Su Shi couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. If the prince had not died, Daqian would have been in a different situation. When the prince died, not only did the fate of the country change, but the fate of many people was also rewritten.
But what shocked Su Shi even more was that the fate of Daqian's country and the fate of these people had been changed silently. If Pei Xuan hadn't personally inherited the prince and was killed by his plan, even if Su Shi and the others had doubts about the prince's death, they couldn't find any evidence to prove it.
At this time, Su Shi suddenly remembered the other eleven people who were assassinated by Pei Xun. He really couldn't imagine how much impact the death of these eleven people had on Daqian's national destiny.
Who are the remaining four people?
Will the changes in the situation six months later have something to do with these four people?
Is there any current His Majesty among them?
All these questions have no answers.
Su Shi was so lost in thought that he completely forgot where he was.
The others kept their eyes on him. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Kong Wenshun asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly ask about the prince?"
Although the truth of the prince's death has been revealed, after all, ten years have passed. Moreover, the foundation of a country was actually murdered. If it was publicized, it would definitely lose the prestige of the great country. Therefore, those who knew about it kept it secret, and even tried their best to forget it.
Su Shi came back to his senses at this time, smiled apologetically at Kong Wenshun, and said: "Nowadays, it has become a common practice for Daqian to engage in business affairs, and the government and businessmen are integrated. Master Kong, do you think this move will harm Daqian?"
Kong Wenshun sighed and said: "Although I don't understand the business of merchants, in the past ten years, although Daqian seems to be singing and dancing, and the faction is prosperous, the root of the disaster has already been sown."
At this point, Kong Wenshun suddenly looked at Su Shi in surprise and blurted out: "Does this little brother have a solution?"
But as soon as he said the words, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was the one who was rude. I have no official position, and the General's Palace is not a merchant's home. How can we resolve the current situation?"
However, he felt that everyone's expressions were different. Su Shi remained silent on the side, but his expression was extremely indifferent.
Qin Zhidao kept stroking his beard, looking at Su Shi with a smile that he couldn't hide.
Qin Nan's fist hitting his back had lost its weight. Kong Wenshun turned around and saw that although Qin Nan was blushing with embarrassment, his eyes were still secretly looking at Su Shi, with an expression of admiration and pride appearing on his face involuntarily.
Kong Wenshun was so smart that he couldn't help being shocked when he saw the expressions of Qin Zhidao and his daughter. He looked at Su Shi blankly and asked in disbelief: "Do you really have a way to crack it?"
However, Su Shi shook his head and sighed: "Business matters are inherently complicated, not to mention that the current situation in Daqian is extremely severe. I can only do my best and obey fate. So although we have a plan at the moment, whether this plan will succeed in the end , is also an unknown number.”
Although Kong Wenshun had a vague guess that Su Shi wanted to change the current situation, he also felt that this move was too unbelievable and was really a fantasy.
After all, the current situation in Daqian cannot be changed by one person or even one force. Not even His Majesty can change it.
What's more important is that at present, various forces in Daqian are intertwined and the situation is complicated. A single move can affect the whole body. Even if you want to change the current situation, you don't know how to start.
And if you fail to take the right medicine and take action rashly, breaking the current delicate balance, it will not only be useless, but may even plunge Daqian into turmoil.
So when Su Shi admitted that he planned to change the current situation, Kong Wenshun not only did not show joy on his face, but his face was solemn and worried.
"What are your plans?" After a long time, Kong Wenshun asked slowly.
Su Shi did not answer him immediately. He pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "My plan is to force the court to make the right choice."
This answer surprised everyone. Even Qin Zhidao and Qin Nan heard this answer for the first time.
Kong Wenshun asked in confusion: "What does it mean to force the court to make the right choice?"
Su Shi sighed: "My plan is very simple and crude. It will break the current business structure by swallowing up everything and force the imperial court to take action."
No one could understand what he meant. Everyone looked at him blankly, waiting for his explanation.
However, Su Shi did not explain further, and just said calmly: "My plan can take as short as one month, or as long as three months. You will see the results. I will explain them one by one at that time."
Everyone saw that Su Shi refused to explain in detail. Although they were a little disappointed, they also knew that the matter was of great importance and it was natural for him to hide something, so they did not pursue the question any further.
But in the end Kong Wenshun asked the last question: "Is Nan'er's management of the Qin Mansion store part of your plan?"
Su Shi nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, and it's also a very important step in my plan."
Kong Wenshun let out a long breath. Although he still had countless questions, he was relieved after learning that his beloved disciple was not a profit-seeking person, nor was he forced by others, but was involved in a huge plan. Big rocks.
Then he stood up, looked at Su Shi, and said slowly: "Brother Su, if you need me in the future, feel free to ask. Although I don't know anything about merchants, I will never refuse if I can help."
Su Shi hurriedly said: "Then I'll thank Brother Kong here first. There will definitely be trouble for Brother Kong in the future."
Kong Wenshun took his hand, patted it gently, and said sincerely: "What I am doing is very difficult and dangerous. You must be careful about everything and not be reckless. If you encounter danger, remember that although I am single and weak, , you can also protect me from the wind and rain."
Su Shi was moved in his heart, but still smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Kong for your caring heart, but I am very timid. If there is any danger, I will retreat and I will not take my own life for a joke."
Kong Wenshun said happily: "That's good." Then he sighed: "Changing the current situation in Daqian will not happen overnight, so we must think carefully and plan for the long term."
Su Shi also nodded and said: "What Brother Kong said is true. Although my plan has already started, I can't predict what effect it will achieve. But now that the plan has started, I have to go on this road. If there are dangers, , and we can only adapt to circumstances."
At this time, Qin Zhidao was happy to see that Kong Wenshun had been persuaded by Su Shi not to pursue Qin Nan's management issues, and that he was also willing to become a strong supporter.
Because he knew that Kong Wenshun seemed to be alone, but his influence could not be underestimated. If he was willing to help, Su Shi's plan would have a better chance of winning.
So Qin Zhidao said with a smile: "We have been discussing for a long time, and I am afraid that we are already hungry. Let's move to the main hall now and talk in detail after lunch."
Kong Wenshun and Su Shi naturally did not refuse and followed Qin Zhidao to the main hall of Qin Mansion for dinner.
