Although these people are not good-looking, Wan Qiming didn't expect that they were still a relatively good merchant family in Yuanwu.

They don't look like the apocalypse, and they are still engaged in agriculture and commerce.

They have rich people here to be the boss, and having money means that you have a thick waist and a large number of people you can feed, so you have an advantage.

That's why Zhongli proposed to him before that he must first encircle the various families, use this matter to maintain their relationship, and then increase his strength.

"I'm Gong Shangen, the second son of the current head of the Gong family!"

The surnamed Gong opened his mouth directly, and after he opened his mouth, Wan Qiming immediately understood what the other party wanted to express.

He is the second son, but if he remembers correctly, the Gong family should be the so-called eldest son, that is, the son-in-law inherited the family business.

Sure enough, so did everyone else.

is not the second son of these families, or the concubine.

This made Wan Qiming's heart a little more reassured, if Zhongli could really pry all the business circles in their country so easily, it would only be a very simple matter to change a dynasty.

After all, even the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from them.

Zhongli took the opportunity to agitate beside him.

"We all know very well what you think, it's just to prove that you're not worse than anyone else, but you just don't get the opportunity. But is the future that your fathers and brothers have chosen for themselves? Haven't you heard of the current emperor's exploitation of them since you returned home? ”

Zhongli's words were not sensational.

The emperor is probably very short of money, and since he came to the throne, he has been expropriating and expropriating, and this is not counting, he has set his eyes on those super families, and these merchants, they are very wealthy, so they want to ask for a little flower from their hands.

After all, in the emperor's opinion, this Yuanwu is his in the whole world, and it's normal to spend a little money, isn't it?

But he forgot that these people are businessmen, and the nature of businessmen is to chase profits. He can't bring them enough profits, and even have to take money off them, who can not feel bad?

You know, it's hard to spit out what you eat, and they won't want to send it out if they make money.

As a result, this provides Zhongli with a big gap.

And Wan Qiming looked at them fixedly.

He knows more about himself, the Fifth Emperor Brother, than others, although he seems to be harmless to livestock, but in fact, he is a smiling tiger.

He can smile and watch you be slashed like that.

So, he also added a few words on the side.

"Moreover, there are still a few princes who are eyeing that seat, and his throne may not be able to sit firmly. I heard that Emperor Daxing did not leave any edict before he passed away, so it is unknown whether he was an emperor above board. ”

Zhongli almost admired Wan Qiming.

At this time, it's not the occasion to say these things at all, right?

However, the words of the people have already been spoken, and she naturally can't drop the chain at the critical moment, she met the frowning and suspicious eyes of the others, coughed lightly, and asked those women to all step back, and then lowered her voice and spoke slowly.

"Do you know the missing Seven Princes? was persecuted by this five emperor brothers, had to be incognito, and disappeared. You say, if we find the Seventh Prince, and then push him to the throne, and do a dragon work, how about it? ”

Although several people are not the children valued by their fathers, they are not stupid at all, and after listening to them, they looked at Zhongli suspiciously.

"How do you know that we won't be another Fifth Prince? When the five princes were still the five princes before, they were always warm, and even humbly asked for advice when they didn't know something! But now, it's almost like it's going to be compared with God! ”

The man of the An family snorted lightly and tugged at the corners of his lips with disdain.

It's just that his gaze fell on Zhongli's body with interest, and a different kind of spark flashed in it.

"It's just that Miss Zhong said this, does it mean ......?"

He didn't finish it, but everyone understood what he meant.

Zhongli didn't shy away from it, nodded directly at them, sat down on the stool next to him, got himself a glass of wine, and raised his head to drink it.

"Risk, high risk, high investment, high return. If you want to get more, you have to take some risks. Therefore, our master chose the Seven Princes. ”

Several people glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Zhongli to be so honest.

Zhongli looked at them and smiled.

"I know you still have some doubts in your heart, but don't worry, you can go back and discuss it with your family. If this thing doesn't work out in the end, it's just that our own investment has failed, and it has nothing to do with our families. But if it is done, then the right to speak in your family will be ......."

When talking to smart people, only half of it.

Zhongli lowered his eyes, poured himself another glass of wine with his wine glass, and poured himself a drink with a smile.

And Wan Qiming, who was next to him, also smiled when he saw this scene.

"Everybody's a man, so let's be happy. People like us, if they don't fight for their own strength and live on others every day, they might as well die! ”

The loneliness on his face was clearly seen.

"This Wan Gongzi, you are also a concubine at home?"

Wan Qiming thought about the things in the palace, and nodded lightly and smiled bitterly.

"It's not just a concubine, it's not even ranked, if it weren't for my mother's maid giving me ideas when I was a child to let my father notice me, maybe I would have been abused to death in that corner now, where could I live so big?"

When it comes to this, even Wan Qiming himself is embarrassed.

The group dispersed.

Zhongli looked at Wan Qianming with a strange expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Zhongli shook his head.

"I thought the emperor liked you because your mother was very favored."

Wan Qiming's eyes quickly crossed a dark color, and then disappeared suddenly, and he snorted lightly.

"Favored, lucky? Is there anyone in the palace who can live for a long time because of pets and luck? She probably thought so at the beginning, so she wholeheartedly hoped that her husband could protect herself. But she didn't know that when it came to concubines, she was not qualified. The emperor is affectionate and affectionate, how could he stay alone for her? The novelty of a period of time is gone, and there is nothing. ”

Seeing Wan Qiming like this, Zhongli was a little unnatural himself.

After all, she heard something she shouldn't have heard, and she should have known that that place was as deep as the sea.

It's just that Wan Qiming's narration still hasn't stopped.

"I remember that if it weren't for that snowy day, my mother's maid came up with the idea of sprinkling water in the garden to freeze and make the concubine slip and let me pounce on it as a mat, maybe I wouldn't be where I am now."

Zhongli looked at Wan Qiming like that, and couldn't help but feel a tug in his heart.

"So what? After so many years, is it worth it for that position? ”

Wan Qiming nodded.

"Of course it's worth it. Even for the sake of my dead mother and her maid, it was worth it. They want me to climb all the way up, and only when I climb to the top will their death be meaningful. ”

Not for his mother, but for the palace maid, right?

Even if Wan Qiming didn't say it, Zhongli could guess the fate of that woman.

accidentally spilled water here, almost made the concubine fall, and even in case of a child, it hurt the fetal gas, but it's a big deal.

No matter what the palace maid had, after coming up with this idea, she must have committed suicide long before the emperor found her.

Left behind a child who looked gentle and kind, but was lonely and full of thorns.

Three days passed.

Yuanwu's dealer has almost received it, Zhongli Lao Shen is staying at home on the ground, and when he is bored, he takes a brush to practice calligraphy, and lives a leisurely and comfortable life.

And Wan Qiming is accompanied by Zhongli, even if he doesn't do anything every day, he feels comfortable.

It's just that a few people outside were in a hurry, and they came to invite people several times, and finally when it was the fifth time, Zhongli agreed.

Wan Qiming asked Zhongli with some curiosity.

"I thought three times would be enough!"

"Enough? No, no, no, it's not enough. I'm just saying that we don't worry if they don't come, and we're having a good time. Besides, if you don't improve your compulsion, who knows about you? Stop dreaming! ”

Only after impressing the other party can some ideas be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Wan Qiming and Zhongli went out to the banquet, and as soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by a group of people.

"Wan Gongzi, Miss Zhong, come on, watch the tea, take a seat."

Wan Qiming still maintained his appearance as a beautiful son, bowed his head and sipped tea without speaking, but handed over all the right to speak to Zhongli.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but everyone is still in style."

Zhongli smiled as if he hadn't seen the eagerness in their eyes.

A few people watched him greet them unhurriedly, they were in a hurry!

"Zhong Gongzi, don't be kidding! Don't you know what we look like? ”

The man surnamed Gong touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

After they went back last time, they told their family what they had said to Zhongli, but who would have thought that his eldest brother was making trouble to separate the family from him, and his father decided to cut off relations with him, if it wasn't for his mother being around, maybe he would not be the Gong family a long time ago.

And a few others are about the same.

That's why they thought of what Wan Qiming said at the beginning.

Indeed, who doesn't want to make a big career out of a man? Rather than eating and waiting for death under the hands of the eldest brother in the future, and looking up to others every day, it is better to fight hard.

If they don't fight well, they don't have the ability.

If it really succeeds, the sky will fall, and the time will ......

Gong Shangen thought of this, his heart was full of fire, and he raised his head and arched his hand towards Zhongli.

"Wan Gongzi, Miss Zhong, no matter what others do, my old Gong, you must try it!"
