"I've seen Your Highness!" Chen Maosan held his chubby body and bowed slightly to Li Zhi.

"No courtesy." Li Zhi waved his hand.

Originally, Li Zhi's plan was to beat these wealthy families, but after thinking about it for a long time, I felt that there was no need for this, and now is not the time to turn his face, the top priority is to strengthen his own strength, and if necessary, he can actually use the power of these wealthy families.

So, Li Zhi asked the little servant to move a chair for Chen Maosan to sit down, and then quipped: "I don't know what happened to Brother Mao, what happened this time?" On weekdays, I don't see you come to this palace to sit, is the sun rising in the west today? ”

Chen Maosan was embarrassed for a while, and said secretly in his heart, "I don't want to come either... Isn't this forced..", if it wasn't profitable, he stood up and walked away on the spot, and endured: "Your Highness, then I'll say it straight.." The fat man wiped a handful of sweat.

"Your Highness, don't hide it, we all know that you have invented a new gadget, I heard that it is transparent and colorless... It's amazing. ”

After Li Zhi listened to it, there was no surprise, because this information was deliberately released by him, and the reason why he explained it to many subordinates in the main hall this morning was to let the ears of these families hear it.

These families are a collective headed by the Chen family and then the He family, the Su family, and the Yang family, and they monopolize several economic pillars in the entire western province of Suzhou.

And Li Zhi deliberately revealed the information to them, the purpose was to insert a foot between them, use their power to strengthen himself, and then weaken them.

When Li Zhi set up the Casting Bureau, these families began to secretly investigate, when the new steelmaking method practiced the steel ingot, these families wanted to secretly operate, steal the secret recipe, but helplessly, contacted many craftsmen involved in steelmaking, found that there was no complete process in their hands, and even did not know which step he did.

In this way, several major families saw that Li Zhi's casting bureau made a lot of money, just when they wanted to contact Li Zhi, they found that Li Zhi ran into the barracks, and had no choice but to delay it again and again.

Chen Maosan was the gun sent by these four families to test Li Zhi, but he didn't expect it to fall into Li Zhi's arms, but Li Zhi's preferred candidate was still the second son of the Yang family, Yang Chengxing.

Although the Chen family has been involved in the dart game and the money bank, it is not the main industry, and the Yang family is the real dart game and money bank, just like the big men in the express delivery industry and the banking industry in later generations, but in ancient times, these two industries were risky, so they did not make a lot of money in business.

Although the Yang family is not a good person, but it has always been incompatible with the Chen family, and the appearance is just separated, if Li Zhi can use it properly, this is a sharp weapon, if it is divided again, the so-called four major families are not led by Li Zhi's nose.

"What about Yang Chengxing?" Li Zhi asked lazily.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't care about himself, but instead started the Yang family, Chen Maosan suddenly became anxious, and said unhappily: "Hmph, Your Highness, what do you mean by this, isn't my Chen family qualified to cooperate?" Be careful of my Chen family..."

Before Chen Maosan finished speaking, Li Zhi frowned slightly, his face changed instantly, he looked at Chen Maosan, and said unhappily: "Is this your attitude, or your Chen family's attitude?" Is it threatening the king? ”

Chen Maosan looked at Li Zhi's dangerous eyes, and suddenly reacted, his vest was full of cold sweat, and he secretly regretted it.

This is already a big rebellion.

"Your Highness is angry. I was also nervous and said the wrong thing. Chen Maosan's big face smiled and said.

"Humph!" Li Zhi snorted coldly, he dared to threaten himself, you will be comfortable in the future.

Seeing that Li Zhi was still displeased, and he might not be able to talk about it today, Chen Maosan shook his fat and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I came this time definitely not to threaten Your Highness, but to seek cooperation, of course, sincerity is also brought." After speaking, Chen Maosan clapped his hands, and a young man of the Chen family walked in with a small box.

Chen Maosan couldn't help but say bitterly: "Your Highness, this is a gift from my father to His Royal Highness, I hope to accept it." ”

After Chen Maosan finished speaking, the little guy opened the box and saw that there were pieces of paper full of words written inside.

"Title deeds?" Li Zhi glanced at it and saw it.

"That's right, Your Highness, recently it has been known that His Highness has greatly expanded the construction of the land, and I think the Casting Bureau in the southern city will definitely continue to expand, so my father donated thousands of hectares of land in the southern suburbs of Chen Jia'an Xicheng to His Highness, whether it is for construction or for the craftsmen to eat."

Li Zhi squinted slightly, this Chen Qingshan really deserves to be a treacherous and cunning businessman, for Li Zhi, there is no shortage of silver at all now, because the Casting Bureau is a huge gold-absorbing machine, and the daily income is a large number, and silver is nothing more than a number for Li Zhi now.

"Haha... Haha...."Li Zhi laughed, "Chen Yuanwai is really careful, this king really needs a large amount of land now, this really solves the urgent need of this king!" ”

Chen Maosan also laughed along.

Li Zhi suddenly said again: "This thousand acres of land, this king smiled, but this is just to compensate for the thing you threatened this king just now, if you want to really talk about things, you still need the third brother Mao to go back and tell them, if you want to talk about cooperation, the four families will send people to come, let's talk about it, don't hide behind the autumn wind, this king doesn't like it." ”

Li Zhi's purpose in doing this is nothing more than to maximize the benefits, a Chen family is still so willing to give away the former land property, what about the Su family, the Yang family, and the He family, thinking of this, Li Zhi smiled evilly, for these wealthy families, Li Zhi did not have a soft hand.

Although Chen Maosan was a little disappointed, he was actually ready, when Li Zhi said why he didn't see the Yang family, he came to a conclusion, as for why he knew that he couldn't talk about it today and offered the land, he naturally had an idea, the purpose was to dispel today's unpleasantness, otherwise when the four families talked together, his Chen family would definitely fall behind.

Although the production area of the thousand hectares of fields in the southern suburbs is large, it has already been abandoned for some time, because of geological reasons, there are many sand and gravel, and crops are not suitable for growth, so it is a pity that the Chen family did not bring it out.

Chen Maosan didn't sit for long, and then beckoned the little servant to leave the Xinwang Mansion in a hurry, this place, he really didn't want to stay a little longer.

After taking Chen Maosan away, Li Zhi stretched lazily, and suddenly it was noon.

At this time, Zhang Qingci cautiously came over with a bowl of porridge.

"Your Highness, drink porridge." Zhang Qingci put the porridge on the table, and his little hands were burned red.

Li Zhi grabbed his hand and blew it gently, "Next time, let others do these things." ”

"It's okay, Your Highness, let's drink porridge" After Zhang Qingci broke free, he scooped up half a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and blew it gently, and said, "Come on." ”

Ah, Li Zhi's mouth is wide open.

Just when Li Zhi and Zhang Qingci were drinking porridge here, the four major families had already secretly gathered to discuss.
