Wang Shao was born in Wannian of Jingzhao. His ancestral home was Taiyuan, and his original name was Wang Chun. During Yongzhen's reign, he changed his name to avoid the emperor Xianzong's taboo. When he was young, he was highly valued by Yan Zhenqing, a famous official. According to his old name, he was given the word de Su, and he was appointed as Wu Kang Wei. Later, Xiao, the governor of Changzhou, restored him and appointed him as a judge. When Bao Ji was appointed as the envoy of salt, iron, light goods and money, he also appointed Wang Shao as a judge. At that time, Li xilie relied on the army to act recklessly, and the transportation of rent and tax from Jianghuai to the central government was hindered, so he changed the transportation route into ziyingshui to bianshui.

So Wang Shao led the light goods (silk, silk, golden beads and other precious goods) transported along the road to Jinzhou (Ankang, Shaanxi) and Shangzhou (Shangluo, Shaanxi), and quickly passed through Yangzhou (Xixiang, Shaanxi) to Fengtian. Dezong personally received and comforted Wang Shao "The imperial army has not yet changed into spring clothes, even I am still wearing fur." Wang Shao fell down with tears and replied, "Bao Ji has ordered his ministers to come along the path and serve about 500000 light goods." Dezong couldn't believe it: "it's a long way to go, and the funds are tight. Can you really count on what Qing said about Jinfeng?"

Tang Dezong believed that Wang Shao was sincere and confidential, and trusted him very much. Wang Shao had been in charge of aircraft maintenance for eight years, and he had been in charge of various political affairs. Dezong listened to his opinions and made decisions. Wang Shao did not divulge the content, nor boasted about it. After Tang Shunzong ascended the throne, Wang Shuwen began to take away his power, worshipped him as the Minister of the Ministry of war, and sought out the Minister of the Ministry of military affairs and the eastern capital. In the early years of Yuanhe, youpushe, the Secretary of qianjianxiao, the governor of Xuzhou, and the Jiedushi of Wuning army were under his jurisdiction.
