"Brother Jiang Fan, I don''t understand why Qian Sihai has to pay such a high price. The Qian family is already so rich. What else can I bet on?"


    Out of the door of Qian''s house, Lin Wanqing asked curiously.


    "Do you know Shen Wansan?"


    Jiang Fan said without a head.


    "Shen Wansan? What?"


    Lin Wanqing was a little confused.


    "It''s not a thing... No, it''s easy to say. Where''s Shen Wansan... It''s a personal name. Since you haven''t heard of him, just think of him as a character in the story. In short, this man is very rich, very rich, the richest in the whole world."


    Jiang Fan thought about it and told it in a way that Lin Wanqing could understand.


    "Very rich? Is it richer than the money family?"


    Lin Wanqing asked curiously.


    Jiang Fan was stunned, and immediately said with some uncertainty, "this... Should be richer than the Qian family? But I don''t know how much money the Qian family has. You can just take Shen Wansan as the Qian family."


    "Oh, and then?"


    Lin Wanqing nodded and then asked.


    "Then ah, listen to me slowly. Shen Wansan has a huge family wealth, but he happens to be in troubled times. So in order to keep his wealth, he subsidizes some separatist forces. He uses countless money to help some separatist forces recruit troops and horses."


    "However, these days did not last long, and the troubled times ended. All separatist forces were defeated by a king. The new country was established, and Shen Wansan became the richest man in the new country."


    Jiang Fan shook his head and walked down the street. He continued, "the new country was established at the beginning, and there are hundreds of wastes waiting to prosper. Considering that he had funded some separatist forces in the troubled times, Shen Wansan wanted to perform well in front of the new country emperor, so he took the initiative to help the new country emperor establish the outer city of the country capital."


    "If you think about it, how much would it take to build a national capital? As a result, in order to express his sincerity, Shen Wansan not only built the outer city, but also took much less time than the Emperor himself to find someone to build the imperial palace. Even the materials for building the city were better than those for the imperial palace."


    "Later, Shen Wansan was not satisfied. He felt that he had too much money. He was just building a city. Where could this be? Since he had made a decision to please the emperor of the new country, he might as well do it thoroughly. So he served the emperor of the new country and said he was willing to take out a huge amount of gold and silver to reward the millions of troops at the beginning of the new country."


    "Wow?! after building a city, you have to reward millions of troops?! how rich it is."


    Lin Wanqing was shocked.


    "Isn''t it, and even such a huge expense is only a small part of Shen Wansan''s wealth."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    "And then?"


    Lin Wanqing couldn''t wait to ask.


    "Then he died."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    Lin Wanqing: "?"


    Looking at Jiang Fan''s lack of beating, Lin Wanqing couldn''t help gritting his teeth and said with hatred: "why? Is this Shen Wansan also your friend? Many of your friends seem to have died? I don''t have a good temper like xiaonuan. If I get angry with me, I''ll beat you!"


    "Cough, I''m not kidding. Shen Wansan is really dead. The emperor of the new country copied him home."


    Jiang Fan coughed twice and said.


    "Really dead? Why? He built the capital for the new emperor and rewarded millions of troops. Why did the new emperor kill him?"


    Lin Wan was stunned and asked with an incomprehensible face.


    "He built the outer city with better materials and shorter time than the Imperial Palace, which made the new emperor very dissatisfied. As for giving a huge amount of gold and silver to reward millions of troops, it made the emperor even more unhappy. As a civilian, you actually want to reward the army? What do you want? Do you want to buy the morale of the army?"


    Jiang Fan said.


    "This... It''s obviously not. It''s obviously just that I want to spend money to buy the emperor of the new country. I''m happy."


    Lin Wanqing said in a daze.


    "Yes, everyone knows that Shen Wansan just wants to make the emperor of the new country happy. The emperor of the new country knows it himself, but the emperor of the new country has to pretend not to know. If you want to add crime, why don''t you have words? Even without such an excuse, you can easily find other excuses. In short, Shen Wansan must die, and the massive wealth must belong to the emperor of the new country."


    Jiang Fan spread out his hands and then said, "since you want to reward the army, instead of asking you to donate money and things to reward, why don''t you take all these wealth back to the state treasury and distribute it personally by my emperor? Do you think so?"


    Lin Wanqing blinked and thought for a while. Only then did he finally understand what Jiang Fan wanted to say.


    But still a little incredible, he asked, "brother Jiang Fan, do you mean that Qian Sihai wanted to gamble because the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty might want to kill him?"


    "It''s not possible, it''s certain. The only difference is that sooner or later, I believe Qian Sihai made the same judgment as me. Therefore, what he used to tempt me is food, not his invincible wealth."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    "I... still don''t understand."


    Lin Wanqing said vaguely.


    "If it''s like telling me about your Lin family, I won''t understand it. But now that I know about your Lin family, I may understand some. Businessmen often know the most secrets in the world, so it''s normal for Qian Sihai to doubt. But for the time being, it can only be in the stage of tacit understanding with each other, and it''s impossible to really find out."


    Jiang Fan said ambiguously.


    Lin Wanqing still didn''t understand, but when she planned to get to the bottom, an unexpected situation appeared in front of her.


    A young scholar in a robe was suddenly thrown out of the main door of a teahouse in front of her and Jiang Fan.


    He fell to the ground and splashed a piece of dust.


    The two strong men who still brought out the young scholars stood outside the main door of the teahouse with arms and chest, and their faces were full of abusive smiles.


    "What arrogance do you southerners have? Nobody bullies us in Heyang! It''s outrageous!"


    The young scholar fell to the ground and shouted with a embarrassed face and anger.


    "As we have said before, what we compare is the ability to write poetry and lyrics. If you lose, you have to be thrown out of the teahouse. Since you agree, you will be punished if you lose. Why? Can''t you beiren afford to lose?"


    On the window of the second floor of the teahouse, an equally young head poked out and said with a smile.
