Chapter 403: Elop
ps: It’s the last day of the month. How many votes can be repeated? The monthly votes are not enough. Everyone, hurry up and vote!
"Master, have you drunk too much?" Zi Jing asked quickly.
"No, how much is it to drink, Geman's head, let's continue?" Xiao Han pushed Zi Jing's little hand away.
"Okay, let's go!" German laughed happily.
"Mrs. Xiao, I think you don't persuade them, let them drink." Nan Ling snorted coldly, pulled Zijing over and said.
"But they..." Zi Jing said.
"For men, let's be women and stop interrupting!" Nan Ling said.
"The head of the German family, no, father-in-law, the son-in-law is polite here." Xiao Han felt it was fun, so he stood up and shakingly gave a big gift.
"Oh, I'm welcome to be polite!" German's old face flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't stand it. Although today's drunken words may not count, it would be a glorious place to make Xiao Han call him "Master-in-law" in this life.
"Come on. My father-in-law, we have the money and dowry matters!" Xiao Han pulled German and sat at the table again.
"What is the son-in-law planning to use as a gift?" German asked happily.
"How about three cities and one canal?" Xiao Han smiled, first stretched out three fingers, then raised one finger and said.
German's face changed slightly and he asked, "Those three cities?"
"Three cities, Maple Moon, Black Moon and Scythe Moon." Xiao Han picked up the wine glass and said.
"The son-in-law is lying to me. These three cities are from the Hei Shui Kingdom, not from your Dayue Kingdom." German smiled.
"These three cities are here wherever they are now. I will take them back in a few days. Don't worry, Father-in-law, I'll give you these three cities!" Xiao Han laughed and waved his hand.
German also laughed, but said in his heart that the Blackwater Kingdom is in trouble. This time, it is probably not just these three cities, but even the entire Blackwater Kingdom will be eaten. He continued to ask quietly: "Where is there a canal?"
The Ike family started with shipping, and they were extremely concerned about water and rivers, which was a natural way of nature.
"Hehe, go east from Fengma Lake, pass through the territory of Dayue Kingdom, then enter the current Black Water Kingdom, then enter the Doro Province, and then flow eastward into the Black Sea!" Xiao Han dipped some wine with his hand and roughly drew a winding Grand Canal route map on the table!
German was shocked when he heard this. What a big project it would be. It would definitely not be able to do without tens of billions of gold coins. However, once this project is completed, the benefits and impact on the surroundings of the canal are difficult to estimate. The output value of this canal will be an incalculable number. All that flows here are made of gold!
German was moved. The value of this canal is tens of times more valuable than that of the Canglang River. In fact, the other half of the Canglang River has been controlled by orcs. Humans can only sail along the waters in the south. Moreover, the water in the Canglang River is very fast, and sailing in some places is very dangerous. A canal with stable water is different. It is believed that there are no reefs or the like when the river is dug out. If this canal is dug out, it will be an absolute golden waterway!
What does it mean? Could it be that the actual master of the Great Yue Kingdom really wants to form an alliance with the Ike family? Or is it that he likes his own Rong Xin and then gets a kiss after the alliance?
With three cities plus a golden waterway, such a rich gift, I am afraid that even a super-power such as the Holy Sect of Light may not be willing to take it out, let alone a big family like the Situ family.
As the head of the family, German married the Ike family this time. In addition to ensuring the safety of the Ike family entering the Mega Empire, the conditions that the SiTu family could obtain were only one city at most, and the rest had to be managed by the Ike family themselves.
Xiao Han's conditions are too generous, and the thicker ones make people feel that it is not very real. Of course, the good conditions are one aspect, but the actual interests are very complicated. You can never draw conclusions by comparing the conditions.
"My father-in-law, what do you think?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
"It's great, but the cost of digging the canal?" German asked with a shrewd look in his eyes.
"Since it's a gift, of course it's the son-in-law who paid the money." Xiao Han smiled and digging the canal was beneficial to Xiao Han. Besides, although the money was huge, it didn't necessarily require him to bear it. He only promised the Ike family's management rights on the canal, but the management rights were still in his hands.
Besides, the canals are divided into sections, and each section belongs to different places. If you cannot take it away or move it, it cannot belong to only someone or a certain family.
Such generous conditions fully demonstrate the other party's sincerity, but German also knew that it was not difficult to dig a canal, and it was rare to keep the canal from falling into the hands of the orcs. Once Xiao Han could not resist the orcs' powerful offensive, the conditions he mentioned were simply flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.
The Ike family would rather choose a safer alliance than a big painting pie.
Painting cakes is indeed tempting, but they cannot satisfy hunger and live a life. In other words, the Ike family cannot afford to bet or lose!
If it were Geman's family of three, he would choose to gamble without hesitation. Anyway, he would have nothing, but if there was so many people in the family, he would not have such a gambler mentality, which would bring the family into a place of doom.
"Is it because my father-in-law is not satisfied with the son-in-law's gift?" Xiao Han continued to joke.
"No, this gift is too generous, I dare not accept it." German said.
"My father-in-law is afraid of the one who is ahead of you?" Xiao Han laughed.
"I made my son-in-law laugh. Although I am Rong Xin's father, her marriage matters have to be decided by my ancestors." German smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, your aristocratic family has this regulation?" Xiao Han said strangely, "You are the head of the family and Rong Xin's father, why can't you decide on the major events of your daughter's marriage?"
"This..." German sighed, "I'm not to hide it from the son-in-law, if you become my son-in-law, I will be happy for a hundred people, but the old man is too stubborn. Even if he decides, I can't change the things he decides. Over the years, what I, as the head of the family, has done is really boring!"
"It's boring, why are you doing it?" Nan Ling snorted.
"I don't do it. Who does it?" German asked back.
"There are more people who can be the head of the Ike family. None of your brothers are staring at your position. It turns out that people are rushing to be puppets and punching bags. Just give them the blame, and you will suffer this for nothing!" Nan Ling said angrily.
"You said it easy. If I don't do it, can the old man agree?" German said.
"What else can he do to you if he doesn't agree?" Nan Ling asked, "Some people think that they can't be the head of the family. You don't want to be the head of the family, can he still force you if he can?"
"Madam, it's not as simple as you think." German smiled bitterly. The complex relationships in this aristocratic family are really annoying. If he didn't become the head of the family, would their mother and daughter have the status and status they are today?
"I think you have been the head of the puppet family for 30 years. You are worthy of the Ike family and your old man. No, let's step down and let the old man be the head of the family by himself. Anyway, he is healed now, and it will be no problem to live for hundreds of years!" Nan Ling said.
"Madam, do you really dare to think about it?" Geman didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Nan Ling was really too savvy.
"You said that the old man always issued an order through you. Are he tired? Just give the power directly to him to avoid being upset!" Nan Ling couldn't lock up as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Madam, stop saying it. I have heard what you said hundreds of times. If these words reach the old man's ears, I should be scolded again." German quickly reached out to signal Nan Ling to stop.
Nan Ling is from the Nan family. Although she is a grandson-daughter-in-law, she still has half of the other person's family. The matter of disciplined her daughter-in-law is naturally the matter of grandson Geman. Whatever the wife does is not good and what she says is too ugly. The old man taught her grandson, Geman, which makes Geman feel even more difficult to be a human being!
"It's light to scold you. Who made you so brave? Why don't you dare to tell the old man that you don't want to do it anymore? Who wants to do it?" Nan Ling said without permission.
"My father-in-law, mother-in-law, can you two pause for a while? Listen to my son-in-law?" Xiao Han hurriedly intervened and mediated. If this continued quarrel, he was afraid that the two of them would blow up the small restaurant.
"Hmph. Tell me, but don't let my mother-in-law shout, I didn't agree to marry my daughter to you!" Nan Ling said angrily.
Xiao Hanxin said, I really want to marry your daughter without saying that, you don’t know yet, you have to be the most powerful woman in the world, and you don’t know if she can survive. Why am I provoking her?
"Geman's head, I think your wife is right. Instead of doing it, why not stop doing it? With the head of the family's wealth, you can be a happy free man everywhere, right?" Xiao Han smiled.
Since Xiao Han officially called him "Geman's head", Geman also changed his words: "Lord Xiao, it's not that I don't want to do this head of the family. In fact, I have wanted to quit. But the old man gave orders all day long, and I can't do it anymore. I also want to hand over the power, but who should I give it to? The old man retreated behind the scenes to manipulate him, and he definitely didn't want to go to the front desk. I also have a few brothers, but when they saw the old man, they looked like mice and cats. Not to mention being the head of the family, they even shivered in the serious words in front of the old man."
"Hmph, you are only capable. Why can't you leave the old man behind and take over the power?" Nan Ling sneered.
"You think I don't want to, but the Ike family really can't withstand internal strife. If I resist the old man, I will definitely lose a lot. Which of the older generation in the family is not used by the old man. They listen to the old man's words more than me, the head of the family." German shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Besides, the old man is also guarding against me. I am every word and action, every step away, and I am completely aware of the old man's eyes, without waiting for implementation. How can you fight me in such a situation?" German said.
It was really a misfortune for Geman to have such an ancestor. Many of the emperors in history were foolish but they were so desperate that they were still suspicious of their own sons. In order to prevent their son from usurping the throne, they could do everything.
This old man Longqin is really not an ordinary love right!
"I think you married into the Nan family back then, so I saved the trouble now." Nan Ling rarely said sarcastic.
"I think about it, but the old man refused!" German said shyly after a red face.
"By the way, why do you want to come to me alone?" Nan Ling asked strangely.
"The old man said you always live in Nanshan. Others thought our Ike family abused you, so we must let me take you back to live." German explained.
"If you want to go back, I won't go back!" Nan Ling said decisively.
"If you don't go back, I won't go back!" said German. "The old man's order this time is that if you don't go back, I won't even think about entering the gate of Ike's house."
"The sun hits the west, will the old man give you such an order?" Nan Ling said in disbelief.
"I came with the old man. He gave orders in front of so many people, so what is there to be fake?" German said. In fact, he was also wondering, how could the old man give such an order for no reason?
However, this order was not a bad thing for him, so he simply did not think too much.
"So if I don't go back with you, you won't go back?" Nan Ling said.
Man nodded.
"I won't go back with you. Whether you go back or not is your own business, I don't care." Nan Ling said with a snorting.
"That happens to be right. I haven't been together with my wife for a long time." German said happily.
"Who wants to get together with you?" Nan Ling said with a slight tone. She was quite willing in her heart, but she was still holding on.
"Master of German, Madam, I think it's still early. Can we part with you?" Xiao Han said.
"Yes, it's getting late, and the head of the German family and his wife are going back to rest. We shouldn't disturb you anymore." Zi Jing also said with a smile.
"Lord Xiao, sorry, I'm sorry, my husband and I just talked to you and made you laugh." German said embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. The head of the German family and his wife sounded like they were arguing. In fact, I could feel the strong relationship between the two, which was very touching." Xiao Han said.
"Lord Xiao, Madam Xiao, come to my place again?" Nan Ling said with a sincere invitation.
"This?" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, because they had to catch up with Gala and others in front of them and could not stay too much.
"It's better not to disturb the head of the family and the wife, we should leave." Xiao Han thought for a while and declined.
"City Lord Xiao and his wife are leaving now?" German asked in surprise.
"Well, we are going to rush back overnight. Something happened at home." Xiao Han found an excuse and said.
"That's right, then I won't try to keep you anymore." Nan Ling said.
"Lord Xiao, what's going on with money?" German asked.
"Geman, do you really want to marry your daughter to Lord Xiao?" Nan Ling said angrily, not seeing that there are people around him.
