The housekeeper Su Hu followed behind him step by step. He knew the master's habits best. At this time, he was trying his best to catch up with the master, and finally caught up with Su Xun in front of Guochanglong's store.
He said to Zhu Yun and Fan Bai who were standing there with smiles on their faces: "My Mr. Su would like to meet with the principal to talk about becoming a Gold Member. I would also like to inform you. Thank you very much."
"Wow! Did you hear that right? You are actually a Gold Member, so you have to pay five million silver at a time." Because of Su Hu's words, the crowd immediately exploded, and there was a lot of discussion.
It boils up.
Su Xun didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction at this time. Wherever he appeared, his actions always caused other people to scream. He had long been accustomed to it. At this time, he was coming
In front of the main store, I was staring at the portrait of the eldest princess.
With Su Xun's identity, he naturally knew the eldest princess. In fact, gold and silver jewelry made by the Su family are now sold in major stores in Guochanglong. The two parties have cooperated and met many times. But this
This was the first time Su Xun went to see the eldest princess so seriously.
After all, men and women have different ideas, and the identity of the eldest princess is displayed there. Anyone who sees her can't help but stare at her, but this portrait is here, you can look at it however you want, it seems
It also allowed Su Xun to get to know the eldest princess more clearly.
"Not bad, not bad, vivid, very similar." Su Xun gently stroked the beard on his chin, and was very satisfied. Only when he actually saw this portrait did he know that the rumors in the market were not exaggerated, but the description was not exciting enough.
, at this time, he really wanted to get to know Shen Ao who was painting.
When the words of housekeeper Su Hu fell on Zhu Yun and Fan Bai, they did not dare to neglect them. Fan Bai was left behind to continue greeting the guests, while Zhu Yun quickly turned around and went to the inner courtyard to inform the eldest princess.
The important thing is to inform Shen Ao.
In the workshop, Shen Ao was taking Hu De and several other great workers to study a piece of quartz stone.
Quartz is a mineral that easily becomes liquid when exposed to heat or pressure. It is also a very common rock-forming mineral and is found in the three major types of rocks. Because it crystallizes last among igneous rocks, it usually lacks complete crystal faces.
Most of them are filled in the middle of other rock-forming minerals that crystallized first.
Shen Ao bought this in the mall because it had little value at the time. Even if he encountered it, no one would pay much attention to it. This was the only one he saw in the entire mall, so he was probably the seller.
I took this thing out out of curiosity and wanted to give it a try to see if anyone knows the stuff.
Shen Ao knew very well that quartz stone was one of the important components for making glass. After seeing this quartz stone, he bought it back. While decomposing it, he also arranged for Guo Changlong to use his own channels to
Quartz stones are purchased from various places.
The decomposition process was not smooth. Without sufficient mechanical conditions, it was all done by hand. This was a process that required slow exploration. Even though Shen Ao had a lot of experience, he felt like he was not using any effort at this time.
Fortunately, having quartz stone is already the first step. I believe that as long as there is enough time, the decomposition work will be successful. After the quartz sand is made, it will be melted with natural soda to make various ratios.
experiment of.
"Slow down, don't be anxious, we have time." Considering that he only had this piece of quartz stone in his hands at the moment, Shen Ao repeatedly told the workers to pay attention to the proportions of work, for fear that without the test product, the research would have to stop. .Shen Ao, who was busy, saw Zhuyun hurriedly walking towards the workshop.
The workshop is a grand place of national prosperity, and even the eldest princess will not easily enter without permission. Zhuyun is just a female official next to her, and she broke in without any order. Needless to say, she must be very anxious. matter.
Zhuyun walked into the workshop without squinting her eyes. She also knew that entering without orders was a bit reckless. At this time, he was telling Shen Ao in this way that she had no intention of observing the secrets here, which was really true. Urgent matters are urgent.
"Mr. Su Xunsu is here. He wants to see Duke Zhongguo by name. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess invites you to come over." Zhuyun said with a somewhat humble attitude. It is said that she is the female official next to the eldest princess. Although her rank is not high, she has hidden power. But she was very big, and she really didn't care about a prince with no real power. But the company commander's princess was extremely polite to Shen Ao, so she had to pay attention to her attitude.
"Huh? Let's go." Shen Ao was just stunned for a moment, and he understood Zhuyun's intentions. He turned around and ordered Hu De and others to continue their research. They must be careful and do not act too hastily. He turned around and followed Zhu Yun's footsteps.
Along the way, Shen Ao already had a general idea in his mind about the person he was going to meet next.
Thanks to Concubine Zhao, Shen Ao has a better understanding of the Qian Dynasty. The Zhao family is also one of the wealthy families. Although they are not at the top of the pyramid, they still have a lot of knowledge. Su Xun's identity is One of the key characters is introduced.
According to Concubine Zhao, this Su Xun is an old man who is knowledgeable, broad-minded, visionary, and has the overall vision and ability. It is under his leadership that the Su family is winning step by step. Eventually he became one of the most influential wealthy families in the Daqian Dynasty.
The wealthy family is a huge organization that is independent of the big cadre system. They usually control something that the big cadre needs, so as to achieve a near-monopoly position to control the market and increase their influence. This way When a wealthy family becomes big, the court often needs to show courtesy. Otherwise, if you offend them, there will be chaos in the market, which will lead to chaos in the security of the entire dynasty. If not done well, it will affect the country and the country.
Just like He Nianfeng's He family, they control most of the grain trading in the Daqian Dynasty. Once they want to cause trouble, grain prices will fluctuate greatly, which will directly affect the lives of the people and the public security and stability of Daqian. .
Su Xun's Su family is one of such wealthy families and is among the top.
The only difference is that they are in charge of gold and silver jewelry. But they should not be underestimated because of this. Once the Su family gets into trouble, a large amount of gold and silver will flow into the market, which will directly affect the stability of the currency, causing inflation and triggering Civil strife is not impossible. Of course, if this must be done, the Su family will suffer great losses, so unless they are forced into a corner, they will not choose this lose-lose approach.
Regardless of whether things will happen or not, at least these words of Concubine Zhao told Shen Ao one truth, that is, wealthy families cannot be bullied or humiliated, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Even knowing this, Shen Ao would certainly not neglect Su Xun's arrival. When Zhu Yun appeared in the inner courtyard, he saw the half-hundred-year-old man who was still full of energy even though he had white hair on his head. , Shen Ao stood there, clasping his fists and saluting respectfully: "Junior Shen Ao has met Mr. Su."
As soon as Shen Ao appeared in the inner courtyard, Su Xun noticed him. Shen Ao, who was wearing a blue and green robe and had a sense of clarity and purity, gave him a good first impression. In addition, the other party's hair was also The respectful attitude from the bottom of his heart made him very satisfied.
With Su Xun's current status, there are often some juniors who come to see him under the leadership of his family, but they usually behave either timidly or fearfully, or arrogant and ignorant. Like Shen Ao, he is respectful and sincere, but also polite in his speech. It is very rare to be generous. Especially when Shen Ao looked straight at him after saluting, he was so clear and clean, without any utilitarianism, that Su Xun admired him endlessly.
What he saw in this look was not excitement, excitement, desire and longing, but the sincerity of treating others as equals. Su Xun even had a feeling that the person in front of him was not a fifteen-year-old boy, but a A mature man who has seen through the world and experienced hardships and trials, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is about the same age as himself.
"I have also met Duke Zhongguo." With a smile and appreciation on his face, Su Xun also bowed slightly and bowed.
After all, Shen Ao is also a hereditary loyal prince. No matter how powerful Su Xun is, he does not have any official status. It is normal for him to bow to Shen Ao when he sees him.
The eldest princess sat aside and looked at everything with a smile. She originally thought that Shen Ao was young and would be unruly. If she accidentally offended Su Xun, she would have to smooth things over. After all, judging from past experience , Shen Ao lacks a certain amount of humility when facing herself, but just because she can endure it doesn't mean that others won't care.
Fortunately, Shen Ao performed well. He was humble and courteous, which showed the respect of the younger generation for the elders, but did not appear to be groveling at all. It was considered a perfect performance. How did she know that Shen Ao was so proud? In his heart, he always values courtesy first and then attack with others, especially those who have real ability, he is sincere in dealing with them.
Needless to say, Su Xun is a very capable person in his eyes. Of course, if Su Xun looks like his nostrils are turned upward, then I'm sorry, Shen Ao doesn't care how capable you are or how much property you have. If you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of him, then you can go as far as your thoughts go, going back and forth wherever you go to keep cool.
When they met for the first time, both sides had a good impression, so the conversation could go on smoothly. First, Su Xun sighed, and everything about Shen Ao's vigor and youth was formidable.
In response to the kindness unleashed by Su Xun, Shen Ao also used the old method to respond, causing Su Xun to laugh.
The conversation was very pleasant. After a while, Su Xun finally made a request and asked Shen Ao if he could draw a portrait for him. Of course, he would not break the rules and would apply for a gold card. Yinzi had already sent someone to ask for it. It was delivered here. And if there are more poems to mention, he can also consider directly applying for the Supreme Card.
