The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 410
The eldest son Zhou Qi laughed, "Miss Xiao really did not disappoint this eldest son. Then tell me again, should this eldest son agree to your request?"

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "Why don't you agree. Although the property in the hands of the Xiao Family's West Mansion is not as good as those two sealed mines, it is still worth a lot. His Royal Highness has another way to get money, which is very important to His Highness." There are advantages and no disadvantages. What is more important is the way of grain. With those few grain shops, His Highness can do more things. Please also make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise our Xiao family may lose these industries in order to save people. into the hands of others. For example, the second son Zhou Zhi."

The eldest son Zhou Qi laughed, "Miss Xiao, it is useless to threaten this eldest son."

"The little girl dare not threaten His Highness. The little girl is just telling the truth." Xiao Mingyu looked at the other party firmly.

The eldest son Zhou Qi relaxed his whole body, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Xiao, please come and talk to His Highness in detail about what those industries are, what is the annual income, and what is the food route."

"Of order." Xiao Mingzhen and his eldest son Zhou Qi introduced the properties that the Xiao family could sell.Xiao Mingyu sat drinking tea and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.From the looks of it, the crown prince Zhou Qi was obviously tempted.Just be tempted, as long as you are tempted, the next thing will be easy to discuss.What I'm afraid of is that he won't be tempted and will make things difficult for others.

Xiao Mingyu drank two cups of tea, and the matter was almost finished.But the crown prince Zhou Qi did not express his position clearly.

Xiao Mingzhen winked at Xiao Mingyu, what to do in this situation.

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, when do you think it is appropriate for us to pick up the old man? My old man is sick and lives in prison. For such an elderly person, it may happen at any time... Please His Royal Highness be accommodating."

The eldest son Zhou Qi said with a smile: "You can go pick him up early tomorrow morning. At that time, bring enough 20 taels of silver and hand it over to the government, and the government will naturally release him."

Xiao Mingzhen was ecstatic, he thought he would bleed profusely, but he didn't expect that his eldest son Zhou Qi would be so forthright.

The eldest son Zhou Qi continued, "I hope the Xiao family can sort out those properties as soon as possible. After three days, this eldest son hopes to see your sincerity."

Xiao Mingzhen solemnly promised, "His Royal Highness, don't worry, he will offer the Xiao family's sincerity. But there is one more thing, I hope His Royal Highness can be accommodating."

Then Xiao Mingzhen carefully told His Royal Highness about the Cheng'an gambling house.

The eldest son, Zhou Qi, laughed mockingly, "The eldest lady of the Xiao family, you are really daring. The lady in the inner house actually associates with the gambling house."

Xiao Mingzhen felt ashamed and blushed.

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, but when people make mistakes, knowing their mistakes can make a big difference. After learning this lesson, I will not dare to do such foolish things again. Please also His Royal Highness look at the situation in our Xiao family. For the sake of sincerity and sincerity, please help me solve this trivial matter."

The eldest son Zhou Qi nodded, "I can help with this matter. But this eldest son is not giving face to the Xiao family, but to Miss Xiao you. Otherwise, if Zhou Gan asks, this eldest son will not be able to explain it."

Xiao Mingyu's expression did not change, and he said respectfully: "Thank you for your generous help."

The crown prince Zhou Qi said with a smile: "The tea has been drunk, and the matter is finished. So let's talk about the future."

Xiao Mingzhen didn't understand the meaning of the son Zhou Qi's words, Xiao Mingyu laughed and said: "The future of Zhongzhou is under the control of the palace. Does His Royal Highness need to worry?"

The prince Zhou Qi looked at Xiao Mingyu with a half-smile, "Miss Xiao, this prince really can't treat you like an ordinary person. Then tell me, what will happen to Zhongzhou's future?"

Xiao Mingyu talked eloquently, "It's nothing more than two situations, either peace or war. Peace, the palace is definitely not willing to let it go. As for war, Zhongzhou occupies a favorable location and has a strong army. It is a pity that Zhongzhou has poor land and food. Production is limited. As long as the imperial court blocks the grain and water sources of Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou City will fall without a fight."

Xiao Mingzhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, Xiao Mingyu was so courageous, he dared to say such a thing.Aren't you afraid His Royal Highness will blame you?

The eldest son Zhou Qi said with a smile: "Miss Xiao only knows one thing but not the other. The palace has stored a lot of food over the years."

"No matter how much food is eaten, one day it will be eaten." Xiao Mingyu smiled sarcastically, "Of course, I believe in this weakness. Since I have seen it, the court and the palace must have known about it a long time ago. The court has strategies, and the palace must have countermeasures. We It's purely unfounded worrying, and it's a trick."

"Miss Xiao is too self-effacing. Last year, my son went to the capital and learned a lot. Maybe there is a third possibility."

Xiao Mingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, she didn't believe there was a third possibility at all.The imperial court's tolerance towards Zhongzhou is gradually decreasing, otherwise the palace would not take action against the Xiao family at this time to shock people's hearts and stabilize the interior.In Xiao Mingyu's view, the statement made by the eldest son Zhou Qi was simply a bluff, trying to cover up.

The eldest son Zhou Qi smiled and said: "Obviously Miss Xiao has doubts about the words of this eldest son. Then do you know what the court is busy with now? They are all busy fighting for power and profit, even Mr. Han Ge is no exception. In the capital, in the In their position, if they don’t fight or grab it, there is only a dead end. After a fight, there is still a way to survive. Even if the emperor has great determination, there are a lot of people who are holding back, and the matter is not so easy to solve. Although the palace There is also no shortage of power struggles, but the palace is small and the number of people is small, so there are naturally fewer troubles, and it is much smaller. This also gives us plenty of time for the palace."

"The little girl will respectfully wish His Royal Highness the wishes come true." Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, with a respectful expression on his face.

"Miss Xiao is not optimistic about Zhongzhou, nor is she optimistic about the palace?"

"No, I haven't thought about it that way. Because I don't know anything about the future. Maybe the sword is on the verge, but just because of an accident, everyone will turn the war into peace. Who can say this kind of thing. What people can do is Make a good plan for the present and lay a solid foundation for the future. As for our Xiao family, this time, our vitality has been greatly damaged, and the family fortune will inevitably decline. For the Xiao family, we must work hard to revitalize the family business. At that time, we also hope that the palace can be opened online. On the one hand, give us the convenience of the Xiao family. The Xiao family dare not be greedy, let alone make any unreasonable demands. We only want to be treated fairly and justly in the business field." Xiao Mingyu said seriously.

The eldest son Zhou Qi said with a smile: "Could it be that Miss Xiao thinks that the palace will continue to suppress the Xiao family, making it impossible for the Xiao family to stand up forever?"

"Of course the Wangfu will not, but how the people under the Wangfu will do it is uncertain. The Xiao family is no longer the Xiao family of the past. The Xiao family now urgently needs time to recuperate. When the time comes, it will naturally develop slowly I'm only worried that those who are interested will not give the Xiao family this time, and will drive the Xiao family to extinction and seize all the remaining properties of the Xiao family." Xiao Mingyu said so.
