf soldiers that the Su family had moved to Jincheng and everything went well.

The uneasiness that had lingered in my heart for many days completely dissipated and the biggest threat disappeared. Su Shuang decided to give it a try. The task assigned to him by Jia Rong was arduous, but Su Shuang was confident to complete it, relying solely on the rights Jia Rong gave him.

Anyone will be moved by the 30% profit of Xianlian Pavilion. He is confident that he can do these things well with 20% profit. No one really knows how much profit of Xianlian Pavilion is. Su Shuang is no exception. He only knows a lot. Emperor Han takes 20% of the 20% of the 30% of the 30% of the 30% he has been deducted again and again. The data on the surface is largely false.

No one could think that the profits of Xianlian Pavilion were calculated at a few hundred percent, and they could not think of them.

As the political and cultural center of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang's consumption level was not average high. As a result, Luoyang's Xianlian Pavilion had the largest sales volume, with monthly sales reaching about 150,000 pounds. Of course, some secret transactions were not included.

Xianlian Pavilion was opened in Luoyang for so long, and it was impossible for it to survive under the majesty of the Emperor of Han. If necessary, it would give some benefits to the aristocratic families, such as selling Xianlian to them at a low price, so that they could feel the sincerity of Xianlian Pavilion.

These data were made public to the Emperor of Han. In front of Emperor Han and Zhang Rang, the costs and transportation costs and the consumption of the shop's shop, and even the consumption of the fifty imperial guards sent by Emperor Han was included, with only 50,000 jin left. Of course, these data were definitely not true, but just an act of pleading with Emperor Han.

With a headache, the Emperor of Han happily accepted the ten thousand yuan and then gave Su Shuang a burst of encouragement.

The monthly wages of the Imperial Guard sent by the Emperor of Han to Xianlian Pavilion in Xianlian Pavilion had increased to five guan. After learning the news, the Emperor of Han forced 100 people in Xianlian Pavilion, and each of them still paid five guan. However, the actual income of these soldiers was two guan. The remaining three guan was left by the Emperor of Han. After the soldiers of the Imperial Guard knew that, there were no complaints. Many soldiers were reluctant to be sent to Xianlian Pavilion. The fifty soldiers before consciously handed over three guan every month. In this way, the Emperor of Han could earn an additional 450 guan per month.

Looking at Su Shuang, Emperor Han felt that the discomfort of the past few days had dissipated a lot. This was a great God of Wealth. When Emperor Han thought that the God of Wealth had some connection with Jia Rong, he was still a little unhappy.

"Su Shuang, I wonder how the business of Xianlian Pavilion has been going on recently?" asked the Emperor of Han.

Su Shuang bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, the business of Luoyang Xianlian Pavilion is the same as before. Thank you for your care!"

With a light cough, the Han Emperor said lightly: "I didn't expect that the Su family was the master behind the Xianlian Pavilion."

Su Shuang said embarrassedly: "My father has given many instructions, and the people have no choice but to have any difficulties. Please forgive me."

The Emperor of Han said "Oh" and said with a smile: "You are not blamed for this!"

Suddenly, Emperor Han's eyes tightened and he asked, "What is the connection between the Su family and Jia Rong? Come and explain!"

Listening to the tone of Emperor Han's command, Su Shuang's heart tightened for no reason. His mind was a little dazed under the words of Emperor Han, which made Su Shuang unable to resist. Could this be the majesty of the emperor?

He became more and more stable and his mind was calm. Su Shuang said in a humble manner: "When my father went to the Xiongnu to sell horses. When he passed by Liangzhou, he encountered a horse thief. He was seriously injured by the horse thief and threw it in the wilderness. Fortunately, Jia Rong's father rescued his father, which made him the Su family today. My father always reminded him not to forget the Jia family's life-saving grace. In fact, Caomin knew Jia Rong only in the Hedong Wei family last year."

The Emperor of Han stared at Su Shuang's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to find a clue from it, but it was fruitless for a long time. He sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be such an experience. In this way, it is understandable that the Su family set up the Xianlian Pavilion in Jincheng to help Jia Rong."

Su Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Han Emperor's gaze made Su Shuang feel like he was on his back. In just a moment, his back was soaked in sweat. "My father is willing to give up 10% of the profits of Xianlian Pavilion and donate them to the national treasury." Su Shuang threw out the chips.

Emperor Han was moved that 10% of the profits of Xianlian Pavilion and 20% of the profits of Luoyang Xianlian Pavilion were completely different. Luoyang alone had such profits, let alone the whole man combined.

As the king of a country, the Emperor of Han still paid great attention to his image, suppressed his inner excitement, and said lightly: "The loyalty of the Su family is commendable!"

"Thank you for your praise. I hope that the emperor will not be too embarrassed for the sake of the Su family. It is also said that my father fulfilled a wish and repayed Jia Rong's father's kindness for saving his father." Seeing that the time was almost the same, Su Shuang gave up his last condition.

After a moment of thinking, the Emperor of Han agreed. He took such a big advantage and was a bit unkind if he didn't agree to such a small matter. Now Jia Rong has resigned from the position of prefect of Jincheng. He is just an ordinary citizen. At best, he is a local tyrant, and his influence has been reduced to the minimum. When Jia Rong returns to Jincheng again, it may have changed things and people.

Another reason why he agreed so readily was that Jia Rong would not live for too long. If the Emperor of Han let him go, those aristocratic families would choose to take revenge, especially Jia Rong puts shoes on a transcendent aristocratic family like the Yuan family. The consequences can be imagined. With the Emperor of Han’s understanding of these aristocratic families, revenge will soon come.

"Come, give me a seat!" Emperor Han was still very polite in the face of his God of Wealth.

After Su Shuang bowed three times, he sat on a small stool brought from the yellow gate. He said he was sitting, but in fact he had just a little bit of his butt. No one could still maintain a carefree personality in front of Emperor Han.

"I wonder how much profit can Xianlian Pavilion make in one month?" The Han emperor was most concerned about how much he could earn, and who made the treasury empty?

Su Shuang thought for a moment and said, "The whole Han Dynasty now has fifty Xianlian Pavilion. Those who went out to Luoyang have a profit of about 5,000 guan per month, and all of them are about 300,000 guan."

The Han Emperor let out a light hiss. The profit of 300,000 guan was spent, which was costly, accounting for 10,000 guan, which was enough to buy more than 30,000 stones of grain and grass, and enough to have a 30,000 army for two months. If they were not in charge, they would not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. After truly taking over all the affairs of the Han Dynasty, the Han Emperor realized how precious food and grass were.

The Han emperor, who was determined to revive the Han Dynasty, reduced the expenses of the harem to a minimum, and all the money earned from selling official positions was filled with the national treasury. This was still not enough expenses, so the prefecture and the governor had fully managed a state and pacified the rebels in the territory.

The Emperor of Han regretted it, especially when he heard that the profits of Xianlian Pavilion were so great, he deeply regretted that he had not extorted it just now, 300,000 yuan. If the Emperor of Han could have so much money to make in January, he would no longer have to worry about the daily emergency letter. If he had enough money, all the problems would be solved.

After chatting with the Emperor of Han for a while, Su Shuang also returned to his previous calmness and cleverness. Looking at the Emperor of Han's changing face, Su Shuang understood what he was thinking and said, "The Su family is willing to donate another hundred good horses."

The Emperor of Han was also a little embarrassed. Isn’t this a naked blackmail? In order to hide the embarrassment in his heart, the Emperor of Han stroked his beard and said, “Well, the Su family is really a loyal family.” Good horses are worth a thousand gold. As a big horse seller, the war horses donated by the Su family will naturally not be too bad. One thousand gold is worth more than one hundred horses.

If the Emperor of Han knew that the Western Liang army had many war horses, I wonder if he would be happy about Su Shuang's generousness.

"From now on, Su Shuang will be appointed as a doctor to express his loyalty and righteousness of the Su family."

Su Shuang thanked him. Before he met Jia Rong, he received such a reward. Su Shuang might be grateful to sell himself to the Han Emperor completely. He has been struggling in Luoyang for so long and has never seen anything. Su Shuang naturally didn't care about this reward. The difference is that when he met the Han Emperor in the future, he became a "subject" rather than a "grassman".

In short, the Emperor of Han felt that he had made a profit. He thought that the ministers in the court wanted to go further, and the price they spent was much smaller than that of Su Shuang.

In order to show the great grace of the emperor, Emperor Han increased the number of Su Shuang's guards to 300. If someone dared to be unfavorable to Su Shuang in Luoyang City, the first person to stand up must be Emperor Han.

Su Shuang used the remaining 10% profit to bribe Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the Ten Generals, and the other court officials, after accepting Su Shuang's benefits, their favor for Xianlian Pavilion increased rapidly. Xianlian Pavilion not only did not usher in disasters at the forefront, but became an opportunity for its development.

With this incident, Xianlian Pavilion expanded again, the number increased to 60, and its strength expanded again, and the Su family also became one of the famous families in the Han Dynasty.

In contrast to the high-profile of Xianlian Pavilion, Jia Rong was silently preparing for the things he left. Now Jincheng is mixed with all kinds of characters, and there are countless families in Jincheng. Any movements of Jia Rong will be spread immediately, especially during the sensitive period when Jia Rong resigned, Jia Rong was always paying attention to his words and deeds.

Jia Rong comforted all his subordinates with kind words. Jia Xu was left to continue to preside over the intelligence network of the Western Liang army. Zhang Li, with the assistance of Zhang Zhao, governed Jincheng. Li Shun and other generals were stationed in various parts of Jincheng to protect the safety of Jincheng. The clan leaders of various Qiang tribes slapped their chests and slammed their chests. Once a war occurred, the whole clan would gather the strength of the entire clan to help the prefect of Jincheng.

Under Jia Rong's rule, the Qiang people felt the hope that life brought to them.

After the resignation of Jia Rong, his command was unprecedentedly united.

Jia Rong originally planned to take a few soldiers around, especially Lijia Village, to go back and take a look and experience the scenery of various parts of the Han Dynasty. Wouldn't it be fun?

In the Xiliang army, Jia Rong was a well-deserved pillar. He successfully gathered the Han and Qiang people together. It can be said that without him, there would be no Jincheng in the present, and Jia Rong would not have this team.
