Chapter 296 The nobles help pave the way
Listening to my request, Zhao Wude stood there, without saying anything, just holding his hands together, slowly slapped the rhythm, and didn't speak for a long time.
Anyone who does big things will not make a rash decision no matter what decision he makes. He will leave enough room for himself between advance and retreat, so we are not in a hurry to wait for his decision.
He needs to consider many things, and even what happens to him. He needs to consider them. Of course, if Uncle Zhao is the head of the royal palace, these are things that must be considered, but if his position is higher, then what we consider is not something we can guess.
Zhao Wude didn't think about it for long. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Okay!"
"yeah!!"
My friends and I all waved our fists and cheered.
Even a person as steady as Master and Master Ba was greatly relieved.
The Song Dynasty was originally a country that paid attention to etiquette, and with the care of the royal family, our "Mengqiu Tower" could not be prosperous.
"Wait!" Zhao Wude raised his hand to stop our cheers and said seriously: "My promise is conditional. You must abide by it, otherwise I will not agree."
"You said!" I said with a bitter face, "Uncle Zhao, you can take care of your nephew. It's too difficult for us to do it."
"Haha, you little sloppy!" Zhao Wude pointed me in a funny way, "My request is, first of all, I don't want your part... Xiaobao, don't interrupt me, listen to me... If you really have the will, then there are many poor families inside and outside Bianliang City. You can take out 30% of your profit every month and buy it into rice and give it to them. That is equivalent to repaying me."
"Okay." Seeing the master and Master Ba nodding at me, I immediately patted my chest and agreed.
"Then, since you have the sign of my Eight Sages Palace, you have to do business honestly, not be fooled, not be short of weight, and not bully others by virtue. Can you do it?"
"Of course!" This time, without having to talk to Ba Ye, I also subconsciously replied: "We people from Xiayi Island always pay attention to people in business and do not do bad things."
"Yes, I can't do bad things, but the price is ridiculously expensive?" Zhao Wude said jokingly.
"I am very particular about the materials used in the household. Not only does it take hard work, but also time. Most of them are transported from a place so far away from the Essay Island. We just earn reasonable gold and silver." I said righteously: "Uncle Zhao, this is all hard money!"
"Okay, okay, let me say something, you've even made a lot of come out for me." Zhao Wude waved his hand with a hilarious look, "Basically, I have so many requirements. It's best for you to do it. If you can't do it, I'll drive you back to Ekima Island!"
After saying that, he grabbed Shen Han's arm again: "Brother Shen, leave, ignore these common things. When we go to the study room over there, it is rare that there is someone as knowledgeable and unconventional as you. I want to ask you more questions."
Master was not very good at and liked by business, and he talked about Confucian literature and discussed worldly affairs, but he liked it very much.
Zhao Wude's proposal just fulfilled his wish, and the two walked out with a smile. By the way, the master had not forgotten to ask us to bring them a small jar of ten kilograms of "Drunk Immortal Brew" and later, drinking and talking about everything and talking about the world. It is a great joy in life.
Of course I don’t like such profound things, but not only are they happy, I am also even happier.
The biggest problem of opening the "Mengqiu Tower" in Bianliang City has been solved. The next step is to see how much sensation we can cause!
It was said that Zhao Wude would not need to be entertained, but that night, we stayed in the Baxian Prince's Mansion for a whole night.
As the number one person in the royal family under the emperor, the Eight Sages Palace is much larger than imagined. Behind it is the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City, which is wide and large.
So we were resting in the first-entry house outside the Eight Virtue King's Mansion, and we didn't even get in the middle, let alone the back of the Eight Virtue King's family lived.
I have nothing to be dissatisfied with Zhao Wude’s arrangement. It is already good for someone to let you live in the Eight Wise King’s Mansion. You should be more tactful and contented in life.
Besides, I also have the meaning of pulling the tiger's skin and holding the big flag. For example, early the next morning, Hu Yanming was taken to our courtyard by the concierge, which happened to be the time when our family was having breakfast.
"Tsk tsk, brother Bao, I said you are luxurious enough, and you are so good to eat early in the morning." Hu Yanming sat at the table without hesitation, waved his hand to greet the people from the Eight Virtues Mansion who were serving beside him and said, "Let me get one."
The servants of the Eight Wise King's Mansion were all very qualified. When they heard this, someone naturally brought him a copy from the kitchen.
To be honest, the food we had in Baxian Wangfu was really good. This morning we ate a few bowls of strong mutton soup for each person, a portion of roasted chicken, an unlimited bun, and various pickled side dishes, which were filled with them.
This is the one who can serve as a New Year's Eve dinner in the Eight Sages Palace, and it is just a food for entertaining guests. No wonder so many people yearn for this prosperous Song Dynasty, no wonder so many people want to be officials and emperors.
It’s not that the Huyan family can’t afford this kind of food, but they are from a military family. The family emphasizes simplicity and grandness, and there is not so much food, so Huyanming suddenly became jealous.
While drinking mutton soup, Hu Yanming began to speak, "Brother Bao, I told my old man... Hey, there is no need to talk, just put the three kinds of fine wine you gave them, my grandfather, dad, uncles and uncles immediately opened their eyes and kept saying yes, where is there anything else that you don't agree?"
"Just agree." I said, "I'm afraid that 10% of the members will be too unprovoked. Brother Huyan, your family will feel that there are fewer ones."
"What is the less?" Hu Yan waved his hand and said, "My grandfather said that as long as you supply their fine wine at any time, even if you don't give it to members, our Hu Yan family will be the solid backing of your "Meng Qiulou"!"
"Ahem, I heard that your family is full of big wine jars, and it doesn't matter if you drink it yourself... If we have to have a big banquet, our wine won't last long." My face immediately changed drastically, "Brother Huyan, you should save us some money before we get the wine."
Hu Yanming was stunned and then smiled embarrassedly.
