After returning to the study, Su Shi seemed to be a little tired, and he rubbed his cheeks vigorously to make himself refreshed.

When he sat back in his chair, he saw Zhou Jin and Qin Nan both looking at him worriedly, but Chen Xiaolan looked puzzled.

She couldn't figure out why Su Gongzi, who was still in good spirits just now, looked a little distressed in the blink of an eye.

Su Shi smiled at her and suddenly shouted, "Brother Zhang Ao." ”

Zhang Ao immediately replied outside the door: "Second son, what are your orders?" ”

Su Shi said softly to Chen Xiaolan: "You go and rest first." ”

Chen Xiaolan stood up and said softly, "Since Gongzi has no other instructions, I want to go back and prepare first." ”

Su Shi thought for a while and said, "It's okay." You go back and get ready, and I'll come back to you in two days. ”

After Chen Xiaolan said goodbye to them, he followed Zhang Ao out of the General's Mansion.

At this time, only Zhou Jin, Qin Nan and Su Shi were left in the study.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Zhou Jin finally broke the silence and said slowly: "Why did you let a foreigner participate in the plan?" ”

Su Shi said silently: "Because he has money." ”

"You trust him?"

Su Shi nodded: "He and Uncle Qin have been friends for many years, and he took out a million taels of silver with real money, I have no reason not to believe him." ”

Zhou Jin sighed: "But our plan cannot be wrong, and we must not let others know, are you not afraid of leaking it out if you tell it like this today?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "If I can't even believe you, it's better not to carry out this plan." And if I don't tell the plan and the inventory, how can Chang Muhua be willing to come up with a million? ”

At this time, Qin Nan suddenly shook his head lightly and looked at Su Shi suspiciously: "That's not right." ”

Su Shi said: "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Nan said quietly: "You said that the reason why Uncle Chang was involved was because he was rich. ”

Su Shi's eyes flickered, and he smiled reluctantly: "You should know that our plan requires a lot of principal, and the money we have in our hands now is simply a drop in the bucket." ”

Qin Nan looked at him quietly and said softly: "This is not a reason, because according to your plan, after the opening of the Qianqiu Quality Warehouse, you will not be short of money at all." ”

At this time, Zhou Jin also reacted, after the opening of the Qianqiu Quality Bank, the wealth gathered must have exceeded everyone's imagination, and at that time, one million taels was nothing to Su Shi.

And this plan was by no means something that Su Shi came up with on the spot, so Su Shi knew early on that money was not a problem at all.

Since this is the case, Su Shi's motive for letting Chang Muhua participate has to be doubted.

Su Shi stretched his waist and said lazily: "I naturally have my reasons." ”

"What reason?" Zhou Jin and Qin Nan asked in unison.

Su Shi said lightly: "The Buddha said, don't say it." ”

Seeing that Su Shi kept his mouth shut and made an unfathomable look, Zhou Jin and Qin Nan couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, but Su Shi didn't seem to have a trace of feeling at all, sitting on the chair calmly and drinking tea by himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Jin and Qin Nan had to sigh secretly. Su Shi was reluctant to say it, and they were helpless.

"Why did you choose these industries?" After being silent for a long time, Zhou Jin asked slowly.

Su Shi sighed: "You should be able to understand." Our current ability is limited, and it is impossible to attack all the industries under the names of the two princes at the same time, so we can only choose a few industries to attack first. In these industries, almost all of the important ministers of the imperial court participated, and there were more than 70 officials above the second grade. ”

"So you want to first separate the officials of the imperial court from the two imperial brothers?"

Su Shi said: "It is impossible to completely separate it, the reason why these officials stand by the side of the two princes is that in addition to interests, they also have power." The temptation from the dragon minister is still very great. ”

"So my plan is to crack down on a group, divide a group, and win over a group."

"What do you mean by that?"

"People who value profit more than weight are naturally the objects we are courting. Those who value power more than profit are naturally the targets of our crackdown. People who sway from side to side are naturally the objects of our differentiation. ”

"And after our side succeeds, Your Majesty should not sit in the palace, but should also take action."

"Father?"

Su Shi said lightly: "Yes, we make those officials unprofitable, and Your Majesty should also let those officials know who can give them power." Only a two-pronged approach can get these officials back on His Majesty's side. ”

At this time, Qin Nan's expression became a little hesitant, and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he was silent.

Zhou Jin saw that her expression was different, and hurriedly asked, "Does my sister have something to say?" ”

Qin Nan still didn't speak, just looked at Su Shi worriedly.

Su Chang sighed: "I know what you want to say, but at present, I can only take one step at a time, and I can do whatever I can." ”

Zhou Jin's face changed suddenly, because she had never heard Su Shi say such frustrating words.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Miss Qin Nan is worried that our plan is very likely to fail, and even if we defeat each other in business, it will not make much difference to the current situation."

Zhou Jin was shocked: "Why? ”

Su Shi sighed slightly and said, "Whether this plan can succeed or not mainly depends on Your Majesty. If Your Majesty remains in power for another five to ten years, there is a good chance that our plans will succeed. ”

Zhou Jin's face suddenly became even more ugly at this time, because she finally understood what Su Shi meant.

Because power is eternal, as long as there is power, benefits will roll in. So even if they defeated their opponents in business, how could the officials who were attached to the two imperial brothers give up as long as they saw that the prince they supported had the hope of ascending to the throne in a short period of time.

As long as the princes they support have to ascend to the throne, what they have lost can be recovered tenfold and hundredfold.

At that time, they can only be unlucky, and the most unlucky person must be Su Shi, no matter which imperial brother is on the throne, the first one to deal with must be Su Shi.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin was so anxious that he was even ready to stop the plan.

But at this time, Su Shi smiled, and his expression was very relaxed.

Zhou Jin said anxiously: "Can you still laugh at this time?" ”

Su Shi smiled and said: "Don't you think that I haven't thought about these consequences, since I dare to implement this plan, I naturally have a perfect solution, so you don't have to worry." ”

Although he said it easily, he obviously couldn't dispel Qin Nan's concerns, she pretended to be calm and asked, "Do you really have a perfect solution?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "Don't worry, I take my life very seriously, and I won't take the slightest risk." ”

Qin Nan looked at Su Shi slightly, and saw that Su Shi's expression was calm, as if he didn't want to say big things, so his heart settled down a little.

It's just that she thought about it, and she couldn't think of any way for Su Shi to get out of the way.
