"Yi'er, it's been a year and a half since you went up the mountain, how do you feel during this time?"

In the study, Xu Chun and Xu Yi were left at this time.

Although he really wanted Xu Yi to give up the idea of practicing martial arts, Xu Chun didn't act in a hurry, took a sip of tea slowly, and then spoke lightly.

has been the head of the family for so many years, has managed so many businesses of the Xu family, and has dealt with many people, Xu Chun understands very well that if he wants to achieve his goals in conversation, he definitely does not rely on speaking loudly, it requires skills!

Xu Chun, who has mastered all kinds of conversation skills, uses step-by-step techniques at this time, through step-by-step inquiry, without hurry, little by little, Xu Yi himself realizes the difficulty of practicing martial arts, and then makes him give up the idea of practicing martial arts.

For today, Xu Chun has been preparing for half a year, and according to what he knows about his son's character, he has scrutinized it hundreds of times, including every reaction, and he feels that he must be foolproof.

"Dad, what do you think our Xu family lacks the most now?"

"Huh?"

Xu Chun was stunned.

It's not in his preset answer!

Xu Yi smiled in his heart, he had already seen Xu Chun's thoughts, although he didn't know so many conversation skills, he knew how to make the other party not understand - just interrupt the other party's rhythm.

The most important thing in the conversation is the rhythm, and the person who controls the rhythm will have a great advantage.

Interrupt the other person's rhythm and drag the conversation into your own rhythm and you'll be in control.

Of course, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it's not so easy to really do, interrupting the other party's rhythm, not that you can say whatever you want, the topic you bring up must be of great interest to the other party!

Otherwise, no one will pay attention to you, so why would you drag the conversation into your own rhythm?

And what Xu Yi is talking about now is obviously a topic that Xu Chun is very interested in - what is the Xu family lacking at present?

As soon as Xu Chun heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.

is similar to Yue Buqun, what he cares about most is his family, how to make his family better has always been what he wants to do the most!

And from a certain point of view, the situation he and Yue Buqun encountered was actually very similar - they both had peaks.

In its heyday, the Xu family was not only the largest family in Huayin County, but its influence even spread to the entire territory of Shaanxi and even the surrounding provinces.

The Huashan faction a few decades ago was indeed powerful, and the Xu family, which was backed by the Huashan faction, naturally rose with it.

It's a pity that with the decline of the sword qi battle of the Huashan faction, the Xu family also declined, although it is not as miserable as the Huashan faction, but now it is basically shrunk in Huayin County, and even in Huayin County, it is no longer the first family, and it has been caught up by other families.

Xu Chun was born and raised at that peak, and experienced how beautiful and glorious the Xu family was in its heyday.

As the only remaining head of the Xu family, how could he not want the Xu family to return to that heyday?

Therefore, Xu Yi's topic directly made him fall into contemplation.

It's just that before Xu Chun could give an answer, Xu Yi asked himself and said his answer.

"It's power! What we lack now is strength! ”

"Strength?"

Xu Chun frowned.

"That's right."

Xu Yi nodded.

"More than ten years ago, what happened to our Xu family, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right? If it weren't for you and my mother at that time······ Maybe our Xu family doesn't necessarily exist now. ”

He didn't elaborate, and his son couldn't elaborate on this kind of thing, but the meaning was already obvious.

Back then, with the decline of the Huashan faction's sword qi dispute, the Xu family was actually hit very seriously, after all, the bigger the body, the stronger the enemy they faced!

At that time, the Huashan faction, which was the backer of the Xu family, was too busy to take care of itself, so naturally it was not able to help the Xu family.

At that critical time, if Xu Chun hadn't decisively given up his interests outside Huayin County and married Xu Liu, the current Xu Yi's mother, maybe there would really be no Xu family now.

"Go on."

Xu Chun's face was calm, although he was a little embarrassed to be told such a thing by his son in person, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did back then, so he quickly stabilized.

Just like Xu Yi said, if he hadn't done that at that time, the Xu family might have ceased to exist a long time ago!

"Dad, I can guess some of your thoughts, if I'm not bad as I expected······ You probably want me to take part in the scientific expedition, right? Xu Yi seemed to be questioning, but in fact said firmly.

"Huh?"

Xu Chun looked at Xu Yi in some surprise.

It seems that he didn't expect him to guess so accurately!

"It's not hard to guess."

Xu Yi shook his head slightly.

"In this world, there are only two kinds of forces that can play a decisive role, first, the warrior, and second, the country. If you don't want me to follow the path of a martial artist, then there is only one way left to take the imperial examination with the help of the power of the state. ”

Although at this time, the capital power of this country has begun to sprout, and in the southeast coastal area, there are even strong capital prototypes, if it is normal history, it is not without a way out just to do business.

But in this martial arts world after the magic reform, the reason why these big capital families who seem to only do business can also rise up is also because they have an inextricable relationship with the major martial arts forces.

Either they are a family of warriors, or they rely on powerful forces behind them, or they have various connections with the imperial court.

All in all, in this world where martial artists can play a big role, it is difficult to get up just by doing business and accumulating wealth.

In other words, he can't keep his wealth at all!

In this world, even the so-called imperial court is a martial arts force in a sense, but the largest martial arts force.

Xu Chun's idea of borrowing the power of the imperial court, from this point of view, can also be said to be his backer in disguise from the Huashan faction, a declining warrior force, to the 'warrior' force of the Ming Dynasty.

Change the door!

This is Xu Chun's thoughts.

If it is changed to other forces like Shaolin Wudang, then this practice will definitely be looking for death, but due to the particularity of the Ming Dynasty, the problem is not so big.

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Xu Chun's idea, and it can even be said to be very good!

The Huashan faction is indeed no longer suitable to be the backer of their Xu family.

However, from the analysis of the present or the future analysis of the Huashan faction in the original book, it is not a good choice to take refuge in the Huashan faction at this time.

If Xu Yi hadn't opened the golden finger, he would also carefully consider Xu Chun's thoughts and leave a way back for himself and even the Xu family.

But now······
