Su Yunxi noticed the change in Zhao Shan's expression, thought that Zhao Shan was attracted, and praised him: "Young Master Zhao must be extremely talented if he can work under Lord Shen. So, why not give it a try?"
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask Miss Su to spend money."
Su Yunxi noticed that Zhao Shan's name for her had changed, and she even smiled in her heart.
If you have a close relationship, you can further win over 'Zhao Zilong'. By planting a chess piece next to Shen Yuanqing, she could plot against Shen Yuanqing at any time.
This is a value that cannot be measured by money.
Su Yunxi's eyes became softer and she persuaded: "Mr. Zhao, you and I are both business people, and businessmen should be bold and generous. Although I am a woman, I dare to act boldly and act resolutely. Mr. Zhao is coy, how can I look like this? Where are the women?”
Zhao Shan stopped holding it and nodded: "Then give it a try."
Su Yunxi said: "That's exactly what it should be."
She asked people to serve food and wine, and continued: "The theme of Baihualou's poetry conference has not been announced yet, so we have to wait for now."
"I went to Luoyang to do business. I don't understand many rules and many interpersonal relationships. I hope Mr. Zhao can give me some advice."
"It's all in the wine, I'll give you a drink."
She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Shan also drank a glass of wine. The alcohol content was not high, but it went into the throat softly and was not spicy at all. It was very delicious.
Even if the degree is low, Zhao Shan looks like Su Yunxi is probably a huge number of people.
Zhao Shan put down his wine glass, but his thoughts came alive. He stared at Su Yunxi and said, "Miss Su, tell me. When you came to Luoyang to do business, did you have any intention of going against the imperial court?"
Su Yunxi's heart moved.
Test?
Still doubtful?
It's normal to think about it. The people around Shen Yuanqing can't be too bad. It would be abnormal if 'Zhao Zilong' let down his guard and took the bait because of her few words.
Su Yunxi looked sincere and replied: "Mr. Zhao, Hefengtang has always operated with integrity. I have always believed in one truth, making money in the right way and doing business in the right way. This is the long-term solution."
Zhao Shan looked like he was letting down his guard and praised: "I trust Miss Su, so I made it clear in advance."
Su Yunxi said: "Master Zhao, please rest assured."
She changed the topic and asked again: "Master Zhao is following Master Shen. Have you met your Majesty?"
Shen Yuanqing stood aside, his cheeks twitching.
His Majesty?
The one in front of me is His Majesty.
Shen Yuanqing looked at his nose and heart with his eyes and nose, looking like an old monk in meditation. Anyway, he was a good follower.
Zhao Shan smiled and said, "I have met Your Majesty."
Su Yunxi's eyes were bright and she asked with some concern: "What kind of person is Your Majesty?"
Zhao Shan replied: "Your Majesty is handsome and handsome, and is both civil and military. In particular, your Majesty killed the Xianbei Commander, destroyed the Xiliang Snow Dragon Cavalry, and recently killed the Japanese Allied Forces, which is known to the whole world. Doesn't Miss Su know these news?" ?”
Su Yunxi smiled and said: "Of course I know. What I want to know is what is your Majesty's character like?"
Zhao Shan looked eager and replied: "Your Majesty has a gentle temperament, is approachable, and is more courteous to virtuous officers. I once spoke to Your Majesty, and His Majesty's earnest instructions are still ringing in my ears now."
Shen Yuanqing lowered his head and wanted to laugh.
Your Majesty!
Talking to yourself is really...
Instead, it was Su Yunxi, looking like a curious baby, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was the emperor.
Su Yunxi was also fascinated and praised: "Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful."
Zhao Shan continued: "His Majesty, the courtesy corporal, attaches great importance to talents. For example, our Lord Shen, as a businessman, serves as the Minister of Household Affairs."
"Your Majesty has no objection to women becoming officials. There is a female general in the army, Wei Fengqing, who is in charge of the Luoyang garrison. She can be called a hero among women."
"Miss Su has outstanding talents, and she is also a woman who is not inferior to men."
"If Miss Su is willing to join the court as an official, I will immediately report to Lord Shen and ask Lord Shen to inform His Majesty to arrange for your audience."
Zhao Shan asked: "Miss Su, are you willing?"
Su Yunxi's eyes turned. She also wanted to see what kind of person Zhao Shan was. But at present, Hefengtang must keep a low profile and not have too much to do with the emperor.
Otherwise, it will easily affect Hefengtang.
Su Yunxi shook his head and said: "I have just arrived at Hefengtang, and I haven't established myself yet. I have too many things to do with me, and I really can't get away from it. When everything is stable, I will ask Mr. Zhao to make arrangements."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "No problem."
He further probed: "Miss Su, Mr. Shen often said that His Majesty values merchants, saying that one cannot be rich without merchants, and merchants are the key link in the circulation of the world."
"His Majesty believes that the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for money, and business money only belongs to one of them. For this reason, His Majesty wants to set up a separate department, such as the Ministry of Commerce, or the Ministry of Commerce."
"Solely responsible for all things business."
"Such a department can connect with Hefengtang alone, or with bulk commercial shops such as medicinal materials, cloth and tea, to handle matters specifically."
Zhao Shan sighed: "Because there are too few people who understand it, it cannot operate. If Miss Su is willing, in my opinion, there will be another leader in the court."
hiss!
Su Yunxi took a breath.
Shocked in my heart!
She suddenly became very interested in the emperor, because the idea of the Ministry of Commerce moved her heart too much. The existence of a department dedicated to managing merchants proves the status of merchants.
Su Yunxi sighed: "Your Majesty is truly a wise king."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Miss Su, is she willing to become an official in the court like Master Shen?"
Su Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
She has too many things to do, and it is impossible for her to become an official in the court at present, and these are all what 'Zhao Zilong' said, not what the emperor meant.
Su Yunxi's ears suddenly twitched, and she heard the singing and dancing in the lobby gradually disappearing, and the madam of Baihualou was talking.
Su Yunxi changed the subject and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, the Baihualou poetry contest has begun."
Zhao Shan also looked through the window.
The madam stood on the stage, plump and enchanting, and said loudly: "This month is special, there is an extra Chinese Valentine's Day. During the Chinese Valentine's Day, we held a separate poetry conference."
“There was a lot of good poetry coming out at that time.”
"Today's poems are no longer specific Qixi Festival poems."
"In order to be different from Chinese Valentine's Day, and to make this month's poetry more lively, the Nu family thought of using 'Poetry to encourage drinking' as the theme."
The madam said loudly, "Those who have ideas and are willing to participate can submit their names and poems first. I will have all the names hung up for those present to place bets."
Wow! !
The hall of Baihua Building instantly became noisy.
Countless people were excited.
Zhao Shan saw this and felt that there was some negligence in the supervision of the brothel. It was not a neglect of the supervision of the brothel singers, but a neglect of the control of gambling.
In the poetry competition, the reward for the first place was three thousand taels of silver, which seemed like a lot, but compared with the gambling money, it was just a drop in the bucket.
This is the most brilliant place.
Make money with this!
At the same time, it stimulates the competitive spirit of the rich and stimulates the mentality of gamblers.
Zhao Shan kept the incident at Baihua Tower in mind and arranged for Zhang Xu to investigate after returning to the palace. Why didn't the official step in to preside over such a profitable thing?
Selection of poems was an elegant matter, which not only inspired more scholars to write poems and poems, but also made money.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
Su Yunxi saw Zhao Shan stunned and thought that Zhao Shan was thinking, so he quickly said: "Mr. Zhao, the madam announced that today's theme is poems to persuade people to drink. Does Mr. Zhao have any ideas?"
Zhao Shan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Then give it a try and ask Miss Su to prepare pen and ink."
Su Yunxi's wonderful eyes turned and she said with a smile: "I am Mr. Zhao's ink grinder."
She brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared in the room, laid out the pen and paper and polished the ink for Zhao Shan. When everything was ready, Su Yunxi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, please!"
Zhao Shan picked up his brush and dipped it in ink. After thinking for a while, he wrote the words "I will enter the wine".
"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return."
"Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening."
The heroic aura suddenly hit his face.
Su Yunxi read two lines of the poem, and her heart trembled. Her eyes fell on Zhao Shan, with a look of shock in her eyes.
