Hearing the voice, Fang Ze couldn't help but follow the voice and look over. Then he saw a fifteen or sixteen year old girl sitting on the sofa in the hall.
How can I describe the girl's appearance... She's just plain, neither beautiful nor ugly. She's the most ordinary kind that you can't find in a crowd.
This actually surprised Fang Ze.
The nobles that Fang Ze has come into contact with so far all have at least average appearance. Most of them are handsome men and beauties. Even his most hated Sima Liu and his former enemy Jiang Cheng, just looking at their faces, they are handsome. Young Master.
Therefore, Fang Ze was really surprised for a moment when he saw that the girl looked so ordinary.
After careful inspection, Fang Ze found that the girl's face still vaguely bore some of the features of Aunt Jin and Bai Zhi's father, so... she was really her biological child.
She didn't know whether Fang Ze's eyes were too direct or the girl was too sensitive. She glared at Fang Ze and then said, "What kind of eyes do you have? Is it weird that I don't look good?"
Hearing the girl's words, Fang Ze also realized that he was rude, so he quickly looked away in embarrassment, bowed his head and apologized.
The girl had a good personality and did not dwell on this matter. She hummed for a lifetime and expressed her acceptance. Then she said to Fang Ze, "You are here to see my dad, right?"
"Wait a minute. I'm going to call him now."
After saying that, the girl passed by Fang Ze, opened the door behind Fang Ze, and walked out.
Fang Ze looked out along the door that the girl opened, and found that outside the door was no longer the place where he came in, but a quaint and atmospheric corridor. Obviously, this should be the interior of the Bai family manor.
After the door was closed, Fang Ze walked over and tentatively opened the door. At this time, the outside of the door became the place where he had just come.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ze once again sighed at the magic and universality of this smoke world's spatial abilities. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at this secret space.
The secret space occupies a large area, and it is not just one room, but a huge building: the entrance is a luxurious hall, which is about sixty or seventy square meters. There is a corridor on the north side of the hall, and a staircase on the east side, which seems to be a passage leading to other rooms and floors.
Coupled with the special effect of being able to reach this secret base from anywhere in the world with just the key, Fang Ze knew without estimating that this space treasure must be worth a lot of money, and it might even be more valuable than his own. A manor is still expensive.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but sigh at the Bai family's financial resources. Sure enough, the heritage of the old aristocracy with fifty years of history is unfathomable. Moreover, this is the Bai family that has always kept to itself, refrained from external development, and was suppressed by the civilian faction in Cedar State.
How terrifying would it be if it were a big family like the Jialan family in Tuoye Prefecture or the Li family in Tangzhou that ruled a state for decades or even hundreds of years, and was so dominant that even the federation had to temporarily avoid the spotlight? ...
While Fang Ze was thinking this, the door opened again, and Bai Zhi's father, dressed in blue and purple casual clothes, walked in.
He still looked as elegant and kind as when Fang Ze saw him last time.
When he saw Fang Ze, he had no airs. Instead, he motioned to Fang Ze casually, "Sit down." Then he took the lead and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Fang Ze followed him and sat down, and then heard him say: "Xiao Zhi has already told me what you think."
"Xiao Zhi's child has a simple temper and can't understand the joints, but Xiao Zhi's aunt and I understand."
He took a deep look at Fang Ze and said, "To put it bluntly, you just want to take advantage of our Bai family's power."
As he spoke, he leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa to make himself more comfortable, "Many people in the state capital didn't understand why you chose the Jia family, the weakest among the seven noble families. . "
"Even if I guess that you don't want to be controlled by others and want to take the initiative in cooperation, you still don't understand where the price comes from."
"After all, no matter how weak the Jia family is, they still have demigods to hold their own, and even mortal-level masters to preside over their daily lives."
"And at that time in your Si family, the strongest one was only at the peak of Huayang. The strength of the two sides was not equal at all."
"And you took out the Tuafan Fruit yesterday, which raised the upper limit of the Si family's combat power and made up for the shortcomings of the Tuafan class. Now you have cooperated with our Bai family, obviously to make up for another shortcoming: demigods . "
"In this way, you have the backing of our Bai family and the masters of the mortal level to hold the battle. The Jia family will completely lose the negotiating advantage, and the entire cooperation will be dominated by you."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi's father looked at Fang Ze and asked, "Am I right?"
To be honest, Fang Ze never thought that his plan could be hidden from the Bai family, so when Bai Zhi's father said it so clearly, he nodded and admitted frankly, "Yes. It is true."
Seeing this, Bai Zhi's father nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "If I guess correctly, you actually just want to take advantage of our Bai family's power, and you don't really want to cooperate with our Bai family."
"The reason is the same as the other six noble families: our Bai family is too strong compared to you now. Once we cooperate, it is too easy to lose control."
This time Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I do have this worry."
"But...I didn't think about asking the Bai family to help in vain."
"I know that there are interests between families. Therefore, I prepared my own conditions early."
Speaking of this, Fang Ze also expressed his true thoughts, "Now the Si family's three interests are coveted by the nobles in the eastern region."
"The first is the private army quota. This is the heritage of each family. It is impossible for me to cooperate with any party."
"The second is the quota of various materials and one billion lini provided by the federation to the Si family every year."
"The third is the management and taxation rights of affiliated cities and high-level cities that belong exclusively to the Si family."
"My idea is: The Bai family can choose one of the latter two to cooperate with our Si family. During the period of taking advantage of the situation, I can use up to 1/3 of the Si family quota to cooperate with the Bai family, or in the affiliated city The high-end cities give the Bai family and Si family the same treatment."
"As for other things, if you are interested, you can talk about it."
"Moreover, although these cooperations are claimed to be cooperations, they are actually all provided to the Bai family free of charge. You do not need to pay any benefits, and they are all handled by you. We will not check them."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi's father's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he was obviously a little moved.
Although the last two items mentioned by Fang Ze may seem inconspicuous and all belong to the Federation, in fact... these are all real money.
The reason why the 102 noble families in the federation are far stronger than ordinary families no matter how weak they are is actually because of the federal quota and city income.
Let’s talk about the material quota first. These supplies are not ordinary supplies, they are all scarce resources of the Federation. The most typical example is [Qin 28], a strategic grade ore extract. Although it costs money to buy it, my family doesn't use it. It can be resold on the black market for dozens or even dozens of times the profit.
Moreover, although the sale of [Qin 28] is illegal, there are also many of these materials that are not illegal, such as special awakening potions, double-sided tea leaves, etc., and the profits are several times higher when resold.
So the supplies seem to be just a quota, but in fact they are all money.
The same is true for affiliated cities and directly affiliated high-end cities. In high-end cities, nobles can do business there tax-free and enjoy various privileges and benefits.
As for the affiliated cities, it is even more exaggerated. It is completely regarded as the private fiefdom of the nobles. In the affiliated cities, the family law overrides the federal law. If there is a conflict between the two, the family law will prevail, so the nobles can do whatever they want in it.
Many absurd things, such as companies that directly rob residents of affiliated cities, confiscation of private property of residents of affiliated cities, absurd first night rights, etc... all happened in those cities.
Therefore, these two cooperations have huge benefits. It is conservatively estimated that they can create profits of hundreds of millions of lini a year. Many nobles with average strength, such as
The Jia family can barely maintain itself and has even trained two mortals over the years because of these quotas and resources.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's father couldn't help but glance at Fang Ze again, sighing at Fang Ze's courage.
It is a very bold decision to prefer direct benefits rather than cooperation to cut off the power of both parties and avoid being infiltrated by other families.
Moreover, Fang Ze also added a period of time to this cooperation: during the period of asylum of the Bai family.
This once again showed Fang Ze's confidence.
Obviously Fang Ze believed that his family would soon be able to give birth to a demigod, thereby getting rid of the current situation of being controlled by others.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's father shook his head slightly in his heart: But it's a pity... Fang Ze is courageous, and the Bai family is also courageous...
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's father glanced at Fang Ze, and then said: "Fang Ze, your conditions are very attractive. But I am not interested in them. "
"Let me tell you a condition. If you think it is acceptable, our Bai family will not only protect you for free, but we are even willing to provide your Si family with talents to build affiliated cities and run high-end cities for free, and help you open up resource sales channels."
Hearing Bai Zhi's father say so many favorable conditions, Fang Ze didn't look happy on his face.
There is never a free lunch in this world. The Bai family is willing to pay so much, and the goal is obviously bigger. So he couldn't help but ask: "What is that condition?"
Bai Zhi's father said slowly: "I hope you and Xiao Zhi can get married as soon as possible."
"And no matter how many women you have outside in the future, you can only have her as your wife for the rest of your life."
When Fang Ze heard this, his pupils shrank slightly...
Half an hour later, the secret space.
At this time, Fang Ze had left, and there were only Aunt Jin and Bai Zhi's father in the secret space. Aunt Jin thoughtfully rubbed the shoulders of Bai Zhi's father and said in a low voice, "You are making your own decisions again."
"The old man only asked you to help him, but he didn't ask you to mention this condition."
"Besides, you didn't ask Xiaozhi's wishes in advance when you proposed such a condition. What if she doesn't want to marry Fang Ze."
Hearing Aunt Jin's words, Bai Zhi's father snorted and said angrily: "She doesn't want to get married? You didn't see her behavior last time when I went to find her after I sent her to Fangze Manor."
"I have been saying good things to Fang Ze the whole time, but she got angry with me when I said bad things! And when I mentioned that I wanted to marry her, she actually became shy."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi's father couldn't help but shook his head, "Have you ever seen her shy in all these years?"
Hearing the flowers from Bai Zhi's father, Aunt Jin couldn't help coughing, and then she said: "Then you can't make such a condition in this situation. Fang Ze seems to be a very creative kid at first glance. If you force him like this, what will happen? It causes conflicts in their feelings."
Hearing Aunt Jin's words, Bai Zhi's father curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "It's a good thing to add some conflicts. How can you recognize your own feelings without going through thinking and suffering."
"When things go well, people and ghosts are the same. It's only when things go wrong that you can see a person's character."
"And I am Xiaozhi's father. I have to fight for something for Xiaozhi, right? You can't marry someone and give them a house, resources, and people, only to end up sponsoring a white-eyed wolf, right?"
Hearing what Bai Zhi's father said, Aunt Jin nodded coquettishly at Bai Zhi's father, "You~"
At the same time, Fang Ze also returned to the Si family manor with a frown on his face.
Heiyu had been waiting outside since he went for the appointment. When she saw Fang Ze coming out, she hurriedly greeted him. Then, while checking Fang Ze's condition with her eyes, she asked softly: "Young master, how is the situation?"
Fang Ze was obviously thinking about something, so he just shook his head slightly and walked forward.
Seeing this, Heiyu was worried that something might happen to Fang Ze, so he quickly followed him out.
In this way, until Fang Ze returned to the villa where he lived, Heiyu watched Fang Ze return to the villa and then left silently.
At this time, Fang Ze also returned to his villa,
He went upstairs and returned to his room.
After returning to his room, Fang Ze didn't even wash up, so he just got on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and continued to be immersed in his own thoughts.
Perhaps because Fang Ze's appearance attracted too much attention, the flower god slowly got out from under the bed, and then asked curiously: "Fang Ze, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the voice of the Flower Goddess, Fang Ze turned his head and looked over, and then saw the Flower Goddess shaking her petals and floating in front of him.
Seeing the Goddess of Flowers, Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, and then he asked softly: "Your Majesty, you said... what is love?"
Hearing Fang Ze's question, the flower god was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she among the petals said with a proud face: "How do I know? I have never been in love!"
Hearing what the Flower God said, Fang Ze couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and almost didn't react: Don't all demigods live a long time? They have lived for such a long time, and yet they have never been in love?
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, how old are you? How come you haven't been in love before?" After hearing Fang Ze's words, the flower god among the petals couldn't help but be a little confused, "How old am I?" For you humans, it should be...36F."
Speaking of this, she asked hesitantly: "But... does this have anything to do with love? Are people with big breasts not qualified to fall in love? "
Fang Ze:……
These two are the same thing! Moreover, your figure is a foul, right? Why is it bigger than Bai Zhi’s!
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but patted his forehead. He felt that he shouldn't talk about this topic anymore, so he changed his mind and asked: "My Majesty, what do you think the two of them mainly watch together? ?「
Hearing Fang Ze's more serious questions, the flower god transformed into his own figure in front of Fang Ze, and then floated cross-legged in front of Fang Ze. After that, she held her chin and thought for a while, "I tell you what...the main reason for two people to be together is to see how happy they are!"
"Happy?" Fang Ze repeated.
The flower god nodded, and then she said with longing in her eyes: "For example, two people can go to hot pot together? Can they eat noodles together? Can they eat chicken legs together? Can they eat stinky tofu together? "
"This is very happy! We must be together!"
Fang Ze:……
Good guy, as long as you have something to eat, will you be happy?
He couldn't help but retorted: "But you can also do this with friends. It's just eating and drinking, it's not just for two people. "
Fang Ze said: "Is there anything special? Only two people can do it."
The flower god said decisively: "Yes."
Fang Ze asked: "What?"
Flora straightened her chest, "I told you, 36F. Isn't this special enough? It's very big and soft. You can only touch it when they are together."
Fang Ze:???
Just like this, talking about her 36F love with the dirty god Flower God, Fang Ze slowly fell asleep until the early morning... And he was originally confused after talking to Bai Zhi's father, and now... he is even more confused.
Does it mean that... getting married requires 36F? Is this requirement too high?
What he didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the shadow of his love mentor, the Goddess of Flowers, had been sitting cross-legged on him, then looking at the moon outside the window, holding his chin and muttering to himself, "Love? What about that?" What a piece of shit."
The next morning, Fang Ze finished washing up under the maid's clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast. But just halfway through breakfast, Kuroba arrived, and he brought a gold-plated invitation. After taking the invitation, Fang Ze opened it and looked at it. The invitation was from the Jia family.
Apparently after being dragged down by Fang Ze for two days, the Jia family couldn't sit still, so they invited Fang Ze to meet again tonight. But what makes Fang Ze feel uncomfortable is that he has not achieved his goal in the past two days: his original idea was to meet with the Bai family publicly in the past two days, and even if they didn't reach an agreement, he could scare the Jia family first.
As a result, Bai Zhi's father obviously saw through Fang Ze's little plan, so he directly sent the key to the secret base, just to prevent Fang Ze from taking advantage of the Bai family's influence before Fang Ze made his position clear.
So now seeing the Jia family's invitation, Fang Ze had a headache for a while.
Black Feather was obviously aware of Fang Ze's tangled emotions. She sat next to Fang Ze and asked tentatively, "Young Master, how about... push it aside for now?"
Fang Ze held the invitation in his hand and hesitated. He wanted to push, but found that there was really no way to push...
Because now it's not just the Jia family's problem, but also the Sima family's problem.
According to Changqing’s information last night, the Sima family’s journey to heaven is about to begin tonight. And once Fang Ze fails to win over both of his allies, things will become extremely bad...
