299 Buying people's hearts

After listening to Chen Xiansong's words, Ze Long'er left in a brisk manner.He returned home with the cavalry, and then rushed into his father's study.The old city lord was flirting with a maid, and then he threw the maid out arbitrarily, and asked the butler to transfer everyone on the entire floor.

The old city lord didn't care about it, it's just a maid, just throw it away, it doesn't matter.He took a sip of fruit wine and said with a smile: "Why, what happened to rushing to me so late, is your elder brother greedy for money again or something? By the way, Lacus is also at the age to marry Now, you have to help her find a better young man in the city."

Since capturing Schumacher Dolan some time ago, the old castellan seems to have become gentle and wordy, perhaps a relationship that has been a lifelong wish.Ze Long'er didn't know whether it was good or bad, he took a breath, and slowly repeated what Chen Xiansong said just now.

Once a person has no goal, he will lose his fighting spirit, but after hearing what Ze Longer said, the old city lord gradually straightened up again, a flame was burning in his eyes, and he slammed the table , asked: "Chen Xiansong really said that?"

Zelong Er nodded affirmatively.

"Then how did you reply to him?" the old city lord asked nervously.

"I didn't say anything, I just came back." Ze Longer replied.

"It's fine if you don't speak, it's fine if you don't speak." The old city lord heaved a sigh of relief.This matter is too crucial, and it needs to be carefully considered. If Ze Longer answered randomly just now, then the opportunity may be lost.It may also put yourself in a place of eternal doom.Not answering is the best answer, when there is no real consideration.Ambiguity is the best response.

But everyone has desires.Even Chen Xiansong has it, but his desire is very simple, which is to protect his important relatives.But the current situation is becoming more and more difficult for him to figure out. It seems to be relatively safe, but it is also dangerous, and there is no one to discuss it with. Sister Qianxin and Xiao Min are biochemical people.Although she is extremely powerful in battle, she will never be proficient in politics and people's hearts. As for Catherine, although she has a little understanding of people's hearts, she lacks in the overall situation, otherwise she would not have been forced to that level before. [

To protect those around me.Chen Xiansong felt that he had to cultivate his own power.Although Bai Min and Bai Qianxin are very powerful, they are hard to beat with two fists and four hands. It is hard to know what kind of situation they will encounter in the future, so Chen Xiansong feels that he has to protect the two of them in the future, which is the responsibility of a man.

And the City Lord's Mansion.It is a very good partner for cooperation. The two sides are now in close contact. The most important thing is that most warriors are very ambitious.Chen Xiansong is now in the palm of the Soul Thinker Association.It is easy to obtain a lot of useful information, the City Lord's Mansion in recent years.They have been expanding their armaments, although the speed is not fast, but if they go on like this, it will take less than a few decades to truly "separate one side". From their actions, Chen Xiansong smelled something strange, so what he just said, no But his proposal was also a temptation.

As long as there is a real royal family and aristocrats, there must be a powerful soul thinker standing behind them.Chen Xiansong intends to support the City Lord's Mansion to become a powerful 'King Pan', and even intends to help them fight for the throne of king.Chen Xiansong is short of time now, and the City Lord's Mansion is his shield, fighting for vital time resources for him, and in return, Chen Xiansong wants to give them a real fortune.

In fact, Chen Xiansong's temptation is correct. The old city lord does have further ideas, but the family is not strong enough now. Although there is such a lucrative business as snow salt, if he wants to participate in the struggle to seize the palace, It's still the accumulation of so many decades.

He originally thought that he would not have the chance to see this wish that could not be shared with others in this life, so he planned to provide for the elderly, keep it alive, and pass this wish on to the next patriarch of the family when he was dying.It's just that I didn't expect that someone brought it up today, and it seems that there is still hope for success.He understands very well that the current civil strife in Kate Kingdom is the most appropriate time, but he always feels that he is not strong enough and dare not get involved, so he can only let the opportunity go away, but if there is a strong foreign aid, then things may really have a lot to do.

The two father and son sat in the room, talking to each other, pouring down cups of fruit wine, three or four candles were burned out, and the two of them still did not come to a conclusion.When the sky was about to dawn, Ze Longer said: "Father, I think this matter may really be done. The opportunity is too rare. If our family wants to go further, we must have a trustworthy and capable person." The soul thinker of the company is helping behind the scenes, since he is willing to help, why don't we accept it?"

"The throne is not so easy to win!" The old city lord wrinkled his face even more deeply: "Think about it, even if your head hurts, don't rush to answer, you have to think about this matter carefully!"

"I'm afraid that he will get impatient and cooperate with other people." Zelonger swallowed, "There are quite a few nobles in Kate Kingdom who are stronger than us."

"Hey, yes!" The old city lord wrinkled his forehead, and the two of them became silent again.

Not long after, it was dawn.Chen Xiansong got up from the bed, washed up, and after breakfast, he took Xiao Min to the foot of the mountain.The tavern has been built and is now ready to open.Catherine and Huilian are already busy inside, arranging bonsai and setting the dining table.

Catherine attaches great importance to this tavern, and now she thinks that Chen Xiansong's woman always wants to do something for him.The little guy is also a helper inside, watching the three beautiful women busy, Chen Xiansong stood for a while, and wanted to go up to help, but was blocked by Hui Lian: "Husband, these things should not be done by you, Scholars far away!"

"You've misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence!" Chen Xiansong smiled a little: "There are a few sentences before this sentence, and it is interesting to read them together."

Huilian had an expression of confusion.Chen Xiansong thought for a while, maybe the current semantics are different from before, so he gave up.Since no one asked him to help, he just sat down and waited.When it was almost noon, the door opened and was about to start business. The mercenaries who had waited outside for a long time rushed in cheering. When they saw Chen Xiansong, they immediately went dumb, looking embarrassed.

Chen Xiansong got himself half a glass of white wine from the side, and said with a smile: "Today is the opening day of the tavern, thank you for coming to help me, and thank you for taking care of me. I will drink half a glass here to show respect." After speaking, he drank half of the white wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Hui Lian." Chen Xiansong shouted: "Today, people in the village will give away a small glass of Heluo Daqu for free whenever they come to the tavern.", [

These words immediately greeted the cheers of the mercenaries... the name of Heluo Daqu, as long as the mercenaries have heard of it.The wine is as clean as a spring, and has an unusually mellow taste. It has long been a myth, and now it is a great honor to be able to drink a glass for free.What's more, Chen Xiansong's bounty is very generous, and the mercenaries in the escort team now have a lot of money. They have already inquired about the situation here, and know that there is the best wine in the world. Pay some money and get a few cups to taste slowly.

Hearing Chen Xiansong's words, Hui Lian felt a little heartbroken. A small cup of Heluo Daqu was priced at one silver coin. The whole village and the guards must drink at least dozens of gold coins.Although the family is not short of money, doing business is business, and this is not the way business should be done.

It's just that the Kingdom of Zhendan pays attention to a married husband, especially in such a public place, the lady of Zhendan will never refute her husband's face, she smiled and asked the servants to fill a glass for each mercenary Well, Chen Xiansong knew that he was here this morning, and they couldn't let go. After making a gesture of asking, he left, and the little guy followed suit.

As soon as he left, the tavern became lively.

There are two types of alcohol in the tavern, one is wheat beer and the other is Heluo Daqu.The former is cheap, while the latter is expensive, but compared with other places, the baijiu sold by Chen Xiansong is already at a conscientious price.When the mercenaries heard that a barrel of baijiu cost only six gold coins, they were immediately stunned. Their first reaction was not to drink it immediately, but to buy the whole barrel and then move to the city to sell it.

Seeing this situation, Catherine and Huilian immediately cut off the supply of liquor, and then told the situation to Chen Xiansong who was playing with the little guy in the study.Chen Xiansong thought for a while, and then said: "In the future, the supply of baijiu will be limited. One person can only buy a small cup a day. Reduce the production of baijiu and increase the production of beer."

"But this will save us a lot of money." Catherine said as she looked at her daughter standing next to her. Seeing that her daughter's clothes were a little messy, she couldn't help giving her a blank look.It's a pity that the little guy didn't feel embarrassed or scared, but made a face at his mother.

Catherine knew that her daughter had an ambiguous relationship with Chen Xiansong, but as long as there was no real relationship between them, she would turn a blind eye.

"How much money you make is just a secondary matter." Chen Xiansong said with a smile: "My real intention of building the tavern is to keep the hearts of these guards. In this world, there is no loyalty without a reason, and there is no one-sided death. Any relationship requires both parties to work hard. I brew liquor not to make money, but to let the mercenaries have a place to entertain and vent, and to strengthen their sense of identity with Huishi Village. If they are allowed to transport the liquor to If the city lord resold it, that would be putting the cart before the horse. They are mercenaries, not merchants."

Hearing what Chen Xiansong said, Catherine understood what he meant.As a former aristocratic woman, Catherine knows very well that the nobles with soldiers and the nobles without soldiers are two different worlds.She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will do this well."

With the kindness of her lover and something she can work hard for, Catherine exudes an unusually dazzling light all over her body, and she seems to be much more beautiful.

Another five days have passed... The name of the tavern in Huishi Village has spread to Black Rock City, many drunkards flocked to drink some Heluo Daqu, but they were told that only people from Huishi Village were eligible to buy it, which immediately aroused public outrage and almost caused trouble Come on, a hundred or so mercenaries lined up... Even the little nobles left obediently.

In this atmosphere, Ze Long'er, with red and swollen eyes, came to Huishi Village. (to be continued...)
