Chapter 66: Forgiving and Forgiving (2)
"Patriarch Zheng, please use tea. β
No matter how ugly Zheng Cheng's face was, Gongsun Ming didn't care at all, and when he raised his hand to make tea, he was actually gentle and elegant.
"General Mingjian, Zheng's family education is not strict, so that his younger brother actually did a foolish thing, Zheng is ashamed, and he came to ask the general for his guilt. β
Zheng Cheng really didn't want to talk to Gongsun Ming about those unnutritious greetings, so he went straight to the point.
"Foolish thing? Patriarch Zheng's words are really suspected of avoiding the important and trivial, hey, colluding with Wu Heng and intending to rebel, it's not a very foolish thing, but a big crime of copying and destroying the nine clans, Patriarch Zheng is a person who has read history books a lot, so he shouldn't need to mention something?"
Zheng Cheng said that he was going to bear the guilt, but there was obviously a strong resentment in his words, and in this regard, Gongsun Ming naturally would not be polite to him, and pointed out the inevitability that the Zheng family would be implicated by Zheng Xiao.
"There is a rebellion against my brother, but he has no intention of going from the outside court, and what he did was not the instruction of my Zheng family. β
The reason why Zheng Cheng rushed to see Gongsun Ming was that he was afraid of such a Zhulian, and when he heard Gongsun Ming say this, Zheng Cheng was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly cursed.
"Heh, for the crime of rebellion, how does the law of my Han Dynasty stipulate, presumably Patriarch Zheng will not be unclear, so it is not enough to say, if Patriarch Zheng has nothing to do, please go back. β
Gongsun Ming never believed in such a thing as a gambling curse, besides, the reason why he released the rumor that he wanted to try Zheng Xiao was to take a look at the "sincerity" of the Zheng family, but now as soon as Zheng Cheng's quibbling attitude came out, Gongsun Ming didn't plan to talk to him anymore, and when he raised the tea bowl in his hand, he actually issued an order to expel the guest.
"Slow, Zheng knows that he is wrong, and please ask the general to have mercy on my Zheng family, all young and old, and show me a way to live?"
As soon as Gongsun Ming said this, Gongsun Leng who was standing on the side immediately walked over, and he was going to forcibly send off the guests, as soon as he saw this, Zheng Chengke really couldn't stabilize his gods, how dare he show any more anger, hurriedly bowed down, and begged for mercy.
"Yushan, what did you say earlier about my Youyou and Bo Er's spending budget for the next month?"
Gongsun Ming ignored Zheng Cheng's confession, turned his head to look at Wang He, who was nervous, and asked a question.
"If you go back to the general, it should be about 70,000 guan, but it's just ......"
Seeing that Gongsun Ming insisted on carrying out the blackmail to the end, Wang He secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Gongsun Ming's intentions, and after muttering for a while, he could only do what Gongsun Ming wanted.
"The general cherishes and loves the people, and would rather suffer himself, but also reduce taxes to benefit the people, Zheng is really admired, in order to show respect, my Zheng family is willing to contribute 70,000 yuan of wealth to help the general's great cause. β
Seventy thousand is not a small amount, although the Zheng family can be called rich, but if you want to come up with such a large sum of money, it will also have to hurt your vitality, but the Zheng family has been forced to the corner now, even if you are reluctant, this money to buy your life, you still have to pay after all, in this regard, although Zheng Cheng is fiercely greeting Gongsun Ming's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, but he is very decisive.
"Patriarch Zheng is so anxious for justice and righteousness, and he thanked the people of the state for his generosity, but the state has national laws, but he can't accept Patriarch Zheng's kindness in vain. β
Rao is Zheng Cheng had already gritted his teeth and accepted the punishment, but Gongsun Ming actually played the trick of setting up the archway at this time, and even the green tendons on Zheng Cheng's forehead jumped wildly for a while.
"General Mingjian, my Zheng family lives in Youzhou, and it should be right to do some practical things for the people in the state, but because it has been difficult in the past, now I can share the worries of the general and make the people benefit, and my Zheng family is duty-bound. β
Zheng Cheng was really angry with Gongsun Ming's shamelessness, but how could he not allow him not to bow his head when he was under the eaves at this time, and in desperation, he could only beg Gongsun Ming to accept his Zheng family's filial piety.
"Well, isn't it good for the Zheng patriarch to have this heart, I heard that the Zheng family is not only very popular, but also many clansmen are engaged in business, footprints all over the north and south of the river, and even the Zheng family's caravan can be seen on the grassland, can there be such a thing?"
Rao is Zheng Cheng had already lowered his voice to such a field, but Gongsun Ming still did not accept his kindness, and after just commending him without saltiness, he changed the topic.
"In order to maintain the expenses of the clan, Zheng is also a last resort and for this, if the general does not like it, after Zheng goes back, he will order the disbandment of all caravans, and the children of the clan have since thought about it behind closed doors, and they will not be involved in this business and Jia Xiaodao. β
Zheng Cheng really didn't understand Gongsun Ming's intentions, and he didn't dare to ask questions, so he could only express his attitude of not getting involved in state affairs from now on.
"Patriarch Zheng misunderstood, a certain does not look down on the meaning of businessmen, Guanzi, Daxian also, especially dare not ignore business, besides, boy, since ancient times, no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich, this righteous saying also, a certain has always been convinced. β
Gongsun Ming was not in a hurry to explain his intentions, but hinted at it in his words.
'This ......'
Zheng Cheng can lead the huge Zheng family, naturally not an idle generation, just listen to Gongsun Ming's words, immediately know that Gongsun Ming took Zheng Xiao to talk about things, it is Xiang Zhuang Wu Sword intention Pei Gong, dare to love not only for fraud, but to aim at his own business, his heart suddenly sank, there is no other, the Zheng family's economic resources, the tenant rent of the land only accounts for less than 30%, most of the income from the business, don't look at his previous words to close the business, in fact, he is just planning to move the headquarters of the business away from Youzhou, and now when he heard that Gongsun Ming actually planned to move the pot away, Zheng Chengke was really dumbfoundedγ
"Patriarch Zheng guessed well, a certain place is indeed useful to the Zheng family's business, so let's say, there is a great wealth to be given to the Zheng family, it depends on whether the Zheng patriarch has such courage. β
Gongsun Mingduo is a shrewd individual, just one look at Zheng Cheng's face, he knows what he is thinking in his heart, but he doesn't care much, and he still has a relaxed tone.
"This ...... Zheng was stupid and unknown, and asked the general to give advice. β
Hearing Gongsun Ming's words, Zheng Cheng was confused, and the two sides thought for a moment in confusion, still unable to guess what Gongsun Ming's true intentions were, and they didn't dare to promise indiscriminately, and in desperation, they could only pretend to be confused, but in their hearts, they were ready to be knocked on a bamboo pole by Gongsun Ming......
