Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Wei Zhe couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath. He had expected that Xiao Jie would open his mouth like a lion, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jie's asking price would be so ruthless.

Although many aristocratic families own tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land (one hectare is 10,000 mu), which family does not have tens of thousands or even [-]+ clansmen and servants to support, and land is the largest source of income for aristocratic families. These fields, I am afraid that so many mouths will have to drink the northwest wind. It can be said that the land is the lifeblood and foundation of their aristocratic family.

Moreover, although the aristocratic family has a lot of land, it is also the result of the accumulation of generations of ancestors for hundreds of years. If it is rashly handed over to others, it will not only make the clan cast aside, but also shameless to see the ancestors under the nine springs after death.

But now it's man for the knife and I for the fish. Wei Zhe didn't reject Xiao Jie directly, but just sighed and said: "Nowadays everyone says that His Highness is about to enter the East Palace. If His Highness will really be able to obtain the Great Treasure in the future, the so-called universal Next, is it the king's land, the shore of the land, or the king's ministers, every inch of Daning's territory will belong to His Highness, why should His Highness be in such a hurry to force us so hard."

Although Wei Zhe spoke pitifully and complimented Xiao Jie secretly, Xiao Jie secretly sneered in his heart, can field and territory be the same concept?

Xiao Jie raised his eyebrows, his face darkened, and he was no longer polite: "Wei Shangshuling kept saying that I was forced to do so, but don't forget, why did this matter happen? If you hadn't plotted against the Tao family and threatened Tao Zhi went to steal the plates and seals from the Tao family bank, trying to deal with me in vain, so what happened today?"

"It was you who were going to deal with me back then. You even killed my concubine's uncle and cousin, causing Tao Lu, the head of the Tao family, to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Now that the bones of Tao Zhi and his son are still alive, it is you who want to reconcile with me. Since you want to If you want to reconcile, you have to show sincerity, don't think about a flimsy apology to just smile away the grudge, you must know that you have to pay the price for doing something wrong."

"If your Wei family thinks that my request is too much, you can refuse to agree to it. It depends on how this matter will end in the future. I would like to know, once this matter gets to the emperor, how much of your good land can be kept by your family? From time to time, let the people of the world see the strength and integrity of your Wei family."

As far as this is concerned, the two sides have torn off the last fig leaf, but Wei Zhe couldn't get angry at all. Instead, he saw that Xiao Jie was a little angry, so he had no choice but to get up and leave the couch, and bowed his hands to Xiao Jie Apologize: "Your Highness, please calm down, the old man made a slip of the tongue."

Xiao Jie just looked at Wei Zhe coldly, without saying a word.

At this time, Wei Zhe was almost regretful. It was his son who kept telling him that if he wanted to prevent Xiao Jie from entering the East Palace, he had to find a way to seize his weakness, and his weakness was the Tao family.

Because for the fact that the Tao family supported Xiao Jie at all costs, in fact, many members of the Tao family complained in private, among them was Tao Lu's son Tao Zhi, and Tao Zhi still had a worry-free person. His son, Tao Wang, was able to use Tao Wang to make Tao Lu and Tao Zhi father and son turn against each other through a small trick, and then coerced and lured Tao Zhi to steal the Tao family's plates and seals, so as to print a large number of fake bank notes to disturb the Tao family. The reputation of the money bank, in turn, caused panic and run-off among the people and businessmen, thus completely destroying the Tao family, thus depriving Xiao Jie of the greatest financial support.

At that time, Wei Zhe was also dissatisfied with Xiao Jie because of Zhou Jun's death, and even more worried about the fate of their aristocratic family after Xiao Jie ascended the throne in the future, so he agreed to his son Wei Tao's plan.

But no one expected that they had worked hard to plan the layout for a long time, and they were about to succeed, but they were easily resolved by Xiao Jie's move, which made them fail.

What's more serious, I don't know how Xiao Jie knew that this was done by them, so he launched a counterattack against them, using the wine brewing case of the Yang family's children to trigger a run on Shengtai Bank, and then shut them down to the six great families of Zhonghe and Heluo Drag them into the water together.

If he had known this would be the result, Wei Zhe would never have agreed to his son's initiative to provoke Xiao Jie.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, and what Wei Zhe can do now is to find ways to reach a settlement with Xiao Jie as soon as possible, so that their family can retreat from the quagmire of Shengtai Qianzhuang as soon as possible.

Up to now, Wei Zhe could only weigh it in his heart, and then slowly said: "The land is left to all descendants by the ancestors, even if I am the head of the family, I dare not dispose of it at will, otherwise it will inevitably provoke criticism from the tribe. It will not be easy to explain to the ancestors after a hundred years."

"We can exchange 700 million taels of cash for Your Highness, and then use some shops in the capital to get 300 million taels. As for the rest, I can transfer the property under my personal name to Your Highness. I wonder what His Highness thinks?"

Xiao Jie knew that these aristocratic families valued land more than anything else. If they really handed over millions of acres of land to him, I am afraid that these aristocratic families would fall apart.

However, he didn't want to agree to their conditions so readily. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I don't want the shop anymore. You give me 700 million taels of cash, and the rest will be converted into cash at the price of ten taels of silver per mu." Good land, but I only want the land in Sili Prefecture, this is my last concession, if you still can't agree, let's stop our conversation here."

Wei Zhe couldn't hear the threat in Xiao Jie's tone, but the matter has come to this point, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and said helplessly: "Although our Wei family can't agree to your Highness for the other five families. plan, but the old man is willing to try to convince a few Patriarchs."

Having said that, Xiao Jie knew in his heart that the gentry in Guanzhong and Heluo were all headed by Jingzhao Wei, since Wei Zhe was willing to agree to him, he would not dare to make trouble with the other families if he wanted to.

Seeing Wei Zhe's melancholy face, Xiao Jie couldn't help smiling, and said meaningfully: "I know that the Wei family lost so many fields at once, and Wei Shangshu made me feel uncomfortable, but maybe one day in the future, your Wei family will Find yourself luckier than most families."

Wei Zhe smiled bitterly, thinking that Xiao Jie was comforting him, but he also secretly wondered what use it would be for a prince like Xiao Jie to want so many fields.

You must know that it is five or six thousand hectares of fertile land. Many times, the entire family of a first-class family does not have so many fields.

Wei Zhe didn't want to delve into this issue, but he felt that he still expressed his position on behalf of the Wei family on some matters: "Your Highness's magnanimity makes this old man really ashamed. Here, I can assure His Highness that from now on, our Wei family will I will never be an enemy of His Highness again."

Xiao Jie took a deep look at Wei Zhe, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I will remember Wei Shangshuling's words. I was able to settle the old feud with the Li family in Longxi, and now I can also release the past with you Jingzhao Wei. The grievances have been wiped out, but I hope Wei Shangshuling and the Wei clan can keep their promise to me today, otherwise, if you break your promise to me and become my enemy again, you should know what the consequences will be. From now on, if there is no Jingzhao Webster in the world, the entire family in Guanzhong and Heluo will be uprooted."

Wei Zhe heard the meaning of warning in Xiao Jie's words, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and nodded heavily: "Your Highness, just rest assured, the Wei family has the strength and integrity of the Wei family, and they have always established themselves in the world with faith, so naturally they will do what they say. If any of the Wei family dares to harm His Highness again, even if His Highness doesn't say anything, my Wei family will punish him severely."

Xiao Jie finally showed a rare smile on his face.

In any case, it is more meaningful to make friends with an enemy than to completely eliminate an enemy.
