Chapter 140: The Long-term Perspective of People
Zhao Gao only stayed in the courtyard for half an hour before leaving, and when he left, Qin Wei only handed him 10,000 taels of silver and ten dead soldiers cultivated by Shiluan.
How Zhao Gao will establish the net next, that is his business, Qin Wei only needs to wait.
After sending Zhao Gao away, Qin Wei arranged for someone to help Li Shizhen collect books on alchemy and spiritual elixir, and at the same time vacated two side rooms in the courtyard as a place for Li Shizhen to refine medicine.
However, Li Shizhen actually wanted to open a medical center in Shuzhou City, Qin Wei naturally had no reason not to be, so he asked Xiao Shunzi to arrange a shop for him.
As for Shen Wansan, Qin Wei asked him to go to Li Ru.
At present, he does not have many industries, and the only weapon industry is still in its infancy, and it just so happens that Shen Wansan is here, so he will be in charge of this matter for the time being, so as to share some pressure for Li Ru.
The next morning.
Qi Chao came to Shuzhou City, he first handed a greeting post to Qin Wei, and then pulled two carts of gifts to the courtyard where Qin Wei lived.
Under the leadership of Xiao Shunzi, he came to the main hall of the courtyard and met Qin Wei.
When he first saw Qin Wei, his first impression was that he was young.
Now Qin Wei is only seventeen years old, his face is white and delicate, and the beard on his chin is still fluffy, thin and soft.
"Servants Qi pay homage to His Highness!"
Qi Chao bowed and bowed.
Qin Wei looked at him and couldn't help but be surprised by his appearance and temperament.
"Father-in-law Qi, please take a seat!"
Qi Chao sat respectfully on the chair next to him, he looked like he was bowing his head and frowning, as if he was really a humble slave.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wei casually picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Father-in-law Qi is here, why is it here?"
Although the Qi Dynasty came to Shuzhou City as he wished, Qin Wei was still unclear about the thoughts and purposes of the Qi Dynasty.
He could force Qi Dynasty to come to Shuzhou City, but he couldn't force Qi Dynasty to submit.
"His Royal Highness has worked hard to quell the chaos in Shuzhou, and the minions are incompetent, so they can't share the worries for His Highness, but the minions still have a little money, and I think His Highness should need it, so I sent it!"
As he spoke, Qi Chao handed the gift list to Xiao Shunzi next to him, and Xiao Shunzi handed it to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei glanced at it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Good guys, this shot is really generous.
Qi Chao came with two carriages, Qin Wei thought that there were not many things, but he never expected that there were many things hidden in these two carriages.
First of all, silver, two carriages naturally can't hold too much silver, but they can hold silver tickets!
There are also various elixirs, rare gems, and even two magic weapons.
Tsk, he is worthy of being the richest man in Shuzhou, this gift is really big enough.
It's a pity that Qin Wei doesn't want these things.
He may lack money, but he lacks a way to make money.
"These elixirs and magic weapons, this king has accepted them, but forget about these silver!"
Qin Wei put the gift list on the table and said lightly.
When Qi Chao heard this, not only did he not have any sense of ease, but his heart trembled and he became a little worried.
"What does Your Highness need, you can say bluntly, the minions will definitely go all out." Qi Chaodao.
Qin Wei looked at him with a smile, "Really? ”
"Slaves don't dare to deceive Your Highness!" Qi Chaodao.
Today, the Qi Dynasty is ready to be slaughtered, even if Qin Wei asks for three or five million taels of silver, he will take it out if he grits his teeth.
And what he asked for was to let Qin Wei stop worrying about him.
It wasn't hard enough, but he had to.
Breaking the bank is the easiest and easiest thing for him.
Qin Wei put down the tea, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "This king needs a talent like Gonggong Qi by his side." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Chao's whole person froze.
He looked at Qin Wei blankly, his eyes were full of incredible colors, as if what Qin Wei said was a big nonsense.
"Your Highness, don't be joking? Slaves are Your Majesty's minions! ”
He said in a deep voice.
"Really? If Grandpa Huang knew that you had created such a family business in Shuzhou, I don't know what he would think? Qin Wei said with a smile.
"If Your Majesty wants, the slave is willing to give all the family wealth." Qi Chao's face no longer had the respect it had before, and it became extremely cold.
What are you kidding, if you ask for money, I can grit my teeth and give more.
But you actually want me as a person, but the slave is His Majesty's person!
Qin Wei leaned back in his chair, "Maybe Grandpa Huang will kill you!" ”
Qi Chao's face changed slightly, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.
As a eunuch, his life and death are just a sentence from Emperor Li, even if he has thousands of family fortunes, he is still just a minion.
His life is not his own, let alone these riches?
As for whether Emperor Lihuang would kill him, he didn't dare to bet.
Gambling with your own life?
Unless he's crazy.
"What does Your Highness really want?" He spoke slowly.
Qin Wei smiled and drank tea calmly.
"Now the treasury of the Shuzhou Buzheng Division and the Dusi Yamen can starve to death, Gonggong Qi, what do you say this king wants?"
"If it's just money, the slave can take out five million taels of silver." Qi Chaodao.
Qin Wei shook his head and said, "You still don't understand, what this king wants is not just silver, but also the property in your hands. ”
"You, including everything you have, this king wants!"
"Your Highness is not too domineering!" Qi Chao's face was cold, obviously he had reached the point where he couldn't bear it anymore.
Qin Wei said: "You don't have to count on Grandpa Luo, he is this age, it's better not to mix indiscriminately, otherwise it will not be good if you accidentally die!" ”
"As for the others, well, they are all in Kyoto, and far water can't quench their thirst."
"Unless you can make the imperial grandfather speak, your inheritance will be decided by the king!"
"Either you die, and this king only gets money, or you don't die, and this king gets both people and money."
Coercion and inducement.
Now Qin Wei is coercing the Qi Dynasty, just to let the Qi Dynasty understand that Shuzhou is in charge of him, and what he wants, the Qi Dynasty can't help but give it.
As for the temptation, well, this is not needed, because the Qi Dynasty is richer than him, the county king, and other Qin Wei can't give it to him.
So Qin Wei could only force him to the death, forcing him to give in.
And will the Qi Dynasty rather die than give in?
Qi Chao was extremely angry in his heart, and he had already begun to scold his mother in his heart.
Straight sissy thief!
Despicable boy, so greedy!
But in addition to his anger, he felt very powerless.
This is what he is most afraid of Qin Wei.
Something like this that takes away people's property, even if ordinary people do it, they will cover it up for a few points, at least they won't say it to their faces.
But Qin Wei not only said it to his face, but also threatened people so badly, it was just too bad for his wife!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He had already made a decision in this breath.
"If Your Highness wants it, the slave naturally can't refuse, the property of Long'an Mansion, the slave is willing to give it to His Highness with both hands, but after all, the slave is the eunuch of Long'an Mansion, please forgive Your Highness, the slave can't serve His Highness!"
He is ready to survive short-tailed, and he can make more money when he has no money, and with his ability and identity, even if he loses all his inheritance, he can still enjoy wealth and glory.
Qin Wei stared at him, playing with the white jade tea bowl in his hand.
He had to admire Qi Chao's decisiveness and shrewdness, and he actually made such a major decision in such a short period of time.
When faced with such a choice, I am afraid that ordinary people will hesitate, and even be carried away by anger and unwillingness.
But not only did Qi Chao not, but chose to survive with a short tail.
"Gonggong Qi, you probably didn't understand what this king meant." Qin Wei said slowly.
"Your Highness, the minions have made the greatest concessions." Qi Chao glared at him angrily.
Qin Wei didn't speak, he glanced at Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi immediately understood, walked to the door of the main hall and summoned the Fire Cloud Evil God in.
"Meet Your Highness!" The Fire Cloud Evil God first arched his hand at Qin Wei, and then showed a somewhat strange smile towards Qi Chao.
Qin Wei said with a smile: "From now on, you will follow Father-in-law Qi every step of the way, if he dares to do anything wrong, you can directly cut him off." ”
"Whoa!"
The Fire Cloud Evil God grinned.
Staring, it's easy.
In Xinning Mansion before, he had stared at Liu Qing, and now he has changed to Qi Dynasty.
Although this task is a bit boring, it is easier than that, and he still likes it.
When Qi Chao heard this, his face instantly turned extremely dark.
Threats, blatant naked threats!
"Huoyun Evil God, no one is invincible under the congenital, this king heard that there are many nine-rank martial artists under your command, you can try to see if you can kill him, if you can, then this king will give you a chance to live." Qin Wei said with a smile.
With a delicate face and gentle words, if you ignore the content of the words, maybe Qi Chao will think that he is a harmless young man.
However, Qi Chao felt that Qin Wei was extremely evil at this time, not only evil, but also very cruel.
"Stay in Shuzhou City for two days, and this king will arrange for someone to go to Long'an Mansion to receive your property!" Qin Wei took the tea and sipped it gently.
"Father-in-law Qi, please!"
Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward to see off the guests.
Qi Chao stared at Qin Wei, and then his eyes closed slightly, and then he turned around and walked towards the door.
He knew very well that it was useless to say anything now, Qin Wei had blocked all his roads, leaving him only one way.
He has lost all options.
Maybe he should regret it, regret that he shouldn't have come.
It's a pity that he knows that regret is useless.
"People want to look at the long-term, and if you look at the long-term, you will find that the immediate interests are really nothing."
Qin Wei's words sounded again, and they reached Qi Chao's ears leisurely.
Qi Chao, who had just stepped out of the door of the main hall, was stunned, and a contemplative look flashed in his eyes.
Then he couldn't help but tremble!
He thought of something.
He looked back at Qin Wei in disbelief.
In the main hall, Qin Wei sat on the main seat, tasting the tea slowly, and his calm and complacent appearance made him feel extremely shocked.
But then his expression turned bitter again.
There are some things that you really can't hide if you want to, and you can't escape if you want to.
