Zhao Yiming was actually just doing a last-ditch attack. Sun Xiuli showed extraordinary skill in this matter. Her philosophy has always been different from others.
When others design a certain plan and win over a certain force, they basically start from the top down and rarely take into account the feelings of the people at the bottom.
But she is the opposite of others. She works completely from the bottom up. It can be said that it involves all aspects. In the eyes of others, this is useless work. If the upper management does not agree, all the investment will be in vain.
But she had a different idea. Even if it failed from the bottom up, she had invested so much, and it might not be impossible for those at the lower level to capture their hearts.
For any force, no matter how well you do at the top, the final executor will still be the bottom. If the bottom doesn't give you a job, you can only watch from there.
Especially since she has nailed so many nails, if she really becomes a hostile force in the future, if the people below suddenly rebel, the top will only be a castle in the air, and they can do whatever they want to you.
Just like this time, she is trying to win over the big shopkeeper of Huijiang. What is more important than her own son? If any problem does happen, at least this part will be in her hands, and at worst, she can pass on a piece of information. !
Moreover, Cheng Xian's two daughters-in-law were both members of the Ming Cult. If the two sides really became hostile, it would be impossible for Wanbao Pavilion to trust him. The first step would be to get rid of him. Everyone has the desire to survive. Not everyone is the kind of stupid and loyal fool. Is there any need to say what you will choose when the time comes?
After this matter was settled, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became much closer, because she had recognized these four maids as her sisters, and her status had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zhao Yiming ordered: "Shopkeeper Cheng has prepared a gift for me. I am going to visit the Prince Regent's Mansion tonight and I must not lose face."
Cheng Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, Wanbao Pavilion has nothing but lots of stuff. I will definitely not disappoint you, uncle."
It was night soon, and Zhao Yiming and his wife, with only a few entourage, headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wu Wenyang has been waiting here for a long time. He is accompanied by a beautiful woman, his wife Hong Baixue. As her name suggests, this woman has skin like snow.
Seeing Zhao Yiming and the others arriving from a distance, the couple immediately greeted them. Wu Wenyang said with a smile, "My father-in-law and Mr. Atifan are already waiting for you two."
Zhao Yiming smiled slightly and said, "I am really flattered to have Brother Wu come out to greet me."
Several people were talking and laughing, and soon came to the hall, where they saw Hong Zhihui and Atifan sitting there, seeming to be talking about something.
Hong Zhihui laughed and said: "Master Zhao's visit really makes my place shine. Please take a seat."
Zhao Yiming said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty the Regent is too polite. This time we, husband and wife, are here, firstly to catch up with you, and secondly, to discuss some matters with you."
Atifan said with a smile: "Then the leader should ask the regent. His Majesty the Emperor seldom cares about things, and almost all matters are completely decided by him."
Hong Zhihui waved his hand casually and said, "Your Majesty trusts me. Naturally, I will do my best and die. I wonder why Master Zhao came here this time?"
Zhao Yiming smiled coldly. It seemed that the other party was pretending to be confused, but it didn't matter. Anyway, the initiative rested with him. It didn't matter if he said it first or later.
He nodded to Sun Xiuli, who smiled and said: "You two adults must also know that my husband exchanged the land of Changling for the Yixiantian Canyon and the land of a hundred miles at the mouth of the valley.
To be honest, if it weren't for my previous identity, my husband wouldn't have suffered so much. That canyon is of little use to us, so we just want to do a business with you. "
Hong Zhihui and Atifan looked at each other. There have been rumors outside that Zhao Yiming's trip to the Starry Empire was because the eldest princess Sun Xiuli had a falling out with the entire royal family. He had to use the bonus he had won to transfer the eldest princess to the Empire. The princess was redeemed.
At this time, I heard Sun Xiuli say this, and her tone was full of evil. It seemed that this matter was not groundless. Even if there were some discrepancies, it was basically the same.
Otherwise, how could Sun Xiuli, who had been working hard for the Starry Empire for so many years, give up such an important strategic location as the Yixiantian Canyon, which opened the door to the hinterland of the Starry Empire.
You must know that what they will get is not only this canyon, but also hundreds of miles of land at the mouth of the canyon. Although the land does not seem to be much, it is more than enough to set up a military camp.
Although the Starry Empire is building a group of fortresses, as long as they have a bridgehead, they can march straight in if there are any changes in the Starry Empire.
Atifan touched his mustache and said, "Then I don't know what this matter has to do with us. Could it be that we are required to help build the Yixiantian Canyon?"
Sun Xiuli smiled sweetly and said: "Master Atifan is asking the question knowingly. We are very sincere. It is meaningless for you to do this. Don't you know what we want to do?"
Atifan nodded and said: "But if you only use this line of Sky Canyon and a hundred miles of land at the mouth of the valley to exchange for the tens of thousands of miles of land opposite your famous city, the bargaining chip is too small."
Zhao Yiming and Zhao Yiming were overjoyed. Originally they just wanted to exchange for thousands of miles of land, but they didn't expect that the other party's bottom line was actually tens of thousands of miles. This is really great.
When Atifan saw the joy flashing in the eyes of the two people, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He had overestimated their appetite. The price quoted for this land of tens of thousands of miles was too high. He really wanted to slap him in the face. This was really unsatisfactory. .
Sun Xiuli said with a smile: "What Mr. Atifan said is wrong, Yixiantian Canyon is definitely a strategic location, just like a steel knife on your neck.
And the tens of thousands of miles of land in front of us is just a barren place, and we still have to invest in construction, which is also very expensive.
And adults, don’t forget that our Mingjiao is one of the four major national-protecting sects, which means that although the land is allocated to us, it still belongs to the Huijiang Kingdom in name. "
Atifan rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense, but as far as I know, you don't seem to be planning to perform your duties at all. How can you be regarded as a sect that protects the country?"
Zhao Yiming coughed lightly and said, "This is what I said when I decided to do it. As long as we don't betray openly, no one, including His Majesty himself, can interfere in our affairs."
