Chapter 401 Xi Jian who is short of money
Xi Xuan was even more suspicious. In her impression, this was the first time that her father had poured out bitterness to her. She unconsciously glanced at Xi Jian with a bitter look on his face. The whole text... What kind of person is Xi Jian? He is a tall man.
The female Xi Xuan certainly doesn’t know that Xi Xuan
Jian was unscrupulous in his actions, ruthless and decisive, but good at saving time and sizing up situations. When he thought about the inexplicable inquiry he had asked him about the current situation of Waguan Temple before, he couldn't help but make some guesses in his heart, so he asked: "Aweng, do you have any questions?"
What do you want to say?"
"Hey~~!" Xi Jian sighed and continued to pour out his bitterness: "According to the agreement with General Yun, my father got half of the Jingzhou navy. It was supposed to be a good thing, but it was also a big burden! My father always had money on hand.
We are not well-off, but now we have to
After worrying about food and drink for more than 10,000 sailors, look at it, the maintenance of warships is also a huge expense. Even if the mansion is sold, it will only be a drop in the bucket. Where does this money come from? Thinking of this, I often
I can’t sleep!”
Xi Xuan felt a sense of vigilance in her heart and said calmly: "Father needs money? I still have some savings on hand, although it is not much. If father needs it urgently, he can take it first."
"Oh?" Xi Jian's eyes flashed with joy, and then he shook his head: "It's rare that Xuan'er has this kind of intention, but how can being a father make you rich? Wouldn't it make people laugh if it spread? What's more, Xizhi has not yet taken charge.
The family is probably very tight on money, so you might as well keep it, so that if something happens to you two, you won't be at a loss."
"Huh?" Xi Xuan was startled. Could it be that he thought wrong? Then he asked out of habit: "Then, father, how should you raise food and salary?"
Xi Jian frowned and walked back and forth in the pavilion with his hands behind his back. There was a faint look of struggle on his face, and suddenly, he paused, as if he had made an embarrassing decision, and turned around and said: "General Yun, this is
He left for three to five years and would not return. My father wanted to temporarily borrow the money, food, cloth and silk from Waguan Temple. It was just a temporary loan to tide over this period of difficulties. All of it would be returned within three years, Xuan'er said.
How about next?"
Xi Xuan's uneasiness finally turned into reality. His father set his sights on Waguan Temple! Uncontrollably, a feeling of disappointment surged into his heart.
Suppressing her expression, Xi Xuan refuted: "Father, you also know. Waguan Temple belongs to General Yun, not my daughter. My daughter only has his trust to help run the business. How can I give it to my father?"
Use it? What’s more, if you take it privately, how can you go to see Mr. Zhong, Sister Guan Niang, and the sisters staying at Waguan Temple? Then again, what should I do with my daughter when General Yun returns?"
Xi Jian waved his hand and said: "This matter is indeed embarrassing for you. It's not that I don't know it, but isn't this an expedient measure? Don't worry, my father will not repay you. I will never teach you how to be a difficult person! I want to come to Zhong.
I think some of your close friends will be considerate...it's not right. As a father, why don't you go back to the old road of robbing, murdering and traveling?"
After saying that, he looked at Xi Xuan and saw that she still lowered her head and said nothing. Xi Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I won't hide it from you as a father. Su Jun came to visit a while ago and hinted that he could help solve the money shortage.
It's just that I'm worried that this person has other agendas, so I haven't made a decision for the moment. That's all, if I don't teach you to be in trouble, just go to Liyang tomorrow to ask Su Jun for help!"
"Ah, no!" Xi Xuan quickly stopped: "Ah, have you made any plans for the future? Su Jun is General Yun's mortal enemy. In the future, everyone will kill him. How can you accept Su Jun's money?
Stay out of the matter? If there is a conflict between them, what should my daughter and Mr. Zhong do? In other words, you and Su Jun
Can I defeat General Yun with just one hand? By the way, General Yun once promised that 50% of the income from Waguan Temple's property will go to my daughter and all the sisters. If it doesn't work out, I'm willing to give my share to you, Aweng.
Aweng, you must not accept Su Jun's money and lead our Gaoping Xi family to a dead end!"
"It won't work this way, that won't work either! Could it be that as a father, I can only become a robber?" Xi Jiantu roared loudly. It was obvious that the heavy financial pressure had made him lose control.
The loud sound startled Wang Xi, and he no longer cared about watching the big white goose. He ran over quickly and asked repeatedly: "Uncle, why are you so angry? Xuan'er, have you made uncle angry?"
"Hey~~!" Xi Xuan sighed quietly, shook his head and said: "Young Master Zhong, my father has encountered some difficulties, and he is inevitably anxious..." Then, he told Xi Jian's situation in full.
After roaring, the depression accumulated in Xi Jian's heart was slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "My father's sudden loss of attitude has frightened you two. Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now, let's think about it again.
Just do it."
Xi Xuan took over and advised: "The person in the court who is most opposed to General Yun is none other than Wen Shizhong, but you see, now he has shown a posture of leaning towards General Yun. Obviously, Wen Shizhong saw that General Yun was sweeping
The power of the world is thinking about the future, but what about you? In the future, when General Yun goes to the capital, will you disarm and return to the fields or support your troops to fight?
?The farewell scene today really shocked my little girl. You must have felt it too? Haha~~ The hearts of the people of Jiankang have passed into the hands of General Yun. To put it bluntly, the day for Sima's move out of the palace has been determined.
You can wait. Ah Weng, please listen to my little girl’s advice. It’s better to give up the navy and hand it over to Xie Shang, so that you can get rid of this burden.”
Xi Jian frowned and muttered: "Actually, my father has not thought about it. If General Yun really takes advantage of the wind and thunder to conquer the capital for the second time, and if it is too powerful, my father can only offer military power with both hands, and use General Yun to
As a human being, and through this relationship with Mr. Zhong, I expected that Xi would not treat me badly.
Shi. But neither Shi Le nor Shi Hu are easy to deal with. What if we give up the navy but General Yun cannot pacify the north? Now the situation in the court is unpredictable. Supporting troops and self-respect is really the only way to protect the court!
If you don’t have enough strength in your hands, wouldn’t it mean that everyone is a knife and you are a fish?”
"This..." Xi Xuan was startled and couldn't help but turn to Wang Xizhi for help. Xi Jian's worries were not unreasonable. Although Yunfeng was victorious in every battle, his opponents were Shi Le and Shi Hu, so it was hard to say
It is very likely that no one can do anything to the other in a stalemate. If Liu Shi cannot be destroyed, how can we seize the Sima family?
Wang Xizhi took his time and said: "My uncle is right. Xizhi has an idea. There are still many empty beaches along the Haimen coast. My uncle might as well lead people to dig and build salt fields and use the income from selling salt to maintain the operation of the navy."
, it is expected that there will be a surplus, I wonder what my uncle will do?"
Xi Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, but he hesitated and said: "Is there something wrong with this? If my father digs and builds salt fields, will it have an impact on you and Xie Shang?"
"Hey!" Xi Xuan was in a good mood. Her father showed signs of softening, so she no longer worried about whether there would be conflicts with Yun Feng in the future. She immediately chuckled: "Ah, there may be some influence, but it won't be too big.
, This is also a sign of filial piety from Mr. Zhong, so please don’t ignore it.”
Wang Xizhi also persuaded: "Yes, uncle, we are all one family, so why should we be different from each other?"
