Chapter 778
At least Feng Ang couldn't laugh as cheerfully as before. Feng Ang earnestly said: "I hope that the county magistrate's impression of the Feng family will not be affected by yesterday's incident!"
If there is no impact at all, Su Cheng said: "How could it be? The old Duke is fair and strict in his family. I admire him very much. Please give me a gift from the old Duke. Today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha in your place to thank the old Duke for his kind hospitality during this period!"
Feng Ang and Feng Zhidai sat down. Feng Ang said straight to the point: "I will not hide it from the county lord. In fact, I am very interested in going out to sea and I really want to ask the court to set up a Maritime Department in Guangzhou City."
"Of course, going to sea must start from scratch, and it must be very difficult. The county magistrate knows a lot about going to sea, so our Feng family is also willing to cooperate with the county magistrate. The Feng family's fleet accounts for 60% of the county magistrates and 40% of the county magistrates. How about it?"
Su Cheng heard this but did not respond. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Since the old Duke meets you honestly today, I will be heart-to-heart."
Feng Ann smiled and nodded, "That's what it should be!"
Su Cheng pondered: "The greed of a gentleman will be killed for five generations, the temple of the emperor will be preserved for seven generations. How long will the old Duke think the Feng family will last?"
Feng Ang's face was calm when he heard this, but instead he looked thoughtful, but Feng Zhidai couldn't help but change his face.
What does Su Cheng mean?
What does the Feng family last for how long?
Is this cursing their Feng family?
Feng Zhidai couldn't help but say, "Although there is a saying that a gentleman's deceased for five generations, there are also aristocratic families that have lasted for hundreds of years and are still prosperous!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "What you said is right, but the Feng family and the aristocratic families are different."
Feng Ang was not only not angry when he heard Su Cheng say this, but instead asked more interested: "I don't know what the county magistrate has?"
Su Cheng pondered: "It is true that the aristocratic family has lasted for hundreds of years, but their foothold is not power, this is the biggest difference from your Feng family."
Feng Zhidi couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this. Could it be that Su Cheng wanted to persuade their Feng family to give up the power of Lingnan?
This is so whimsical that the Feng family has let down the power of Lingnan by words. Su Cheng and the emperor are too whimsical?
Of course, Feng Zhidae's change in expression could not escape Su Cheng's eyes. He pondered: "I went south to Jiangnan without taking any other tasks, I was just a simple chat!"
"The Feng family is now deeply loved by the people in Lingnan. Why? Because of Lady Xian's kindness, because of the Feng family protecting the people in troubled times."
"But, after two generations, how many people can still remember the kindness of the Feng family? Can the descendants of the old Duke still have the ability and virtue of the old Duke? In addition, the imperial court will not give up its infiltration into Lingnan!"
"Lingnan itself has a strong custom and does not accept education. Those who live in deep mountains and forests often create wars."
"The Feng family's power in Lingnan will also be coveted by other families. As far as I know, Lingnan has never had any long-lasting clan."
The more Feng Zhidai's face becomes, the worse his face becomes.
Feng Ang's face did not change much. In fact, he didn't think about what Su Cheng said.
Feng Ang said sincerely: "So, according to the Duke of the County, how many years can our Feng family flourish?"
"It won't last more than a hundred years!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Feng Ang's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but Feng Zhidai's expression changed drastically and he said in a lost voice: "A hundred years? The Duke of County is so alarmist!"
Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Is it an alarmist statement? Actually, I am a polite word when I say "a hundred years!"
Feng Zhidi almost vomited blood after hearing this. Are you still polite? Why don’t you say that the Feng family building will collapse?
Too much! Too much!
Feng Zhidai said dissatisfiedly: "It's still more than a hundred years? Why don't you say that our Feng family is finished soon?"
Feng Ang waved his hand to signal Feng Zhi to shut up and asked calmly: "What if I don't say polite words? Even though the county duke opened his mouth, I, Feng Ang, still have this kind of mind! In fact, I have been thinking about this issue."
Su Cheng shrugged slightly and said, "Fifty years! In fact, after the old Duke passed away, it will be a great test for the Feng family. Without the reputation of the old Duke, the influence and control of the Feng family in Lingnan will definitely gradually weaken. After all, the Feng family is not the King of Lingnan. If the name is not right, it is not smooth. Now it is just relying on the reputation of the old Duke!"
Feng Zhidi looked dissatisfied when he heard this. Of course, he was the one who passed away to inherit the family business. When Su Cheng said that he thought he would lose the family business!
Feng Ann sighed: "The second child is calm, the third child is very wise, and the fourth child is brave. My husband's third son is not mediocre, but after all, they have not experienced the tempering of troubled times. They are indeed not as deep as the hearts of the people, and it is better for me to convince the public."
Feng Zhidi wanted to speak but stopped hearing this. Although he was confident that he could keep his family business, the old man said that he was not as convinced as the old man, so he could not refute this.
Su Cheng pondered: "The Feng family now stands in power and control over Lingnan, but opening the sea can give the Feng family another pillar!"
"No, to be precise, opening the sea is a pillar for the entire Lingnan. The Feng family has the right to speak and influence in going to the sea in Lingnan. The benefits to the Feng family are self-evident, and the court is not afraid of this."
Feng Ann nodded slightly after hearing this, which was also the reason why he would rather give up his marriage with aristocratic family than cooperate with Su Cheng to start a sea.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's the same for me where to open the sea. Of course, it's good for me to cooperate with the Feng family, otherwise I won't come to Lingnan. Even if I don't cooperate with the Feng family, I'm just a few years late. I'll save enough sea boats before going out to sea! But for the Feng family, it would be a pity to miss this opportunity!"
Feng Zhidai said: "When you go out to sea a few years later, the county lord will be behind you. Although it is only a few years, can the county lord afford to wait?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Can you wait!"
"Do you think going to sea is so easy? It takes a year to go to sea. If you don't know the sea route, you won't be able to find a sea route for less than three or five years!"
Feng Zhidi couldn't help but speak out when he heard this. The sea was vast. If he didn't know that the sea was running around like a headless fly, it would be really not easy to find the sea.
In fact, after Su Cheng said so much, Feng Ann understood what it meant, but he just wanted to make a request.
Feng Ang asked seriously: "I don't know what the county duke has to ask?"
Su Cheng slowly stretched out his two fingers and said calmly: "I want to account for 80%!"
Account for 80%?
"What? Eighty percent?" Feng Zhidi jumped up after hearing this.
Giving up 60% is already the limit of their Feng family, and Su Cheng actually said 80%!
Even if the lion opens his mouth, it won’t be so big!
Even if you ask for a price all over the place, it is not the way to do it!
It's simply too much to deceive others!
