It's night, Zhangjiakou Wharf.

More than a dozen large Cangshan cargo ships with the word "Fan" were quietly docked to the side, and a crescent moon in the sky was reflected on the sparkling river.

With the sound of the "whooshing" sea breeze, the maritime merchants are also gathering on their respective ships to eat.

A maritime merchant who had just returned from the island nation looked at the player's cargo with some envy.

"This Fan family has more than a dozen big ships every day, where are they transported, and where are they looking for such a good financier?"

Someone immediately jumped out to answer this question.

"You don't know this, the Fan family is going to be transported to Denglai, and then from Penglai Water City to the sea, there should be some agreement with the Fanyi."

Hearing this, some people also suddenly realized and sighed:

"Indeed, the Fanyi have always been very generous in doing business."

Hearing these words, a maritime merchant came over, his eyes full of vigilance, and admonished: "Don't you know that the imperial court has established the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in Suzhou to manage the affairs of doing business with the Fanyi people in one piece? ”

Someone cut it off disdainfully and said:

"It's because I know that I have to hurry up and make a few more trips, and when the Imperial Chamber of Commerce covers Zhangjiakou, it won't be so easy to get out."

Soon, all the maritime merchants began to chat.

As soon as the sun set, there was a curfew in the city, and the joint action of the superintendent and the east factory made people's hearts beat and buzz, but this did not affect the merchants who came and went from the south to the north.

Most of the people here aren't locals, just passing by the dock in Zhangjiakou and stopping overnight, and even if there's anything going on in the city, it's none of their business.

At this time, a businessman looked at the Fan family's fleet and found that many hired people were patrolling with knives and sticks, not knowing what they were transporting, making it so mysterious.

A sailor lay on the deck, his body shaking with the hull.

This is an unbearable bump for ordinary people, but he hummed comfortably, and he was about to fall asleep.

There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and the sailor turned over, subconsciously about to touch the waist knife beside him, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

There was a team of officers and soldiers in sharp armor, led by a thousand generals.

When the officers and soldiers came to the dock, they made a fighting posture and aimed their birds at the Fan family's fleet from a distance? Mr. Qian stepped forward and shouted:

"Listen to the one above? It has now been ascertained that the Fan family is captured? It's all grain, grass, and military quarters? It cannot be shipped out of customs! ”

"Now I'm arrested, this official Baoer and others have nothing to do!"

Speaking of which? Mr. Qian's eyes moved slightly, and he held his hand on the handle of the goose wing knife? said coldly: "If you dare to resist? They are all punished for felonies, and the whole family is beheaded! ”

As soon as they heard this, the sailors above all panicked.

After all? Although they are licking blood with a knife head? Rolling in the pile of dead people, but taking this errand is just to make money to fill the family.

If you go against the officers and soldiers because of this, it will not be your own business.

Besides, this position of officers and soldiers is not like a joke, and it is only two things to say that they have been able to fight, not to mention that even if they win this time? What is the win?

Won a full ending for his whole family?

Run, is it not the king's land under the whole world? These people, who have roots in the land of the Ming Dynasty, can drag their families and run away.

Don't you think so? Those who feed the whole family and are not hungry have to ponder whether they can commit it or not.

Even the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were dispatched? It can be seen that he is determined to kill the Fan family.

Fan's captive? Is that their own business? It is not worth it to be hired to protect the fleet when going to sea, and to fight with the officers and men.

The sailors were still thinking about it, and a person hurriedly came out of the cabin, but it was Fan Yongdou, the eldest son of the Fan family who was killed on a horse two days ago.

Do you see that this thing hit someone and killed someone, and now it looks like something is wrong?

If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's direct decree to destroy the Fan family, this kid would still be alive in the cabin now.

The current head of the Fan family is not Fan Yongdou, because the old man Fan Dengku is not dead.

Fan Yongdou is only in his early twenties this year, and he has already shown the kind of "foresight" with great business vision in the future.

Who is Fan Yongdou?

This goods relied on the Ming and Qing dynasties to transport grain and grass to the outside of the customs and military funds to make a lot of war money, so it became the first Jin merchants, and was given by the Kangxi Emperor as the head of the eight imperial merchants!

In fact, before Fan Yongdou became the head of the family, the Fan family was one of the more powerful merchants in the Jin Dynasty, and it also occupied a place among the businessmen in the country, and belonged to the "old wealthy family".

As early as the Hongwu period, the Fan family has been doing business in Zhangjiakou and Mongolia, and has gone through six generations, and Fan Yongdou is the seventh generation of the eldest son.

This is put aside to future generations, and it is the second generation of children who will inherit the million-dollar family business in the future.

The Fan family has lived in Zhangjiakou for many generations, and this place in Zhangjiakou flows through the canal, and can reach Penglai directly to the east, enter the sea through Penglai, and it is also very convenient to go to the Shanxi area to the west.

Establishing a family in this place was indeed a wise decision made by the Fan family in their early years, and it was very convenient to do business with Mongolians and foreigners.

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Fan family was an honest child, doing business in China as much as they could, and they didn't dare to think anything wrong.

Joke, Emperor Hongwu killed that sharp man, that is playing with you?

The rest is almost the same, the fourth-generation head of the family, Fan Yan, was very supportive of the imperial court's disaster relief, and was even praised by Emperor Jiajing, almost becoming the first imperial merchant in history.

But when it was passed on to the sixth generation, that is, the generation of Fan Yongdou and his father Fan Dengku, there was a deviation.

To be precise, it was the old man who was too indulgent when he was young, wandering outside all day long, and not paying much attention to educating his son, which caused Fan Yongdou's whole thinking to go astray directly, and he pondered crooked ways all day long.

After Fan Yongdou knew the news of the victory of the Ming Dynasty and the fiasco of Jiannu, he expected that Jiannu would definitely need a lot of food and military supplies now.

In fact, no one can guess if there is a little ability, but no one wants to be the first to eat crabs.

Fan Yongdou was a stunned young man, and directly suggested to Fan Dengku that he secretly send food and materials outside the customs.

Fan Dengku thought about it, isn't this looking for death, and at first severely reprimanded Fan Yongdou, telling him to save this mind and practice business in a down-to-earth manner.

Fan Yongdou was naturally unconvinced, he felt that this was a godsend opportunity to start a business, so he privately formed a fleet to sell goods, and finally made a lot of money, not to mention, but he was not discovered yet.

In this way, Fan Yongdou's prestige in the Fan family has soared.

Fan Dengku was confused, and actually thought that this was a feasible way, and let the rest of the Fan family children out to manage the shop.

This means that Fan Yongdou officially became the heir of the Fan family at that time.

Because of what, because he made a lot of money by bringing goods to Jiannu, although Fan Dengkou was worried, he still couldn't resist the unprecedented huge profits brought by this method of bringing goods.

As long as it's all the same "undiscovered" as that time, it's fine.

When many businessmen present heard that the Fan family was beheaded all over the door for bringing goods outside the customs, they felt both incredible and ridiculous.

Van Dengkou has been honest all his life, and he didn't want to be in the future, so his uncompetitive son was severely pitted.

The businessmen did not understand that although the Fan family was not the first Jin merchant, it was now also a famous wealthy merchant in foreign trade.

The four words "Jia Yu Border City, Written with Faithfulness" are the praise of the Zhangjiakou Fan family by the businessmen by word of mouth, which are the foundation laid by the generations of family owners in the past.

Unexpectedly, by the time of the sixth generation of Van Deng Kud, he had become a traitor who had betrayed the country, and the savings of seven generations were burned down, and all of them became the small treasury of the imperial court.

Many people just have the idea of watching the excitement, they can't figure it out, the Fan family is already very "chaebol", why do they have to touch this thunder?

Speaking of which, it is surprising that the imperial court did things quickly this time.

The Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse came down directly the next day, and one sentence was given: all the houses were copied and the assets of the whole country were seized.

Where do you go to reason about this, saying that you used to do business as a duty, but this time you are dizzy?

Can the murderer also be said to be impulsive, but in fact, he has always been a good person before?

There is nothing to say, in addition to feeling pity, the businessmen do not feel that there is anything that should not be sealed or killed, the captives are already a certainty, since your Fan family has done it, don't blame the court for being ruthless.

This apocalypse, although retribution will be late, it will never be absent.
