The second grandfather and all the uncles looked at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes. This girl would never disappoint us.

Zi Lan looked around and spoke calmly, "I'll make a guess. If you say something wrong, don't blame me for having little knowledge."

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here, there are no people guarding outside."

Uncle Fourth spoke.

"My grandfather was also victimized by the court disputes back then. Today, the opportunity the Song family got may not be the emperor's guilt and support, and gave the Song family some opportunities.

So I was thinking a little further. He still hoped that someone could break this situation, even if it was torn apart. Everyone knew that sea transportation would make money, and that you could give this opportunity to anyone, why give it to the Song family and my father this job?

Because the Yang family has always been loyal and played a stable role, the emperor trusted my grandfather, and the emperor felt a little guilty and uneasy about the incident back then.

Sanmo means that my father has enough abilities. He hopes that my father can have the talents of my grandfather. Maybe it is a hope. In the end, the Song family has always remained neutral and did not interfere with any faction. They have a neutral and objective position.

The Geng family came from Jiangnan and had been entrenched for many years. The emperor has always been dissatisfied with Jiangnan. Yanyin and taxation are the big ones, but they are not as much tax and silver as the other provinces. This is obvious.

For example, if my servants have eaten up all my profits and have to show off their power in front of me and deceive me, which head of the family thinks can tolerate such a thing?

The shipping matter is for the national treasury and for the people of the world. The emperor needs a new breakthrough and wants to do something and leave a name for himself in history. Therefore, even if the empress's mother's family is powerful, we cannot retreat.

We only have one way, we can only advance but not retreat. We must do this beautifully and give the emperor a perfect explanation. This is the way out for the Song family and prove that the Song family has excellent children and their abilities are not inferior to any family. It is a crisis and an opportunity."

Zi Lan talked about everything in her mind and the skills she learned over the years, without any selfishness.

"Well, you haven't learned it in vain for years, and we think so too, but how to resolve the current crisis? If we really want to fight the Geng family head-on, we are still a little weaker.

Let me tell you the truth, your grandfather’s death was related to the Geng family, and we found out that his family might still be the mastermind.

But in order to keep the Song family from being liquidated, we could only swallow our anger. Now we have indeed exchanged our uncle's death for the children, so the Geng family and us have never had any contact."

The fourth uncle spoke loudly, with a look of firmness and hatred in his eyes.

"That means that the Geng family is an enemy, and it's easy to know who the enemy is. I have been thinking about it for a long time these days. Although I don't know who the instructed me behind it, it is undoubtedly a bit uneasy for our two families to swallow this big cake.

Since this is the case, we will divide the profits, find strong allies to cooperate, and force the Geng family to retreat. The interests are permanent."

Zilan was not a waste of time in the farmland, and he had never missed what he should think of.

"Well, a good idea, Ziyan, who do you think is suitable to cooperate with?"

"I have two candidates who I like. The shipping business is profitable. Since we can't swallow it, it doesn't matter if we find two more. Only with enough benefits can we exchange things that suit us.

Judging from the current court situation, the Qi family and Cui family are not afraid of the Geng family.

The Qi family has a royal concubine and the tenth prince. The Cui family has a prime minister and a veteran of two dynasties that can easily shake his status and prestige. I think both families should do the best. Since the third prince has intervened, then what we have to do will mess up the waters and take advantage of the troubled waters."

Zi Yan's thinking was also extremely mature, and it was the result of careful consideration.

The Qi family produced a royal concubine and raised ten princes. They were the emperor's younger brother. They didn't participate in the fight back then, and he was less than a young man.

But the mother's mother was very smart and foresighted, which allowed the Qi family to support the emperor in difficulty. Therefore, the Qi family was always valued. The tenth prince and the emperor were also close to each other and were taken by her side to teach. She was always highly valued by the emperor when she grew up.

The Qi family itself has enough strength. The family is full of talents. After seizing the opportunity, they became a prominent family. Because his family has a truly powerful prince, he has a neutral and fair position. Most people dare not provoke his family and even the queen avoids his family.

Not to mention the Cui family, not only Grandpa Cui is the prime minister, but also the number of children and officials in the family is a large number of officials, and there are only a few third-rank officials. They are also a prominent family that has been passed down for a long time. They have a deeper foundation than the Qi family and have the strength to fight against the Geng family.

"Well, these two candidates are really good. Lan'er thinks there are some supplements."

Grandpa San smiled with satisfaction. The two children had a lot of ideas in their hearts. They were a brainy person who knew what to think.

"We have made it clear to the emperor that we can speak everything we know and that those who are ministers should be open and honest. Our goal is never just money, and making money is just a channel. Our goal is to hope that the Song family will have more opportunities in the court and be reused.

If the loss of money can be exchanged for reuse and opportunity, I think it is a good deal."

"Well, what you mean is to tell the emperor about our thoughts and bring the Tenth Prince closer to the camp."

"Yes, that's what I mean, grandfather, uncles, listen to my immature thoughts."

Zi Lan's thoughts were opened, and her thoughts became more and more smooth and clear. Her body leaned forward slightly, her face flashed with a calm and confident brilliance, and her big eyes were bright and moving.

"The Tenth Prince is the most respected and trusted among the princes. With him, we have to consider our affairs when others want to move. It seems that we have suffered a loss when we share the profits, but we have the title of the prince.

No one dares to move the Song family's business in the future, and there are also maritime transportation matters that we can be trusted more by the emperor and not be greedy and open-minded. Who doesn't like?

Our connection with the Qi family and the Cui family will deepen. There are invisible benefits in many places and will not affect our position. These cannot be exchanged for money."

"Well, your mind is still fast. We didn't expect to invite the prince out directly. This is really good. The Geng family will retreat because of the tenth prince's intervention, and will defeat others without fighting. They are good at making plans."

After hearing this, the second grandfather smiled satisfied and felt that this plan was very feasible and no one could match the money. Moreover, the matter of shipping involves the foundation of the country, it is not just a matter of money, it is a matter of future and credit.

"What do you think?"

"They all said it very comprehensively. So far, we can stabilize this business and opportunity first. We cannot let Lao Liu's hard work be wasted. I think we can do it, so we can find someone to discuss with the Qi family, and then go and talk to the emperor. We have to bother the in-laws and cry in the palace."

"Okay, let's do it. This matter should be done quickly. In the afternoon, my third brother and I took my wife to act separately. I'll go to Qi's family, and you go to Cui's family.

After discussing the right thing, let the in-laws go to the palace to cry and then confess our plans, and then invite the prince to join, so that the shipbuilders will also have the hope of finding better ones."
