Seeing Su Wen rolling all over the ground, Su Changqing was furious. He looked at Su Cheng and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you want to fight with your brother? Why is your brother your opponent?"

Su Cheng was helpless, facing such rogue behavior, Su Cheng said angrily: "He is just pretending!"

It's a pity that Su Changqing didn't listen to him at all, and angrily said: "Your brother is in such pain, can it be pretending? Get out of here quickly! I don't want to see you!"

Su Cheng glanced at Su Wen angrily, turned his head and left.

Watching Su Cheng leave, Su Changqing sighed and said, "Get up, there is no need to act!"

Su Wen got up from the ground immediately, and said with a smile, "Isn't this just to save you trouble?"

Su Changqing naturally knew that by doing this, Su Wen would save him a lot of talking.

The father and son sat back on their chairs.

Su Changqing said: "I already know, His Majesty has given you an errand. The deputy of the Dongcheng patrol office, from the fifth grade."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Wen and asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

Su Wen was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Su Changqing asked about this matter, after thinking about it, he said honestly: "Yes!"

Su Changqing sighed and said: "You hid it deep enough, but you shouldn't hide it from me. If you enter the palace today, His Majesty may find out, otherwise he won't give you an official position out of thin air. Your Majesty is not the kind who would joke about official business. people."

Su Wen scratched his head, this was something he didn't expect.

"Then what should I do now?"

Su Wen was a little uncertain about this matter.

Su Changqing looked at him and said seriously: "Business must be done well. Our Majesty can ignore some of your details, but if you can't do your job well, then he won't be polite. Especially since you have entered the His eyes are on him, and if he does not work hard on purpose, he may think that you are deceiving him, and at that time, maybe he will use some tricks on you."

"Co-author, our Majesty likes to wear small shoes for people!" Su Wen complained.

Su Changqing nodded and said, "That's right! And he always thinks he's generous."

Speaking of this, Su Wen suddenly asked: "Father, how much money does our family have?"

Su Changqing looked at him suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm curious, after all, you are the number one corrupt official in the Great Zhou, and I want to fight that Xue Meng for wealth, so I have to have a bottom line." Su Wen laughed.

Su Changqing shook his head and said: "People in the world only know that I am greedy, but they don't know that I never extract benefits from the common people. As for the officials, they just don't refuse gifts, and the official business is still open. It is because of this that your father and I can stand tall. As for our family’s money, it’s not all from greed.”

"Huh?" This was beyond Su Wen's expectation.

Su Changqing said: "In fact, our family has a fixed caravan. It goes south with the imperial ship and passes through Nanyang to do business. This ocean business is the most profitable, and it also trades with northern Xinjiang all the year round. Many industries in this city are also owned by our family. For example, our family accounts for 30% of the gambling houses in the city. After you go to Dongcheng to patrol, remember to protect your own property."

Su Wen really doesn't know where his family's money comes from. These things are all taken care of by Su Changqing.

However, he also knew that Su Changqing's rights must have played a big role in these commercial actions.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about maritime merchants. Ocean merchants have extremely high requirements for ships. The ships of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all built by spiritual masters. Ordinary merchants can’t get decent sea ships. Even if they go to sea, they are largely costly. no return.

The combination of power and commerce will create a certain degree of monopoly.

Therefore, officials in modern society are not allowed to do business.

But in this world, the degree of social evolution is far from reaching that level.

There is more than one official businessman in the DPRK and China.

The combination of government and business has allowed Su Changqing to gather a lot of wealth.

"As for how much money you have, I really don't know. Anyway, you won't be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes. You probably won't be worse than the Xue family. So you can use our family's money openly and fight openly."

Su Wen asked curiously, "Then why do everyone say you are an adulterer?"

Su Changqing said as a matter of course: "Because I earn a lot, others are jealous and can't rob me, so naturally they won't have any good things to say. They will say that I compete with the people for profit and I am greedy. There are too many people who say this. There will be more people, everyone naturally thinks so, but even if I give up the share of these businesses, it will not fall into the hands of the common people, it will just be managed by a rich man."

After finishing speaking, Su Changqing looked at Su Wen and said with a teasing smile: "You don't think that I, a dignified prime minister, would go greedy for the little money from the common people, do you? I have such great power, where can I not get money?"

Man, this is so real.

"Then have you told your eldest brother about these things?" Su Wen was a little puzzled.

Su Changqing sighed and said: "Of course I said it, but in Su Cheng's eyes, your father and I accept gifts from others, it is corruption, and doing business is to compete with the people for profit, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the government is complicated and changing. It’s the prime minister, and sometimes I have to make compromises.”

Su Wen probably understood.

To put it bluntly, Su Cheng is an idealist born in a honeypot. In his eyes, money is a burden.

Lao Zhou quickly found a house in Dongcheng, and bought a large house for five hundred taels of silver.

I bought some maidservants, servants.

When Yan Luoying came to the door of her new house, Lao Zhou had already prepared firecrackers.

Yan Luoying smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing with firecrackers?"

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "It's a happy housewarming, it must be lively."

After all, the firecrackers were lit, and when the firecrackers went off, all the neighbors came out to watch the fun, and they all knew that a new family had moved here.

At the East City Patrol Office, a group of people gathered together to discuss how to deal with this newcomer.

"The official document has arrived, ordering Yan Luoying, the daughter of Yan Ze, to go to the capital to serve as the guard of the East City, and Su Wen, the son of Prime Minister Su Changqing, to be the deputy guard. She will take up the post tomorrow." A man said in a deep voice.

In this patrol office, generally speaking, there is one guard and three deputy guards. Each deputy guard has five teams of two hundred people each.

Responsible for the security and arrest of the entire east city of Kyoto.

In Kyoto, it is an official position the size of an ant, but when placed on the people, this authority is not small.

Now here are the remaining two deputy guards and fifteen captains of the patrol office.

The one who spoke was Wen Jinming, one of the two deputy guards.

He is an old man in the patrol office.

For him, he is very satisfied with his current position,

After all, although the Deputy Guard of the Patrol Office is just a big official position, it is a real oil and water department.

He continued: "When the new guard takes office, I don't know if the rules will change, but I'm here to tell everyone that if the new guard speaks loudly, we can't agree to it, and no one can persuade him. "

A team leader couldn't help but said: "Brother Wen, this is not something we should love or not. After all, the first rank of the official rank crushes someone to death. She is still Yan Ze's daughter, so we can't afford to mess with her."
