Chapter 55: The Spirited Girl

Zhangjiakou

The Fan family, whose ancestral home is in the Three Jin Dynasty, is the head of the eight imperial merchants, and today Fan Yongdou is in a good mood, so he set up a banquet in the Fan family to invite the other seven imperial merchants to the banquet.

After receiving Fan Yongdou's invitation, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dengku, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa rushed to Fan's mansion on time.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Fan's mansion, they saw Fan Yongdou standing at the gate with a smile on his face to greet them.

"Welcome seven brothers to Fan's house, quick, please inside."

"Oh, Brother Fan, why did you come out to greet you in person, the brothers know the road themselves, you don't have to work hard, haha......"

As soon as these businessmen met, they were all very affectionate, as if they had seen each other's fathers.

Under the personal guidance of Fan Yongdou, the eight people entered the VIP room of Fan Mansion together, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Fan Yongdou ordered the food to be served.

A sumptuous table of wine and food soon filled the large round table, and almost everything was available, flying in the sky and swimming in the water, running on the ground......

Rich people are capricious, and today's Fan Yongdou's table of wine and food is definitely no worse than what the emperor eats, of course, referring to the imperial Yan of the Daming Palace in his heyday.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't have this kind of blessing, he really lived a simple life, and even had several patches on his dragon robe, so he was not willing to waste his silver on eating and drinking.

When the wine and food were served, Fan Yongdou called eight maids of Xiuchun Mansion to serve them all day and wine, and they did not shy away from talking.

Now the Ming Dynasty is almost equivalent to destruction in their eyes, they don't care about the court at all, they have the support of the Eastern Kidnapper behind them, and they have silver in their hands.

The local government and garrison were all bought by them, never interfering in their business and life, and the Eight Imperial Merchants had become the kings of this land.

Opening his mouth and taking a sip of the wine that the maid brought to his mouth, Wang Dengku asked about their caravan:

"Brother Fan, our caravan doesn't know where to go, this batch of goods must not have an accident, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Prince Regent.

"Brother Wang, what do you think, this passage has already been opened by us, even if we don't have a single soldier, no one will dare to attack the idea of our eight great emperors."

"Well, Brother Jin is right, the local garrison will take the initiative to escort our caravan when they see it, there is no need to worry at all, even if someone robs the red-clothed cannon, it will be difficult for them to pull it away."

"When you talk about red-clothed cannons, I think of Zhang Jianjun's greed, a red-clothed cannon actually costs us two thousand taels of silver, it's really ruthless."

A few people were talking with the maids while flirting and scolding, and they were extremely proud and proud of the dirty things they had done.

You must know that the resale of military supplies is to kill the head, but they don't care at all.

Because Da Ming is unable to protect himself at this time, they don't believe that anyone has the ability to kill their heads.

Fan Yongdou kept smiling at these seven Jin merchants, he was in a good mood today, if the regent Dolgon received this goods, he would definitely not treat them badly.

Huang Taiji promised them before his death that once the imperial court was established in the east, they would be rewarded with the eight Jin merchants as imperial merchants, which was a great honor, and the family was wiped out.

"Brother Fan, you beckoned a few brothers to come over today, there should be something to discuss, isn't it Lord Regent, make a timetable for the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to enter the customs?"

Wang Dengku couldn't help but be curious, and without waiting for Fan Yongdou to speak, he took the initiative to ask.

The other six also stopped messing with the maid, and their eyes were all focused on Fan Yongdou.

"Brother Fan, let's talk about it, we have been waiting for the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to enter the customs for a long time, is there any definite news?"

Fan Yongdou nodded with a smile, and then shook his head:

"Brothers, the specific time for the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to enter the customs has not yet been determined, but it should be soon, and it is estimated that it will be in the near future.

"As you all know, fighting a war requires silver, food and grass, as well as internal intelligence, that is, specific military deployments.

We must not only ensure that the clothing, food and grass of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are sufficient, but also accurately tell the regent the location and location of the weakest Ming military.

The first batch of supplies has been delivered, and it is believed that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers will soon be able to wear the clothes we provide and eat the food and grass we have provided.

As you all know, Liaodong is freezing cold, the grain harvest is almost out of order, and animal husbandry is the main industry outside the border.

Therefore, most of the supplies of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers need to be provided by us, which is also an opportunity for our Eight Great Emperor Merchants. ”

Fan Yongdou's betrayal remarks suddenly made Wang Dengku and the others stand up excitedly, as if they heard that their father was coming.

"Okay, Brother Fan, rest assured, we will fully support the Prince Regent and the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to enter the customs.

Just imagine, once the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers enter the customs and overthrow the Ming regime, what kind of treatment will our Eight Great Emperors and Merchants be, the founding fathers, hahaha......"

"That's right, the division deployment and defense drawings, we have already obtained them from the garrison, and we will be paid five hundred taels of silver."

"The officials and garrisons here have all been bought, and now they are only waiting for the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to enter the customs, hahaha......"

When the eight traitorous profiteers heard the news that they were about to enter the customs, they were all happy and ugly.

As a representative of the eight major profiteers, Fan Yongdou was even more excited, he stood up and raised his wine glass and said loudly:

"Come, let's toast to the early entry of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers."

"Cheers, and I also wish our eight emperor businessmen to rise step by step, and then monopolize all the profitable businesses......"

The other seven people also raised their glasses at the same time, and their group of traitors were actually celebrating the entry into the customs in advance.

"Whoa......

"Oops, it's burning me......"

"Whoever does it, we want to kill ......"

Before the eight traitors' wine glasses could touch each other, suddenly a soup bowl flew in, and a pot full of hot soup was spilled on their bodies and faces.

Before they could dry the soup on their faces, the dinner table was overturned, and a woman's scolding voice came:

"Abominable traitors, wild boar skins burning, killing, robbing and doing bad things, you actually help the abuse, it's so shameful, I, a fireworks woman, look down on you, touch the Nima cup......"

The traitors looked back and saw a maid glaring at them, it turned out to be Chunhong called by Xiuchunlou, that is, a kiln sister.

These eight people are usually domineering, but they are happy today, and in order to facilitate their fun, the bodyguards did not let them in outside the door.

In addition to the eight of them, there were only eight young ladies from Xiuchun Lou left, and they felt that it should be very safe.

The Ming officials were helpless against them, and they didn't expect a woman who had lost her foot to dare to do something to them.

Fan Yongdou was furious, he really couldn't afford to lose face, and stepped forward and grabbed Chunhong's neck:

"Stinky woman, you think you are very patriotic, today Lao Tzu pinched you to death ......."

"Dogs, don't touch me, disgusting dead people, covered with the smell of copper and wild boar skin."

Chunhong desperately screamed and scolded Fan Yongdou, but Fan Yongdou was not an ordinary businessman.

He still has martial arts on him, although he is not very strong, but it is still very simple to deal with Chunhong.

As soon as Fan Yongdou exerted force on his hand, Chunhong immediately felt that it was difficult to breathe.
