Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 70
Seeing shopkeeper Mi gave Wang Xiujin a very different feeling. This person has the feeling of a successful person who has seen many times in his previous life. Compared with shopkeeper Mi, shopkeeper Yu and shopkeeper Wu are like the gap between the owner of a small supermarket at the door and Ma Yun.After the servants brought the tea, they were all taken out by the butler.
"I don't know what advice Master Mi has come from a long way away." Wang Xiujin's first reaction after hearing the housekeeper finished talking about the visitor was that the owner of the grocery store sent someone to see who his son was friends with, and wanted to find out about him. Bottom, but is it a bit late, he and Zhao Si have not been acquainted for a day or two, and the reflex arc of that boss is not too long.
"Young master entrusted me to bring a letter to the young master." Shopkeeper Mi took out the letter and handed it to Wang Xiujin, and then looked at the furnishings in the house.Just judging from the furnishings in the house, he would never believe that it was a place for children. Even for children from rich families, there would be one or two things in the house that could tell the owner's age. Where he could see, there was nothing in the house. see the same.
After Wang Xiujin read the letter, the corners of his mouth twitched, how capable Zhao Si is, even the people in the palace heard about it and asked him to build a unique garden.Thinking about the imperial gardens he knew in his previous life, his first reaction was that the Old Summer Palace was set on fire. When he thought of the Old Summer Palace, he would think of the Eight-Power Allied Forces entering the capital, and the expression on his face was so beautiful.
Shopkeeper Mi knew the content of the letter, and seeing Wang Xiujin's expression, he thought that he was not happy with the royal family because of Prime Minister Wang's affairs and was unwilling to help, so he was a little disappointed in his heart.Before seeing Wang Xiujin, shopkeeper Mi did not doubt the authenticity after hearing what happened to Wang Xiujin. The emperor agreed to let his son have contacts with the other party, so he checked the other party clearly. He had a very good impression of Wang Xiujin, and he felt that this The future is immeasurable.When we first met, shopkeeper Mi also nodded in his heart, but now he felt a little disappointed.
"What does Brother Zhao want to do? The more gorgeous and grand the better, or take the route of leisure and health?" Withdrawing his emotions, Wang Xiujin folded the letter. Since Zhao Si sent someone here instead of forwarding the letter through shopkeeper Wu, this person About to know the content of the book.
"Here, what do you mean by leisure and health?" Shopkeeper Mi frowned slightly, and he understood the four words individually, and put them together... "Please enlighten me, my lord."
"It's a place for pure recuperation, where you can relax and ignore worldly affairs." Wang Xiujin said lightly.
"Is it possible to have both?" Shopkeeper Mi didn't think there was any difference between the two, but since Wang Xiujin separated them, there must be a reason.
"It's okay, but the site needs to be large, the project will take a long time, and the investment will be a lot of money, and it's not just about money, but also about craftsmen and many other issues." After Wang Xiujin finished speaking, he wanted to bite Tongue, to build a house for the royal family, Zhao Sijia is absolutely willing to spend all his money, what can he say.
"Young master, please come up with a way to combine the two." Shopkeeper Mi's meaning is very clear, they are not short of money, they are not short of places, even if there is a shortage of craftsmen, they can still get them.
"Let me think about it. After I think about it, I will draw it on paper and send it to the capital." Wang Xiujin accepted the matter, but he thought in his heart that he only wanted to be a quiet grain merchant, but now he is full of all kinds of people. Got it.
"My lord, please hurry up. Although we can't start construction right now, the Young Master's family is in a hurry." Seeing that Wang Xiujin didn't refuse, shopkeeper Mi put aside his previous prejudices. beg."
"..." Did Zhao Si treat him as Tinker Bell?Wang Xiujin didn't open his mouth, just looked at Shopkeeper Mi, and he didn't believe it. A big merchant like Zhao Si didn't have a few think tanks in his family to give advice and give advice.
"You can only ask me about this matter." Shopkeeper Mi's expression was firm, and Wang Xiujin could only shake his head in his heart, silently nodded, and waited for Shopkeeper Mi's next words.Shopkeeper Mi invited Zhao Si to ask about building a house, and even pointed out that he wanted to use the money from the sale of the house to earn money for building a garden, and he wanted to find a good plan.
Wang Xiujin shook his head, "I don't know the price of a house in the capital. It takes a lot to build a garden, and it can't be paid for by building a house. If Fourth Brother Zhao can wait, he can build a few more houses, slowly gather profits, and then do it again." Yuanzi's plan. If you want to have both, you are afraid that you will spend too much, and the turnover of other profitable places will be poor." Wang Xiujin was very tired after speaking, weighing his vocabulary and trying to organize his thoughts.
Shopkeeper Mi was silent and didn't ask any more questions. This time the emperor only allocated land to the prince, but didn't give money. Shopkeeper Mi didn't know the prince's net worth, but he thought he couldn't afford to do both at the same time.Wang Xiujin's words made sense, if he had to come up with a good plan, it would be difficult for others.Shopkeeper Mi can only dismiss this matter. "One more thing, I want to talk about crab rice with the young master."
I thought shopkeeper Mi would stand up and say goodbye, but he didn't expect to talk about crab rice. Wang Xiujin straightened his body and waited for shopkeeper Mi to speak.Crab rice is always my main business, and there must be no mistakes.
"This year, many people in the capital raised rice with crabs, but the results were not satisfactory. The crabs were infested, but everyone was as small as a baby's fist. The rice was also destroyed countless times, and the land was not harvested. I am afraid that no one will try to plant it again." The rice shopkeeper sighed after he finished speaking. He was talking about the situation in Huangzhuang. Last year, all the crabs and rice were sent to the palace. The grains were not harvested, but how much was confiscated, and the rice harvested was not as good as the rice that was sent to Beijing from Wangcun.
Wang Xiujin didn't know the situation in the capital. Last year, when the Li family came to give gifts, they asked about farming. He really had nothing to say, so he refused. This year, someone in the capital tried planting, and he didn't think it was strange. "Treasurer Mi can speak bluntly."
"I wonder if next year's grain can be sent to Beijing more." The grain sent to Beijing this year was a lot more, so it was sent to the palace.The emperor learned that there is a lot of new food this year, and rewarded several dignitaries in Beijing. After these people ate it, they asked around, and sooner or later they would ask where it came from.The rich and powerful are not short of money, and they can definitely do the thing of transporting food for thousands of miles. Instead of buying them, it is better for him to make more orders with Wang Xiujin.
Wang Xiujin thought about the current situation, but several village chiefs came to inquire and wanted to be like Wang Village, but Wu Xiujin didn't think about it. He didn't plan to prop up the shop in Xiangcheng next year, and things were rare and expensive. Another point was that he wanted to try the feasibility of two crops of rice. "It won't work next year, and there may even be a reduction in production next year."
Farming, rice shopkeepers do not understand, but this year has increased, why there is still a reduction in production?
"After the next year, the eldest brother will go to Beijing to take the exam, and I don't want to worry about farming." Wang Xiujin shamelessly used the name of the elder brother to rush to the exam to justify the production cut.
Shopkeeper Mi looked at Wang Xiujin, is he serious?This reason is too perfunctory.Unable to see anything from Wang Xiujin's eyes, Shopkeeper Mi had other thoughts, "Why don't you go to Beijing with the eldest brother? In order to meet friends, the Young Master will be very happy to see you." If he can't persuade Wang Xiujin, after returning to Beijing Then let the prince write a letter to Wang Xiujin, asking him to go to Beijing together. As for the food, it is enough for the emperor to eat.
Right now, only a little bit is enough to describe Wang Xiujin's mood. He has dug a hole for himself. He absolutely believes that Shopkeeper Mi will bring up this matter after returning to Beijing. With Zhao Si's temperament, he might send him a letter , so that he must go to Beijing.He kept beating himself in his heart, but he still tried hard not to look stiff on his face. "I'm afraid it won't happen." Wang Xiujin's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to think of the best excuse for refusing.
"Don't worry, my lord still has a long time to think, and I will stay in Wu County for a day." Shopkeeper Mi got up to say goodbye.Wang Xiujin thought that he might not enter the city tomorrow, so he invited Shopkeeper Mi to stay for a light meal. Shopkeeper Mi said that he still had something important to do, and said, "In the future, there will be a time to sit with you."
Sending off Shopkeeper Mi, what Wang Xiujin thinks is that Shopkeeper Mi seems to be sure that he will come to Beijing next year.
Shopkeeper Mi didn't make things difficult for Shopkeeper Wu, but he beat him up.After shopkeeper Mi left, shopkeeper Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and became more careful in the days to come. Looking at the shop assistants, he felt that everyone might be someone sent by Beijing to watch over him.
Shopkeeper Mi walked two more cities to the south, and then set off to return to Beijing. This time, he did not achieve his desired goal. After entering Beijing, Shopkeeper Mi met the emperor first.After listening to the report from shopkeeper Mi, the emperor wondered why Wang Xiujin wanted to reduce production. As for the matter of building a garden, let his son worry about it. This trivial matter can't be solved, so what's the big deal of the country.
The prince heard from his relatives that Shopkeeper Mi had returned to Beijing, so he left the palace immediately. When he returned to the palace, he did not show any expression of joy. Regarding the food, the prince had the same thoughts as Shopkeeper Mi. Anyway, Wang Xiujin would definitely not Missing his.What the prince was worried about was how to get his father to agree to Wang Xiujin's entry to the capital, and what name he would use to send out the invitation so that Wang Xiujin would definitely agree to come to the capital.
The prince was impulsive, and directly wrote a letter to invite him. Although when his father dismissed the prime minister, he did not say that he would not be allowed to enter the capital in the future, nor did he take the honor of the prime minister Wang, but he was regarded as a criminal official. When rushing for the exam, no one will single out one or two, but when Wang Xiujin enters Beijing, some people will jump out of words.After getting along with Wang Xiujin for half a year, the prince's thoughts became different from before.Take the officials as an example, the prince didn't think there was anything in the past, but now he thinks it's a group of people who take the emperor's rations to eat and don't do serious things.All under the banner of thinking for the emperor and sharing the country's worries, they only do some things for their own selfishness.Seeing which one is displeased, they will take it down if they are not pleasing to the eye, or if they are in the way of them, they will make trouble, turn the small matter into a big one, and will not stop until they kill the other party.
The prince didn't want to cause trouble for Wang Xiujin, after much deliberation, the prince took a firm step...to find his father.
"I don't know what advice Master Mi has come from a long way away." Wang Xiujin's first reaction after hearing the housekeeper finished talking about the visitor was that the owner of the grocery store sent someone to see who his son was friends with, and wanted to find out about him.
