Tan's family affairs were over, and the widow Qing took the initiative to invite: "How about Gongzi and Master Lin go to Ba's house with the old man to sit down?"

Hu Hai finally woke up from his daze and accepted the fact that the Ba family was an ally, after all, the Ba family took the initiative to destroy the Tan family, if the Ba family was not his ally, could they still go crazy collectively?

Facing the invitation of the widow Qing, Hu Hai glanced at Lin Ze, and when he nodded slightly, he responded: "Then go to Aunt Qing's place to sit down." ”

Lin Ze echoed with a smile: "Just take this opportunity to negotiate the next matter, so as not to be unclear and affect the relationship between the two families in the end." ”

Han Xin and Qianyuan were left behind by Lin Ze to clean up the scene, and those who should be pulled back were pulled back, but the widow Qing turned a blind eye to Lin Ze's behavior of swallowing the "spoils" alone, and returned to Ba's house with Hu Hai and Lin Ze.

After everyone was seated as the guest of honor, the widow looked at Hu Hai with a smile on her face and asked, "Is Childe surprised by this result?"

Who knew that Hu Hai sighed and said: "Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago, with Lin Ze's cunning nature, how could he not have thought of being embarrassed by the Shu family? ”

As he spoke, Hu Hai said excitedly: "But it must be cool to play others as fools, right?"

Lin Ze......

Widow ......

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Hu Hai was still unconscious, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you feel very happy?"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Lin Ze's face, and he coughed lightly and said, "Childe, let's talk about business first." ”

Hu Hai looked at Lin Ze with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter?"

Lin Ze had to remind: "After the three families were destroyed, the matter of the distribution of interests in Shudi. ”

Seeing that Hu Hai was still aware of it, Lin Ze said helplessly: "Forget it, let's do it." ”

It stands to reason that it would be better for Hu Hai to come forward for these things, after all, he is the sovereign, but Lin Ze really didn't dare to compliment him with this out-of-the-box temperament.

The widow Qing watched from the side, her face did not show the slightest abnormality, and she took the initiative to say to Lin Ze: "Young man, how do you think it should be divided?"

Lin Ze said undeniably: "The interests left by the three families are nothing more than a few pieces, minerals, fertile land, manors, shops, caravans and servants. ”

"Since the Ba family and our side are allies, we should divide them in half, how about our side take the fertile land, manors and shops in the city, and the Ba family takes minerals, caravans and servants?"

There are many mines in Shudi, but the most and most valuable ones are not gold mines and copper mines, but Dan sand mines.

Dan sand ore can be refined into a kind of treasure that can be used for alchemy and can assist in the cultivation of martial arts. Compared with gold and copper, dansha is more valuable.

Tan, Fan, Zheng three families, based in Shu, naturally controlled some Dan sand mines, this is actually the most valuable thing of the three, of course, most of the Dan sand mines are in the hands of the Ba family, which is also the fundamental reason for the wealth of the Ba family in Shu.

Lin Ze proposed this, for the Ba family, it is not only a few more Dansha minerals, but also means that the Ba family completely monopolizes the output of Dansha. Just by using this monopoly of dansha, the Ba family can have a lot of additional benefits.

Therefore, the widow Qing was very happy to respond: "Good." ”

Lin Ze replied with a smile: "It's good that the old lady is satisfied, and I will dare to mention some thoughts in the future, the Ba family is still an ally of the son, supporting the son to rule the Shu land, and the son will ensure that the interests of the Ba family in the Shu land will never be infringed upon by others." ”

The widow just smiled indifferently when she heard this: "For example?"

"For example, if the Ba family supports Gongzi as always, then only the Ba family will always have the right to harvest the Dan sand mines in Shudi, and except for Your Majesty, the Ba family can ignore the ideas of others, even if it is the grandmaster," Lin Ze said extremely domineeringly.

The widow laughed and said: "The young man is so angry, he is so bold at you, and the old man promises that as long as Gongzi Huhai is still in Shudi for a day, the Ba family will always be Gongzi Huhai's ally." ”

The smile on Lin Ze's face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly at the widow and said, "Then thank the old lady." ”

The matter has been negotiated, Lin Ze does not plan to stay longer, gets up and salutes the widow and says: "Recently, there has been a great change in Shudi, and the affairs of the Governor's Mansion are busy, so it is inconvenient to stay with the prince for a long time, so I will retire for the time being." ”

Then Lin Ze pulled Hu Hai away.

In the hall, Ba Qiang couldn't help but snort: "Mother, this guy named Lin Ze is still a good acquaintance, and he knows how to leave the most valuable minerals to us, otherwise we have to let him know that without the support of the Ba family this time, they may have to return to Chang'an soon." ”

The widow's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she scolded: "What do you know? ”

.

Seeing that her son was puzzled, the widow said with hatred: "What does he want minerals for? Does he have a miner? Does he have the technology to refine dansha? Does he have a gold owner who came to buy it? If he has nothing, what does he want minerals? It is better to ask for fertile land and the like, which is not only easy to take care of, but also easy to turn into food to enhance his own strength." ”

Only then did Ba Qiang realize that this was the case, and then he was unconvinced: "So what? Without the help of my Ba family, Hu Hai may not be able to gain a foothold." Why do you want to share half with them? ”

Before the widow Qing could answer, a clansman suddenly said at the door: "Old lady Qiqi and the head of the family, the person who arranged to deliver the letter to Chang'an yesterday has returned, saying that he was forced to come back, and he asked to see the two outside." ”

The widow Qing had no choice but to glare at Ba Qiang before she spoke: "Let him come in, the old man wants to hear what happened, and he dares to come back if the letter is not delivered, when the Ba family's family rules do not exist?"

Soon the messenger walked in and forcibly saluted the widow Qingheba: "Meet the old lady and the head of the house." ”

The widow said with a bad face: "Ah Zhe, didn't I tell you to send the letter to Chang'an, why did you come back?"

Ah Zhe, who delivered the letter, smiled bitterly and said: "Please also ask the old lady to forgive the sin, the little one with the letter, not long after leaving the city, was attacked, fainted on the spot, and when he woke up, he found that the letter was gone." There was an extra note beside him, which said that the letter had been sent to Chang'an by the old lady's ally, and the small one did not need to be sent. The note was written in a nonsense letter. ”

The widow Qing immediately thought that it was Hu Hai's hand, and if the Ba family fell to the side of the Shu family, this letter should be a twist and turn to impeach Hu Hai for releasing the warehouse privately, and then sighed: "It seems that Hu Hai has been prepared for a long time, and he really doesn't want to take any risks." ”

Then he glared at Ba Qiang viciously: "Look at people, look at you, how old you are, no teenager knows much." ”

Pak Qiang ...... Who am I messing with?

......

On the way back, Hu Hai looked at Lin Ze several times, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped, which made Lin Ze look funny, and took the initiative to say: "Gongzi is very puzzled? Why does the Ba family easily agree to the alliance? Why do we have to ally with the Ba family?"

Hu Hai nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, why?"

Lin Ze smiled and said: "It's very simple, why did the Ba family agree to the alliance, first, the other three have been secretly uniting and want to fight against the Ba family, the Ba family naturally wants to get rid of this scourge, as for those interests, for the Ba family, it is just icing on the cake." ”

"Second, Gongzi is the prince of the empire after all, why does the Ba family want to confront Gongzi? If he loses, he loses everything, the family is ruined, he wins, there is no benefit, and there is a big hidden danger.

"Why do we want to ally with the Ba family, this is simpler, first, the interests of Shudi, the family has too much, we must eradicate a part of the family in order to be profitable, and the strength of the Ba family is too strong, and the old lady has a good relationship with His Majesty, so it is naturally not a good object to eradicate. Therefore, we can only jointly eradicate the other three. ”

"Second, we need to develop our strength in Shudi, no matter what, we need a local snake to assist, and the Ba family is the best choice. So the two hit it off, and that's it. ”

Hu Hai rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "It turned out to be an embarrassment." ”

Lin Ze......
