"Mr. Xu, some words that cannot be said too clearly. It would be bad if you understand too much. I wonder if you are interested in listening to me tell a story." Qin Mu said.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of it if you have nothing to say. Where can you come from so much nonsense?" Xu Donghai said impatiently.

"Haha, I'm here to help your Xu family. Your attitude is not very good." Qin Mu said dissatisfiedly.

"Second, shut up."

After Xu Dongyi scolded Xu Donghai, he turned his head and looked at Qin Mu deeply, and said, "Then please ask Mr. Qin to tell us this story."

"This story happened in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. There was a scholar-official in Chu called Chen Wanqian. His family monopolized the entire iron ore business of Chu. His family was as rich as a country. However, Chen Wanqian was not satisfied with this, so he focused on another profitable industry fabric business. In less than a year, Chen Wanqian quickly monopolized the entire Chu country's fabric business with its strong capital."

"In just three years, the Shen family's wealth has exceeded that of the Chu State's treasury. One day, the Chu State wanted to build the city wall of the capital, but the treasury could not afford so much money. So a minister suggested that Shen Wanqian fund half of the cost. Shen Wanqian was willing to contribute to the Chu State and take out one-third of the wealth to build the capital of Chu State."

"The King of Chu was very happy. He appointed the officials of Chen Wanqian's two sons and also promoted the officials of Chen Wanqian's family. The entire Shen family was very happy. The banquet was held for three days. On the third day, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed into Chen Wanqian's house and captured all the Shen family and all the people attending the banquet. All the family wealth was not included in the national treasury."

"In less than three days, the King of Chu ordered the destruction of the nine tribes of the Shen family. This made Chen Wanqian unable to understand. He did not commit the crime of rebellion and paid for the construction of the capital. The King of Chu also rewarded his family. Why did he destroy his nine tribes in a blink of an eye?"

"Why did the King of Chu kill Chen Wanqian? Is he a meritorious person?" Xu Donghai was fascinated by the story, and could not remember his hostility to Qin Mu, so he asked curiously.

"Haha, this is also something that Chen Wanqian couldn't understand, so he wrote a letter to the King of Chu, hoping to tell him the reason and let him die in peace."

"The night before Shen Wanqian was executed, the King of Chu sent someone to reply to Chen Wanqian. When Chen Wanqian opened the letter, he understood why he was destroyed by the Chu State. Chen Wanqian regretted it. Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world. The entire Shen family was wiped out, and all the vendors who had business dealings with the Shen family were confiscated. The family's wealth was confiscated."

"Young Master Qin, can you tell us what was written in the letter of King Chu?" Xu Dongliang asked, and Xu Dongliang vaguely heard the meaning of Qin Mu's words.

"All under the world is the king's land; a shore of the earth is the king's minister; if you are rich, you can compete with a country, but if you are not dead, how can the king govern the country..." Qin Mu said.

"What does the story you told have to do with our Xu family?" Xu Dongyi asked in confusion.

"Don't you understand yet? Your Xu family is now rich enough to rival a country. If you monopolize the fabric business from the north and south, then you will not be rich enough to compete with a country?"

Qin Mu looked at Xu Dongyi with a smile and said, "Some things that cannot be said too clearly, and if they explain them clearly, there is no meaning."

When Qin Mu was studying history, he found a very strange phenomenon, that is, there were corrupt officials in all dynasties, and each of them was corrupt, which was said to be rich enough to rival a country. Even if there were wise emperors, there were several such corrupt officials under him.

Qin Mu was very confused at the time. Did this emperor be stupid? Don’t you know how many such big borers are under him?

Later, Qin Mu checked the final outcomes of these corrupt officials from all dynasties. They basically confiscated their homes and destroyed their clans, solving the financial urgent needs of all dynasties.

This made Qin Mu very doubt whether these corrupt officials were deliberately letting go of the emperors of all dynasties. After all, as a monarch, if he took away the wealth and ointment of the people, his reputation would be unpleasant. Emperors of all dynasties wanted to be remembered for generations, but not for those who had been infamous for thousands of years.

Let the corrupt officials below collect the wealth and ointment of the people. When it is almost done, they will kill these corrupt officials, confiscate their property, enrich the treasury, and leave a good reputation for themselves in killing corrupt officials and rectifying the officials.

I have to say that those who can be emperors in all dynasties have all been powerful characters and are very smart.

"What do you mean is the court going to attack our Xu family?" Xu Dongyi looked at Qin Mu in disbelief and asked.

"Sir, I didn't say that."

Qin Mu said, after all, Qin Mu didn't know whether the court wanted to deal with the Xu family in Jinling. These were just what Qin Mu used to scare the Xu family.

"You Tao is that the bystanders are clear and the authorities are confused. Mr. Qin, can you analyze it for us?" said one of the two middle-aged people who had been sitting in the living room without speaking.

This person is called Xu Dongwang. He is the leader of the Xu family's side clan. He has been dealing with the family affairs of the Xu family's side clan. He was not going to speak out, but he just listened to Qin Mu's intentions. If the Xu family might be punished, it would be a big crime to destroy the nine clans. This is an amazing thing. You must know that the Xu family's side clan is also within the nine clans.

"Haha, since you want me to talk, I'll talk. Now our Qin Dynasty is not very peaceful. There are the Huns eyeing each other in the north, and the disasters in the northwest and rebellion. These are all wars. This war costs money. But our Mu family heard that the court seems to have little money, and the national treasury is empty?" Qin Mu said.

"What does the emptiness of the national treasury have to do with our Xu family?" Xu Donghai asked in confusion.

"It doesn't matter whether it's up to you and me, it's up to the court to decide. Originally, your Xu family was the richest man in Jiangnan, and the richest man in the Qin Dynasty was Prince Yu in the capital. However, once the Xu family and our Mu family jointly operated and opened up the fabric market from the north and south, the richest man in the world will be your Xu family, which will be really famous all over the world, haha." Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Young Master Qin, what do you mean?"

Xu Dongliang began to sweat coldly on his forehead. If it were really as Mr. Qin said, the Xu family would be in danger.

"I don't know if you have heard of it. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." Qin Mu said after taking a sip of tea.

"People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong? What does it mean?" Xu Dongyi asked inexplicably. After all, there was no such statement in the Qin Dynasty.

"If the pig is raised, you have to kill the meat eater. Is this person? What does it mean, I don't have to say anything."

Qin Mu said that he didn't continue here, and it would be meaningless if he continued to continue. Let the Xu family understand it by themselves, and it would be more effective than what he said.

"What do you mean is that the court will attack our Xu family?" Xu Dongliang asked.

"Didn't I just say it? I don't know. By the way, I came here to talk about the joint venture with your Xu family. I don't know what your Xu family masters have to do."

Qin Mu said that if the Xu family still wants to join forces with the Mu family after being intimidated by him, Qin Mu can only admire the courage of the Xu family.

"Forget about the joint venture matter."

Xu Dongyi thought about it and said, after all, what Qin Mu said makes sense. Once the fabric market between the north and the south is opened, the Xu family will soon become the richest family in the world. This is really a search for death. Whether it is the current emperor, the court or the people of the royal family, they will not want to see that the Xu family is as wealthy as the country. At that time, it will be as great as Qin Mu said, and a disaster will come.

"Since that's the case, I'll have nothing to say goodbye."

Qin Mu stood up and said, his goal had been achieved. Qin Mu didn't want to stay in the Xu family for too long. Why did he say that he was not familiar with the Xu family and had no topics to talk about? It would be better to go back early to take a shower and sleep.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin, you should sit down first. We still have a few questions and need to ask you for advice."

When Xu Dongyi saw Qin Mu leaving, he quickly said. At this time, Xu Dongyi did not dare to be a high-ranking official. After all, after Qin Mu said this, Xu Dongyi was very uneasy. If it were as Qin Mu said, the Xu family would be really over. This was related to the life and death of the entire family, and there would be no mistake at all.

"But it's really getting late. If I go back late, my second uncle will be anxious."

Qin Mu said with a embarrassed look, but he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would just fool him gently, which scared the Xu family.

However, Qin Mu was not aimless. If the Xu family really had a joint venture with the Mu family, they would soon become the richest man in the Qin Dynasty. Although the Xu family had a prominent family, compared with the entire Qin Dynasty, the Xu family could only be considered a second-rate family. A second-rate family became the richest family in the Qin Dynasty. If you think about the consequences, you will know what will happen.

"It's okay, butler Liu, you send someone to Mr. Mu's house and tell Mr. Mu that our Xu family will host Mr. Qin in the evening, and Mr. Qin will not go back in the evening. By the way, we will prepare a table of good dishes in the kitchen. Today we will not be drunk with Mr. Qin."

Xu Dongyi said to the middle-aged man who had been sitting in the living room without saying anything. Sometimes, I have to admire these officials, who change their faces as quickly as reading.

"Yes, Master Second, I'll go and prepare now." After Butler Liu said that, he left the living room and made arrangements.

"Mr. Xu, you are too polite." Qin Mu said with a embarrassed look on his face.

"It should be, if Mr. Qin hadn't come to tell us this, our Xu family would have really been like the Shen Wanqian in your story, and we would never know how he died." Xu Dongyi said.

"Actually, Lord Xu, you just didn't expect it for a while. I think I just won't come, and your Xu family will also realize this problem." Qin Mu said.

"Young Master Qin, now we know there may be a way to save it. If it is too late, it may be that I will be powerless."

Xu Dongliang said, if it weren't for this matter, Mr. Qin, who gave me some advice, would he never realize this problem. Those who have made great contributions to the Lord will die, and those who are rich enough to compete with the country, would there be a good end? Xu Dongliang is afraid to think about it now.
