Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 601 I need you to help me ask you for money
  Seeing Mr. Changping smiling so brightly, Gu Xun couldn't help but feel happier. He grinned and said:
  "It shouldn't be a big deal. Just some time ago, I was ambushed by a peasant in the Chu Kingdom. So I would like to ask if the imperial court should respond to the peasants' attack on me, the national advisor?"

In order to emphasize the seriousness of the situation, Gu Xun also added, "Although the farmers failed to succeed in that ambush, I also suffered a lot of losses and was frightened."

"By the way, the cause of this attack was the death of the six former masters of the Nong Family. You must know that the six of them tried to assassinate me while Lao Ai was in trouble. It is difficult to say that there is no conspiracy hidden in it. The two of them cannot say There must be some secret connection."

"There have been problems several times. I feel that the court cannot turn a blind eye to the farmers."

"..."

"..."

Chang Ping-kun's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't hold it anymore. However, considering that he must not reveal any flaws in front of Gu Xun, he still used his superb acting skills to maintain his expression and hide the complicated emotions in his heart.

Chang Wenjun's smile was the same as his brother's. He also tried to hide the changes in his mental state, but his performance skills were not as deep as Changping Jun's, and he was slightly unnatural.

Fortunately, according to his observation, Gu Xun probably didn't notice this.

Although Mr. Changping didn't show any strange expression, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was the one who knew the situation best besides the person involved in the attack on the farmhouse.

So where did your loss come from? I was also frightened... So many disciples died in the farmhouse at once, and the scene almost reached the point of rivers of blood. Many of the disciples who were still alive later became mentally unstable. And you, the great master of the ancient world, continued to carry you with you as if nothing happened afterwards. Meiyouyou even had the time to go to the Mohist government city, and even instigated the Mohist giant Six Finger Black Man to help you blackmail the farmer!
  What frightened you? ?
  As for the nonsense that Gu Xun later made about the connection between the farm family and Lao Ai, let alone it. Changping Jun knew better than anyone why the master of the sixth hall of the farm family went to kill Gu Xun... This incident was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. From then on, Farmers began to collapse across the board.

But what makes Chang Pingjun most uncomfortable now is that Gu Xun specifically told him this. Is it just a coincidence...

After calming down his mind, Chang Ping-jun forced a smile, managed to calm down and said, "So this is what happened..."

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. How can we, the Qin Dynasty, sit back and watch our ministers being wantonly assassinated by Jianghu sects? After the news of the incident in Chu State came back to Xianyang, the king was immediately furious and ordered the clearing out of the peasant strongholds in the territory."

Speaking of this, Lord Changping showed an expression of embarrassment at the right time, "Master, you also know that the Nong family has one hundred thousand disciples and is the largest gang in the world. Even I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot defeat it completely. The suppression operation is only temporary." , farmers will always come back.”

"However, since the Imperial Master mentioned this matter to me, Qi cannot ignore it. When we return to the court meeting, I will make a suggestion to the king and request further suppression of the peasant family to vent the evil anger of the Imperial Master."

Gu Xun nodded understandingly, "In this case, there is no need for Mr. Changping to go out and speak to His Majesty. After all, although this kind of loss is painful for the farmer, it is only temporary, and for me... uh , it will be of no benefit to us, Da Qin, and it will be a waste of manpower and material resources."

"What does the Imperial Master mean?" Changping Jun felt a little uncomfortable and asked tentatively.

Gu Xun showed a wicked smile and replied with a smile, "Instead of simply seeking to vent bad anger, it is better to ask for something more practical."

Chang Pingjun couldn't hold back his smile again. Although the answer hadn't been revealed yet, he already basically understood the content.

Opposite Gu Xun, Chang Wenjun also continued to remain silent, trying his best to conceal his emotions.

"What about something more practical?"

"Money!" Gu Xun said without hesitation a word that Mr. Changping expected, "Instead of wasting money and food by arranging manpower to clear out farmers, it is better to collect reasonable compensation from farmers, and the money and debt will be cleared. Hello everyone. Let's get together and part ways." "Haha..." Mr. Chang Ping smiled reluctantly. This is not easy at all, and haven't you already hired the Six-Fingered Black Man to help you pass on the blackmail information?
  "It is very rare for the Imperial Master to treat this matter with such a pragmatic attitude, but asking for compensation... the imperial court is not suitable for it, so..."

At the end of his words, Xiong Qi showed a helpless expression.

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Why not?"

"Hasn't Qin ever asked for compensation from the defeated country before?"

"This...of course it exists." Xiong Qi replied in embarrassment, "But the peasant family...is different from the hostile country. I can't...nor can the imperial court demand compensation from the peasant family in the official name."

There is one more thing Xiong Qi left unmentioned, that is, even if the Qin State asks for compensation from the defeated enemy country, it will not ask for money by name, so it must be said tactfully.

"Really..." Gu Xun also touched his chin in embarrassment, and then showed a look of relief, "Then let's change the approach."

"What did the Imperial Master say?" Xiong Qi regretted that he had randomly sought out people to build relationships, but it was too late to regret at this time and could only continue to think of ways to deal with Gu Xun.

"Actually, I have asked someone to request compensation from the farmer before, but the other party is obviously not very willing. The quantity and speed are not satisfactory. Mr. Changping, you are well-connected and have many friends. I think you must have a way to negotiate with them." If you want to chat with the farmer for a few words, why don’t you help me put pressure on the farmer to pay them quickly and get more money at the same time.”

"Is this... like this?" Xiong Qi looked at Gu Xun, whose eyes were filled with golden light, and he was even more unsure whether the other person just happened to find him, or whether he had a deeper meaning.

"Well... I wonder if it would be convenient for the Imperial Master to tell me who you asked to go to the farmhouse to make the request, and what is the amount of compensation required?"

Although he already knew the answer, Xiong Qi still had to ask again.

Gu Xun didn't mind slowly acting out with the other party. He pretended to be serious and replied, "The person I'm asking for is the Six-fingered Black Man, the giant of the Mohist family. As for the amount of compensation... it's not much. The final deal was only 60,000 gold."

Sixty thousand gold... still nothing?
  Listening to Gu Xun's indifferent tone, as if 60,000 gold was just a small amount of money, Lord Changping understood a little bit why the tone of Tian Guang's letter to him was so sad and angry...

"Sixty thousand gold... This amount is not small. Imperial Master, even if it is our Great Qin treasury, it is extremely difficult for us to allocate such a sum of cash at once."

Gu Xun showed a very considerate expression, "Yes, I know this too, so I gave the farmer three months to raise money very leniently."

"...Ha." Mr. Changping was no longer too lazy to slander Gu Xun. He put aside his distracting thoughts and prepared to have a serious talk about the matter with the other party. "Even if it takes three months, it will be too difficult for the farmer." , whether they can collect 60,000 gold is a big question."

"National Master, it is even more impossible for you to want me to put pressure on the farmers to obtain more compensation."

　I have diarrhea, and I can barely stop it, but it’s too much, so I’m sorry.

　　I'll make up for it later, after I finish drinking the wedding wine.

　　Asking for leave for the next two days.
