Bianjing City is not far from the northwest. Shitou arrived at Dingchuan Village with a fast horse, and Sun Houpu also arrived.
Sun Houpu was in peace in Bianjing. Zhao Yunrang's shares in the Forbidden City meant that Prince Zhao Zongshi had shares in the Forbidden City. No matter how stupid he was, he would not dare to cause trouble for future officials.
From the moment he knew that Zhao Yunrang had shares in the Forbidden City, Zhao Zonge realized how big a game Liang Chuan was playing. If they really wanted to go to the Forbidden City, they would just renovate the restaurant. But Zhao Yunrang would have to remember this hatred for who knows how many years!
Liang Chuan called Sun Houpu and there were always only good things and no bad things. He knew this better than anyone else. Although the two of them had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel because of Zheng Ruoying in the early days, Zheng Ruoying did not like him anyway, and he had already given up on him. .
Shitou also knew Sun Houpu. The Sun family's strength in Qingyuan had long spread to the entire southeast. Although their family only engaged in the tea business, other families' businesses had to consume tea. Naturally, they had some involvement with their family. The Zheng family When doing business, you have to pay homage to this mountain.
Sun Houpu and Shi Shi were similar in age. Seeing his achievements in the business world, he could only follow him with a look of admiration, give his name, and learn a few tricks from him even though he looked familiar. Mode.
The business of the Zheng family in Xinghua was considered sloppy, and they could not be said to be as rich as the Sun family, but they were still very rich. Sun Houpu gave him a salute, and because of the relationship between Liang Chuan, he was the one who got together from now on. If you don’t look at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face, right?
Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu sat down and said: "I deceived you to go to Bianjing and took you through a lot of dangers, but I didn't make much money. Now I have an opportunity to become rich and wealthy. The opportunity is really rare, so I called you from Bianjing to this barren land."
Sun Houpu had already guessed the purpose of his visit, but he was just looking forward to what kind of wealth it would be. Now that Liang Chuan was serving in the army, and he was not in the arms business, what else could he do to help?
"I left the Sun family and set up my own business. Without the big trees to shade me, I still had my elder brother to lead the way and remove the thorns and weeds on the road for me. Although I didn't make any money when I walked around Bianjing City, the person who gave me a gift was already there. It is the greatest wealth in the world. Now there is no need for me to go to the mountains to send people gifts or to go to the Forbidden City to give me favors and wealth. I only have to respect Mr. Zhao, and now Bianjing City is also a master."
Liang Chuan was very satisfied and called Sun Houpu aside and said: "Master Zhao may lose power in the future, but he will rise again soon. Everyone in the world can kill the tree and disperse the hozen, but your Ye family can't. No matter how big the storm is, you can't." You must hold on to Mr. Zhao’s clothes tightly, this is the second fortune I will give you!”
Sun Houpu's heart trembled violently, and he whispered: "Is this...?"
Zhao Zongshi was a child who had a hard life. Although he was established as the prince, he lived in fear all his life. Zhao Zhen did not have a son at the moment, but he was in his prime. When Zhao Zongshi was the prince, he had another child in the harem, and the harem had a big belly. , Zhao Zongshi could only give up his position obediently. This is what Liang Chuan meant when he said the tree fell.
The unlucky Zhao Zhen did not wait until his child came of age, and the new prince would die in infancy. He had no choice but to make Zhao Zongshi the crown prince again, so he could not despise or even ignore Zhao Yunrang in any case because Zhao Zongshi was deposed.
The icing on the cake is never as good as the timely help. There are not that many discerning eyes in the world. Being able to spot Zhao Zongshi's rise to power once is already rare. Being able to spot Zhao Zongshi's comeback for the second time is simply a chance of being hit by a meteor. If you can really seize this kind of opportunity, Chances are, from now on, the Sun family will be the great benefactors of the official family, what else is it if it’s not wealth in the world!
Liang Chuan held down his words. Only the two of them could hear these conversations, and then pushed him back on the chair and said: "Don't ask, let alone doubt, I have a third fortune here, and this is what I can eat right now." Wealth in a bowl.”
Shitou listened to his whispers, and became anxious and said to the two of them: "Third brother, you are not kind. As the saying goes, everyone will make a fortune together. You summoned my servant to this barren land on the edge of the world. There is no one." Hard work also brings fatigue. If you eat meat, can you give me two mouthfuls of soup?"
The two of them looked at each other, and they felt comfortable with his innocent temper. As long as everything was done openly, it was easy for everyone to go straight to work. The two laughed, and Liang Chuan said: "Everyone has a share, but it depends on you." It’s up to you.”
Liang Chuan sat down on the case and said proudly: "In order to deal with the Western thieves, the imperial court adopted Mr. Xia's suggestion to contact Tubo in the south. In the past, trading with Tubo in private was considered a serious crime of smuggling. Now that there are official documents from the imperial court, trading with Tubo is a serious crime." It’s a national policy, we’re here to do it, and if we want to do it, we’ll do it big!”
Sun Houpu was shocked when he heard this.
Shitou didn't know the stakes: "The Tubo people don't want to deal with us, so will they buy our stuff?"
Sun Houpu said: "Brother, you don't know something. The two countries are fighting to the death, but the people down here still have to live. If the war is going to happen, you decide whether you want to eat the rice. To put it bluntly, with this national policy, there is no relationship between the two countries." We can lose face, and we can do things openly and openly that we did not dare to bring up before, and the court will not hold us accountable."
Liang Chuan said: "Tubo is different from the Western Bandits. Tubo is located on a plateau where nothing but green trees can grow. It can only raise yaks. Even a needle has to be exchanged for our Song Dynasty. They look at the Song Dynasty. My eyes are red with greed.”
One by one, Sun Houpu continued: "It's just that this business road is extremely difficult to open. The roads in and out of the Tubo people are blocked by the Dangxiang people. They can't get through even if they want to, right?"
Liang Chuan chuckled and said: "Do you still have to worry about this? How could your Sun family sell their goods to the north in the past? Now the Tubo people have the ability to deliver the goods to us. Previously, our own people in the Song Dynasty checked closely, no For example, there is a sea route in the southeast that is unstoppable. No matter how much transportation there is, the government does not have an official ship to patrol the sea. Now we are not going to attack our own people, you just wait!"
Sun Houpu blushed for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
Shitou glanced at Sun Houpu secretly and said nothing more.
Everyone was silent for a while in perfect agreement.
Sun Houpu said: "Then how can we ensure that the Tibetan people will only come to trade with us and not anyone else when this trade route is open?"
Liang Chuan's eyebrows jumped suddenly and he called Yelu Zhongguang over: "How is the Tibetan businessman we met in Qingyuan a few years ago doing now? I heard he made a lot of money!"
Yelu Chongguang didn't realize it for a moment. When did they meet some Tibetan businessman? Are there any of those birdies in Tubo who know how to do business? He looked at Liang Chuan blankly. Liang Chuan winked at him, and then he realized: "Oh, oh, I remember, little one!"
What kind of Tibetan businessman is that? Isn’t he the Tibetan spy who was caught in the cleanup of the hidden stakes planted by various forces in Qingyuan a few years ago?
After all these years, the boss is actually ready to put this villain to use!
Yelu Zhongguang looked at Liang Chuan with more and more admiration: "The Tibetan businessman didn't even bother to associate with us at first, but later he got the advantage and treated us more dearly than his own father. Over the years, he has made a lot of money with the convenience of our Qingyuan. We have piles of money and live a life more extravagant than their king. In the past few years, we have not asked them to help us run errands. It would be better if we don’t ask them. They wander around behind our butts in Qingyuan every day, and they just You know you can make a lot of money by following us!"
What Yelv Chongguang wanted to say in his heart was that they refused to listen to these Tibetan people when they tried to be tough. They talked about national justice every day, and then they kidnapped their families before they were willing to give in. Unexpectedly, the people of the Song Dynasty kidnapped them. He did not ask them to do anything detrimental to Tubo, but actually followed them, sending the best tea to Tubo every day, and smuggling the best silk and porcelain department stores to Tubo.
Over the past few years, these few Tubo people who were settled in Qingyuan had not been able to find a way to do business. Now, they have been promoted again and again by the King of Tubo. They receive countless rewards and commendations every year, and they attach great importance to his career. This Tubo spy also knew that the Song Dynasty had not benefited from him at all. On the contrary, all his glory and wealth were given by the merchants of the Song Dynasty. How could he give up his wealth and wealth and follow Yelu Zhongguang and the others every day? They have a good relationship. Incredibly.
"Then what is the name of the Tibetan merchant? I forgot?"
"Go back to my employer and call me Karma Gonpo."
"Yes, yes, it's him."
Shitou had been a guest at Zheng Ruoying's house several times since he returned to Fengshan. She asked about Liang Chuan's current situation several times and heard from her that Liang Chuan had followed some high-ranking official and was very popular in Bianjing City. It turned out that he was just a guest. She thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder and was just exaggerating. When she saw Liang Chuan today, she realized that as early as in Qingyuan, there were Tibetan businessmen who followed him because they saw that he was a rare commodity. She didn't even take him seriously. I just bought a boatload of rice. It seems that I have missed too many big businesses in these years!
"We are going to make use of the Karma Gongbu line now. Let's do this. Chongguang, please call this businessman to come to me. We are short of horses in the army right now, but they have a lot of horses. Buy some to equip our army."
Liang Chuan looked at Sun Houpu and Shitou, and said to them respectively: "Brother Pu, you will still sell your tea. Tea alone can bring countless profits to the Tubo people every year. You can go to Jingzhong yourself for tea introduction." It doesn’t matter if you move around and smuggle appropriately!”
Sun Houpu understood this and made a polite salute to Liang Chuan. If this road opens up his status, he can be on an equal footing with his old father. He will finally achieve success by setting up his own business.
"Shitou, you also have some medicinal materials, silk and porcelain. If you don't have them, go to Qingyuan and ask the Wu and Pu families to get them. They won't cooperate with you in telling me my name. Here is an IOU of two million yuan. You can keep it." , when will this money be recovered for me!"
Shitou was overjoyed and said: "Third brother, you are so loyal. You are so generous and give me such a big piece of meat!"
"Do it well. Although these things are not like tea, and the Tubo people can't live without tea, it is still a business that makes money every day. We are all in the imperial court's favor. This is a serious way of making money. The imperial court's We must cherish the benefits!"
Shitou took the two IOUs with trembling hands, rubbed his eyes, and made sure he saw correctly. Each one was worth one million taels. How could he not know that the Wu and Pu families were both from Qingyuan and Sun? The Zheng family is a big family with the same reputation, each monopolizing different industries. He, the Zheng family, usually runs their own small business, and has made a huge fortune!
"Forget it, if the two of them refuse to honor the two IOUs, you can go to Mr. Zhao of Zhizhou. I'm afraid I won't have time to go back to Qingyuan to collect the debt for you."
It is probably an anecdote for the ages that a state official wants to help a businessman settle a debt. These businessmen are worse than ants in the eyes of Zhao Weixian, the emperor. Who dares to charge him?
"It's not easy to litigate..."
Liang Chuan glared at him and said, "Who asked you to file a lawsuit? All you have to do is hand these two sheets to Mr. Zhao. You don't need to explain a word. He will get it for you!"
