Chapter 10: Is it me who is more important, or is it the Dakun country who is more important?
Chapter 10 Who is more important, me or Da Kun?
Xuancheng, Zhongfu.
The moment Zhong Shan opened the door, he frowned, because Zhong Shan heard a lot of noise outside the courtyard. Was it at the secret whistle outside the courtyard?
Why are there suddenly so many people?
Slowly, Zhong Shan walked to the small courtyard.
Open the courtyard door gently.
"Uncle, you are finally out of isolation." Yinglan's excited voice suddenly came from outside the hospital.
When he opened the door and saw Yinglan's pretty face, Zhongshan smiled slightly. At the same time, Zhongshan also saw the two people behind Yinglan.
Zhong Zheng, and Zhong Tian? When did Zhong Tian come back?
"Father" Zhong Tian and Zhong Zheng shouted at the same time. They looked a little anxious, but more excited.
Zhong Shan's initial doubts were instantly replaced by solemnity. It could be seen from everyone's expressions that something had happened, something serious.
"Let's go into Yilan Hall first." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes" everyone responded.
An hour later, in Yilan Hall.
Zhong Shan sat on the Taishi chair on the left side of the upper section, while Zhong Tian, Zhong Zheng and Yinglan sat on the lower section, looking at Zhong Shan together.
Zhong Shan closed his eyes and tapped the table beside him with his fingers. After listening to everyone's report just now, Zhong Shan sighed in his heart. All the adopted sons actually abandoned the house and left. They were timid and cowardly. Although most of them were accepted
Instigating, his heart was just weak for a while, and then he was taken advantage of by Zhong Jin. Maybe he regretted it outside the city at this moment, but so what if he regretted it, let's go, let's go. Those who abandon me will not stay the same as yesterday.
Now that we have stepped out of the Zhong Mansion, the relationship between father and son should be broken.
But in his heart, Zhong Shan was still slightly sad.
"Uncle, I ordered strict security around the city gate. After the traitors in the Zhong Mansion left that day, I was worried that if some people left, more people would become timid and flee, causing panic among the soldiers, so I did not allow anyone to leave the city.
Yinglan looked at Zhong Shan and said.
Gently opening his eyes and looking at Yinglan, Zhong Shan smiled slightly and said, "You did the right thing."
"However, the civil uprising in the city still started. Four days ago, the city gate was closed. Food from outside the city could not be brought in, and firewood could not be brought into the city. Food was insufficient, and people were resentful. Some instigators instigated the people to break out of the city, and some even
They instigated the invasion of Zhongfu, and mobs were everywhere. There are nearly a million people in Xuancheng, and eight thousand soldiers have to defend the city. It is impossible to maintain public order in the city." Yinglan shook her head and said.
"Aren't there no common people breaking in?" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"No, many big businessmen in the city spontaneously organized servants, dismantled furniture for firewood, distributed food, and appeased most of the people. However, they still brought many merchants to make noise outside the Zhong Mansion. As for these people, we
It's hard to start. After all, they didn't mess around and helped us appease the people. They were just making noise outside." Yinglan said with a frown.
"What are they clamoring for?" Zhong Shan looked at Yinglan and said.
"They want to see you." Yinglan said.
Zhong Tian and Zhong Zheng were sitting quietly at this moment, because in their opinion, it was enough for Zhong Shan to make the decision.
"Want to see me? Then meet me. Let's go, Yinglan, lead the way." Zhong Shan said solemnly and stood up.
"Yeah" Yinglan nodded.
Then, a group of four people walked towards the outside of Zhong Mansion.
When I walked to the door, sure enough, there were nearly a thousand people surrounding the door of Zhong Mansion, led by a large group of big businessmen in bright clothes.
"Mr. Zhong is coming out. That's Mr. Zhong." I don't know who it was, but the first person shouted.
Zhong Shan may not show up very often, but after all, he has shown up before, and if he shows up, people will know him.
Sure enough, everyone who had been extremely noisy just now stopped talking and stared at Zhong Shan who had become extremely young.
Zhong Shan is still Zhong Shan, but he is much younger. He looks like a man in his thirties, a man in his prime. An innate master. This idea pops up in almost everyone's mind. Can innate, innate people really rejuvenate their youth?
An old man at the head recognized Zhong Shan at a glance, because he had seen Zhong Shan when he was young. Although it had been decades, Zhong Shan could bring out a strong shock no matter what form he took.
Effect.
"The eight masters, you haven't seen me for many years, don't you recognize me?" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Grandpa, is that Mr. Zhong?" a young man behind the old man suddenly said.
"Shut up." The old man immediately shouted angrily at the young man. His eyes widened. The frightened young man quickly shut up. He is the most favored young master in the family and his grandpa's favorite grandson. The look on his face is still the first.
Saw it once.
"I've met Mr. Zhong." The eight old men led by him said respectfully.
"I've met Mr. Zhong." Other first-class merchants immediately said respectfully.
Zhong Tian, Zhong Zheng and Yinglan followed Zhong Shan and slowly walked with Zhong Shan to the center of the square in front of the door.
Zhong Shan looked at the crowd, clasped his fists at them and said, "Thank you very much for what you have done these days. Xuancheng is short of food and firewood, and I, the Zhong Mansion, are to blame. I will send people enough food soon."
There is enough firewood. If there is any loss these days, my Zhongfu will make up for it."
"Mr. Zhong, you're welcome." The eight old men said respectfully. As for the others, no one interrupted.
Looking at the crowd, Zhong Shan smiled slightly and said, "However, since you are willing to share hardships with Xuancheng, why are you surrounding my Zhong Mansion?"
At this time, one of the old men said: "There were rumors that Mr. Zhong was seriously ill, so we just came to take a look."
"Yes, we just came to see Mr. Zhong." Another old man also said.
Zhong Shan smiled slightly, but did not expose it. Instead, he nodded and said directly: "Eight hundred thousand troops came to the city, and Emperor Su Zhengde led the army to march in person. Merchants pursue profits and wait for price. I and you are all merchants, so naturally we understand
However, now, you can take a look at the price, which one is more important to me or Da Kun?"
Is it me who is more important, or Dakun Guo?
Zhong Shan's words are unprecedented. In this prosperous period, which businessman dares to put himself and a country on the same scale?
It is not uncommon in history for a businessman to be as wealthy as his country, but who dares to make such big claims? And this is despite the fact that he seems to be at an extreme disadvantage.
Zhong Shan's words shocked everyone's hearts.
How much courage does it take to say such a thing? From now on, the image of Zhong Shan will surely be deeply rooted in everyone's hearts again.
Is it me who is more important, or Dakun Guo?
Zhong Shan is still forcing everyone to express their stance!
The scene became quiet, no one dared to speak, all the businessmen were chasing profits, but who dared to say such treasonous words?
Everyone looked at the eight old men at the front.
The eight old men looked at Zhongshan and took a deep breath. Although they had experienced countless strong winds and waves, facing the huge waves of Zhongshan, everything they had faced in the past would turn into small ripples in the lake.
Zhong Shan waited patiently. Finally, after ten breaths, an old man spoke first.
"Mr. Zhong, I respect you as a human being. I dare not say which is more important. However, I can assure you that as long as Xuancheng is not destroyed for a day, our firm will fully support you, Mr. Zhong. I swear, God will bear witness.
"The old man was the first to say.
"We will support Mr. Zhong." Several other old men said immediately.
"We support Mr. Zhong." Other merchants also said.
Yinglan stood behind Zhong Shan and watched. She was filled with excitement when she saw Zhong Shan intimidating many businessmen with her own body. Zhong Shan used his strong attitude to say, "Who is more important, me or Da Kun?"
At this time, Yinglan showed even more admiration. When all the businessmen expressed their support for Zhong Shan, Yinglan's admiration could not be greater, because what happened today will definitely add a lot to the history of the future.
.
There is no oppression by force, there is not the slightest motivation for profit, and there is not much friendship or affection. It is just credibility. The credibility of Zhong Shan, this two-word credibility, has won the support of everyone. It is incredible.
Zhong Tian and Zhong Zheng also showed excited expressions.
"Okay, if that's the case, then please go back to your respective mansions first to appease your servants and prevent civil unrest." Zhong Shan said.
"Mr. Zhong, farewell."
"Mr. Zhong, take your leave."
…
Everyone said one after another. Then, there were more than a thousand people just now, and now, in the blink of an eye, the leaders of the merchants took the people away quickly.
Zhong Shan and the three of them kept watching the merchants go away.
"Butler." Zhong Shan looked into the distance and called behind him.
"Yes, sir." One of the stewards immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Open the underground mechanism of Cuiyinyuan, send me a train from Qingcheng, and transport all the emergency supplies. Distribute them to the people of Xuancheng. At the same time, someone will count the losses of the people of Xuancheng and make up for it later." Zhong Shan ordered.
"Yes" the butler responded immediately.
As for Zhong Tian, Zhong Zheng and Yinglan, they had been asking the housekeeper for a long time before, but they didn't ask about Zhong Shan's secret measure. Now when Zhong Shan gave the order, the housekeeper obeyed the order. Obviously, the housekeeper kept it secret from everyone, but Yinglan and others did not.
No blame at all.
"Uncle, you said before that there are profiteers and righteous merchants among businessmen. Which kind of businessmen are they? But because of my uncle's words, they risked rebelling against the entire Kun Kingdom. Your reputation is too powerful, uncle.
Stronger." Yinglan finally couldn't help but said excitedly.
Looking at Yinglan's excited little face, Zhong Shan smiled slightly and said, "Reputation energy? If it was just a matter of credibility, they would have taken their servants and left the city long ago."
"Huh?" Yinglan paused.
"Remember, profit-seeking is the nature of businessmen, and there are only a very small number of righteous businessmen. This time all the businessmen are willing to take risks for me. It is not just a matter of credibility, but the most important thing is profit. Everyone in the world is here for profit.
, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The business community of Dakun Country respects me, and most of their properties have my shares. Once I die, these properties will definitely be nationalized, and then they will suffer heavy losses.
Compared with what they have now, the losses in the future will make them psychologically worse than death. In their hearts, I am not only a synonym for interests, but also a mystery. They believe in my power, so they are willing to give me a try.
." Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Is this the bundling of interests?" Yinglan immediately remembered a saying she heard from Zhong Shan when she was a child.
