Chapter 1276 Su Jinpa's Methods <<<
If someone else heard this, they would at least be half-scared out of their wits.
However, if it were someone else, they wouldn't agree to let him reform the harem and participate in politics just like that.
Su Jinpa dared to say it because she knew Li Chen wouldn't take it seriously.
Li Chen dared to ask, it was also because he knew Su Jinpa had no interest in this at all.
Even when she heard Li Chen's words, Su Jinpa only let out a light hum and said, "I don't like it. This time, if you hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have wanted to get involved."
Li Chen smiled and asked, "In your opinion, how likely are they to surrender?"
Su Jinpa immediately said, "The possibility of surrender is very high, but whether we can raise ten million taels of silver depends on Nangong Shouzhong. This man not only has the most wealth, but more importantly, his status is beyond compare. If he takes the lead, others will immediately follow suit."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"What if we can't make enough?" Su Jinpa asked.
Before they began, she had asked Li Chen about his plans for dealing with various possibilities, but she hadn't asked what he would do if the situation wasn't met.
Li Chen paused for a moment, then said faintly, "Kill them all."
Su Jinpa's face darkened. Before, even if they didn't contribute money, Li Chen had never shown any murderous intent.
After a cup of tea, Su Jinping returned to Taishan Pavilion.
Upon seeing Su Jinpa return, Nangong Shouchong was about to speak when he saw Su Jinpa wave his hand to stop him.
"Mr. Xu."
Su Jinpa looked at Xu Changqing and said lightly, "Please go there in person and have them write down the amount of national bonds they are willing to subscribe. Then you keep it safe. In this way, only the subscribers and the imperial court will know the number, and it will avoid unnecessary trouble."
Su Jinpa's move completely took everyone by surprise.
While some ill-intentioned individuals were caught off guard, others who had suffered losses in the recent discussions became more cunning.
Especially Nangong Shouzhong, he clenched his fists tightly, feeling that the East Palace's methods were pressing step by step, leaving him no time to respond.
Especially this sudden move left Nangong Shouchong feeling very surprised and troubled.
All the elaborate preparations he had made beforehand were completely ruined by this move.
Before Nangong Shouchong could even think of a countermeasure, Xu Changqing had already responded with a nod. Behind him, a young eunuch carrying writing implements followed and came before the wealthy men.
The first person Xu Changqing faced was that Jin merchant who had tried to bribe Xiaozi.
"Mr. Yang, your restaurant chain is all over the capital region, and especially Zui Xian Lou's qiongjiang lu is unparalleled. This official had the good fortune to taste it once and has been impressed ever since, so for this first one, you go ahead."
Mr. Yang smiled wryly upon hearing this, bowed to Xu Changqing, then took up a brush and wrote down the figure he had prepared in his heart on the ready paper. He then set down his brush and stepped aside, remaining silent.
Xu Changqing took the paper and came to Cao Kun's side, saying calmly, "Cao Boss, as the number one shipping magnate in China, you shouldn't be too stingy, right?"
Cao Kun's face turned ashen.
In previous discussions, he took advantage of the background of his martial arts sect to gain an upper hand.
The share given out is very small.
But now, everything is dark. No matter how powerful he is, he can't match the might of the court, so he has to make a huge sacrifice.
