Chapter 5 Determination
Zhang Shang came back to his senses, didn't pay attention to the strange appearance of the two, stared at Zhang Shanli tightly, and said, "Dad, how much money do we have left in our family?" ”
Although Zhang Shanli didn't know why Zhang Shang suddenly asked this, he pondered for a moment and replied: "Over the years, our Zhang family has earned a lot of money with Liuli Realm and other things, but after removing the dividends from the monthly tribute to the Quanzhen Sect and the Yin Sect, there are about 1.5 million taels of silver in reserves, but a considerable part of them are copper coins. ”
One and a half million taels!
Zhang Shang muttered and was speechless for a long time.
Although the Zhang family is a strong party, it has only been a short time to really develop, and it has spent a lot of money on the purchase of industries in Shangluo Town over the years. Not to mention the expansion of the workshop, as well as the characters on the official road, it takes a lot of money. In this way, it is already a very amazing thing to be able to save millions of dollars in just two years.
That's enough money!
Zhang Shang thought of his plan, his face was full of seriousness, and he said with an unprecedented seriousness: "Dad, do you believe me?" ”
Zhang Shanli snorted angrily and scolded: "Stinky boy, what kind of bastard are you talking about." Dad is just your son, who else can you trust if you don't believe it? ”
"I want my father to donate 300,000 taels of silver to the Quanzhen Sect to hold a grand flying ceremony for Chongyang Zhenren!" Zhang Shang paused word by word, and said with a resolute attitude.
He is not afraid of making a big deal now, but he is afraid that Wang Chongyang will want to leave quietly and handle the funeral silently. In that case, even if he resurrected Wang Chongyang, it would be difficult for him to reap the biggest fruit.
Zhang Shang only hopes that the bigger the trouble, the better, and it is best to make the trouble known to Kyushu!
It's a pity that it is not long before Wang Chongyang is buried, otherwise Zhang Shang really doesn't mind hiring more than N sailors to spread the news around. Of course, none of these are the point, the point is that Zhang Shang wants to take the opportunity of donating 300,000 taels of silver to hype up topics for himself and brush up on faith points.
"What!"
Zhang Shanli and Wang Xiaoman exclaimed at the same time, and then looked at Zhang Shang in disbelief, their eyes full of doubts and incomprehension.
Wang Chongyang died, and the Zhang family can be said to be missing the biggest honor guard. At this critical moment when the situation is unclear, the most important thing the Zhang family should do is to keep a low profile, and the less obtrusive the better. But Zhang Shang's words undoubtedly roasted the Zhang family on the fire.
Zhang Shanli and the two are both old rivers and lakes, so naturally they would not be stupid enough to think that the Zhang family would provide 300,000 taels of silver to the Quanzhen Sect, and they would desperately protect the Zhang family in the future. I'm afraid that the funding of 300,000 silver will only make more people look at the Zhang family's property!
After all, not everyone has the demeanor and integrity of Wang Chongyang's real person.
"Shang'er, you." Wang Xiaoman frowned and said in a low voice.
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Shanli gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay, Dad promised you." ”
After Zhang Shanli finished speaking, he seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the Taishi chair. His eyes were slightly closed, his face was a little pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Shang'er, you have to remember." You are the only heir of the Zhang family, and this family business will still be handed over to you in the future! ”
Zhang Shang looked at Zhang Shanli excitedly, his heart full of warmth.
He straightened his clothes, bowed respectfully, and said seriously: "Shang'er understands that he will live up to his father's expectations." ”
He understands that there are some things that don't need to be said much. Some people don't need to listen to too many explanations.
Just like Zhang Shanli can chase him all over the yard for a thousand taels, eager to break his legs, or he can not hesitate to give 300,000 taels to support his decision.
When Zhang Shang left, Wang Xiaoman glanced at Zhang Shanli angrily, and snorted: "You old thing, don't ask Shang'er what he wants to do." Our Zhang family is going to be in the limelight this time. ”
Zhang Shanli sighed and said with relief: "Shang'er has grown up, and it is always a good thing to have her own decisions. Although 300,000 taels of silver is a lot, my Zhang family can still afford it. And with these 300,000 taels of silver, I can delay for my Zhang family for a while. ”
Zhang Shanli said the back, showing a faint smile.
Even if some people are jealous of the Zhang family's property, but under the worship of these 300,000 taels of silver, the Quanzhen Sect will definitely do its best to protect the Zhang family. After all, the Zhang family had just offered 300,000 taels of silver to the Quanzhen Sect, and if they were bullied by the people in the rivers and lakes in the blink of an eye, they would lose the face of the Quanzhen Sect.
The world has to think that you can't even protect the local tyrants who contributed 300,000 taels of silver, even if we pay the protection fee, we can still expect you to protect it. Other forces will even think, without Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen Sect, is it no longer possible, can it still be called the world's largest religion?
At that time, whether it was for the sake of their own face or for the rich worship of the Zhang family in the future, they would have to strictly protect the safety of the Zhang family.
Of course, this is only the worst guess.
Wang Xiaoman was born as a child of the rivers and lakes, and he was able to stand out from the demonic sect like the Yin Sect, so he was naturally not a fool without brains. She was only puzzled for a few breaths before she understood Zhang Shanli's plan.
"You." Wang Xiaoman let go of the worry in his heart and glanced at him coquettishly.
Zhang Shanli looked at the beauty and charming, his heart was hot, and he couldn't wait to pull his wife to talk about his life ideals. It's just that he thought of the current situation and said seriously: "What Shang'er said earlier is not unreasonable, I will go to Chang'an in person." You also go and talk about Madame Ya's tone, and see what the Yin Sect is going to do. ”
Wang Xiaoman nodded seriously, but the worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
With the Yin Sect there, she wasn't worried. But since the Yin Sect experienced the chaos of Wuzhou, its power has long been much worse than before. Today's Yin Sect can only be regarded as a second-rate top force at most, and compared with the Chongyang Palace, the first major sect in the north, and the Shaolin Temple and other big forces, it is not a little bit worse.
For ordinary people, the Yin Sect can already be regarded as a behemoth, but it is far from enough to protect the Zhang family.
On that day, at noon.
The scorching sun hung high and was as hot as fire, barely dispelling the chill of early spring. The great official who went to Chang'an was peaceful and calm, and there was no panic at all, obviously the news of Wang Chongyang's feathering and ascending to immortal was still spreading.
A large sumptuous carriage galloped by, carrying smoke and dust along the way.
"Stinky boy, I'm going to do business with your mother, what do you say you have to follow." Zhang Shanli frowned, glanced at Zhang Shang dissatisfiedly, and snorted angrily.
The Zhang family acted in a high-profile manner this time and was destined to stand on the cusp of the limelight. As the head of the Zhang family, he is the world-famous god of wealth in the north, so it is naturally impossible to dodge. But he didn't want his precious son to be exposed to the eyes of the world in a hurry and get too much attention.
In the future, the Zhang family will suffer, maybe this is a ray of life!
Zhang Shang shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "It is a matter of life and death for my Zhang family, and the child naturally has to do his part." I need to go to Chang'an to find a friend to find out some news, my father went to Chang'an today to meet the second uncle, and please don't mention the 300,000 taels of silver for the time being. ”
Zhang Shanli looked puzzled and glanced at him speechlessly.
It was you who proposed to pay a tribute of 300,000 taels of silver, and now it is you who say not to mention 300,000 taels of silver. What do you mean by what do you mean, should we give this money or not?
Do you know that when you promise to give away the 300,000 taels of silver, Lao Tzu's heart seems to have been chopped to pieces!
Zhang Shang groaned: "300,000 taels of silver must be sent, but we took the initiative to send it, but it fell into the prestige and affection of the Zhang family." It's better to let Quanzhen teach himself to beg, and it can also show the kindness and affection of my Zhang family. ”
Zhang Shang naturally didn't say it, and wanted to see if he could find the best opportunity to brush up on faith points. For him, the system is the biggest killer feature, and it is also the foundation of the world, and it must not be leaked casually.
Zhang Shanli and the others were speechless, and they didn't know how to evaluate Zhang Shang's whimsy.
The Quanzhen Sect is stupid, so he will take the initiative to come to our Zhang family.
Besides, it's not that the Quanzhen Sect doesn't have its own financial reserves, even if it can't be compared with the Zhang family, but more than ten or two hundred thousand should still be easily taken out.
Zhang Shang smiled and did not explain, looking at the majestic city looming in the distance, his eyes flashed a little deep.
It's time for a change!
