Chapter 146: Rich Merchant
Speaking of his brother, the third princess is really happy, although Zhao Hongbo was born to his aunt, but because his aunt is long gone, Zhao Hongbo has been raised under his mother's knees since he was a child, and there is no difference between the two and his brother and sister.
……
Zhenguo General's Mansion.
As soon as the seventh prince arrived at the general's mansion, he was called to the study by General Xia.
Since the last time the study caught fire and caused him to lose a large amount of silver, General Xia's face has not looked good, and the Seventh Prince is also a little weak in the face of his own uncle and father-in-law because of that incident, after all, if he wasn't careless, he wouldn't have been caught, so that he would have caused such a big loss.
"Last time, General Ben checked for so long, but he didn't find anything, and there were no clues at all.
So, you must be cautious and cautious in doing things in the future, I suspect they are still staring at you. ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't mess around.
Military Spending ......"
There was some hesitation in the words of the seventh prince, and now for him, the 50,000 private troops raised by his uncle are his biggest reliance, and military expenses are absolutely indispensable.
General Xia said: "I'm a little nervous, but I can still deal with it."
There is money in the public that can be used first, but it won't last long! ”
The generals are not short of silver, but the premise is that there must be a war, and the Daxing Dynasty has been peaceful and peaceful for so many years, even if there is a war, it is only a small battle, and it is not General Xia's turn at all.
Therefore, the loss of nearly two million taels of silver last time really stretched him a little stretched.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince pondered: "A few years ago, a wealthy businessman surnamed Su in Jiangnan sent me a prayer post, he wanted to come to the capital to do business, but there was no way, at that time, I was afraid that something would happen, so I pushed it directly. Uncle might as well let my cousin get in touch. ”
In fact, it was just to find a backer, he was having a headache at the time, how could he have the heart to deal with a businessman.
There is no one in the Xia family who knows how to do business, and it would be a good thing if someone under the door was good at business.
General Xia is really a little tempted, their Xia family is not without shops, but the Xia family also has hundreds of people to support, and the annual expenses are very large, and they can't take out the spare money to support those soldiers.
If someone can help make money, and all he has to do is to be a backer for the other party, this business is still very cost-effective.
So the uncle and nephew discussed it and decided the matter.
……
In the courtyard of the Sanjin mansion somewhere in the capital, Su Long, a wealthy merchant in the mouth of the Seven Princes, was sitting in the hall drinking tea, he was slightly fat, his whole face was full of meat, he couldn't even see his eyes when he smiled, and a purple robe on him inexplicably added a sense of joy.
Opposite him sat a slender man, with a cold face and mediocre features, but there was a pride in his body, and the gray robe on his body gave people a feeling of being unapproachable.
"Sir, are you sure that the Xia family will send someone to meet me?"
The man who was called Mr. didn't raise his head, picked up a white chess piece and landed on the chessboard, "At most, the Xia family will definitely send someone to deliver a post to Boss Su, you just have to wait." ”
As the words fell, he picked up another sunspot and placed it on the chessboard on the table.
Su Long was satisfied, and he said with a smile: "This time it is done, the contemptible person will definitely be a big gift, and I will have more help from Mr. in the future." ”
The man said: "The matter of the food king's loyalty to the king, Boss Su is polite." ”
Su Long glanced at the chessboard on the table, and then looked at Mr. Mo who was playing chess with him, and sighed in his heart, a master is a master!
"Sir, don't you get bored playing chess with yourself every day?"
Mr. Mo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Long, "I don't think so, besides, Boss Su will be busy soon." "Boss Su doesn't care if he's bored when he's busy.
Su Long is coming to the capital to take root, and being busy is what he wants, and he immediately laughed.
"I hope to borrow the good words of Mr.
"By the way, Mr. doesn't even have a person around him who knows hot and cold, so I'll arrange two more maids for you."
Mr. Mo raised his eyes and said, "I have a little guy by my side, so I don't need to be a girl." ”
The tone was a little cold, and Su Long was not stupid, so he naturally felt it, so he immediately dispelled the idea of stuffing people next to Mr.
The Su family has a lot of roots in Jiangnan and is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, but because the head of the Su family is old, the battle for the heir is put on the surface, and the old family owner assigns tasks to his three sons, and whoever can stand out within a year will hand over the Su family to them.
After Su Long got the task, he immediately thought of the development of the capital, and met Mr. Mo after coming to Beijing, and the two talked very happily, Su Long was more familiar with the business field, but how to find a backer in the capital to gain a firm foothold He had no idea where to start, which gave Mr. Mo room to play.
If you want to gain a foothold in the capital, you have to hit a strong backer, Mr. Mo gave him an analysis, and finally he chose the Seven Princes, the son of the noble concubine, and his uncle's family is the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the kind that is in charge of the army, which is enough for Su Long.
So there was the delivery post a year ago.
Although the post was rejected, Su Long was not in a hurry at all, because Mr. Mo told him that if something happened to the Internal Affairs Office, the Seventh Prince would definitely keep a low profile for a while, and if he didn't see it, it didn't mean that others wouldn't see him, just let him wait.
So Su Long settled in the capital in peace.
The reason why Mr. Mo dared to be so sure that General Xia would meet Su Long within three days was because he got the news that the general's study was on fire a few years ago.
Even if the subordinates of the General's Mansion were strict enough, some news came out, and it was said that all the silver tickets of General Xia Da were burned.
If those who lack money and do not know how to do business, should they find someone who can do business to earn money for them?
It was just right for Su Long to come out at this time......
……
The fifth princess returned to the palace early, she didn't expect the prince to come back with her sister today, as soon as she saw the stinky man of the prince Ye Moxuan, she began to swish out of the cold air, she simply went back to the palace without even eating lunch.
Looking at the stinky man sitting next to him and drinking tea, the fifth princess only felt that it was an eyesore, and she wished that he would disappear in front of her eyes immediately, "Won't you go to the backyard to see your women?" ”
She was really a little curious, Ye Moxuan hadn't been in the backyard for a long time, and several big palace maids in the study in the front yard had also been sent away, and he had lived a monk-like life at a young age, and she didn't feel normal when she looked at him now.
Ye Moxuan's action of skimming the tea foam in his hand was a meal, "What do they have to look at?" Well, I know that you are uncomfortable because you came back early, so it's a big deal that you will find time to accompany you back next time. ”
Although he didn't want to go to the Feng Mansion at all, the old thing in the Feng family clearly supported the prince, and every time he saw the old thing flattering the prince, he wanted to punch him twice and knock him away.
