If the wealthy Shao Caishen's house in the south of the Yangtze River is full of flamboyance, then the old and decrepit house is probably just a shabby house..." Ma Shao laughed.
The smile on Shao Xun's face was a little stiff. After all, he was used to being called Shao God of Wealth by others, and with the financial resources of the Shao family, he was worthy of being called the God of Wealth.
But the person in front of me is Ma Shao, the real God of Wealth in the Song Dynasty.
Especially for merchants, this is the god of wealth who controls their destiny.
He laughed dryly, not understanding the meaning of this adult's coming, and Shao Xun did not dare to respond rashly.
Surrounded by a crowd, the two entered the guest room!
The maid had already made tea and was waiting for them. When the two arrived, Shao Xun invited Ma Shao to sit down. After Shao Xun personally picked up the exquisite teapot and poured tea for Ma Shao, he sat down with some trepidation.
“Good tea, good tea!”
Ma Shao took a sip and was full of praise.
"It's fine if you like it. It's not a valuable thing. If you like it, I'll get some for you later."
Shao Xun said with a bit of nervousness, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
Who doesn't know that this gentleman will not accept gifts from others easily, not to mention that a few tea leaves are indeed valuable.
But, with Ma Shao’s identity, can he really never drink it?
Just when Shao Xun was thinking about how to save the day, Ma Shao actually nodded and said, "Okay, in this way, I will benefit from Master Shao! Moreover, if I get used to drinking in the future, Master Shao will not
It’s strange that I’ve asked someone to come here to ask for tea…”
As soon as these words came out, Shao Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he felt overjoyed.
It is definitely an honor for the Shao family to say that Mr. Ji Xiang asked for tea from the Shao family, and it is something that Shao Xun cannot even ask for!
Next, the two started chatting awkwardly! However, most of the time, it was Ma Shao who did the talking, while Shao Xun dealt with it in a somewhat incomprehensible way.
It's not that Shao Xun has no knowledge, but that Ma Shao is too important to the Shao family.
Moreover, Ma Shao's arrival is a bit strange. After all, with Ma Shao's identity, it is impossible for anything to trouble the Shao family.
Moreover, even if something happens, all it takes is a message and Shao Xun will rush over quickly. How can it be necessary for Mr. Ji Xiang to travel hundreds of miles to Taihu Lake in person?
Seeing that he had drank two pots of tea, Shao Xun couldn't bear it any longer. He took the opportunity to pour the tea and asked cautiously, "Um... I don't know, sir, I'm here, but is there anything I need the Shao family's help for?"
?
If necessary, whether it is human or financial resources, the Shao family will do their best and never shirk."
Shao Xun decided that no matter what happened, it would not be wrong to show his loyalty first.
Ma Shao smiled and said, "I am here to check the tax accounts of several states. When I was passing by Taihu Lake, I remembered something and wanted to ask Mr. Shao for advice."
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. If you have something to do, just ask me."
Shao Xun quickly waved his hand.
"Mr. Shao should also know that not long ago, our Majesty and the Emperor of Jin jointly issued an order to change Lingbi City in Sizhou into Lianli City. Moreover, it was agreed that Lianli City would be our country of Song and Jin.
place of trade.
This matter not only involves the relationship between the two countries, but also involves all aspects of the Song Dynasty. If one mistake is not made, it will cause huge trouble."
"Your Majesty has left this matter to me, but as of now, I don't have a definite idea in my mind.
Mr. Shao has been doing business for many years and must have some ideas in this regard, so I came here to ask for advice."
Ma Shao said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, Shao Xun couldn't help being stunned again.
As the largest merchant family, it is naturally very concerned about national-level policies. Master Shao paid attention to Lianli City's decree as soon as possible, and also thought about the gains and losses and how the Shao family could participate.
However, after thinking for a long time, he gave up.
This is indeed a good thing, and if controlled properly, huge profits can be made.
However, if you don't control it well, it's not impossible to get stuck in it.
The biggest problem is that this kind of transaction requires a huge background.
Otherwise, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, once an accident occurs, it will be irreversible.
The relationship between the Shao family and the Shao family was not weak, but Shao Xun thought to himself that he still lacked a few points to participate in this.
Moreover, the Shao family has a profound background and does not need to use this method to make a fortune. If there is a chance, it is natural. If there is no chance, there is no need to force it.
Seeing Ma Shao's serious expression, Shao Xun thought for a moment, and then expressed some of his thoughts.
Of course, some of these thoughts are true and some are false. It is naturally impossible for him to express all his thoughts.
After all, his position and Ma Shao's position are not exactly the same.
However, after listening to Shao Xun's words, Ma Shao actually nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, he is indeed a model for me as a merchant in the Song Dynasty. If these methods are applied to Lianli City, this city can definitely be improved."
It will become a prosperous place, and it will also be of great benefit to various industries in our Song Dynasty."
Facing Ma Shao's compliment, Shao Xun was dumbfounded! He obviously had to deal with it, could he really say it well?
Even Mr. Ji Xiang praised you?
"Since Mr. Shao is very proficient in this field, I have a request. I wonder if Mr. Shao can agree to it?"
Ma Shao continued.
"Sir, please speak!"
"Nowadays, everything in Lianli City is under construction. How about Mr. Shao sending God to heaven and going to Lianli City to help the old man give some guidance?"
Ma Shao responded.
"Ah..." Shao Xun was completely confused. He asked himself to help build Lianli City?
"What's this called?"
"It's... it's unreasonable for me to go forward as an old man, and..."
"oh?"
Before Shao Xun could finish speaking, Ma Shao interrupted him directly, "In this case, it seems that I can't ask the Shao family head to take over.
In this case, I take my leave!"
From an old man to an official, from Mr. Shao to the head of the Shao family.
Even if Shao Xun is a fool, he knows that Ma Shao is unhappy at this moment! Moreover, he is very unhappy.
Needless to say, if Ma Shao is really allowed to leave the Shao family gate like this, the Shao family will be in big trouble by tomorrow.
As a Prime Minister, if you want to embarrass a merchant family, isn't that something that can be easily accomplished?
"Sir...Sir, I agree, I agree!"
Shao Xun didn't dare to think too much, even though he was too busy to speak.
"oh?
accepted?
Well, Your Majesty has decreed that the construction of Lienli City cannot be delayed in any way.
Since Mr. Shao agreed, let’s go to Lianli City tomorrow!”
