"Fan Lang, now that our shop has begun to stabilize, why don't you wait for Xiaoman to go back to Songzhou after that?" Mo Xirong's face was tinged with shyness, looking forward to the happy scene of the wedding in the future, "Now that I have a foundation, maybe I can say something at home." ”

Fan Ming knew the meaning of the woman's words, it was nothing more than relying on the current belongings to save face for himself, and in the future, the wealthy Mo family would not be too cold, while thinking about the scene during the day, while quietly listening to the happy woman looking forward to the future, he suddenly remembered the matter of the Chamber of Commerce during the day, so he told Mo Xirong in detail about Wang Fudong's gathering of all merchants to hoard salt goods, and asked: "How sure do you think this matter is successful?" ”

As soon as it came to business, Mo Xirong immediately resumed his serious demeanor, thought for a while, and said: "This matter may be promising, but it is not appropriate to get involved too much, just follow the public to buy a little pretentious." ”

Fan Ming nodded, "It should be like this according to common sense, I guess most shopkeepers think the same way, but I don't know why Wang Fudong has so much courage this time, it seems that he is going to make a big move this time." ”

"Maybe it's because of the He family in Bozhou, maybe the He family made a lot of bets this time!"

Fan Ming sighed softly, "Alas, forget it, let's wait and see, our small family can't make any waves!" ”

"Hmm!" Mo Xirong nodded softly, a little worried in her heart, and it was inconvenient to say anything more, just silently making the bed, waiting for Fan Ming's clothes to prepare for rest, for her, all this is not as important as having a stable home, as long as the man is by her side, everything else is not important.

……

Early the next morning, Fan Ming walked on the way to the county yamen as usual after school, and was weighing whether he wanted to take the initiative to do something, although his position in the yamen was still stable for the time being, but it was not so harmonious, if he could do something, he might have changed somewhat.

Although Wang Zhixian already knows about the current hoarding of salt goods, it stands to reason that Wang Zhixian will not know that this is a crisis, but he has not taken any action, he is a little worried about Wang Zhixian, or worried about his future.

This afternoon is still the same as the previous two days, the attitude of the other officials towards him is still lukewarm, although he has been mentally prepared for this situation, but these slight changes still make him mind a little in his heart, but when he thinks about it, he is relieved, no wonder, life in the world is more icing on the cake, less is the snow charcoal, human affection is warm and cold flowers bloom and fall is human nature, if you are too mindful of what is the difference with those peddlers and pawns.

With such a mentality, Fan Ming will lose his passion and motivation to do things, if he doesn't get rid of this predicament as soon as possible, all his efforts will be in vain.

"It's time to do something!" Fan Ming's brows furrowed tightly, he had already made a decision in his heart, and as soon as the casual work was completed, he strode directly in the direction of the backyard of the main hall of the yamen, where the office of the county magistrate was located.

Although Chuqiu County has been far less prosperous than it was at the beginning, the foundation is still there, and the county government hall was also renovated in the most prosperous period of Chuqiu, so it looks very atmospheric and solemn.

An old patriarch from Wang Zhixian led Fan Ming to Wang Zhixian, and saw Wang Zhixian thinking about a pile of files on the bookcase, and vaguely saw some tax data on the page from the bookcase, and Wang Zhixian's brows were already tightly screwed together.

Seeing that Fan Ming had arrived, Wang Zhixian's face suddenly showed joy, he stood up, greeted him and said affectionately: "If you don't come, I'm still going to look for you." ”

Fan Ming smiled and didn't speak, from Wang Zhixian's eyes, he could feel his trust, the communication between men often only needs one look, too many words can't play such a role, he can also understand Wang Zhixian's mood at the moment, a scholar has just arrived in a strange place, although he has a county hat, but he has no relatives, this feeling of helplessness is needless to say is also very uncomfortable.

"What, you want to play against me today?" Wang Zhixian had a smile on his face, which made people not feel the previous melancholy at all.

Fan Ming was grateful, but he couldn't help but worry when he thought of the hoarding of salt at the Commercial Bank Conference, "My lord, I asked someone to send a letter earlier, but did you receive it?" ”

As soon as he saw him mention the matter, the expression on Wang Zhixian's face became serious, and finally he couldn't help but sigh lightly, "I can't help it, what can I do......

"My lord, sitting still is not a way after all!"

Wang Zhixian nodded with a heavy face, "If it weren't for someone to restrain my elbows, how could I still have the leisure to be here, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

Fan Ming hesitated for a moment, thinking about the beginning of the calculation, looked at Wang Zhixian's melancholy face, and finally made up his mind, "My lord, Neizi opened a cloth village on East Street, and I was fortunate to be able to participate in the Chuqiu Commercial Bank Conference recently. ”

"Oh, what a situation!" Wang Zhixian's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes shone.

Fan Ming immediately told Wang Zhixian about the gathering of Chuqiu merchants to hoard salt goods and the arrival of the people from the He family in Bozhou at yesterday's trade conference, and looked at Wang Zhixian's face becoming more and more heavy, and Fan Ming no longer had any worries, "My lord, I have an idea, I don't know if I can solve my adult's burning confusion." ”

"Oh! Let's hear about it. ”

"This matter has been accomplished, if you want to forcibly stop it, I'm afraid it's impossible, it's better to block it than to loosen it, it's better to simply let go of the ban, lead other merchants to Chuqiu, and have a group of dragons to dance, and adults can sit and wait for the opportunity to ......"

Wang Zhixian frowned, his eyes were firmly fixed on the picture of a tiger coming out of the mountain on the wall, and he pondered, but there was no movement for a long time, Fan Ming saw that he was in his thoughts, and he was not easy to disturb at the moment, just stood silently at the table, waiting for Wang Zhixian to wake up.

Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, Wang Zhixian suddenly raised his head and said: "Although this matter is promising, there is still a necessary condition missing. ”

"On what terms?"

Wang Zhixian's face sank, he stopped talking, and then sighed lightly, "This matter still needs the approval of the superiors." ”

Fan Ming knew in his heart, such a big thing naturally involves the interests of some officials at the upper level, if there is no participation of some officials, it will be a little abnormal, seeing that Wang Zhixian has a difficult face, he doesn't have anything to say, everyone has something difficult for everyone to do, and he wants to retire right now, "That's it...... My lord, if I can be useful, I will simply quit the errand in the yamen, so as not to cause trouble to my lordship. ”
