Chapter 122: This is a gamble
After Yang Xu traveled to this world, he lived in both people and land, so he regarded Yangjiazhai as his home and the villagers as his relatives.
He originally wanted to reunite with the villagers in the manor for a few days, play mahjong, push Paijiu, and relax his body and mind.
But the three invitations I received suddenly broke his tranquility.
"It's okay for the King of Qin to send me an invitation. Where did the prince and King of Jin make a fuss?"
Looking at the three invitations in front of him, Yang Xu was confused.
He and the King of Qin have a business cooperation relationship, so it is natural that he invites him to visit.
But the prince and the king of Jin, they had never known each other and had no contact with each other. What did they mean to invite themselves?
After thinking about it, Yang Xu thought about it and felt that these two people would definitely not admire their literary talent. Most of them were because they saw that they were good at making money and became interested in winning over them.
After all, the crown prince and the king of Jin himself had to eat and drink, and he also had many disciples and counselors under his command, and he also wanted to win over generals and court officials. He needed money to support him in any case.
Among the merchants in the imperial capital, they already have the name of "Little God of Wealth". They are trying to win over themselves, but this is nothing more than what they want.
"Mom, I just want to be a rich man quietly, but I don't want to mix with the bullshit things between your princes!"
After understanding this, Yang Xu looked at the sky speechless.
His current relationship with the King of Qin is only a business cooperation relationship and does not involve the royal family's struggle for power and profit.
However, Yang Xu also understood that in the eyes of some people, cooperating with the King of Qin is equivalent to the King of Qin, and it is not easy to separate him from him.
Now the crown prince and King Jin have invited him one after another, probably wanting to give it a try. It would be best if he could poach himself. If he couldn't poach him, he could also make things difficult for the King of Qin.
"Master, tell me, what should I do about this?"
Yang Xu picked up three invitations and looked at them again and again. Cobalt asked Yang Hongyu, wanting her to give her an idea.
"You decide for yourself."
Yang Hongyu said firmly: "No matter how you choose or what you do, the entire Yangjiazhai will support you unconditionally!"
Yang Xu sighed: "Okay. Let me think... Let me think..."
He knew that if he was involved in the battle for the throne, he would be doomed if he took a wrong step.
I already have the mark of King Qin on me, and I want to withdraw, I am afraid it will be too late.
Since you are already in it, you can only choose one party to surrender.
Not to mention that Yang Xu and the King of Qin had known each other for a long time, just because of the shares in the Yang Family Restaurant and Yang's perfume shop, Yang Xu had no choice but to defect to the King of Qin.
This feeling of not being able to control one's own destiny made Yang Xu feel very bad.
Yang Xu held three invitations in his hand and sat on the lounge chair woven by the village people in the manor's own yard. He looked at the white clouds and birds in the sky and sat for almost the whole day.
The villagers all knew that he was thinking about his thoughts and would not come to disturb him.
It was not until dusk that Yang Hongyu walked over, stood beside Yang Xu, and said in an unprecedented gentle tone: "If you don't want to go, you won't go, why bother with this?"
Yang Xu sighed, "No! This is the imperial capital, and we have no foundation. If we don't find a strong backer to protect it, any powerful person can swallow our business."
Yang Hongyu said: "At worst, we won't do business anymore, and we will go back to Yangjia Village, and no one will rely on it."
When she said this, she looked yearning on her face.
Yang Xu smiled bitterly and asked, "How are the people living now?"
Yang Hongyu didn't understand what he meant, but he replied: "There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and the children can also study at the college near the imperial capital... It is many times better than when I was in Yangjiazhai before."
Yang Xu nodded and said, "Yes! The life of the villagers is getting better and better. From the smiles on their faces, you can tell that they are very satisfied with this kind of life... If they are asked to go back to Yangjiazhai to live the hard days before, do you think they would like to?"
Yang Hongyu did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully before saying uncertainly: "I...I don't know."
Yang Xu said: "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Most villagers, who are used to good life, only yearn for better life, so where can they wish to go back to the past?"
When Yang Hongyu heard this, she thought about it, and she couldn't help but look a little sad. She knew that some things really couldn't go back to the past.
Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Yang Xu comforted her: "You should be happy as the village head, as the village head, you will be called Yangjiazhuang in the future, and you will be the owner of the house! Wherever we are, we are home, and Yangjia Village!"
Yang Hongyu felt warm in her heart and nodded.
She also thought so in her heart. As long as the Yangjiazhai village is there and the man around her is there, she can be a home anywhere. No matter whether she is poor or rich in the future, she will not care.
Yang Xu stood up from the recliner and said, "I decided to go to the Qin Prince's Mansion! This is a bet. If you win the bet, we will probably have no worries for the rest of our lives. If you lose the bet... At worst, we can plan ahead and leave the imperial capital early in the future and fly away!"
At dusk, Yang Xu, Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi, together in a carriage, drove away from the manor renamed "Yangjiazhuang" and headed to the Qin Prince's Mansion.
The carriage was equipped not long ago, which is equivalent to Yang Xu's special car. It is much more convenient for Yang Xu to go to the manor and the imperial capital or go out to do business.
"The prince, King Jin, and King Qin issued invitations on the same day, which was actually to let the officials in the court take sides! This way, many officials in the court would be worried about losing their hair!"
Yang Xu said along the way to the Qin Prince's Mansion.
Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi didn't know much about the court. What Yang Xu said, they just nodded.
Their duty is to protect Yang Xu, even if he sacrifices his life, he will do whatever he wants.
When I arrived in front of the Qin Palace, I found that there were many carriages parked, and it was obvious that many officials had arrived before them.
In addition, some officials' carriages are coming one after another.
Su Cheng, the chief of the Qin Palace, was standing in front of the palace with a smile, and greeting guests from all walks of life.
"Oh, Brother Yang is here! The King of Qin is looking forward to it in the mansion!"
Seeing Yang Xu coming, Su Cheng greeted him with a smile and greeted him with a very intimate attitude.
The officials who arrived later almost did not recognize Yang Xu. They were secretly surprised to see Su Cheng being so enthusiastic about a young man in ordinary clothes.
"That person is Yang Xu."
An official who recognized Yang Xu whispered to several officials who were traveling with him.
When the officials heard this, they all looked dazed.
Most of the officials of the Qin Palace invited to come today followed the Qin King with all their hearts. They all knew that Yang Xu had saved the life of the King of Qin and Princess Yifu, and was very famous in his talent and good at making money. Therefore, he was highly valued by the King of Qin.
