Under the candlelight, when Fang Zi'an told Qin Xiqing about his plan to make a lot of money without concealment, Qin Xiqing was speechless in surprise.

"Zi'an, you are actually planning such a thing behind your back, I don't know at all. It's incomprehensible that you're doing that. Don't you want to be a career? It's not that you have to be a businessman again. ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not interested in being a merchant, I'm just interested in silver." I want to make a lot of money. ”

Qin Xiqing frowned and said, "Are you very short of silver?" ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Of course it is missing." Do you think I can live in this big house with peace of mind and spend your money? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "Why can't you? You lack money, and I will give it to you. You don't have to do such a thing, you should study hard and prepare for the spring exam, instead of spending time doing business. ”

Fang Zi'an laughed and said: "Xiqing, I am a man, I spend your money to live in the house you bought for me, do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Qin Xiqing frowned and said, "Why not?" Do you feel like it hurts your self-esteem? Are you afraid of being told to eat soft rice? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Don't say it so directly, okay?" But you're right, I really don't want to eat soft rice. ”

Qin Xiqing said softly: "You still dislike me after all." Do you think my money is dirty and not coming from the right way? Or do you think I'm going to control you with money and make you feel stressed? ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where do you start with this?" You're really thinking too much. I just don't want to spend your money. I said, I'm a man, I have my self-esteem, I can't spend my woman's money to be at ease. As a man, I want to earn money to support myself. ”

Qin Xiqing said: "What's mine is yours, what's the difference?" ”

Fang Zi'an scratched his head and smiled bitterly, the reason seemed to make no sense, and after a conversation, he finally returned to the entanglement of chickens and eggs. Qin Xiqing will think that she dislikes her, but she is really generous to herself, which also shows that she is completely in love with herself.

Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zi'an's sad and helpless appearance, and suddenly laughed out loud: "That's it, you can do whatever you like, you men, all of you want to save face, as if you can't hold your head up for the rest of your life with a woman's money." I suppose you are still planning to return to me even the money you bought for this house after you have earned the money? This is a way to show me what you are capable of and not let me look down on you, isn't it? ”

Fang Zi'an said angrily: "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?" How do you know? ”

Qin Xiqing sighed: "How could I not know. I, Qin Xiqing, am not a fool. It's just a joke with you, if you want to do it, just do it. Do you need my help? Actually, you don't have to buy a broken ship for smuggling, if you want to do this business, buy a few boats, and I'll introduce you to a few shipowners, and they will lead the way. Where does it need to be so complicated. ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "Then you don't understand, if you do that, I might as well reach out to you directly and ask for silver." Besides, doing that not only makes you owe favors to others, but also greatly reduces your profits. The reason why I want to take the risk of smuggling is because I can maximize the profits, and I can at least double the profit without going through the market. That's where the fun comes in. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said: "That's what I said, I know that the eight major shipping companies of the Great Song Dynasty almost monopolized the entire trade of Fanguo, and shared the huge profits with the city's shipping company." The young proprietor of Lin'an's Linjia shipping company once said that their major shipping companies deliberately only ship 50 ships a year, just to raise the price of goods and make huge profits. The city shipping company did not buy their goods at a fair price for the eight major shipping companies, but allowed them to raise the price of overseas goods, and then split the accounts with the shipping companies. There are so many famous halls here. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned when he heard this, and scolded: "Damn, these profiteers." How dare you do that? Isn't the city under their control? ”

"Control what? How could they control it? The city department is nominally under the jurisdiction of local transfer envoys, but in fact, it is all promoted by the government affairs hall. Qin Hui and his party firmly controlled this cash cow and shared the benefits with the big ship. It is said to be a parity purchase by the city, but it is all fooling. The city's income from finance and taxation is limited, and the rest is divided among them. Anyway, the people of the Great Song Dynasty should be wronged. Fanguo spices ivory gems are sold at a ridiculously high price, and the spices used in the palace often have to be bought from the outside market at a high price. The finances, taxes, and silver paid inside and outside were all spit back in this way. Qin Xiqing said softly.

Fang Zi'an was really eye-opening, it turned out that there were still such dirty deeds and fame here. According to this, the city has become a private money-making tool for Qin Hui and the ship. Keeping a cash cow in the Great Song Dynasty to manage overseas trade as his own, the imperial court's annual income is extremely limited, and most of the money is given by these vampires, which is simply crazy.

"So, I used to feel a little guilty about smuggling, but now I don't have any guilt. This silver can't reach the treasury of the imperial court at all, and I can be regarded as taking food from the mouths of these moths. Fang Zi'an said.

Qin Xiqing said: "If you want to think so, it's okay, but Xiqing feels that you seem to be too optimistic about this matter." I warn you, you're stealing food from their mouths. If they find out, then they really sent a handle to Qin Hui to kill you. Especially now, when they are eager to find your handle, you take the initiative to send it forward. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Then you have to catch my handle." How could I let them catch the evidence of my smuggling? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "Don't talk too much. The imperial navy was stationed on Zhoushan Island, and they would strictly check the ships going to sea. If you are careless, something will happen. ”

Fang Zi'an was shocked when he heard this, but secretly tightened. This is something that needs to be taken seriously. Since this matter involves Qin Hui and others, then this plan to go to sea should be arranged more secretively and properly, and they must not be caught, otherwise they are afraid that they will really die.

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Xiqing saw that the night was dark, so she got up to say goodbye. Before parting, the two warmed up for a while, and Fang Zi'an sent Qin Xiqing away. After seeing Qin Xiqing's carriage leave, when he turned around, Lao Huang handed Fang Zi'an a stack of silver tickets.

"What is this?" Fang Zi'an was surprised.

"Miss Qin gave it to me, and asked me to hand it over to Gongzi. Said that Childe needs silver. "Old Zodiac.

Fang Zi'an was surprised: "When, how come I don't know?" ”

"Just when I waited for Miss Qin to get into the car, didn't you see it?" Old Zodiac.

Fang Zi'an stood in the courtyard with the stack of silver tickets in a daze, quite grateful in his heart. During the conversation, Qin Xiqing already knew her plan and knew that she had spent a lot of energy and silver to prepare for this matter. She should have guessed that she had spent almost all the silver on the cabinet, so she left the silver taels for Lao Huang and asked him to transfer them to herself. She wouldn't ask for it until she didn't open her mouth, so she handed it over through Lao Huang.

Fang Zi'an counted the silver tickets, and it was five thousand taels. I really exceeded the budget, and I spent nearly 3,000 taels of silver on shipbuilding and repairing ships. Next, there are expenses such as buying goods, hiring carriages, horses, and labor, and the remaining less than two thousand taels is not enough at all. On the way back, Fang Zi'an was thinking about what to do, whether to go to the future father-in-law, Lao Zhang, to get a few hundred taels of silver for emergency relief, but he didn't expect Qin Xiqing to give so much silver like timely rain. In this way, the subsequent expenses are much more relaxed.

Fang Zi'an sighed softly and was moved, Qin Xiqing was an extremely smart woman who knew what she needed. Being able to meet him is really the creation of this life. Fang Zi'an secretly made up his mind that he would never let Qin Xiqing down, and he must do this thing.

……

The next morning, Fang Zi'an found the Yonghe Inn in Beicheng. asked Qian Kang's name on the counter, and the store guy immediately went to the guest room to call someone. Fang Zi'an waited in the lobby of the inn for less than a moment, then saw Qian Kang coming in quickly through the back door, and saw Fang Zi'an shouting loudly.

"Brother Zi'an, oops, it's really you, I guess it's you who came to me."

Fang Zi'an stepped forward with a smile, and was about to bow his hand, but Qian Kang stepped forward with a bear hug, hugged Fang Zi'an's arm and didn't let go, laughing in his mouth. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, as well as the two guests in the lobby, all looked at each other in surprise when they saw the two big men hugging each other, and their expressions were quite playful.

"Brother Qian, why did you come to the capital? It's still very early before the big exam, how many days have you been back in Yuhang? Why did you come to the capital again? Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

Qian Kang looked left and right, took Fang Zi'an's arm and said, "Let's go, go to my guest room and talk." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded, Qian Kang turned his head and instructed the shopkeeper: "Send a pound of beef, a few dishes of side dishes, and a jar of wine to my room." ”

Fang Zi'an was surprised: "What kind of wine did you drink early in the morning?" ”

Qian Kang said: "Is there still a time to drink?" Gotta drink. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled helplessly, followed Qian Kang into the backyard, and came to a guest room on the east side of the second floor. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Zi'an was about to speak, when he saw Qian Kang kneeling on the ground with a puff.

Fang Zi'an was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Brother Qian, what is this for?" Curse me to die early? ”

Qian Kang refused to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zi'an, you let me kowtow to thank you, and also express the guilt in my heart." Otherwise, I will not be at peace. I knew everything, and the news of what happened in the capital reached Yuhang, and I knew what was going on as soon as I heard it. Brother Zi'an, because I have a cheap mouth, I put you and Miss Qin in danger, and almost had an accident. I must kowtow and apologize. ”

After that, Qian Kang crawled on the ground and kowtowed.

Fang Zi'an hurriedly pulled Qian Kang up, pulled him to sit down, and found that Qian Kang had tears in his eyes.
