Chapter 190: Joining forces

It's nothing, though. At present, what the eighth prince said is good, but in fact, he doesn't want Cao Fu to be in his house anymore.

Fan Yu also thought about it, handed over Cao Fu to Yang Wenguang and Di Qing, and beat him if he didn't accept it, he would definitely be able to succeed.

"Brother Fu, would you like to come to the Ordnance Yard to listen to it?" Fan Yu looked at Cao Fu and asked.

Cao Fu hesitated, looking at Fan Yu Although he was young, he felt that Fan Yu was the worst one. If it is under Fan Yu's hands, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

He looked left and right and found that the eighth prince and his brother Cao Tong were both staring at him, but they had no choice.

"It is also an honor for the younger brother to be able to be on an errand under An Lehou." Cao Fu had no choice but to bow his hand to Fan Yu.

This kid actually spoke like this, which really surprised Cao Yan, and it was a surprise. Wherever Cao Fu has always been, he has always looked like a little bully who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he has never been polite to people, let alone complimenting others. Today in front of An Lehou, but he changed his temper.

Fan Yu actually didn't want Cao Fu to come to his subordinates, but with the Eighth Prince and Cao Tong in this matter, he couldn't push it off.

"That's fine, my subordinates Yang Wenguang and Di Qing are both skilled people with bows and horses, you can learn some skills from them. If there is something to do in the future, you can also contribute to the country. Fan Yu said casually.

This has touched the itch of Cao Fu, this kid's wish is to learn martial arts to revitalize the prestige of their department.

Cao Fu immediately stopped remembering Fan Yu's hatred, and said excitedly: "Thank you An Lehou!" ”

Fan Yu nodded, then looked at the Eighth Prince, "I came this time, but I came to visit the Eighth Prince, who knew that I encountered this matter." Now that I see that the eighth prince is in good health, I am also relieved. ”

Hearing Fan Yu say this, Cao Tong showed a wry smile on his face, this was his own trouble. A good visit, almost became a farce.

Sending Cao Fu away, the eighth prince was in a very good mood at this time, "An Lehou and the princess tied the knot, and there was no news about this matter before." If it weren't for the official family's will, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known. When you and your wife come to the house today, don't go away. Dinner together in the evening, so that I, as an elder, can do my best as a landlord. There are also two uncles, let's also stay together. ”

At this time, it was not too early, and the eighth prince was enthusiastic about guests, so it was naturally difficult for everyone to refuse.

During the banquet, in addition to Fan Yu and his wife, the Cao family brothers, and the youngest son of the eighth prince, Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu is somewhat similar to Zhao Zhen's appearance, and he has been admitted to the palace since he was a child and read as Zhao Zhen's companion. Therefore, although he is young in the clan, his status is not low.

After three rounds of wine, Fan Yu raised the wine cup to congratulate the health of the eighth prince, and everyone followed.

After putting down the wine cup, Fan Yu said: "Eighth prince, the official family ordered me to be the governor of the Ordnance Manufacturing Institute. These days, I want to help the government's family. Although new weapons and armor were made before, this is still a wasteful thing. Recently, I have been writing books with others, and I want to use the Shosho Institute to empower craftsmen and make folk utensils. It is used for sale and subsidized for the use of the hospital. ”

"That's a good thing, but it's not easy." The eighth prince thought about it, shook his head slightly, and was not very optimistic, "There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in the Shoji Academy, even if only some idle craftsmen are selected to make civilian utensils, I am afraid that the output is huge." If these many things are made, if they do not make money, will they not lose money? An Lehou's intentions are good, but if he doesn't plan carefully, I'm afraid he will suffer from it. ”

Fan Yu secretly said in his heart, it was because of this that he had to say it.

"The eighth prince's eyes are precise, what he said is too right." Fan Yu said with a smile: "The grain shop that the Eighth Prince gave me last time, I am going to use it as a shop for selling civilian utensils. But there are only two stores, which is really small. Therefore, I would like to ask Uncle Guo and the Eighth Prince to also enter the stock together, and let's make this transaction bigger. In order that the utensils produced by the workshops may be sold in the world and in all countries. ”

Hearing Fan Yu's words, the Eighth Prince and Cao Tong both fell into deep thought. Fan Yu pulled them together, and the intention was also obvious, that is, to take advantage of the situation. Everyone is a royal family, and if they join forces to do business, the power will be extremely huge. They are all relatives of the emperor and queen, and when they go to the locality, I am afraid that no official dares to make things difficult at will.

Zhao Yunchu opened his mouth at this time, "An Lehou is taking advantage of the royal family by doing this." Moreover, it is probably not a good thing that several of us have joined forces to do business and be known by the officials. ”

Regarding this problem, Fan Yu has actually thought about it a long time ago, so he is not alarmed.

"There is nothing wrong with what Brother Zhao said." Fan Yu smiled slightly: "This matter is reported to the official family, just to earn subsidies for the royal institute." We are all royal relatives, and we just sell them together, and we also serve the royal family. There are many children in the clan, and the same is true of the Cao family, and there are also a number of official favors. If we can give these children one more livelihood, wouldn't it be that some children who can't get their turn to be gracious will also have one more way out? ”

When Zhao Yunchu heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Even if it is not Enyin's turn to be an official, how can the royal family and his younger brother engage in business and cheap business, and lose the face of our and other families." ”

Fan Yu's proposal was just to involve these two families, but he didn't really want the other party to send his children to him. If you really send the children of the family, I'm afraid it will be bad.

"That's a good thing to say." Fan Yu raised his hand and pointed at himself and said, "I'm not a person who can do business, but I can ask a few shopkeepers to do things well." The Eight Princes and the Cao family can send some shopkeepers who are good at this. In this way, it will not insult our status as a royal relative, and there will be more inputs, so that the idle children in the family can also have more monthly money, wouldn't it be good. ”

Cao Fu was not interested in what Fan Yu said, and only cared about eating and drinking by himself. But Cao Tong is now the eldest man of their team, and he is naturally listening very seriously.

Now seeing that Fan Yudu had already thought clearly, he nodded and agreed: "My family can buy shares, if you make utensils, it is very convenient to transport them to the military states on the West Road and the North Road." ”

There are many children of the Cao family in the army, and as long as they say hello, they can be transported with the baggage.

When Fan Yu heard this, he was naturally secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such convenience, but it was a lot easier.

At this time, Zhao Yunchu also hesitated a little, so he looked at his father, the eighth prince.

The eighth prince also nodded and said, "In this way, it is indeed feasible." It's just that I have to wait for a lot of money to own a few percent of the shares. ”

"There's no rush in this matter, let's wait for the official family to approve what I played." Fan Yu raised the wine cup and said with a smile: "If it happens, I'll talk about the details later." If not, don't mention it again. But the pros and cons, I have reported them to the above, and the official family must not disagree, so we can just wait for the good news. ”

Although it was not decided how much share capital each shared, many details were also said during the banquet, which surprised Fan Yu.

On the side of the Eighth Prince, although it is not like the Cao family, the army can transport the baggage together, but the Eighth Prince's Mansion is very rich. By the favor of the first emperor and Zhao Zhen, the two generations of emperors have been rewarded a lot. In addition, the clan can't help but do business, and the eighth prince has also run many industries, and there are shops in the Dazhou Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this way, there is also a distribution network.
