Chen Qing gave Fusu a wink with a fierce look on his face.
"Sir, merchants are also common people, so don't be too demanding."
Fusu persuaded implicitly.
Chen Qing nodded, but didn't take it seriously.
Not long after, the waiter brought an unremarkable little old man into the hall.
Wu Shiluo is about 50 to [-] years old, not tall, looks thin and short, and is very plainly dressed.
If he didn't know his identity, he would probably be regarded as an honest little landlord in the countryside.
"Xiaomin sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I've seen Leihuo Division Chen Shaofu."
Without saying a word, Wu Shiluo bowed and saluted.
"Exemption."
When Fusu saw his appearance, he couldn't help but burst out with compassion.
"cough."
Chen Qing coughed lightly, reminding him not to be troublesome.
"Wu Luo, do you know why His Highness the Crown Prince summoned you to Xianyang all the way?"
"The little guy doesn't know."
"Well, you are very stubborn."
"The villain is guilty."
Wu Zhiluo knelt down on the ground, trembling as if he had been frightened.
Fu Su winked at Chen Qing again and again, signaling him to restrain himself.
Chen Qing sighed helplessly.
You just saw him trembling, didn't you see that his eyes remained unwavering?
It's all for you to see, my silly uncle!
"Wu Luo, a native of Wuzhi County, Beidi County, Rong nationality."
"laugh."
Chen Qingmei laughed: "I just can't figure it out, you don't even have a surname, and you are not of Chinese Miao descent, how dare you travel outside the territory in the name of Daqin officials and businessmen?!"
"Did you eat the bear heart and leopard gall?!"
"Come on!"
He looked fierce and waved his hand.
"Young Master Chen, please spare me!"
Wu Luo shook his head like a sieve, and raised his head pitifully: "The villain asked for the official document from the county, but the county guard nodded and agreed, and the villain acted in the name of the government."
"Beidi County is a territory belonging to the Great Qin. There are so many outside the region that cannot be distinguished. It is not wrong to say that it is the official business of the Great Qin."
Chen Qing was furious: "The thief dares to quibble!"
"Chen Shaofu calm down."
"The villain already knows his mistake."
Wu Luohe even begged for mercy: "Beidi County is remote and remote, and the villain is ignorant and ignorant of court rules. Please forgive me, Your Highness and Young Master Chen."
"Forgiveness?"
"Do you know how big a mistake you made?"
Chen Qing stared angrily.
"The villain knows that the crime is serious, so he is willing to use his shallow family wealth to pay for one or two."
"Your Highness, please forgive the villain for the sake of the Wu family's hard work and donating tens of thousands of cattle, horses and livestock to the army over the years."
Wu Luo bowed deeply to Fusu.
"U..."
"I don't know where your shallow wealth is?"
Just as Fusu was about to speak, he was interrupted by Chen Qing.
For example, the Zhuo family and the Cheng family are all well-known wealthy merchants in Bashu, but they are more expensive than the other.
Wu Luo is obviously also familiar with such tricks, whoever believes is foolish.
"The villain brought a gift list."
"Please take a look at it, Your Highness."
Wu Luochong gestured to the attendant behind him, who immediately bowed and handed a thick bundle of sheepskin scrolls to the attendant of Yichun Palace.
After Fusu got it, he put it on the case table and watched it with Chen Qing.
The two of them didn't care about the polite words at the beginning, and looked directly at the text.
"One hundred thousand steers, fifty thousand horses, and three hundred thousand sheep?"
After reading the first three columns, Chen Qing couldn't help but gasp.
How much money does Wu Luo have?
Nima's [-] cows!
Is this still called shallow wealth?
"Ten dendrobium pearls, two thousand gemstones of various colors."
"Eight hundred rare treasures from the Western Regions, and five thousand altars of fine wine."
"120 Meiji..."
Chen Qing's breathing became more and more rapid.
Just after reading the beginning, the astronomical wealth has already made him dizzy.
Incredible!
I'm afraid Wu Luo has made a lot of money in recent years.
This fellow is as rich as an enemy!
Fusu carefully read the gift list, raised his head and looked deeply at Wu Luo.
Judging people by their appearance is the lost son Yu.
Sure enough, the sage spoke a little bit of righteousness, he underestimated this honest businessman too much!
"The villain doesn't know what to do?"
"If His Highness is still angry, the villain will be willing even if he loses all his family resources."
Wu Luo lowered his head deeply, and said unhurriedly.
"Wuzhi is dedicated to the country and serves the country wholeheartedly. What is the crime?"
"I was just joking with you, why did the old man take it seriously?"
Chen Qing stepped forward to help Wu Luo up, "Come and sit here."
"The old man bumped all the way, it was really hard work."
"Serve tea, serve good tea!"
He turned back and yelled at the waiter.
Wu Luo's expression was stiff, and he refused again and again: "You villain, a country pariah, how dare you sit with His Highness and adults."
Chen Qing's face suddenly changed: "Who dares to say you are a pariah? This official will not be the first to spare him!"
"Isn't it just a surname!"
He patted his chest: "The big deal is that you have the same surname as me, I'm the judge."
Wu Luo's expression twisted: "This..."
Chen Qing persuaded: "Your Majesty rules the world, and all the people of Great Qin will be treated equally."
"The Rong people and the Qin people lived together in the land of Qinchuan. After thousands of years, they have long been like brothers in robes."
Not only Wu Luo felt embarrassed, but even Fu Su felt embarrassed.
The old Qin people and the Rong people fought to the death for hundreds of years.
It wasn't until the Qin State established the ownership of this land that the Rong people completely surrendered.
'Sir, your attitude has changed too quickly, hasn't it? '
'Your Highness, he has given too much. '
Chen Qing and Fu Su secretly winked.
"Mr. Wu, please sit down."
Under Chen Qing's repeated persuasion, Wu Luo carefully sat at the corner of the table, and consciously leaned back half a body.
The waiter offered him a teacup, and he took it with both hands, nodding his thanks again and again.
"Mr. Wu, you have come from a long way, and you still offer such a generous gift."
"I don't know what to ask for?"
Chen Qing looked at the other party cautiously.
"How dare a villain expect too much!"
"I just ask His Highness and Chen Shaofu to forgive the villain's crimes, and then the Wu family can do business with peace of mind."
"There are so many rare treasures outside the territory, the villain must enshrine them every year, and dare not forget the grace of tolerance from His Highness and Your Excellency."
Wu Luo bowed to the bottom and said sincerely.
The corner of Chen Qing's mouth could not help showing a sneer.
The free ones are the most expensive ones, and if you don’t ask for anything, you will have a big picture!
From the moment he got the gift list, Chen Qing guessed that Wu Luo most likely wanted to be a serious official and businessman in the imperial court, and he was right!
"His Royal Highness is in charge of the business affairs of the world. At this time, His Highness only needs to nod."
"However... I also have something to do, and I want to ask Mr. Wu for help."
Chen Qing said slowly.
"My lord, please just say it."
"Wu Zhi will try his best to do it for the adults."
Wu Luo suppressed his excitement and nodded cheerfully.
"His Highness deeply feels that the imperial court's finances are chaotic, and there are many omissions."
"Therefore, I want to establish a financial institution called a bank..."
Chen Qing's predator-like expression made Wu Luo's heart skip a beat.
Could it be that [-]% of the Wu family's wealth can't satisfy his appetite?
"Old Mr. Wu, why do you look frightened?"
"His Royal Highness is unparalleled in benevolence, will he still harm you?"
Chen Qing reprimanded displeasedly.
"The villain has no such intentions."
Wu Luo hurriedly lowered his head, thinking: His Royal Highness won't cheat me, but you, a treacherous official, can't say it!
