Zhao Conggu also had another identity, that of Su Shi's biological uncle.
Speaking of this matter, Zhao has always hated his younger sister Zhao Fei'er. Because it was Zhao Fei'er who eloped with Su Feiyang in the first place, which made the family's original plan for a marriage come to nothing.
Because of this, they became the laughing stock of everyone.
His power has plummeted since then.
Of course, these are all past events, and no one has mentioned them for a long time. But after Su Shi suddenly arrived in the capital, all the old news seemed to have happened yesterday, making it impossible for people to forget.
Three brothers, Zhao Shimai, Zhao Shirui and Zhao Shishe, all came to see their father. In the study, they explained in detail some of the recent events.
Zhao Shishe even told the story of how he wanted to clean up Su Shi when Jin Mingchi opened the park.
He was not afraid that his father would blame him, because he knew very well that Zhao Conggu was very dissatisfied with Su Feiyang, so naturally he would not be optimistic about Su Shi.
Sure enough, after he told what he had done, Zhao Conggu showed no intention of blaming him.
Although Zhao Conggu was not very old, he had already stopped being involved in foreign affairs. Even when he went to court, unless Renzong called his name, he would always be absent due to poor health. He just wanted to spend his old age in peace.
It is enough if the descendants can live in peace.
As for power, this kind of major event that may threaten your own life and safety if you are not careful is still too dangerous and it is better not to fight.
But now when he heard his three sons say this, the appearance of Su Shi had already threatened the foundation of his descendants, and Zhao Conggu's face turned ugly. "If I remember correctly, this son should only have ten sons."
He's four years old, how could such a turmoil arise? Can you find out if there is someone else behind him?"
Zhao Conggu is indeed a man who has experienced struggle. Some of his father's words before his death are still vivid in his mind.
In his opinion, Su Shi could do so many things in just over a month. If it were all his own doing, it would be terrible. Someone should be helping him behind the scenes, and
If the person behind the scenes is not found, it would be a wise choice to force Su Shifei.
"There's no one behind the scenes, but it's just good luck that Qian Bao's illness was cured, and that's how he got his supply channel." Zhao Shirui, the second son, spoke up.
If Zhao Shirui had not put Su Shi in his eyes before and thought that everything he did had nothing to do with him, the sudden appearance of Pretty Woman Rouge Shop had affected his cake and interests, and he couldn't help but stand up.
"Are you talking about Qian Bao, the businessman who gave you a happy career? His weight alone is not enough." Zhao Conggu shook his head.
Even if a businessman is rich, the most he can do is make waves in the business market. But look at Su Shi. In a short period of time, he not only made a lot of money, but also got involved with several powerful families.
This kind of approach is not something that a businessman can do well.
If the businessman really had such great energy, why didn't Qian Bao do it himself and put him in Su Shi's hands?
Money is certainly a good thing in many cases, but when compared with power, its weight is still too light.
To put it simply, you can have money if you have power, but does having money necessarily mean you have power?
Not necessarily!
"What dad means is that there is someone behind Su Shi, and he is a very powerful person, for example..." The eldest son, Zhao Shimai, ended up working in the court. Although he lacked ability, he had seen a lot and experienced a lot, and his thinking was
Naturally, it will open up a lot.
I saw him stretching out a finger and pointing slowly towards the sky.
"Well, it is possible. Don't forget, it is difficult to get a sixth-grade official status just by curing His Royal Highness King Jing's physical illness." Zhao Conggu saw that his eldest son understood what he wanted.
I mean, I nodded happily.
After hearing his father's affirmative tone, Zhao Shimai's face was filled with joy, but he was shocked and said in his heart: "So, he really can't move."
"Yes, Jane is in the emperor's heart. Now the officials are watching his every move. At this time, everything we do is wrong." Zhao Conggu nodded helplessly.
"Dad, why don't we do nothing?" Zhao Shirui said anxiously.
If he does nothing, his rouge business will be greatly affected. He has been used to living a rich life. If he suddenly has no money, how will he live in the future?
"Of course it's not that we don't do anything. We have to do something, such as building momentum." Zhao Conggu's face showed a cold and cruel look, just because he disappeared too quickly from appearance to three sons.
Didn't notice it at all.
"Building momentum?" Zhao Shimai and the other three looked startled. At this time, they did not understand what their father meant.
"Yes, it's just to build momentum. Do you know what flattery means?" Zhao Conggu's face regained its original smile.
Su Shi was his nephew. It is said that the ancients valued the relationship between nephew and uncle very much, and it was a kind of close relationship. But who made Su Shi's appearance not recognized by them at all?
Just like what Zhao Shishe said at the beginning, he is just a savage person. For such a person, if you stay in the small place of Qianqizhuang honestly, it will be fine if others don’t remember you. But if you want to jump out, then
No wonder others want to suppress you.
Of course, Zhao Conggu didn't know that Su Shi might not have come to Bianliang City originally. It was his fifth son Zhao Shishe who sent someone to greet Shenguan, the young master of the Yingchang Mansion, in order to oppress the Su family.
This forced Su Shi to make the decision to enter the capital.
If he knew all this, he probably wouldn't know what to say. Just like that sentence, you have to face the consequences of your own actions.
"Praise!" the three sons said in unison, and then looked at each other thoughtfully.
"It's just to flatter him. We want everyone to know that Su Shi has made a lot of money. In this case, there will definitely be jealous people, and that's when they will attack him in groups. When there are more people who don't like him, it will be
The officials also have to consider giving up this person. At that time, how do we want to deal with him? Isn't it just a matter of words? At that time, as Su Shi's family, we will come forward to mediate on his behalf. I ask you, what will he do?
If you’re not grateful, won’t you listen to us obediently when the time comes?”
Hearing what Zhao Conggu said, Zhao Shirui's eyes immediately widened.
If you put it this way, wouldn't it mean that all those strange rouges will be owned by him? Wouldn't it mean that those who make tens of thousands or even more in a day will become themselves?
Thinking that he would have endless money to spend by then, Zhao Shirui's face immediately lit up with joy. "My father is still awesome and wise!"
"Father is wise."
Zhao Shimai and Zhao Shishe obviously figured out the joints quickly, and they all clasped their fists in excitement and complimented them.
"Hahaha, that's how things are in the world. As long as you are willing to use your brain, you can always find a way to solve things. Okay, I have given you an idea. What you do next is all up to you." Zhao
Laughing since ancient times.
"Don't worry, Dad, we will naturally take care of the rest of the matter." The three Zhao Shimai brothers were all gearing up, as if Su Shi was now their meal, and they could handle the meat in the bowl.
...
In the morning of Bianliang City, two large carts were walking on the street pulling five boxes worth one hundred thousand guan.
Originally, carriages like this were often seen on the streets of the capital, and no one paid much attention to them. However, I don’t know whether it was because the box was not covered properly or there were potholes on the road. In short, several coins suddenly fell from the carriage while it was walking.
fell down.
Money suddenly dropped on the street, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Under the gaze of everyone, the driver stopped the car, picked up the fallen money, and casually reopened the wooden box and put it in. At that moment, more copper coins in the wooden box appeared in front of everyone's sight.
middle.
With so much money, many people's eyes became hot when they saw it.
As if feeling everyone's attention, the driver who was driving the carriage quickly raised his hands and clasped his fists around him and said: "Everyone, this money is all the business taxes paid by Mr. Tongzhi Langsu. Don't make any decisions, otherwise it will be a capital crime and no one can save you.
Got you."
Business tax.
Hearing that the money was used for such a purpose, some of the casually dressed and even unkempt men in the crowd immediately gave up the idea of taking action.
Commercial taxes are state property, and anyone who wants to touch them will face the full force of the government's pursuit. It's like sending a letter with a rush of 800 to 600 miles. Do you think anyone has ever tried to take advantage of them?
If this kind of thing is not done, it will be done. If it is done, it will be investigated to the end. Even if you escape to the ends of the world, the court will not give up the pursuit.
In this case, if you get money that you cannot spend, what is the use of such money?
The streets became orderly again, and the matter of Su Shi taking out a large amount of money to pay business taxes naturally spread on the streets.
"This Tongzhilang is really rich. He just paid business tax, but he took out so much at once. Didn't he earn more?" Among the crowd, it is inevitable that there will be some meddlesome people sitting in the tea shop.
Inside, thinking about the scene just now, I couldn't help but say a few words.
"I heard that Tongzhiro is only fourteen years old and has leg problems, but he still has such great abilities. It really embarrasses us."
"You all don't know, right now, someone is calling Tongzhilang Su Wanwan, but in my opinion, this name will be changed sooner or later. The business tax is only so much, so why don't you want to be Su Wanwan in the future?"
"Tens of millions, this is too exaggerated. How much tax revenue does our Song Dynasty have in a year?"
Obviously some people in the crowd didn't believe it, but then someone else said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. There was a businessman named Qian Bao who once gave Leye a lot of food. He got a lot of fresh things from other areas. I heard that he drank them in his mouth."
The lightly scented ren tea, the extremely strong Shaodaozi wine in the belly, and some cigarettes that only the nobles could smoke, including these new rouge products, were all obtained by Tongzhilang from Qian Bao.
Come, I changed hands and sold it at a higher price. Tell me, how much is it worth?"
