Chapter 181: Reform and New Law

Of course, these thoughts are still far, far away for Fan Ming today, and after daydreaming about it, he put it back into the deepest part of his heart.

Now he still has to live a solid life step by step as before.

A few days later, one evening, just when Fan Ming was a little impatient, Leping, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him, and said to him happily: "I can't wait, there is news from above, saying that there will be an envoy to deal with this matter soon."

"Oh!" Fan Ming's eyes lit up suddenly, "Then how will it be handled?" ”

Leping shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know either." ”

"What?" Fan Ming almost went crazy, he had waited for such a news for so long, and this news was just a little unknown, thinking that Song Zhou and Chu Qiu were still waiting for their news, Fan Ming couldn't help but lose his temper a little and pointed at "You...... Aren't you hurting me? ”

Seeing that Fan Ming was angry, Leping couldn't help but be happy, he had always seen Fan Ming with a calm and calm look, this was the first time he had seen him lose his temper, and he smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." ”

Fan Ming said angrily, "What else?" ”

Leping smiled, "Although I don't know the attitude above, I know who the envoy is." ”

Fan Ming frowned, "What's the use of knowing who the envoy is?" ”

"The special envoy is Chen Zhijian, Lord Chen!" Leping deliberately paused, hung Fan Ming's appetite, and deliberately wanted to see Fan Ming's anxious appearance, "You must know that Lord Chen is a cadre under Wang Xianggong, and this time the City Law is also highly recommended by Lord Chen, what do you say this represents?" ”

Fan Ming suddenly took a breath of cool air, this turn around is actually to the original point again, how could he forget this stubble, in the impression that Wang Anshi is the city law launched this year, set up the city of Yi in Bianjing City, set up the city of Yi in the border and big cities, set up promotion officials and supervisors, and act as public officials (absorb law-abiding and cooperative businessmen), recruit all shops and tooth people to act as pedestrians and tooth people in the city, and take charge of the sale of goods under the constraints of officials.

The Law stipulates that if a foreign merchant sells goods to the market as he wishes, the pedestrian and the tooth person shall negotiate the price fairly; What is not needed in the market for the time being will also be "collected and transformed" and sold at the right time; Merchants are willing to exchange with other goods in the city, and they are also satisfied as much as possible.

And the pedestrians who participate in the work of the city can also mortgage the real estate or gold and silver, and more than five people will guarantee each other to purchase goods on credit from the city, and sell them in the market with profits, and the payment will be repaid within half a year to one year, with an annual interest of 2/10, and a fine will be added if it expires. This is actually a combination of wholesale and pedestrian retail, and a combination of commercial institutions and financial institutions.

This means that the imperial court really wants to participate in the ordinary commercial trade, and these hoarded cloths are about to return to their original prices, thinking of this, Fan Ming was suddenly startled, took Leping's hand, and asked, "When will the envoy arrive?" ”

"Eh!" Fan Ming's hand was like an iron tong, and Le Ping was caught in pain, he didn't expect that this Fan Ming looked like a weak scholar, but he had such a big hand.

As soon as Leping shouted, Fan Ming suddenly came back to his senses and let go of his hand embarrassedly, "Brother Le, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." ”

"It's fine!" Leping rubbed his wrist, "When I received the letter, the envoy had already left Bianliang, and it is estimated that it will only take a few days to take the boat, maybe it will be there in these two days." ”

"/ your mother!" Fan Ming couldn't help but curse a dirty word in his heart, turned around and rushed into his room, instantly changed into a dress, pulled Le Ping and walked out, "Brother Le, go quickly." ”

"What's the hurry, isn't there still two days?"

"I can't wait any longer, I won't even have to drink the soup any longer."

Under the pull of Fan Ming, the two couldn't wait to come to the Fuxiang Inn where merchants from all walks of life gathered, Leping was a little confused about Fan Ming's thoughts, "What are you doing here, can you still grab Zhou Fatzi Yang or Fang Youshan?" ”

Fan Ming smiled faintly, "I won't rob them, I'll tell these merchants some news and let them measure it." ”

"No, you don't want to spread the news, do you?"

"What, what's the problem?"

Leping doesn't have any big regrets, he is mainly playing outpost in this shop, but Fan Ming's personality makes him appreciate it very much, and Cheng Xin wants to help him, "The problem is not a problem, anyway, adults will have to go to Suzhou sooner or later, but tell others so early, then you don't have an advantage." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't say it all, I'll tell them that the transfer envoy will arrive in the near future, and Bianjing will take care of this matter directly."

"That means ......"

"It means that this matter has nothing to do with Ying Tianfu, they also have to measure whether they can afford it, to say that they can wait for ten days and a half months, but if it is one or two months, it may not be able to afford it, I went to the dock that day to take a look, the cargo hold is full of overflow, let alone make money for a long time, whether it can be bought is one thing, rather than this, they might as well buy it for me."

"Then how can you win Fat Zhou?"

Fan Ming smiled, "If you want to blame it, you can only blame Zhou Fatzi's identity is not good, who can trust the people of the Northland, don't forget that I still have an identity, the agent of the Mo family." ”

Leping took a breath, "Let's go, I'll bluff with you." ”

Fan Ming thought of the same strategy as Zhou Fatzi on Monday, banqueting all businessmen, but he was not as generous as Zhou Fatzi, only chartered the venue, and did not invite wine, food, and prostitutes, and the time was chosen in the morning when the crowd was deserted, and the location was in a wine shop next to the inn where he lived.

Le Ping was a little stunned in his heart, and whispered into Fan Ming's ear and asked, "Is this too shabby, you have to have some wine and food." ”

Fan Ming glanced at him, "Do you please?" ”

"I've got money!" Leping pursed his lips and said: "It's also a businessman, and I can't even afford a banquet, if I mess up, don't blame me for not helping you." ”

Fan Ming rolled his eyes, and there was a little drum in his heart, it was not that he was unwilling to serve wine and food, please miss, but he was really poor, the horse was thin and long, although he had five hundred guan and one thousand guan from Wang Zhixian given by the woman before leaving, but this was not his own money after all, but the main reason was that he was confident that these cloth merchants would not be annoyed, but would be grateful to him, and patted Leping's thigh, "Don't worry, it's okay!" ”

On the morning of the next day, Fan Ming and Leping had been in the agreed wine shop for a long time, Fan Ming sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, but Leping was a little anxious for him, seeing Fan Ming's leisurely appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "You are not worried about whether they will come at all?" ”
