After An Zhongyi finished speaking, he lowered his head quietly and waited.
After a long while, the emperor's laughter could be heard from above. "Well, well, well, you are indeed worthy of my loyalty. You are truly loyal to me. As you said, the whole world belongs to the king. Loyalty, my private treasury depends entirely on you."
Although the emperor was extremely rich, all the money could only be collected in the national treasury. The emperor could not use it casually whenever he wanted. Only the private treasury belonged to him.
This gift from An Zhongyi touched his heart. It enriched his private treasury and he didn't have to worry about being accused of competing with the people for profit. After all, An Zhongyi was the one in the front, and if anyone wanted to scold someone, it would be An Zhongyi.
The emperor, who originally had a hint of murderous intent, now felt reluctant to let the other person die.
An Zhongyi was loyal to him and was able to make money. Although the other party secretly withheld some of the money, it was because he turned a blind eye.
The bulk of the profits are in his hands, so he doesn't mind giving some things to the people below him. An Zhongyi is just a eunuch. If he is not allowed to be greedy for money, how can An Zhongyi be loyal to him?
He gave An Zhongyi power and money in order to make him loyal to him.
Facts proved that he was right. An Zhongyi was indeed loyal to him. He helped him eliminate many stubborn people in the court and helped him regain the imperial power.
It’s just a pity, how come she already has a son?
Can a eunuch with a son still have such pure thoughts?
After An Zhongyi left, the emperor sat in the palace muttering to himself.
"I didn't expect this little beggar to have some intelligence, but it's a pity that he is ultimately not presentable."
If the other party could write poems and articles, he would still look at him differently. But he was just doing business. What's the point of making a lot of money?
…
Su Jiangtao stayed at home for half a month to recuperate from his injuries, and was then confined to his home for three months.
During these three months, he carefully recalled the past ten years of his life. He had lived a life of luxury and had no worries about food and clothing. Although there were many high-ranking officials in the capital, ever since his uncle became the Minister of Justice and clung to An Zhongyi's thigh, fewer and fewer dared to provoke him.
He became more and more courageous from being cautious at first.
After coming back this time, Su Jiangtao thought about it and found that he could not rely on his uncle.
If he wants to get close to someone, An Zhongyi's thighs are the thickest now, and he can't get close to him. But if he can't get close to An Zhongyi, can't he follow An Jingzhi?
After waiting for several days, I finally met An Jingzhi at the door of the restaurant where they were causing trouble.
An Jingzhi was wearing a fox fur coat. He went out today to check on the situation at the construction site. When he passed by a restaurant, he wanted to have a meal before going home.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Su Jiangtao. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why? Are you here to seek revenge on me?"
Su Jiangtao took two steps forward happily and shook his head quickly, "Mr. An, you're joking. I'm not here to seek revenge on you."
An Jingzhi glanced at him, walked into the restaurant, and called a private room. "Then tell me what you are here for."
Su Jiangtao followed closely, "I," he looked around and gritted his teeth, "I want to hang out with Master An."
An Jingzhi looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that he was a man of insight and wisdom. Was he adhering to the principle of joining the enemy if he couldn't beat them?
"What are you doing? I don't need anyone to follow me. Tell me how I can help you." If there is any work, the guards of the Eastern Depot can do it. If he really can't do it, he will ask his father who can definitely get it done.
"I..." Su Jiangtao was speechless. He thought for a long time but couldn't utter a word. It seemed that the other party didn't need him to do anything.
Suddenly, Su Jiangtao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to An Jingzhi, "My cousin! He's a businessman, mainly doing business with foreigners. If you want a tall and handsome foreign horse, Brother Jing, I can help you get it."
An Jingzhi looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would have this clue.
The people of the Central Plains and the people of the grasslands have been fighting for thousands of years. Although the Central Plains is rich, its horses are far inferior to those of the grasslands. The horses of the grasslands are not only tall and majestic, but also have endurance and speed far superior to those of the Central Plains.
But in fact, when it comes to the battlefield, the horses ridden by the grassland people are not the tall and majestic horses, but rather some short horses. Everyone thinks that the tall and majestic horses are the most powerful. In fact, the best horses are those that are shorter in size but have good endurance. They are the favorites of the grassland cavalry. They can gallop long distances, have speed and endurance.
Some people in the Central Plains do not know the reason and just think that the taller the horse on the grassland, the better.
Most of the horses that can be traded are tall and strong. Although they are better than the horses in the Central Plains, they are very limited.
An Jingzhi also knew this. It was the same ancient world, the same Central Plains and grasslands. Even if there were slight differences, the overall situation remained unchanged, such as horses.
If the other party really has a way to get horses from the grassland, it would be worth discussing.
"Eat first."
This matter is not suitable to be discussed here.
Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Su Jiangtao thought that he was persuaded and was happy. He kept talking about how handsome the horse his cousin had exchanged on the grassland was and how the people on the grassland smelled bad.
An Jingzhi had a headache. He didn't expect Su Jiangtao to be such a chatterbox. "Shut up."
Seeing An Jingzhi speak, Su Jiangtao smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to continue.
After finishing the meal, An Jingzhi wiped his mouth. The other party looked at him eagerly, "Okay, since you are willing, you can follow me from now on. Find some time to find your cousin and ask him to come see me."
Su Jiangtao was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
As long as he hooks up with An Jingzhi, he will be able to walk around freely when he goes out even without relying on his uncle!
…
Upon learning that An Zhongyi's son wanted to see him, Su Jiangtao's cousin Su Ning was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Suning quickly grabbed the other person's sleeve and asked him to tell him the whole story.
"If Master An wants to buy a grassland horse, Eunuch An can also buy it easily, so why does he need me?"
Su Jiangtao said indifferently, "Uncle, why do you think so much? Just do whatever Master An asks you to do when you get there. This is a great opportunity. I thought of you first. Now that you have Master An's connection, who will dare to bully you? Your business will grow bigger and bigger!"
Su Ning rolled his eyes at him. If this wasn't his nephew, he would have strangled him to death.
The reason why Suning was able to expand his business and even trade with the grassland people without anyone daring to stop him was not only because of the power of his relatives and family. If he himself was a waste, no one would be able to help him.
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. I didn't dare to refuse, so I could only make an appointment with the other party to see what they wanted to do.
"Please help me make an appointment with Mr. An." Su Ning said to Su Jiangtao unhappily.
