It is a pastoral landscape painting, and part of the picture depicts an old farmer applying fertilizer in a field, and if you don't look closely, you can't see anything special.

However, Xu Rui saw the problem at a glance, there were more than 20 seedlings behind the old farmer, and the largest and strongest one was not only full of moths, but also had deformed roots, frantically grabbing nutrients from other seedlings.

Only the one that the old farmer is fertilizing is still thriving, and the ears of wheat on the top of the head are full of grains, and there is already a faint momentum of harvest.

Looking at the old farmer's ragged clothes, sweating, withered body, and a state of lack of strength, but a pair of eyes were gently staring at the seedlings in his hands, and his face was full of love.

Xu Rui immediately understood that this painting was clearly a metaphor for the current trend of seizing the heir, and the deformed seedlings were talking about the deep roots of the prince tree and its intertwined roots, but it was corrupt and perverted to endanger the country and seize the vitality of the dynasty.

The other emaciated seedlings were the other princes who represented the Hongwei Emperor, who were either young or imbecile and had no achievements.

The old farmer who fertilized was naturally represented by the magnificent emperor, and the Hongwei emperor in the picture worked hard, getting old and unable to do anything, but he still carefully cultivated the only thriving seedling in his hand.

And that seedling represents the King of Liao, who is not only held in the palm of the emperor's hand, but will soon bear fruit, which not only means that he is the only hope of Great Wei, but also most likely hints that he will win the position of prince in the near future.

actually showed himself such a blatant ambition, and the arrogance and arrogance of the King of Liao had exceeded imagination, which couldn't help but make Xu Rui secretly frightened.

"Master Hou, how is this painting of this king?"

While Xu Rui was thinking, King Han's faint smile seemed to suddenly tug at Xu Rui's heartstrings and make him come back to his senses.

Between the lightning and flint, thousands of thoughts surged in Xu Rui's heart.

At present, the two kings know that he has seen the deep meaning of the painting, if the answer is good, it will represent his support for the Liao King to seize the heir, once the matter is spread, especially to the ears of the Hongwei Emperor, even if he does not have this intention, it will not be clear.

And if he doesn't answer well, it will be tantamount to turning his face on the spot with the King of Liao, not to mention that there is still a lot of cooperation between the two, and he will inevitably suffer a lot of losses after turning his face, that is, the King of Liao will take revenge on himself out of self-preservation, which will definitely cause a huge shadow to sprout many projects that are currently being promoted.

And the most tricky thing is that Han Wang casually launched this landscape painting, as long as Xu Rui answered whether it was good or not, he didn't have the slightest room to stand and move.

Han Wang seems to be tepid, but he hits the nail on the head without revealing himself, he is clearly a very scheming guy who is very ruthless, as long as he finds a loophole, he may be gnawed to the scum.

When he was hesitating, Xu Rui found that the two princes were looking at him in a daze, and their faces were getting more and more ugly, he understood that he couldn't drag it out any longer, and he had to answer immediately no matter what the result was.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao, I heard that you have three factories under construction, which will be completed and put into operation soon?"

Surprisingly, in a hurry, Xu Rui suddenly put aside the landscape painting and asked the King of Liao an irrelevant question.

King Han immediately realized what Xu Rui was thinking, and opened his mouth to force Xu Rui to change the topic back to the topic, but Xu Rui's question happened to be asked on the heart of King Liao, and without waiting for King Han to speak, King Liao nodded first.

"Exactly, the glass, brick and cement factories will be put into operation in two months, and recently the Galaxy Group has been building a lot of construction in Changxing City, these three materials are in short supply, and my father also encouraged us to share the worries of the country as sons, so there are these three factories, I don't know if Gangfeng suddenly asked this, is there something wrong?"

Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, in the development of Galaxy Group, Xu Rui adopted the big and let go of the small, carried out strict planning for the industrial chain, firmly grasped the upstream and front-end, and then subcontracted out the industries with less added value to cultivate other bourgeoisie.

Under the guidance of Xu Rui, adult princes including King Liao, King Yu and Prince of Liao, as well as clans, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen began to invest in factories, and slowly became a part of the industrial chain of Galaxy Group.

And these people, while quickly completing capital accumulation and reaping a lot of profits, will also form the first real bourgeoisie, and once there are conservative forces to attack Xu Rui's blueprint, they will become potential allies.

The three factories mentioned by Xu Rui are worth a lot of money, not only betting on a large amount of money from King Liao, but also a big project that attracts the hearts of the people, so they must be very attentive.

But King Liao himself didn't know how to operate after all, and he couldn't get the essentials of running a factory, so as soon as Xu Rui mentioned it, he became nervous, and even forgot to force Xu Rui to stand in line.

However, Xu Rui knew that the King of Liao was by no means an easy person to fool, even if his attention was temporarily diverted, it would not take long to get back to the point.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you can know that these three factories are not only meager in profit, but also extremely polluting, and over time, they will definitely fall into the reputation of being rich and unkind to the people." ”

"Oh?"

At this time, the King of Liao had probably reacted, but he had always paid attention to his reputation in order to win the heir, and Xu Rui's words were like a bait, hanging his appetite not far away.

"Is what Gangfeng said true?"

King Liao asked.

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Glass, cement and bricks and tiles are all ordinary things, there is no technical content, I heard that there are as many as seven or eight chambers of commerce in the capital, and the competition is so fierce, what profit is there at all?"

Moreover, the production of these three products has a certain degree of danger, especially the burning of bricks and cement, the dust contains highly toxic, and workers will produce diseases after long-term labor. ”

When King Han heard this, he wanted to speak, but King Liao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, frowned and asked: "You are an expert in building a factory, since you say no, then it will definitely not work, but this king has invested a lot of money in it, I don't know what to do?" ”

"What's so hard about that?"

Xu Rui laughed and said: "The institute currently has just two projects ready to be launched, not only will it not pollute the environment, but there are no competitors at all, and the profit margin is as high as 30%.

It just so happens that the prince's factory will not be put into operation in two months, and the original equipment must not have been installed, and now the direct purchase of the new production line not only does not have much loss, but also the time can be much faster. ”

"Are you serious?!"

As soon as these words came out, King Liao was immediately overjoyed, and King Han also frowned and thought about it carefully.

Xu Rui nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true, does the lower official still dare to make fun of the prince?" Otherwise, the money required by the factory will be paid by the lower officials first, and the next official will be paid back when the prince has made a profit! ”

When the King of Liao heard this, he immediately laughed and shook his head: "No, no, it is already a great love for Gangfeng to sell the latest technology to this king, how can this king take advantage of you so much?"

In this way, according to what Gangfeng said, but the money should still be paid by this king, don't say it, it's so decided, this king will never let his colleagues suffer for his own selfish interests. ”

Seeing that the King of Liao was undoubted, Xu Rui was no longer reluctant, just for the sake of embarrassment: "Lord Wang, this matter should be sooner rather than later, otherwise every day of delay will waste thousands of taels of silver, and those two new projects were originally to be tendered today, and the lower officials must immediately rush back to the original base to readjust, otherwise it will not be good if there is any dispute." ”

The King of Liao pointed at Xu Rui and said helplessly: "You iron rooster, you think about your money at all times!" ”

Xu Rui smiled shyly: "Xiaguan is such a bad character, I hope the prince will not be surprised." ”

King Liao shook his head: "Forget it, I specially invited you to visit the mountains and rivers, since you have something to do, this king will not be difficult, you go." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Xu Rui arched his hand towards the two princes, and immediately turned around and left.

The King of Liao looked satisfied, and instructed the maidservants on the left and right to guide Xu Rui.

After a while, King Han, who had been silent, finally seemed to have figured out something, but when he came back to his senses, he saw that Xu Rui had already left, and suddenly exclaimed: "Seventh brother, why did you let him go?" ”

King Liao glanced at him proudly and said, "Xu Rui has already shown me his intentions, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, what does it matter if he stays behind or not?" ”

"He's shown you his heart?"

King Han asked in surprise.

King Liao nodded and said: "The technology of the Galaxy Group has always been Xu Rui's forbidden, and even his father did not intervene rashly, but now he is willing to take it out and share it with this king, hasn't he already accepted the name to this king?" ”

King Han's eyes widened, and he patted his thigh and said, "Alas! Seventh brother, you fell for Xu Rui! ”

King Liao frowned when he heard this: "How can you say this?" ”
