The three-day period was fleeting, and outside the Chang'an Iron and Steel Plant, Sun Peng and Feng Gao stood outside the gate, quietly waiting for the people who were coming.

It wasn't until the third day of the day, when the scorching sun was in an irritable mood, that a carriage came from afar.

The carriage opened, and out of it came a young gentleman.

Sun Pengton was annoyed, and shouted in a deep voice: "What about Su Quan, why don't you see others?"

He had also seen Su Quan before, but he was a dignified man in his thirties wearing a jade-colored Confucian robe, and it was definitely impossible for him to be the young scholar in front of him in a cyan robe.

The corners of the scholar's mouth curled slightly, and he said loudly: "I am Su Lin, the nephew of Councilor Su. He has something to do today, so he asked me to come and visit. ”

"Oh?"

Sun Peng was suddenly vigilant and asked in a low voice, "Then please tell me, what is your answer?"

"You want to know?"

Su Lin chuckled, with inexplicable confidence on his face, his hands behind his back, but said, "We can't make a decision until we enter the steelmaking plant to see if those steelmaking equipment have been damaged." ”

Feng Gao was suspicious and felt a little scared: "What do you mean by entering the factory?"

"Me—what can I mean?"

Su Lin replied: "You also know that this steel mill is in your hands, and if I make a move and let you destroy this steel mill, it will be more than worth the loss." Isn't it?"

With a wave of his hand, four more wrestlers walked out of the carriage, each of whom was carrying a large box. When these wrestlers opened the box, thousands of silver lights bloomed, and it turned out to be pieces of silver bars that had been cast into strips.

"Here is ten thousand taels of silver, which was given to you first to ensure the safety of the steelworks. With so much silver taels, do you still have any doubts?" Su Lin smiled softly, and the four wrestlers lifted the box together and sent it to Sun Peng and Feng Gao.

Seeing so much money at first glance, Sun Peng couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but show a little greed.

"What do you mean by that?"

Although he was willing to accept it, Sun Peng still had a trace of clarity in his heart.

Feng Gao was also vigilant, wondering if the person in front of him had other thoughts, and also asked, "Have you forgotten our request to reduce your working hours?"

"Alas. Ever since my uncle saw the death of the third son, he couldn't sleep at night, sighing all day long, and feeling sorry for his lack of understanding of people in the past. That's why we've set aside these coins to compensate you. Surin explained slowly.

His statement is heartwarming, and those heavy silver bars also arouse the movement of the workers in the factory, and a pair of eyes swept over those silver bars, all of which are full of greed.

Wealth is touching, and it has been the same since ancient times.

It's just that Feng Gao listened, but he was even more puzzled, and continued to ask: "But what about the conditions we proposed?" Compared with these silver taels in front of him, he was more concerned about whether his conditions were accepted.

"Alas. ”

With another sigh, Su Lin shook his head helplessly, as if he had done his best: "We are also dealing with this matter, but you should also know that the owner of this steel plant is not alone, it is really difficult to do!"

The long sigh aroused Feng Gao's annoyance, and he directly refused with a flick of his long sleeves: "If you can't agree, then please go back." ”

"Go back?"

Su Lin was indifferent between his eyebrows, as if he had already known what Feng Gao meant, his eyes swept over those silver taels, and then asked, "What about these silver taels?"

"Of course, bring it back with you. Feng Gao replied undeniably.

"Take it back, it's too much, isn't it?"

Sun Peng also disagreed, his eyes had stayed on these silver taels, and he never left for a moment, he had never seen so much money in his life, and he was really attracted by its silver brilliance.

Feng Gao was angry for a while, and felt a little disappointed in Sun Peng in his heart, and scolded: "What's wrong? Have you forgotten who they got these taels of silver from? It's just 10,000 taels of silver, so you have become like this? You really disappointed me." ”

"Hmph. If it's according to what you said, could it be that you have pushed all this money away?" Sun Peng felt harsh when he heard this, and glanced at Feng Gao obliquely, but he felt that the righteous words of the person in front of him were a bit of an eyesore, and shouted: "We have worked hard day and night, isn't it all this money that we are asking for?

"That's right. If I had the money, I would be able to renovate my house. ”

"I'm 30 years old this year, and I can also take a daughter-in-law and live a good life. ”

"My son can go to school and not be huddled in this harsh environment like me. ”

“......”

The workers in the factory complained one after another, their eager eyes penetrating the walls, and all fell on the four large boxes of silver, and it was difficult to hide their desires in their eyes, and their mouths were also muttering, as if when this batch of money arrived, everything they had only seen in their dreams could be completely realized.

Su Lin looked at this scene and showed a chuckle, he had seen a lot of ugliness in the face of money, so he was already used to the performance of these people.

"Now tell me, what exactly are your options?"

The seductive voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Sun Peng couldn't restrain it, and immediately appealed: "Of course I accepted it." The workers behind them were all excited, and the roar sounded, revealing great joy, as if they had won at this moment.

Feng Gao didn't think so, his heart was full of anxiety, and he cast an angry look at Su Lin in the distance, and scolded in a low voice: "It seems that you are here, did you come on purpose?"

"Each other, each other. ”

Su Lin was very proud, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, and then asked: "By the way, since I have already sent these silver taels, can I enter the factory to see if the equipment in the factory is still functioning normally." Is that okay?"

"Absolutely. ”

Sun Peng replied with his head closed, since he had already received these silver taels, then he naturally had no reason to refuse the other party.

The former iron door slowly opened, and Su Lin slowly walked into it under the watchful eyes of many workers, the same scene as usual, there was no change, and there were even many more things.

Su Lin swept over the things on the iron shelf next to him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What is this?"

"Huh. Is this one? Of course, we just produced the gun. Sun Peng said with a smile.

According to Feng Gao's plan, they did not relax production after occupying the steel plant, and have been maintaining the operation of machinery in order to complete the ordnance production task delivered to the Huaxia Army.

Su Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes slightly showed a bit of hostility, and he continued to ask: "Gun, why are you producing this?"

"Of course, it's for delivery to the Huaxia Army. After all, this is an order that we undertake, and of course we must complete it on time and in quantity. Feng Gao interjected and replied, his eyes full of provocation, and said: "No matter what, we were also protected by the lord in the past, how can we delay the lord's long-cherished wish to unify China?"

Of course, the most important reason Feng Gao didn't say, that is, to have a connection with Huaxia Army in this way, so as not to block his only road, so that everyone in the factory can have a good future.

Su Lin thought for a while, nodded his head and said, "So that's the case? It seems that you are people with a heart, and you still care about the country?"

"That's nature. After all, all of this was given by the lord, and the reason why we can live here safely is also thanks to the help of the lord. Sun Peng's heart was full of gratitude.

Although he did this kind of almost rebellious thing because of his anger, it was only against power-savvy people like Su Quan and Wang Quanbin, but he respected Xiao Feng, Yang Chenglong, and even Xiao Jingmao as pioneers, and really regarded him as a bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

Su Lin laughed: "Ha." It seems that you have some kindness, but you remember the kindness of your lord. As soon as his voice turned, he blurted out the reproachful words: "In that case, then why do you do such a thing?" The current meaning is to faintly reprimand the two of them for not obeying Xiao Feng's instructions, and they have failed Xiao Feng's trust.

"It's not that you're deceiving people too much, and if not, how can you provoke us to resist?" Sun Peng's face flashed with anger, and he went straight over.

Feng Gao also looked at Su Lin with an unkind face, and said: "Under the sun, there are also shadows. Even though the Lord is incomparable, there are still things that cannot shine, but we believe that as long as we continue to persevere, we will one day let the Lord find out. ”

Being blocked by the two of them like this, Su Lin stupidly restrained the provocation and put himself between the two, although he wanted to avoid the eyes and ears and come up with some means, but he also suffered from no chance.

In desperation, he had no choice but to put down his posture and apologize: "This is my fault, please don't blame the two of you." After sweeping over the equipment, he couldn't hide his curiosity and asked, "It's just the two of you, aren't you tired if you follow like this?" And I see that those workers are working, aren't you afraid that they will do something wrong if you don't look at them?"

"No!"

Feng Gao shook his head and refused: "Others are responsible for other things, and I don't need to interfere." As for you?" He looked Su Lin up and down, and said with a smile: "Since you are the representative of the Su family, of course you need me to accompany you personally, if you have any doubts, I can answer them at any time, right?"

"Okay. ”

Su Lin was stunned, although he wanted to ask Sun Peng, but when he saw Sun Peng, he couldn't deny it, and he understood that the two of them had not disappeared from their wariness.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take a look at the situation of the entire factory accompanied by Feng Gao.

After reading it, Su Lin re-embarked on the carriage and prepared to leave this place, but after driving away, he lifted the curtain and looked at Feng Gao, as if to determine something, and asked: "By the way, your name is Feng Gao?"

"That's right. ”

Feng Gao was a little surprised, and opened his mouth to reply, "Do you still have something?"

"Nope. I'm just curious about you as a person. Surin smiled, then lowered the curtain and said to the groom, "Let's go." ”

With a "snap", the horse pulled the carriage and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Seeing Su Lin leaving, Feng Gao relaxed, but when he thought of the 10,000 taels of silver sent by the other party, he still felt a little apprehensive: "I thought that the other party would agree to our conditions, but I didn't expect to play the trick of killing three soldiers here?" For the 10,000 taels of silver, it seems that we must deal with it well, otherwise our uprising will only end in failure." ”

After leaving the steel mill, Surin also came to Su Mansion very quickly.

In the Su Mansion, Su Lan and Su Quan had been preparing for a long time, waiting for him to report.

"Did you deliver the 10,000 taels of silver?" Su Lan asked.

Su Lin replied: "Qiyu is young and has been delivered." At the mention of this, Su Lin was a little puzzled, and immediately asked: "It's just that the young master, why did you let me send them 10,000 taels of silver? You must know that this is 10,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount!"

"Ten thousand taels, do you think it's a lot?"

Su Lan disagreed, and complained: "Do you know that the annual remuneration I pay to those workers alone is 10,000 taels of silver. And if I agree to their terms, then the annual salary will be increased by at least 5,000 taels. Wouldn't it be nice to completely break up the opponent's resistance with a year's salary?"

As a capitalist, Su Lan doesn't know how to settle accounts, so he naturally knows which one is more and which one is less, and 10,000 taels of silver is indeed a lot, but when it is distributed to all the workers, it is only ten taels per person, that is

"And what was their reaction? And what was the situation in the steel mill?" Su Lan continued to ask.

Su Lin's heart tightened, and he explained what he saw and heard in the factory one by one, and there was nothing missing.

After hearing this, Su Quan's eyebrows furrowed, and he was a little angry: "Cousin, it seems that your plan has failed?"

Sending 10,000 taels of silver is Su Lan's attention, and its purpose is naturally to use money to attack the other party's unity, and then disintegrate the entire interior.

"Huh. Why are you so sure?" Su Lan smiled, as if he had a complete grasp.

Su Quan replied: "Isn't it? Although Feng Gao and Sun Peng have some gaps, they haven't made trouble because of this, haven't they?"

"It's true that the other side has exceeded my expectations. But there are thousands of workers in the factory, and even if the two of them can resist the temptation of money, how can they ensure that the others do not resent? These ten thousand taels of silver are but a seed, and it will take some time for it to sprout and grow, and how can it be seen in just one day?" It was difficult to hide the coldness at the corner of his mouth, and Su Lan showed his means as the head of the Su clan at this moment.

Although he was removed from his status as a member of parliament, his methods still existed, and they were still enough to make ordinary people fall for him.
