Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Road Rises to the Sky
Shi Wen'er did not answer, Li Yuehua, as the only younger brother of the current emperor, has followed Li Yuexu to fight in the south and north since he was thirteen years old, and has made great contributions to the founding of the Li Xuan Dynasty. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info now does not hold an important position in the imperial court, but comes to Lingnan, which is remote in the eyes of the world, and makes a fortune quietly, no one knows what he is thinking.
Shi Wen'er watched Li Yuehua turn over and leave, and Yang Lizhen asked, "Is Mr. Shi going to stay on the boat tonight?" The lowly duty asked Mr. Shi to clean his residence. β
Shi Wen'er said: "Then there is General Lao Yang, I still have a few attachΓ©s who want to go to Luoyang together, so please trouble General Yang to let people clean a few more houses." β
Yang Lizhen clasped her fists and replied: "Yes." He turned and went to the boat.
Shi Wener got on the horse and ran all the way to Panyu Street in Guangzhou.
As the sun set to the west, a breeze blew and the shadows of the trees swayed gently in the wind. Although it is only a suburb of Guangzhou, along the way, you can also see a forest of shops, a weaving flow of people, people of all colors, all kinds of appearances mixed period, forming a different kind of vivid picture.
In a blink of an eye, I walked to the Fanfang where foreign merchants lived, and there were many shops opened by foreign merchants in Fanfang, mostly agate, and the whole one occupied an alley, all of which were agate shops. Outside merchants wearing white turbans greeted the guests in a variety of fluent and non-fluent Chinese.
Shi Wen'er finally saw the familiar tall figure in a large group of people who looked similar, with pale blue eyes like a pool of lake water, but with a little evil aura, this person was Su Samo, the Persian leader on the island.
Shi Wen'er stepped forward, looked at the person in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Big boss, no wonder I haven't seen the big boss in Luoyang all the time, it turns out that I have returned to Guangzhou." β
Su Samo narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the handsome Han man in front of him, in his opinion, the Han men all looked similar. Finally, he recognized the Shi Wen'er in front of him who drove him out of the Luoyang Palace, and then his face also showed a look that seemed to be smiling, walked up to Shi Wen'er, and greeted him in very nice fluent Chinese: "Hello Mr. Shi." He made another "please" gesture and invited Shi Wen'er to come into his shop and sit down.
Shi Wen'er took a few glances into the store, it was a little dark inside, and the rich atmosphere created by gems and agate was not what Shi Wen'er liked, but the exotic tapestries hanging on the wall made Shi Wen'er take a few more looks.
Shi Wen'er still walked into the store, standing in the store hall and looking around. One of the clerks passed by him, glanced at Susamo, and went down again. There were two Persian beauties in the hall, greeting two Indian men courteously. These two Indian men are Indian businessmen at first glance, and they are not of the same class as Su Coconut.
The two Indians laughed with the Persian beauty for a long time and finally bought a sapphire necklace. Shi Wen'er said with a smile: "The big boss is a good business, but it's just an Indian business, why not use Indian beauties?" β
Su Samo laughed, his pale blue eyes flashed with a gentle and harmless light: "Mr. Shi said that he laughed, I don't have Indian beauties at home." β
Shi Wen'er also had a smile on her face, and a pair of eyes like autumn water stared at Su Sata gently and harmlessly, and sighed: "Yes, Indian beauties are not good. They generally don't go out, and there are almost no beautiful women who do. β
Su Samo smiled: "Mr. Shi is right. β
Shi Wen'er walked to the wall, and Su Samo followed closely. Shi Wen'er looked at the tapestry on the wall and said with a smile: "This tapestry is not a Persian tapestry." β
Su Samo smiled again: "Mr. Shi has good eyesight. β
"Where," Shi Wen'er said with a smile as she stroked the rough weave on the tapestry, "I've only seen a very beautiful Indian woman who can weave this kind of tapestry." β
Su Samo showed a complicated expression on his face, restrained his smile, and looked directly at Shi Wen'er.
"Is she okay?" Susamo's asked.
Shi Wen'er looked at Su Samo with interest and said with a smile: "Since you know who I am referring to, shouldn't you care about yourself?" β
Su Samo looked at Shi Wen'er, guessed Shi Wen'er's identity, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is a member of the Zhao family?" β
Shi Wen'er smiled: "You can say that." β
Su Samo nodded and said, "The girl of the Zhao family has won the trust of Empress Zheng, so I am very knowledgeable and withdraw from the court." β
Shi Wen'er looked at Su Samo with a smile, and laughed: "Big leader, Luoyang is so big, there are so many dignitaries, and there are only one palace, how many goods do you need?" Who is the Great Chief? How could you be afraid of a little girl? The main thing is that this account is very clear. Now, the big boss occupies more than half of Luoyang's business, and we just don't want to beg. β
Su Sama said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, we are each doing our own business, and I didn't dominate the city gate of Luoyang to prevent Your Excellency from entering." Let's go to the sky, walk half of each way, and eat according to our ability. β
Shi Wen'er looked at Susamo's shop and said with a smile: "The big boss is in Guangzhou, there are many such shops." Since the big boss has been so prosperous in Prince Yun's territory, it will not be interesting enough to go to Luoyang to compete with Prince Yun for business, and those who stand in the way of people's wealth will not end well. Right? β
Su Samo listened to Shi Wen'er's words, then stared at Shi Wen'er, invited Shi Wen'er to sit down on a chair in the corner of the store, and smiled at Shi Wen'er: "No wonder Your Excellency is so strong, it turned out that he was doing things for Prince Yun, and he was offended." β
Shi Wen'er sighed and said with a smile: "Big leader, I didn't expect your news to be so ill-informed." Prince Yun thought that the big boss was going to grab money with him, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to compete with the big boss. β
Su Sama hurriedly restrained his smile, put on a look of awe, and said: "I don't mean to go against King Yun, Luoyang is so big, King Yun can't eat it all in one bite, and there is money to earn together!" Besides, Beidi is not only a big city in Luoyang, King Yun is blessed, where can he not do business if he wants to? Even in Luoyang, it only accounts for a small part of the total. The princes of the court and the central government are still dealing with each other, and they all know that they are law-abiding businessmen in the bottom. Even in Lingnan, taxes and grain are paid in accordance with the law, and the filial piety to the Yunwang Mansion is not a lot at all......"
Shi Wen'er interrupted him and said with a smile: "If you want to do business in Guangzhou, you should pay taxes and grain." Could it be that if you pay the money, you can rob foreign envoys and occupy foreign princesses in Lingnan? The princes of the imperial court," Shi Wen'er laughed, "Do you think they will agree with the big boss's approach?" I don't think the Grand Duke of India, who lost his prince and princess, would not agree. β
