The autumn rain is like silk, and the autumn wind is together, and there are bursts of chill hitting the heart.

Pedestrians on the street are hurrying through the wind and rain, and there is really the smell of passers-by wanting to break their souls.

A carriage came at a gentle gallop, and the four horses were set around, and they drove smoothly and steadily.

If you look at it, you don't think there is anything unusual about this car, the car is very elegantly made, but it is not prosperous. The car was wide and large, but there were very few materials and decorations. This is really not a conspicuous car in a place where wealthy businessmen gather in Lianghuai. However, in this car, sitting was Pan Qiren, the head of the Pan family, the largest salt merchant in Lianghuai.

The two Huai salt farms are distributed along the Yellow River north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu, the north of the Huai River is called the Huaibei Salt Field, and the south of the Huai River is called the Huainan Salt Field, which is the largest salt field in the history of our country.

There are many salt farms in Lianghuai, and there are many rich people, but if you talk about the longevity of the name and the wealth of the family, the Pan family is the leader. It is said that the Pan family salt field existed as early as the early years of the Song Dynasty, and after so many years, the heritage of the Pan family can be imagined. Therefore, there are many rich people in Lianghuai, and the Pan family is like a noble family among the rich, whether it is style, taste, or sitting and walking, it is far from being comparable to those nouveau riche.

The car of the head of the Pan family is unpretentious, because the Pan family no longer needs to decorate the façade with wealth. However, although the inside of the car does not look gorgeous, it is extremely spacious and comfortable, the table and a chair, a bed and a curtain, are under the erosion of the years, with a kind of precipitation of the years, as long as the vision is not too bad, who will look down on it because of the first glance, not the brilliant color.

Poon is over 60 years old, but he looks like he is in his early 40s, and he is very well maintained. He has a long figure, a clear appearance, a pair of eyes that are very bright, a very neatly combed long hair, a cyan robe, and a cyan gown, sitting in this car, the momentum is calm, but he has a kind of imperial majesty. Here, he is the emperor, there are countless salt merchants in the two Huai, many of whom are rich and rival the country, and behind these people there is a huge political force, and the king of these people is Pan Qiren.

Seeing the master's car coming back from a distance, the two men ran out with umbrellas, opened the gate, stood by the door and bowed down to welcome the master to enter the door, and the carriage chief bowed straight in, and when the car entered, the gate slammed shut again. This is only a side door, and the door is so big, but it is ten times wider than the main entrance of ordinary people's homes. Two welcome pines at the door, into the yard, straight a long road, but on both sides of the planting is the sycamore of the brush.

The car drove to a stop under the corridor at the end of the road, the pedals were lowered, and as soon as the car door opened, Pan Qiren slowly walked out of the car and stood firmly on the ground. A steward of the Pan family wearing a robe, who was elegant and elegant, looked like a master of Shaoxing, gently teased the front of the robe to meet him, and hugged the old man Pan. Pan Qiren's body is still very good, and he doesn't need help, and he doesn't really care about it, but when these two people raise their arms and join hands, it is very natural, and they don't feel pretentious at all.

Under the dripping eaves on both sides of the corridor, the rain is like a curtain, "poofing" on the fat banana leaves under the corridor, and the two rows of lanterns hanging under the corridor that have not yet been lit are gently swaying in the wind and rain. The steward "embraced" the old man Pan forward, and reported on the other hand: "Master, there is a guest at home, and the third master is talking to him." ”

"Who is it?"

"This person has come to our house before, it is Huzhou Shen Wendu."

"Shen Wansan's son?"

Pan Qiren frowned slightly and said, "Go and meet!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The steward immediately took the old man and turned around and ran to the middle hall.

With such a sensitive identity as the Shen family, the Pan family can't touch it, and there is no need to touch it. When the Pan family was declining, Shen Wendu once approached the Pan family, wanting to take advantage of the cooperative friendship between the old man Pan and his father, and re-emerge with the help of the Pan family, but Pan Qiren categorically refused.

Therefore, as soon as Old Man Pan heard that his son was receiving Shen Wendu in the middle hall, he immediately realized that something must be wrong, otherwise his son would never dare to go against his will and talk to a person who refused to go with each other. I'm afraid that he will have to deal with this matter in person in the end, so he didn't even think about it, so he rushed there immediately. Such a family cannot tolerate mistakes in delay, and if a problem is found, it must be solved as soon as possible, he is the head of the family, and he must grasp the most direct information at the first time.

Shen Wendu was very proud, when he was desperate, he once took refuge in the Pan family, wanting to make a comeback with the help of the Pan family's power, but his cooperation proposal was categorically rejected by the old man Pan, which made Shen Wendu very humiliated, if his father was still alive, if the Shen family was still the original Shen family, the Pan family dared not treat him as a guest? Now I am ashamed to ask for it, but I am rejected!

Therefore, after he climbed the big tree of Ji Gang, he immediately thought of the Pan family. He came this time, not only to scavenge a scavenging stroke, out of this evil breath, but also did not have the intention of showing off, when I left here in disgrace, today I am going to raise my eyebrows here and find this field.

Pan Sanye is in his thirties, and at this moment, he is accompanying Shen Wendu to drink tea in the living room, and his heart is very anxious. When Shen Wendu first came to the door, he wanted to receive him and send him away, there is no need to think about cooperative business, if Shen Wendu really can't go on, thinking of the love of the two families in the past, it is not impossible to give him a few hundred Chengyi, who knows that Shen Wendu is indeed not here to talk about business, but to "beg", but he wants too much.

Shen Wendu opened his mouth widely, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for two million catties of salt, of course Pan Sanye would not think that Shen Wendu was crazy, and he was poor and crazy, he knew that Shen Wendu said this, and he must have some fear, and sure enough, he actually came on behalf of Jinyi Weidu to command Ji Gang. Pan Sanye couldn't be the master, he didn't dare to refuse him, nor could he give him two million catties of salt for nothing, so he had to drag him with a delaying tactic, and at the same time sent someone to find the old man to come back, but he didn't want to find someone and didn't come back, but the old man himself rushed back from outside.

"Shibo, I know you have to nod about this, and I've been waiting for you to come back!"

Shen Wendu smiled leisurely: "Two million catties, look, how is it?" ”

Pan Qiren's expression was calm, and he didn't have the slightest surprise when his son heard what Shen Wendu said, he didn't blink his eyelids, and said directly: "Nephew, since it was Lord Ji who opened his mouth, the old man has no reason to allow it. However, you also know my Ming salt method, and the salt produced in this salt farm is a fixed number. The old man asked his nephew to take away these two million catties of salt, and even though there were still some in the curry, there were not many, and they were all transferred to the salt envoy and the salt department, how should I deal with it? Since the nephew came here on the order of Lord Ji, this difficulty, Lord Ji should always solve it for the old decay, right? ”

Shen Wendu laughed, quite a kind of villain's frivolity: "Shibo, I know that just the name of Master Ji can't scare you!" Hehehe, maybe in Shibo's heart, he still thinks that I, Shen Wendu, am a fox and a fake tiger, and I am pretending to be Lord Ji to blackmail, right? ”

Old Man Pan smiled and said: "The nephew's words are heavy, it's only two million catties, which is not a small amount. The nephew asked the old man to take this batch of salt out, and the old man can indeed afford it, but if this salt is taken out, even if it can't be exchanged for white silver, it should be worth it, right? ”

"What is value?"

"Eliminate the disaster, not cause it!"

"Okay, good, good......"

Shen Wendu laughed again, he glanced at Pan Qiren triumphantly, touched it in his arms, found two things, gently put them on the table, pushed them to Pan Qiren's hand, and said proudly: "Shibo, you also know that Jinyiwei is directly doing things for the emperor, and this thing is done more, bigger, and secretive, and there are more places where you need to spend money, relying on the silver allocated by the household department, it is not enough!"

This matter, can no longer ask the household for money, so, the emperor issued a warrant, to transfer salt from the salt field, by the little nephew to come forward to operate, all the money obtained for military supplies, this matter Shibo knows good, you need to know the cause of the trouble, after all, it is not easy to say clearly, if the imperial envoy of the salt envoy and the lifting division know, the book is bitter, and the emperor's face is refuted, this matter is not easy to do. ”

"Well, the old man naturally knows!"

Pan Qiren picked up the waist card and looked at it, it was indeed the ivory waist card of the senior military attache of the Jinyi Guard, and then took the piece of paper and gently unfolded it, this was actually a warrant from the Yongle Emperor to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Gang, what he said was indeed the same as what Shen Wendu said, and there was a small seal of the Yongle Emperor underneath.

"Nephew, this warrant ......"

Shen Wendu said unhappily: Jinyi Night Walk, sketch "Shibo, Lord Ji's face, isn't it big enough?" If you want this warrant, then the little nephew will leave it for you, but if Master Ji is unhappy, Shibo, the little nephew can't afford to take care of you! The little nephew didn't believe it, with the Gu family's status in Taishan Beidou in the two Huai salt fields, this batch of salt was allocated, and the Gu family had no way to explain to the salt envoy! ”

Pan Qiren smiled: "The old man naturally knows the difficulties of the nephew. Well, since this is the emperor's will, how can I not agree? When will this batch of salt be requested? ”

"The sooner the better!"

"Cheng, give the old man three days to prepare, and after three days, you will come to pick up the salt!"

Shen Wendu was overjoyed, grabbed back the waist card and the warrant written by Emperor Yongle to Ji Gang, carefully put it back in his arms, and said excitedly: "Then don't bother, the little nephew will leave, and in three days, I will come to see Shibo again!" ”

Pan Qiren then stood up and said with a smile: "It's raining, and it's rare for my nephew to come to my Gu family, how can you just leave like this, stay for a light meal!" ”

Shen Wendu sneered in his heart: "Do you know how to slap me now?" ”

He said: "No, no, thank you Shibo, the little nephew still has a lot of things to do, so I'll leave." Shibo stays, and the brothers stay! ”

Pan Qiren stood under the dripping eaves, behind his waist with one hand, and stroked his beard with the other, looking thoughtfully at the rain and fog in front of him, and after a while, Pan Sanye, who sent Shen Wendu away, hurried back, waved back the servant with an umbrella for him, and said to Pan Qiren: "Father, let's promise him?" Two million pounds of salt, he ...... He's leaving! I just sent him out, and listening to what he meant, it seems...... It seems that it is not only this time, but maybe I will have to come to the door to ask for salt in the future, when will this be a head? ”

"Calm down in everything, what problem can you solve if you are so impatient?"

Old Man Pan glared at his son unhappily, turned around and went back to the living room, and Third Master Pan hurriedly followed.

"Early tomorrow morning, you go to the Salt Transit Department and the Salt Division to lift the Division, and the salt that should be delivered will have to be delayed."

"This ......"

Pan Sanye said: "Father, there are a lot of big and small businessmen from all over the country who come to the salt field with salt to attract salt, and I don't know how long this delay will last, they ......."

"We only have an explanation for the Salt Envoy Division and the Lifting Division, and we don't need to worry about this matter!"

"Yes!"

Pan Sanye lowered his hand and listened to the instructions, muttering a little in his heart. The salt law implemented by the Ming Dynasty was the Kaizhong method, which originated from the compromise method of the Song Dynasty. This is because transporting grain to the frontier is a long distance and a heavy cost, and it is a great burden, and there is also the issue of supervision. Therefore, the imperial court imposed this method, telling merchants to transport grain to the frontier on their own to replenish military supplies. After it arrives, it is distributed to salt according to the amount of grain and rice, and then the salt is brought to the salt factory to receive salt, and the salt is sold for profit.

In this way, the use of the power of salt merchants to transport grain to the border will not have any impact on the current system of the official government, and only a part of the profits will be transferred to the salt merchants, and the transportation of grain and salary can be completed by the merchants alone, and the official government will no longer have to invest any manpower and material resources, and can sit back and enjoy the results. At the same time, through the opening of the China Law, the effective mobilization of businessmen and the use of private capital to solve the problem of military transportation not only reduce the burden of forced labor on the people, but also promote the economic development of the border areas.

Therefore, these salt merchants from all over the country who are waiting to get salt are all kinds of people, including rice merchants and salt merchants who are very powerful in various places, and these people are also very powerful, so Pan Sanye is a little guilty.

Old Man Pan said again: "Also, if you want someone to keep an eye on Shen Wendu, he will never just look for us, and after he has found a few salt merchants, find a way to get his 'warrant', the means must be ingenious, not to let him know that it was stolen, but to 'damage'!" ”

Pan Sanye said in surprise: "Father, that's the emperor's warrant, let's ...... Let's take that ......, ah! ”

Pan Sanye said halfway through, his face changed, and he said in disbelief: "Father, do you mean ......?" ”

Old Man Pan said in a deep voice: "The Salt Envoy Division and the Salt Section Promotion Division both have the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Chen Ying's territory. If the emperor really issued such a warrant, do you think Ji Gang would go to great lengths to bypass these two salt law yamen and directly put pressure on us? Hum! Shen Wendu will directly find the salt envoy and the lifting division, just like Shen Wendu showed his authority to our Pan family, and showed his authority to Chen Ying! ”

Pan Sanye hurriedly said: "In this case, we shouldn't give him salt, that's two million catties!" ”

Old Man Pan shook his head and muttered: "The emperor's warrant can be fake, but this person sent by Ji Gang is not fake, we can't afford to offend!" When it comes to the status of our Gu family today, even if it hurts the muscles and bones, as long as it is not life and death, can we still fight with such an amazing minister? ”

Pan Sanye lowered his hand and said, "Yes!" It's just that...... In that case, let's ...... What are we still stealing that warrant for? ”

Old Man Pan glared at him angrily, shook his head and sighed: "Third brother, compared to your eldest brother and second brother, your experience is too little. Go ahead and do something, and one day, you'll understand! ”

Pan Sanye said ashamedly: "Yes, my son will arrange it!"

In the back garden of the Yang family, under the pomegranate tree, Xia Xun was lying on a leisurely chair, looking at the daughters playing among the flowers in front of him. Accompanying them were two turtle beauties, Celine and Jeanne. The two blond and blue-eyed women are already commonplace in the Yang family, and the children are not afraid of them, and they get along very well.

Now, the two girls are really adults, mature and charming, like two juicy and delicious honey peaches. Their skin is as milky as jade, but not as rough as Westerners, the development of the body, but far more three-dimensional than the Han girls, the skirt worn on their bodies, perfectly outline their proud posture, the waist is very fine, so that the curve of the buttocks even under the skirt, also looks extremely exaggerated convex, like two thin waist fat buttocks queen bee.

When they bend, dodge, and jump, the agility of the waist, the fullness of the fat buttocks, and the swaying of the crisp breasts will present the spring light that the man is fascinated by.

It's just that there are only two men at the scene, one is Xia Xun lying on the leisure chair, and the other is Dai Yubin, Dai Yubin doesn't dare to look at it, Xia Xun is ...... I didn't dare to look at it.

Because as long as his eyes meet the two girls, Celine and Jeanne, he will see a trace of resentment. Yes, if they tried to flatter Xia Xun in the past, the main purpose was to rely on him, but now that they are completely mature physically and mentally, they want a man even more. And in the Yang Mansion, apart from Xia Xun alone, who else dares to touch them?

So they want to be locked in the deep palace, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, women can only use that fiery and resentful eyes, glance at Xia Xun from time to time, and at the same time will stare at the "big eunuch" standing next to Xia Xun with hatred, if it weren't for this guy, they should have a chance to get close to the master.

Grandpa Dai ......, ah! Dai Yubin reported to Xia Xunyu without squinting: "It has been arranged according to the instructions of the Guogong, and soon the emperor will receive the news." ”

Xia Xun said "um" and said, "That's it, you are still mainly responsible for staring at the news from Ji Gang's side, and you can't relax in this matter!" ”

Dai Yubin agreed, and then hesitated: "Ji Gang has become more and more arrogant recently, and it has reached the point where there is no one in sight, the criminal evidence we have now, as long as enough force is mobilized, it is not enough to bring him down, is Guogong too cautious!" ”

Xia Xun said: "If you get a little something, shake a little something, that's a child's complaint!" A book of changing days, remembering everyone's problems, today's scenery is infinite, not necessarily without problems, or no one has found his problems, just because the official chess game still needs this chess piece, so the problem is not a problem, at this time, it may be injured. Only when this chess piece becomes a waste chess piece will its problem become a murder knife! Hehe, play chess, be patient! ”

As soon as he said this, a gust of wind blew, and on the tree overhead, a ripe pomegranate suddenly fell, Xia Xun held a hand, and the pomegranate fell steadily in his palm. And then he ran over.

Xia Xun smiled and handed the pomegranate to his daughter, and said to Dai Yubin: "Before the fruit is ripe, most of it tastes bitter, why not wait until it is ripe to taste it?" ”

The Xilin girl who ran after Si Xun happened to hear this, and a pair of big blue eyes glanced at Xia Xun even more resentfully, and said in her heart: "People are already mature, why doesn't the master taste it?" ”
