"Tell them that none of us know how big our losses are now. If we are worried that the losses will be too great, we can negotiate and see if we can overcome the difficulties together by sharing the losses. If they are interested, they can come A narration."
Zhao Xian came up with an idea.
When encountering such a disaster, losses are inevitable. The only difference is the amount of loss, which is a little different. However, just the difference in losses can cause people to turn against each other.
Not only the other families, but even Zhao Xian is worried that his family will suffer all losses, while the other families will not suffer much loss. In this case, the Zhao family will decline from now on, and will no longer be able to be on an equal footing with the other families.
This is difficult for anyone to accept, and is even more uncomfortable than death. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Several companies have long been accustomed to living aloof, and now they are suddenly about to be knocked down. Who can bear this?
Therefore, Zhao Xian came up with such a solution, which was not a solution. No matter what the losses of each family are this time, all we need to do is to pool the resources of each family and then distribute them equally to each family. In this way, everyone's starting point becomes the same again. No one can say who has the advantage.
Of course, negotiations on specific matters will definitely involve wrangling and making concessions. However, as long as we set a tone now while people are in panic, that would be good.
Soon, several people who could make the decision followed.
"We all agree with the elder's idea. At this moment, we should indeed tide over the difficulties together."
Zhao, Zhang, Chen, and Wen, these are the four largest families after Yashan.
At this moment, everyone gathered in front of Zhao Xian. Of course, Zhao Xian himself represented the Zhao family.
The heads of the family are not stupid people, and they know that at this time, they must not fall into endless wrangling. Coupled with Zhao Xian's proposal, it is indeed fair. Therefore, everyone agreed without the slightest opinion.
Now that the matter of sharing the losses has been agreed upon, the most urgent thing now is how to regain the land occupied by the natives.
Although their lives have been saved at the moment, the Zhuangzi where they are now settled is not even a small corner compared to the entire island. The entire big island, now 99% of the land, is occupied by natives.
"Since our ancestors are from the same hometown as Duke Xin, I wonder if we can ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help us regain our land?"
The lifeblood of everyone now depends on it. Frankly speaking, if the Ming Navy had not arrived in time, everyone present would have been buried in the sea.
Moreover, if they wanted to drive away the natives and take back the land, they could only rely on the Ming Dynasty.
"Then let me lower my face and ask." This is the only way out, and Zhao Xian can only nod and agree. "However, everyone should know that there is no free food and drink in this world. If you want to invite the Ming Dynasty to send troops, I am afraid you will have to pay a price."
Several family heads looked at each other, clasped their fists towards Zhao Xian, and said, "Elders, please rest assured, we all understand."
It's good if you understand it. Now that you understand it, it will be easier to handle.
Zhao Xian didn't waste any time and came to Han Du non-stop.
When he came to Han Du, he happened to see Han Du sitting on a chair, holding a treasure note in his hand and looking at it.
"Uncle, I'm really in a good mood." Zhao Xian praised with a smile. However, although he had a bright smile on his face, his heart couldn't help but sink. Judging from Han Du's leisurely look, he showed no sign of actively standing up for them.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao is here? Please take a seat." Han Du didn't even show up, but just gestured towards Zhao Xian.
Not only did Zhao Xian not feel slighted, but he felt like he was being treated well. In terms of identity, Han Du was Jing Haibo of the Ming Dynasty, but he was just a commoner. Although he has a high prestige locally, it does not work for Han Du. And since the Ming Dynasty was able to drive the Meng Yuan back to the grassland in just fifteen years, it must have been a very powerful country.
Han Dujing Haibo's status was beyond his reach. In front of Han Du, it can be said that he is useless except that he is older.
Han Du originally thought that the old man had come to ask him to accuse him. After all, no matter how clean Jiang Ming was, the gold and silver were not in the secret room after all. If you meet someone who is not smart, they might come to make trouble with you.
Of course, Han Du never thought about returning the gold and silver. Not to mention that there is no evidence that he took it. Even if there is evidence to prove that he took it, Han Du will not return it.
You ate something from Uncle Ben’s mouth and you still want him to spit it out? Have you asked Bember about his hundreds of cannons?
Therefore, Han Du just looked at the treasure banknote in his hand intently without saying a word.
However, after Zhao Xian sat down and saw that Han Du had no further words, he suddenly felt embarrassed. Seeing the treasure banknote in Han Du's hand, he was immediately surprised and said, "What is this in my uncle's hand? Can it open the eyes of ordinary people?"
"Oh, of course." Han Du handed the treasure banknote to Zhao Xian casually, "This is a treasure banknote issued by the Ming Dynasty. A treasure banknote can be exchanged for a copper coin or one tael of silver."
Zhao Xian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be something similar to Jiaozi." 'But since Jing Haibo valued this treasure note so much, Zhao Xian naturally would not show his inner thoughts on his face, and even accepted the treasure note pretending to be solemn.
But as soon as Zhao Xian took the treasure note in his hand, he immediately felt something different. The first was the paper. Under the flickering lights, Zhao Xian couldn't see it clearly, but he could feel the extraordinary quality of the paper through his hands. The paper is light and thin, but tough. When you touch the edge of the banknote with your thumb, it feels like it's scratching your hand.
Due to the arrival of Zhao Xian and others, there was also paper on the big island, but he had never seen such good paper.
Han Du saw the shocked expression on Zhao Xian's face and smiled inwardly, preparing to give him another shock. Then he pointed at the treasure note and said, "Isn't Mr. Zhao grateful to the emperor?"
When Zhao Xian heard this, he immediately looked solemn. He followed Han Du's example and bowed towards the north with his hands raised. "The common people are naturally very grateful to the emperor. If they can see Tianyan, the common people will die without regrets."
Han Du didn't take Zhao Xian's words to heart. Knowing that it is impossible to see the emperor now, but saying nice words, what use can it be?
However, Han Du suddenly thought of something and said: "If Mr. Zhao wants to see the emperor's holy face now, it is not impossible."
