Wei Bao found that Sun Yuefang came to the opposite side, Sun Yuefang's black and clean hair was twisted into a simple and capable bun, in the eyes of Wei Bao, a modern person, it was actually a little fashionable, beautiful but not vulgar pink face, delicate and cute, a little more sophisticated and shrewd of a merchant girl, compared with Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, it is a different style.

"Sister Fang is here, I didn't even notice it, it's rude." Wei Bao hurriedly stood up.

Sun Yuefang showed a sweet smile to Wei Bao, Xiuyan was picturesque, and seemed to have two shallow pear vortices, the smile made people feel very comfortable, and it was easy for people to feel close: "Wei Gongzi is welcome, aren't we friends?" ”

"Well, it's a friend." Wei Bao's heart warmed, thinking that this was a good opportunity, how should he phrase it to ask about the road guide? He himself felt that he was not so familiar with others, it was just the relationship between the drinker and the boss, and he couldn't talk about it for a while.

"What? Wei Gongzi just let me stand all the time, didn't you invite me to sit down? Sister Fang held her elbows with both hands and shook her delicate body slightly.

Wei Bao immediately came to his senses and said with a smile: "I was a little dizzy when I saw Sister Fang'er's toilet, and I forgot everything, Sister Fang, please take a seat." ”

"Wei Gongzi's mouth is sweet, does it make people dizzy when they see me? I'm not a drinker, and I get dizzy when I drink too much. Sister Fang smiled slightly, sat opposite Wei Bao generously, and looked out the window with beautiful eyes.

Wei Bao didn't laugh with Sister Fang, this kind of laughter is okay for Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, but for a girl like Sister Fang, Wei Bao feels a little inappropriate, people's daily work is this, in that case, it will be very disrespectful.

Wei Bao couldn't figure out why Sister Fang suddenly came here to 'sit down'? When he came to Shanhailou, he believed that Sister Fang should know immediately, and it was not strange for Sister Fang to know that she was coming. But he doesn't feel that his charm is so big that he can make Sister Fang such a mature and beautiful girl so 'active', after all, he is only 14 years old at present, not to mention that he is still a child in modern times, even in Daming, he cannot be regarded as an adult man, if he wants to say that Sister Fang likes his family background, it is even more impossible to talk about it, I don't know if Sister Fang can see the little silver he earns, Shanhailou is a big business, his parents, that is an honest peasant couple. If you say that you have taken a fancy to your character, although you and Sister Fang went out for breakfast last time and walked around, but with such a short contact time, you can't talk about your character, right?

Could it be that you are purely interested in your anti-natural appearance? Wei Bao couldn't help but get up a little YY, but he was immediately vetoed by himself, although every era pays attention to appearance, but the biggest charm of men seems to come from talent and status, right? And mature men are obviously much more pleasing than young and immature men.

"The guests are gone, right? It seems to have been purified. Wei Bao casually found the topic, wanting to find out what Sister Fang meant by suddenly coming to his table to sit, if he just came to sit casually, and just regarded himself as a bolder drinker, he would be disappointed. But if Sister Fang really wants to 'tease' herself, in fact, Wei Bao will be a little scared, after all, she is really not familiar with others, this is Da Ming, but not modern, you can make an appointment if you want to, and you don't have to pay any responsibility after the appointment. The shopkeeper of a dignified mountain and sea building is still a yellow flower girl, but if something happens, it must be officially married to end it.

"Well, it's almost gone, I'm busy at noon and at night, so I can worry about it when I get there." Sister Fang smiled, "I don't enjoy as much happiness as Gongzi Wei, and I earn a lot of silver every day when I am leisurely." ”

Wei Bao knew that it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning, and he sighed, "I'm not idle, I'm very busy doing business, pay more attention to rest." ”

"Isn't Wei Gongzi also in business? You should know the most, right? Sister Fang smiled slightly, "Is business good lately?" ”

Wei Bao's heart moved, listening to Wu Shien's meaning today, many people knew that he had robbed the Wu family's goods, and felt that Sister Fang should also know, after all, a place like Shanhailou is a first-class place for news diffusion, what news can't be heard in the restaurant? Then he asked tentatively: "I also want to take a break for a while, but I'm afraid I can't do it now, and I don't even have time to find a chance to go to school, trouble." ”

Sister Fang has indeed heard about Wei Bao and the Wu family, but this is Wei Bao's private matter, she has no intention of inquiring, in Sister Fang'er's heart, Wei Bao is very mysterious, and even Sister Fang thinks Wei Bao is mysterious more than Wu Shien, because there is no business relationship between Sister Fang and Wei Bao, a fourteen-year-old boy, interacting with a group of official figures, and interacting with a big businessman like Wu Shien, which is a very rare thing, not to mention that I recently heard that Wei Bao is also involved with the Wu family.

Sister Fang came to Wei Bao to sit down, mainly because Jin Qiliang refused to leave after eating, and was pestering her to speak, Sister Fang still wanted to use Wei Bao as a shield this time.

Sister Fang didn't mean to provoke the relationship between Wei Bao and Jin Qiliang, because Jin Qiliang didn't know that Wei Bao was here today, and she didn't know that Sister Fang was in Wei Bao's box now.

"Where's Sister Fang? Why is it so long to go upstairs and make rounds? ”

Jin Qiliang's loud voice, although it was separated by two floors of wooden buildings, was heard by Wei Bao.

"If you have familiar guests, let's talk a little more. Jin Ye drinks tea, right? Or ......"

Faintly was the voice of Uncle Sun Jiu greeting Jin Qiliang.

Wei Bao smiled and understood why Sister Fang suddenly came to him, it turned out that it was not that people wanted to inquire about his own affairs, nor was he 'intentional' to himself, he was purely hiding from Jin Qiliang and hiding upstairs, it turned out that he was thinking too much, which made Wei Bao relax a lot.

When Sister Fang saw Wei Bao smiling like this, she also knew that Wei Bao knew her intentions, and her pink face smiled slightly, and she also smiled: "Is Wei Gongzi so free today?" You're not going to spend an afternoon here, are you? I'll take a look elsewhere. ”

"Maybe sit down for a while and then go back to the countryside." Wei Bao said truthfully, he has no interest in the things between Jin Qiliang and Sister Fang, Sister Fang made it clear that she is not interested in Jin Qiliang, maybe Jin Qiliang can be sincere to Jinshi, maybe not, but Wei Bao doesn't think that these have anything to do with him.

Sister Fang sighed, seeing that Wei Bao was preoccupied, and wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to ask, and in Sister Fang'er, she couldn't see what Wei Bao meant to herself, and she regarded herself as a friend.

"I have some goods, I want to sell Yongping Mansion and sell it to Tianjin Wei, I need to open the way, I don't know if Sister Fang has a way?" Wei Bao saw that Sister Fang had the intention of getting up and leaving, gritted his teeth, and still asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

Sister Fang covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi is really good at joking, Wei Gongzi has done such a big business, don't you know how to open the way?" It must be amusing me. ”

Wei Bao blushed when he heard Sister Fang say this, and then he didn't say anything more, feeling that he was a little abrupt, perhaps, people just regarded themselves as drinkers, he felt that Sister Fang'er's attitude was a little resistant to herself, with a strong protective wording between businessmen, with the ingredient of playing haha.

Seeing that Wei Bao didn't speak, Sister Fang said softly: "Childe, don't you really know how to issue a road guide?" I heard that you robbed a batch of goods from the Wu family, since you even dare to take the goods of the Wu family, the most powerful Wu family in Shanhaiwei, you really don't know how to open the way? ”

"I didn't rob the Wu family's goods, I don't know Lord Wu Xiangwu, and I only learned about it today when I heard from Boss Wu Shien." Wei Bao explained, and then briefly said the matter of buying goods at the customs last time, which was exactly the same as what Wu Shien said before, and also said that he bought the goods from the foreign businessmen, which businessmen were actually not familiar with, only said that the eldest brother who took the lead was called the sixth and sixth masters.

"Sixth Master?" Sister Fang seemed to be listening to mythological stories, and after thinking for a long time, she didn't remember any powerful merchant gang boss called Sixth Master, "I haven't heard of this merchant gang that Gongzi said, but is what you said true?" ”

Wei Bao's face flushed, feeling that Sister Fang didn't believe in the story she made up at all, no wonder Wu Shien didn't believe it either, but since she made up the story, she could only try to make this story true, at least, she had to believe that this story was true, because the only flaw in this story was only in herself, Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi and Fan Big-headed, if the four of them didn't say anything, no one would ever be able to tell the truth of this story. Tomorrow someone will be killed again, just like the fallen leaves in autumn and winter.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think it's strange that you dare to do business with 6,000 taels of silver and a merchant gang that you have never met when you go out of the customs for the first time? And the business is still going well? It's too mysterious, I've never heard of anything like it. Sister Fang saw that Wei Bao stopped talking again, and explained.

Wei Bao snorted, and said expressionlessly: "It's a little mysterious, until the business is closed, I also feel that it is a little fast and smooth." However, what I said is true, I did use 6,000 taels of silver to make a big business worth 8,000 taels in the Guanwai Horse Market. ”

Sister Fang nodded, the gaze in her beautiful eyes flashed, "Wei Gongzi is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, although it is very mysterious, but I believe Wei Gongzi's words." Since Childe can make a deal for such a big business, will he not know what to do? In this matter, either find Wang Jingluo, or find Ma Zongbing, if you can't get along with these two adults, you can also find Commander Yang. It seems that they are the only ones who have so much power to issue a customs clearance guide. It is easier to clear inside and outside the customs, the key is to try to get the goods inside the customs to Shanhaiwei, it is not difficult for us to get out of the customs. But if you want to go to the mainland from this piece of Yongping Mansion, it is not easy, and the imperial court is very strict, because Yongping Mansion used to be the boundary of Jingshi! If you want to say that our Shanhaiwei and Yongping Mansion are indeed good places, whether it is goods from the south or goods from the north, they all have to pass through us. ”

Wei Bao finally got a clue to do the way, he was very excited, and his face recovered a little angry: "Then who do you think is the most sure to find, these three people, I don't know them, ask Sister Fang." ”

"I don't know these adults I said, Wei Gongzi doesn't know?" Sun Yuefang looked at Wei Bao suspiciously, since you dare to do such a large business, you haven't thought of a good way, how dare you make a move? She felt a little incredible, "Is the son's business doing these things the rest of the ancestor's family assets?" Or did someone ask Childe to handle the goods on his behalf? I'll just ask, and if Childe doesn't want to say it, he doesn't have to say it. ”

"It was by chance that I met a group of friends who traveled by sea, and they asked me to do it on my behalf." Wei Bao's heart suddenly burst into his heart, remembering that Wu Shien had always regarded himself as the 'eyeliner' of the Mao family in Dongjiang, so he simply forgot about the banner of the Mao family, anyway, Mao Wenlong was active in the area of Phi Dao and Jinzhou, and he would not suddenly appear, even if there was a real 'eyeliner' of the Mao family here in Shanhaiguan, it should be in a moment and a half, and no one would come to him to confront him. Moreover, Wei Bao has never said that his backstage is the 'Mao family'.

'A bunch of friends who go by sea'? When Sun Yuefang heard Wei Bao say this, she immediately had the same idea as Wu Shien, in this area of western Liaoning, even from Phi Island in the west to Shandong in the east, in addition to Mao Wenlong's men and horses, who else has the ability to control the sea route?

"Wang Jingluo is a member of the imperial court, sent down from the capital, he should not be familiar with the face, if the prince is not fully related, it is best not to try this level of big people casually." Sun Yuefang didn't ask Wei Bao if the backstage was Mao Wenlong, anyway, he had already believed it for nine years, it is estimated that the Mao family robbed Wu Xiangtuo of the bulk goods handled by the people outside the customs, and then the Mao family entrusted Wei Bao to transfer them into the customs, just like that.

Wei Bao was silent, and listened to Sun Yuefang quietly.

Sun Yuefang continued: "I haven't heard much of General Ma, I heard that he is very loyal and brave, dedicated to serving the court, very respected, is a rare good general, such a person, most of them are also incorruptible, it is best not to try." ”

Wei Bao nodded, still didn't say anything, Sun Yuefang's meaning was very clear, people with too much power were not sure not to test, and people with an honest reputation could not go through the back door.

He knew that Wang Jingluo referred to Wang Zaijin, and Ma Zongbing should refer to Ma Shilong, since Xiong Tingbi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619), with the right attendant of the military department on behalf of Yang Hao through Liaodong, recruiting exiled soldiers and civilians, purging military orders, building chariots, fire controls, dredging trenches to repair the city, and garrisoning Dagu. Xizong ascended the throne, and in the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Houjin Heavenly Mandate Khan Nurhachi attacked Liaoyang and served as Liaodong Economic Strategy again. He had a discord with Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning (now Beizhen, Liaoning), and finally the army was defeated and retreated, and Guangning was lost. Becoming a prisoner, he unfortunately fell into a partisan strife again. Since then, the Liaodong Economic Strategy and the governor have changed several groups.

The position of the governor of Jiliao, the power is boundless, but it is not permanent, and when he encounters a big war, he sends a large member to serve, usually with the military department, which is equal to the emperor's direct control of the overall war, which is also the famous 'Son of Heaven guarding the country' strategy of the old Zhu family, this strategy may be the most commendable place for the Ming Dynasty royal family.

With this alone, no matter how black the emperor is, he can wash it white and fat, because the emperor himself is at the forefront, what else?

Sun Yuefang saw that Wei Bao had been listening to herself, but she didn't speak, so she sneered, "Do you really not know what to do, or tease me?" ”

"I really don't know, Sister Fang said three people just now, but now that two have been removed, only Commander Yang of the Command Department is left, right?" Wei Bao answered.

"Well, Commander Yang makes Lao Cheng serious, and he has been through the border for a long time, and it is not easy to find a way, but the son of Commander Yang, the commander of Yang, is his weakness, and most of the goods of the Wu family are also from the mainland of the Yang family." Sun Yuefang said: "This is the only channel I know." ”

Wei Bao sighed, he didn't know who Commander Yang was, Yang Hongyi hadn't heard of it, Wei Bao's bit of historical knowledge was just two knives, major historical events were known, the specific people and time were not clear, and it didn't make much sense to figure out who and time. History is written by the victors, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most of the official information was later made by the Qing court, and the information handed down by the Ming court also had many 'reservations', which naturally did not believe it, and a little wild history of the people could not stand up to confirmation. In addition, he is a giant through time, even if there is no tornado-like butterfly effect, it is estimated that history will be somewhat different from the history he originally knew.

Therefore, Wei Bao does not rely too much on his historical knowledge, and history is constantly changing, because he is in the present tense, not the archaeological research team.

The place where Wei Bao can clearly grasp and is higher than the people of this era is two words - the general trend!

There is a general trend in any era, the Ming Dynasty is rotten to a certain extent, it will be overthrown by the homeless people who can't eat enough, the bureaucracy is generally yang and yin, and the royal control of officials and the world cannot be restored to the level of Zhu Baba and Zhu Di in the early Ming Dynasty, these are the general trend.

As for the rise of Houjin, it can be regarded as part of the general trend, but in Wei Bao's original understanding, it feels like it is because Daming is doing too poorly internally, giving people heads, money, and points all day long, and raising Houjin.

Even if there is no Houjin, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to change the fate of the downfall, but it may become a reshuffle within the dynasty, which should be the normal rhythm of being overthrown by the people.

Wei Bao doesn't think that it must be Li Zicheng to win the world, with Li Zicheng's talent, being able to spend a few days in Beijing is already a burst of luck, it is estimated that if there is no Houjin, it will be another decades-long secession and melee, not good, if someone has a whim to write this book at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it must be much more exciting than the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese, who were frequently active on the southeast coast and the Indochina Peninsula, these new colonizers, in Wei Bao's view, were a force that was often overlooked by later generations of history buffs, and even if they did not directly engage the Ming Dynasty militarily, their economic aggression may be more terrible than a direct military attack most of the time.

"Sister Fang and the Yang family know each other?" Wei Bao asked, and said sincerely: "If I succeed in this business, I will definitely thank you and remember it!" ”

Sun Yuefang said with a smile: "Wei Gongzi is polite, I don't dare to say that I am familiar with it, I can only say that I know, Yang Gongzi has come to us for many dinners, as for Commander Yang, he rarely shows up, I have only seen it a few times, and I don't even have a chance to speak." ”

"Can you help show you the way? It's okay to meet with Yang Gongzi, and what to do, I hope that Sister Fang can teach me. Wei Bao looked at Sister Fang with an expectant expression.

Sister Fang didn't look like she was joking when she saw Wei Bao, she really didn't look like she was making fun of her, "Childe really hasn't done such a big business?" How does Wei Gongzi want me to help you? I will do my best if I can do it. ”

Sister Fang couldn't help but secretly wonder, it's not unusual that you are such a young person, and you haven't done such a big business, what is strange is that the Mao family has such a big strength, why do you want to hand over such a big business to you? Sister Fang looked at Wei Bao's meaning, and felt that Wei Bao didn't understand anything, and nothing would be the same, although she didn't have the heart to underestimate it, she was even more confused.
