Xia Lingxuan extended an olive branch, but the other party smiled lightly and then decisively refused.
"Thank you for the prince's kindness, but Ye does not want to be with the royal heirs. The Ye family is just a small family, and the entire family does not want to participate in the prince's dispute, let alone have anything to do with the royal family."
He was very sharp, and there was even a hint of coldness in his eyes.
If you can live a healthy life with such good fortune, why do you have to get involved in the competition among these princes?
"Back then, my great-great-grandfather was involved in a royal battle and lost his life in the end. I am just a small businessman. I have no ability to help the prince. I don't have the energy to manage your money, and I don't want to make the same mistake again."
He deliberately belittled himself, and then a smile appeared on his face. Business cannot be done with kindness.
Seeing the prince's generous spending, he knew that the other party was a good partner.
"If His Highness the Crown Prince still has as good a business as he does today, he can still cooperate with me. After all, we can only benefit from each other if we work together, and both of us can earn a share of the pie."
When talking about business, his eyes seemed to be shining with gold, and Xia Lingxuan didn't bother anymore at this time.
He knows that the other party has a clear attitude towards him, and it is impossible to work with him, but he can become a business partner.
However, Xia Lingxuan did not agree.
Some things have to fall into place naturally, and now that we have acquired this piece of land, it can be considered as a matter of course.
"It's really generous to see His Highness the Crown Prince today, but since you and I have reached a consensus, there is something I can tell His Highness so that His Highness can be prepared."
Xia Lingxuan was immediately confused as to what the other party wanted to say.
Ye Ziliang looked around pretending to be mysterious, and then whispered something in Xia Lingxuan's ear with a smile.
"Your Highness is not the only one who is interested in this piece of land. There are also others in the entire palace who are very interested in it."
Xia Lingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know why Ye Ziliang told him this. Did he want to prove that the value of this land was high?
"As for why I sold this land to His Highness the Crown Prince after weighing the pros and cons, it's naturally because the one with the highest price gets it, and it's my rule to do it on a first-come, first-served basis. I only do business for one word, fairness."
Of course, Ye Ziliang would not fail to make money. Merchants value profit the most. The reason why he chose to sell this piece of land to Xia Lingxuan was, on the one hand, because the price offered by Xia Lingxuan was high enough, and on the other hand, it was also because the other party was hesitant.
Take action when it's time to take action. The longer you wait with it, the more changes you may encounter.
Pursing his lips, Xia Lingxuan didn't say much, just looked at the man in front of him silently.
He is indeed a profiteer.
However, since the other party is willing to tell me that someone is still thinking about this land, he will definitely tell him who that person is.
"I wonder if Mr. Ye can tell me who the royal family still wants to get this land?"
With a smile in his eyes, Xia Lingxuan deliberately looked enthusiastic, while Ye Ziliang just smiled and shook his head.
He would not reveal the other party's identity easily.
Xia Lingxuan immediately understood and took out another stack of silver notes from his arms.
"I don't ask for nothing, I'll give you more money."
This immediately made Ye Ziliang laugh.
He shook his head and sighed with a smile:
"I know that His Highness the Crown Prince has a bold temperament. As expected, this business should be done by us. Since you have given me the money, I won't hide it from you anymore. That person is the Fourth Prince."
Ye Ziliang, who got the money, naturally told him the identity of the other party without reservation, but when Xia Lingxuan found out about the fourth prince, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Everyone knew that the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were incompatible with each other, and they were two extreme contrasts.
The prince has long been known throughout the capital for his inaction and even misbehavior, and many people have changed their expressions upon hearing this.
But when it comes to the Fourth Prince, everyone only has admiration and envy in their eyes.
The fourth prince not only had good academic performance, but also worked very hard. He was hailed as a child prodigy by his master at a young age.
He entered the immortal sect early to practice. Although he could only return once a year, he was loved and liked by everyone with his extremely thoughtful etiquette every time. He was very knowledgeable and could prepare greeting gifts for all the princes.
On weekdays, the fourth prince was gentle and gentle to everyone, without any negative comments.
Xia Lingxuan never noticed anything wrong with the other party, but since he came back last year, he heard that the fourth prince's cultivation level has reached above the foundation building stage, and he will break through again soon, and by then he will soar.
But after all, he is the fourth prince of the dynasty, and this status also forces him to weigh the pros and cons. Should he ascend and become an immortal without any scruples, should he return here and become a prince, or... compete in the world?
Even if you become an immortal, you will only have superior strength and may not be able to live a life as you please.
If he becomes an emperor, he is the only one in the world, and he has the ability to lead a country, then wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?
However, what Xia Lingxuan never expected was that the fourth prince actually wanted to buy this land.
He was clearly practicing immortality with the immortals on the mountain, so why bother with worldly matters?
While Xia Lingxuan was in a daze, Ye Ziliang looked at Xia Lingxuan with confusion on his face.
"But I'm very curious. I wonder what His Royal Highness's plans are after buying this piece of wasteland? Does he want to keep it in his hands?"
Ye Ziliang always felt that although His Highness the Crown Prince was notorious for his misdeeds, he could only make a judgment after getting to know what kind of person he was.
His intuition told him that Xia Lingxuan was definitely not a creature in the pond, and he might not be able to control it with his ability.
Xia Lingxuan didn't hide it either.
This piece of land is the most important part of his plan. Even if he doesn't tell it now, the other party will know it later.
"I bought this land because of its excellent geographical location. I plan to build a papermaking workshop here, which will be put into production soon."
Paper workshop?
Ye Ziliang was a little surprised.
I thought Xia Lingxuan was going to build a business district here, but after thinking about it, Xia Lingxuan was not a real idiot. There were a lot of rumors about the prince circulating these days.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Xia Lingxuan was selling in his gourd, Xia Lingxuan was by no means the ordinary person he appeared to be.
"Since the prince has plans, I have a candidate I can recommend to you, but I don't know if the prince needs him?"
Ye Ziliang is also a smart person. He knows that some things should not be too aggressive. If he wants the other party to accept his good intentions, he must also look at the other party's needs.
Now that the two have reached a consensus on cooperation, and even Xia Lingxuan has brought huge profits to the other party, Ye Ziliang must not easily harm himself.
"Since Mr. Ye has this idea, thank you very much."
Hearing Xia Lingxuan's agreement, Ye Ziliang's eyes were slightly pleased, as if everything was under control.
After Xia Lingxuan agreed, he immediately made the introduction.
Ye Ziliang didn't say much, but under Xia Lingxuan's gaze, he immediately led everyone in a carriage and rushed forward together.
As the carriage moved forward, the seemingly deserted area seemed extremely deep. When they reached the depths, they could only continue to move forward, but they needed to walk.
