Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Su Qin: "They asked for so much because the things in your father's hands are rare and they want them very much. And your father also wanted the things in their hands, so they were taken advantage of.

Think about it, if what they want can be easily obtained, will they still raise the price so high? "

Qi Lusheng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Su Qin: "I've inquired over the past few days. Those foreigners didn't come here in an organized group. They were all caravans organized by themselves. There's also strong competition among them. They all want the fine silk, tea and other things we have here, but these things are hard to come by, so if they see good goods that we are willing to sell, they will also fight for them.

At this time, the initiative is in our hands, but often we are individual customers who go to exchange things with them, and we only buy what we need, so the person who has what we need will raise the price.

If we consolidate the goods from both sides and trade them all here, we can act as an intermediary. Foreigners can get enough goods, and our customers can freely choose what they like from the foreign goods. Foreign goods are all similar, so if someone raises the price, we can choose someone else instead. This way, they can compete and no one will deliberately raise the price. We can just take a commission from each successful transaction."

Qi Lusheng understood something and seemed very interested. He leaned forward and asked, "How do you do it specifically?"

Su Qin: "I've only just come up with a rough idea of ​​how to do it, and it's not complete yet. I need to learn more about the market before deciding."

Qi Lusheng immediately said, "I know what you want to know."

He hangs around the streets all day long, so there's nothing he doesn't know.

When Su Qin heard that she had met an expert, she hurriedly asked a few questions that she was particularly concerned about.

Who are the families that usually exchange things with foreign countries, what do they exchange, what goods do they need, where do they usually trade... and so on, every detail is included.

Even though Qi Lusheng's other things may seem unreliable, he does know something about this kind of thing. After all, the people he interacts with are all young men from the capital. These people like some strange and unusual things, and they often go to foreigners to exchange them for them.

Su Qin also told him some of her ideas, such as how to receive the goods and how to exchange them.

The two of them got along better and better as they talked, and eventually they sat down together.

Zhao Liangchen was a little unhappy because he couldn't get a word in. He secretly wanted to move forward, but Qi Lusheng pushed him aside because he was in the way.

Zhao Liangchen became even angrier. Seeing Qi Lusheng getting so excited that he was about to grab Su Qin's arm, he immediately reached out and hit Qi Lusheng on the back: "Behave yourself."

Qi Lusheng was grimacing from being hit, but he also knew that he was talking about excitement and almost offended Su Qin. He ignored it and could only apologize with a wry smile: "Sorry, Miss Zeng, I was so happy that I forgot the difference between men and women."

Su Qin also spoke happily, because at the beginning she just wanted to give it a try, but now after talking with Qi Lusheng, she felt that this thing had potential and would definitely make money.

She smiled and said, "No problem, Master Qi and I had a very good chat."

Qi Lusheng was delighted: "Then let's continue. How much silver does it cost to do this?"

Zhao Liangchen stood between the two men and said unhappily, "Lusheng, have you forgotten what I just said? You can't participate without asking your father."

Qi Lusheng's smiling face instantly fell and he asked pitifully, "Isn't it okay for me to just do business with you guys without getting involved in anything else?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head. "No, we are under the surveillance of the King of Liang. He knows everything we do. If you interact too closely with us, he will think that your mansion is trying to take sides. He wants to win me over now, so he might also win you over. Your family is rich, so he may have been eyeing you for a long time. If you do business with us to make money, you will be making money for him if he wins you over. If you don't, you will be in trouble. This is no joke."

Qi Lusheng was unconvinced: "Then aren't you afraid that the money you make from your business will eventually go to him?"

Su Qin explained, "Without your participation, we would at best be doing small business, taking on small orders, and he wouldn't be interested in the money we earn. But with your connections, if you were involved, it would be a huge business, and we might even monopolize the entire foreign business. The money we earn would probably be more than your mansion currently has. By then, not only Prince Liang, but also the Emperor and others would be jealous and want to take a piece of your mansion. Your mansion would never be able to stay quiet."

Qi Lusheng was a little dumbfounded: "Is this how much money you can make?"

Su Qin nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

In the ancient times, those who went west, went to Southeast Asia, and took the Silk Road all made a lot of money. To say that they made more than the money of a marquis's mansion was an understatement. If this was managed well, it was possible to become the richest man.

Qi Lusheng looked aggrieved: "But I really think this is interesting and I want to do it."

Zhao Liangchen sighed, patted his shoulder and said soothingly: "Just bear with it for a while. Once we overthrow King Liang, we'll give you the business."

Qi Lusheng leaned back in his chair dejectedly: "That will have to wait until the end of time."

Zhao Liangchen and Su Qin looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

In fact, Su Qin wanted to cooperate with Qi Lusheng. The Marquis' Mansion had connections, money, and people. By cooperating with them, she could just come up with some ideas and make money without doing anything. But Zhao Liangchen was right to worry. The involvement of the Marquis' Mansion of Wu'an would do more harm than good. She would dare to let Su Qin make a few tens of thousands of taels by doing small things, but she would not dare to do anything bigger because sometimes wealth is a disaster if you have no ability to protect it. If the Marquis' Mansion really got involved, then the money would really be earned by others, and she would then become a puppet in the hands of others to make money.

After being depressed for a while, Qi Lusheng suddenly straightened up: "Wait for me, I'll go back and tell my father, maybe he will agree."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out, but after taking two steps he stopped again: "Don't take those servants with you yet. Wait until I ask my father. If he agrees, they can stay here for training."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Su Qin was dumbfounded: "He just left us here?"

Zhao Liangchen was also helpless: "This kid's words are always true, you have to get used to it."

Su Qin: "What should we do now, wait for him to come back?"

Zhao Liangchen: "He can't come back today, let's go back first and talk about it tomorrow."

Su Qin nodded. It was just right that she could go home today and write a plan carefully.

After the two men went out, Zhao Liangchen asked the servants on the farm to harness the carriage to take them back.

After returning, Su Qin began to write a detailed plan. After Zhao Liangchen returned, Zhao Jian called him again and asked him what he had been busy with recently and what progress he had made in the position of deputy commander.

Recently, he has been very concerned about Zhao Liangchen. Even the servants who sent him to the courtyard served him very attentively. There was no longer a situation where he did not have hot meals or hot water for bathing. The embroidery room in the mansion also started to cut clothes for him according to the specifications of the eldest young master of the mansion for the first time. Zhao Liangchen was still very obedient on the surface.

After Zhao Jian formally asked about it today, he continued, "You're not young anymore, and it's time for you to get married. I've asked your mother to find a few suitable girls for you. They're all well-educated and well-mannered. You can meet them once you've been confirmed as the deputy commander."

Zhao Liangchen was stunned, then clenched his fists. In his previous life, Zhao Jian and his wife had never arranged a marriage for him. His parents were still alive, but no one arranged a marriage for him. Naturally, no one would marry their daughter to him, so he was almost thirty and still hadn't married.

Now they wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he knew that this was not their intention, but might be the intention of King Liang. King Liang wanted to use the same trick again and tie him down by relying on the marriage relationship. This was how Zhao Jian was won over back then.

A trace of hatred flashed through his heart, and then he loosened his hand and replied respectfully: "My son's marriage is entirely up to my father and mother."

Zhao Jian was very satisfied with his attitude and said a few more words to comfort him: "Don't worry, the family we have chosen for you is definitely a good match for you. Now is a good time for you to make achievements and establish your career, and you also need the support of a good wife and family."

Zhao Liangchen: "Yes, that's what my father said."
