"Let's not talk about the future. I haven't asked you to do anything right now. It's just that your eldest brother has become a chieftain. Based on his attitude towards me, we shouldn't do anything to get rich in the future. You've known for years that I like gold and silver. We have to continue this business. The goods over there are all legitimate and need to be delivered. Did you bring your relatives with you this time?"
Zhang Jiuli wouldn't say any empty words to him. Now was not the time for empty talk. He had to give him something tangible. If he just kept talking, how could he accomplish anything within a month? He had to first make this guy want to rebel, and then give him the money to do so. As for how he would act next, that was his own business.
Meng Chuan nodded on the side. Although most of the people in the team were his brother and his father, he still brought out some of his own people. When he saw Zhang Jiuli nod, Meng Chuan followed Zhang Jiuli to the convoy.
"Replace these people first after you go back. Don't tell me you can't even do this. If you can't even do this, then we shouldn't cooperate at all. You have to be decisive to do things. If you don't act decisively, how can you expect them to give you power? These trucks are all good stuff and can be exchanged for money at any time after they are taken up. Spend it where it's needed. This money is given to you by me, so don't be reluctant to spend it."
This is what Zhang Jiuli fears the most. These carts are either liquor or perfume, which are the best things in the mountains and can be exchanged for large sums of money at any time. As long as he uses these things to bribe people, more than 40% of the people under the Longchuan chieftain can be bribed. It depends on whether you are willing to spend money.
When seeing these boxes of goods, Meng Chuan was also dumbfounded. Although he was the second young master of the mountain, these things were not ordinary things. It was said that they were in high demand in Chang'an City. If these boxes of things were brought to Chang'an City, he would instantly become a wealthy family in Chang'an City.
You have to know that is Chang'an City, the center of the world, not their remote place. From this, Meng Chuan can see that his father-in-law has really invested a lot of money in him. He certainly knows how much money his father-in-law has, and he had greedily thought about how much he would give him.
Happiness has come too quickly now. His father-in-law actually exchanged one-third of his property for scarce goods and asked him to bribe those people. He didn't know how to do it before, but now that he has this money, he knows exactly what to do next.
"I know you're a little confused right now. I've prepared two people for you. You can take them as your dowry when you return. They know a lot about what's going on in the mountains, so you can discuss anything with them."
Zhang Jiuli clapped his hands and immediately two elderly stewards came out. They often escorted Zhang Jiuli up the mountain and were very familiar with the situation on the mountain. Having these two people guiding him from the side was much better than Meng Chuan rushing around on his own.
"Thank you, father-in-law. I really don't know what to say. Please rest assured about the future..."
Meng Chuan was so moved that tears were about to flow down his face, but he had nothing in his hands now. If he wanted to thank Zhang Jiuli, he could only make a wish for the future. Seeing this guy swearing on his ancestors, Zhang Jiuli didn't know what to say. Maybe if he really helped him win the position of chieftain, he would be able to live a good life in the future. Unfortunately, Li Xiang came, and everything was no longer in the hands of these men.
"Stop crying and stand up quickly. I haven't finished yet. These four people are all experts I found for you from the capital. They are very powerful. The people around your father are no match for them. Some people can be bribed, but if they are shameless, you have to make a quick decision."
When the four people stood in front of Meng Chuan, this guy also felt a chill. It was obvious that these people were not ordinary people. Meng Chuan himself was also in the team, so he could still feel the strength of some people. Although these people did not take action, you could tell from their eyes that they had killed countless people.
Meng Chuan swallowed his saliva at this time. Although he had thought about it before, he didn't expect things to progress so quickly. He thought it would take a long time, but now it seems that it is already pushing him to run. His father-in-law prepared so carefully...
"I know you're a kind-hearted child and that there are some things you don't want to do, but you have to think clearly. The progression of power is a bloody one. Don't you know that you had several uncles? Why did they all die overnight? If your father knew about this, do you think you could survive tomorrow? Before others raise their knives, you must plunge your knife into their bodies first. Only then can you continue to live. Abandon those useless fantasies, and even more so, abandon those useless family ties. You treat them with family affection, but does anyone treat you with family affection?"
If Li Xiang saw all this, he would give Zhang Jiuli a score of 90 in his heart. If this guy were thrown into a pyramid scheme organization in the 21st century, he would definitely be a gold medal lecturer.
Just now, when he observed the look in his son-in-law's eyes, he immediately realized that Meng Chuan was not that determined. Now he had to make this guy understand that it was either you die or I die, and there was no time for him to consider.
Meng Chuan took all these words to heart and thought about what happened that day.
In his father's eyes, his eldest brother's life was the most important life, and his own life was even like a hunting dog. If he had behaved a little abnormally that day, perhaps the knife would have been stabbed into his body. Thinking of those uncles who had died, that might have been his fate. He must not wait until that day. Perhaps those uncles had thought about resisting, but unfortunately they no longer had the strength.
Meng Chuan gritted his teeth hard. He had to make a decision now. If he continued to live in a daze as before, when his elder brother took action, he would not be able to fight back except to scold him. Maybe the elder brother would not even let him curse and would just find something to block his mouth.
