From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 284 Sun Shaoyang

Just when Yang Yuanfeng and his wife and Prince Zong Lingcheng of the Ministry of Clan Affairs were scheming against each other over the good news coming from Hengzhou, they had to cooperate with each other.

Sun Shaoyang, a third-rank official in the Dali Temple of the Sui Empire, also received a letter from his father in his hometown of Mianyang and fell into deep thought.

After pacing in the study for a long time, he opened the door and shouted to the servant standing at the door: "Call the second young master over to me, and immediately arrange a carriage for him to go back to his hometown-----"

Then, not long after, a young man with a thin figure, delicate features, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, walked in quickly.

Looking at Sun Shaoyang who was writing furiously, he wanted to open his mouth and shout.

Sun Shaoyang paused for a moment, stretched out his hand to signal his son to close the door, and then handed his son the letter that his father had sent urgently.

Then he lowered his head and finished the letter that he had not yet finished writing.

The more Sun Guoan read his grandfather's letters, the more surprised he was.

If he hadn't been in his father's study, he would have jumped up.

Everything in this letter is so magical!

Sun Shan, who had the same surname as him and had separated from his family for more than 200 years, unexpectedly came up with a series of incredible plans in just half a year.

In the letter, the grandfather focused on the family trust fund and Sun Shan's intention to auction off some of his shares.

It is believed that these two points are the best opportunity for the Mianyang Sun family, as the main branch, to join the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, if you miss this village, you will miss this store.

Sun Guoan certainly knew Sun Shan, but he only knew that he was good at writing operas and heard that he was also good at singing.

In addition, he was extremely arrogant, and even the Wang family, one of the most powerful families in the Sui Empire, was so angry that three of their members vomited.

Last month, when the third-rank Crown Prince Linxue Zheng Wang Deyi dragged his sick body back to the capital, Sun Shan's fame was almost known to the whole city.

The father and son, who always had stern faces and rarely smiled in their lives, laughed out loud in the study for the first time that night.

Moreover, that night he called his two concubines together and kept them company all night.

After writing for about ten minutes, Sun Shaoyang finally put down his pen and habitually blew away the ink that was almost dry.

Then, seal the envelope meticulously.

Then he turned his head to look at his son who was still holding the letter and seemed to be in a daze, and asked, "Guoan, do you have any thoughts on what your grandfather arranged?"

It turned out that in the letter, Sun Hong asked his son to immediately send Sun Guoan, who was of the most suitable age and had not completed his studies, back to his hometown, and then rush to Hengzhou with this family member before the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Then, we have to negotiate face to face with the two branches of the Chenzhou Sun family and the Huayang Sun family on a series of issues concerning the Sun family.

At the same time, Sun Shaoyang was also asked to communicate with Sun Ziwen, a member of the Sun family in Chenzhou, who was also the Minister of the Dali Temple in the capital.

See if it is possible to merge the three clans into one and jointly establish the Sun Family Trust Fund to benefit all Sun clan members in the world.

Sun Shaoyang is not optimistic about this.

However, there was no objection in the reply letter to my father.

Agree to contact Sun Ziwen immediately to exchange information.

"Father, can this really be accomplished? I feel like Sun Shan is not someone you can get along with easily."

Sun Shaoyang was furious when he saw his son, who had always been unruly and necessarily frowning.

He opened his mouth and scolded: "Be nicer, you went there to ask for a favor, and besides, the other person is older than you, don't let that little-----"

Having said that, Sun Shaoyang stopped talking and quickly took back the words behind him, and changed his words: "Don't let those small factions look down on you!"

"Tsk, what's so great about that? It's just that I'm in love with Princess Ke Xin and can make a little money-----"

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Shaoyang slapped his son on the face, pointed at his nose and shouted, "Be the best you can be. If you ruin your grandfather's family's affairs when you go back, I will break your legs!"

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you have the ability to earn me one tenth of Sun Shan's wealth within half a year, I will call you my ancestor. Do you know how much Sun Shan is worth now?"

As he spoke, Sun Shaoyang trembled and opened his palm, stretching out a slap: "Father estimates that after this round of expansion, his status can reach five million taels!"

"what?"

Sun Guoan jumped up like a dog whose tail was stepped on. "Five million taels, how is that possible! He, he, he is a pauper. Didn't he start his fortune by relying on King Heng?"

“It’s not what it used to be!”

Sun Shaoyang sighed deeply and sat down heavily. Looking at his son's red face, he felt a little distressed: "This guy is too troublesome!"

"This guy's vision is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Who dares to let the royal family invest without paying a cent? Who is willing to give the shares worth millions of taels to the clan members to share together-----"

As he spoke, a thought came to Sun Shaoyang's mind: This kid threw out such a big piece of fat meat, could he be trying to lure the Chenzhou Sun family and his own family into the trap?

So, he quickly told his son, "After you leave, talk to your grandfather and ask him if Sun Shan has set up a family trust fund with the intention of interfering with us. Ask your grandfather to be more careful when negotiating with the two families."

At this time, Sun Guoan habitually touched his face, which he had fought against since childhood, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "I know, when I join the game, I will definitely represent our Mianyang branch and show them what the main branch should be like! There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and there is a hierarchy. They don't understand this principle, do they?"

Looking at his son's arrogant look, Sun Shaoyang couldn't help but wanted to hit him again.

But just think about it, in this cold winter, and having to travel seven or eight hundred miles in ten days, I endured it.

However, he still glared at him with his eyes wide open: "Don't do anything stupid. When you go back, listen to your grandfather. You should stay in Datong Chamber of Commerce for a few years. You have failed in studying and doing business in the past few years. If you can take Sun Bing's position after Sun Shan passes the imperial examination, I will call you my ancestor."

Sun Guoan's mind immediately perked up after hearing this, and he replied with a smile: "How difficult is that? Sun Bing is just a street thug. If he hadn't had a good cousin, he wouldn't know where he would be begging for food in the mud."

As he spoke, Sun Guoan stood up, grabbed the letter his father had placed on the desk, patted his chest and shouted, "Father, don't worry. After all, I am a scholar and have been in the capital for decades. Just wait for the news of my victory. Just wait for me to call-----"

However, before he could finish the last two words, he was kicked by his father, Sun Shaoyang: "Get out of here! When you finish your work, I will agree to anything you ask for!"

Sun Guoan was kicked by his father. After hearing what his father said, he asked shamelessly, "If I succeed, can I become Princess Kewei's consort?"

Sun Shaoyang, who had originally refused to scold him, remembered the ready-made case of Sun Shan in front of him, and did not scold him this time.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you succeed, your father will help you. If you fail, don't think that Princess Ke Wei will agree just because you want to be a prince consort."

As he spoke, Sun Shaoyang stroked his beard and said, "Perhaps, this is also a shortcut. If it works for Sun Shan, then maybe it can work for you, too. Anyway, Sun Shan is tied tightly to King Heng now, so it's not a bad idea for our Sun family to tie him even tighter."

When Sun Guoan heard his father say this, his eyes lit up.

Thinking of this, Yang Kewei, who was still staying in Hengzhou, ran out immediately, holding up the letter in her hand and saying loudly, "Father, I'm leaving. I'm going back to my hometown. I promise to do everything to your satisfaction!"

Sun Shaoyang saw that his son ran away in a hurry without saying a few words. He chased him to the door and warned him from a distance: "Guoan, be careful on the road, and listen to your grandfather in everything!"
