Su Yan had made his words so clear that he almost said that he wanted these 300 people.
It was impossible for Zou Zhi not to understand what he meant.
However, he was not angry at all. Instead, he generously expressed that Su Yan could use it first and return it at any time.
His meaning was very obvious. He did not want these 300 people anymore and directly gave them to Su Yan.
His actions made the Zou family members confused.
After three rounds of wine,
Zou Zhi looked at Su Yan and smiled."Sir, I invited you here because I have a request.”
"Family Head Zou, please tell me."
Su Yan said with a smile.
"I would like to request that you give the five shops in the south of Zhuo County to my Zou family to manage.”
Zou Zhi cupped his hands.
"Five streets in the south of the city?"
"These five streets are all important streets of the Southern City Market. They have a large number of customers.”
"Zou Family Head asked for the entire five streets right away. This is very difficult for me.”
"Don't worry, my family has been a merchant family for generations. We've always abided by our duties and never crossed our boundaries.”
Zou Zhi smiled and promised," We won't be like the family of the former county magistrate. We won't dominate the market and bully other families. We will also pay more taxes on time. Please rest assured."”
"This..."
Su Yan said hesitantly.
Zou Zhi rolled his eyes and immediately said,"As long as you are willing to give us five streets, my Zou family is willing to give you one million dollars, one thousand sets of armor, one thousand steel sabers, and twenty thousand arrows.”
"As for food, as long as Milord needs it, you can transfer it from my Zou family's shop at any time. What do you think?”
Su Yan didn't say anything, but the Zou family members behind Zou Zhi gasped.
Wasn't this condition too generous?
Even though the Zou family was a merchant in a huge market, they would still lose a lot of their vitality if they offered such conditions.
This was simply a huge loss!
The Zous started to suspect that Zou Zhi was crazy.
Su Yan looked at Zou Zhi. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Su Yan laughed out loud.
"Hahaha!"
"Everyone says that Family Head Zou is generous, but today, I see that it's not true. Family Head Zou is more straightforward than I imagined.”
Su Yan said with a smile.
"So, my lord, you agree?"
Zou Zhi asked with a smile.
Su Yan smiled and said,"No."”
"What's that?" Zou Zhi asked.”
"Those five streets are extremely important. I can't just hand them over to the Zou family so easily.”
"Then what are your conditions?"
"I'll hold a bidding meeting." "All the families in Zhuo County can participate in the bidding. I'll give those five streets to whoever has enough strength and credibility." Su Yan smiled.”
"It's impossible for the Zou family to directly obtain five streets, but I can give you a certain degree of preference in terms of policy.”
"At that time, it will depend on your own strength.”
"If you agree, then I will accept this gift. If you don't agree, then let's forget it.”
When the Zou family heard this, they all glared at him.
This Su Yan was simply too much. He had taken so many good things but still did not agree. He insisted on holding a bidding meeting for everyone to fight for it.
If the Zou family agreed to his conditions but didn't get the five streets, wouldn't they lose everything?
Some people could not hold back the anger in their hearts and wanted to stand up and question Su Yan.
However, at this moment, Zou Zhi, who was sitting at the front, looked at them indifferently.
Those people were immediately stunned for a moment, and then they suppressed the thoughts in their hearts.
Zou Zhi remained silent and did not speak. Su Yan was also happy to be quiet. He picked up the wine pot and drank by himself.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
After a while, Zou Zhi raised his head and looked at Su Yan with a determined gaze.
"Sir, we agree with what you said.”
He cupped his hands towards Su Yan.
The Zous were dumbfounded. They didn't understand why Zou Zhi would agree to such harsh conditions.
"Good!"
Su Yan laughed and said," Since Family Head Zou is so straightforward, then our deal is done. In a few days, I'll send someone to send out the news of the bidding. At that time, I'll definitely inform the Zou family as soon as possible."”
"In that case, thank you, sir."
Zou Zhi laughed.
Su Yan waved his hand and everyone began to eat and drink again.
After drinking a few cups, Zou Zhi suddenly smiled and said,"Daren is already the ruler of a county at such a young age. Now that you have eradicated the corrupt officials and are in charge of Zhuo County, your future is limitless.”
"You flatter me, Zou Family Head."
Su Yan laughed.
"I wonder if the county magistrate is married?”
Zou Zhi suddenly asked.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said,"Not really."
"Previously, I saw that my daughter would sometimes go to the county government to look for adults.”
Su Yan frowned." It's true. However, your daughter is too bored at home. She's also familiar with me, so she often chats with me."”
"Then how does Milord feel about my daughter?”
Zou Zhi asked with a smile.
Su Yan said," Your daughter has the beauty to topple a country. She is beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and virtuous. She is indeed a rare woman."”
At this point, Su Yan felt as if he had understood something.
"In that case, if I were to betroth my daughter to you, would you be willing?”
As expected, Zou Zhi's next sentence exposed his true intentions.
Su Yan smiled bitterly. At first, he did not expect Zou Zhi to ask this question, but it was already too late.
He thought for a moment and said,"I appreciate your kindness, Master Zou."”
"Sir, you're not willing?" Zou Zhi's expression changed. Or perhaps Daren already had someone in mind?”
"Family Head Zou, let me finish.”
Su Yan shook his head and laughed.
"Marriage is a serious matter. This matter is too important. I need to report the truth to my father first and let him decide.”
