"Tell them that none of us know how big our losses are now. If we are worried that the losses will be too great, we can negotiate and see if we can overcome the difficulties together by sharing the losses. If they are interested, they can come
A narration."
Zhao Xian came up with an idea.
When encountering such a disaster, loss is inevitable. The only difference is the amount of loss, which is a little different. However, just the difference in loss can cause people to turn against each other.
Not only the other families, but even Zhao Xian is worried that his family will suffer all losses while the other families will not suffer much losses. In this case, the Zhao family will decline from now on and will no longer be able to stand on an equal footing with the other families.
This is difficult for anyone to accept, and it is even more uncomfortable than death. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Several families have long been accustomed to living a life of superiority, and now they are suddenly about to be
Who can bear the dust being blown away?
Therefore, Zhao Xian came up with such a solution, which is not a solution. Regardless of the losses of each family this time, all the resources of each family will be pooled and then distributed equally to each family. In this way, everyone's
From the start, it becomes the same again. No one can say who has the advantage.
Of course, negotiations on specific matters will inevitably involve wrangling and making concessions. However, as long as we set a tone now while people are in panic, that will be good.
Soon, several people who could make the decision followed.
"We all agree with the elder's idea. At this moment, we should indeed tide over the difficulties together."
Zhao, Zhang, Chen, and Wen are the four largest families after Yashan.
At this moment, everyone gathered in front of Zhao Xian. Of course, Zhao Xian himself represented the Zhao family.
The several family heads are not stupid people. They know that at this time, they must not fall into endless wrangling. In addition, Zhao Xian’s proposal is indeed fair. Therefore, everyone has no objections and agrees.
.
Now that the matter of sharing losses has been agreed upon, the most urgent matter now is how to regain the land occupied by the natives.
Although their lives have been saved at the moment, the Zhuangzi where they are now settled is not even a small corner of peace compared to the entire island. Ninety-nine percent of the entire island is now occupied by natives.
"Since our ancestors are from the same hometown as Duke Xin, I wonder if we can ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help us regain our land?"
The lifeblood of everyone now depends on it. Frankly speaking, if the Ming Dynasty Navy had not arrived in time, everyone present would have been buried in the sea.
Moreover, if they wanted to drive away the natives and take back the land, they could only rely on the Ming Dynasty.
"Then let me lower my face and ask." This is the only way out, and Zhao Xian can only nod and agree. "However, you all should know that there is no such thing as free food and drink in this world. If you want to ask,
If the Ming Dynasty sends troops, I'm afraid there will be a price to pay."
The heads of several families looked at each other, clasped their fists towards Zhao Xian, and said, "Elders, please rest assured, we all understand."
It's good if you understand. If you understand, then this matter will be easier to handle.
Zhao Xian didn't waste any time and came to Han Du without stopping.
When he came to Han Du, he happened to see Han Du sitting on a chair, holding a treasure note in his hand and looking at it.
"Uncle, I'm really in a good mood." Zhao Xianqian smiled and praised. However, although he smiled brightly, his heart couldn't help but sink. Looking at Han Du's slow look, he didn't take the initiative to stand up for them at all.
signs.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao is here? Please take a seat." Han Du didn't even turn around, but just gestured towards Zhao Xian.
Not only did Zhao Xian not feel despised, but he felt like he was being treated with great respect. In terms of identity, Han Du was Jing Haibo of the Ming Dynasty, and he was just a commoner. Although he had high prestige in the local area, for Han Du
But it didn't work. And since the Ming Dynasty was able to drive the Meng Yuan back to the grassland in just fifteen years, it must have been a very powerful country.
He could not compare to Han Du Jing Hai Bo's status. In front of Han Du, it could be said that he had no merit except that he was older.
Han Du originally thought that this old man came to him to ask for a crime. After all, no matter how clean Jiang Ming was, the gold and silver were not in the secret room after all. If he encountered someone who was not smart, he might
They will come to make trouble for themselves.
Of course, Han Du never thought about returning the gold and silver. Not to mention that he took it without evidence, even if there was evidence to prove that he took it, Han Du would not return it.
You ate something from Uncle Ben’s mouth and you still want him to spit it out? Have you asked Uncle Ben about his hundreds of cannons?
Therefore, Han Du just looked at the treasure banknote in his hand intently without saying a word.
However, after Zhao Xian sat down and saw that Han Du had no further comments, he suddenly felt embarrassed. When he saw the treasure banknote in Han Du's hand, he was surprised and said, "What is this in my uncle's hand? Can it be given to ordinary people?"
Eye-opening?”
"Oh, of course." Han Du handed the treasure banknote to Zhao Xian casually, "This is a treasure banknote issued by the Ming Dynasty. A treasure banknote can be exchanged for a copper coin or one tael of silver."
Zhao Xian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "What treasure did you think it was? It turned out to be something similar to Jiaozi." But since Jing Haibo valued this treasure so much, Zhao Xian naturally wouldn't express his inner thoughts on his face.
It showed, and he even pretended to be solemn in accepting the treasure.
But as soon as Zhao Xian took the treasure note in his hand, he immediately felt something different. The first was the paper. Under the flashing lights, Zhao Xian couldn't see it clearly, but he could feel the difference in the paper through his hands.
What's remarkable about it is that the paper is light and thin, but tough. When you touch the edge of the banknote with your thumb, it feels like it's scratching your hand.
Due to the arrival of Zhao Xian and others, there was also paper on the big island, but he had never seen such good paper.
Seeing the shocked look on Zhao Xian's face, Han Du smiled inwardly and prepared to give him another shock. Then he pointed at the treasure and said, "Isn't Mr. Zhao grateful to the emperor?"
When Zhao Xian heard this, he suddenly looked solemn. He followed Han Du's example and bowed to the north with his hands raised. "The common people will naturally shed tears of gratitude to the emperor. If they can see the beauty of the sky, the common people will die without regrets."
Han Du didn't take Zhao Xian's words to heart. He knew that it was impossible to see the emperor now, but what good could he say to him?
However, Han Du suddenly thought of something and said: "If Mr. Zhao wants to see the emperor's holy face now, it is not impossible."
