Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Short of money?

Zhou Zheng's current pressing concern did not seem to be a big problem to Su Ming.

"Whatever your Highness needs, just ask."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but I have enough money!"

Su Ming sat down again, without much fluctuation on his face.

As one of the great families on Friday, he has been in business for generations, and the wealth he has accumulated is by no means a small amount.

As long as Zhou Zheng can speak, he can give it!

"How big a leader can you be, Chief Su?"

Seeing Su Ming speak, Zhou Zheng also showed a hint of joy on his face.

Then he rubbed his hands together and his eyes shone with light.

"How big a lord?!"

"I am the patriarch of the Su family. How much control do you think I can have, Your Highness?"

Zhou Zheng's question made Su Ming a little unhappy that someone dared to question the authority of his clan leader.

The five major families all practice the patriarchal system. Although each major family has a council of elders and a think tank, the patriarch has absolute authority and can completely overcome the opinions of everyone.

This is also the reason why Su Ming dares to boast so much.

"Why don't you, Chief Su, lend me ten million taels of silver temporarily?"

Seeing that Su Ming was so cheerful, Zhou Zheng stopped being polite and directly asked for ten million taels of silver.

According to Zhou Zheng's budget, these ten million taels of silver were enough to last him until the Northern Expedition to Daxia.

By that time, the salt and paper mills should have been put into normal operation, and funds had basically been mobilized.

Of course, the premise is that Zhou Zheng cannot use these ten million taels of silver indiscriminately.

what! ?

Ten million taels of silver! ?

Although Su Ming had already thought about asking Zhou Zheng to speak loudly, and was even mentally prepared, but when he heard Zhou Zheng personally say ten million taels of silver, he was not calm at all.

He jumped up from the chair, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked uneasy and frightened!

He stared at Zhou Zheng, wanting to see if Zhou Zheng was talking nonsense, but Zhou Zheng's eyes were sincere and sincere, not fake at all.

"Clan Chief Su, ten million taels of silver is already a relatively conservative figure."

Seeing Su Ming's reaction, Zhou Zheng could only smile.

It seems that I, a cheap father-in-law, am not as rich as I imagined.

"Your Highness, do you know how much these ten million taels of silver are!?"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Su Ming asked Zhou Zheng tremblingly.

Ten million taels of silver can be piled into a small mountain.

Today, except for the national treasury, who would keep so much silver at home? ?

The most important thing was that Su Ming couldn't figure out what Zhou Zheng wanted to do with ten million taels of silver.

Could it be a rebellion! ?

After all, ten million taels of silver were enough to assemble a huge army.

"I am dissatisfied with the Su clan leader. The imperial court does not intend to contribute a cent to the Northern Expedition."

"In addition, Xiang County is full of waste and is in need of development. There are places to spend money everywhere."

Zhou Zheng didn't hide anything, and the scene was full of bitterness.

However, at this time, Su Ming no longer cared about the content of Zhou Zheng's words, but his heart kept twitching.

Just now, he had promised that Zhou Zheng would not have to worry about money.

As a result, now he is slapped in the face,

"If Patriarch Su really can't do anything, I won't embarrass the Su family."

"I'll look back and see if I can think of other ways."

Zhou Zheng sighed on the side, and then sat on his seat with a depressed look on his face, without saying a word.

Seeing Zhou Zheng like this, Su Ming became even more worried.

If even his Su family couldn't come up with the money, where would Zhou Zheng find a solution? ?

You know, the person sitting in front of you is not just His Highness, but also Su Xun'er's man, his son-in-law Su Ming.

Thinking of this, Su Ming felt a pang in his heart: "Don't worry, Your Highness, our Su family will definitely give you the ten million."

"However, this is a huge number after all, and I need to give you some time."

The Su family naturally has ten million taels of silver.

But what Zhou Zheng wants is money, not assets.

According to the current situation of the Su family, it is not difficult to come up with six million taels of silver in one go. As for the other four million taels, they need to be scraped together through merchants across the country.

If that doesn't work, some assets will have to be sold.

Of course, ten million taels of silver is not enough to make the Su family exhausted and unable to recover.

But within a short period of time, his vitality was severely damaged.

"When I go back, I have to find some proper reasons to convince some of those old people."

With a bitter smile, Su Ming knew that although he could afford the money, he would still have to do a lot of work in the future.

"In this case, boy, thank you to the clan leader!"

After receiving Su Ming's assurance, Zhou Zheng stood up on the spot and bowed deeply to Su Ming!

This time it was not a demand on the stage, but from the heart.

After all, the current ten million taels of silver are really a timely help, a timely rain, and a life-saving thing.

With ten million, Zhou Zheng can solve many things easily.

There is no way out after the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village!

"I just hope that no matter what happens in the future, you will treat Xun'er well."

Su Ming forced a smile, this was the only request he could make.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will not make Xun'er suffer."

Zhou Zheng also hurriedly patted his chest in assurance.

"Just ten million taels of silver will definitely have a great impact on the Su family."

"But the Su family must not be dragged down by these ten million taels of silver."

When Zhou Zheng said this, his expression became serious.

"Don't worry, the Su family has built up a solid foundation over the years and won't fall down so easily."

Su Ming spoke slowly.

But he was also full of hesitation in his heart.

In the current situation, these ten million taels of silver may really drag the Su family into the quagmire.

If it weren't for the relationship between Zhou Zheng and Su Xun'er, it would be absolutely impossible for Su Ming to make such a decision.

After all, the Yin family, Ji family and Han family are now dissatisfied with the Su family.

Once it is known that the Su family and Zhou Zheng are getting closer, it is very likely that the three major families will form an alliance to take action against the Su family.

It is not impossible for the Su family's property to be swallowed up by then.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

But Su Ming also had no choice.

Because of Su Xun'er, no matter what choice the Su family makes, the three major families will definitely take action against the Su family secretly.

Even the royal family's attitude towards the Su family will change.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and Su Xun'er's existence will always spread.

This may be the fate of the Su family.

This is also the fate of the Su family.

"What if the Su family takes over most of Xiangjun's business?"

Zhou Zheng saw Su Ming's worry at a glance, and then spoke casually.

"What do you mean, Your Highness!?"

Su Ming raised his eyebrows, and there was a strange fluctuation in Su Ming's eyes.

"Although Xiang County is not big, it still has a population of millions."

"Although people are not rich, they still need to consume."

"If most of the business of the Yin family, Ji family and Han family in Xiang County is handed over to the Su family, I wonder if the Su family can take over it!?"

Zhou Zheng's words made Su Ming's heart beat faster!

So, what a perfect opportunity!
