After receiving Su Shangqing's order, Su Zhi thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't know what Ran Fang was missing.
After all, with Ran Fang's current financial resources, I'm afraid even their Su family can't match it, so how can we satisfy Ran Fang?
Because the auction time was very close, he didn't have much time to think about it, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to come to the commander's office with something he thought would impress people.
The guard at the door looked at the carriage approaching from a distance and the many people following it, and thought he was here to stir up trouble.
Just as he was thinking, who was so blind that he dared to command the envoy to cause trouble in his house? !
As a result, he saw a gentle man and a woman with a veil on her face getting out of the carriage. The man walked towards him with a kind smile on his face.
"Please let me know. Su Zhi and Su Wan of the Su Mansion are asking to see the commander."
After saying that, someone next to Su Zhi immediately stepped forward, took out a purse and handed it to the guard's hand.
The guard pushed the purse away without hesitation, turned around and said something to the person next to him, then turned and walked towards the yard.
Seeing this scene, Su Zhi couldn't help but admire Ran Fang's governance methods.
If they had given the money to others, they would have taken it impatiently. It is really rare for the guards in Ran Fang's mansion to be able to see it without showing any signs of greed.
Just as he was secretly admiring in his heart, the guard had come out and walked towards Su Zhi.
"The commander is waiting in the front hall."
"Those people can't go in yet, though."
As he spoke, the guard pointed at the people behind him.
There was no displeasure on Su Zhi's face. He nodded in understanding and followed the guard in very politely.
Su Wan, who was behind him, followed suit and followed Su Zhi in very obediently.
The moment the brother and sister stepped into the Commander's Mansion, they were shocked by the decoration in Ran Fang's Mansion. It was indeed much more gorgeous than the Su Mansion.
As well as the guards in the courtyard, they all stood upright and stared at him, not affected by his appearance at all.
Finally coming to the front hall, his eyes were shocked by the glass on the window that was somewhat transparent but could not see inside.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze, walked in with steady steps, and saluted Ran Fang respectfully: "Su Zhi of the Su family, see the commander."
Su Wan also saluted, and she could feel the enchantment of this woman in her every move.
Ran Fang looked at the person standing there, with a very calm expression on his face, and said softly: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Commander."
After finishing speaking, Su Zhi slowly sat on the chair beside him.
Su Wan did not sit down, but stood behind Su Zhi, lowering her head in great respect.
After standing still, Su Zhi said: "To be fair to the commander, I came to the Su family today to ask for a favor from the commander."
"In order not to embarrass the commander, our Su family just hopes that the commander can reveal some information about the auction."
"I have brought the sincerity of the Su family, and it is at the door now. We will give it to the commander whether he wants it or not."
His every move and every move showed his upbringing, and his attitude towards Ran Fang made people feel much more comfortable.
Moreover, when he came up, he stated his purpose without saying any polite words, which made Ran Fang couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Normally when you want something from someone, you always have to get close first and then talk about your own affairs. This Su Zhi is really a strange person.
"oh?"
"The newspapers have already explained everything about the auction. I wonder what else the Su family wants to know?"
Hearing Ran Fang's words, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Su Zhi's originally calm face.
Are you saying that they want to buy those factories directly?
However, he returned to normal in just an instant, looked at Ran Fang with a smile, and said softly: "Everyone knows that those factories are the hard work of the commander."
"Now that the commander is willing to take out these things, it must be for the nobles to pay taxes."
"Although His Majesty has not yet issued an order on this matter, the nobles in the city must have received the news. Especially the fact that the nobles can do business has caused a lot of controversy among the nobles."
"Just now that the commander has made such a decision, everyone's attention will naturally be on the factory. It is a truth that everyone understands that the factory will be more profitable than other businesses."
"Therefore, the Su family is not the only one who wants to get the right to operate the factory. There will be more people who want to get it."
"I came here today just to know what the commander means. How much money does it cost to buy these factories?"
These few words of his exposed the fact that the nobles had received the news. He had no intention of hiding it, or he knew that the matter could not be hidden for long.
However, Ran Fang liked his honesty very much.
"I can tell you this. Only the one with the highest price will get it."
"You just said that the value of those factories, so the higher the selling price, the more beneficial it is to me, right?"
"So, your question is wasted."
This answer was expected by Su Zhi. It had been written in the newspaper at that time. He came here today just to show his face in front of Ran.
But seeing that Ran Fang really found it difficult to speak, he was still a little disappointed.
"I was rude."
"But it is also an honor for me to meet the commander today."
"Can I ask, who can participate in this auction?"
"I wonder if the Su family is qualified?"
This is his purpose today.
Ran Fang smiled lightly, knowing that Su Zhi would not ask such a simple question.
"This officer is not aware of this matter yet."
"Others are responsible for the list. I cannot handle everything personally."
Su Zhi's army was defeated again, and now Su Zhi really didn't know what to say.
Although he was a little frustrated in his heart, he could still maintain the expression on his face, fearing that he would make Ran Fang unhappy if he didn't pay attention.
The fists in his hands were secretly clenched, but his face was smiling at Ran Fang, his head lowered and he didn't know what to say.
"I see, then it won't be difficult for me to take command."
As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Su Wan behind him and motioned for her to come forward.
Su Wan walked forward with elegant steps and gently opened the gauze curtain on her head, revealing a delicate and small cheek.
She respectfully gave a woman's salute to Ran Fang and said: "I am Su Wan, please see the commander."
The voice was like a breeze, soft and fresh, but also full of emotion and warmth, which made people fascinated.
As soon as Su Wan stood up, Su Zhi explained: "Su Wan is my sister, and she loves the Commander very much. When she heard that I was coming to see the Commander today, she begged me to bring her over to see the Commander. "
After he finished speaking, Su Wan lowered her head shyly, and said in a small but firm voice: "If the commander is willing, Su Wan is willing to stay with the commander."
