Xu Wenhan didn't have the slightest intention of bargaining, and refused to compensate without thinking. Yang Zhi saw that he was calm and unhurried, his eyes were cunning, and his face was indifferent, and he couldn't help but secretly complain.

Yang Zhi is by no means a foolish person. His troubles have just begun, and although he doesn't know how deep the water behind him is, he knows very well: he has been involved in a game that he can't afford to play, and he has accidentally provoked someone he can't afford to mess with. The great ideal of being a rich man who enjoys life is tantamount to a death sentence.

The crown prince and King Ning are both sons of Emperor Xia, and although the crown prince is the legitimate heir to the throne, he may not necessarily be the next Emperor of Great Xia. Tang Taizong Li Shimin is the best example. The father-in-law Shen Zitong and the brother-in-law Shen Chong are undoubtedly loyal supporters of the prince, and it is difficult to say whether they came to recruit on the orders of the prince, and it is difficult to make Yang Zhi have full confidence in the strength of the prince based on the performance of the father and son alone. Even if you have the heart to take refuge, it seems too far away, and the future is not clear.

No matter what the purpose of King Ning was to rob the gold, as the prince who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to confront Southern Chu, at least it showed that he had both the ambition to covet the throne and the strength. But choosing King Ning is tantamount to making enemies of the crown prince and the Qin family, judging from the burning of Sihai Tower, the kidnapping of Yang Yan and Shen Yu, and forcing him to use Qin Kongyun's head as a vote, it is definitely not a good bird to save fuel.

Without the emperor's acquiescence and behind-the-scenes support, the Qin clan would not have had the wealth and vast underground power of the country. No matter which prince controls such a terrifying force, the emperor will never tolerate it. Therefore, the Qin clan is destined to only hug the emperor's thigh and remain neutral in the open and secret battles of the princes. However, Qin's situation was destined to be painful and contradictory, not only to deal with the emperor's suspicions, but also to fully consider the future of the remaining emperor after his death.

Xu Wenhan had already expected that the Qin family was Yang Zhi's only realistic choice at present. The Qin family spared no effort to bring Xu Wenhan, Yang Zhi and other characters under his command, but in fact, the purpose was the same as Yang Zhi's, all for self-preservation. You're smart, and people aren't stupid. Since each has its own needs, Yang Zhi, as a lonely party, is obviously passive, why does the Qin family let you blackmail?

In the first round, Yang Zhi had already lost the wind, but it was obviously naïve to leave his sleeves, and he said calmly: "So Mr. is going to repay the debt?" Even life and property are not guaranteed, how can I dare to cooperate with the Qin family? Sir, have you ever thought that if the Qin clan is unwilling to compensate, there are other people who are willing to compensate me. ”

Xu Wenhan replied-for-tat: "I don't dare to receive the word "debt", so I can only return it." If I remember correctly, the Qin clan had already paid a huge amount of compensation of up to 120,000 taels of silver, including many unheard-of losses. Later, when Gongzi calmly accepted Qin's generous gift, he claimed that he had no friendship with Qin Gongzi and did not owe each other, so how could he say that he was in debt? There are many natural disasters without warning** There are many in the world, who dares to guarantee that life and property will be worry-free? So it's not that the Qin clan is unwilling to compensate, but that it shouldn't. As for the other people who are willing to pay for their son, they have nothing to do with the Qin family. ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yang Zhi heard it: If there are really other people who are willing to be wronged, can you come to me? The Qin clan is your only realistic choice at the moment!

Shen Yuben also thought that it was inappropriate to come to the door to make a claim, but he didn't expect Xu Wenhan to refuse so simply, and he was immediately ashamed, and urged Yang Zhi to leave quickly, but Yang Zhi still sat still expressionless.

Xu Wenhan was unconscious of the reaction of the two, and said with a smile: "In the past, I listened to Qin Gongzi's detailed description, and Gongzi was able to analyze the current situation from the rise and fall of prices and keenly capture business opportunities, I greatly admire him. Ordinary people who read books are either pretentious and ashamed of their words, or they are obsessed with fame and yearn for wealth, and very few people pay attention to the national economy and people's livelihood with their hearts. If you can't apply what you've learned, what's the use of reading? I ask myself if I'm not a pedantic person who just talks about it. Two years ago, when I discussed with my son why we study, although you and I have different opinions, we have different goals. If you can promote the unification of the world and the rest of the people, why can't the prince enjoy peace at that time? ”

Xu also knows a little about the way of economy. According to my calculations, the loss of Sihailou will not exceed 5,000 taels, and the profit within three months of the reconstruction will be at most 10,000 taels. In other words, even if you want to pay, it should be within 20,000 taels at most, and Gongzi will ask for 50,000 taels when he opens his mouth, do you really think that Qin's money is so easy to earn? ”

Xu Wenhan stopped and looked at Yang Zhi with a smile. His article can be described as full of twists and turns, first attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, refuting Yang Zhi's claim for nothing, and then offering a high hat with his backhand, and finally there was a hint of loosening. Not only did Shen Yu feel dizzy, but even Yang Zhi was a little dizzy when he heard it.

If Yang Zhi's shrewdness and sophistication largely come from the accumulation of knowledge and experience in his previous life, but the old man in front of him is quick-witted and eloquent, and he can easily use carrots and sticks between talking and laughing, and he can definitely be called a cow native to this world!

Yang Zhi knew that if he didn't express his position again, it would be self-defeating and make Xu Wenhan look down on him from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately, his face was not ordinarily thick: "I just wanted to make a joke, and I didn't want to cause a grand discussion from Mr. Regarding the compensation of Sihailou, Mr. said that the compensation is as much as it is, and I have nothing to say. If Mr. Tomorrow is free, please deign to come to the Humble House to discuss specific cooperation matters. How is it? ”

He is always not in a hurry or impatient, although it is not decentible to lose a single loss, but he is still not ambiguous about the money. Xu Wenhan laughed and said: "It's not easy to get an invitation from the son, how dare you miss it?" I have heard that Gongzi's cooking skills are excellent, even if it is a little more expensive, he will definitely have a feast tomorrow! ”

After Yang Zhi took Shen Yu out, Shen Yu muttered, "You and Mr. Xu are considered to have finished talking?" You're a man...... The skin is inevitably too thick. …… How are you going to work together? ”

"Full cooperation. If the conversation with Mr. Xu goes well tomorrow, I am afraid that our wedding date will have to be postponed. ”

"What are you talking about for no reason? …… I knew that you never took me to heart! ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I think that when you two brothers and sisters came to Xinyang in a fierce manner, it didn't seem that they wanted me to take you to heart, right?" ”

Shen Yu couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious: "...... Didn't you say you were a fool back then? Now I know that you're not just a fool, you're simply a lunatic! ”

The core purpose of Yang Zhi's cooperation with Qin's family is to ensure the safety of his family as much as possible and solve his own worries. No matter how bad the father's previous character was, he can be said in good conscience that he is wholeheartedly devoted to his son, and there is no half-falsehood. But now the question is, how can we convince the old man to accept his comprehensive cooperation plan?
