After pondering for a long time, Su Zhou said slowly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess once told me that you are a genius in business. Although I don't know how to do business, I have to attack the prince's name in such a short period of time. Across all industries, it’s almost impossible.”
"That's right." Su Shi nodded and said, "I can never do it on my own, so I need someone to help me."
Su Zhou said: "The General's Mansion will naturally be your backing, but you also know that the General's Mansion can't help much."
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said: "I need money but no one, and I don't need people. I never thought about expecting my family to help, but there is one person who can definitely help."
"Your Highness, Third Princess?"
"Yes, that's her."
However, Su Zhou showed hesitation and said, "If Her Royal Highness the Third Princess helps, we will get twice the result with half the effort, but she may not be willing to help."
After all, what Su Shi had to deal with was the royal family's property, so she had no reason to help Su Shi.
Su Zhou thought for a while and said, "Unless I let her know the seriousness of the matter, maybe I can persuade her."
"Who's going to say it?"
Su Zhou glared at him: "Of course it's up to you to tell her. If you convince her, we'll naturally have to talk about business. I don't know anything about business, how can we talk about it?"
Su Shi nodded and said, "Very well. I still have some questions about the prince that I want to ask her, and I don't know if she can give me answers."
"A question about the prince?" Su Zhou couldn't help but ask, "What question?"
"I have never been able to figure it out. With such a noble status, the prince would think of doing business, and even do business in partnership with ministers from aristocratic families? Moreover, the prince is so capable that he cannot fail to see the drawbacks. Doing so is likely to make Daqian is in a state of despair."
Su Zhou was surprised: "Is it so serious?"
Su Shi sighed: "The collusion between officials and businessmen is enough to shake Dagan. Now Dagan is blatantly an integration of officials and businessmen. If this continues, the consequences will be far more serious than a foreign invasion. I believe this is not the prince's original intention, but I don't know why. This is what will happen."
Su Zhou remained silent because he didn't understand anything about doing business, let alone the pros and cons, so naturally he couldn't express his opinion.
Su Shi continued: "Compared to Zhou Jin, I actually want the support of another person."
"who?"
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty!"
Su Zhou couldn't help but want to touch Su Shi's forehead to see if he had a fever and whether his brain had been burned out.
He wanted to deal with the royal industry, and the biggest beneficiary of the royal industry was His Majesty. Now Su Shi actually wanted His Majesty to support him, which was equivalent to him planning to borrow a knife from His Majesty, and then use this knife to stab His Majesty several times.
If Su Shi dared to make this request to His Majesty, His Majesty would at least punish him with dozens of sticks, even if he did not push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi said melancholy at this time: "I wonder when I will have the opportunity to see Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Su Shi didn't just do it on a whim, but actually had such a plan, Su Zhou couldn't help but be extremely curious, because he knew that Su Shi must have a reason for daring to do this.
Could he really persuade His Majesty to stab himself several times with his own knife?
Su Zhou felt that his idea was too ridiculous, so he immediately shook his head to get rid of this unrealistic idea, and then said to Su Shi, "Actually, there is someone else who can help you?"
Su Shi asked with interest: "Who?"
"Master Qin. The Qin family is also an aristocratic family, and they also have properties in their name. However, Master Qin pays attention to keeping to himself, so he does not cooperate with the prince."
Su Shi became even more interested and asked, "What kind of business does the Qin family do?"
"Rice."
Su Shi asked again: "Which prince is doing this business?"
"The eldest prince."
Su Shi nodded and asked, "Since Mr. Qin wants to be alone, will he get involved?"
Su Zhou pondered: "If it was just a business dispute, I don't think Mr. Qin would get involved. But if he knew that it was about the fate of the country, I think he would definitely agree."
"Who's going to say it?"
Su Zhou couldn't help but glared at him again: "Master Qin will become your father-in-law soon, so naturally it is up to you to decide."
Su Shi thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's hold a banquet in the mansion tonight for the third princess and Master Qin, and tell the matter together so that I won't waste any more words."
Su Zhou nodded and said, "That's fine."
After saying that, Su Zhou went to order his servants to send the invitations, while Su Shi lazily returned to the bedroom and went to sleep.
Not long after, Su Shi was lying on a chair to rest. Although he seemed very leisurely, his brain was running rapidly. After a long time, his brain seemed to have not adapted to such high-intensity work, so he fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but Su Shi suddenly felt someone calling him loudly. He opened his sleepy eyes, and Lin Mo's dull face appeared in front of him, calling him anxiously.
Su Shi looked at the sky and saw that it was still early before Youshi. He couldn't help but frown and said, "It's still early, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Mo said hurriedly: "Second Young Master, get up quickly, Eunuch Hu is here."
At this time, Su Shi's brain was still starting up, and the data had not yet been completely loaded into the brain. He asked in confusion: "Eunuch Hu? Who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the data was loaded. Su Shi immediately remembered who Eunuch Hu was, and was surprised. He murmured, "What is this Eunuch Hu doing here at the General's Mansion when he is not serving His Majesty in the palace?"
Then he thought of a possibility, and his brows were filled with joy for a moment, and he couldn't help but smile.
As expected, Lin Mo replied: "Eunuch Hu, on the order of the emperor, brought the young master to the palace for an audience."
"Now?"
Lin Mo nodded.
Su Shi said hurriedly: "Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you take me there quickly?"
Lin Mo was not as happy as Su Shi, and he seemed a little worried.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the second young master is another...
Looking at Su Shi, Lin Mo fell into confusion because he really couldn't find a word to describe the second young master. He only knew that the second young master was very special and seemed to be very different from everyone he knew.
Lin Mo led the way, and Su Shi followed. When they came to the hall, Hu Cunyi was drinking tea leisurely.
Before entering the hall, Su Shi had already said with a smile: "It's my fault that I kept Eunuch Hu waiting for so long."
When Eunuch Hu saw Su Shi arriving, he slowly put down his tea cup and said, "Since Mr. Su is here, let's go with our family to the palace to see His Majesty."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Then it's time for Eunuch Lao. Brother Lin, prepare the carriage." Then he said to Hu Cunyi: "Eunuch Hu, please."
Hu Cunyi looked at Su Shi with great interest, because most of the people summoned by His Majesty at short notice were frightened and frightened. When they saw the eunuch announcing the decree, they would inevitably make innuendo or even bribe him with money, in order to understand His Majesty's thoughts and plan countermeasures.
But this Su Shi seemed a little overjoyed, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he couldn't help but said: "Master Su, does he know why your Majesty summoned you?"
Su Shi shook his head: "I don't know. But as long as I am summoned by His Majesty, I will be overjoyed."
