Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 205 Sha Mao's Gift
"See me?" Shi Chongjun hesitated, hesitantly looked at the housekeeper, hoping that the housekeeper could give him some advice.

This matter made him quite embarrassed.

After all, the historian is of a different race. Although he did receive some gifts in the past few days, which was a very large sum in his opinion, it was only for the historian.

In fact, as a foreign family, the life of historians is not easy. Not only can they stay in Toyosu foolishly and dare not run around, but they are often excluded by other colleagues, especially because after the White Horse Alliance, although the situation is good a little, but in fact this kind of exclusion has become isolation.

You know, isolation is not like ostracism. If you are ostracized, more or less people will say a few words to you. Although they will pressure you a little when it is beneficial, they will not give you nothing.

But isolation is different. Isolation means that everyone stops playing with you and lets you play alone. Since you are not in the same circle anymore, whether it is news or money, you will lose your share.

Therefore, it is this kind of isolation that makes the historian a little financially constrained, and as a Duke of the State, a Turkic Duke, he is even more incapable of committing crimes, so it becomes even more difficult.

Due to various reasons, when Shi Chongjun hears that some merchants want to see him, he is very clear in his heart. It must be that these merchants want to open Fengzhou’s trade routes by themselves. Of course, this key to open the door of the trade route It's called a gift.

If it was an ordinary nobleman, he would definitely disdain it, sending a butler at most to talk about it would be a big deal, but Shi Chongjun was very interested, and wanted to know what kind of gifts these merchants could bring him.

So Shi Chongjun signaled the housekeeper to bring the merchant into the study.

After a while, a fat man with a big belly and a beard came to the study led by the housekeeper with a smile on his face.

"Little Sha Mao has seen the young man!" The fat man bowed down as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing that the merchants are so knowledgeable about books and etiquette, they actually pay homage to themselves with big gifts. I was more or less upset at first, but Shi Chongjun immediately threw it to the back of my mind.

You must know that the Tang people and the Turkic people had a deep hatred. Since the merchant can meet him like this, there is no doubt that the merchant in front of him must be a pure merchant, and he is also a big merchant.

Because only pure merchants can abandon all races, regions and countries, because there is only one word in their eyes, and that is money.

With money, they can sell everything, including their personalities!

Therefore, when Shi Chongjun looked at the fat merchant, he immediately put on a smile on his face. If such a merchant enters Fengzhou to do business, then as the number one family in Fengzhou, the historian will definitely benefit a lot.

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk!" Immediately, Shi Chongjun smiled and said: "Just now I heard from the butler that you have something to see me, I don't know what is the matter?"

When it came to the matter, the fat merchant's face became a little embarrassed, he squeezed it, and then took out a small box from his arms, and after looking at the butler at the side, he carefully presented it to Shi Chongjun with both hands. In front of him, he said: "My lord, I'm here to celebrate your promotion and make a fortune. Be careful, I hope you don't refuse!"

After speaking, he waited for Shi Chongjun's reaction.

Be careful?

Shi Chongjun pretended to be calm on his face, but his heart was already full of smiles.

If he was really careful, would this fat man still have the nerve to show his hand?
Although he pretended to be indifferent, Shi Chongjun couldn't help being surprised when his hand touched the small box.

Because this small box, the size of a palm, actually weighed one or two catties, the feeling of dropping his hand made him feel happy immediately.

From a rational point of view, it goes without saying that there must be things like gold and silver in it. Of course, it is impossible for copper coins. Just judging from the fact that this gorgeous sandalwood box is worth at least two pennies, if it is really brought It is simply impossible to install copper coins.

However, it is impossible if it is only silver!
Although silver is also more expensive, in fact, with such a small amount of silver, it is worth tens of pennies at best. This little money, not to mention other nobles, even Shi Chongjun doesn't like it.

A merchant, a successful merchant, is naturally very aware of the value of opening a business route, so it is impossible for tens of millions to take out his hand, so Shi Chongjun believes that the small box in his hand must be lying There is a whole box of gold, and only gold can be worthy of the personal reception of his dignified Duke of Dou, the prince-in-law.

If so, it was assumed that the box was filled with gold, and Shi Chongjun's originally stiff face immediately showed a kind smile.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Shi Chongjun declined with some embarrassment: "As the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing, so spending so much money really makes me feel inappropriate!"

As an aristocrat, Shi Chongjun felt that he still needed to be a little reserved. Although he had long wanted to open the box, his education as an aristocrat made him push back with patience and urgency.

"What are you talking about, little man? Sha Mou really admires him, so what's the point of spending money if you want a friend?" Sha Mao immediately said with righteous words on his face: "It's just a mere yellow and white thing. There is nothing but a pile of dung in front of the father-in-law!"

While talking, Sha Mao looked at Shi Chongjun's face again, and saw that he did not show any signs of attack, and then continued: "To be honest, the young and poor only have money left. If the little father-in-law needs it, just If you report the number, someone will go to the mansion to inform you, and the one surnamed Sha will not be handled by the young man, so my surname will not be Sha! It's just... just"

Watching Sha Mao's performance, Shi Chongjun wanted to laugh very much.

Sure enough, the guy's fox tail was still exposed.

What money is like dung, what yellow and white things are said, are all fucking slobber!After going around and going around, don't you want to help him with things in the end?

But since he needs to help with things, then the money can be collected.

As an honorable man, although he has already left the honorary group, Shi Chongjun still knows a truth very well.

That is, it is impossible for these merchants to ask a person to do things that he cannot do.In other words, merchants asking you to do something are definitely within your authority, and they should be at least [-]% sure that they will spend a lot of money for help.

After all, doing business also requires costs, and you also need to calculate benefits. If you really want to lose money, who the fuck will spend a lot of money on thankless things?If he still offends the nobles because of this, isn't that courting death?
