At noon, the Zhongshan Wangfu held a banquet to entertain Chang Yu and his party again, and Xu Hongji invited some of the guests who were all nobles in Nanjing, of course, not as many as yesterday.

These core figures are the military advisor Liu Kongzhi, the sworn friend Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi, Tang Guozuo and others.

As the first nobleman in Nanjing, Xu Hongji is very particular about the wine and food that entertains Chang Yu, all of which are treasures, and even prepared six kinds of tea, which can be said to be sincere and sincere, and Chang Yu is also unusual, first laughing with everyone in the garden in the Guogong Mansion, and when he heard that Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi and others arrived, they also personally appeared to greet each other, which surprised the two, and then they were even more speechless, because Chang Yu looked at the injuries on the two of them, and he lost his memory and asked: "What's wrong with the two?" ”

was bitten by a dog, Zhao Zhilong scolded so secretly in his heart, but there was a wry smile on his face: "I was drunk and fell ...... last night" Zhu Guobi fell out of bed in his sleep...... The crowd in the lobby was harmonious and chatting.

When the guests arrived at Xu Hongji to invite Chang Yu to sit in the main seat, Chang Yu shirked a few times and let Chang Yanling sit, which made everyone feel a little inexplicable, and Chang Yanling seemed to take it for granted, which made everyone even more surprised, whether it was in terms of identity or qualifications, this seat was not something he could sit, but then what was even more dumbfounded was that the little eunuch beckoned the Taoist priest who had been standing outside the lobby to the table, you must know that the lowest status here is a marquis, a wild Taoist is actually ......

Well, there is something to do today, don't be disturbed by these things, everyone can't help but be curious.

"The first time I got involved in your place, I should have visited one by one, but I couldn't get away from official business, so my family will use tea instead of wine here to accompany you, and when you have time to make up for it one by one in the future," Chang Yu raised his glass and said such an opening sentence at the opening table, the bigwigs present are all adults, and they are also extremely mature, and they are very mature and polite, and they raise their glasses and drink them all, and yesterday's events are as if they never happened.

"At present, the thief army is approaching Nanjing, and the top priority is to suppress the thieves and quell the chaos, but at this time, the imperial court is not able to catch it, and I hope that all the armies will work together to help our family break the thieves and solve the danger of Nanjing and the thieves' rebellion" Chang Yu's second sentence went straight to the topic, he came to Nanjing not to play in the mountains and rivers, there was not so much time to waste, yesterday he had knocked on the door and entered the courtyard, today he either did something, or did people.

"Grandpa Guo, you are the head of Nanjing, you open your mouth first"

There is not so much polite nonsense, and there is no tyranny and domineering yesterday, the little eunuch holds the teacup in his hand and has a straight posture and a calm face, which makes everyone look a little nervous, is this still the same person last night?

Chang Yanling was the only person at the banquet with a smile on his face, and he admired this junior of the clan who was suddenly sent to the door, seemingly moody, but in fact they were all in his calculations, and all the nobles in the entire Nanjing City were usually arrogant and arrogant, but they were led by his nose at this time.

Relieve anger and have fun!

Xu Hongji had actually discussed with those nobles last night, if he didn't want to fight with him and lose both, then he had to have some blood, but the little eunuch couldn't be satisfied with the lion's mouth open.

Therefore, today's discussion is not whether there is bleeding or not, but how much is appropriate.

"The Duke of Wei has the most powerful imperial grace, and now the national disaster is the first to set an example, 100,000 silver, 10,000 stone grain The Duke of Wei is out." Xu Hongji coughed lightly and said slowly, Chang Yu gently stroked the palm at the corner of his mouth: "Don't lose the King of Zhongshan, be bold!" ”

"Father-in-law Chang, I haven't finished talking yet", Xu Hongji continued with a solemn expression: "The Wei State Mansion has a great cause, to be honest, there is not much pressure to come out with this money and food, but not everyone is like this, some of them can respond to the call to donate, but those who don't will not let them smash the pot and sell iron."

It turned out to be interceding for others, Chang Yu smiled, stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked up at Chang Yanling: "Master Chang, did you get this money and food?" Chang Yanling smiled slightly: "The matter of eating the monarch and being loyal to the monarch, since the imperial court has opened its mouth in the face of national disaster, it has also made up for smashing pots and selling iron."

Hey, isn't this a slap in the face, as soon as Chang Yanling's words came out, Xu Hongji and the others' faces turned blue and white for a while, and they secretly scolded in their hearts, Chang Yanling has little contact with them on weekdays, but at this time, he fell into the well......

Chang Yu smiled even more happily, and looked at Zhu Guobi again: "What about Hou Ye Zhu, you won't say that you can't make up enough" Without waiting for Zhu Guobi to speak, he smiled lightly: "I heard that the year before last, Hou Ye spent a lot of money to hug the beauty, but he was not bad at all in the Qinglou Restaurant."

Belch...... Zhu Guobi looked left and right, and finally gritted his teeth: "What Chang Hou Ye said is right, the national disaster is also made up of those who smash the pot and sell iron" At this time, he knew that it was better to cut the meat than to be forced to squeeze out a little bit, at least it would be refreshing to have a good reputation.

Chang Yu looked at Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao again, and several people hung their heads and were silent, so they sighed: "You ask yourself how much is this 100,000 taels of silver?" Can't you really take it out, our family is in charge of the East Factory for half a year, but the oil and water in our hands are more than 100,000 taels, which of you here is not a century-old foundation, you really can't take out such a little silver? After more than 100 years of imperial grace, I want to be glorious and rich, but now that the national disaster is in the face of a national crisis, is it really so difficult and reluctant? Do you really have to wait until the thief army breaks the city and will watch the family ruin before you are willing, or do you want to admit the thief as the master at that time, and dare to ask what face you will have to see your ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years, this Ming world is all fought by them together! ”

"When the national disaster is at the head, we don't dare to be the queen, and as the Marquis Chang said, smash the pot and sell iron to do our duty for the country!" Liu Kongzhi and Zhao Zhilong still sat still when they heard this, at this time, they really had no money to respond, and they couldn't lose their face.

Wonderful! Chang Yanling was so excited that he almost got up in the case, Chang Yu sang red-faced yesterday, threatened and intimidated and even hurt people, but today he directly played the bitter card! One red, one white, one tight and one loose, these dignitaries who wanted to face were instantly unable to resist.

Xu Hongji sighed secretly, this little eunuch has a good mouth.

"Maybe every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but our family hopes that everything at this juncture will focus on the overall situation, work together to overcome the current difficulties, and our family will not force people too much, so ......" Chang Yu said and stretched out a finger: "A fixed price, a million taels of silver, 100,000 stones of grain and grass, no matter how you divide it, even if you are looking for a rich family in the city to raise donations to borrow, that is your business, as long as our family sees the silver and grain and grass in three days, we will thank you for the imperial court for the emperor" Chang Yu got up and picked up the teacup, and everyone quickly stood up and drank it all with him.

There are more than 100,000 nobles in Nanjing City, but one person is only 100,000 or even less than 100,000, the little eunuch is giving a discount, and he also said that he can find a rich family to raise donations, which is a discount, so he readily agreed.

Finally negotiated, although Xu Hongji and the others were a little unwilling in their hearts, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't talk about heavy bleeding after tacitly calculating, after all, it was only tens of thousands of taels of silver per person, and none of them had a few rich families attached to them, so if they donated some to spread it evenly on them, there would be even less.

It seems that the little eunuch did give in, as Liu Kongzhi expected, and didn't want to tear his face with them and fight to the death, as the old saying goes, it is good to be a man and leave a line to see each other in the future, and at this time they have also made some changes to Chang Yu, such as being more straightforward and sincere, he did not shy away from saying that the oil and water he handled was no less than 100,000, which was much more real than those who boasted of having a clean breeze on their sleeves.

Perhaps after solving this matter, Chang Yu also felt happy, and even picked up the wine and drank three glasses in a row to show his gratitude.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet became hotter, and Xu Hongji struck while the iron was hot: "Chang Gonggong's strategy of retreating from the enemy can be said to be listened to with us at this time."
