"Poof!" Why is it still so bitter, Li Zhang thought helplessly in his heart, and finally knew that there was indeed a problem with the tea. But then he thought of what Su Shi said just now, and instantly looked at the other party with wide eyes and asked, "Brother Su, what did you just say?" Our tea? ”

"Yes, our tea." Su Shi nodded confidently and continued: "It's not a secret, the little brother is not talented, and after negotiation, he has already negotiated with Qian Bao as an agent." Oh, the agent is that all his goods will be shipped by me in the future, and this tea is one of them. Hehe, speaking of which, this tea is also a new product, outsiders don't know, Brother Li and I are the first people to taste this new tea, hehehe. ”

Su Shizuo was laughing there, but Lou Yang, who was standing behind him, was holding back a smile in his heart.

What were the first people?

Lou Yang, Dragon and Tiger Brothers, Lone Wolf, Zhang Miaoshou, Clay Man Zhang, etc., they have already started drinking this kind of tea when they left Yingchang Mansion.

It's just that they just felt delicious at that time, far less surprised than Li Zhang. Maybe they don't usually drink much tea and don't know the value of this thing.

"The first batch? Haha, okay. Li Zhang also laughed when he heard this, thinking in his heart that he knew Qian Bao, and he had asked Li Tang to have a good relationship with him before, just so that when he needed anything in the future, at least he could buy those rare goods with his own money.

The reason why I just thought of this is that it has something to do with the family motto of the Li family, that is, they never bully others, and they will not rob other people's things, which makes them have a high status among the nobles of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are naturally respected by everyone.

But who would have thought that this inconspicuous young man in white would be able to take Qian Bao and the channel for all his goods?

Of course, Li Zhang said in his heart that it was impossible not to envy it. But that's all, this is not their own wealth, they must be forced, who knows what the result will be?

Li Zhang wouldn't ask Su Shi how he did this, presumably he must have his own means. In short, if it is done, it is done, and that is the ability of others.

Li Zhang's real interest is still this sentence, "Our tea." ”

"Brother Su, I have drunk the tea, it is indeed very good, very good. Then you might as well just say what a charter. "Li Zhang is a military general, and he pays attention to speaking and doing things quickly.

"Brother Li is happy. Even so, I'll be blunt. I want to cooperate with you, you don't have to pay a penny of principal, but you enjoy a benefit of 10%. ”

As soon as Su Shi said this, Li Zhang wanted to say something.

"Brother Li, listen to me first. I know Brother Li's personality, and I also know your Li family's family motto, and I will not take advantage of others. But don't think you're giving nothing. To be honest, once such a good thing enters the market, it will inevitably be targeted by others, and even meet some ambitious people, and it is possible to take possession of it. And if you really want to do nothing like this, you will take advantage of it, then you need Brother Li to come forward. ”

"So from this point of view alone, Brother Li just took one percent and it is not much at all."

"As for only giving Brother Li one percent, there is really no way to do it. This tea is very good, but the cost is also very high, more importantly, tea can only be operated by the imperial court, we want to intervene we need to pay more taxes, and at the same time to persuade the official family, and give two percent of it to the official family, in this way, in addition to the transportation of goods, including the cost of buying a shop to hire labor, I myself will get about one percent, or even less. So there is only one percent that can be given, and please Brother Li not to be too little. ”

The more Li Zhang listened, the more his eyes widened.

He can understand that he is paying protection money, and he is willing to pay in exchange for benefits. But what he didn't expect was that Su Shi would have to give the official family 20%, which... Will this official accept it?

"The official agreed?" Li Zhang really couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but ask more.

"Not yet, but as long as Brother Li agrees, I will enter the palace to see the official family later, and I am sure that I can convince the official family." Su Shi smiled, very confident.

If Su Shi didn't have such confidence before, since the moment he handed over the report of unqualified buildings and excessive lead use in the palace to Zhao Zhen, Su Shi had enough confidence.

Does it take money to rebuild the palace, or does it take a lot of money.

According to Renzong's principle of doing things, he will not take money from the treasury for such things, nor will he take more taxes from the people, he will only find a way to withdraw from the internal treasury. But this is the reconstruction of the palace, it is impossible to have so much surplus money in the inner treasury, and at this time, Su Shi sent 20% of the profits, which is to send charcoal in the snow, so there is no reason not to accept it.

Seeing that Su Shi was so confident, Li Zhang's original hesitant heart became firm, "Okay, if Brother Su can persuade the official family to accept all this, then Yicheng, our Li family wants it." ’

This is not just that the Li family asked for such a simple thing, but Li Zhang is here to explain one thing. That's anything about tea, they Li Jiabao.

Su Shi was waiting for this sentence, and immediately arched his hand solemnly and said, "So, thank you Brother Li for making it complete." In this way, I will go to the palace now, and ask Brother Li to wait for my good news. ”

"Okay, I'll take you in." Li Zhang responded happily.

......

When I got up early in the morning, Yan Wuwu ordered someone to inquire about Su Shi's house.

It's just a little Tong Zhilang, even if he is optimistic about King Jing's illness, it will not be in his eyes, or it will not be in the eyes of Zhao Yunrang, the great sect.

Over the years, relying on himself being one of Zhao Yunrang's most trusted people, there are very few people who will be regarded by Yan Wuself, and his personality and name are really extremely similar - selfless.

Yan Wui is confident, at most he will add some money, and that Tong Zhilang will definitely agree.

He doesn't say yes, he has to say yes.

If he dares not to agree, then he will make it difficult for this Tong Naolang to move in the capital.

What if you have an official status?

In the eyes of the people, it may be a high-ranking existence, but in the eyes of people like them, who are really high-minded, it is still nothing. At most, it's just a bigger ant.

Zhao Yunrang's minions were everywhere, and he soon inquired about the land of Sufu. When he heard the report from his subordinates that it was this two-entry three-courtyard house or Qian Baotuo's relationship to get it, he sneered: "I didn't expect you to come into contact so early." But so what, in the face of absolute power, they can be separated from their father and son.

"Let's go, let's go to this Tongzhilang Mansion to have a look." With a smug smile on his face, which was also a victor's smile, Yan Wuwu led people and went straight to the mansion of Jiuzhou Qiaosu Mansion.

With the mood of ambition, Yan Wuwu came to the outside of Su's house, and when he reported his name, he got an unsatisfactory result, that is, Tong Zhilang went out early in the morning.

"Out of the house? Are you sure it's not hiding from us? Yan Wuwu, who was sitting in the soft sedan chair, asked his subordinates with some disbelief.

"Master housekeeper, we have inquired about the neighbors, and Su Shi did go out early in the morning." The subordinate replied doggedly.

"I see, that's the case, then let's work hard and wait for him here." Yan Wuwu said indifferently, anyway, the day is still early, and he is confident that he will definitely take Su Shi today and return with a full load.

At this time, Su Shi didn't know that Yan Wuwu had gone to his house, and now he had already taken the official sticker into the palace.

Originally, as Su Shi's identity as a six-pin-tong straight lang, it would be a little difficult to enter the palace. But this time, with Li Zhang's help, it was naturally much easier.

After Xiao Huangmen learned about Su Men's arrival, he reported it to his ancestor Zhang Mao.

Hearing that Su Shi was coming, Zhang Mao was also a little curious, he didn't hear which nobleman in the palace was in poor health, this Su Shi had only left the palace for two days, why did he come back?

"Ancestor, Tong Naolang said that he sent your things." Xiao Huangmen seemed to be a little hesitant when he saw Zhang Mao, so he reminded him in a whisper.

It is said that this little yellow door also received the benefit of Su Shi's consistent money, so he passed the word. In order to get more reward money in the future, of course he didn't want to mess up the errand.

"Got something?" Hearing this, Su Mao really changed his appearance. Then he glanced in the direction of Longtu Pavilion, and saw that the official family was discussing a big matter with the courtiers below, so he said to the little yellow door: "You are staring here, I'll go and take a look." (The Great Song Dynasty is not called the imperial study, it is called the Longtu Pavilion, which is the place used by the emperor for small work)

Outside the emperor's office palace, Zhang Mao saw Su Shi and immediately greeted him with a smiling face. "Naorou Tong, why are you here?"

"Xia Guan has seen Su Zhongguan." Su Shi also arched his hand with a smile on his face.

"Alright, you go down first." After Zhang Mao said a word to a chamberlain who was pushing a wooden chair, he personally stepped forward to push Su Shi, and at the same time asked in his ear: "Su Shi, why did you enter the palace without an edict?" ”

"Isn't this trying to give a gift to the official family to express gratitude?" Su Shi's face was very relaxed, and he didn't look scared at all because of Zhang Maoze's blame.

"Gifts for officials?" Zhang Mao was a little unsure.

"Hmm." Su Shi nodded, and then said to Zhang Mao: "Zhongguan Zhang, please come here." ”

After biting Zhang Maoze's ear for a while, Su Shizuo straightened up and said, "Zhang Zhongguan just has to do what he just said and keep the dragon's heart Dayue." Oh yes, this is the jasmine-scented perfume you mentioned last time. ”

What does it mean that Hades is good to see, and the little ghost is difficult?

Su Shi never looked down on anyone, let alone someone like Zhang Maoze, who accompanies the emperor every day, so he can't be despised even more.

For such a person, Su Shi will not be too close, but he will not be deliberately estranged.

Or it can also be said that Su Shi never thought of himself as an upright person. He does everything for himself, his family, and his friends. And as long as it does not violate this premise, he does not mind using some means to achieve his goals.

Reaching out to take the bottle of perfume, which was very transparent, Zhang Mao put it into his sleeve pocket at a very fast speed, and then his complexion really looked much better. "Well, even if it's a piece of filial piety, then I'll try it."

"I'm tired." Su Shi knew that it was done, so he smiled and hugged his fists again.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I still need to wait here for a while."

"It should. Oh, that's what I'm talking about tea, just take it. Su Shi picked up the small wooden box in his arms and handed it to Zhang Maoze.
