The water of the Da Liao River, flowing in the night, reflects a layer of white light under the bright moon. A flotilla of boats stretching for miles with large sails sailed upriver in the dark.

In the river breeze, there was intermittent muffled roars of boatmen holding the boat against the current.

"It's finally time to arrive at the Great Qing Kingdom!"

Fan Yongdou, who was standing on the bow of the boat, stared at the banks of the Liao River and specially instructed the boatman.

"Throw a torch to the shore."

When the torch was thrown on the bank, it startled the waterfowl, and when the waterfowl frightened, the light of the torch was lit, and the smile on Fan Yongdou's face became stronger and thicker when he saw the dry riverbed of four or five feet on the riverbank......

"Uncle Fan, you say, say, this building, no, no, the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is really, will he really buy our grain?"

Looking at the land of Liaodong in the black hole, Fang Xianqi looked a little nervous.

colluding with slave builders and grain trafficking to get out of customs......

No matter which sin falls on him, it is a great sin of the Nine Clans!

"Eldest prince, you just have to rest assured, the price of grain in the Great Qing Kingdom is only higher than that of the capital, and it will never be lower, so you will not be able to lose,"

Looking at Fang Xianqi's pale face, Fan Yongdou sneered in his heart.

What a bunch of eggless stuff!

Don't they know what it means to be rich and dangerous?

If you are cowardly and afraid of things like this, how can you get rich?

While sneering, Fan Yongdou's heart was also mixed, this year, he had a big loss, not only did he buy the millions of stone grains with millions of taels of silver, but even together with the copper goods, he also paid Dolgon, he didn't dare not pay it!

The Fan family has long been tied to the Great Qing Kingdom!

As for the 500,000 stone and the subsequent 500,000 stone grain...... It's just a stepping stone, it's all about getting a big deal done! Now the side has basically agreed.

As long as this major event is done, not only can the losses this year be recovered, but even that person can be cleaned up together!

In the fields on the bank of the river, those who were driven to work in the fields and carry water to water the fields suddenly saw the boats in the river, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, it's a foreign ship, Ken, it must be our Ming ship......"

"You see, he, they don't have braids......"

Without even waiting for their excitement to come out, Monk Mingyi, who was carrying the water, said coldly.

"The people on that boat are not people, they are beasts, beasts who sell their country for glory......"

In the past so many years, the monk Ming Yi does not know how many times he has seen such ships here, these ships are all sailed from the Ming Dynasty, and the people on board are also Ming people, but they have sold grain, iron, and silk to the Jurchen Tartars! What else could they be if they weren't brutes?

A few days later, the monk Mingyi and others saw the approaching ocean-covering ships again, but they didn't know that those ships did not sail away from Liaodong and return to Tianjin as usual, but sailed directly to Lushun, there were hundreds of foreign-covering ships, almost filling the sea surface of the entire Lushun mouth.

As the head of the Fan family, Fan Yongdou has been staying in Lushun for the past three months, in fact, these days, he is more anxious than anyone else, anxious about the situation in the south.

"Uncle Fan, when did you say we would be the head!"

Again, Fang Xianqi looked at Fan Yongdou and said with a worried face.

"If I wait like this, I'm afraid that the boatmen will be in turmoil, and something will happen when the time comes?"

"What's wrong? Just stay here, give ten taels of silver a month, such a good thing, where do they look for it? This trip, each person can get more than 100 taels of silver, Fang Xian's nephew, as the so-called, people die for money, birds die for food, these people who sell the sea to beg for a living, there is always only silver in their eyes! If they have enough money, they will not make irresponsible statements. ”

Looking at Fang Xianqi, who didn't have the slightest courage, Fan Yongdou's heart was full of contempt, just like this, can he also stabilize the position of the general merchant of the grain store in the capital? It's a good tire!

"But, don't be afraid of whatever, just be afraid of 10,000!"

"Nephew Fang Xian, don't worry, over the years, have there ever been an accident with my more than 100 boats? If I hadn't taken the initiative to take Fang Xian's nephew with you, have you ever heard that in the past, grain was transported out of customs by sea ship? ”

Fan Yongdou said proudly.

In fact, even in the imperial court, they thought that even if the Jin merchants occasionally colluded with the Eastern Prisoners, that is, they crossed the wall to sell some silk goods, tea and other things, but the imperial court knew that the reason why they were able to make their business bigger, and even sell millions of stone grain to the Qing Dynasty, did not rely on the land route, the so-called land camel caravans, but just a trick, the real main road is still the sea route.

"This, this little nephew really didn't expect it!"

Fang Xianqi replied truthfully, before this, he didn't expect that Fan Yongdou and the others would actually use a foreign boat to transport grain, cloth, silk goods, tea and other goods from Tianjin to Liaodong. But after thinking about it, he could understand how many things can a camel carry? At most, two or three stones of grain, using camels to transport grain to Liaodong, is not enough for camels to eat themselves, the most money-saving is the sea route!

Even Fang Xianqi didn't expect that among the more than 1,000 ships in Tianjin Wei, these Jin Chamber of Commerce "hidden" more than 200 ships there, and the Fang family had only accumulated dozens of ships after so many years of grain trading.

"You can rest assured, with enough silver, they will definitely keep their mouths shut, this time the silver earned, they can't earn half a lifetime, it's you and me......"

After a pause, Fan Yongdou's eyes flashed, and then he said proudly.

"I'm afraid that what you and I have earned is a lifetime of hard work, and we may not be able to earn so much!"

Even if the silver is earned, how can it be safe?

In Fang Xianqi's mind, the devastated tragic situation that he had witnessed in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou and other places at the beginning of the year once again appeared, such blood-stained silver...... It's hot!

Just when Fan Yongdou asked Fang Xian to give money and silver, someone outside the door reported it.

"Master Fan, Lord Belle is invited!"

As soon as he heard that it was Lord Baylor who was invited, Fan Yongdou said with joy on his face.

"Nephew Fang Xian, you sit down first, if my expectations are correct, it is estimated that this time Lord Belle called me over, it must be that incident is going to be ......"

Just as Fan Yongdou guessed, a few hours later, when he came over from Lord Beile, he had a smile on his face, and he said excitedly as soon as he saw Fang Xianqi.

"Nephew Fang Xian, this matter is done! As soon as this matter is completed, although you and I dare not say that they are rich and rival the country, they are not far behind! ”

After that, he said excitedly looking at the sea.

"Tomorrow, the fleet will sail out of the Port of Arthur!"

The next day, the sky was about to dawn, and a fleet of more than 300 ocean-covering ships sailed out of the Port of Arthur and sailed south......
