Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 183

  Chapter 183 Compromise

  The documents look like a dozen pages in total.

  Due to the lack of time, Xu Yuanfu had time to have someone transcribe this document.

  The fonts on each page of the document are different, but they all correspond to the important industries of Wanxiang Sect in an important prefecture and county in Xizezhou.

   These things were gathered temporarily by the Black Scale Guards from various places at noon today.

  The situation of each prefecture and county was divided into several major categories according to Xu Yuan's requirements, and under these major categories, many sub-categories were subdivided into sub-categories.

   It is not complicated at first glance.

  From the agricultural farms and mines facing ordinary people, to the Goulan of wine shops in the city, to large-scale chambers of commerce or banks, there is even a column in the general catalog that includes the unique array pattern technology of the Wanxiang sect.

   In silence,

  The Sovereign of Vientiane and the Great Elder roughly browsed through the list.

  Looking at each other, both of them saw a trace of sullenness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

  This list covers 70% of the properties of Wanxiang Sect in Xizezhou, and more than 90% of the list is in a state of profit.

   Taking a deep breath, the Sovereign of Vientiane quickly said in a deep voice:

   "My lord, the properties on this list are far more than 90 million."

  Xu Yuan interrupted him halfway through hearing it, polished his nails, and said casually:

"Don't worry, I know that the value of your industries is far more than the total amount of compensation you want. Isn't this too tight? It has been more than half a month since the incident in Shengshan County. The industries on this list are only things we are interested in. You promise first, there will be special personnel to talk with you about the details of the discount."

   "." The suzerain of Vientiane was silent.

  The meaning in the other party's words is very clear,

   Don't make up the numbers with junk assets that are losing money, we've got it all figured out.

  While the senior officials in Vientiane were passing the buck to each other like headless chickens, the Xiangguo Mansion had already begun to make these minor preparations.

   In silence,

  The Sovereign of Vientiane and the Great Elder stood up almost at the same time, and the Great Elder cupped his hands:

   "My lord, this matter is very important, we need to go back to the sect."

  Although they are the suzerain and the great elder, they have no right to make such an amount.

  Because many properties on this list belong to other families in the clan.

"sure."

  Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, signaling casually, and then instructed Xu Xinyao who was behind him under the eyes of the two of them:

   "Xiao He, come, clean up the dregs of this crystal body."

  The meaning is very clear, you can discuss it casually, but I have to remind you that the Black Scale Army will attack the city in two quarters of an hour.

  Hearing this, the Great Elder frowned sharply:

   "Young Master, can you give us some time?"

  Xu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly:

   "Elder, there is no joke in the army. Although I am willing to do such things as changing the order from day to day, I will not accept the foreign military order."

   Did not speak any more, saluted one after another, and the two old men took Zhou Xiaohe's body out of the Xuanyin Pavilion, and turned into two afterimages and galloped towards the depths of the mountain gate.

  Seeing the figures of the two disappeared from sight, Xu Yuan sighed and threw himself into the soft couch behind him, and told Xu Xinyao who was beside him:

   "Go and inform the people in front that we will go directly to Dongcheng by detour."

"What?"

  Xu Xinyao spoke for the first time at this time, and asked with some hesitation: "Aren't we... waiting for them here?"

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

   "There is no need for us to stay here. If they agree, they will naturally go to the East City to find us. If they don't agree. We stay here and wait for death."

   After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan waved his hand at Xu Xinyao:

   "Go."

  Xu Xinyao was silent for a while, bowed her body, turned around and walked out of the wing.

  Looking at Xu Xinyao's slim back, Xu Yuan suddenly said:

   "Xinyao, have you seen the ugliness of the sect clearly now?"

  Xu Xinyao's body froze slightly.

  Xu Yuan laughed: "Okay, you don't need to answer, as long as you have the answer in your heart."

   After finishing speaking, Xu Xinyao walked out of the attic in silence.

  When the door of the wing room was closed, Xu Yuan felt that the soft couch beside him had sunk a little, and the enchanting fragrance of flowers came again.

   Lou Ji's two jade legs are intertwined, her legs are crossed, her jade feet are half leaking, and her high-heeled lotus boots are flickering:

   "Chang Tian, ​​do you think they will agree?"

  Xu Yuan sniffed the fragrance of flowers, smiled lightly and replied:

   "Of course I will, and 90 million will not shake their foundation. Even if someone wants to die, other people in their sect will not agree."

  Lou Ji smiled when she heard the words, and played with her slender and sharp nails with downcast eyes:

   "You have considered it quite thoroughly, but Changtian, you were giving Yuan Hao an order just now~"

   Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the old aunt, and smiled slightly:

   "Sister, are you worried that Yuan Hao won't obey orders?"

  Lou Ji nodded and said with a smile:

   "That guy will most likely be impatient with your orders. To Yuan Hao, the current Vientiane City is like a stripped courtesan to an impatient pervert~"

  Xu Yuan shook his head:

   "Although that guy Yuan Hao is a bit crazy, he still has a lot of experience in war. Even if he is ordered, he has to wait until the follow-up reinforcements enter the city. No matter how urgent he is, it will take two quarters of an hour."

Speaking of which,

   Xu Yuan grinned:

   "And, am I not ready to go to Dongcheng?"

  Lou Ji narrowed her phoenix eyes:

   "So, what you said just now was to scare those two old men?"

  Xu Yuan was silent for a while, and sighed:

   "Not quite, but if war can be avoided it's better to be avoided."

   "Is it because you can't bear it?" Lou Ji asked with interest.

  Xu Yuan didn't speak immediately, and gently rubbed his knuckles. After a while, he shook his head:

   "It is unnecessary to say these things, but there are also reasons for this."

  When Lou Ji heard the words, she raised her hand and touched his head softly, and said softly:

   "Chang Tian is really kind."

  Xu Yuan snorted and stared at his hand with lowered eyes, his voice could not detect emotion:

"No, the more important reason why I don't want to do it is because the benefits of doing so will be very low. Our plan is implemented so quickly largely because of mental arithmetic and unintentional. The Wanxiang sect's desperate resistance will destroy everything. Casualties will increase.

   "Even if they win, Vientiane City will be completely turned into battlefield ruins, and the treasury in their mountain gate will most likely be burned down by them.

"and,

   "Even if there is a legitimate reason, the destruction of the Wanxiang Sect will affect the attitude of the sects in the world towards us, otherwise it will make them relax their vigilance."

   Say it,

  Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, looked sideways, but found that Lou Ji was staring at him without blinking:

   "Why, did I say something wrong?"

  Lou Ji's beautiful eyes are curved with two crescent moons:

   "Chang Tian, ​​you really have become handsome."

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:

   "Can you see my face even with a mask?"

   "Of course my sister refers to your behavior."

   Lou Ji said quietly, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Chang Tian, ​​why do you have to kill the suzerain's daughter?"

   "To make the suzerain feel the pain." Xu Yuan replied directly without thinking.

  Lou Ji nodded in agreement:

   "It's a reason, sister, I'm also quite annoyed by his name."

  Xu Yuan heard that his eyes were a little strange.

   Lou Ji pinched him resentfully:

   "Why, although my sister is a bit vicious, she still has a conscience~"

   Ah yes yes yes.

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart.

  Lou Ji snorted softly, curled up a strand of temple hair with her slender fingers, put it on her fingertips and curled it, and there was a flash of reminiscence in her eyes:

   "My sister used to be a pariah in these sect gates, isn't it strange to feel unhappy?"

  Xu Yuan understood clearly after hearing the words: "It's not surprising."

  The next moment,

  Lou Ji suddenly approached Xu Yuan, stared at him and said with a smile: "But for you, Chang Tian, ​​this reason is not enough."

   After being silent for a while, Xu Yuan still said truthfully:

   "I know that Zhou Xiaohe."

   Lou Ji understood Xu Yuan's intention in an instant, after all, he was doing intelligence.

   Kill the mouth.

   But looking at Xu Yuan's expression, she was very understanding and did not speak.

  Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and whispered:

   "She and another person met Ran Qingmo and me in Shengshan County. Although she didn't recognize our real identities, she could recognize us anytime with our identities."

   "Good job." Lou Ji praised.

  Xu Yuan exhaled, looked in the direction of Shengshan County, noncommittal:

   "In order to save the people, the two of them traveled thousands of miles to Shengshan County to help the frontier army kill demons, but now, she made the right choice."

   Lou Ji raised her hand and pulled Xu Yuan's head over her shoulder, stroked his hair, and said softly:

   "Chang Tian, ​​don't think so much, your eldest brother and your father have done a good job, if they have different positions, they should be killed, and if they don't kill them, they will kill you in turn."

  Speaking, Lou Ji paused and said softly:

   "Come on, tell my sister the name of another person."

"died."

  Xu Yuan said softly: "That man is a fool. He couldn't accept what his sect did. He insisted on going outside Shengshan County to kill demons to make amends. It was just in time for the tide of monsters. He has probably died in battle now."

   Speaking of this, Xu Yuan sighed:

   "The belief in Xinyao's heart is most likely due to the existence of these people."

  Lou Ji raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, she didn't speak, she didn't ask questions, she just gently stroked Xu Yuan's head in her arms, but she had silently remembered this person in her heart.

  The Day of the Dead, very good, very admirable.

  But for Chang Tian's safety, she had to confirm that this person had died under the tide of monsters.

  Vientiane Sect, the main hall of discussion.

  After the list was briefly circulated, the Vientiane executives immediately exploded.

  Although the neck has begun to ooze blood, this does not affect their unwillingness to give up their own interests.

  The Vientiane Sovereign and the Great Elder watched in silence, cursing and discussing below.

   "Ninety million taels? They are trying to destroy the foundation of my Wanxiang sect!"

   "Sovereign, even if he wins a complete war with my Wanxiang Sect, he will not get any benefits from the Xiangguo Palace! Let's fight! The Xiangguo Palace will not dare!"

"I think we can consider negotiating, but it needs to be paid in installments. Part of the properties on this list can be handed over. Those industries that are needed for the lives of the untouchables can be given to them, but the important industries such as monsters, array patterns, and medicinal materials must not be given to them." They, if given, will shake our foundation."

   "What do you mean?! The agricultural and sideline equipment industry is our family, why don't you say hand over the monster industry?!"

"Monster beasts? You are ashamed to mention that this is the foundation of the sect. If there are no large-scale monster beast breeding grounds, the demon business association will directly lose its supply, and the income of the sect will be greatly affected! Not to mention that we need military reorganization Army, you also saw those flying monsters that attacked today."

   "The time is only a quarter of an hour, do you still want to argue?!"

  The Vientiane Sovereign shouted, his gloomy gaze swept across the people below, and then landed on the fifth son Xia Wenlin, his tone slowed down:

   "Old fifth, what do you think of this matter?"

  Xia Wenlin had been listening silently just now, and when he heard the words, he got up and bowed to the elders, and said quickly:

  “Try to keep the industry as much as possible. These assets are chickens that can lay eggs.”

"I just did some calculations in my mind. The Zongmen's accumulated cash for so many years should be in the tens of millions, and it may actually be a little more. If you put it all together, you should barely be able to come up with about 20 million taels. It's still about 70 million taels away from 90 million."

  Wanxiang sect has existed for thousands of years and has gained a lot of benefits, but it also costs a lot.

  After all, practice is the most resource-consuming, and the welfare of the disciples of the sect is excellent.

  Speaking of this, Xia Wenlin bowed his hands:

   "My Xia family is willing to donate one million taels to help the sect tide over the difficulties."

   The words fell silent.

   Donate money?

   Donate farts.

  The faces of the Vientiane Sovereign and the Great Elder suddenly became gloomy when they saw the silent crowd.

  The people below are all at the helm of the aristocratic family. Except for those who are handed over to the sect, these people usually enjoy the benefits.

   But now that things are coming to an end, they have already sensed that many people below are starting to make small plans to escape.

  For a while,

  The Great Elder spoke:

   "If the sect doesn't exist, those properties will be the fat in the mouths of other sects and aristocratic families. The Nie family will donate three million taels."

  The Sovereign also spoke:

   "Everyone, please think carefully. My Zhou family will also donate three million taels."

  Hearing what the two leaders said, although they were very reluctant, the elders below also donated some silver more or less.

  After Xia Wenlin listened carefully, he let out a long breath:

   "Now that we have collected 40 million taels, we need to set aside part of it as a spare. The cash cannot be cut off. Once broken, many industries will not be able to operate."

   "How much to keep?" Vientiane Sovereign asked in a deep voice.

  Xia Wenlin didn't speak, but looked at He Jigu who was opposite:

   "I'm not in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, I have to ask Elder He and them about this matter."

  Although fighting for power and profit, He Jigu still has two brushes in business. He summed up a little in his heart and quickly replied:

   "Considering the need to mortgage part of the property, the impact of these gaps must be at least tens of millions."

  Hearing this, Xia Wenlin then asked:

   "Elder He, 60 million taels is roughly equivalent to how much property is my clan?"

  He Ji pondered for a moment, then replied:

   "According to the market price, about 30% and 30% of the property will be lost. Although our sect's vitality has been greatly injured, it will not shake its foundation. The Xiangguo Mansion is sure that we will not be killed because of this matter."

  Xia Wenlin heaved a long sigh when he heard this:

   "It is useless to talk about this matter now. The purpose of the Xiangguo government's industrial development must be to enter Xizezhou. They will definitely intervene in industries such as banks and chambers of commerce. We have to make preparations in advance."

  He Jigu raised his eyebrows:

   "Asset Transfer?"

  Xia Wenlin shook his head, and pointed to the directory on the table:

   "The Xiangguo Mansion can find out these things, it must have been prepared a long time ago, and the small trick of transferring assets is naturally impossible, but we can make a fuss about the shopkeepers at the bottom.

   "Also, we have to dispose of the building materials of the Ghost Slayer Array as soon as possible, and we have to get the person who was captured alive, otherwise we can only be controlled by others forever."

   Say it,

  Xia Wenlin bowed his hands towards the suzerain of Vientiane:

   "Sovereign, our situation has become like this now, we need to be prepared for the impact, and I will give you a detailed plan later."

   A few minutes late
