Thinking of this, Su Shi decided to tell Zhang Xi when he came tomorrow and let him inform Zhao Xi to wait and not mention this matter. Unexpectedly, at noon on the eighth day, when Zhang Xi came
He looked very excited, and then told Su Shi that the officials agreed.
Zhao Shifu, who was known as a child prodigy, entered the palace from the Imperial Academy to work as a chaperone for King Zhao Xi of Jing Dynasty. In order to show that he attached great importance to this matter, his father Zhao Congzhi's family was also transferred back to the capital from Wenzhou, and other official appointments were made in the three provinces.
It actually happened.
At this moment, Su Shi was a little surprised, but he soon figured out that it was not that Zhao Zhen disagreed, but that he deliberately delayed it for seven days in order to tell others that the emperor's heart was unpredictable.
Perhaps, if Zhao Xi hadn't pressed for questions every day, this time would have been extended. But no matter what, the matter finally came to pass, and Su Shi let go of his high-spiritedness. After this incident, he felt again
The power of the emperor knows what it means to accompany the king like a tiger.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of October, and the Chinese New Year is only one month away.
Zhao Shifu has entered the palace and became the companion of King Zhao Xi of Jing. Zhao Congzhi's family also left Wenzhou. It is estimated that it will take half a month to actually reach the capital.
During this period, apart from taking time out to communicate with Shangcangshan every day, Su Shi spent the rest of his time being his playboy.
Ren tea, burning knives, cigarettes and rouge business brought in a lot of money, enough for Su Shi to spend a lot of time and wine. Even Qu Dong'er, the top star of Meixiangyuan, also became familiar with Su Shi.
The businessman is different. At least he respects himself and never forces himself.
After learning about Su Shi's personality, Qu Dong'er would often invite Su Shi into his room to chat. Over time, the news spread in the capital that the biggest star in Bianliang City had fallen into Su Shi's arms.
The news once reached the palace. When Liang Huaiji found out, he happily told his master Zhao Huirou.
She originally thought that Zhao Huirou would be sad, but to her surprise, she shook her head very calmly, "Brother Su said that this Qu Dong'er has a good talent and is also a miserable person. He only has pity for her. Brother Su will not
What happened to her?"
It turned out that Su Shi had discussed Qu Dong'er's affairs with Zhao Xi and Zhao Huirou when he entered the palace before, so this time the complaint was in vain.
Su Shi naturally didn't know Liang Huaiji's hatred for him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
He was just a small chamberlain, and was really not taken seriously by Su Shi. Even if Liang Huaiji really wanted to do something, Zhao Huirou would take care of him immediately without him taking action.
Half a month later, Zhao Congzhi and his family were in a hurry and finally entered the capital. Also with them was the Liao envoy.
Whenever the New Year is approaching, the Liao Kingdom, as a brother country of the Song Dynasty, will send people to Beijing to congratulate them on the New Year. This has become a practice, at least the officials of Honglu Temple who greeted them did not feel anything.
inappropriate.
But no one expected that the arrival of the Liao delegation was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and stirring up Su Shi.
The sun was shining high, and although it was already winter, the weather was still warm. After taking a nap, Su Shi was ready to leave the house and go straight to Meixiangyuan.
But before Su Shi could leave the house, he saw a soft sedan quickly approaching him, escorted by several servants.
Su Shi's eyesight was very good, and he recognized the word "Miao" written on it from a distance.
It was the Miao family's soft sedan that came. After seeing Su Shi's carriage, the sedan stopped and Miao Xiu hurriedly walked out of the sedan. "Oh, brother Su, I finally found you."
Seeing Miao Xiu's anxious look, Su Shi in the wheelchair smiled and said, "Brother Miao, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Ah, brother Su, you don't know that the Liao delegation came to Beijing. Somehow, they found out about burning knives. Now they not only bought a few jars by force, but also heard that they were going to see
Officials should add burning knives to their annual coins."
Miao Xiu was really anxious, and without waiting for Su Shi to invite him into his house, he talked about what happened at the gate.
"The Liao envoy is interested in burning knives?"
Su Shi was not surprised when he heard this.
The land of Liao is mostly bitter and cold, so there are many people who like wine. And strong liquor like Shaodaozi can be said to be their favorite.
I didn't know before that even the burning knives in the capital had to be purchased in limited quantities, so it was naturally difficult for them to spread. But now that they had entered the capital and were lucky enough to see the burning knives, it would be strange if they didn't like them.
But what does this have to do with him?
It is true that the burning knife was taken out by himself, but it has been handed over to the Miao family for management, and King Jing Zhao Xi holds 10% of the shares, Princess Fukang Zhao Huirou holds 10%, and the Miao family holds 10%, in addition to
Paying 20% of the business tax, Su Shi would normally only get 50%.
In addition, Su Shi said to others that the price of burning knives was extremely expensive, so he only said that he actually earned less than 10%. So by telling the truth, others should be worried, and it would not be his turn.
What's the matter, your Miao family usually takes advantage of it, but now there is a problem, but you don't want to solve it, but you come to ask me what to do?
How could such a good thing happen in the world? After Su Shi heard about it, he naturally said calmly: "So this is what happened, but I don't know what the officials said?"
"The Liao envoy has not met with the official family yet, but I think the official family should already know about this matter, and they will tell me to enter the palace later. I came here this time not just to ask Brother Su for advice?
"
"Ask me for advice, I don't know anything." Su Shi spread his hands, showing that I have no real power, no high position, and can't do anything.
Seeing that Su Shi had misunderstood, Miao Xiulian immediately explained: "Brother Su, I came here just to ask, if we pay a high price, how much Shao Knife can we provide?"
Hearing that this was the problem, Su Shi felt confident, so he said with a bitter face: "Brother Miao, this is not a question of money, but that there is not that much output at all. How many burning knives do I have, but you still don't have them?"
Do you want to count them? They are all stored in another courtyard. Even if the purchase is restricted, they may not be able to be sold until next spring. You know this."
Hearing what Su Shi said, Miao Xiu also sighed and said: "I know, I know. But this time I came here just to ask, if I spend more money, can't I buy more?"
"No." Su Shi shook his head happily. He finally heard that Miao Xiu seemed to be ready to compromise with the Liao mission.
When asked if I can buy more, I should be prepared to prepare the Liao Kingdom's share.
It's just that there are many things that money can't do in the world. If there are really so many burning knives, there is no need to limit the purchase, and they will naturally be worthless. Su Shi knows this very well, so even though he now owns a lot of them
The faith points can also be exchanged for a lot of Liesha, but he just won't admit it.
Of course, if Miao Xiu must give the burnt knives to the Liao mission, it is not impossible. For example, he could just give the Liao mission his share of the burnt knives that were originally sold to the dignitaries in the capital every month.
It's just that in this way, it will become impossible for the dignitaries in the capital to drink to the point of burning their knives.
But what does this have to do with Su Shi? He only knows that if he burns a knife, he will come up with these amounts. As for the rest, it should be a problem that other beneficiaries should bear.
What Su Shi said was resolute and decisive, and when it fell into Miao Xiu's ears, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Originally, he didn't have much hope, because he thought that if Su Shi had more burning knives in his hand,
It will definitely be taken out. After all, who wouldn’t make money if they have money?
But he didn't know that Su Shi really had no money to make.
In other words, it’s not that he doesn’t make money, but that he doesn’t dare to make money.
With the current output, it's okay for him to make some money, but if he really takes out too much and makes too much, there will inevitably be jealous people. Su Shi doesn't like the feeling of being stared at. This is
The important reason why he doesn't take out too many burning knives.
Miao Xiu left with a disappointed look on his face.
Su Shi didn't pay too much attention to it. If Miao Xiu gave up the benefits, the officials agreed to give the burning knives to the Liao people, and even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also gave up the opportunity to drink strong wine, then there would be no choice but to
It means they have no backbone.
Facing a spineless person, what else can Su Shi say?
I hope that one day when they really can't drink it, they can scold the Liao people. It would be best if the blood in their hearts can be poured out. That would be the best thing.
The so-called weak Song Dynasty refers to the fact that there are very few truly bloody people in the court. Even if some real men occasionally pop up, are they still going to be suppressed and beaten in the general environment?
In wars, you have to lose money regardless of victory or defeat. This has almost become a habit since the Song Dynasty. In the two Song Dynasties, for more than three hundred years, there were only a few opportunities to really fight, and almost everyone was passively beaten.
It took a lot of effort to create Yue Wumu, but in the end he was destroyed by the gold medal.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart, and then Su Shi continued to drive towards Meixiangyuan in the carriage.
There is a Qu Dong'er in Meixiangyuan. She is good-looking and the most important thing is that she has a really good figure. Compared with those car models and professional models in later generations, their figure is considered weak.
Of course, what Su Shi coveted was not her figure, but her skills.
Yes, Qu Dong'er is a very artistic person, especially his singing voice is very nice. Thinking of Shangcang Mountain, it becomes silent very early at night, which is caused by the lack of entertainment. If Qu Dong'er can be made
If you go up the mountain, it will definitely enrich the people's entertainment life.
What is this called?
By the way, both spiritual and civilized construction are correct.
