Chapter 1540: Dispute
No one in the Yuan family thought that Han Yi would take the time to come here during the sports meeting to talk about such a major plan, and they were all unprepared for Yuan Xi, and their heads were a little dizzy.
Such a major decision cannot be decided on the spot, Yuanxi and they need to breathe fresh air now, and wipe the cold sweat on their hands by the way.
Therefore, Yuan Xi asked Han Yi and his wife to go back first, and the old men had to think about it carefully.
As soon as he came out of the council hall, Yuan Peony angrily walked to his small courtyard, and he didn't pay attention to Han Yi at all.
Han Yi looked at Yuan Peony, who quickly disappeared into the night, scratched his eyebrows, and sighed helplessly.
Back in the house, Yuan Peony saw him coming, and immediately turned his face to the side.
"Angry?"
Han Yi sat down.
"Humph!"
"Even if I don't discuss this matter with my uncle, when that happens, I will go to other businessmen, and then they will definitely blame me."
"Why didn't you consult with me beforehand?" Yuan Peony turned his head abruptly and said excitedly: "The plan to go south is like this, and this time it is like this, is it really so difficult to discuss it with me in advance?" β
Han Yi said: "I won't tell you because I want to leave the business in the council hall to say that this place only belongs to our family." β
"So what are we talking about now?"
β.......οΌβ Han Yi sighed, "Even if I tell you what can be changed, I have to tell my uncle about it, because of this plan, I am imperative, regardless of whether the Yuan family will participate or not." β
"It's imperative again."
Yuan Peony sneered and said, "I really don't understand sometimes, what do you want to do?" You have become the prime minister, and you have a lot of money, do you know how much risk is hidden in you doing this, this is war, the slightest carelessness, we all fall into the abyss, we can never turn over, I don't know why trade and war are linked. β
Han Yi said: "Then let me ask you, the Yuan family is also sitting on a wealth of thousands of dollars, why do you have to work so hard, don't you just want to find a way out." β
"Is war the way out? War is destruction, it is the destruction of human beings, we are only merchants. β
"War is plunder, war is reconstruction, what is more profitable in this world than robbery?"
"Then why don't you go to be a robber?"
"Because it's not legal, and war is legal."
Yuan Peony laughed angrily: "I really didn't expect that your ambition would be so great. β
"Then tell me a little bit, ambitious."
Han Yi said: "Why do businessmen have to find a way, why is it not the prime minister who has to find a way?" Isn't it because since ancient times, the status of merchants has been very low, why is the status of merchants very low, is it really because merchants are powerful and mercenary? Of course not, because the merchant has no contribution to the country, to the court, or to the monarch, just like the toilet paper, not that he doesn't need it, but he throws it away when he runs out. If in the future, merchants can not only fund the imperial court's foreign wars, but also help the imperial court stabilize regional tranquility, then will the status of merchants still be so humble, and will the imperial court still suppress merchants? β
Yuan Peony frowned when she heard this, and she was silent.
Han Yi said: "Don't look at the businessman's development now, but his status is very embarrassing, is it a step back, or a step further?" Indeed, taking a step back, you can open the sky, because when you are not a threat to anyone, you are the safest, but at the same time the most humble, but this person goes high, who is willing to live humblely. But further, this wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, you say, what should I do? β
Yuan Peony shook his head and said: "Don't treat me as a fool, you are now on the rise, and the future is bright, as long as you take it step by step, like Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, you will be a very popular minister in the future, and it is not a problem at all, but you are working hard, destroying the existing order, fooling the world, and letting everyone participate in your plan, you say that you just want to find a way out for the businessman, can you believe it yourself?" If I'm not mistaken, you didn't do this because Uncle had mentioned it before, but because you had planned it a long time ago, just like the plan to go south. What exactly is your purpose? β
Han Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I am indeed on the rise now, but have you ever thought about why I am on the rise, isn't it because I have destroyed the existing order and made the people of the Tang Dynasty richer, I am not taking the road of Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji at all, how can I be like them." And my purpose is very simple, that is, to obtain more wealth and make Datang stronger. β
Yuan Peony said: "So you have to instigate the imperial court to continue to have wars with foreign countries, if the imperial court gets sweetness in the war, then the imperial court will continue to wage war with the outside world, but fighting a war is to kill people, have you ever thought about it." β
She is very repulsive about war, didn't Dugu Xianluo just die on the battlefield, she really didn't want Han Yi to be associated with war, and even she hated starting a war at all.
Han Yi said: "It's not that I instigated the court to go to war, but that there are people in the court who can't wait to destroy Goguryeo, and I'm just pushing the boat down the river." You are right, it is true that people will die, the difference is that the people who died in the past could not get anything, and if the imperial court adopted my plan, it would not only reduce the casualties, but also make the casualties adequately compensated. β
Yuan Peony said: "You always have your reasons, but have you ever thought that once you fail, how many people will be implicated because of you, you can't win all the time, Rao is the eldest grandson Wuji, who has been the prime minister for thirty years, and now it is difficult to protect himself, who could have imagined it a few years ago." β
Han Yi said: "Do you think I still have a way out now?" If I give up everything I have, tomorrow Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong will put me to death, I can't turn back, I have to keep going, yes, maybe I will fail, but I may succeed, and if I give up, my end will be very miserable. β
Each has its own reasons, but no one can convince anyone.
Yuan Peony stood up and said, "I'm a little tired, you go to the guest room to sleep tonight." β
Han Yi rubbed his face with his hands and stood up, "I can go to the guest room to sleep tonight, but I really don't want our differences in business to become a barrier between us husband and wife, this is not the same thing at all." With that, he turned and went out.
As the door closed, Yuan Peony closed his eyes, sighed softly, sat down, and looked at the flickering candle flame, his eyebrows full of worry and fear.
In the final analysis, she can't understand Han Yi's gameplay at all, and she can't understand it, even if she gives Goguryeo to the Yuan family, that is, a little more money, with the current development of the Yuan family, there is no need to obtain wealth through war, which is too risky, and no one has ever done it like this before, and it can't be used for reference.
The unknown is always scary and worrying.
It was a sleepless night.
Early the next morning, Yuan Peony got up from the bed, looking a little tired, and just after washing, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Me."
Han Yi's voice came from outside.
Yuan Peony hesitated for a while before he stepped forward and opened the door, but saw Han Yi standing outside the door with the love breakfast he named, and he was still shivering a little cold.
"I must not have slept last night, but don't worry, after eating the love breakfast I made, I must be full of vitality." Han Yi said with a grin.
Yuan Peony looked stupid, as if everything last night was a dream. But before she could react, Han Yi had already walked in with breakfast, and beckoned to him again: "Still standing stupidly, come over and eat, it will be cold later." β
Yuan Peony walked over, looked at the breakfast on the table, looked at Han Yi again, and finally sat down.
Han Yi was still the same as before, talking to her about some interesting things while eating, as if what happened last night really didn't happen.
But Yuan Peony couldn't adapt to it, so he simply put down his chopsticks, "Han Yi, that matter is still being discussed, and we can't treat it as if it didn't happen." β
Han Yi smiled lightly and said: "That's just a matter of business, I don't want it to affect the relationship between us, if you don't want to, I can back down, when the meeting is held, if the uncle has reservations, I will definitely not force it, but as a household secretary, I have the obligation to reduce the burden on the treasury, this is just a policy, that's all." But nothing is more important than you. β
Yuan Peony is afraid of war, but he is very afraid of the estrangement between husband and wife, because he has seen his parents step by step towards divorce, he also knows that Yuan Peony's character is relatively strong, if he does not take the initiative to back down, then after a long time, it is really not good, this relationship needs to be managed, he thinks that he has to quickly erase those unpleasant things, this goal he must achieve today, in terms of family, he is more nervous than anyone else.
Yuan Peony's heart warmed when she heard this, Han Yi, as a man, it was not easy to do this, and after a night of thinking, she was not as excited as last night, but she was full of helplessness and deflated her mouth, "I think Uncle they have all let you take it badly." β
Han Yi laughed and said, "You also underestimate the uncle, eat first, and take Rui'er for a walk after eating, I'll talk about this later." β
Yuan Peony nodded slightly.
But just after eating, just out of the house, and was about to go to see Han Rui, he saw the old servant beside Yuan Xi standing at the gate of the courtyard, "Uncle, the eldest lord invites you to go to the council hall." β
Han Yi smiled: "It's so early! It seems that the uncle didn't sleep well either. β
Yuan Peony glanced at him, "You still laugh because of you, it's all because of you." β
Han Yi smiled, "Let's go." β
The old servant suddenly said, "Uncle, the eldest master just invited you to go alone." β
Han Yi was stunned, "What do you mean?" "He has an urge to beat someone, I just finished coaxing my wife, you are here to make trouble again, do you think I've been too idle lately?
When the old servant saw Han Yi's eyes, he was a little scared and didn't dare to say much, but he just glanced at Yuan Peony slightly.
Yuan Peony said: "You go." β
"Come less!" Han Yi took Yuan Peony's hand and said, "Let's go." β
Yuan Peony withdrew his hand, "I have to abide by the rules of the Yuan family." β
"Oh my God!"
Han Yi rubbed his forehead, God, this uncle really likes to make trouble!
Yuan Peony smiled: "You are the person in charge, the uncle does this, it is in line with the rules of our Yuan family, and besides, I can't change anything if I go." Go ahead, I'm not going to appreciate it. β
Han Yi said: "Is it really okay? β
Yuan Peony said: "That's my uncle, I know him better than you." Speaking of this, she muttered quietly, "This is not the first time. β
Han Yi nodded and said, "Then --- okay, I'll report to you after the discussion is over." β
"What a report, nonsense." Yuan Peony's face was slightly red, and he said, "Go quickly." β
.....
When I came to the council hall, I saw that the elders of the Yuan family had already arrived, and even Yu Yuanzhe rushed over from Chongrenfang.
Han Yi said depressedly: "Uncle, please forgive the juniors for taking the liberty of asking, why don't you let Peony participate." β
Yuan Xi didn't answer and asked, "Where did you sleep last night?" β
Sweat! Do you have to ask so directly? Han Yi blinked and said, "It's just a little thing between our husband and wife, we were still having breakfast together just now, there is no problem, don't bother with it, uncle." β
Yuan Xi smiled: "The old man doesn't want to get involved in the affairs between your husband and wife, what the old man wants to ask is, why do you go to the guest room to sleep?" β
Han Yi blinked, thinking to himself, this face is lost, next time I have to quietly go to the guest room to sleep, bah, bah, Lao Tzu will never sleep in the guest room again.
Yuan Xi said: "Peony has grown up with me, that girl has always been cautious, afraid of taking a wrong step, so before she figured it out, she would never take the next step, she always wanted everyone around her to be happy, but this is impossible, especially in this business." Her personality is only suitable for taking care of affairs, not for making plans, especially for what we are going to talk about today, and it is even more inappropriate for her to participate. The old man just made the most beneficial choice for the Yuan family as usual! β
Han Yi said: "But uncle, can you think about my situation a little, you are adding fuel to the fire, I don't want to go to sleep in the guest room again tonight." β
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Peony will understand, because we have this power, she will never blame anyone for this, you don't have to care." Have a seat. β
Yuan Le also said: "Don't worry, that kid Peony is very well-behaved and won't lose his temper, and it's not the first time that your uncle has swept people out." As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Xi slightly, obviously sarcastic Yuan Xi, he had always supported Yuan Peony.
Yuan Xiquan didn't understand, and said to Han Yi again: "Sit down." β
Han Yi sighed helplessly, but still sat down.
He is not dealing with Yuan Xi for the first time, these old men, in fact, are more perverted, their belief is the Yuan family, they will only make decisions that are beneficial to the Yuan family, and will never be emotional, but the strange thing is that those juniors are very obedient, and will never lose their temper with them, everyone performs their duties, this is the most different point of the Yuan family from other big families, other big families are always fighting in the nest, splitting at every turn, and internal friction with each other, which is also an important reason for the decline of the aristocracy.
