The guards didn't let Shen Cong in, and Shen Cong's temper also came up, and he immediately beckoned his own people to forcibly open the way, and the two sides scuffled together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was so noisy outside, Shen Wansan naturally couldn't sleep inside, and hurriedly ran out to take a look: "Stop it, what are you doing here." ”

Seeing Shen Wansan come out in disheveled clothes, Shen Cong couldn't cry or laugh a little, if he didn't make such a fuss outside, I'm afraid this eldest lady would have succeeded: "Dad, the child has something to look for you." ”

"Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?" Perhaps because he was disturbed, Shen Wansan's tone was not too kind.

"This matter can't be delayed, and I ask my father to atone for my sins." Shen Cong immediately stepped forward and grabbed his father's sleeve and pulled him into the study.

Shen Wansan sat at the table and said angrily: "What the hell is going on, let's talk about it." ”

"I'm really sorry for disturbing Daddy's good things." Shen Cong said with a smile, took out the letter from his arms and gave it to his father: "This is a letterhead from the palace, father take a good look and get a countermeasure as soon as possible, if there is no countermeasure, then the Shen family's business and the Shen family's economy will suffer heavy losses." ”

Shen Wansan took the envelope and looked back and forth for a long time, and then put the envelope on the table, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were blank.

"Presumably my father has also seen it, every policy of Prime Minister Li Shan's eldest is aimed at us, not only to monopolize the salt and iron business of the imperial court, but also to prohibit our Shen family from participating in grain sales, if these policies are realized, then you know the consequences better than me, so the child has to call his father out tonight." Shen Cong also sat down next to him, took a sip of tea, and said softly.

Shen Wansan let out a sigh: "Is the authenticity of this letter reliable?" ”

"It should be reliable." Shen Cong's heart was speechless for a while, it seemed that his father still had hope for His Majesty the Emperor: "At that time, when Elder Li Shan gave His Majesty the Emperor a speech, Father-in-law Li Xiaolin was next to him, can his news be fake?" ”

"Since ancient times, the salt and iron business has been owned by the imperial court, how can our Shen family be able to enjoy this power, we have made enough profits through this power, since His Majesty the Emperor wants to take it back, then take it back, and we don't want to do anything to resist, so as not to bring disaster to the Shen family." Shen Wansan tapped his fingers on the table and said helplessly.

Of course, Shen Cong has no objection to this: "Oh, then this power will be handed back, and the child has no opinion, but what should I do with these other policies?" ”

"Other policies ......." Shen Wansan's brows tightened.

Shen Cong smiled: "Daddy, you should think of countermeasures first, and the child will go back to rest first, there has been no rest for several days, and his body is very tired." ”

Seriously, Shen Cong really wanted to see what his father could do to deal with it, this matter was not something that could be compromised if he wanted to, after all, His Majesty the Emperor had already blocked the road. Either follow the emperor's path and wait for the Shen family to perish, or take risks to open a road.

The government forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel? Or can't bear it, or do you want to endure it?

Early the next morning, when Shen had not yet gotten up, he received a report from his subordinates: "Young master, master, I have something to look for you." ”

For this result, Shen Cong was expected, quickly dressed and washed, and Shen Cong rushed to the study.

Father Shen Wansan sat at the table with red eyes, obviously sleepless all night.

"Dad, you're looking for me." Looking at his father's haggard appearance, Shen Cong was also a little distressed, yes, Shen Wansan is just a businessman, a businessman who just wants to live a good life, a businessman who keeps to himself, but now he is forced by the emperor to be so embarrassed, the status of businessmen in the Ming Dynasty is very low, if there is no protection from the imperial court, then businessmen will be destroyed at any time, this historical fact Shen Cong knows better than anyone else.

The collapse of the Shen family was not because the Shen family offended the imperial court, but because of the emperor's personal desires, so the Shen family was destined to be sad, and Shen Wansan was sad, no matter what kind of effort was spent to please His Majesty the Emperor, it was inevitable that the tragedy of being wiped out would inevitably be destroyed.

"Go down, all of you." Shen Wansan waved his hand and let everyone go down, leaving Shen Cong alone.

Shen Cong bowed and stood: "Dad, you ...... last night"

"As you can see, was my father able to sleep well last night?" Shen Wansan looked up to the sky and sighed: "My father is just a small businessman, I just hope that the Shen family will be peaceful and peaceful, and the family will have something to rely on, but now I can't even realize such a small request, what is the use of having so much money?" Happiness can't be bought, happiness can't be bought, safety can't be bought, it's really sad. ”

"Dad, you ......" Hearing his father say this, a sense of foreboding rose in Shen Cong's heart.

"It's hard to be in charge, it's not easy to be the head of the Shen family, you said that your father has been like this for most of his life, what else is there to see clearly?" Shen Wansan laughed self-deprecatingly: "You eat more salt for your father than you eat, and you walk more bridges than you walk, what do you say is not clear in your father's heart?" ”

After listening to his father's words, Shen Cong was speechless for a while, he always thought that his father couldn't see the reality clearly, but he didn't expect Shen Wansan's heart to know the reality better than anyone else, as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, how could he not see it? In the end, I am stupid.

"The situation faced by the Shen family is particularly difficult, this is a typical monarch who wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die. It's like when a person gets older, he is bound to get sick or even die. Shen Wansan twisted his beard and sighed and said: "If you dedicate all the wealth of Wanguan to the emperor, then all the difficulties will be solved, in the end, we all have too much money, if the Shen family is poor, then no one must miss us anymore." ”

Listening to his father's words, Shen Cong was stunned: "So, is my father going to give away Wanguan's family wealth?" ”

"It's not a thought of being a father, is it? Shen Cong, there is one thing you must remember, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as your life is there, then everything is fine, if your life is gone, then there will be nothing. Shen Wansan nodded and said meaningfully.

"The wealth that the ancestors of the Shen family worked so hard for is gone, are you willing, father?" Seeing that his father was going to give away all his property, Shen Cong's heart was not calm all of a sudden, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he would be the heir to this batch of wealth in the future, why should he give this wealth to someone who has nothing to do with it and not keep it for himself.

Shen Wansan took out a box and put it on the table and said, "My father knows that you will definitely not agree, so you can fight it yourself." ”
