Chapter 167: Night Talk
Now that the contract intention has been reached, the room is naturally happy for both the host and the guest, and the table is staggered.
Chang Muhua was already slightly drunk at this time, he picked up his wine glass, squinted at Su Shi, and asked, "I don't know what Son's plan is?" ”
Su Shi said with a smile: "At this time, it is only appropriate to drink and have fun, not to talk about things." However, tomorrow I will invite Mr. Chang to the General's Mansion for a gathering, and I will explain the plan and plan at that time, and I will ask Mr. Chang to give him advice at that time. ”
Chang Muhua waved his hand again and again, and said heartily: "Don't dare, don't dare." Su Gongzi's vision, techniques, and talents in doing business far surpass ours, and in front of Gongzi, where do you dare to say that you can teach. ”
Seeing that although he has not actually cooperated with Su Shi, through the conversation with him, with Chang Muhua's eyesight, how can he not see Su Shi's outstanding ability in business.
Qin Zhidao said quietly on the side: "Since tomorrow's virtuous nephew will gather to discuss the future plan, our Qin Mansion will naturally send people to participate." ”
Su Shi smiled: "That's nature. Then he raised his glass to Qin Yue Yaoyao and said, "Tomorrow I will welcome Brother Qin Yue in the mansion." ”
Qin Yue hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Everything is decided by the virtuous brother, and the foolish brother should be the first to be the virtuous brother." ”
Now Qin Yue admires Su Shi so much, not only is he talented, but he is also very good at doing business.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and were about to drink it all, when they only heard Qin Zhidao say, "Yue'er doesn't have to go." ”
Su Shi and Qin Yue were slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Qin Zhidao.
Qin Zhidao said slowly: "Nan'er will be responsible for the cooperation with the General's Mansion in the future, so tomorrow Nan'er will come to the mansion to discuss with the virtuous nephew." ”
Now it was not only Su Shi and Qin Yue who were surprised, but even Qin Nan himself was surprised. She definitely didn't expect that her father would let her take charge of the cooperation between the Qin Mansion and the General's Mansion.
However, after Qin Nan's accident, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to look at Su Shi anymore.
Su Shi thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he smiled and said, "Then everything is arranged by Uncle Qin." ”
Qin Yue still wanted to say, but at this time, Qin Zhidao glared at him, Qin Yue shrank his head, and didn't dare to speak again, so he had to drink sullenly.
Su Shi couldn't bear to see Qin Yue like this, and said, "Uncle Qin, I am very short of manpower there, so it is better to let Brother Qin come over tomorrow." ”
Qin Zhidao shook his head: "What does he need to do in the future, just say it, he won't be involved in tomorrow's affairs." ”
Seeing Qin Zhidao's attitude so resolute, Su Shi could only look at Qin Yue helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and signaled that he had done his best.
Although the matter had been negotiated, everyone had their own thoughts at this time, so after a few rounds of drinking, Chang Muhua and Su Shi said goodbye to Qin Zhidao. Qin Zhidao did not keep them, and personally sent them out of the house.
After seeing Chang Muhua leave, Su Shi was about to get in the car and leave, when Qin Zhidao stopped him and said, "Does the virtuous nephew have something important at this time?" ”
When Su Shi heard this, he immediately understood that Qin Zhidao had something to say to himself, so he smiled and said, "There is a junior idler, what will be the matter?" ”
Qin Zhidao said: "Since there is nothing important, the moonlight is very good today, and I am willing to accompany the old man for a walk nearby." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and it is an honor for the younger generation to listen to Uncle Qin's teachings."
Then he instructed Lin Mo: "You wait here, I'll accompany Qin Shibo." ”
Lin Mo hurriedly said: "I'll still follow Childe." ”
Su Shi knew that Qin Daodao intended to avoid everyone, and in addition to having something to tell himself, he didn't want it to fall into the ears of others, so he said to Lin Mo: "You just stay here and wait for me to come back." ”
Lin Moshi's attitude was resolute when he saw Su, and his tone became tough, so he had to reluctantly agree.
It was the dead of night, and the moon was hanging high.
The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers hits people.
Qin Zhidao and Su Shi walked slowly along the river, and saw a stone table next to the river, surrounded by several stone benches.
Qin Zhidao said: "I'm a little tired, take a rest here." ”
Su Shi hurriedly replied, "Okay." ”
Then they swept the dust off the stone bench with their sleeves, and the two sat down.
After sitting down, Qin Zhidao said slowly: "The reason why I asked Nan'er to be in charge of business is because Nan'er is smart and cautious, and Yue'er is upright and honest, and you have a big plan, so Yue'er is not suitable to participate." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Of course, I am a little careful about it, I don't want Yue'er to be too involved in this matter, I wonder if the virtuous nephew can understand?" ”
Su Shi nodded silently and said, "The juniors can understand." ”
Qin Zhidao said: "It's good that the virtuous nephew can understand. ”
At this time, Su Shi said again: "But Qin Shibo shouldn't just want to tell the juniors about this. ”
Under the moonlight, Qin Zhidao's expression suddenly became very serious, he stared at Su Shi, and said seriously: "Listening to General Su Zhousu, the virtuous nephew is very puzzled about the current situation of the integration of government and business. ”
Su Shi was refreshed after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Not bad." Since the beginning of the dynasties, any court has considered merchants to be clever people, people who seek profits without hard work, so they have also suppressed them to the extreme, and even classified merchants as lowly status. And why is this situation happening in the big cadres at present? ”
Qin Zhidao was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Because of the prince." ”
Although this answer did not surprise Su Shi, it made him feel very strange and couldn't figure it out at all.
"Why did the prince do such an amazing thing?"
Qin Zhidao said: "Can the virtuous nephew know what was the situation of the great cadres when His Majesty ascended the throne?" ”
Su Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
He was telling the truth, because he was only born in the first year of Qianxing, and in the following ten years, Su Shi only knew how to indulge in pleasures, so how could he care about national affairs.
Qin Zhidao hesitated for a long time, and when he saw that there was no one around, he sighed lightly: "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, and even the officials' salaries could not be distributed, so that the people of the court were unstable. In that year, it was a year of great disaster, with drought in the north and flooding in the south, and starvation all over the wilderness, which was unbearable. ”
"That is, in this year, the Hu people in the north took advantage of the unstable situation in Daqian and raised 200,000 elite troops to invade the border.
Seeing Qin Zhidao mention the past, including his father, Su Shi actually had a feeling of being separated from the world.
How many years have you not seen your father? He should be nearly fifty this year, right?
Su Shi guessed that he only then realized that his father's image was very vague in his mind, and he didn't know anything about him at all.
He suddenly understood why the eldest brother was so eager to return to the border pass, he didn't want to achieve the good story of father and son guarding the border together, but really wanted to be by his father's side.
But this was not the time for him to sigh, so he shook his head lightly and asked, "And then?" ”
Qin Zhidao said slowly: "If the virtuous nephew encounters this situation of internal and external troubles, what should he do? ”
This sentence made Su Shi dumbfounded, he looked at Qin Zhidao in a daze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
