Crown Tang emperor

Although she still spoke angrily, Shangguan Wan'er's mood has improved a lot, her mouth was thin with anger, her body twisted and tilted up, she hugged her husband's arm and smiled: "Sanlang also knows that all the family's wealth has been thrown into this plan , When the tax is collected later, can you raise your hands high? You can’t use up all your treasury, and your wife and children are ashamed to see others..."

Li Tong first enjoyed the tenderness of his tender body for a moment, and then he said with a dry smile: "My whole body is full of muscles and muscles, so my wife can let go of her. If you want to benefit the country, you can't avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune!"

"Could it be that I'm actually a monster that will harm the country?"

Shangguan Wan'er became furious, and pulled out a soft whip from behind, raised her leg and set foot on the table: "It's not worth the price of an inch to stay together all night, then don't blame me for paying back the burden of this body! "

Chapter 0971 Saburo elegant taste, sultry heart

It is inevitable that the imperial court will cut down on the wealthy merchants and rich merchants in Chang'an City. No matter how angry Shangguan Wan'er is, it will only add a little fun to the couple's daily life, and it will not affect the result.

It's just that how to cut this knife also needs to pay attention to a method. Although imposing heavy taxes is the most direct and effective way, it is not easy to draw up a standard.If a tax rate plan that is justifiable and recognized by the public cannot be made, it will also be a big blow to the increasingly prosperous business atmosphere.

What Li Tong needed was crops of vigorously growing leeks, so of course he wouldn't choose to catch them all.Excessive concentration of wealth is contrary to the law of commerce and trade that speeds up circulation. Whether investing in real estate or luxury goods, it does not have a big impetus to social development, but not all merchants are keen to expand production after making profits.

Therefore, after some discussions, two plans were formed in the court.

The first is that Baoli Bank, which has been nationalized, adopts a floating interest rate system for the flying money draft business. The flying money issued is 15.00% in the first year, [-]% in the second year, and [-]% in the third year. Reached [-]%, in order to promote the circulation of wealth.In other words, if the wealth is not circulated for a long time, then the wealth will depreciate year by year.

Nowadays, the convenience and safety of Feiqian have been widely recognized. Generally, if you want to conduct business transactions, you cannot avoid Feiqian.Although the interest rate of flying money is extremely high, it is far lower than the consumption caused by long-distance transportation of bulk assets, not to mention the safety guarantee.

Although it is said that high depreciation can be avoided by replacing the bill before the expiration date, the cost of issuing Feiqian is [-]%, so it is most cost-effective to spend the money within the first year.Only by turning money into money as soon as possible can we outperform the high depletion of storage.

Of course, this kind of high-interest extraction is bound to discourage Shiliu's enthusiasm for exchanging flying money, so the court has set aside another convenient method, which is investment tax exemption.

In some places and industries stipulated by the imperial court, as long as merchants invest and build workshops, they can get a certain amount of profit back based on data such as investment capital scale, number of employees, and production capacity.

In this way, the imperial court can use the flying money business of Baolixingshe to affect the circulation speed of social wealth, stimulate the development of private productivity, and bring people's livelihood into overall planning, without adding more redundant institutions, Increasing administrative costs will allow social resources to be mobilized more efficiently.

The second is the directional sale of bonds. With Zhang Ren's willingness to become a pilgrimage minister, the Xihe Bank, which had been neglected for a long time, was brought up again.Guaranteed by Baoli Xingshe, Xihe Xingshe raised funds from the public and paid huge sums of money to the imperial court in exchange for the mining rights of various mineral materials in Qinghai area for a certain period of time, and then the imperial court ordered the repurchase.

Qinghai and its surrounding areas produced a lot of mineral materials, and the reason why the Tubo army was so strong had a lot to do with it.Now that Datang has regained Qinghai, the excavation and utilization of resources in the region must naturally be put on the agenda.

However, if the mining and production are organized by the government, not to mention the various investments in the early stage, the administrative waste generated in the process alone will be very alarming.To prevent this situation, various monitoring costs will be increased.

If it is packaged and sold directly to non-governmental groups, not only can save the preparation and investment in the early stage, but also directly obtain a lot of profits.Moreover, Qinghai is different from the mainland, and the cost of transportation is extremely high. Even if the copper and iron are mined by the people, there will be no hidden danger of a large amount of copper and iron flowing into the people.

What's more, the imperial court directly repurchased these mineral materials in Longyou, and these strategically related materials returned to the imperial court's control.

Li Tong is also exploring a new development model in this way, the military force of the imperial court is developing in the front, and the resources of the people are pouring in from the rear to digest these newly occupied territories.

In this way, it can not only reduce the cost of foreign development, but also improve the efficiency of mergers and integrations, so that the interests of the government and the people are highly consistent, so that a series of foreign wars will no longer be militarized by the Tang emperor's martial arts. Bigger, the people are getting poorer and poorer.

However, after all, there are not many successful precedents for this kind of strategy. Li Tong is also worried that the public's recognition of this is not high, which makes the bond sale of Xihe Bank Co., Ltd. unsatisfactory.

In addition to the gold-lettered signboard of Baoli Bank as a guarantee, he also decided to tie the bond with the distribution quota of the Shanzhou government manufacturing market.In short, as long as you purchase the mining bonds of Xihe Bank, you will be able to obtain a certain amount of distribution rights in the official city of Longyou.

This right to distribute goods is not directly involved in the transaction of the official market, but the merchants in the middle and middle countries provide related commodities, and the government buys them according to a certain percentage of the current price.

In this way, even if the mining efforts and returns of Xihe Co., Ltd. are not ideal, at least there are stable income hedging risks brought by the distribution of goods from the official market.

Li Tong is also not worried that merchants will become richer because of this series of investments. After all, this increase in wealth is not about accumulating wealth in the original social structure, but about gaining wealth growth in newly opened fields.

In the final analysis, no matter how rich and wealthy a giant businessman can be against a powerful state apparatus.What the imperial court really cared about was not the accumulation of merchants, but to fully control the scheduling and distribution of social resources and wealth.

Don't care how much money you have, spend it where you want, so that you can live in peace.If you have to stare and go against the government's decree because you have two bad money in your hand, who will die if you don't die?The imperial court doesn't care about your three melons and two dates, but don't try to provoke the bottom line of order!

Relevant decrees have already been written and will be implemented in a period of time after the World Expo.Li Tong explained to the lady concisely, so that the lady could understand how the knife was cut.

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er, she couldn't help but feel that the emperors and ministers in the court and ministers sent out money very cleverly. Although it was essentially a cut, it was stuck on the edge of the limit that the flow of time could bear.

If you are not a person who travels to the frontier all the year round, who can explain how much Bai Qinghai's mines can produce? It is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult to go to the field to investigate. How much is produced and what is the value? What's the deal?

Therefore, the so-called bonds of Xihe Bank Co., Ltd. are officially called commercial securities, and the amount of purchase seems to be the same as taking money for nothing.However, because it is endorsed and underwritten by Baoli Bank, it does not seem to be completely unreliable, at least it is attractive to some people who gamble a lot.

As for the distribution rights in the official market, it is extremely attractive to some merchants with strong capital.After the recovery of Qinghai, the westbound commercial roads were unimpeded, and the entire business situation in Chang'an in the future is full of uncertainties. If such an opportunity can be seized to obtain a relatively stable profit return, many people will undoubtedly flock to it.

In short, this series of decrees is uncomfortable, but not completely contradictory. It is both entangled and full of expectations.

Although according to the official statement, it is not mandatory for merchants to purchase how many company securities, but the richer the merchants, the greater the scope of personnel they need to contact.If you don't pay any money and don't give the court face, you can imagine that there are many personnel nodes that need to be operated, so there will be no sympathy to talk about.

"Then how many commercial certificates do my family need to buy to cope?"

Now that the regulations have been drawn up, Shangguan Wan'er didn't make any more struggles, and simply asked questions directly.

Li Tong laughed dryly, turned his head to avoid the lady's sight, and said: "Originally, these regulations were not planned to be discussed and implemented this year, but the lady's arrogance was amazing..."

In other words, it was because of you, a prodigal bitch, that you made a new decree of the imperial court. If you shoot the top bird, you can figure out how much you should pay?

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't hold back her anger when she heard the words, and raised her hand to pinch Fulang's arm. Li Tong grinned but couldn't struggle to avoid it, so she could only say: "Xihe Bank sells commercial securities, and others may not know the benefits." How much, but the government of the country is all from me, so what is there to hesitate about? Qinghai is rich in mineral resources, and it is always a huge profit..."

"It's not good for me to sell spices in Chang'an with peace of mind. Why should I calculate the profit of mining in Qinghai? I can't control the profit and loss if I spend a lot of money. With this capital, how much profit can I salvage in the Beijing Zhongxing City! What's more, the official market What does distribution have to do with my family's business? Even if all the fragrances in the official market come out of my family, how much can those Qiang Hu in Qinghai consume?"

Shangguan Wan'er was able to accumulate millions of family assets in just a few years. In addition to making huge profits from the incense business, she naturally also has a business sense and will not be fooled by Li Tong casually.

The commercial securities of Xihe Bank may be able to make a lot of money, but in addition to the long return period, the missed investment profit opportunities after capital investment cannot be ignored.The official market distribution right is of little significance to the luxury goods industry like Xianghang, and it cannot catch up with the missed opportunity cost at all.

"No one dares to stop the government's tyranny. But I can't be calm. Unless Fu Lang is willing to figure out a way to do business for me, I would rather be in jail than buy the company's business certificate!"

Shangguan Wan'er knew that her husband was already a victim of money, and she didn't know how many tricks she would come up with in the future. Since she couldn't avoid it, she simply joined in and squeezed her husband's wisdom to get it back from other places.

Seeing the lady's resolute attitude, Li Tong sighed first, and then said: "The good plan of business is in the hands of the lady. Incense makes huge profits, and everyone competes for envy. The lady's skillful fragrance blending, all kinds of top grades are even more competitive among the masses." ..."

"No matter how expensive my family's incense is, it needs to be carefully prepared. It can't be compared to the government's decree, which can be filled with money and silk in an instant!"

Shangguan Wan'er was dissatisfied again when she heard the words, and she spread her hands to express that it was not easy for her to make money, but her white and soft palms really couldn't set off the hardship of grabbing money.

"My lady has worked hard, of course I understand. So, how can Zhenxiang, who is so skilled and hardworking, be able to search and buy it in the city with money? It's too easy to get, but it doesn't show the exquisite skill of the lady!"

Li Tong hurriedly followed the meaning of the lady's words: "In my opinion, in the future, obstacles should be set up for the sale of fragrances! Vulgar fragrances can be priced with money, but my wife feels that I can't just exchange them with money!"

"If you don't take money and silk, what else will you take? Please make it clear!"

Fu Lang's flattery made Shangguan Wan'er very helpful, and at the same time she seemed to have realized something, but after all, she still couldn't figure it out by herself, so she could only continue to ask.

"Is it okay to buy 100 million commercial coupons?"

Li Tong took the opportunity to ask for the price, but seeing the lady's expression turned angry, he quickly said: "The products of the incense shop are graded according to the work and materials, and the low-grade products can be bought with money, while the top-grade products need points and annual restrictions. Membership, how many points are usually spent to upgrade. Such as my wife's handmade treasures, if it is not for the wealthy customers who spend tens of thousands of dollars every year, they are not worthy of enjoying it at all!"

The luxury industry, from ancient times to the present, has emphasized that it is noble because of scarcity.The commodity economy is developed in the later generations, so it is natural to understand this set of operations. The major source of profit for various trendy brands and luxury goods lies in the brand premium.

To maintain the scarcity of commodities, it is not simply hunger marketing. There are various limited and targeted sales strategies.Prestige is not reflected in the high price, but in the fact that although you are rich, as long as you are not my target customer, you will not be able to enjoy the services provided by the brand.

Although it is still a money game in essence, the benefits brought by the artificially delayed gratification are undoubtedly greater than the direct transaction of whatever you want.In exchange for a limited number of places, all kinds of buyers and high-rollers in later generations spent on brand membership upgrades and maintenance costs far exceeding the price of the product itself.

"Saburo always has whimsical ideas, which amaze the world! Who wouldn't love such a high-spirited and elegant mind!"

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she suddenly realized, and in a blink of an eye, she turned into a little bird and threw herself into her husband's arms: "Everything in the world, the living can see it with eyes. But only me, Saburo, can turn a stone into gold." Brilliant technique! My concubine often prides herself on her merits in managing the family affairs, but after years of busy work, she can't compare to San Lang's casual advice! How can San Lang be so seductive, making people hard to give up..."

Hearing the lady's soft words of admiration, Li Tong, who had been under the weather for a long time, also became happy, hugging his delicate body with his big hands, and said with a complacent smile: "If I don't have this endowment and demeanor, how can I make my lady love me?" Crazy like crazy?"

"Love! I can't love enough...for life, life after life! My concubine has a shallow belly and vents her anger. If Saburo has any resentment, he will ruthlessly, ruthlessly tonight..."

Shangguan Wan'er's bright eyes were blurred, and her body curled up in her husband's arms gradually became restless.

"Aye, Mom, the baby is back!"

Li Tong was full of blood, and suddenly the childish voice of his son was heard outside the hall. The husband and wife separated and entangled like an electric shock.

Shangguan Wan'er asked her son how his schoolwork was today with a straight face. After Li Guangyuan finished his answer, he looked at Aye expectantly and whispered, "Aye said he wanted to play with me..."

Li Tong glanced at the lady's ruddy earlobe, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Children are fooled, Aye hasn't played for a long time, if Guangyuaner wants to have fun, he still has to find someone of the same age. It's just right for a high-profile person to have a new yellow mouth." playmate, you two play games in front of the court, and Ye Niang will watch in the hall."

What Li Guangyuan misses most is the dazzling array of toys he saw last night. As for whom to play with, he is second. Hearing this, he looked hopefully at Gao Lishi who was standing by the side. Gao Lishi hurried forward and said respectfully. : "I will accompany Xiao Lang to choose toys."

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Fu Lang who was sitting still in the table, her eyes were shy and a little angry, full of charm, she got up and stretched her waist, and then smiled and said: "Fu Lang, please watch here." Drama, concubines, and trivial matters. The exchange of large sums of money, the rules of membership must be drafted. The distribution of goods provided by commercial securities will not be accepted, and 100 million yuan will be used to buy a garden. All the offerings and offerings of incense products of the third grade or above must come from my house. If Saburo agrees, 100 million coins will be honored in full after the World Expo!"

This lady already has the demeanor of a strong woman, and after she got out of the fascination, she quickly thought of a more favorable condition for her family.

Li Tong also couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words, but he thought that the sales of 100 million yuan of commercial securities would indeed give a good start to this business plan, so he nodded and agreed.

Spices are not the basic needs of people's livelihood, and tastes and preferences are different. The more noble the standard, the more sought after.Thinking about those flashy dandies in Beijing who were soaked in fragrance and went to Pingkangfang to boast that the purple-robed boss in the imperial court had the same taste as me, and those actors would work harder to cater to them.

Li Tong has always been tolerant and casual when not doing things related to people's livelihood and political affairs.The higher the price of homemade spices, you can take the opportunity to deduct the amount of benefits granted by the imperial court. Such expensive spices are given to you for free, and other brocade food materials will of course be reduced.

Chapter 0972 All things in the world gather at the Expo

The great victory in Qinghai a few months ago had already inspired the hearts of the people of Datang, but they had not yet completely recovered their peace. The ensuing World Expo has aroused enthusiasm among the people.

Not only the people in Chang'an City were actively preparing for the grand event, but households from surrounding states and counties also flocked to Chang'an during the late autumn agricultural slack, applying for jobs and gaining knowledge at the same time.

Although there are some old-fashioned conservatives who think that the World Expo will encourage materialism and materialistic desires, which will greatly harm the education of the people.But people are alive, working hard for years, for nothing more than a better material life.

With the improvement of Datang's national strength, the World Expo has developed rapidly and its scale has increased year by year.From the initial exhibition of one or two venues and one or two thousand products, it has expanded several times now, and its influence has increased year by year.

This year's World Expo has just entered the preparatory stage, and the momentum shown has far surpassed that of last year.

According to data released in September by the Social Supervision Administration, which presides over the preparations for the exhibition, more than 7000 merchants have booked booths this year, greatly exceeding the 4000 households last year.The hometowns of these merchants are also all over the world, and the goods to be exhibited are as many as tens of thousands of items, which has truly reached the level of gathering and exposing all things in the world.

Due to the accumulation of experience in the past few years, although the scale of this year's World Expo is larger, the preparations for related affairs are complicated and orderly.The Social Security Administration has divided more than [-] exhibition gardens, large and small, based on regions and product categories, and the locations are distributed in various areas inside and outside Chang'an City.

Some of these exhibition gardens are arranged by the government, and some are allocated to various companies to organize themselves, and various works are in full swing.The people of Chang'an City are also paying close attention to the preparation process of the exhibition gardens, and have drawn up a ranking according to their respective scales and styles.

Among these exhibition gardens, the Fanpin Exhibition Garden at Jianfu Temple in Anrenfang is the one that has attracted the most attention.The "Fan" here is not Xifan, which is generally called the Huhu of the Western Regions, but the Tubo.

Datang had just fought against Tubo in Qinghai. The national humiliation of the past sixty years, the hearts of the people were excited and proud, and they were also full of curiosity about Tubo, a formidable enemy on the plateau. Understand what kind of enemy was stepped on under the iron heel of Datang before.

In addition, it is said that the rare treasures purchased by the family of Sanyuan Li in Longqingfang, which cost 2000 million yuan, will also be built and exhibited here.

All kinds of gimmicks that are closely related to current affairs and hot spots have made the Fanpin Exhibition Garden of Jianfu Temple far away from other exhibition gardens in terms of attention from the beginning of preparations, which can be described as the best.

It is said that in the quotation to the Social Security Administration, the price of a single booth exceeded tens of thousands of yuan. After all, the more attention it receives, the more people will see the products displayed, and they can also be sold at higher prices.When it comes to rubbing heat, the wisdom of ancient and modern times is roughly the same.

It’s just that Jianfu Temple is still closed at the moment. It is said that a tall pagoda will be built to match the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Daci’en Temple. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has only seven floors, and this new pagoda is planned to have nine floors. The first tallest tower.

Since the tower is still under construction, the preparation process for the Jianfu Temple Exhibition Garden has been slowed down, and it will not open to the public until the second half of the World Expo in mid-October.If it wasn't so, I'm afraid that the booth would be priced at hundreds of thousands of coins.

Of course, even the current price is already very astonishing.It should be noted that although the land price in Chang'an has risen year by year, it only costs a few thousand yuan to purchase a large-scale house, and the location can be selected in the best square area.

Now it's just a booth, with a radius of more than ten feet, and it's time-sensitive, so the asking price is tens of thousands, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. They only think that these wealthy businessmen are really rich.

Of course, the high price of the Jianfu Temple exhibition is due to the accumulation of various current events. There are hundreds of thousands of powerful troops from the imperial court and luxury goods worth more than 2000 million yuan.As for the rental prices of booths in other exhibition gardens, they are not too exaggerated. Most of the best exhibition gardens are in the tens of dollars.

As for some large exhibition gardens organized by the government, they are open to the public for free, but the selection of exhibits is more stringent, as long as they are selected, it means that they have sufficient quality assurance.

On the first day of October, the World Expo officially opened. Prime Minister Ge Fuyuan led officials from various departments and representatives of commercial companies to the temple to worship Guan Zi and other sages who were more than economical.

There was no such ceremony in previous years.However, with the prosperity of commerce and the surge of various commercial taxes, it has now become one of the important sources of finance for the imperial court. Of course, it is necessary to create some sense of ritual in the tradition of etiquette.

In addition to the innovation of the ceremony, in fact, the imperial court still needs to make some innovations and changes in the personnel system during the winter elections this year. In general, it is to separate finance from politics. In the future, it will form a system of three provinces and one pattern.

The three provinces are no longer the provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu in the past, but government, finance, and military.

The people did not pay much attention to the personnel reform of the imperial court. After the opening of the World Expo, they flocked to the exhibition gardens that were opened one after another to enjoy the various gifts from heaven and earth to the world, as well as the elegant demeanor of fine craftsmanship and creative power.

Among the first batch of open exhibition gardens, the most popular and largest is the Weaving Exhibition Garden organized by Shaofu Weaving and Dyeing Department.

Clothes, food, housing, transportation, and life are the four major industries. The reason why clothing ranks first is not only the basic function of sheltering from cold and heat, but also related to shame, differentiating animals, and the beauty of clothing, which is called brilliance. It is a major event that goes deep into the national genes. It is also the strength of Zhuxia Shengmin's skills.

Although flying money is prevalent nowadays, it has become the first choice for bulk business settlement.However, in the folk small business, silk money is still used in parallel.So people flocked to the weaving exhibition garden, not only to enjoy the exquisite textiles, but also to see the money.

Even if these silk brocades do not belong to me, as long as I see them piled up on the booth, I will feel a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

The weaving exhibition garden is arranged in the outer garden of the Daming Palace, covering an area of ​​more than 50 hectares and a vast area.Even so, when the park opened on the first day, there were still a lot of tourists, shoulder to shoulder.

The products on display include silk, satin, cotton yarn, brocade, silk, and silk cloth, and there are even more kinds of special fabrics produced in various states.

Among them, the fine and smooth cassocks from Hebei, the intricate patterns of Tuanjin from Central Sichuan, and the thin and transparent silk from Jiangnan, all of which are amazing. Not long after the exhibition started, luxury merchants from all over the world actively placed orders.In particular, those Hu merchants with rich pockets were even more dazzled, waving flying money bills and rushing to search and buy among the booths.

Ordinary people can't afford those high-priced exquisite fabrics, but apart from feasting their eyes, they are not without gain.In addition to the exhibition of fabric products, many new looms and weaving and dyeing techniques were displayed at the exhibition. Many women gathered here for a long time, staring wide-eyed and wanting to learn these exquisite crafts and add them to their own. Women are working.

Old-fashioned people think that the World Expo is full of material desires and resist it. This is also blinding the eyes and not understanding the general situation.In addition to displaying various commodities at the World Expo, the promotion of crafts and tools is also great.

For example, in the southeast corner of the weaving exhibition garden, a dedicated area is set up to display a complete set of hemp spinning process, and the hemp spinning craftsmen of the old clothing company will conduct a full set of demonstrations from retting to weaving.

Although linen is not a high-grade fabric, it is the most important clothing material for ordinary people, and linen is a cash crop that can be found everywhere in the countryside.

The entire process is streamlined and optimized, with clear steps, even ordinary people who don't know how to do it can understand the general idea after reading it once, and the finished product is more delicate, soft and tough.Although craftsmanship is difficult to make huge profits, small families can always improve their skills in their spare time in farming.

The Weaving Exhibition Garden attracts tens of thousands of visitors a day, and the food garden led by Guanglu Temple is equally popular.Food and sex are the great desires of a living person. On top of a full stomach, there is also the pursuit of not getting tired of eating.

Originally, the food garden organized by Guanglu Temple was arranged in Da'an Square in the south of the city. Yong'an Qu Linfang passed by here, but before the opening of the World Expo, the venue of the exhibition garden was overwhelmed by merchants who requested booths. We could choose another location, and arranged part of the venue near the West Neiyuan in the north of Taiji Palace.

When the park opened, the people were enthusiastic again, and the two parks were almost overcrowded, so that the officials of Guanglu had to stay in town all day long, and even sent troops from the Beijing camp to strengthen the defense, which showed the power of the foodies in Chang'an City.

The people's pursuit of delicious food has greatly increased the workload of Guanglu officials.The newly appointed members Wai Shaoqing and Linzi Wang Li Longji had barely had time to get familiar with their duties, so they devoted themselves to their busy affairs. They were arranged to sit in the North Park outside the West Neiyuan all day, and they didn't even have time to go home to rest.

"Xu Shaoqing is indeed a meticulous and capable minister. The rules and regulations he customized are detailed and orderly, which greatly saves the complicated process."

Although it looked very busy, the things that the King of Linzi needed to do were also very simple. He only needed to sit in the straight hall and approve the documents submitted by his subordinates, and naturally someone would arrange and deal with them.And the person who drew up all these procedures was Xu Junchen, another Guanglu Shaoqing whom the King of Linzi wanted to befriend.

No one dislikes such a shrewd and capable colleague, so when Li Longji saw that his subordinates shuttled around inside and outside, but he was able to relax in the straight hall, he couldn't help but praised the colleague who had only seen him before. Colleagues not many times.

"But Xu Shaoqing's story is messy, and his character can never be called noble. In his early years, he was tortured and imprisoned, and he ate human flesh and blood to make him fat. Your Majesty should be more cautious when communicating with him!"
