Xingyang Zheng.
The Zheng family in the world originated from Xingyang, and the Zheng family in Xingyang spread all over the world.
Zheng Shanguo, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Minister of Rites, finally opened his eyes when he sensed someone coming to his seat.
This time, the Zheng family of Xingyang had only donated 350,000 dan of grain and had no intention of fighting for the aristocratic families. Therefore, Zheng Shanguo sat at the banquet with his eyes closed. He did not expect the King of Zhao to come.
"Does the King of Zhao want to borrow grain from the Zheng family of Xingyang for the richest man Zheng?”
"The richest man Zheng is not a member of the Zheng family of Xingyang. If you want to borrow grain, you have come to the wrong place.”
Zheng Shanguo wanted to dismiss the King of Zhao with just a few words.
However, Li Yuanjing smiled and said in a low voice,"I heard that the ancestor of the richest man in the Zheng family of Xingyang was a concubine's son. However, after seven or eight generations, there has been no contact.”
"The richest man, Zheng, has always wanted to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Zheng family of Xingyang. He also hoped that after his death, he would have a memorial tablet in the family for his clansmen to worship.”
"This time, if Minister Zheng is willing, I can turn the Zheng family of Xingyang into a first-class family of the Tang Empire.”
"This is the only family in the world!"
Zheng Shanguo originally thought that no matter how much the King of Zhao said, he would not care about the other party. However, after Li Yuanjing's bluff, he was immediately tempted.
First-rank aristocratic family?
Of course, the Zheng family of Xingyang wanted it, but Zheng Shanguo knew that she did not have the strength to do so.
Zheng Fengchi was a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, which was obviously a lie made up by the King of Zhao.
"King Zhao, you really have the talent of a strategist from the pre-Qin period. This old man is extremely tempted.”
Zheng Shanguo sighed.
Li Yuanjing laid his cards on the table." As long as the Zheng family of Xingyang helps Mogul Zheng win this first-rank family, Mogul Zheng will acknowledge his ancestors and return to his family. By then, won't the first-rank family be the Zheng family of Xingyang?"”
"When the time comes, it will be the richest man in Zheng, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and I who will benefit.”
"However, I'm afraid that the Zheng family of Xingyang will offend the other four families. Lord Cui Mingan will never let the Zheng family of Xingyang off.”
Zheng Shanguo explained the pros and cons.
However, the Cui family of Boling, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Lu family of Fanyang were all north of the Yellow River, and their power was deeply rooted.
The Zheng family of Xingyang was located in Kaifeng, south of the Yellow River, far away from those families.
Since ancient times, the cooperation between families was built on strength.
If there was a choice that could increase the influence of their family or deepen their relationship with other families, as long as they were smart, they would choose the former.
Therefore, Zheng Shanguo chose to cooperate with the King of Zhao without hesitation.
Since Zheng Fengchi had donated eight hundred thousand stones, he was only one step away from becoming a first-class family. Moreover, he was willing to acknowledge his ancestors in the Zheng family of Xingyang.
Zheng Shanguo had no reason not to make this deal.
Even the Zheng family of Xingyang had benefited greatly.
However, Zheng Shanguo felt that the Zhao King in front of him was a monster.
What was originally a dead chess piece was instantly revived by him.
Fortunately, the Zheng family of Xingyang is his friend and not his enemy.
......
The Longevity Palace fell silent.
Everyone looked at the King of Zhao and Zheng Shanguo conversing in a low voice.
Obviously, he wanted to borrow grain from the Zheng family of Xingyang.
"Assistant Minister, can the King of Zhao persuade the Zheng family of Xingyang to donate grain?”Li Shi Min stretched out his hand to summon Zhangsun Wuji and asked.
"Impossible!" Zhangsun Wuji said flatly. The Zheng family of Xingyang had nothing to do with the King of Zhao and Zheng Fengchi, and they had no interest in them. How could they offend the five surnames and seven Wangs for these two people?”
Li Shi Min's face was filled with worry. Clearly, he hoped that the King of Zhao would be able to successfully borrow the grain.
However, why did he feel that King Zhao had a chance of succeeding?
Zheng Fengchi looked at the King of Zhao, who still had not given up, and sighed. Zheng Fengchi's Zheng Family was not Xingyang's Zheng Family, and it had nothing to do with the King of Zhao.
If the King of Zhao went to the Zheng family in Xingyang to borrow grain, it would be a disgrace.
Cui Mingan discussed with Lu Changqing, Wang Shouxiao, Cui Jun, and the others.
They came to a conclusion.
Zheng Shanguo, that sly old fox, would never lend Zheng Fengchi food because there was no benefit to it.
Unless Zheng Fengchi was Zheng Shanguo's long-lost younger brother. Hahaha, how could that be possible!
"King Zhao, I wonder how much longer do we have to drag this out?”
"This is simply nonsense."
Cui Min Gan's voice resounded throughout the hall, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
However, the next moment, his face froze.
"The Zheng family of Xingyang owes Zheng Fengchi 200,000 dan of grain.”
Zheng Shanguo said.
Everyone was shocked.
Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and the others stared with their eyes wide open.
Zheng Fengchi's ashen face instantly lit up. His eyes were filled with shock as he said in his heart,"King Zhao, I will definitely serve you in the future.”
Cui Min Gan's face darkened as he slammed the table and shouted,""Minister Zheng, do you insist?”
"The richest man Zheng is a descendant of the Zheng family of Xingyang. He once lent 200,000 stones of grain to the Zheng family of Xingyang.”
Zheng Shanguo's words made everyone's heads explode.
Zheng Fengchi was dumbfounded.'I'm just a grass-roots businessman. When did I become a descendant of the Zheng family of Xingyang? Was this also arranged by the King of Zhao?'
He had made a huge profit!
King Zhao, I, Zheng Fengchi, worship you so much that I prostrate myself on the ground!
Li Yuanjing felt a little embarrassed when he felt the adoring gaze from Mogul Zheng. He had an idea, but he didn't expect it to work.
As expected, it was the power of his brain's brilliance and his skill, the "Crossing Technique".
Li Shi Min was shocked, but after hearing Zheng Shan Guo's words, he instantly understood what the King of Zhao was thinking.
An idea popped up in his mind.
This kid was too monstrous!
By connecting Zheng Fengchi and the Zheng family of Xingyang, both sides benefited in the end.
Actually, it should be the three parties who benefited. Zheng Fengchi and Zheng Shanguo would be grateful to the King of Zhao.
Sigh, why don't I have this brain?
Li Shi Min looked regretful.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the King of Zhao is even more powerful than you were back then.”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth and said,
"It's fine. I can suppress this little demon!”
