Chapter 218: Banquet

Shen Cheng's image is similar to what Wen Xian thought in her heart.

He was slightly blessed, with a beard and a slight smile in his eyes, but a little more profound.

At a glance, he looks like a rather dignified and somewhat kind middle-aged uncle.

If you don't know this image, you will feel that he is a good person at a glance.

But the distinction between good people and bad people is just your own subjective judgment.

For example, Wen Zhan fought everywhere, is this a good guy or a bad guy?

For Wen Xian, this is her own brother. No matter what he does, as long as he doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately, Wen Xian will support him.

Then again, even if Wen Zhan really killed innocents indiscriminately, could it be that Wen Xian would have to turn against Wen Zhan?

Of course it can't be, after all, Wen Zhan is extremely good to her.

But for the people killed by Wen Zhan, as well as the relatives of those people, Wen Zhan must be a bad person.

Therefore, whether Shen Cheng is a good person or a bad person, Wen Xian doesn't know at the moment, and she can't tell it.

She was thinking about it, and then she heard Shen Cheng say: "Zhu Gongzi, what do you think?" What do you think about the empress? ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he inadvertently swept over Wen Xian's face.

At this time, Wen Xian did not make any disguise, but showed her true face, and she didn't know if Shen Cheng denied it.

But Shen Cheng didn't say it, Zhu Qing just didn't know anything.

He raised his wine glass and saluted Shen Cheng: "Zhu thinks that whether it is a charcoal business, a refined salt business, or a seafood business, it is very profitable. If Lord Shen is willing, then the people of Guanping Mansion will have to enjoy happiness in the future. ”

"Not only that, but when these factories are opened, they can solve the livelihood of a large part of the people." Zhu Qing continued, "Starting from raw materials to the recruitment of long-term and short-term workers, their livelihood problems can be solved. ”

The livelihood problem is solved, the people live and work in peace and contentment, why worry about the future of Guanping Mansion.

As for the empress, he avoided talking about it for the time being, and had to throw out the introduction of cooperation first.

"Hehe" Shen Cheng drank all his glass of wine, raised his eyebrows and said, "If I wish Gongzi can do these businesses, Shen will fully support him." ”

Zhu Qing has been doing business in his Guanping Mansion for a long time, if he can do business here for a long time, and make the business bigger and stronger, then he will naturally not refuse.

After all, Zhu Qing's business is good, and the people here can also benefit.

That's one of the reasons why he came to this banquet.

Zhu Qing said with a smile: "Lord Shen can support it, and Zhu is grateful." It's just that I don't know if Lord Shen is interested in doing these businesses together. Of course, if you do business in partnership, the profits are also shared by everyone. ”

Just now, he just said that there were so many businesses he wanted to do, and asked Shen Chenggan if he was interested.

Since Shen Cheng was interested, he could continue the next moves.

Hearing Zhu Qing's words, the smile and nonchalance on Shen Cheng's face were slightly restrained, and he said with a serious expression: "What does Zhu Gongzi mean by this, let's listen to it in detail." ”

Zhu Qing does business, he just needs to watch silently and provide some help from time to time.

But if you want to pull him into the gang and share the money in a partnership, then he will be more interested.

After all, no one is going to have trouble with money, and no one doesn't want to make money. In these days, even if you have someone on hand, you have to have money.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to pay your wages and military expenses, and who will do the work for you.

You can't tell people some big truths while making people hungry and working.

Seeing Shen's true appearance, Zhu Qing also sat up straight and said seriously: "That's the case, Lord Shen."

The business was carried out by several parties, Lord Shen represented the government, I represented myself and the court, and on the other side, the new Empress. ”

Seeing that Shen Cheng was silent, Zhu Qing hurriedly continued to explain: "It's not a secret, these techniques and secret recipes are all provided by Her Majesty the Empress. Not only that, but Her Majesty the Empress also has a lot of good things in her hands. ”

It means that if you take refuge in Her Majesty the Empress, you will not only earn money, but also a steady stream of money.

Zhu Qing raised his eyes and looked at Shen Cheng, wanting to see how Shen Cheng reacted when he heard the empress. However, Shen Cheng's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Shen Cheng was neither surprised, nor frightened, nor angry.

I saw his eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at Wen Xian, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is Her Majesty the Empress in Zhu Gongzi's mouth, right?" ”

That's another reason why he's here today.

The empress, it's time to think about it.

Wen Xian was not annoyed when she saw through it, but calmly raised her glass, saluted Shen Cheng and said, "Lord Shen has good eyesight, I am indeed the new empress." ”

She drank all the wine in her cup in one gulp and continued: "Since the fall of the previous dynasty and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne, we have been driven out and exiled.

I thought that the new emperor could be a wise monarch and seek benefits for the people of the world. But unexpectedly, now the world has become more and more difficult, and the people are miserable. In general, it is not worth moving forward. ”

This is called no harm without contrast, no worst, only worse. She couldn't understand why she had to fight for power and profit if she couldn't manage a country well.

"Of course, it's not that the previous dynasty was so good." Wen Xian continued to explain, "Although the previous dynasty was not good, it was not divided after all, unlike now.

In this situation, Lord Shen must also be very clear that he must find a way to break the situation. Otherwise, if it continues like this, Guanping Mansion will not be able to keep it. ”

As for the 5,000 elite soldiers of Wuzhi outside Guanping Mansion, it must not be able to withstand the hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in turn.

If there are many people who set themselves up as kings, everyone will take turns to fight in wheels, and they will consume people to death.

In this case, if Shen Cheng wants to be alone and safe, it must be impossible. Unless, put an end to this civil strife in the Great Qin State.

In addition, the hatred of the Wu family, as a member of the Wu family, will definitely not sit idly by.

But a person's strength is limited after all, if Wu Zhi fights alone, he leads people to seek revenge alone. The final outcome is just a dead end.

Even if you are lucky enough to succeed in the end, it will be a big drain. Maybe, it will end up half-paralyzed.

Therefore, Wen Xian actually believes that Shen Cheng will make the best choice, that is, choose to cooperate with her. It's just that there is no basis for what she says, she has to convince Shen Cheng first.

Rather than talking about those imaginary ones, it is better to list specific advantages and let Shen Cheng see the situation clearly.

"Look at what the girl said, if I am in a safe corner, I will definitely be able to protect myself." Shen Cheng chuckled lightly, and said unclearly, "It's not like a girl, who dares to come to Guanping Mansion alone." ”

You know, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

At this time, the Wen War was still fighting everywhere in the north. If anything, you can't catch up.

And outside his Guanping Mansion, there are 5,000 ready-made elite soldiers, which can be on call.
