Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 670: Doesn’t this force him to cut off his sleeves?
"What good things does the Nangong family have that Prince Qi's palace should be concerned about?" The old man slowly took a puff of dry cigarette and asked calmly.

Xie Yun said: "Old man, doesn't the reason why the Nangong family is what it is today depends on those mines? What Prince Qi's Mansion is interested in is the iron ore in the hands of the old man."

The old man smiled: "What kind of mine can the Nangong family have? Miss Xie, don't be joking. If there is a mine, I won't know about it. But what I find strange is that the head of the Nangong family is A Sui. How could you find me? ?”

Xie Yun said: "Zhixing grew up in the palace, and his eyes are brighter than ordinary people. Zhixing still knows who has the final say in this family. Zhixing asked the old man here, whether to cooperate with Prince Qi's Palace for a win-win situation, or to enter Prince Qi's Palace enemy list?”

The old man laughed again. He shook off the cigarette ashes and looked at Xie Yun with his legs crossed: "Miss Xie, let's talk about business, and the threat will not be great. Does Prince Qi know that you are so arrogant?"

Xie Yun said: "Old man, when talking about business, let's talk about business. There is no need to talk about character, because character is worthless in the business world. King Qi is often a god, but sometimes he is a devil. It depends on whether the person he is with is compatible. "

The old man exhaled smoke lightly: "It seems that I have no choice. Let's talk about the price offered by Prince Qi's Mansion. I have to weigh it to see if this business is worth doing."

Xie Yun said: "There are serious floods in the south. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to open mountains and divert water, but these are small things. The main thing we lack is tools."

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Prince Qi's palace has no mines. No matter how good the craftsmen are, it won't help. That's why Prince Qi sets his sights on the Nangong family's mines."

"If the Nangong family is willing to cooperate with Prince Qi's Mansion and provide Prince Qi's Mansion with all the materials needed to make these tools, Prince Qi's Mansion will help the Nangong family strive for opportunities to cooperate with the imperial court."

"We even asked the court to issue documents to the Nangong family for dealing in ironware. From then on, the Nangong family can not only buy and sell ironware freely, but also get orders from the court. The old man should know how much profit there is."

"The above-mentioned cooperation method is very gentle and does not harm wealth or life. However, there is also a less gentle method. That is Prince Qi's Palace suggesting that the imperial court directly expropriate the iron ore in the hands of the Nangong family and issue an injunction to the Nangong family. , prohibiting the Nangong family from engaging in anything related to iron."

"In that case, the Nangong family may be suspected of secretly hoarding iron ore to make weapons. If they are found to be treason, the Nangong family's century-old foundation will be destroyed."

"Even if it's not so serious, the Nangong family, who can't deal in ironware, will change from a wealthy businessman to an ordinary wealthy businessman in two or three years."

The old man took another puff of cigarette, and then said after a while: "The first way is simply pie in the sky. No fool would choose to cooperate with Prince Qi's Palace, but I am very curious as to why Prince Qi's Palace gave such great benefits to the Nangong family. ?”

After a pause, the old man added: "Girl, don't blame me for overthinking. I really know that nothing is free in the world."

Xie Yun said: "To be honest, when the matter is urgent, the south is in urgent need of tools to divert water and discharge floods, and the demand is very high. It is difficult for ordinary merchants to meet this condition, so Prince Qi's Palace would rather spend a lot of money to cooperate with the Nangong family, and cannot let the Nangong family suffer." ”

"But if the Nangong family doesn't agree, Prince Qi's palace can only choose the latter, which is not too gentle. But doing that, although simple and direct, will waste a lot of time. Now the people are in dire straits, and we are also I don’t want to spend too much time on it, so I came to discuss this business with such sincerity.”

The old man was silent for a while and said: "I will not do this business with Prince Qi's Mansion."

Xie Yun narrowed his eyes and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Then the old man chooses the latter?" The old man shook his head: "No, no, I can provide the iron mine, but I don't need to do this business, but use it for you. If you want to get the betrothal gift, you must first become the wife of my Nangong family."

Xie Yun pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment.

The old man thought "she" thought the betrothal gift was too expensive and frightened "her", so he explained slowly and leisurely.

"Thank you, Miss. It's not that I don't like this business, but my belly is not that big and I can't eat this big piece of meat in one bite."

"Although receiving documents and orders from the court can bring huge wealth to the Nangong family, rather than manufacturing murder tools for the court, the Nangong family is more willing to do this hoe and plow business with the common people. With such money, I can make a solid income. .”

"And there are no shortcuts to doing business. It has to be done step by step. It requires a flexible mind and hands and feet that are more diligent than anyone else. It also requires the accumulation of needles and threads from generation to generation and the hard work of generations of people. Only in this way can we Protect the family business."

"The Nangong family suddenly gained too much wealth. For the Nangong family, it is not the icing on the cake, but a raging fire."

"Because wealth and wealth will not only sap the fighting spirit of future generations, but also make them complacent and get carried away. If the Nangong family comes into contact with weapons that are all about killing, it will also involve the Nangong family in the vortex of power struggles. The gain outweighs the loss. , the gain outweighs the loss..."

"So more than the cold money, I need a warm granddaughter-in-law to help me keep the Nangong family in check. Inside, she will take care of the family affairs and unite people's hearts, and outside, she will welcome and send her to you."

"You have something that speaks to my heart. People can't just live a good life for the present, but also think about future generations. Therefore, the predecessors should guard the inheritance so that the children and grandchildren will not have no shelter."

"But if a family wants to thrive and continue, it needs an excellent helmsman. However, a dirty family will destroy the leader who is supposed to be the leader of the resurgence. The Nangong family's backyard is a mess, and one day it will definitely It will become a shortcoming that brings down the Nangong family, but I believe you can handle it."

"Furthermore, King Qi entrusts you with such an important matter, which shows that you are deeply trusted by King Qi. If you become the daughter-in-law of the Nangong family, won't the Nangong family be able to rely on Prince Qi's palace?"

"Thank you, miss, I never only look at the immediate future when doing business, but also consider the long-term future. I believe I will not regret this choice."

The old man spoke eloquently and seemed to make sense, but why was his eyes so bad?Don't his flat chest and tall figure not show that he is a man?
Xie Yun really felt that it was a big headache. If she was really a woman, she would get married. If she asked him to marry a man, wouldn't this force him to cut off his sleeves?Doesn't he want to stop working?

But the old man's attitude is very obvious - if he wants something, he must sell himself.

Xie Changshi doesn’t want to sell his body, can he?
