Chapter 459

Since the city of Shanyang has become more prosperous, people here have been used to going to bed late, especially in summer nights. Night is the time when people prefer to come out and do activities.

Therefore, even though it was getting late, when Sun Xiangfu and Li Chengqian came to Wang Xu's mansion, it was still brightly lit, and Wang Xu himself greeted him out of the mansion immediately.

"The crown prince and Sun Dudu came to the humble house, it's really full of splendor! Come, let's have a banquet."

It seemed that he expected Sun Xiangfu to visit again, and Wang Xu's mansion had already made preparations. After Li Chengqian and Sun Xiangfu greeted him a few words, they were led by him to sit in the main hall. After a while, all kinds of Cold cuts, iced grapes, vegetables and fruits were served on the table, and dancers and musicians began to play music and dance in the hall.

Sun Xiangfu had been to Wang Xu's mansion many times before, but he had never been treated like this. It seems that this was specially arranged by Wang Xu to cater to Li Chengqian's preferences.

After sitting down, Sun Xiangfu winked at Li Chengqian, who was full of disappointment, and said to Wang Xu, "My lord, your majesty has some objections to the quotation you gave, so he specially sent the crown prince and the governor here to discuss with you. .”

"Yeah, Gu also thinks that the price of 500 million guan is too low. If the Wang family is willing to bid 2000 million guan, father must have agreed just now."

Hearing this, Wang Hao was taken aback for a moment, as if he felt that Li Chengqian was a little different from the past, but seeing Li Chengqian's not serious expression, he believed it a little.

So, after he thought about it for a while, he didn't think anything different about the price, and said, "Since the prince said that it can be done with 2000 million yuan, it must be done. A little more money is nothing to my Wang family." What, as long as the prince understands the sincerity of my royal family towards you."

If Sun Xiangfu hadn't done a lot of ideological work on Li Chengqian when he came here just now, Li Chengqian would have treated Wang Xu as a confidant when he heard Wang Xu's words.

But now!It is still necessary to treat him as a confidant, but only on the surface. Before the Wang family is completely eradicated, on the surface, it is necessary to maintain harmony with the Wang family.

"Let's just talk about it! Young Master Wang will definitely help Gu complete the tasks assigned by his father. Come, come, and respect Young Master Wang."

Li Chengqian is really a born actor. In terms of acting talent, Sun Xiangfu is really far behind him. At least Sun Xiangfu couldn't do the expression of joy from the heart just now.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression and what he said, Wang Xu heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that raising the price to 2000 million guan was a negotiating task assigned by Li Shimin to Li Chengqian. This should be regarded as a test of Li Chengqian's political ability. In taking the school exam, I can be regarded as helping Li Chengqian to complete the task of the school exam, but in his heart, he regarded Li Chengqian as a fool. Such a thing, he actually brought it up and told others to listen, didn't he tell himself, Does he owe himself a favor?

It's better to pack some grass!It will save trouble if you use it in the future.

After this mental activity, Wang Xu raised his glass with a smile and drank the wine, saying, "Sharing the crown prince's worries is a matter of my royal family's duty. It would be good for the prince to help carry it out."

What is the purpose of the Wang family buying the land? Sun Xiangfu has already made it clear to Li Chengqian. Although they are so generous and willing to invest 2000 million yuan, in fact, the five families in Shangqi City must be the ones who pay the money in the end. The Wang family just collapsed. With one move, not only did he get the land he wanted, but he might even earn some price difference from it. Moreover, Wang Xu himself had already asked for 500 million guan, and 2000 million guan, which was actually within the expectations of the old members of the Wang clan. According to the price of land auctioned in Shanyang, the price of 500 million mu of land should exceed 2000 million.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at Sun Xiangfu's eyes again, and said with a smile, "I must, I must. I don't know if Lingmei Wang Yao has ever rested. If not, why don't you come out and play a song to cheer up the wine."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, and seeing his expectant expression, Wang Xu showed a bit of joy, and said, "Your Highness is coming to visit, my little sister will not dare to neglect, I'll send someone to call for it, and I'll send you a call." Prince, please wait a moment."

Li Chengqian nodded with joy on his face, as if he had got what he wanted, he took the initiative to invite wine again, and when Wang Xu's glass was dry, the atmosphere became lively.

Since the Wang family wants to make a fuss with Li Chengqian, then let them continue to do it according to their thoughts. As long as Li Chengqian doesn't really agree with their family, then it is easy to take advantage of the situation to extract some benefits from the Wang family. In this regard, Sun Xiangfu had already explained to Li Chengqian.

Moreover, the effect is already obvious. If the person who called out the price of 2000 million guan just now was Sun Xiangfu, no matter how generous Wang Xu was, he would not even blink his eyes at the huge sum of 500 million guan. annual tax!
However, the effect of Li Chengqian's opening is different. It is even more different if it is said that it is a task entrusted to Li Chengqian by Li Shimin. Let alone the price, the Wang family can afford it. Help Li Chengqian achieve his wish.

When talking about business, if you seize the favorable conditions, you must enlarge them as much as possible. Li Chengqian himself is the favorable conditions that Sun Xiangfu can take advantage of.

After a while, Wang Yao, holding a five-string pipa, came to the banquet, and after bowing to everyone, all the musicians and dancers retreated.

Sun Xiangfu looked at the little girl's appearance, although she was quite delicate, but between her brows, she still looked very green, at most in her eighties, and she was likely to collapse, but that figure , It's a little scary, girls around 12 years old have grown to a height of nearly 1.7 meters, which is relatively rare and tall.

Moreover, there was a strange color in her eyes, which made Sun Xiangfu sure that she was of barbarian blood, presumably, she was born of Wang Rui and one of his orchid concubines.

"Sister Wang Yao's five-string pipa solo is a masterpiece, the teacher can listen to it carefully."

In fact, the reason why Li Chengqian is so close to Sun Xiangfu is because he is Li Chengqian's music teacher, who single-handedly led him into the door of music. Li Chengqian's love for music performance art comes from the bone marrow. At the risk of being impeached, he also favored Leren, pretended to be a Huren, sang Huqu and made plays. As a result, he hated many ministers of the East Palace who were in charge of teaching him, and made these ministers continue to speak ill of him in front of Li Shimin. How unreliable.

However, Sun Xiangfu is not like Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng and others who only criticize him blindly. Instead, they communicate with him privately and guide him in ways that interest him. It seems that he is not weak in IQ, even if he can't be a wise king through the ages, he can still be a successful king with ease. At least, his performance in Wang Xu's mansion today made Sun Xiangfu very satisfied.

There were many geniuses in ancient times. Even if Wang Yao was a plucked string genius, at her age, it is really rare to play the pipa with a certain emotion. It is no wonder that Li Chengqian likes her so much. Humans have no resistance to this kind of music that can make emotions take off.

Shaking his head and shaking his head, he listened to Wang Yao's music very attentively. Li Chengqian did not hesitate to praise him at all, but Wang Xu was completely relieved.

"Brother Zhengming, I know that you were born as a retainer of the emperor, so you naturally belong to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace family. If my Wang family also supports the crown prince with all my strength, there must be a place for my Wang family in the court in the future!"

Compared with the other several companies, the Wang family now has an advantage. Apart from the fact that it started to develop outside the customs a year earlier, Wang Gui still occupies the position of servant, and there is a senior official at the level of prime minister in the court, so the Wang family's right to speak is naturally very Comparable to several other families, with Li Shimin's deliberate help, the Wang family also fully realized the advantage of someone in the court who is easy to handle. This is Li Shimin's intention to keep Wang Gui in the position of servant. If there is no power in Wang Gui's hands, It is not so easy for his royal family to deal with the joint attack of the other families.

Generally speaking, the Zhenguan Dynasty's control over these aristocratic families was quite successful. In the past two years, many ministers under the other families were killed by Wang Gui. Of course, the Wang family also suffered some losses. During the struggle, Li Shimin was also constantly taking back his power. Now, the situation that they controlled the court had almost been broken, and the next step was to break the situation where they controlled the local area.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu smiled and replied to Wang Xu in a low voice, "It's natural, if it wasn't for the prince, do you think I would allow your Wang family to use means to replace all the land around Shanyang Dingxiang with your family's land?" Well, this is greatly detrimental to the imperial court's control over the place."

Hearing this, Wang Xu knew in his heart that he never dared to treat Sun Xiangfu as a fool. With an investment risk of about 2000 million yuan, the completion of the Wang family's strategic development plan was determined by the Wang family's old association after repeated research. With Shanyang and Dingxiang's more than 1000 million mu of fertile fields in hand, no matter how the outside situation will change in the future, his Wang family will remain invincible, and the output in the fields is real and valuable. of value.

Moreover, they have actually seen the problems that Sun Xiangfu saw. It is true that the Hu people cannot be controlled as easily as the Han people, but they are sure that the court does not want these Hu people to mess up. Therefore, in the future, as long as they put their own Interests are tied to the interests of the imperial court, and no one can shake their position.

"My son said earlier that if this matter is accomplished, there must be a big thank you. I will still count on it. How can I get the five families in Shangqi to submit? I also ask Brother Zhengming to help me."

"Is it because if I don't help you, the court won't receive the money?"

"Brother Zhengming was joking. Even my Wang family can't easily get 2000 million yuan. However, I only need a statement from Brother Zhengming and some attitude, and I can quickly get it from five families in Qicheng. I have received some money back in my hands, and at a time when the imperial court is in need of money, brother Zhengming is also sharing the court's worries!"

"Hehe, I think those wise men who came to your royal family's old meeting have already considered all the problems. Forget it, I hope your so-called thank you will not let me down."

As for the matter of the field, it was settled. As for what to say in Sun Xiangfu's statement later, how to set his attitude, of course, there is no need for Wang Xu to teach him in detail. Sun Xiangfu is a smart person, and he will make up his own mind.

After the official business was finalized, Sun Xiangfu's remaining task was to eat. After rushing for three games in a row, he finally had a chance to fill his stomach. After eating, of course he went home to sleep, so he decisively interrupted In order to discuss the issue of music, Li Chengqian, who is talking to Wang Yao, you and me.

On Sun Xiangfu's carriage, Li Chengqian said very proudly, "How about it, my performance just now was not bad!"

"Barely pass, when you are with Wang Yao, you shouldn't deliberately show that kind of lewd expression, remember, you are still a 12-year-old child, even if you like it, you shouldn't act like an adult That kind of anxious look, you have to figure out your role carefully, and do these scenes in front of them, which will give you many opportunities to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the future, but if you do it too obviously, it will be easy to be exposed, and you can play a good life This game is not easy."

When Li Chengqian heard the words, he nodded with deep approval and said, "Well, Gu also thinks that the feeling just now is a bit wrong. Next time Gu must pay attention to it. By the way, this time the Wang family has gained 200 million more. Will you praise me?"

"It will definitely be! 200 million is not a small number..."

This is the special method that Sun Xiangfu thought of to upright Li Chengqian, without entanglement in his previous misunderstandings, and without embarrassing him face to face, after some communication, use a method that he is more interested in, to guide him on the right path .
