Chu Jiangmian didn't stay in Zizhong's mansion for a long time, and when he left, he took away 10,000 taels of gold, as well as a prince in the mansion.

Zizhong stood at the door of the hall, watching his luxurious carriage pull the ten thousand taels of gold he had worked so hard to accumulate and the best son in the family, all the way out of the mansion. The steps are as long as water, and the heart is cold.

It wasn't until tonight that he knew that the legendary Thousand Machines Pavilion had been taken over by Chu Jiangmian for his own use. When this powerful secret force entered the mansion, he knew in his heart that he had lost the qualification to resist Chu Jiangmian.

When the mansion was completely calm, Zizhong repelled everyone, and he silently looked at the deep night sky and pondered for a long time. It turns out that I, like many people, have been blinded by illusions! Chu Jiangmian, who has been regarded by everyone as a gentleman all these years, was so sharp and difficult when he really began to show his edge!

"After tonight, the past will be written off! Doctor Shang can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth...... And in the near future, maybe there will be even greater glory waiting for you. Work hard! ”

Thinking of the words Chu Jiangmian left when he left, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't think it was a joke. After tonight's incident, Zizhong felt that it was necessary to think about his choice again.

And the hesitation in his heart didn't take long to turn into determination. Because, just two hours later, six or seven royal nobles living in this area, they came to Zizhong's mansion overnight and told the same story of what they had encountered tonight.

Zizhong silently listened to their angry confessions, and the tremor in his heart increased little by little. In two or three hours, that young man had snatched nearly 100,000 taels of gold from all of them! I don't know what that guy is doing with all this gold.

"Doctor, you have to call the shots for everyone! How could he do that? This is no different from robbers and bandits! ”

"Yes, yes! Chu Jiangmian deceived people too much! Losing some money wouldn't have been a big deal. But he took my dog...... This is the best son of my Chen family, if he has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can it be good? ”

"Alas! Who's to say it isn't? Your family is better, my wife and I only have a young son, but tonight we were also taken away under his coercion...... ”

Without exception, Chu Jiangmian not only extorted money, but also forcibly "kidnapped tickets"! Everyone suffered the same treatment as Zizhong Mansion. For what this prince did, Zizhong didn't know what it was like in his heart. After everyone finished speaking angrily, he sorted out his emotions and finally began to speak.

"Our Royal Highness the Prince is not simple! Behind his seemingly absurd behavior, there is a most direct and practical purpose. If my guess is correct, he's going to make a big move! ”

Suddenly, they heard that Zizhong's tone carried a lot of admiration, and everyone looked at him in surprise, and they didn't understand what he meant by this.

"Doctor Shang, isn't Chu Jiangmian here to see that we don't support him, so he deliberately found fault? Is there anything else ......? ”

Someone asked loudly. In a spotlight

In his eyes, he saw Zizhong shake his head, and then what he said was beyond everyone's expectations.

"He is not directed at us for tonight's events. With this person's scheming, if he really wants to take revenge, I'm afraid we will already die now! ”

Hearing him say so seriously, everyone was even more surprised. But I have to admit that what Zizhong said is likely to be the truth. Since Chu Jiangmian already had the power of the Thousand Machine Pavilion in his hands, and he was so unruly, no one could do what he wanted to do.

"I think people should think about their choices...... This matter is not trivial, but it is related to the life of the family! ”

Zizhong's face was full of solemnity, although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what his choice was! After a moment of silence, seven or eight nobles with great wealth gathered together and began their late-night secret conversation, full of doubts.

And unlike their worried mood of wanting to make a difficult choice again, the young people who were brought into Jinxiang Palace with their own carriages were all a little excited and uplifted at the moment. For, standing before them, His Highness asked in a demagogic tone.

"Do you want to get rid of the influence of your family and create a new path with your own efforts?"

The young people who have grown up under the huge wings of the family since childhood are well educated and have a keen sense of touch. When you really realize that there is an opportunity in front of you, who doesn't want to be free to soar into the sky!

"Your Royal Highness...... Didn't they take us hostage? ”

The son-in-law of the Shangda Zizhong family is named Zimu, and when he remembered that when he left the house, the family looked like life and death, and he had some doubts in his heart after all. He, like several other people, is not qualified to participate in the big things of his own Lao Tzu, but he knows something after all. It is said that their group of nobles have expressed their support for Gongzi Qingyun to inherit the throne. And Chu Jiangmian used this special means to bring them all into the palace, if he didn't worry about his own safety, then how could it be?

Chu Jiangmian glanced at them lightly. It's all the sons of rich families! He had ordered the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies to gather all of their information, and he had carefully studied each of them. has both talent and connections, and it would be a pity if these rich second generations didn't make good use of it.

"How can you think that? Whatever your fathers did wrong, it has nothing to do with you...... Everyone is a young man of Zhao Guo, and he is a usable talent. When this country is in danger, it is also the time to show its talents. If you can work for me, I can now promise that each and every one of you will have a brilliant future! ”

Since His Royal Highness the Prince has said it so clearly, what else is there to doubt! These young people are all admirers of King Zhao, and they have never lacked blood, let alone those gains and losses. Glancing at each other at the moment, someone was already rubbing his palms and couldn't wait to say.

"What His Royal Highness needs us to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Even if you put on armor and charge to kill the enemy, you will never back down. ”

Chu Jiangmian looked at their faces that began to become excited, waved his hand lightly and said, "How can I be willing to let you go into battle to kill the enemy?" All of you have bigger

usefulness. You don't have to splash blood with a knife, you can still establish feats that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve! ”

"Your Highness, hurry up and command! We can't wait. ”

"I've heard that your family has been good at business since your ancestors. Most of the accumulated wealth comes from this. For many years, there were constant contacts with the nobles of the vassal states. As a very respected son in the family, you should be all familiar with these things, right? ”

Zimu, who was standing at the front, was secretly surprised in his heart. Chu Jiangmian even knew the secrets of these families, which showed that he had made sufficient preparations this time. Although it is impossible to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse, it is obviously impossible to deny it outright.

"Your Royal Highness, these things are just business dealings between families, just to make more money...... Although he was ashamed of the scholars, he had nothing to do with state affairs. We have never done anything to damage the Zhao Kingdom because of this, and I hope Your Highness will see it! ”

"Needless to explain, I already know what you are saying. And what I want you to do now is still like this. Family origins, each of you has a specialty in this area, why not use this expertise to serve the country? ”

The aristocratic princes' eyes widened, and there was a confused look on their faces. They don't understand how this kind of businessman's trail can rise to the height of the country? How did you use it to serve your country? Chu Jiangmian glanced at them, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he had already continued.

"Shangjia has never been a small way, but now most people in the world have not realized its great power! Everyone in the world thinks that businessmen are just to earn money for their own pleasure, but how many people can truly realize the huge energy contained in the way of business, and how many people can understand the feelings of family and country in the hearts of many business tycoons...... Alas! This is the limitation of this era, and it was originally not complained about by the people of the world. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really my confidant! If the family elders can hear this, they will definitely be grateful and relieved! ”

Seven or eight young men led by Zimu fell to the ground, happy and convinced. Not to mention anything else, just the farsightedness revealed in Chu Jiangmian's words just now is enough to show that this person's broad-mindedness is incomparable. And he has never heard anyone say this about these few comments about the merchants. With this alone, these young hearts were subdued.

"So do you want to serve the country and truly build a business empire belonging to your respective families within the world?"

Chu Jiangmian struck while the iron was hot and asked again. The aristocratic sons, who had already been ignited with blood in their chests, shouted loudly almost in unison.

"I am willing to follow His Highness, go to the soup and fire, and never regret it!"

"Good! Your first target is the Kingdom of Qi...... Then start now! ”

Everyone raised their heads together and looked at Chu Jiangmian with high spirits. The Qi State of the East China Sea was one of the countries with the closest relationship with the nobles of the Zhao State, who started as merchants. And the Zimu family has a continuous relationship with it.

"That'...... Don't know where to start? ”

"I have prepared a few small gifts for you, take them to the Qi country...... I hope to be able to surrender without a fight. ”
