"One hundred thousand?"

Cao Xi, the head of the Cao family, looked at the housekeeper Cao Heping in surprise: "Are you sure he said he wanted 100,000?" ”

Cao Heping hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Qin Wei said that he entered the palace yesterday to discuss this matter with His Majesty, and His Majesty first became angry and said that the Cao family was suspected of meddling in the government, and then after being persuaded, he reluctantly agreed to join the powerful. ”

This 'reluctantly' is really incisive.

Zhao Zhen is simply a lion who opened his mouth, and he reluctantly agreed, I'm afraid he has already been happy in his heart, right?

Cao Xi played with the jade pendant in his hand, and his face gradually turned cold and said, "Has the other person received the news?" ”

Cao Heping nodded and said: "As soon as Qin Wei left the palace, the news was released, and at this moment, the owners should have received the news, but there are very few who can afford the price." ”

Can it be no less? That's 100,000 yuan, not 10 pennies!

The magnates who can come up with this price in the Great Song Dynasty do not count more than ten on their fingers.

Cao Xi felt his heart beat violently, but he felt that it should be beating.

Although the Cao family has also saved a lot of money in the past few years, it will still hurt to take out 100,000 yuan at once, let alone him, even if it is the clan.

At this time, another little guy came to report.

"Lang Jun, someone from the Dingwang Mansion has come."

This name was like a bronze bell that woke Cao Yu up in an instant, his face changed a few times, and he hurriedly said, "Let him in." ”

If the magnates of the Great Song Dynasty are divided into grades, then the founding heroes of the Cao family are considered first-class magnates, and the next ones are those small magnates who were later knighted and crowned officials, and then there are those small landlords who were born in the families of the magnates, but have already produced five suits.

And the palace is the top!

A top magnate who is a lot higher than the Shangjun Palace, and a royal family close to the family!

After Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, he gave his uncles and uncles a big knighthood.

King Ding is the eighth son of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong - Zhao Yuanyan!

Known as the 'Eight Kings'.

This is the existence of the emperor who almost became the emperor back then, whether it is Zhao Heng of Zhenzong, or Liu E and Zhao Zhen now, they all respect and fear it.

What did he send people for?

Cao Xi thought of gambling...... Did he even be alarmed?

The people from Dingwangfu came, and politely saluted Cao Yu and smiled: "I have seen Cao Shangshu, the villain will inform you for my prince, if the Cao family wants to join the betting, Dingwangfu is willing to cooperate." ”

The so-called cooperation means that everyone pays the 100,000 yuan together, and then joins in the name of one family, but the profits are divided between the two.

This is a good thing for Cao Xi.

After all, the Cao family wants to come up with 100,000 yuan in a short period of time, which is indeed a bit overwhelming.

But he didn't dare to agree, not for anything else, just because Zhao Yuanyan's identity was too special.

Although he holds great power in the DPRK and China, and is the leader of the powerful people of the Zhao family, everyone in the world knows it...... If Liu E, mother and son want which person to die most at this moment.

On the opposite side, the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State are counted as one, and then there is Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Ding!

The eyeliner of the Imperial City Division in Bianliang City is everywhere, but these people are not to say that thirty percent of them are monitoring the Dingwangfu family.

Cooperating with such a person, Cao Xi is afraid that his life will be long.

But he didn't dare to provoke!

Cao Xi was in a dilemma now, he thought for a while and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the Cao family has never thought of joining the betting!" ”

Don't you want to play?

Although gambling is very tempting, the franchise fee is not cheap, and now there is a Zhao Yuanyan, Cao Xi feels that protecting himself at this moment is the most important thing.

The people who came seemed to have guessed that Cao Xi would say this.

He smiled faintly and said, "Cao Shangshu misunderstood, the Dingwang Mansion did not interfere in the gambling matter, but just to comply with His Majesty's wishes......"

Cao Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The man said: "Shangjun Wangfu has joined the Great Song Gaming, and the franchise fee is 50,000!" ”

"Isn't it a hundred thousand?"

Cao Yu subconsciously asked, and suddenly remembered the relationship between Qin Wei and Zhao Yunrang, or the close relationship between Zhao Yunrang and Zhao Zhen.

Open the back door?

Shameless! Everyone is a powerful person, why do you have 50,000 and I have 100,000!

Cao Xi was indignant in his heart, but there was no way, who made his family the county king's mansion?

At this moment, he understood the meaning of Dingwangfu - gregarious!

Dingwangfu is the first magnate of the clan, and nearly eighty percent of the magnates of the Great Song Dynasty are headed by Dingwangfu.

On the other hand, if the Dingwang Mansion does not participate in the joining, then it is likely to be estranged from other magnates.

We all join, if you don't join, do you think you can do it? Is this to draw a line with us and curry favor with Your Majesty?

After Cao Xi figured this, he hesitated a little, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" The Cao family and Dingwangfu each paid 50,000 yuan to join the Great Song Gaming, and the opening matters are all decided by Dingwangfu! ”

He is accurate in his positioning.

Since Zhao Yuanyan intervened, the Cao family can only play the role of a little brother, he doesn't have the strength to wrestle with Zhao Yuanyan, and he doesn't dare to break it!

The man smiled first, then shook his head and said: "Cao Shangshu misunderstood, what my prince means is that the 100,000 yuan is all from the Dingwang Mansion, and the Cao family is in charge of the gambling matters, and the dividends are shared equally between the two families every year." ”

Don't want to be in charge of the money?

Zhao Yuanyan has realized the true meaning of public welfare gambling, does he want to do charity?

Cao Xi was blinded by this series of operations.

The man didn't explain anything, but said that he would bring the money later, and then took his leave.

……

The money is up to 100,000, and you can pass through ghosts and gods!

The magnates are rich, but their money is not blown by the wind, and 100,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for anyone.

When many small magnates heard this number, their first reaction was to scold the street, and then they gathered a group of courtiers to prepare for the impeachment of the secretary of the bureau tomorrow.

But before they could prepare, two exciting news instantly made them obediently shut their mouths.

Dingwangfu teamed up with the Cao family to join the Great Song Dynasty, and even Shangjun Wangfu also joined, and the franchise fee was half cheaper!

Is this a blatant fake public benefit?

They wanted to impeach the Shangjun Mansion and ask the bureau to treat everyone equally, but looking at that bastard little grandfather, their thoughts were instantly shattered.

Zhao Yunrang may not dare to do anything to the courtiers, but he still has a hand on them to deal with this group of magnates.

If they really offend Zhao Yunrang, the Shangjun Wangfu has 10,000 ways to make them a dilemma of life and death.

Then this group of powerful people who have no money and do not have a high status are depressed......

They are indeed outnumbered, but now they are not facing courtiers and emperors, but two royal palaces that are both powerful and equally powerful.

What to do?

Seeing the fat fly away, they were unwilling, but they couldn't take out 100,000 yuan.

That's when they thought of emulating ...... Dingwangfu is so rich, but he chose to join forces with the Cao family, or let's make it together?

If you can't take out one, what about ten? What about twenty?

They felt that they saw hope again, and countless powerful people began to hold their own groups, a few or a dozen united, and everyone had the money to contribute and contribute.

At this moment they are extremely united.
