"Sir, the distinguished guest is here!"

As soon as he heard this, Fan Yongdou immediately stood up from his chair, and with a little surprise, he said to the others: "I'm not mistaken, Liaodong has suffered a lot of loss this time, and they all took the initiative to send people over." ”

When the others heard this, they all stood up excitedly. Among them, Tian Shenglan even said: "Let's go, go and greet the God of Wealth!" ”

Fan Yongdou nodded immediately, without saying a word, and strode out.

The Huang Yunfa servant in the middle of the lobby was dumbfounded again: What should my master do?

The one who can be sent here for help must be Huang Yunfa's henchman, of course he knows who the so-called distinguished guest is.

But the more this is the case, the more anxious he becomes!

This Liaodong has come to the people, so it will naturally be delivered, but his master is locked up in Jinyi Wei Prison, what else can he do with this business?

So, in a hurry, he hurriedly walked a few steps, jumped out of the door first, blocked in front of Fan Yongdou, knelt down with a "poof", and then begged: "Ladies and gentlemen, you haven't discussed how to rescue my master!" ”

Being blocked by him, Fan Yongdou was a little impatient, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Didn't you hear that we were discussing? This is not a distinguished guest, even if your lord knows, he must also understand the principle of the supremacy of distinguished guests. ”

After saying that, he took a detour and walked away quickly, without stopping at all.

The others didn't pay attention to him at all, they all bypassed him and left quickly after Fan Yongdou.

Only this kneeling man is left, where is the dumbfounded!

In the front yard of Fan's Mansion, there were about a dozen people in a group, all of whom looked like dusty servants. It was the end of May, and it felt too hot, so I stood in the shade of the tree, took off my hats and fanned them, and wiped my sweat on the other.

On their heads, there is a money rat tail, and with a little experience, you can see that this is definitely not a freshly cut hairstyle.

Some of the servants of the Fan family came with well water, some were helping them fan the wind, and some were pulling cold fruits from the well, and they were busy serving them.

By the time Fan Yongdou led the people to arrive, these Jianyu had already relieved their breath, and they were happy.

"Ahhh Fan Yongdou recognized at a glance that the Qing soldier at the head was Fan Pingfu, Fan Wencheng's housekeeper, and immediately greeted him with a smile and a loud voice.

When Fan Pingfu saw it, he also smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Fan Dongjia, Tian Dongjia, Wang Dongjia...... So you're all here? ”

"Please!" Fan Yongdou hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal, and at the same time explained to Fifth Uncle Fan, who was following him, "Quick, bring up all the ice cubes in the cellar." ”

After a while, Fan Pingfu sat in the main seat of the lobby, accompanied by Fan Wencheng, and the other profiteers still sat there originally. That Huang Yunfa's servant really didn't have the courage to continue to talk in front of the distinguished guests, so he could only accompany Huang Yunfa to the last seat.

And the servants of the Fan family, under the command of Fifth Uncle Fan, came in with a plate of ice cubes, put them down in the corners, and then withdrew.

Feeling the coolness, a smile also appeared on Fan Pingfu's face, looked at Fan Yongdou and said: "Needless to say, the master has a purpose, it is three times your purchase price, and it will be sent to Liaodong as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, everyone was happy to hear this, and all of them had smiles on their faces.

Among them, Fan Yongdou quickly smiled and said to Fan Pingfu: "There is one thing that needs to be explained first, the Central Plains war in Guannei, and the two lakes basin are also plagued by thieves, and the price of grain has not been able to come down. It just so happened that the battle of Songjin had lasted for so long, and the cost of the grain we had managed to hoard was really high. But don't worry, it's all in the books. We do business in Jinshang, we have always been honest, and we will never deceive each other at a false price! ”

As he spoke, the others also stared at Fan Pingfu to see how he reacted.

I saw that Fan Pingfu heard this, and just said with a smile: "We have been friends for so many years, and the master and son have a lot of trust in you, so you can rest assured." ”

As soon as they heard this, these seven imperial merchants were obviously a little more relaxed. It's still refreshing to do business with Daqing, as long as it can arrive, you can say as much as you want, and you will never bargain! Such a good customer must be served!

"The matter of the sale is so decided, you can send the things to Liaodong as soon as possible!" When Fan Pingfu said this, he suddenly smiled and said, "There is one thing, I still want you to inquire, the imperial court doesn't know what the hell is going on, and it actually gave up Ningyuan City, and the people near Ningyuan have also withdrawn." Is there any change in the Ming court, and how do they deal with Liaodong? ”

As soon as she heard this, Tian Shenglan hurriedly said: "Don't say it, the changes in the court are really big now!" ”

When Fan Pingfu heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at him and asked, "How do you say it?" ”

The smile on Fan Yongdou's face on the side was gone, and it was obvious that he didn't like Tian Shenglan to talk a little.

He knew very well in his heart that these people were trying to grab his place. However, as long as Fan Wencheng, who climbed on his own, has been reused in Liaodong, these people are useless no matter how they behave!

"In the first two months, a Xingguo Duke suddenly appeared in the court, and his power was monstrous, and it was estimated that he was no different from the nine thousand years old of the year!" Tian Shenglan spoke quickly, and said with a flattering smile on his face, "Many important officials of the imperial court impeached him, not only did not have any impact on this Xingguo Gong, but it affected them to either lose their official positions or go to prison. Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the ministry ......"

Hearing this, Fan Pingfu was actually not surprised at all. Before coming, Fan Wencheng had already told him something. The sudden change in the front line of Guanning in the Ming Kingdom must have been caused by a major change in the court. The main purpose of his visit was to understand these changes.

However, he never expected that the changes in the Ming Dynasty would be so big. Who is this Xingguo Gong?

“…… The people he recommended to the emperor were all reused. And the degree of reuse is simply eye-catching! Originally, he was just a prefect of Changsha, but because of his recommendation, he became a cabinet assistant! Originally, it was only a small one to be released to the middle of the matter, stealing the fat shortage of the heavenly official......"

The more Fan Pingfu listened, the more shocked he became, and through his usual dealings with these Jin merchants, he knew that although these Jin merchants might speak a little exaggerated, they were by no means outrageous. And the things about this Xingguo Gong are so outrageous, it can only show that these outrageous things really have to exist.

To some extent, this Xingguo Gong is simply the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is a bit unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Fan Pingfu couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "What is the origin of this Xingguo Gong?" ”

Hearing this question, Tian Shenglan, who was talking endlessly, was stuck. He turned his head to look at the others, then shook his head and said, "We have all inquired, and no one knows the origin of this Xingguo Gong, as if it suddenly appeared!" ”

When Fan Pingfu heard this, he was a little surprised, and asked: "Then where is he from, and what did he do to be reused by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, he always knows, right?" ”

Fan Yongdou obviously didn't want Tian Shenglan to speak all the time, so he grabbed the topic and said: "We did inquire carefully, but we really don't know where he is from. According to some people who have been in contact with Xingguo Gong, the accent is a bit strange, and it is definitely not from Jingshi, and it seems that he is not from the north. ”

Fan Pingfu was really surprised, and couldn't help but say, "It can't be that it fell from the sky, right?" ”

"Don't really say it, this Xingguo Gong really looks like it fell from the sky." When Wang Dengku heard this, he couldn't help but say, "No one knows where he came from, and it seems that he is still alone." It's just that as soon as he appeared, the emperor reused him. It is said that Princess Kunxing has always been by his side. With this posture, if it weren't for the Xingguo Gong's strange goods, the emperor would use him so much, and still tie him with his daughter? ”

When others heard this, they also agreed, and then gave examples of the unusual features of this Xingguo Gong. In short, they said that Fan Pingfu was dumbfounded, he had never heard of such a person when he grew so big in his life!

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and waved: "Forget it, don't inquire about his origin." Otherwise, you will directly say that he is a star in the sky. ”

After a pause, Fan Pingfu immediately asked: "Focus on the things related to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty now!" ”

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he hurriedly told the imperial court about the Liao State Policy, and finally said: "...... Now the original Changli County Order, and the current Governor of Shanyong are almost unclothed on the Great Wall along Jizhen, all rushing to repair fortifications. I suggest that Liaodong should still strike early, otherwise, once the construction is really completed, it will be a little difficult for the Qing army to enter the customs again. ”

Hearing this, Fan Pingfu was naturally the most concerned.

The original Changli County Order, no need to ask the name, it must have been the Changli County Order in the third year of Chongzhen, he actually became the governor of Shanyong, presiding over the Great Wall defense line in Gyeonggi, and it was all used by the military and civilians of Liaodong, which made him a little nervous, and hurriedly asked about the specific situation.

After asking, Fan Pingfu couldn't sit still, frowned and said: "The Ming Kingdom spent such a big price to build the Great Wall defense line, obviously trying to stop the Qing army outside the pass!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Fan Yongdou and said, "Now that the Qing Dynasty is still resting, if you want to enter the customs, it should be at least September." If the governor of this mountain is fast, I am afraid that it will be repaired when the Qing Dynasty sends troops. ”

As soon as Fan Yongdou heard this, he knew that in this battle of Songjin, although the Qing Dynasty won a big victory, it was estimated that the loss was also a bit large. This made him secretly happy in his heart, and he liked this situation the most. Because this means that Liaodong will rely more on them as Jin merchants.

He was thinking about it, when he heard Fan Pingfu say to him again: "But it's okay, at most, the Qing army will go a little farther away and enter the customs from Shanxi." ”

As soon as he heard this, Fan Yongdou didn't like it a little. If the Qing soldiers enter the customs from this side, it is likely to attract the attention of the imperial court and make it difficult for them to do business.

Just as he was about to say something, that Fifth Uncle Fan actually broke in in a hurry.
