Since the city of Shanyang has become prosperous, people here have been accustomed to sleeping late, especially in summer nights, and at night is the time when people like to go out and play more.

Therefore, even if the hour was not early, when Sun Xiangfu and Li Chengqian came to Wang Xu's mansion, it was still brightly lit, and Wang Xu himself greeted the mansion as soon as possible.

"The prince and Sun Dudu came to the humble house, it is really brilliant! Come and have a banquet. ”

It seems that he expected Sun Xiangfu to visit again, Wang Xu's mansion has long been prepared, Li Chengqian and Sun Xiangfu said a few polite words to him, and then they were led by him to sit in the main hall.

Sun Xiangfu has been to Wang Xu's mansion many times before, but he has never been treated like this, it seems that Wang Xu specially made it in order to cater to Li Chengqian's preferences.

After sitting down, Sun Xiangfu gave Li Chengqian, who was full of disappointment, a look on his face, and said to Wang Xu, "Prince Wang, Your Majesty has quite an objection to the offer you gave, and has sent the crown prince and the governor to come and negotiate with you. ”

"Yes, Gu also thinks that the price of fifteen million guan is too low, if the Wang family is willing to bid 20 million guan, my father will definitely agree just now."

Hearing this, Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that Li Chengqian was a little different from the past, but when he saw Li Chengqian's expression that was not too serious, he believed it a little.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't have anything unusual about the price, and said, "Since the prince said that 20 million guan can be done, it must be done, and a little more money is nothing to my Wang family, as long as the prince understands that my Wang family is sincere to you." ”

If it weren't for Sun Xiangfu, who had done a lot of ideological work on Li Chengqian when he came just now, Li Chengqian would have heard Wang Xu's words, and he was afraid that he would treat him as a confidant.

But now! still has to treat him as a confidant, but only on the surface, before the Wang family is completely eradicated, on the surface, it is still necessary to maintain a harmonious atmosphere with the Wang family.

"Just say it! Wang Gongzi will definitely help Gu complete the tasks assigned by his father, come on, come on, Gu respects Wang Gongzi for a cup. ”

Li Chengqian is really a natural actor, and his talent in acting, Sun Xiangfu is really far from him, at least the expression of joy from the heart just now, Sun Xiangfu can't do it.

And seeing Li Chengqian's expression, as well as what he said, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that raising the price to 20 million yuan was a negotiation task given to Li Chengqian by Li Shimin, which should be regarded as a kind of examination of Li Chengqian's political ability, and he could be regarded as helping Li Chengqian complete the examination task, but in his heart, he regarded Li Chengqian as a straw bag, such a thing, he actually took it out directly to others, didn't he tell himself that he owed himself a favor?

Straw bales are good! Straw bale point, use it in the future, it will save trouble.

After Wang Xu's mental activity, he raised his glass with a smile and drank the wine, "Sharing worries for the prince is my Wang family's business, and it is not enough to worry about it, but my Wang family's follow-up plan, I still need to ask the prince to help implement it." ”

What is the purpose of the Wang family's purchase of land, Sun Xiangfu has already made it clear to Li Chengqian, don't look at their willingness to invest 20 million guan so much, in fact, in the end, the money must be the five families in Shangqi City, the Wang family just reversed their hands, not only replaced the land they wanted, maybe they could earn some difference from it, and Wang Xu himself offered 15 million guan, 20 million guan, in fact, within the expectations of the Wang clan elders, after all, according to the land price auctioned here in Shanyang, The price of 15 million acres of land should exceed 20 million yuan.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked at Sun Xiangfu's eyes again, and said with a smile, "Certainly, definitely, I don't know if Sister Ling Wang Yao has ever stopped, if not, it is better to come out and play a song to help the wine." ”

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, and seeing his expectant expression again, Wang Xu showed a little joy and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is visiting, and the little sister doesn't dare to slack off, so I'll send someone to shout, and ask the prince to wait for a while." ”

Li Chengqian nodded with joy on his face, looking like he had fulfilled his wishes, and took the initiative to invite wine again, Wang Xu drank to the cup, and the atmosphere became warm.

Since the Wang family wants to make a fuss about Li Chengqian, then, follow their thoughts and let them continue to do it, as long as Li Chengqian does not sincerely agree with their family, then it is easy to take advantage of the situation to squeeze some benefits from the Wang family, in this regard, Sun Xiangfu has already explained to Li Chengqian.

Moreover, the effect is already obvious, if the person who shouted the price of 20 million guan just now is Sun Xiangfu, even if Wang Xu is generous, he will not blink his eyes at the huge amount of money of 5 million, this is equivalent to a year's tax of the entire northern land!

However, the effect of Li Chengqian's opening is different, saying that it is a task given to Li Chengqian by Li Shimin, it is even more different, not to mention that the Wang family can still afford this price, even if it can't, if it loses a little, the Wang family will probably grit their teeth and help Li Chengqian achieve what he wants.

When talking about business, we must seize the favorable conditions, and we must magnify them as much as possible, and Li Chengqian himself is the favorable conditions that Sun Xiangfu can take advantage of.

After a while, Wang Yao, who was holding a five-stringed pipa, arrived at the banquet, and after greeting everyone one by one, all the musicians and dancers retreated.

Sun Xiangfu looked at the appearance of the little girl, although the length is quite exquisite, but between the eyebrows, it still looks very green, at most eighty points, and it is very likely to collapse, but the figure is a little scary, girls around twelve years old have actually grown to a height of nearly one meter seven, which is relatively rare and tall.

Moreover, there was a hint of discoloration in her eyes, which made Sun Xiangfu sure that she had Hu blood, and I thought it was Wang Rui and one of his orchid concubines.

"Sister Wang Yao's five-string pipa solo is a must, and the teacher can listen to it carefully."

In fact, the reason why Li Chengqian is so close to Sun Xiangfu is because he is Li Chengqian's music teacher, and he led him into the door of music with one hand, Li Chengqian's love for music performance art comes from the bone marrow, and in history, he risked being impeached, but also to pamper the musicians, pretend to be Hu people, sing Hu songs and act, and as a result, he hated many East Palace ministers who were responsible for teaching him, so that these ministers kept saying bad things about him in front of Li Shimin, which shows how unreliable he was in the later period.

However, Sun Xiangfu is not like Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng and others, who will only blindly criticize him, but adopts the method of communicating with him privately and guiding him in a way that interests him.

There were many geniuses in ancient times, even if Wang Yao was a plucked string genius, at her age, she could play the pipa out of an emotion, which was really rare, and it was no wonder that Li Chengqian liked her so much, people who love music have no resistance at all for this kind of music that can make emotions take off.

Shaking his head and listening to the song played by Wang Yao very devotedly, Li Chengqian did not hesitate to praise at all, but made Wang Xu completely relieved.

"Brother Zhengming, I know that you are from the emperor's retainers, and naturally belong to the prince's east palace lineage, if my Wang family also fully supports the prince, presumably, in the future, there will be a place for my Wang family!"

Wang's advantage over several other families now, in addition to the early development of the Guanwai a year earlier, that is, Wang Gui still occupies the position of the servant, there is a prime minister-level high-ranking official in the court, Wang's right to speak is naturally not comparable to several others, in Li Shimin's deliberate favoritism, the Wang family also fully realized the advantage of having someone in the court who is easy to do, this is Li Shimin's intention to keep Wang Gui in the position of the servant, if there is no power in Wang Gui's hands, his Wang family is not so easy to deal with the joint attack of the rest of the family.

Generally speaking, the Zhenguan Dynasty's control of these family gate valves is quite successful, in the past two years, there are many ministers under several other families who have been killed by Wang Gui, of course, the Wang family itself has some losses, in their step-by-step struggle, Li Shimin is also constantly taking back power, and now, it has almost broken the situation that they are left and right in the court, and the next step is to break the situation that they control the place.

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he smiled and whispered back to Wang Xu, "This is natural, if it weren't for the crown prince, do you think I would allow your Wang family to use means to replace all the land around Shanyang Dingxiang with your family's land, which is greatly disadvantageous to the imperial court's control of the place." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu knew in his heart that he never dared to treat Sun Xiangfu as a fool, with an investment risk of about 20 million yuan, to complete the strategic development plan of the Wang family, it was decided by the elders of the Wang clan after repeated research, as long as there is Shanyang, Dingxiang This more than 10 million acres of fertile fields are in hand, no matter how the situation outside changes in the future, he Wang will be invincible, and the output in the field is really valuable.

Moreover, the problem that Sun Xiangfu saw, they actually saw it, the Hu people could not be as easy to control as the Han people, but they didn't want these Hu people to mess up when they ate the imperial court, so in the future, as long as they tied their own interests to the interests of the imperial court, no one could shake their status.

"As my son said before, if this matter is successful, there will be heavy thanks, and I will still make a number, how to make the five families over there obey, and ask Brother Zhengming to help me."

"Is it that if I don't help you, the court won't be able to collect money?"

"Brother Zhengming laughed, 20 million yuan, even if it is my Wang family, it is impossible to take it out easily, however, only a statement from Brother Zhengming, and some attitudes, I can quickly receive some money from the hands of the five families in Shangqi City, at this moment when the court needs money everywhere, Brother Zhengming is also worrying about the court!"

"Hehe, I think those wise men who came to your Wang family's elders have already considered all the problems, so I hope your so-called heavy thanks will not disappoint me."

The matter of the field, this can be regarded as a foregone conclusion, as for what Sun Xiangfu's statement said later, and how to put his attitude, of course, there is no need for Wang Xu to teach him specifically, Sun Xiangfu is a smart person, and he will consider it himself.

After the business was finalized, Sun Xiangfu's remaining task was to eat, and after three games in a row, he finally had a chance to fill his stomach, and after he was full, of course, he went home to sleep, so he decisively interrupted Li Chengqian, who was discussing music with Wang Yao.

On Sun Xiangfu's carriage, Li Chengqian said very proudly, "How about it, what I played just now is okay!" ”

"Barely passing, when you are with Wang Yao, you shouldn't deliberately show that kind of squinting expression, remember, you are still a twelve-year-old child, even if you like it, you shouldn't behave like an adult, you have to figure out your role carefully, and do these scenes well in front of them, so that you can have a lot of opportunities to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the future, but if you do it too obviously, it will be easy to be exposed, and it is not too easy to play the scene of life."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he nodded with a look of deep disapproval, "Well, Gu also thinks that the feeling just now is still a little wrong, next time Gu must pay attention, by the way, this time let the Wang family have an extra two million, will my father praise me?" ”

"Definitely! Two million is not a small number······"

This is the special method that Sun Xiangfu thought of to correct Li Chengqian, not entangled in his previous misconceptions, nor did he lose his face in person, and after some communication, he used the way he was more interested in guiding him on the right path.
