As an official of the imperial court, it is definitely not okay for me to always claim to be sick and not go to court in the morning. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and help Shen Qianshan a little from the side, so that he will not have to pay attention to too many things, which will inevitably happen. Ignore some trivial things, if this is really the case, you can help him.
But this time, I knew how difficult it was, so I couldn't understand why Shen Qianshan still didn't refuse after receiving such an order.
"Even if you find Gusu Liang to help you with this matter, it will still be too difficult to complete. You clearly know that those people did not come all the way here to compensate you. If you are really beaten If these rules set by Shen Zhongbai are repeated like this, I am afraid that all the foreign countries on the border will be offended. If it is just a business disconnection, it will be a small matter, but if it is true, If you cause trouble for them and start a war on the border, Shen Zhongbai will blame all the problems on you. Have you forgotten the lessons you learned before? "
Even if Shen Qianshan really forgot what happened before, Gu Huaian promised that he would not forget it. Every time Shen Zhongbai dug a hole for him to jump into, although sometimes, Shen Qianshan and the others could still save the day, but It doesn't mean that they will be so lucky every time and be able to solve all the problems created by Shen Zhongbai.
Even the pedantic old ministers in the court don't understand, but that doesn't mean they don't understand. Those ministers must think that vendors in the capital have to pay 30% of the tax. For these people who join the gang, They only collected 20%, which should be a very easy thing to accomplish, but they didn't know the specific situation at all, nor did they know what kind of background these outside businessmen had.
In addition to big countries like Bei'an, in other small border countries, most of the people who can do business are already royal relatives of their countries. It's okay to offend one or two, but what if it triggers public outrage? If so, it might cause a lot of harassment.
"This is the first thing I have personally handled after I came back. No matter what, I can't refuse or mess up this matter. I must let those people see it. Even if I haven't been here for such a long time, I, Shen Qianshan, still have the ability to shake the throne."
What Shen Qianshan wants to do is not only to let the ministers above the imperial court see what kind of abilities he has, but also to give Shen Zhongbai a warning. He must tell him that no matter what, he has the ability to threaten To him, only after successfully solving this matter can the rest of the matter be solved easily.
Gu Suliang and Gu Huaian can actually understand, but in the final analysis, it would be too difficult to complete this matter.
"You two don't have to worry about this matter. No matter how difficult it is, there will always be a solution." Gusu Liang is actually not sure yet whether there is any other way to solve this matter. However, it is obvious that it is a foregone conclusion that this matter falls on Shen Qianshan. No matter what, it is almost impossible to change anything. Instead of complaining about why Shen Qianshan did not want to use other methods to refuse these things at that time , it is better to think about it now, how can we solve this matter perfectly.
Gu Huaian also knew that his complaints were somewhat inappropriate, but this matter seemed indeed difficult to handle.
Shen Qianshan didn't seem to want to put too much pressure on Gu Suliang on this matter, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, you don't have to put too much pressure on him, even if this matter really doesn't happen in the end. There is a way to solve it. If it cannot reach the level required by Shen Zhongbai, we have a way to solve it. At the worst, we can just put in some money ourselves. These foreign businessmen cannot appear in this place all year round. As long as we can grasp this If the timing is right, if we get through this matter, we will be able to cover it up."
Shen Qianshan can be regarded as giving him a dose of reassurance, so that he does not have too much pressure. After all, no matter who it is, it will not be so easy. What's more, this time, things are far from simple. It's as simple as they imagined. If something really goes wrong, and if they really have no other solution, this will definitely be their last resort.
In fact, from the moment Shen Qianshan truly regained his identity, he carefully asked Qianqiu to take inventory of the current palace and how much property was left. Fortunately, over the years, Brother Dahuang has been trying to show his brotherhood with him. Shen, I have been rewarded with a lot of good things. During the period of my absence, no one has touched the things in the warehouse. With the current financial situation of the palace, it should be possible to do this, even if it is this matter. If it really can't be done, I have a way to cover this matter up quietly.
Hearing what Shen Qianshan said, Gusu Liang did feel a little more relaxed, but he had also seen it on the street in the past few days. Those foreign merchants definitely carried a lot of goods. If he really wanted to If you spend money to fill this vacancy, it is likely to be a huge loss.
After all, Gusu Liang is still a businessman, and it is impossible for him to watch himself lose so much money. Although he knows that even if he really can't reach an agreement, there are solutions to protect himself, he will still try his best to complete this matter. , after all, it’s not like Shen Qianshan was really allowed to post so much money.
Gusu Liang looked at the black and white writing in his hand and began to fall into deep thought. He had been in business for so long and had been plotted many times. Some people used methods that really made him unable to guard against it, but he had seen such things a lot. Well, more or less, Gusu Liang himself also learned a little bit. He began to keep thinking about what kind of things he had done before in his mind, and whether any of them could be used in this time.
Gu Qiang really had nothing to do, so he went to Yuhua Building. Although these ministers were expecting that this place was originally Shen Qianshan's property, until now, it was still the foundation of the Gusu family, so Even if the palace ministers do not enter, there are still many dandy boys who will have fun there. But at this time, it is really difficult for Gu Qiang and A Li to get information from these people. What useful news, but today, as soon as Gu Qiang walked in, he noticed something was wrong in Yuhua Building.
It was different from the scenes he had seen a few days ago. Today's Yuhua Building seemed to be particularly lively, but most of them were faces he was not familiar with. Some of them had never even seen them before. They were wearing foreign clothes. Gu Qiang With a little thought, you can tell that they should be foreign businessmen.
It was also at this time that Gu Qiang realized belatedly that indeed, he had indeed seen many foreigners appearing in the capital during this period. He originally thought that there were some activities just after the New Year, but now it seems , these people don’t seem to just want to stay here for a day or two. Most of the foreign businessmen are accompanied by a local businessman, who seems to want them to lead the way and want to know more about the novelties here. thing.
Gu Qiang gently touched A Li's shoulder, "What's going on today? Have you figured everything out?"
Gu Qiang didn't want to waste his time talking to them. If these girls had already found out some useful information, he could listen to it then. Although it was not something that could help Shen Qianshan. No matter how busy you are, you can still get some news to relieve your boredom.
How could Gu Qiang have imagined that foreign businessmen like them could actually start a war? From the very beginning, she had treated this matter as a game, and she accidentally hit it. Got some useful news.
"It's nothing. It's just that these people have the emperor's permission to enter and leave the capital to do business. I heard that they are just here to act as a forward. Look at the people downstairs. Judging from their unimpressive appearance, in fact They are the royal families of various foreign tribes and have high prestige among their tribesmen. They came here this time to determine the taxes they need to pay when selling goods here. If possible, it is estimated that this Things will go smoothly.”
That's all A Li knows now. After all, she spends most of her time inside Yuhua Building, and she doesn't actually know much about the conditions outside. But one thing is true. These people It really didn't look as powerful as he said, but the girls who were sent to find out the information were so conclusive that I couldn't even refute it.
"Here?" After listening to what the people around him said, Gu Qiang obviously showed some incomprehension. Although he was not a businessman, he had been around Gusu Liang for so long, so he understood more or less. For some, this matter obviously sounds quite reasonable, but I just feel that something is not right, but I can't tell what is wrong for a while. Also, they are here to do business. They shouldn't make trouble everywhere. This is because they don't know. These local businessmen must know the rules. Places like Yuhua Building are always the most trouble-prone. Why would they choose to talk about something in this place
