Chapter 23: 23
Sun Wanping, a 16- year- an old young man famous for being the joyful young master of the Shenzhou Capital City, was nicknamed the young master very much. There are many legends about this person.
At the same age as the Four Princes of Great Zhou Province, we have the same teacher. Since then, Sun Wanping has become a friend of the prince, Zhao Ling Xin.
As if fortunes were reversed, the Fourth Prince never tended to become an heir. However, the first emperor ordered the fourth prince to reign as the next Emperor. Since then, Sun Wanping has gained a new status as the Emperor's friend.
Shortly after the Emperor ascended the throne, the Emperor was chancellor in control of the land. Hanging the Emperor as a puppet
Zhao Ling Xin has scouted for the family will support him. At that moment, Sun Wanping decided to bet on the Emperor. Bring all the spirit stones to the Emperor.
The Sun Clan was one of the top ten famous families in the capital. Known as a merchant, the Sun family held the tail of the Third Prince Sun Wanping's actions were things that the family had never known before.
Sun Wanping's decision to bet it all was a success.
Zhao Lingxin completely wiped out the nobles. That rumored action trembled throughout the capital. Even Sun Wanping did not expect the Emperor to do so correctly.
The Emperor did not forget his help. Appoint Sun Wanping as Minister of Economy and Trade
This is the equivalent of Lord's tingle of Su (chancellor) men's young age, the 16 -year tenure at this level in history, never appeared before the Emperor's seven-year-old has ever had then, but the Duchy of Massa in Zurich at the age of 16. The year almost shook the land. Sun Wanping's name quickly spread across the Great Da Zhou land.
However, Sun Wanping's life was not very happy. He was the Minister of Economy and Trade, a position the Emperor had created. Every time a ministerial meeting took place, Sun Wanping could only stare at the report papers and listen to the other Minister's fierce debate.
Sun Wanping listened until his head exploded. He admitted that listening to these ministers did not know anything. He was challenging to understand vocabulary many strange laws fearsome pit fire that never appeared before on the Yan Huang Continent.
When there is a resolution to approve any law, he can only agree and not dare to argue. This made Sun Wanping a minister who had no right to speak at the meeting. Even the Secretary-General Qin Bo had a more significant role than him.
Sun Wanping had a private conversation with the prince Zhao Ling Xin. Then ask the Emperor that what is his role for.
"Your duty is to control the trade and economy of the Great Da Zhou Empire, and this is only your duty."
A simple word, but hard to do. Sun Wanping knew that the state of the capital was too dire. Wiping out high-ranking nobles, the merchants dared not to trade in the city, avoiding striking acts, not making the Emperor feel offended.
Also, in the cabinet meeting, people often ask him what the GDP figures are. What percentage of trade is growing?
Sun Wanping was silent, unable to answer. Made him feel unworthy of the ministerial position Every day, Sun Wanping always walked dejectedly from the palace, not daring to look at other people. He is only responsible for raising the hand to draft the meeting through the resolution of the meeting.
Certification Education Act until after Zhao Ling Xin had called him in a private meeting.
"Your Majesty needs a lot of spirit stones? "Sun Wanping asked curiously.
"Yes, I don't just need a lot of spirit stones. I also want a lot of merchants to invest in the capital. "
Zhao Ling Xin said.
The spirit stone in Zhao Ling Xin's hand was no longer left. But he still needed a lot of spirit stones to develop the capital. He could no longer use the same methods of robbing other people's treasures. He needed to build confidence in the empire and only do it peacefully. So he delegated this task to Sun Wanping.
"If His Highness wants it, then you can trust me. I will not let you down, "Sun Wanping said farewell to Zhao Ling Xin then returned to his homes quickly.
The Sun Clan Main Mansion was in the nobility area, which was the few houses spared from Zhao Lingxin's sequester. In the current Sun Clan chief Sun Yuan, Sun Wanping's father is sitting and pouring tea for his son.
Sun Yuan, the head of the Sun family. He had been in business all his life and had only one son, which disappointed him. Sun Wanping made himself happily indifferent to the family affairs. Causing Sun Yuan to suffer to death until recently, as if Sun Wanping, his son, was already too high rank for his father. The son now has a status equivalent to the noble chancellor, a father, shall rejoice in his heart.
At the same time, it caused great distress to the father, Sun Yuan. The Sun family gave life on the same side as the three princes of Tongzhou, but his son was appointed Minister.
What would the Third Prince think? Even a foolish person could believe. This time, his family, merchants, and shops in Guangzhou had been looking down on Third Prince.
And the Sun family has been eliminated from the city administration committee. It was clear that the Third Prince was convinced that the Sun Clan had betrayed them.
These things would cause the reputation of the Sun Clan. From now on, they could only cling to the Emperor's legs tightly because no one would trust him anymore.
Sun Yuan's heart was as if someone had cut by a knife and pierced his heart. The Sun Family had invested a lot in the Third Prince in exchange for the Third Prince's void and wrath. If Sun Yuan had foreseen the future, he would have thrown all the money into the Emperor.
Even though the Emperor's situation is not so good, He was in the middle of the Civil War, surrounded by three princes. The Sun Family did not have a choice anymore. Can only jump into a hole to join the death with the emperor
"You can come home today. There must be a big deal." Sun Wanping often resides in a place of worship. Today the other party came home to talk to himself, something strange in ten years. Sun Yuan, like an old fox, definitely thought that his son had an appeal to himself.
"Father, do not speak such a distant person. The child has always been grateful to his father. I want to come and serve, Inquiring about what your health is like," Sun Wanping said in a soft tone.
"You don't have to be conscientious to waste time. Have something to say." Sun Yuan quickly cut off Sun Wanping's words.
"Sun Yuan, the head of the Sun Clan As the Minister of the Empire, you must obey my orders."
When the other party said not to embrace, Sun Wanping was not afraid. Raising his status to suppress his father Minister's position, even Sun Yuan had to bow and talk politely if it were before. But if the other person is his child, the story is inverted.
Sun Yuan was furious, and this unloving child dared to take his position to abuse his father.
"An ungrateful child dares to persecute his father. I will teach you today," Sun Yuan said with an angry expression. Searching for objects around him, trying to pick up anything to teach this poor son.
"Father, calm down first. This time I have a government mission to come and discuss with you," Sun Wanping said in a severe tone.
Sun Yuan, who had heard Sun Wanping's voice, realized that the other party had important things to discuss with him. Therefore laid out the posture and then said
"You have something to say. As your father, I'll help you. "
"Father Emperor needs a large number of spirit stones; where could we gather them?" Asked Sun Wanping.
"Spirit stone like that? Our clan also has many of them, and if the Emperor wants it, the Sun Clan can offer him.
Since the Emperor spoke, Sun Yuan was able to give his support. When embarking on the same boat, he would do his best to help with the Emperor's orders.
"Father, our family's spirit stone is not enough; the emperor wants a lot," said Sun Wanping.
Sun Yuan, who had heard this, slightly frowned. However, he didn't know why the Emperor wanted so many spirit stones. But he pondered a little before saying.
"Since our family does not have spirit stones enough, We will continue to seek support from the rest of the Imperial family. I can call a meeting with those people if you have a plan or not," Sun Yuan said.
What Sun Wanping wanted was his father's broad connection. When they come together, they plan to deal with it successfully. Zhao LingXin explains agreements with merchants to him.
This was the Emperor's test of whether Sun Wanping deserves to be the next Minister. If baking is done, Sun Wanping served as a minister following the failure Zhao Lingxin will be relocated to other positions Sun Wanping.
"Father, don't worry, I already have a plan to support it," replied Sun Wanping.
"You have to be careful, these merchants are very cunning, and they can't easily talk," Sun Yuan said, concerned.
"Father, can you proceed in a hurry?" Sun Wanping hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I will send them an appointment letter inviting them to come over and have some tea," Sun Yuan assured.
