Lin Shaoxuan didn't take the spring banquet of the Chunwang Mansion seriously, he just thought that everyone was eating and drinking together, and he knew a few second-generation officials in the capital by the way. Who knew that when he went to the stage to listen to the play, Zhao Cong came over sneakily.

"Brother Lin, come with me."

Lin Shaoxuan didn't feel like a good thing when he looked at him, so he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, and didn't get up.

Jiang Jinyu also turned her head to look at the movement when she heard the movement: "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, it's a good thing, can I still harm you in my own home?" Zhao Cong saw the two of them sitting and listening to the play and holding hands, and couldn't help laughing, "Borrow your brother for a while to ensure that you will be returned unscathed." ”

Jiang Jinyu was thin-skinned, and his face was red when he said it, and he quickly let go of his hand, and he pulled Lin Shaoxuan over.

"Brother Lin, my father wants to see you, you come with me quietly, don't alarm others."

Your father? Lord Chun? Lin Shaoxuan's heart suddenly sudden, nodded and stood up and slipped out with him.

"Your father can see him when he wants, why is he so mysterious?" Lin Shaoxuan was puzzled.

"It's a good thing anyway, you just come with me. My father is very busy, don't talk about you, even my own son can't be seen when he is idle, you wait and deal with it carefully, you have your own benefits. After Zhao Cong finished speaking, he handed him over to a small servant to lead, and he returned to the theater.

Lin Shaoxuan followed the little maid all the way inside, and he had no intention of admiring the flowers and spring willows in the garden of King Chun's mansion, so he only turned his mind a thousand times like lightning. The last time I came to visit, Prince Chun didn't even show his face at all, but today at the spring banquet, he asked his son to come to invite him on purpose, and he avoided people's eyes and ears like this, what is it for?

As a small businessman, what can make the prince look into his eyes? Is it for money? It shouldn't be, how can I make Prince Chun, who is above 10,000 people under one person, think about it? If it's not for money, then what's it for? Is it for the dynamite formula?

In just a quarter of an hour's journey, Lin Shaoxuan had countless thoughts in his heart. He made up his mind that if Prince Chun asked for money, he would give him a dividend of one or two percent, anyway, he had falsely reported the cost, and he had already taken the lion's share. After more than three years of operation, he already has another source of income. If someone wants a formula for explosives, you must not tell him that there are more stable and powerful explosives, otherwise I am afraid that my life will be lost.

Not long after Lin Shaoxuan got up and left the table, King An, the nemesis of Prince Chun, received a secret report.

"Lord Wang, Zhao Cong, the son of King Chun, held a spring banquet today, and in addition to those who are familiar with him on weekdays, there are two more Hangzhou people."

King An's white and chubby face became gloomy, and a pair of small eyes with a smile revealed a glimmer of light: "Oh? Hangzhou people? Which two? ”

"Lin Shaoxuan, the owner of Hangzhou Baoxiangzhai, and his companion Jiang Jinyu."

When King An heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "It's finally here!" Good! You immediately send a message to the Heavenly Enemy, saying that the person he was waiting for has arrived in the capital, and he can start to act. Remember, it doesn't matter how he wants to take revenge on the king, he is only allowed to use his own strength, and the king knows nothing about him. ”

"Yes! The villain went immediately. "The man in black was hidden in the shadows, and he disappeared without a trace.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of King An's mouth, which looked eerie and abrupt on that smiling Maitreya-like round face. He reached out and took a delicate stained glass cup, looked at it carefully for a long time, and threw the bowl on the floor of the study.

The beautiful glass cup snapped and shattered, but the smile on An Wang's face became deeper and deeper.

"Lin Shaoxuan, a lackey of King Chun. You can't lie on your stomach in Hangzhou, but you dare to run to the capital! Hahahaha, now I see how you can collect money for that old slave! ”

Lin Shaoxuan didn't know that someone compared him to a dog, he followed the little guy all the way through the flowers and willows, he couldn't remember the path for a long time, and finally came to a well-guarded courtyard after a quarter of an hour. The little servant stood still in front of the door, and made a notice inside, and a short time later, a guard in a strong suit came out.

The guard's eyes looked at him from head to toe like a scanner, and with a single stretch of his hand, he untied the soft sword he had pretended to be a belt. Lin Shaoxuan didn't dare to stop it, don't let people be assassins and take it, it would be miserable. These high-ranking officials are afraid of death, and they are not easy to serve!

"Lin Gongzi, please!" The guard handed his soft sword to the servant who was waiting at the door, and then led the way in front of him and led him to King Chun's study.

Lin Shaoxuan followed the rules all the way, and didn't say a word. People are under the low eaves, he doesn't dare to move no matter how demonic he is, who is Prince Chun? Except for the emperor, he is the biggest, and sometimes even the emperor has to listen to him. Let's be honest, don't be killed by someone else's random charge.

The guard stood outside the door and replied loudly: "Back to the prince, Lin Shaoxuan brought it." ”

Lin Shaoxuan held his breath and condensed, and heard a majestic voice coming from inside: "Please let him in." ”

The guard pushed open the door and pleaded, but he didn't go in. Lin Shaoxuan nodded politely at him, and then walked into the study of the powerful Prince Chun.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous, but not necessarily how nervous he was. On the way, he had already thought about it, except for money and technology, he really didn't have anything else worth worrying about.

It can be seen from King Chun's previous attitude towards him that this prince is not an unreasonable person, on the contrary, people pay attention to the exchange of interests. King Chun took great pains to quietly call him over, definitely not for greetings, he will give him whatever he wants, such a big prince will definitely not get the benefits of others in vain.

Lin Shaoxuan made up his mind, and his attitude was very calm. After he entered the door, he took a look and saw a thin and tall middle-aged man sitting behind a large desk, his face was five or six points similar to that of the little prince Zhao Cong, but it was more resolute and majestic, and he knew that this must be King Chun.

"The villain Lin Shaoxuan has seen the prince." Lin Shaoxuan didn't dare to hold it up, knelt down and saluted in accordance with the rules, so he heard King Chun hum and said again: "No courtesy, sit." ”

Lin Shaoxuan stood up, saw a few circle chairs on the side, and hurriedly picked the most inconspicuous place to sit, and a small servant brought him a cup of tea.

"West Lake Longjing, just to entertain you." King Chun put down his pen, cleaned his hands with a hand towel, picked up the teacup himself, and took the opportunity to look at Lin Shaoxuan carefully.

Regarding Lin Shaoxuan's matter, he had already ordered his subordinates to investigate and understand clearly. He knows all about how this person bought a shop, a house, and a land little by little, how he built Baoxiangzhai step by step, how he built a academy and a women's school, and how he promoted wheat, cotton planting and cotton spinning in Hangzhou over the years, and even took most of Hangzhou into his pocket. Even King Chun, who was infatuated with Jiang Jinyu and did not hesitate to wear women's clothes to marry him, also found out clearly.

In the eyes of King Chun, Lin Shaoxuan is a little clever and lucky. However, this gentleman is very sensible, and he is not proud of his pampering when he does things, and he has not given one or two less money every year, and every time he asks for his own affairs, he has something to exchange.

This is a rich, capable, obedient and sensible Jiangnan tycoon full of shortcomings.

Lin Shaoxuan sat in a proper manner, King Chun didn't speak, he didn't open his mouth first, and when King Chun looked enough and nodded with satisfaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's too much pressure! I really don't know what tricks this master is going to play.

King Chun's time is very precious, how can he waste it on him. After looking at it enough, I opened my mouth and went straight to the point.

"I heard that you brought more than 30 students to Beijing to take the exam this time?"

"Yes. The villain's brother ran a family school, and made some small achievements, they are all scholars, and they haven't been far away, so I simply came with them. Lin Shaoxuan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he only answered cautiously and truthfully.

"Well, you did a good job, and the emperor also praised Hangzhou Yixue. If this group of students can pass a few jinshi, Jiang Langjiang's official position will definitely be able to rise one more level. Although King Chun praised him, he couldn't hear any emotion in his voice.

"It's all up to the prince to bother, I thanked the prince on behalf of Jinyu." Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly got up and thanked him.

"Sit." King Chun waved his hand and turned the topic to Lin Shaoxuan, "This matter was done by the two of you together, what reward do you want?" ”

I? Lin Shaoxuan was stunned. Even if all of my dozens of students pass the exam, it won't be of much help to King Chun's power in the court, how can he remember to ask me what I want?

Lin Shaoxuan was suspicious in his heart, but he said beautiful words: "The villain is just a businessman, it is enough to be able to do some business in peace, how dare you expect any reward." ”

"So you like to do business?"

"Yes, the little man is not a martial artist, and he has no other skills, so he likes to earn some silver and enjoy the wind and snow." Lin Shaoxuan still answered carefully.

King Chun didn't answer his words, but suddenly asked, "How many assets do you have now?" ”

What? How many assets, you ask? What exactly do you want?

Lin Shaoxuan's heart was shocked. In recent years, he has not only operated Baoxiangzhai and glass mills, but also monopolized the cotton textile industry around Hangzhou by relying on advanced technology.

The power is at the head, and of course he does not dare to tell the truth. Lin Shaoxuan pretended to fold his fingers and counted for a long time, and said in the future: "I'm afraid it's worth a thousand or eight million." ”

This figure is not nonsense, it is also well-founded. In the past three years, he has paid a total of more than 5 million taels of silver to King Chun's mansion, and provided the production method of flower dew and stained glass.

Hearing him say that there were 10 million taels of silver, King Chun's hands couldn't help but clench heavily.

Good! I am in dire need of silver taels now, and I have this boy's wealth enough for me to accomplish great things!
