The strongest young talent in history

Chapter 154

Because of the special status of the Imperial City Division, whether they were local wealthy businessmen or officials, they would basically stay away from them if possible.

This also provided a convenience for the Imperial City Division. They used their power to fill their pockets, coerce local wealthy businessmen, and pay them a monthly support.

As for the amount, it usually depends on how much money these wealthy businessmen can earn in a month. In order to save trouble and avoid provoking the Imperial City Division, these wealthy businessmen will usually pay this amount of money honestly.

The soap business run by Su Mo is the only one in the Song Dynasty, and the profits are extremely huge. If you can get some support money from him, the amount must be huge. Even if it is just a market in Taikang County, the support you can get in a year I am afraid that silver will not be less than 3000 taels.

So Shen Bian came to see Su Mo. A small man from Taikang County was not at his mercy.

But what Shen Bian didn't expect was that Su Mo didn't even discuss with him, but refused directly, he rejected himself.

Not only Shen Bian, but also Sun Qiwen, Lu Zhi'an and others also silently praised Su Mo in their hearts. No wonder he can be appreciated by the emperor. Look at his attitude. It doesn't matter whether he is the Imperial City Secretary or not. , I just don’t like you.

They were often bullied by Shen Bian on weekdays, but they never dared to resist. Today they finally saw Shen Bian defeated. It felt so sour.

The other businessmen also looked at Su Mo silently, their eyes full of approval and admiration.

Chai Wenqi almost laughed out loud. Everyone in the dignified Imperial City knew that Shen Bian, who was usually domineering, finally made a fool of himself in public.

But Shen Bian was a deep-hearted person. He did not have any mood swings because of Su Mo's words, and the smile on his face bloomed again.

He nodded slightly to Su Mo, and said in a calm voice, "In that case, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Bian turned around and left.

After Shen Bian left, the atmosphere in Su's soap shop became lively again. Many people came to Su Mo and began to pay him a new round of compliments.

Su Mo pressed his hand and said, "Thank you, Su Mo, for your support today. I'm here first, everyone, please go back first. You are all busy people. When Su Mo is free, come to the door one by one to say thanks."

……

After everyone left, only Su Mo, Chai Wenqi and Sun Qiwen were left in the lobby of Su's Soap Shop. Even Luo Ming and others were temporarily taken to other places by Hou Qing to leave space for the three of them. .

The three of them sat on the chairs, and Sun Qiwen said worriedly: "Master Su, Shen Bian is a villain with deep knowledge in the city. He is not so easy to deal with. Although he didn't say anything today, he will definitely take action against you next. You Be careful.”

Chai Wenqi, who was on the side, also put away his cynical smile at this moment, and said solemnly: "Su Mo, if it's other matters, I may be able to help you, but when it comes to the Imperial City Division, I can't do anything."

If it was another official, if Chai Wenqi wanted to help Su Mo wholeheartedly, he only needed to give the emperor a memorial to transfer him away, but if it was the Secretary of the Imperial City, this memorial would not work.

Su Mo nodded, and said: "I will be careful about this matter, but in two months, I will go to Bianjing to attend the Empress's birthday banquet, as long as there are no accidents during this period, I will leave after I leave , even if Shen Bian wants to trouble me, he has no chance."

Hearing this, Sun Qiwen's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise. Su Mo was actually invited by the emperor to attend the Queen's birthday banquet?

What a great favor!
The empress empress was a mother-in-law and had high prestige among the people of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, she lived a simple life, and her birthdays were always simple, with no big fuss at all. Therefore, those who attended her birthday every year were all members of the royal family. It can also be regarded as a royal family banquet. Even on such occasions, the emperor invited Su Mo.

He was now more and more curious as to what Su Mo had done to make the emperor value him so much.

Chai Wenqi nodded, and said: "That's right, well, you can figure it out, I'll go back to the palace first, you hurry back to Su Garden."

"Master Su, I will also take my leave first!"

……

After Chai Wenqi and Sun Qiwen left, Su Mo returned to the backyard again, chatted with Shen Miaomiao, Xiao Ziling and others, and then let them leave too.

After the opening of Su's soap shop, several managers under Su Mo's subordinates were also appointed, and the shopkeeper of Su's soap was his confidant Yang Laoliu.

Although Yang Laoliu is a farmer, he has been in the soap business for a long time. Although he needs to be responsible for the soap production base in Yangjiacun, things there are not complicated. Yang Laoliu can find a deputy.

The shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn is still Tong Xiangyu. As for Yuhuaxuan, Chang's mother does a pretty good job. Although Su Mo doesn't like her very much, as long as she can make money for herself, there is no need to replace her. She only needs to be improved. Ideological education, just let her be true to herself.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, and it will have to wait until Su Mo completely buys Yuhuaxuan.

……

When Su Mo and Zhao Feiwu returned to Su Yuan, Su Yuan's servants ran over and told Su Mo that several old men had been waiting for him in the main hall for two hours.

Su Mo knew that these old men were imperial physicians sent by the emperor to study art, but the "Basics of Modern Medicine" copied by Zhao Feiwu hadn't been completed yet, and Su Mo had nothing to teach them.

Seeing Su Mo, these old antiques must be a lot of trouble, so Su Mo decided to leave them alone.

He asked his servants to make arrangements. He first arranged for these old antiques to rest in the guest room, told them that the courses were still being arranged, and asked them to calm down.

Then, Su Mo didn't care whether the imperial physicians had any opinions or not, he didn't show up from the beginning to the end, and went straight to Liu Yue's room.

When Su Mo entered the room, Liu Yue was sitting on the bed reading a book. Seeing Su Mo coming in, Liu Yue put down the book in her hand and said with a smile, "I'm back. Today's opening ceremony is going well, right?"

Su Mo picked up the teapot on the table, did not pour water into the teacup, took a few gulps, and then came to Liu Yue and sat down.

Only by Liu Yue's side can Su Mo let go of all the burdens on his body and be defenseless.

After arriving at Liu Yue's side, Su Mo vomited loudly, and then told Liu Yue about Shen Bian coming over to collect protection money.

After Liu Yue heard this, a hint of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes. He did not expect that Su Mo would be named Taikang County Male and become a fifth-grade official.

However, Liu Yue was noncommittal about Su Mo's decisive rejection of Shen Bian's request.

Liu Yue is a person who likes to make trade-offs. In this matter, spending 3000 taels of silver every year to save the trouble of the Imperial City Secretary is a choice that has more advantages than disadvantages.

But since Su Mo chose to refuse, Liu Yue would support him unreservedly.

She pondered for a moment, and said: "Since you have turned against Shen Bian, why not act first!"
