Now that the contract intention has been reached, both host and guest are naturally happy in the room, and people are drinking and drinking on the table.
Chang Muhua was already tipsy at this time. He picked up the wine glass, looked at Su Shi with squinted eyes, and asked, "What are your plans, Master?"
Su Shi said with a smile: "It's just a good time to drink and have fun, not talk about things. However, I will invite Mr. Chang to the General's Mansion tomorrow. I will tell you everything about my plan then, and I will also ask Mr. Chang to give me some advice." "
Chang Muhua waved his hands repeatedly and said sincerely: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Mr. Su's vision, skills and talents in doing business far surpass mine. How can I dare to ask for advice in front of Mr. Su?"
Although he has not actually cooperated with Su Shi yet, through the conversation with him, with Chang Muhua's eyesight, how could he fail to see Su Shi's outstanding ability in business.
Qin Zhidao said calmly from the side: "Since the wise nephew will gather together tomorrow to discuss future plans, our Qin Mansion will naturally send people to participate."
Su Shi smiled and said, "That's natural." Then he raised his glass to Qin Yue from afar and said, "Tomorrow I will greet Brother Qin Yue at my house."
Qin Yue hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "The worthy brother will decide everything. The foolish brother should be the one who follows the lead of the wise brother."
Now Qin Yue admired Su Shi very much. Not only was he talented, he was also good at business.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and were about to finish the drink when they heard Qin Zhidao say: "Yue'er doesn't need to go."
Su Shi and Qin Yue were slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Qin Zhidao.
Qin Zhidao stroked his beard and said slowly: "Nan'er will be responsible for the cooperation with the General's Mansion from now on, so Nan'er will come to the mansion tomorrow to discuss with my nephew."
Now not only Su Shi and Qin Yue were surprised, but also Qin Nan himself. She never expected that her father would ask her to be responsible for the cooperation between the Qin Mansion and the General Mansion.
However, after Qin Nan's accident, he couldn't help feeling happy again, but he didn't dare to look at Su Shi again.
Su Shi thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he smiled and said, "Then let Uncle Qin arrange everything."
Qin Yue still wanted to say something, but Qin Zhidao glared at him. Qin Yue shrank his head and did not dare to speak again, so he had to drink wine in a depressed manner.
Su Shi couldn't bear to see Qin Yue like this, and said, "Uncle Qin, I'm very short of manpower there. Why don't we ask Brother Qin to come with us tomorrow?"
Qin Zhidao shook his head: "Whatever you need him to do in the future, just say it. He will not participate in tomorrow's matter."
Seeing Qin Zhidao's resolute attitude, Su Shi could only look at Qin Yue helplessly, shrugged, and indicated that he had tried his best.
Although the matter had been settled, everyone had their own thoughts at this time, so after a few drinks, Chang Muhua and Su Shi said goodbye to Qin Zhidao. Qin Zhidao did not persuade them to stay and sent them out of the house personally.
After watching Chang Muhua leave, Su Shi was about to get in the car and leave. At this time, Qin Zhidao stopped him and said, "Does my nephew have anything important to do at this time?"
When Su Shi heard this, he immediately understood that Qin Zhidao had something to say to him, so he smiled and said, "I'm just an idle junior, so what's the important thing?"
Qin Zhidao said: "Since there is nothing important, the moonlight is very beautiful today, would you like to accompany me for a walk nearby?"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. I am honored to be able to listen to Uncle Qin's teachings."
Then he told Lin Mo: "You wait here, I will accompany Qin Shibo."
Lin Mo said hurriedly: "I will still follow the young master."
Su Shi knew that Qin Zhidao deliberately avoided everyone. Apart from what he wanted to say to himself, he also didn't want it to fall into other people's ears, so he said to Lin Mo, "Just stay here and wait for me to come back."
Lin Mo saw Su Shi's resolute attitude and his tone became tough, so he had no choice but to agree.
It was late at night and the moon was high.
The breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers hits people.
Qin Zhidao and Su Shi walked slowly along the river and saw a stone table beside the river and several stone benches around it.
Qin Zhidao said: "I'm a little tired, let's take a rest here."
Su Shi hurriedly replied: "Okay."
Then they used their sleeves to sweep away the dust on the stone bench, and then the two sat down.
After sitting down, Qin Zhidao said slowly: "The reason why I let Nan'er be responsible for the business is because Nan'er is smart and cautious, while Yue'er has an upright temperament, is loyal and honest, and what you are planning It’s too big, so Yue’er is not suitable to participate.”
At this point, he sighed again: "Of course, I have some small thoughts. I don't want Yue'er to be too involved in this matter. I wonder if my nephew can understand?"
Su Shi nodded silently and said, "Junior can understand."
Qin Zhidao said: "It's good if my nephew can understand."
At this time, Su Shi said again: "But Qin Shibo probably doesn't just want to tell this junior."
Under the moonlight, Qin Zhidao's expression suddenly became very serious. He stared at Su Shi and said seriously: "I heard from General Su Zhousu that my nephew is very confused about the current status of the integration of government and business in Daqian."
Su Shi was perked up after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "That's right. Throughout the history, every court has considered businessmen to be crafty people who seek profit without working, so they suppressed them to the maximum and even classified businessmen as lowly. . And why is this situation happening in Daqian now?"
Qin Zhidao was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Because of the prince."
Although this answer didn't surprise Su Shi, it made him feel very strange and couldn't figure it out at all.
"Why did the prince do such a shocking thing?"
Qin Zhidao said: "My dear nephew, does he know what was going on in Daqian when Your Majesty ascended the throne?"
Su Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
He was telling the truth, because he was only born in the first year of Qianxing. In the following ten years, Su Shi only knew how to indulge in pleasure, so how could he care about national affairs.
Qin Zhidao hesitated for a long time, and when he saw no one around, he sighed: "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, the national treasury was empty, and even the officials' salaries could not be paid, so that the people of the imperial court were unstable. There was another disaster year that year. Drought in the north, floods in the south, starvation and death all over the fields, it’s terrible to see.”
"It was also in this year that the Hu people in the north took advantage of the unstable situation in Daqian and invaded the border with 200,000 elite troops. If it weren't for your father, General Su, he would have defeated the greater number with less. In half a year, he would have won five battles and five victories, trying to keep the border secure. Losing him, I’m afraid Daqian’s life at that time would have been much more difficult.”
Seeing Qin Zhidao mention the past, including his father, Su Shi felt as if he was in another world.
How many years have you not seen your father? He should be nearly fifty this year, right?
Su Shi guessed that only then did he realize that his father's image was very vague in his mind, and that he didn't understand him at all.
He suddenly understood why his eldest brother was so eager to return to the border. He didn't want to achieve the story of father and son guarding the border together, but he really wanted to stay with his father.
But this was not the time for him to sigh, so he shook his head slightly and asked, "Then what?"
Qin Zhidao said slowly: "What should I do if my nephew encounters such a situation of internal and external troubles?"
This sentence made Su Shi stunned. He looked at Qin Zhidao blankly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
