Ye Li suddenly realized that Zhang million had made a lot of money yesterday, and the people in the mansion were afraid that he might get in the way of the master's eyes, so that he could not be upset.
Ye Li said with a smile: "it's impolite. Diligence and frugality are always good things."
The housekeeper had a wry smile. It's good to be industrious and thrifty, but with the wealth of Zhangjia and its position in Nanjing, they are often ridiculed for it, and they are used to it for a long time.
Zhang wanwan has been waiting in the hall with his wife and daughter. Looking at Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang, Ye Li suddenly has a deeper understanding of Zhang's stinginess. Because he was injured, Zhang wanwan's face was still a little pale, but when he saw Ye Li come in, he was full of smiles and was very attentive. "Master Chu is coming. I can't go out to meet him far away. Please forgive me."
Ye Li arched his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is very kind. I have met his wife, Miss Zhang."
Zhang million was very happy to his daughter and said, "Pearl, I haven't seen Master Chu soon."
Miss Zhang was very timid and stepped forward in small steps. Yingying said, "Pearl has seen Master Chu." At the sight of this young lady, Ye Li can finally understand why master Lin was so strange when he mentioned Zhang Baiwan's daughter.
To be sure, Miss Zhang is not ugly. Although it is not the most beautiful woman, she should also be a beautiful lady. But this young lady's actually gives people a very strange feeling, that stare at people's eyes, even if calm as Ye Li, can't help but have a feeling of sweating secretly. Leaf glass corner of the eye pulled, inadvertently back a step, "Miss Zhang is polite." Then he put his eyes on the next one, and vowed not to look at Miss Zhang again.
Miss Zhang can't help but feel aggrieved when she sees Ye Li not looking at herself. Zhang wanwan looked at Ye Li and then his daughter. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said to Ye Li with a smile: "Young Master Chu, why don't we join in first?"
Ye Li said with a smile, "Master Zhang, please."
Because only Ye Li was invited to dinner, Master Zhang took Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang to the table together. The banquet was not very rich, but it was not disrespectful. It seems that although Master Zhang is stingy, he doesn't know the situation. After Ye Li sat down first, Miss Zhang just sat beside her, which made Ye Li's body stiff again.
"Master Chu, pearl will pour you wine." Miss Zhang picked up the wine pot and eagerly wanted to pour wine for Ye Li. Ye Li had to thank him, sighed and went straight to the topic with Master Zhang. If master Zhang really said that he planned to marry her daughter, it would be ugly. "Master Zhang, in fact, I'm going to visit today. I want to discuss some business with him."
Master Zhang was stunned and said with a smile, "what's the matter? Why don't we have a meal?"
Ye Li said faintly: "if it's about the one million Dan grain that master Zhang donated to Li Wang yesterday?"
Zhang Baiwan's face suddenly sank. As long as he thought of the one million Dan grain, he was bleeding in his heart.
"What do you want to talk about?" Zhang wanwan looked at Ye Li in doubt, and Ye Li asked with a smile, "I don't know if it's convenient to talk here?" Zhang million hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at his wife and daughter and said, "madam, take Pearl down first. I have something to talk to Mr. Chu." Mrs. Zhang is just an ordinary lady in the boudoir. She just takes her husband as her God and doesn't know anything about business. I had to pull Miss Zhang, who was not willing to go down.
"I don't know what childe Chu wants to talk to me about?" Asked Zhang.
Ye Li said with a smile: "yesterday, Master Zhang donated 1 million Dan grain to the king Li. But as far as I know, the king of Li sent at least 800000 troops this time. Even if everything goes well, you can promise the Mohist army in the shortest time, and it will take at least half a year between coming and going. During this period, at least 3 million Dan of military food is needed. And this is the most conservative estimate. Mr. Zhang thinks that Is it possible that the palace of Li will win in half a year? "
Zhang million some vigilant stare at him way: "childe, what does this mean?"
Ye Li said with a smile: "I have another news. This time However, the imperial court did not transfer much grain from the granaries around the country. Because The drought in Xiling this year is not good, and the situation in Beirong is not so good. It must be that master Zhang knows something about grain business. As early as a month ago, the court sold a large part of the grain that had just been put into storage to Xiling. So, this conservative estimate of 3 million Dan In the end, I'm afraid it will have to be borne by Master Zhang and the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. "
Hearing this, Zhang wanwan turned black and said, "King li King Li is trying to bring down my family. " The donation of one million Dan has greatly damaged the vitality of Zhangjia. If all the military grain is to be borne by Zhangjiakou, Zhangjia is afraid that it will be finished. What's more, Zhangjia can't raise so much food for a moment and a half. When the crime of delaying the military plane comes down, he will still have to head down. Sure enough Li Wang didn't intend to let him go from the beginning.
"Not only that, but To be honest, I can affirm that this battle can not be finished in a year and a half. At that time, Zhang Jia… " Zhang wanwan looked at Ye Li and said, "the young master of Chu is just trying to scare the old man." Zhang wanwan is also a shrewd businessman. Naturally, he knows that Ye Li can't give him these things to play with.Ye Li drooped his eyes and said faintly, "I really have a way to help master Zhang, but I don't know if he is willing to do it?"
"Please save me, Master Chu." Zhang wanwan is busy.
Ye Li handed out an envelope with a smile. After seeing it at a glance, Ye Li said, "you Mr. Chu, are you… " Ye Li said with a smile: "my surname is Chu, Chu family He is related to the Xu family by marriage. "
Zhang Baiwan knew it clearly, and his face was changeable. After a long time, he asked, "can you be the master of Chu?"
Ye Li smilingly takes a token from his sleeve and puts it on the table. Zhang wanwan stares at the murderous fixed character on the token made of black jade. Although he has not seen the token of dingwangfu, he really doesn't think that anyone in the world dares to imitate the token of dingwangfu. And The Chu family and the Xu family are indeed related by marriage. With the Xu family's position in Licheng, the possibility of such an outstanding talent to serve in the king's residence is much higher than that of the long journey to the south of the Yangtze River to join the Li palace.
"What do you think of Mr. Zhang?" Ye Li asked.
"If I don't agree. What is the plan of Mr. Chu? " Asked Zhang.
Ye Li said calmly, "please let Master Zhang forget today's affairs." Zhang wanwan said in a deep voice, "I have to think about it." Ye Li was not wordy. He got up and said, "in that case, I'll leave first."
Zhang wanwan looked at Ye Li and said with some luck: "in fact, if Master Chu can promise me a request, I can reply to you now." Looking at Zhang wanwan's satisfied and expectant eyes, Ye Li turned his eyes and said, "excuse me, Master Zhang. In fact, I'm also for It's just running errands. If master Zhang has any request, I can convey it for me, but if it's related to me, I'm afraid it's Please forgive me, Master Zhang. "
