Volume 5 Jiangnan 480 Temple Chapter 551 Ambition (I)
After a deep conversation, I didn't realize that the East was aware.
Gu Yaohua, who was a little golden from the sunlight shining through the window, still had a deep entanglement on his face, obviously he couldn't make up his mind so happily.
Sun Ning's face was still that calm and breezy look, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and he only asked lightly: "What kind of forces are you talking about in Quzhou this time?" ”
Without thinking too much, Gu Yaohua opened his mouth and replied: "Shanyin Yao family, Huazhou Ling family, and Wenzhou Zhu family......"
"Oh?" Sun Ning smiled a little dumbly, "I really didn't expect that the nine surnames of Jiangnan would actually gather at this moment!" ”
The so-called nine wealthy families in Jiangnan are nine families distributed in various parts of Jiangnan, with a history of at least more than 100 years, and have great local influence.
They are the Su family and the Wu family in Suzhou, the Gu family in Jinling, the Lu family in Yangzhou, the Xie family and the Qian family in Hangzhou, the Yao family in Shanyin, the Zhang family in Quzhou, the Ling family in Huazhou, and the Zhu family in Wenzhou......
Judging from the number of distribution, it is obvious that there are more wealthy families in Zhejiang, but in terms of the influence and strength of each family, it is the three families in the Suyang territory that are stronger. Even if all the families in Zhejiang are put together, they may not be the opponents of the Gu family and the Lu family, especially the Gu family, which is known as the king of Jiangnan.
And although these nine wealthy families have more or less connections and friendships, they are also rivals who compete with each other, and the secret fighting has never stopped on weekdays.
Take this rebellion in western Zhejiang, the three families in Suyang were too late to react, and the Qian family in Hangzhou has always been low-key, but the other families in Zhejiang are obviously restless, and have begun to try to contact the rebels, intending to control Quzhou, a key place in the south of the Yangtze River, by cooperating with them.
Not to mention anything else, just a few major minerals here are enough to make these wealthy families flock to it.
"They've all sent a very important person in charge of the family to consult with you, right?" Sun Ning asked again.
"Yes, these people have promised us a lot of benefits. As long as the two sides cooperate, they can not only send troops to help us keep Quzhou and the surrounding areas safe, but also those mines, we can also dig together, and then share the benefits......"
Gu Yaohua's answer made Sun Ning laugh again: "It's a normal negotiation skill, for them, if they want to win Quzhou at this time, they will have to pay an extremely tragic price, and even if they win, they will face the robberies of other wealthy families in turn, so it is better to join hands with you and share the benefits together." ”
Gu Yaohua sighed with some distress: "They also offered to provide them with more than 100,000 stone of grain first, as well as 150,000 taels of silver, which is enough for us brothers to stay in Quzhou for a year and a half." ”
"The temptation is not small, and with this money and food, you will indeed be able to put down roots here. may be able to replace the Zhang family and become the future master of Quzhou and even western Zhejiang. Sun Ning echoed again.
"Ahem...... Liang Wentong coughed twice, gave Sun Ning a look, and said, "I really don't think these wealthy families have such good intentions, the more benefits they promise, the more they want to get more benefits from them!" ”
"Brother Liang is right, these nine wealthy families are all human spirits, and they are no different from businessmen, and they only invest to double or even ten times the profits. Of course, if you can keep all the mineral deposits near Quzhou, you will definitely be able to grab a lot of benefits from them. ”
"Brother Sun......" Liang Wentong couldn't help it anymore, and reminded him out loud, "Are you exaggerating?" ”
Are you trying to push people on the other side? He actually analyzed the benefits, and he was really afraid that he would suddenly change his mind at this time?
Although he didn't say these words, the meaning in his expression was already obvious.
Sun Ning laughed: "If Brother Gu was really a mercenary person who could be moved by the immediate benefits, he would not have had a big dispute with those people last night, and he was still hesitant until now." ”
As he spoke, he paused again and looked at Gu Yaohua, whose face had changed: "Brother Gu, let's tell your true thoughts and concerns in your heart." As long as we can solve it, we will not stand idly by. ”
Gu Yaohua glanced at Sun Ning with some surprise, but he didn't expect that this former enemy was the person who knew him best, and he knew more than Brother Liang, who had been friends for many years.
But in an instant, he regained his composure, and his face became more solemn than before: "The benefits they promised me are not worth mentioning in my opinion.
"All the riches and glories, the gold and silver mansions, as far as I am concerned, are just small profits. What I want is that those brothers, as well as the people of Jiangnan who are from the same hardships as us, can live a good life, and no longer have to be oppressed and exploited by Buddhism and their wealthy families!
"Yes, as long as I nod my head, we brothers can indeed live a good life, and we can get gold and silver, food, farmland, and even women that we never dared to think of before...... And then half of those minerals will belong to us, which is enough for us, so that our children and grandchildren will no longer have to worry about hunger and cold, and let us become the next Zhang family......
"However, when that time comes, what is the difference between us and the Zhang family, and what is the difference between us and those bastards that we have always resisted and are hostile to?
"So if you ask me what I want, I just want the people of Jiangnan to no longer have to live a life where they were bullied and oppressed like before, and they can't even be fed and clothed!"
Although Gu Yaohua's words were not too loud, they fell into the ears of the other three people in the room, but they were no lighter than thunder and thunderbolts, Hong Zhong Dalu.
Especially Sun Ning, his eyes showed a different light.
This person's ideals are far beyond the perception of this era, and may even seem to many people to be a completely crazy person's idea.
This idea is written in a book to deceive the ignorant people of the world, not to really use it as its own goal. Because that would only make him the enemy of the entire Jiangnan Hao clan, and no one would really agree to his request.
It was Liang Wentong, who was shocked, but also shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly: "I'm afraid that no one can help you realize your ideal, or even ......."
"No, I promise you, I'll help you realize this great ideal together!" Sun Ning suddenly interrupted the other party's words from the side.
When several other people looked at him in surprise, he looked at Gu Yaohua solemnly: "But not now, but in the future, when the world is decided, when we work together to eradicate the nine surnames of Jiangnan and those Buddhism who deceive and exploit the people, we will create a truly fair and prosperous Jiangnan!" ”
