Zhao Ling said anxiously: "What's wrong, clan leader, we only have this one way now, and this is also the safest way!"
Zhao Sheng said: "But in this way, how much benefit can our Zhao family get from sharing the profits?"
"If the dry wine is managed by the imperial court, with the strength of our Zhao family, we can't eat meat at all and can only drink a sip of soup."
Zhao Ling hummed: "That's better than just watching helplessly and not even being able to drink a sip of soup, right?"
Zhao Sheng was still hesitant.
"One more thing, Ganjiu is now jointly managed by Zhao Hao and Royal."
"Even if several of our major families unite to put pressure on His Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be justified, right?"
"Can your Majesty agree?"
Zhao Ling said quickly: "How can you disagree? Now the imperial court has just finished a big war and is short of money everywhere."
"What's wrong with putting the dry wine business run by the royal family under the imperial court?"
"In the past, when internal funds were not making money, didn't they also get money from the court?"
"Now that the internal funds are making money, can't we help the court?"
"And it is justifiable that such a large amount of income should be transferred to the imperial court!"
"What can your Majesty do even if he doesn't want to?"
"Is it possible to only care about the royal family and not care about the world?"
"Do you think this is true?"
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment and nodded.
"You're right."
"At worst, leave 10% for the royal family."
"That's about it."
"Once it is placed under the management of the imperial court, we will have much more room to operate!"
Zhao Ling nodded quickly.
"Yes, that's the truth. We aristocratic families will have the final say then!"
Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and said with a flash of his eyes: "Okay, Third Brother, go and invite those family heads immediately."
"I'll discuss this with them!"
…
An hour later, the heads of the major families gathered at the Zhao family.
It was different from the last time I visited Zhao Wenxiang.
Today there are four more family heads.
The guests and hosts took their seats and served tea.
The head of the Wu family was the first to speak: "Brother Zhao, last time you asked us to visit Zhao Wenxiang, we were met with disappointment. You haven't given up yet, have you?"
Zhao Sheng suddenly looked apologetic.
"Brother Wu, Brother Lu, and all the family heads, I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect such a situation last time."
The leader of the Lu family said: "Brother Zhao, just tell me, what advice do you have for inviting us here today?"
Zhao Sheng nodded and looked at Zhao Ling.
"Third brother, tell me!"
Zhao Ling immediately said to all the family heads present:
"Family owners, I believe everyone already knows the sales situation of dry wine today."
"It's a huge piece of fat."
"It must be in the hands of all of us."
"What our clan leader means is that since it doesn't make sense from Zhao Wenxiang and Zhao Hao and his son, it's better to find another way."
When several family heads heard this, they suddenly became curious.
The head of the Lu family asked: "I don't know which way?"
Zhao Ling smiled proudly and said: "It's very simple. Our major families directly put pressure on His Majesty to transfer the management of dry wine to the imperial court!"
After hearing this, the heads of several families suddenly brightened up.
As the heads of a clan, they are all the best of the best.
He immediately understood what Zhao Ling meant.
The head of the Wu family stood up suddenly and praised loudly: "What a great idea! As long as it is placed under the management of the imperial court, this dry wine will fall into the hands of our family in disguise!"
"When that time comes, we can do whatever we want."
"It's no problem to open a winery in every city in Daqian."
“You can even sell dry wine to several other countries!”
“The money earned every year is absolutely an astronomical figure!”
"Of course, even if the big part is still given to the court, the remaining small part will be enough for us to earn!"
The head of the Han family also nodded excitedly.
"Yes, this is a great idea!"
"And we are trying to persuade you as a country. Even if your Majesty doesn't agree with you in your heart, you can't refuse."
"We have great justice in this matter!"
"Unless Your Majesty wants to be known as a foolish king who only cares about the royal family, not the world!"
The head of the Cui family shook his head and said with a smile: "With your majesty's character of caring about the world, as long as we propose it, your majesty will definitely agree!"
"Just like Brother Han said."
"Even if you have a grudge in your heart, you still have to nod."
"Your Majesty cannot bear the pressure from the ministers."
Seeing several family heads expressing their opinions one after another, Zhao Sheng's eyes fell on the head of the Lu family who had been silent.
Can this be done?
I want this guy to nod.
Zhao Sheng asked softly: "Brother Lu, I wonder what you think?"
The head of the Lu family smiled softly: "This is indeed a good idea. Since several heads of the family agree, I naturally agree too."
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed: "Okay, now Brother Lu has agreed to it. Heads of the family, how about we settle this matter?"
The head of the Wu family said: "It's settled. When I get back, I will immediately summon the family members who are officials in the court and ask them to mention this matter in court tomorrow!"
The head of the Han family also said: "I am the same!"
Afterwards, the head of the Cui family, the head of the Lin family, the head of the Fang family... all made their statements one by one.
Several major families reached an agreement.
The head of the Lu family stood up and said, "Brothers, without further delay, we will handle this matter immediately when we get back."
"Tomorrow we will have a meeting at the court, and let the children of their respective families report to Your Majesty on this matter!"
The head of the Lu family made the final decision, and then several heads of the family stood up one after another, said goodbye to Zhao Sheng, and left the Zhao family.
After seeing off several family heads, Zhao Ling suddenly started dancing with excitement.
"Great, Patriarch, we will definitely succeed this time!"
"I want to wait until tomorrow to take a closer look at what the expressions on the faces of those little beasts Zhao Wenxiang and Zhao Hao will be like!"
"They are worthy enough to fight with us!"
"Our aristocratic family unites, even His Majesty wants to give us three points."
"Their father and son simply don't know how high the sky is and how high it is!"
Zhao Sheng sighed and said: "There is obviously no need to go to this step. As long as Zhao Hao hands over 30% of the shares to the family, he can still have 20% left."
"Why go to this point!"
Zhao Ling immediately sneered.
"They deserve it. They asked for it. Since they don't want the family to control it, then they don't want a penny from it!"
"What happened last time did not expel them from the family, which is already a great gift to them!"
"Humph, you dare to disobey the family, you really give them face!"
…
After the patriarchs of several major families left the Zhao family, they returned to their families.
Then they immediately summoned the ruling officials from their respective families.
These people have already heard about the dry wine incident.
Some of them, even before the family expressed their intention, had already thought of assigning dry wine to the imperial court.
Because dry wine is so hot.
Once it was assigned to the imperial court, the imperial court would immediately have a chicken that could lay golden eggs.
Who can not be tempted?
