Chapter 95: Zuoqiu admits his mistake! Shouzhe wins a great victory
…
"What!?" Zuoqiu Guanyu's face turned red as if he had been slapped hard, and anger rose up, "Wang Shouzhe! You, you, you,
How dare you speak to me like this?"
"Haha~" Wang Shouzhe took a sip of tea and said slowly, "But Guanyu family master, you have the courage to talk to me like this in the first place. I really don't know where you got the courage to show off in front of me?"
"As long as I insist on refusing to negotiate, how many years can your Zuoqiu family survive with your family's wealth? The family is big and powerful, and it is certainly powerful, but can you support the annual expenses? Maybe it can reduce the alternation between heaven and man,
The alternating number of Zi Mansion can also make the people of the clan save money and spend more money, which can also last for a few more years."
"It's a pity that no matter how much you save, you can't change the fate of decline from now on."
Every word Wang Shouzhe said was like sharp arrows, piercing Zuoqiu Guanyu's heart one after another.
"You Wang family, aren't you afraid that our Zuoqiu family will fall out?" Zuoqiu Guanyu's momentum rose, with murderous intent in his eyes, "With the strength of my Zuoqiu family, it will be easy to destroy your Wang family."
"Haha~" Wang Shouzhe sneered, looked at Taishi Ankang and said, "Master County Sheriff, when did our law of Daqian become such that high-class families can kill low-class families at will?"
Taishi Ankang's face suddenly became serious, and he warned Zuoqiu Guanyu: "You Zuoqiu family, do you think our Longzuo County Sheriff's Mansion does not exist? What's more, since you have investigated the Wang family, you should naturally know about Miss Li Yao.
As the name suggests, she is the beloved disciple of Master Tianhe, and she is a majestic and proud person."
The great genius, just with his name, can actually make many monks in the Purple Mansion Realm fear him. Not to mention, the other party also has a master who is the dean of the Divine Power Realm.
Even if you Zuoqiu wants to use your power to bully others, you should consider Miss Li Yao, right? More than a hundred years later, she will be Master Zifu, and hundreds of years later, she will be Master Shen Tong.
"Besides, the Wang family is not a rootless person." Taishi Ankang said, "Many of his family members are worshiped by masters in the Purple Mansion Realm, and their main lineage is also the majestic Wang family!"
A family that can be named Da Qian must be at least a third-rank family, or have been a third-rank family.
For example, even though the Zuoqiu family in Qing'an is ranked fourth grade and almost dominates the Qing'an County, it can only be called Qing'an. If you rush to use the word Daqian directly, you will definitely be ridiculed.
.
Just like the Wang family is named Changning, but they cannot be named Longzuo at will. The Wang family of Longzuo was once a fifth-rank family. Although it has declined now, it can still bear the name Longzuo.
When the Wang family of Daqian was mentioned, Zuoqiu Guanyu's face became even more ugly. Although intelligence showed that the current Wang family of Changning had no contact with the main line of Daqian, but if the matter really got serious, someone would be there to protect them.
Great relationship.
For example, if Wang Liyao goes to work for the Wang family, she will definitely be entertained because of her pride.
It was precisely these scruples that made Zuoqiu somewhat constrained...
At this moment.
Wu Dinghai, the governor of Qing'an County who had not spoken before, smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, speaking of everyone, we are all young and energetic, and some disputes of words are inevitable. Head of the Guanyu family, it is you who has the left when it comes to this matter.
If the Qiu family wants to negotiate, don't show off the pedigree of a fourth-grade family. Make concessions where necessary, and don't act out of anger."
"Your Majesty, the Sheriff is right." Zuoqiu Guanyu cupped his hands and thanked him, and then put on an elegant and graceful posture, "Master Shouzhe, Guanyu Menglang just now. Well, after all, it's me, Zuoqiu, who is responsible for this matter.
The business war started first. I, Zuoqiu, will make a statement first. From now on, the price of the flying chariot market will be decided by Shouda Trading Company. In business, everyone has to make money together, so why should we give others an advantage for nothing? "
His previous use of power to suppress others was actually a strategy. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could really suppress the Wang family? Even if he couldn't suppress him, he would still have a piece of meat. No, once he saw the Wang family's toughness, Zuoqiu Guanyu immediately changed his mind.
strategy.
"Good idea." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Then our Shouda Trading Company will also intervene in the flying chariot market in Qing'an County and discuss the price. As for the grain business, we can also do it together. You can go to our Long
If you sell it left, we can also sell it to you, Qing'an, at will."
"Since the head of the Guanyu family is so generous, he gave the pricing power of the flying chariot market to Shouda Trading Company. Naturally, I, Wang Shouzhe, am not a stingy person." Wang Shouzhe said with the same heroic look, "The price of grain seeds is determined by your Zuoqiu family.
Come and make a decision, I, Wang, will never sell it for a dime more."
Zuoqiu Guanyu's expression froze, and in his mind ten thousand grass and mud horses were running past.
If our Zuoqiu family's grain seeds could compete with your Wang family's grain seeds at the same price, would I have come all the way to be insulted by you?
"Master Shouzhe is joking." Zuoqiu Guanyu forced a smile.
"You were the first to joke." Wang Shouzhe said with a playful half-smile.
"What does the master of the Shouzhe family mean?" Zuoqiu Guanyu suddenly felt that Wang Shouzhe was really not easy to mess with, so he simply asked, "Will this solve the underlying case?"
"Of course there is a solution." Wang Shouzhe was too lazy to go around in circles with him, "First, the flying chariot business of your Qingfeng Trading Company will be completely dissolved, and our Shouda Trading Company will fully take over the flying chariot, business and debts."
The corner of Zuoqiu Guanyu's mouth twitched, do you want to be so awesome? And with such excessive conditions, he is still only the first...
"Second, open the flying chariot market in Qing'an County to our Shouda Trading Company." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "By completing these two conditions first, you can express your sincerity and you can discuss it with me, Mr. Wang.
It’s a matter of grain.”
These two ferocious conditions are actually just preconditions?
Even the county governor Wu Dinghai's face turned ugly: "Master Shouzhe, is your appetite too big? Is it too ugly to eat? You have to keep a thin line when doing things, don't go too far."
As soon as this statement came out.
When Wang Shouzhe couldn't speak, the county governor Ankang burst into laughter: "Wu Dinghai, Wu Dinghai, why do your words sound so familiar to me? A year ago, when I went to Qing'an County to discuss with you in person, I also said the same thing
Is this what I’m talking to you about?”
"Wu Dinghai, how did you answer me at that time? Taishi, Taishi, that was a serious business competition, and it was a good thing to benefit the people. They also said that I just eat carrots and don't worry about it."
"Our Shouzhe family's grain seeds are sold at low prices to all the big and small families in Qing'an County. Isn't it a good thing to benefit the country and the people?"
Wu Dinghai's face was in burning pain. He had insulted Taishi Ankang back then, and he was now paying him back twice as much. And he couldn't imitate him and leave, otherwise, sooner or later, the Zuoqiu family would be finished. Before they were finished, they might do something.
Do something crazy.
Then his days as Wu Dinghai would be over.
If there was such a big mistake, given His Majesty's increasingly sensitive personality, he would probably be sent to battlefields outside the country to be used as cannon fodder.
"Tai Shi County Sheriff." Wu Dinghai could not escape from this matter, so he could only hold his head and said with a smile, "This matter is indeed my fault. I apologize to you."
"Cool!"
Taishi Ankang felt as if he had eaten ice cubes on a hot day, feeling refreshed from beginning to end. Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Shouzhe with more joy and respect.
The Changning Wang family will prosper greatly in the hands of this son.
"Although these two conditions sound a bit harsh." Wu Dinghai said with a smile, "However, after all, it was Zuoqiu who listened to the villain's slander and took the initiative to cause a dispute. If there is a reasonable reason for the matter of grain and seed production,
We in Qing'an may not be able to agree to the arrangement."
"County Governor! These conditions..." Zuoqiu Guanyu said anxiously.
"Master Guanyu," Wu Dinghai yelled with a stick, "Why don't you understand what happened now? You Zuoqiu family are already fighting for each other, so how can you have the qualifications to negotiate? The top priority is to have a good discussion.
"Fan, how to solve the problem of grain disputes is the foundation of your Zuoqiu clan's existence."
Zuoqiu Guanyu's face turned red and white as if struck by lightning. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. In fact, he didn't know it in his heart... It was just that the name of the fourth-grade family was too loud, and he was used to being aloof.
They are the only ones who control the fate of others.
For a moment, I couldn't completely accept that my lifeline was in the hands of a mere seventh-grade family.
After a long while, he regained some composure from his dejection: "Master Shouzhe, our Zuoqiu clan can agree to those two conditions. However, we, the Zuoqiu clan, can't agree to the several types of grains you sell in Qing'an County."
I am willing to spend a lot of money to buy the cultivation rights. At a fixed price, five million dry gold will buy the cultivation and sales rights of five grain varieties in Qing'an County."
"Otherwise, we, the Zuoqiu clan, would rather die than die. We will leave it to God to decide how things will turn out."
When he said the last sentence, Zuoqiu Guanyu's courage also rose. A fourth-grade family is a fourth-grade family after all, and they still have dignity and pride.
Wang Shouzhe also saw that spending money to buy the right to cultivate and sell grain seeds in Qing'an County was the final bottom line for the Zuoqiu family.
Otherwise, if the Wang family simply withdraws from the market in Qing'an County, let alone whether the Qing'an aristocratic families who have tasted the benefits will do so, maybe one day when the Wang family becomes stronger, they may come back with a counterattack.
However, obtaining the right to cultivate and sell is the bottom line, but the price is not the bottom line. Wang Shouzhe has already made estimates about this, and has also investigated Zuoqiu's financial resources.
"We, the Wang family, can sell the cultivation and sales rights in Qing'an County to you, the Zuoqiu family." Wang Shouzhe drank tea, and without waiting for Zuoqiu Guanyu to look happy, he said, "First pay a one-time payment of 50 million to monopolize the Qing'an County. fee, followed by an annual license fee of two million dry gold."
Speaking of which, Mr. Zuoqiu doesn't want to die, so does Mr. Wang just want to?
Today, the Wang family is in the process of rapid development and has a bright future. Wang Shouzhe is unwilling to confront any Zifu family unless necessary.
The left and right are just paying some obsolete grains. Not only can they get a large amount of funds to solve the current shortage of dry gold of the Wang family, but they can also solve the crisis of Shouda Trading Company and repel the Zuoqiu family. Why not do it? Woolen cloth?
As long as the Wang family is given time and space to develop, one or two hundred years later, the Wang family may not be afraid of confronting the Zuoqiu family head-on.
What's more, the Wang family is short of money now, so short of money.
Big geniuses, geniuses, little geniuses, family members old and young, consume huge amounts every year. Otherwise, why would Wang Shouzhe have just finished developing Xin'an Town outside the territory and then set his sights on "Qingluo Guard"?
Qingluowei, which is planned to be developed in the future, will be a gold-devouring beast with "hard-to-fill desires".
Wang Shouzhe's offer immediately frightened Zuoqiu Guanyu. He roared angrily: "Master Shouzhe, even if you blackmail, you have to have some bottom line. Do you think our Zuoqiu family is a pig? Ten million, ten million can't be too much." One more, one more dime, our Zuoqiu family..."
Later.
For the benefit of their respective families, the two heads of the family began to haggle over the price like street vendors at the market.
This process lasted for half a month.
Finally, after Zuoqiu Guanyu turned over the table several times and left, he discussed it with the family ancestor.
The two sides finally agreed on the terms of the peace negotiation.
In addition to the Zuoqiu family's complete withdrawal from the flying chariot market and the unconditional opening of the flying chariot market in Anqing County, the Zuoqiu family paid 20 million dry gold in cash and 10% of the total selling price of grain seeds as royalties.
This contract lasts for one hundred years.
Wang's grain seeds are not allowed to appear in Qing'an County during the contract period.
So far.
The huge turmoil caused by the Zuoqiu family disappeared here, and it can be said that "everyone is happy".
…
Some time passed.
Qing'an County, the main residence of the Zuoqiu family, Qingyaju.
After seeing off Zuoqiu Guanyu, Xiaoyue returned to Qingzhuyuan, her eyebrows frowning unconsciously.
Although Zuoqiu Guanyu just said it euphemistically, the meaning is quite clear: this time the Zuoqiu family has suffered too much loss. The Zuoqiu family will not participate in the subsequent plans against the Qian family and the Wang family. Please ask Mr. Ce to hire someone else. As for the Zuoqiu will find a way to repay the favor he received by renting the chariot.
Zuoqiu Guanyu had already said this, so Xiaoyue naturally had no choice but to send him away after being polite.
To be honest, even she never expected that things would develop to this point.
The struggle between aristocratic families has been based on financial resources and strength since ancient times.
A fourth-grade family with a history of two thousand years has countless strong people in the family. Whether it is financial resources or strength, it is many times the Qian family of Longzuo and Wang family of Changning combined. According to common sense, it is impossible to fail.
In this situation, the Longzuo Qian family and the Changning Wang family were able to make a comeback. This can almost be called a "miracle", and it is the kind of representative deeds that can be written into the "Longzuo County Chronicles".
Even if Qian and Wang made some tricks during this process and were prepared in advance, the result can still be described as "unbelievable".
Moreover, according to the news sent back from Luo Yuqing's [Breaking Dawn], the person who took the leading position in the confrontation with the Zuoqiu family and the Cao family this time was actually not the Qian family of Longzuo as they had initially speculated, but the Qian family of Longzuo.
He is the Wang family of Changning.
To be more precise, it was Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family in Changning.
From the beginning to the end, the Qian family of Longzuo was executing Wang Shouzhe's plan, as if he was very sure that he could win back a victory for the Qian family.
Inadvertently, Xiaoyue recalled Luo Yuqing's evaluation of Wang Shouzhe, saying that he was "a man of great talent, good at making decisions, cautious and thoughtful."
At that time, she thought the evaluation was a little too high.
Now it seems that this evaluation still underestimated him. Perhaps, we should add another sentence "cannot be judged by common sense" in this evaluation.
For people like Wang Shouzhe, if they are friends, it is really a happy thing, but if they are enemies, it is really...
Xiaoyue rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little headache.
That’s it~ Now that the matter has come to this, it’s useless to think too much. It’s better to think about how to deal with the aftermath~
There is a vast hurricane ocean between the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty and Daqian, and the circulation of information is difficult. The master is temporarily unable to know the situation of Daqian. But the master will return from the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty one day, and she must give her master an explanation.
Thinking of this, she quickly returned to the room.
Soon, two messenger birds, one blue and one white, flew out of the window of her room, flapping their wings and flying high into the sky.
…
Liaoyuan County, the main residence of the Cao family.
Coming out of Cao Bangyan's yard, Cao Youqing was in a bad mood.
Unknowingly, nearly a year has passed since Bang Yan was arrested. During this period, the entire Cao family was extremely busy in response to the investigation by the investigators and had no time to take care of themselves.
Fortunately, the investigator was finally sent away, Kuniyan was successfully redeemed, and the matter was finally concluded.
However, for her, this matter is far from over.
Cao Youqing's eyes swept around.
Along the way, people from the Cao clan would pass by from time to time. On the surface, everyone was still respectful to her, but she knew in her heart that although they didn't say it openly, they must be complaining about her secretly.
Otherwise, why would they dodge when I look at them?
This time, Cao's losses were too great.
Six million dry gold is still a huge sum of money even for a Zifu family like the Cao family. In order to raise this fund, Cao Bangning had to reduce the supply of resources to the clan and even sold several ships. How could people not resent her?
Moreover, the elders who were pushed out to take the blame this time are basically the older ones in the clan. Most of them are over three hundred years old, and they have at least dozens of descendants. They are already of that age. An ancestor-level figure.
Although this time they had to sacrifice for the family, Bunning's nephew might have promised to compensate them, so how could they not complain at all?
All these things are an unspeakable pressure for Cao Youqing.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed her mood became. The more her tribe members evaded her attitude, the worse her mood became.
This mood didn't get better until I arrived at my ancestor's Kunwu residence.
The ancestor of the Cao family is named "Cao Kunhao", and he is nearly 600 years old this year. In recent years, as his life span is getting closer and closer, his energy is not as good as before, and he doesn't go out for activities much anymore. Most of his time Kunwu stayed in retreat.
However, even if the ancestor is in retreat, Cao Youqing can come at any time when he wants to come.
After pushing the door open as usual, Cao Youqing looked up and saw Patriarch Kunhao sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
Compared with a few decades ago, he is now very old. Not only is his hair white, but there are also many wrinkles on his face. He looks like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
"Ancestor."
Seeing that familiar figure, for some reason, Cao Youqing felt aggrieved in his heart.
In a flash, she arrived in front of her ancestor's lounge chair, knelt on the grass next to her, hugged his arm coquettishly, and said aggrievedly: "Ancestor, I am not willing to give in, I really am not willing to give in~~ "
"Hey~"
Ancestor Kunhao sighed and slowly opened his slightly cloudy eyes.
Although he has never come forward, as the only Zifu ancestor of the Cao family, how could he not know what happened in the family during this period?
He reached out and touched Cao Youqing's head, and said dotingly: "You child, you will lose if you fail. With your current strength, as long as you practice hard, you will be able to achieve the Zifu in less than a hundred years, and there will be many opportunities in the future. Now we, Cao Shi, I can’t stand the trouble anymore.”
"Old Ancestor, you have loved me the most since I was a child. You know my personality. If I can't pass this test, I'm afraid I will be entangled by my inner demons. Then it will be difficult to pass the test of Heaven's Way." Cao Youqing's eyes flashed. With a touch of resentment, "A thousand times over, I have underestimated Wang Shouzhe. If this person is not eliminated, he will be a disaster in the future. When he becomes the Zifu, my Cao family will be harmed by him."
"Oh~ you kid... that's all. What you said makes some sense. If this person is not eliminated, he will indeed be a huge hidden danger." Patriarch Kunhao thought of the young head of the Wang family, and his expression became solemn unconsciously. He stood up and said, "However, this matter must be handled with caution. Unless you are completely sure, you must not easily alert the enemy."
In the depths of his eyes, there was also a hint of murderous intention.
"Ancestor, I will definitely not fail this time."
When thinking of Wang Shouzhe, Cao Youqing couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his fair and beautiful face was full of resentment.
Although that girl Luo Yuqing always snitches in front of the Lord, which is very annoying, but compared with Wang Shouzhe, she is nothing at all.
This time, she had no choice but to go find that stinky girl Luo Yuqing herself and ask her to help keep an eye on Wang Shouzhe.
She didn't believe that Wang Shouzhe was never alone!
