Su Yizhao felt that even if Su Wenqing was unreliable, it would be impossible for him not to know this, right?
"How do you know this is not a trap? You also know that the imperial court strictly guards the gold mines. How could the gold ore flow out? Have you thought carefully about it?"
Su Yizhao rubbed his eyebrows. When he first arrived at the Su family, he thought that the Su family was a wealthy family and would have no worries about food and drink in the future. However, he did not expect that he would be worried about his life.
"I'm not the only one who is interested. Everyone is competing with each other, and it depends on who has the strongest financial resources. I have also seen the quality of this batch of ore, and the purity is very high."
"I also know that this is not possible, but the profits are so huge, who can not be tempted? When the time comes, the refined gold will be smuggled to the border, and no matter how much gold is sold, it can be sold."
Su Wenqing put the sunspot in his hand into the flag box, and then sighed.
"Father! The imperial court does not allow private minting of gold and silver. Violators may be confiscated and exiled, or beheaded in public. Not to mention, even if you refine it, will you be able to find a market? There is a mixed bag at the border, and I am afraid that your goods will be sold as soon as they arrive at the border.
He was deceived by trickery."
Su Yizhao looked at Su Wenqing's silent appearance and suddenly felt anxious.
"The risk of this transaction is too great, and it really cannot be done."
"If you want to make a fortune in the sea market, my son will plan it carefully. I dare not say that you will become rich overnight, but you can still save some money."
When it was her turn for the merchant ship to sail away, Su Yizhao asked the Tang family to give them some money and give them half of the profit.
She said this to give Su Wenqing reassurance, lest Su Wenqing really set his sights on the gold mine.
Su Wenqing reluctantly nodded, agreeing.
Su Yizhao's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Who is selling gold ore? Why doesn't he do it himself?"
Su Wenqing then narrated what happened. It turned out that Su Wenqing liked to make friends. A while ago, he went to a literary gathering, and one of them said that he had a way to make money.
So yesterday the man called several people with some wealth to talk about the matter. Su Wenqing had seen the ore at that time and it was very pure.
"He also promised that if he is interested, he can take us to see what the goods are like. But before that, he has to prove that he has money, otherwise he will not be qualified to see it."
"How many people did he call? Have you known this person before?"
Su Wenqing shook his head, "I don't know that person. There are six others in total, and they all know the basics. It's just that this person is new to me, and I don't know who recommended him to the Wenhui."
"So you don't know him well? How dare you interfere with this? Did I just show you the sample? I'm afraid I set a trap for you to fall into."
Su Yizhao glanced at Su Wenqing as he spoke, with a searching look in his eyes.
"Do you know how to contact him? Also, have you asked other people about this? Do you know where this person's gold ore came from?"
Su Wenqing pondered for a moment, "He said that if he thinks about it, he will go to Yashe to meet him in two days."
"I saw that everyone was very excited at the time, and I asked two of my friends afterwards. They all said that they were raising money, but there was little hope of raising it. As for where the gold ore came from, I didn't know, and that person didn't know.
It's impossible to tell me."
"Father, do you still remember this person's appearance? Can you copy it for me?" Su Yizhao thought for a moment and felt that this matter should be taken seriously.
"What do you want to do? The best we can do is ignore it, or we should stop getting involved, otherwise it will be resented and the gain will outweigh the loss."
Don't you think it's too late to worry now? Su Yizhao rolled his eyes at him.
"My son has his own uses, so it's best to find out more about this matter. Even if he's not here for us, we can still get important information from him."
"Yes! Anyway, you and your grandfather won't be happy if you don't plan for a day, but it's good to pay more attention to this matter."
As Su Wenqing spoke, he ordered Su Yizhao to start polishing the ink. After getting the portrait, the two of them had no intention of playing chess, so they went back to rest.
Su Yizhao looked ahead at Su Wenqing, who was walking towards the main room. His tall figure was shrouded in palace lanterns, and the shadows of the trees beside him made his figure flicker in and out, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Father!" Su Yizhao couldn't help shouting.
"What's the matter?" Su Wenqing turned to look at Su Yizhao, his eyes were deeper than ever before, and even his tone was very calm and cold.
At this moment, Su Wenqing looked very much like his grandfather, calm and calm, and seemed to have a bit of majesty.
"The meeting with Shopkeeper Zhou is never in a restaurant or shop."
Su Wenqing's eyes moved slightly, "Ah! Really?"
After he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
"Go back early and have a rest! Aren't you going to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow to have a meal?" Su Wenqing said, turned around and left.
Seeing Su Wenqing's unhurried steps, Su Yizhao turned around and walked towards his yard.
Even if she and Shopkeeper Zhou met in a restaurant or outside, they would never talk about making a living.
Talking about business has always been in the small yard on Dongma Lane.
How did Su Wenqing hear that she was discussing business with Shopkeeper Zhou? And she also knew that she had opened several restaurants and cosmetics shops.
The manager at the powder shop is not Shopkeeper Zhou, so it can be inferred that Su Wenqing has investigated him.
Back in the study, Su Yizhao looked at the portrait in his hand.
With an ordinary face, Su Wenqing would risk doing this business based on the other party's words?
"How many secrets do you have?"
Su Yizhao couldn't figure it out, and suddenly felt that Su Wenqing was too mysterious.
Tonight was her test of Su Wenqing, and Su Wenqing seemed to be interested in revealing some secrets.
If there is anyone in the world that she cannot understand the most, it is Su Wenqing.
"Why are you back so late? Peel the pine nuts for me quickly." Xiangsi looked at Su Yizhao's return and said with dissatisfaction.
Yes! There is an uncle here!
As expected, Su Yizhao peeled pine nuts for Xiangsi. Su Yizhao had just peeled a few pine nuts when he heard a noise at the window sill.
After waiting for a moment, the sound from the window sill was heard again, and then a figure climbed in from the window.
Xiangsi put her paw on Su Yizhao's hand, and Su Yizhao looked over in surprise.
"Stop peeling it off, someone will peel it off for you."
Xiangsi said, seeing the figure approaching, she immediately pushed the small plate over.
Zong Zeming was very surprised, "This squirrel has become a spirit? It is quite good at enslaving people."
He said this, but he had already grabbed a handful of pine nuts and started peeling them.
"I want to get involved in maritime trade. I'm already making arrangements, but I need your cooperation. I know you have a way."
Zong Zeming looked at Su Yizhao, who was unusually silent today, and his eyes unconsciously began to follow her eyebrows.
It had only been a few days since they last met, so why did he think this girl was prettier again?
Well! Just a little.
Suddenly thinking that Su Yizhao was almost fifteen, he stopped what he was doing. Ordinary daughters would be getting engaged by now.
