But think about it, Sun Kejian was promoted by Your Majesty after all, and he is also the cousin of the Empress Dowager, so he has to meet him.
So after careful consideration, he let the other party in.
"Your humble servant Sun Kejian greets Lord Song."
Soon, Sun Kejian walked in. He looked a little haggard, and he had a shifty look. Even though he was wearing an official robe, he looked unpleasant no matter how you looked at him.
Song Gongwen was a scholar, and he usually came into contact with great scholars like Zhang Zhengming.
Seeing each other, brows can not help but furrow?
?? frowned tightly.
Of course, he still had to put on a show, so he stood up and said, "It's you, Lord Sun. I wonder what brings you here?"
Having said that, he felt that Sun Kejian must have come to establish connections.
After all, all businessmen have this characteristic.
Take how to become the Minister of Revenue for example.
He had heard rumors that it was because of his eloquence and ability to please the emperor, coupled with his relationship with the Queen Mother, that he got this position.
Sun Kejian lived up to expectations. He immediately smiled and said respectfully, "I heard that the minister has collected all the accounts today. I thought that there are so many accounts that you must not be able to read them all, so I prepared to see if there is anything I can help you with."
As expected, he is so eloquent that he can even come up with such a reason.
Upon hearing this, Song Gongwen felt helpless.
The issue of money is already a headache enough.
Now Sun Kejian has come to his side. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Don't worry, Lord Sun. I can still handle these things."
After saying that, he turned his back.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a sign of sending the guests away.
But unfortunately, Sun Kejian grew up in a wealthy family and it was difficult for him to understand these things.
So he took a step forward and said, "No, I must help you. You have worked so hard, Lord."
"When I came in just now, I saw that you looked very worried. You must have run into trouble. Please talk to me. I may be able to help you!"
Can you help?
Just don't cause me any trouble.
Although you have not been in the capital for long, who in the court doesn't know your name?
There are even rumors that the reason you, Sun Kejian, came to the capital was because you suffered losses in business and were afraid of being punished by the head of the Sun family and the elders, so you came here to seek refuge.
Now, you still want to help me?
Can't help it.
Song Gongwen smiled and continued to shake his head, saying, "There's nothing I can do to help you. Just go about your business."
"But I have nothing to do," Sun Kejian said. "Your Majesty said before that after I take up my post at the Ministry of Revenue, I'll wait for you to arrange specific matters. Now that I see you're worried, I naturally have to step forward."
"So, Lord Song, please don't be polite. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely be able to handle it."
Do you think I'm being polite?
Hearing this, Song Gongwen suddenly became a little impatient and said, "Well, since you want to help, I won't hide it anymore."
"I believe you should be aware that the imperial court is about to launch military operations against the grasslands and Gaoyang Kingdom. To sustain the war between the two places, we must have sufficient silver, otherwise we will starve and freeze on the front line."
"The problem now is that the bank deposits at the Ministry of Revenue have bottomed out and can't sustain it for three months."
"You should think of a way for me to get enough silver!"
After saying that, he stared at the other person closely.
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
joke.
What can you do when even you, your teacher, and other ministers have difficulty solving the problem?
At this moment, he could already foresee that the other party would give up.
"So that's what you're worried about, Lord, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
At this time, Sun Kejian heard this and immediately said with a smile: "The silver issue is actually very easy to solve."
The money issue is easy to resolve...
After these words were spoken, Song Gongwen's mouth twitched and his face remained expressionless.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the Queen Mother's cousin, I would have kicked him out on the spot.
But he also knew that he couldn't do that, so he just chuckled and said, "Oh? It seems that Lord Sun has already come up with a solution. Very good. Then tell me, how do you solve the silver issue?"
At this moment, Song Gongwen had already made a decision. If the other party could not make sense or was talking nonsense.
Even if he was Empress Dowager Sun's cousin, he had to be driven out.
Then write a memorial to Your Majesty.
Remove the other party from his position!
"In fact, I have been thinking about this problem these days, but it is difficult to explain how to solve it." Sun Kejian smiled and said, "It just so happens that before I came to the capital, I wrote down two methods on how to make money."
"If these two methods were applied to my family, it would be difficult to implement because I am not qualified. But if the Ministry of Revenue and the imperial court were to do it, it would be perfect."
After saying that, he took out a thick book from his arms and presented it to him.
Especially his movements, he was very careful, afraid of breaking it.
In fact, the reason why Sun Kejian wanted to be an official.
I just feel that only in the court can I display my talents.
The Sun family's assets seemed large, but they had too many limitations, so coming to the capital to seek an official position was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
In particular, his main purpose of meeting Song Gongwen this time was indeed for this purpose.
Coincidentally, the other party happened to encounter the corresponding problem.
But Song Gongwen heard this.
I was speechless immediately.
How powerful is the Sun family in Yan area?
Especially when it comes to family business, I'm afraid only the big families in Jiangnan can rival it, but as you said, there are businesses that the Sun family can't do.
