Zhao Guangmei’s suggestion was so obvious, so Pan Mei and Yang Ye naturally fell in love with her, kowtowed and became sworn brothers, Pan Mei was thirty-five and Yang Ye was thirty-eight, so Pan Mei became the eldest brother and Yang Ye became the second brother.

Swedish among soldiers has become popular for the Five Dynasties. After all, dynasty changes are the norm, and generals also need to join forces to protect themselves. Zhao Kuangyin himself is a sworn madman, and the most famous one is the ten brothers of the Yishe Society. Besides these nine, even Zhao Guangmei can't figure out how many there are. There are many, and the imperial guards are all over the top and bottom.

Therefore, although both of them met for the first time, they were not resentful of swornship. After all, they were all hang out with Zhao Guangmei. They were knocking on the ground and stood up and called you big brother. I called you second brother. I immediately felt that this person was kind and pleasing to the eyes.

"Your Highness, then what are we doing now?"

"Now, I have to raise funds first."

"Fundraising?"

"Just make money."

"It's for money..."

"Build a pergola. Zhao Pu's stingy spirit actually gave me only 4,000 guan. I can repair it for 4,000 guan. That's a pergola of 100,000 people. If he doesn't give it money, then I can only find money by myself."

Yang Ye and Pan Mei were confused.

Isn’t four thousand silos of a pergola enough?

This is you. It would be great if Zhao Pu could give two thousand guan.

Sure enough, you are not trying to repair the pergola at all.

With these two people following, Zhao Guangmei simply didn't even bring her guards. The three of them walked on the street. Along the way, Zhao Guangmei bought some breakfast. The two of them didn't know what he was going to do, and they didn't dare to ask, and just followed them silently.

When they arrived at Mafang Street, Zhao Guangmei saw a sign of "Sun Ji Silk and Satin Shop", and Zhao Guangmei walked in directly.

"Objectively, do you buy silk?"

"Is Manager Sun here? Please inform me and ask him to come to see me. My name is Zhao Guangmei."

"Qin...King of Qin?"

The worker was startled and then rushed to pass it. After a while, a slightly fat man in silk trotted down from the building. When he saw it, he gave a big tribute in panic.

"The villain did not know that His Highness had arrived, and he would be in a position to welcome him. I would forgive him for his sins and forgive him for his sins."

He and Zhao Guangmei have really met him. He was the leader when he forced Han Tong to surrender a few months ago.

While speaking, the shop's worker had the sensibility and quickly invited other customers in the store to leave, and a sign that was suspended was also hung at the door.

"What's your name for Manager Sun?"

"I'm Sun Liancheng."

"Okay, good name."

While speaking, Zhao Guangmei took out a paper from her arms and asked the work in the store to grind the ink for herself. Then she picked up a pen and wrote Sun Liancheng's name on the paper, and said with a smile: "I am now opening a government office. I think you are a talented person in the shopkeeper Sun, and I intend to recruit you to be my secretary. This is a document, do you think you will do it?"

Sun Liancheng's eyes were glaring out: "I? Secretary-General? Oh... this... I'm just a seller of silk!"

Pan Mei and Yang Ye who were following him were also shocked and looked at each other with shock, and felt unreality for a moment.

Secretary in charge.

He is not a high-ranking official, but he is not an absolute confidant, so let's put it that way, Zhao Pu was the chief secretary of Zhao Kuangyin before.

They really couldn't figure out why they wanted to be Zhao Guangmei's ministers. Zhao Guangmei didn't want it, but she actually gave this precious opportunity that many people could not even grab, and gave an unknown shopkeeper.

Aren't you going to compete for the deposit?!

"What? Manager Sun thinks that the official I gave you is a little bitch and feels that he is not happy to do it?"

Sun Liancheng then recovered and said repeatedly: "Ah no, I must not. I dare not. It is an honor for Your Highness to fall in love with a villain. The villain is just a merchant. I really don't know, Your Highness, what do you like with a villain? Where can you help Your Highness?"

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said, "First of all, I naturally fell in love with your ability. I heard that you were a friend of this silk business. Because of your ability, you were recruited by the old shopkeeper to be a son-in-law. Later, you gradually gained the power of this silk business. In ten years, a grassroots with no background actually developed this silk business into the largest silk business in Kaifeng. And no one in Kaifeng knows that you can get a lot of Shu brocade and Tang brocade in this silk business, which means that you have a way in Southern Tang and Later Shu. Isn't this skill? In the past few decades of chaos, you can stay in this silk business and go through several dynasties. Is this ability really worse than the ministers in the court?"

"Secondly, what I want to do is different from ordinary people. Alas, my elder brother is biased. He gave the official positions of Kaifeng Prefecture and the Duke of Yu in front of the palace to my second brother. He didn't give me any real power. If I want to do things, I can only rely on my own strength. So, I need money and make money. Is there anyone in Kaifeng City who can make money more than Manager Sun?"

"Ah... I dare to ask Your Highness, what do you want the villain to do?"

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said, "Tell me the truth, how much cloth can you take out on hand now, and how much money can you take out?"

"If you have silk, you can get about 30,000 pieces. If you give me some time, 100,000 pieces should be the same. If you have money, 200,000 to 300,000 guan, but most of them... are mostly southern coins."

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said, "If I ask you to lend me your silk and money, would you please bear it?"

"Ah..."

When Sun Liancheng heard this, he was a little hesitant, then gritted his teeth and nodded, "How can I talk about borrowing as long as it is necessary for Your Highness? I am willing to donate all my family's wealth. As long as I can help you with the great cause you have planned, this is also a blessing for my whole family."

Zhao Guangmei couldn't help laughing when she heard this, pointed at him and turned her head, but said to Pan Mei and Yang Ye: "Look, I'll just talk about his talent? Even with this decisiveness, I'm afraid it's better than most people in the world who claim to be smart. Everyone knows the truth that strange goods are available, but in a moment, they are willing to suppress all their wealth. This courage is really rare."

As he said that, he smiled and said, "I said I should borrow it, just take it seriously. You lend it to me with the money and silk. I want to use it to do business. If you make money, you will naturally return it to you. If the business is not good, I don't make money, well... Although my elder brother is quite stingy, I don't seem to have a serious fief, but with my identity, I have no reason to betray you. Of course, I am just the boss of this business, and you have to be the manager."

"Business? Are you... doing business? I wonder what business you want to do?"

I thought to myself, isn’t this a big deal? What kind of business should I do with a dignified national crown prince?

Besides, I borrowed my money to be my boss and asked me to be your shopkeeper. I am worthy of being Your Highness!

"At the beginning, just practice your hands. In this first business, I want to build a pergola and a silk pergola."
