C17 Seek Money(part Ii)

Zuo Shaoqing's words were not fabricated. As long as Zuo Family could climb up Wu Steel Manor, none of these would be a problem.

He knew that if he wanted to change the situation with Zuo Family, the key figure would still be Lu Zheng, so he would definitely let the two families marry each other.

The smile at the corner of his mouth turned cold. Zuo Shaoqing's eyes were like torches, "Second Uncle, if I were to say that I can find a good home for second cousin?" No one would think that marrying into the Wu Steel Manor wasn't a good marriage, right? The Second House would probably laugh themselves awake even in their dreams.

As for Lu Zheng liking men, what's the big deal? How many women, after getting married, would not be able to get a husband's favor and would have to carry concubines for their husbands?

"Anyone can speak big words without any proof. Nephew should at least show some sincerity for Second Uncle to see, right?" Zuo Yunyang admitted that his heart was moved. After realizing that Zuo Shaoqing was incomparable to yesterday, he was completely moved.

"Is Second Uncle buying food everywhere?" Zuo Shaoqing suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Zuo Yunyang's eyes darkened and became alert. He laughed and said, "Second Uncle is also in the rice grains business, aren't we all going to have to buy food?"

Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to cause trouble with him and bluntly suggested, "Second Uncle, you'd better sell all the food you have as soon as possible. Otherwise, the gains won't make up for the losses."

The new emperor ascended the throne as if he had suddenly opened a mysterious treasure box. The entire nation of Great Yang would have good weather and good harvests in the next three years, with almost no breakthroughs in granaries.

After the war ended, not only did Beidi receive his tribute, but he also had to spend less food. Food was suddenly plentiful, especially in the southern part of the country, where even the poor farmers were fed for four seasons.

In this kind of situation, grain business was not beneficial at all. Zuo Shaoqing still remembered that after Zuo Family moved to the capital, he received Zuo Yunyang's first letter and told him about this matter. Luo Xiaoliu had even eavesdropped to tell him about it.

"Reason?" Zuo Yunyang fixed his gaze on Zuo Shaoqing, wanting to hear what else he could say that would make people even more surprised.

Second Uncle should know that the Crown Prince is about to ascend to the throne, and the north is about to come to an end. At this point, the new Emperor must be putting all his effort into farming.

Zuo Shaoqing's words made sense. Putting aside the time difference, it was easy to convince people.

"I didn't expect nephew to not only read diligently, he even knew that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne." Zuo Yunyang said nonchalantly: "These are just your guesses, they are not convincing at all. Why should I believe you?"

"Whether you believe it or not will be up to second uncle to decide. Since nephew has said everything that should be said, second uncle must not regret it in the future." Zuo Shaoqing held the black wooden plate in his hand, revealing half of the ornament on it.

Zuo Yunyang had been carefully observing him, so naturally he wouldn't miss this small movement. He was older than Zuo Shaoqing by twenty years, and he grew up in the capital. He understood the meaning of that pattern better than Zuo Shaoqing.

His expression changed. He wanted to take the wooden plate to verify his feelings, but Zuo Shaoqing put it away and looked at him with a smile.

Zuo Yunyang gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I accept my nephew's proposal. Tell me your conditions." He knew that Zuo Shaoqing invited him over and drew such a big cake for him. He also gave him a hint, so it was impossible for him to ask for nothing.

"Second Uncle is a straightforward person and I will not beat around the bush. I need some money to do something, so I went to find Second Uncle." Zuo Shaoqing saw the look of understanding on his face and continued, "I will not speak carelessly. Even if I am not able to reach the best state for Second Uncle in the future, I will not be worse than I am now! Second Uncle should just treat it as investing and doing business, right? "

"Alright, how much do you want?"

"I heard that Second Uncle is also in the trading business?" I want a hundred silver notes plus ten percent of the profit from this business. "

"You're asking for it!" Zuo Yunyang's face was dark. If the other person wasn't his nephew, he would have really slapped him.

Ten percent might not be a lot, but Zuo Shaoqing was a bit too arrogant for thinking about it with just his red mouth and white teeth.

"Don't worry second uncle, I have something to rely on to dare open my mouth. According to my nephew's knowledge, second uncle's kaleidoscope business relies on his Cao Family, what if I can find a stronger backer for you?"

Zuo Yunyang instantly thought of that black wooden plate.

"Good!" As long as you can do this, I'll give you thirty percent, let alone ten percent! " If he really had such a backer, at least he would save money on filial piety. That would be a huge expense.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't have the intention to be modest at all. With a smile, he replied, "It's a deal!"

After Zuo Yunyang left in a daze, Zuo Shaoqing took out his hand from under the blanket. He stared at the wooden signboard and thought to himself: "This is really a good thing, but what a pity it will be returned to its owner tonight."

If that person knew that he had taken his wooden stick, who knows if he would kill him with a single palm.

​

"Tomorrow is a chapter three thousand words.

The reward was too cruel. Uncle Lian had invented this weapon all for the sake of participating in the competition, so he was unable to withstand it.
