Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "If it's just the beginning, it shouldn't have any effect. At most, they'll just come and ask. But if it goes on for a long time, it will inevitably cause that young master's dissatisfaction."
"That's right."
Zhang Feng nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let them be dissatisfied. At the beginning, there may not be any effect, but after a long time, they will definitely come to question me …"
Speaking of this, he sneered, "And I will avoid meeting them and not reveal any information. If they can't get any information from me, they will suspect that person. In this way, won't the conflict between the two sides arise?"
"That's right."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this plan. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed, "There is a conflict, but … the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are not stupid. They will not shed all pretense of cordiality because of such a small matter. After all, their businesses are still very big. This is nothing at all."
Zhang Feng nodded, and said with a dignified expression, "You are right. The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are not fools. They will not be so easily fooled. That's why I just said to give them benefits first. First, give them more goods, give them as much as they want. Once they taste the sweetness, then suddenly reduce one of them. This will cause them to have a conflict. Moreover, not only this, but also use other methods to break up their forces."
"What methods?"
Li Shimin asked subconsciously.
"Rumors."
Zhang Feng sneered, "The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes seem to love each other like a family, but secretly, who can guarantee that they are not scheming against each other?"
"That makes sense."
Li Yuan's eyes were half narrowed, and he stroked his sparse beard. Because Feng Zi's words just happened to speak to the bottom of his heart. Indeed, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were usually very harmonious, but secretly, they did not do little shady business.
Although it was said that they supported each other and loved each other, every time when it came to dividing huge benefits, they would often see through the facade. However, this was often a quarrel between the younger generation of the clan. Finally, when it came to decision-making, the people in power in the clan would come forward, and in the end, it would end with a smile, thus dividing the benefits.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the one who understood the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes the most.
But soon, he thought of another point. Even if there were huge benefits, the people who would be in conflict were usually some of the younger generation. The older generation's leaders were still very clear-sighted. Generally, they would not be so impulsive. It was hard to say whether Feng Zi's plan would succeed.
Thinking about this, he looked deeply at Zhang Feng and said faintly, "Feng Zi, you are right. Usually, there will be some conflicts between the big clans, but the people in power are not blind. They are not that easy to fool. Do you have a hundred percent confidence in this plan?"
"There's a 100% chance that it won't work out, but …"
Zhang Feng narrowed his eyes, obviously pondering over Li Yuan's words earlier. Indeed, those who are able to wield authority in the clan are all dragons and phoenixes among men, how could they be so easily fooled? Just as he was thinking, he suddenly had an idea and hurriedly said, "Those people in power do have some brains, but they probably didn't think that they would be tricked by themselves, right?"
"What do you mean? Do you have people with five surnames and seven looks? "
Li Shimin's eyes widened as he hurriedly said.
"No, no, no …"
Zhang Feng waved his hand and shook his head with a smile, "As the saying goes, a thousand mile dike can be destroyed by an ant's nest. Don't look at how these hedonistic sons usually have nothing to do, but they are the first line of defense of the five surnames and seven looks, and also the most important line of defense. As long as we take them down first, then it will be much more convenient."
"What do you mean? You want to deal with the hedonistic sons of the five surnames and seven looks first? "
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Feng, somewhat in disbelief. Because in his opinion, since Feng Zi wants to take action from the population and industry, then what's the use of dealing with hedonistic sons?
But unexpectedly, Zhang Feng did not care at all, and smiled, "That's right, I just said, we have to take action from the population and industry first. The breakthrough of population is those hedonistic sons, because they are the younger generation of the five surnames and seven looks, the inheritance of the five surnames and seven looks is basically on them. If we can instigate one or two of them, then for us, it is still very effective."
Hearing up to here, Li Shimin finally understood. So this kid is planning to instigate one or two hedonistic sons of the five surnames and seven looks, but how could it be so easy? Those fellows are all arrogant, and instigate them?
He looked at Zhang Feng with a puzzled expression, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Moreover, what can hedonistic sons do?"
"Then you're wrong."
Zhang Feng smiled, looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Instigation is not easy, but hedonistic sons are very useful. Think about it, to be able to become hedonistic sons, most of them have a certain status in the clan. Since they have a status, then they have good resources, manpower, and so on. If we can rope them in, we can get the latest information as soon as possible. This way, we won't be flustered before things happen."
Li Shimin nodded and smiled bitterly, "That's true, but how are you going to instigate them?"
