"My father is like this, he treats you as his own, so he keeps saying, don't blame him, he has a good heart." Sister Fang whispered in fear.

Originally, Sister Fang was a little bit of a cold goddess here in Weibao.

But after becoming Wei Bao's subordinate, he slept with Wei Bao again, this kind of cold and glamorous fan has faded a lot, and his posture towards Wei Bao has changed from looking up to looking up.

Wei Bao said indifferently: "It's nothing, I'm not unhappy." Originally, I was off the list, but this kind of thing, it's not comfortable to think about it, let alone what others keep saying. ”

"Well, you just don't talk to him." Sister Fang smiled slightly: "It's good that you don't get angry." Drink some tea, sit and rest, and I'll talk to you. ”

"Wu Xiang, they should be coming soon, do you know about Zhao Jinfeng's abduction?" Wei Bao asked.

"How don't you know? Have you forgotten what I do now? The entire statistical office around Shanhaiguan is under my control, and my people were the first to find out. However, I know that when you get to Shanhaiguan, there must be a way to solve it. After you meet Wu Xiang, it should be resolved. ”

"Do you also think the Wu family did it?" Wei Bao entered the box and glanced at Sister Fang.

Sister Fang smiled and said, "Who else in their family will deal with Zhao Jinfeng?" Zhao Jinfeng usually doesn't even go out, Zhao Lizheng is also a decent person, and he hasn't heard of an enemy, Zhao Jinfeng's mother is even more secluded, even I have only seen it twice, and outsiders can't see it at all. Except for the Wu family, there will be no second candidate. So I'm not very worried about Jin Feng's safety. If the Wu family did it, most of them just wanted to warn the president, and they shouldn't embarrass Jin Feng. I'm afraid that Jin Feng has never experienced this kind of thing and is scared. ”

"That shouldn't be, with my understanding of Zhao Jinfeng, she is not so bold." Wei Bao Road. Among the girls he knew, he really felt that there was no timid woman, even Wang Qiuya, who was weak in appearance, actually had a man's side. Fan Xiaolin is quite strong inside and out, and Xu Rui has also seen the world. Sister Fang and Wu Xuexia are even more needless to say.

"Well, I think so too, so I'm not particularly worried about Jin Feng. Wait for the president to bear with it, don't quarrel with Wu Xiang, the top priority now is to buy food. Sister Fang reminded.

Wei Bao nodded, "Yes." ”

"All the information we have has been reported to the General Administration of Statistics, and the Forestry Department should have told the president, right? Ma Zhisheng, a big businessman in Nanzhili, should have come to Shanhaiguan and live in our Shanhailou! Sun Yuefang continued.

"Has Ma Zhisheng come to Shanhaiguan yet? Lin Wenbiao didn't say this to me. Wei Bao said.

"We reported it, but we can't be sure that it must be Ma Zhisheng. The GAO may not dare to report it to the president casually before the information is approved, right? Sister Fang guessed.

"It could be so." Wei Bao said: "They will also consider it themselves, if it is an intelligence, they will tell me before they have approved it, on the one hand, it will affect my judgment of things, and on the other hand, it will delay my time, then I don't have to do anything every day." ”

Sister Fang snorted.

"This Ma Zhisheng is also a weirdo! He ran to Shanhaiguan and didn't look for me, what did he want to do? Secretly observe the situation? Wei Bao guessed.

"Probably that's the case, right? The reason why this person's identity is difficult to approve is that since he came, he has been hiding in the room, and only a few of his subordinates take turns to go out every day, all concerned about the fluctuations in food prices in the market in this area of western Liaoning. Sister Fang replied: "Then I knew that the person who didn't go out was surnamed Ma, about forty years old, so I guessed it was Ma Zhisheng." ”

While the two were talking, an agent came to report that Wu Xiang's carriage was about to arrive.

Wei Bao hurriedly went downstairs with Sister Fang to greet him.

Wu Xiang really only brought two people from Wu Sanfu this trip, and the entourage didn't bring much, only about a dozen people.

As soon as he saw this situation, Wei Bao knew that Wu Xiang was not here to quarrel today, but to discuss things, and his mood relaxed a little.

Although Wei Bao didn't think that Wu Xiang would fall out with him when he borrowed so much silver, many things are uncertain, in Shanhaiguan, falling out with Wu Xiang, not to mention looking for death, it will be very troublesome!

"Hello Lord Wu! Hello Brother Sanfu! Wei Bao saw the two of them get out of the car, and hurriedly took the lead in greeting.

"Wei Gongzi is good." Wu Xiang smiled harmoniously, and he couldn't see his emotions at this time.

However, when Wu Sanfu saw Wei Bao, he was a little embarrassed, nodded, and greeted, "Xiaobao." ”

Wu Sanfu still has some anger, not for himself, mainly for his daughter.

In fact, Wei Bao also brought some anger, not for himself, mainly for Zhao Jinfeng.

Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu are both restrained.

"Your Excellency, please! Brother Sanfu please. Originally, Wei Bao wanted to say two warm words, but at this moment, he couldn't say it. Wei Bao is the most fond of making friends, and he is more in love with Wu Xiang. Not to mention Wu Sanfu.

Whether it is Wu Xiang or Wu Sanfu, Wei Bao has a good impression, a big family like the Wu family, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu did not look down on him from the beginning, this is really something worth touching, Wei Bao is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and when he thinks about the past, his heart is warm.

Wei Bao also asked himself that he liked Zhao Jinfeng and Wu Xuexia, there was something wrong, he liked Zhao Jinfeng before, and then he had a good impression of Wu Xuexia, although he didn't tease Wu Xuexia much, mainly because Wu Xuexia found him by herself, but isn't this a favor? Wu Xuexia is really good to him.

Speaking of which, Wei Bao asked himself if he owed the Wu family, in his opinion, the Wu family's abduction of Zhao Jinfeng was a bit excessive, but it was reasonable! But he stepped on two boats, and he was mainly at fault.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu got out of the carriage calmly, and under the hug of a large number of followers, they entered the Shanhai Building under the guidance of Wei Bao.

"The momentum of the Wu family is a bit too much." Sister Fang was worried that Wei Bao was uncomfortable, so she said softly.

Wei Bao smiled indifferently: "Yes, if we have the status of the Wu family in Liaoxi, it is estimated that there will be more than that, right?" ”

Sister Fang glanced at Wei Bao, secretly liked the president's generosity, and hummed softly.

Compared with Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, in fact, Sister Fang is more acceptable to be Wei Bao's concubine, after all, Sister Fang has seen more in the world, and it is easier to correct the relationship between classes, and Sister Fang'er is only worried about the relationship between her father and Wei Bao.

A few people entered the box, Sister Fang was very interested and did not sit with her, if Wei Bao called her, let alone sit with her, she would be willing to do anything.

However, it depends on the occasion.

Therefore, Sister Fang has been standing at the door of the most luxurious private room in this Shanhailou, acting as a partner in person, such a young and beautiful guy, ordinary people do not have such treatment.

Wei Bao asked people to serve the food, and the guys in Shanhailou had already prepared it, dozens of dishes, anyway, the dishes that Shanhailou could make, and sent them in one by one.

said that Wu Xiang made an appointment to meet Wei Bao, but Wei Bao was very conscious, such a dinner must have been paid by him! So a lot of dishes were added, and it directly rose to the highest level of the Shanhailou banquet.

Generally, a table of banquets, no matter how luxurious, that is, two taels of silver, three taels of silver, and three taels of silver, are basically delicacies of the mountains and seas!

But Wei Bao has the ability to rise to five taels of silver per table, which is also in Shanhaiguan, and there is no way in the capital.

Shanhaiguan can get bear paws, monkey brains, tiger bones and other rare beasts!

These nourishing dishes are only affordable for the super-rich, and the same is true in the Ming era.

"Master Wei, don't go up again, don't go up again, just the three of us eat, we can't eat at all." Wu Xiang blocked.

Wei Bao smiled: "What is this? We should eat whatever we want, you don't know, being able to eat with you and Brother Sanfu is something I dream of. ”

Wei Bao's words made Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu feel a lot better, and the atmosphere was also a lot better.

"Dad, Wei Bao has silver, how to eat and how to eat, this is not at home." Wu Sanfu said with a smile.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Knowing that my uncle is thrifty, it will be regarded as a waste of me, so you can eat it with peace of mind, I do this for every meal." ”

Wu Xiang shook his head helplessly: "This is you, the entire Liaoxi, the entire Liaodong, there will be a loser again, I have never seen a person like you." ”

"For my uncle's pleasure, what is this? There's really nothing else that can do it. Wei Bao smiled: "Give my uncle a good make-up." ”

The three of them began to drink and eat, and no one mentioned Zhao Jinfeng's affairs.

Wei Bao is very calm, and he also deeply understands the wise saying of negotiation, that is, whoever mentions what he wants to talk about first will lose half of it first!

Wei Bao was not worried that Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu would not mention Zhao Jinfeng's matter, because the initiative was in his hands, and he could mention it at any time.

Therefore, now the three of them are talking about some gossip, and they have not even mentioned the big plan to buy food.

"Thank you Uncle and Brother Sanfu! I, Wei Bao, is a teenager in a poor township, and I was almost forced to flee the famine, but I was lucky enough to create the current family business, I am really grateful! It's not an exaggeration to say that Uncle Wu is my reborn parent! Sanfu big brother is also yes! I haven't had a single friend, and with the best friend of Brother Sanfu, my life will never be lonely again. Wei Bao said very emotionally.

It's not that Wei Bao is hypocritical and deliberately disguised, what he said is true, if people don't know gratitude, what is the difference between them and animals? Wei Bao is sincerely grateful to the Wu family.

Although there is often friction, Wu Sanfeng did not harm him less, nor did he want to kill him, but one yard is one yard, and the grievances between Wei Bao and Wu Sanfeng have really little to do with Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were a little moved by Wei Bao.

"Little treasure! It's all your own brother, what are you talking about? Don't mention Xuexia's stubble! You say, does I, Wu Sanfu, treat you as my own brother? Wu Sanfu picked up his wine glass and said.

Wei Bao nodded with tears, drank it all, and then said loudly: "Brother Sanfu, you are my own eldest brother, and I Wei Bao will never forget it for the rest of my life!" I, Wei Bao, am by no means a ruthless person! ”

"Yes, I know!" Wu Sanfu is also a person who is easy to be emotional, he was made by Wei Bao, and his nose was also sour, so he couldn't help it, pouted, and reminded: "My father is here, it's easy to say anything, if you have anything to say, just say it to my father yourself, it's okay, I'm here." ”

Wu Xiang was moved and funny, secretly thinking that you are Wu Sanfu, no wonder people say that the second son of the Wu family is virtuous, and you really have made a good person? What does it mean to have you here? If you're not here, it's inconvenient for Wei Bao and me to talk?

"I don't have anything to say, I believe that Uncle Wu and Brother Sanfu understand me! I really don't have anything to say, I have nothing but gratitude to the Wu family! Wei Bao said sincerely. has drunk this portion, Wei Bao really thinks so, whether it is Zhao Jinfeng's matter or the matter of buying food, Wu Xiang is more unclear than anyone? They are all such smart people, do they have to say everything clearly?

"Uncle, I salute you, I've drunk it all, you don't have to drink more." Wei Bao said politely, and as he spoke, he drank another full glass of wine.

Wei Bao doesn't drink much, and he never drinks like this in normal times.

"Drink slowly, drink slowly. Isn't it easy to drink? Drink it every day. Wu Xiang said with a smile.

"It's different! Uncle, you really don't know, I don't usually drink like this, you are good to me, I know in my heart, when I drink with you, I can't compare with my father! Wei Bao said to Wu Xiang emotionally.

Even if he is as thick-skinned as Wu Xiang, he can't stand the fact that people are staring at him.

Wu Xiang smiled and drank it all in response to Wei Bao.

Wu Xiang really doesn't usually drink like this, he doesn't need to socialize like this with people with low status, and when he drinks with people with high status, people won't persuade him to drink so desperately, he usually drinks politely.

"What a joy today! If you can drink with your uncle and big brother Sanfu every once in a while, it will be worth it in this life! Wei Bao raised his glass and sighed at the beautiful scenery of mountains, seas, seas and sky outside the window.

Wu Xiang laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? The old man will promise you, Xiaobao, if you want to drink, I will accompany you with your third brother! If you really hold Liaonan, you are the most powerful person in Liaoxi and Liaodong! You can drink as much as you want, the court can't help you! ”

Wu Sanfu also smiled: "Yes, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, drinking things, Xiaobao, you are on call, I am on call, okay?" Hehehe. ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, didn't say anything, still waiting for Wu Xiang to speak first!

Wu Xiang couldn't help it, but he didn't take the initiative to mention Zhao Jinfeng's matter, but took the initiative to ask about buying food! "I'm in big trouble buying food, Xiaobao, you should already know about it, right?"

Wei Bao nodded: "Got it!" Qiao Dongsheng, the young owner of the Jin merchants in Beizhili, had some holidays with me, and it was impossible for people to watch the rise of big businesses in western Liaoning, and the rise of businesses that could compete with Jin merchants! Now that they have joined forces with Ma Zhisheng, a big businessman in Nanzhili, this matter is even more difficult to do! I know Uncle Wu has done his best! I don't think that's a bad thing, though! The more they stuck us like this, the more I think they pay attention to our affairs in Liaoxi, and they are afraid that no one will pay attention to them when doing business, and they are not afraid that people will worry about it, and some people will worry about it, which is not a bad thing, right? ”

Wu Xiang was stunned, originally thought that Wei Bao would be very anxious, and would go to the doctor in a hurry to beg him or something, but he didn't expect that Wei Bao was thinking so open-mindedly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary trivial matter, and he didn't worry about it at all?

"When they secretly gather all the food, whether it is for us to supply Liaoxi or not, anyway, there will be no shortage of food in Beizhili this year!" Wei Bao then laughed.

"But the grain in Beizhili has nothing to do with our Liaoxi? Do you want to buy it loosely? If you can't do it, it's okay to buy a small amount, but if the amount is large, those big grain numbers will find that someone is secretly buying a large amount of grain, and the price will definitely increase immediately! Wu Xiang reminded: "In that case, isn't it the same?" Don't underestimate the Jin Merchants and the Nanzhili Business Gang! Together, the two of them can be worth the entire business community of Daming! No one can touch them! Not only do they have silver, but they also have people, and our merchants in Liaoxi are not at all like them. Xiaobao, there are some things, you can't be rash, let's take a soft seat early, I'll sell the top, say three times the market price, and let them get more grain from the south! As long as you can get past this winter, you'll be fine next year! It's a trivial matter to lose some silver, if it doesn't work, I can still find a way to collect some more silver for you, still according to the interest of two cents, if you get more, I will help you out, how about it? ”

"Thank you Uncle Wu, you really don't have to be like this! I Wei Bao doesn't believe in fate! Don't believe in luck! Don't be afraid of heaven and earth, don't accept the level! I'll just take it! We want this kind of food, not for our own hoarding, for our own money to make money, for the sake of more than 4 million people in Liaoxi and Liaodong! And let's fight Jiannu, we Liaoxi Liaodong people fight against Jiannu, for the sake of the entire Ming Dynasty! That's how it works! They don't say they support us, can they not tear down the table? Can you not take the opportunity to make a fortune? Wei Bao said angrily.

"Xiaobao, you are still too young, those people only have silver in their eyes, where do you think about this? Not to mention those merchants, even the emperor and the imperial court, they may not think about this! If we Liao people don't work hard by ourselves, if we toss all the people and money we have, we are not even as good as beggars! Wu Sanfu said: "What my father said is for your good, no matter how smart you are, after all, you are still young, don't think about anything simple!" There are many things, but I don't regret taking the medicine. ”

Wu Xiang nodded, thinking that Wu Sanfu's words were very good! I appreciate Wu Sanfu very much.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu are rarely together, there is something at home, usually the boss Wu Sanfeng goes with him, Wu Sanfu's performance today makes Wu Xiang very happy, and he is also impressed by Wu Sanfu.

"Brother Sanfu, I know that Uncle Wu is all for my good, but I am not only angry this time, but from the perspective of doing business, I will never let the Jin Merchants and Nanzhili Merchants make a fortune on us this time! Why are we fighting to the death with Jiannu, but we want to send silver to the Jin Merchants and the Nanzhili Merchants Gang? There is no such thing in the world! ”

When Wu Xiang heard this, he didn't say anything more, and decided to let Wu Sanfu say it, and looked at Wu Sanfu.

Wu Sanfu was encouraged by his father, and he was also very happy, shaking his head and saying: "Xiaobao, I know that you are arrogant, this is really the same as our Xuexia!" I won't persuade you, I know you've thought it all! But have you ever thought about it, if you can't get enough food, how can you build slaves? Do you know how powerful Jiannu is? Don't say it's you, even the elite border army of the imperial court in Liaodong, and the tens of thousands of troops of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang can't win Jiannu! Millions of people, even if they are full, can help you build slaves? Don't underestimate Jiannu's population and horsemanship, archery! Jiannu is really not a problem to beat our Ming elite ten people alone! ”

"I know! I don't want to defeat Jiannu, I just want to drive them out of southern Liaoning! Wei Bao said firmly: "We are the righteous side, and we are defending the land and the country!" They are the one who came to invade, they want to occupy the land of Daming, and they want to enslave the people of Daming, the two are different! Even if millions of people can't have one heart right away, as long as I am under my rule, I have the confidence to exert the power of these people! ”

"Xiaobao, you really don't plan to bow to the Jin Merchants and the Nanzhili Merchants Gang?" Wu Xiang couldn't help it a little, seeing that Wu Sanfu and Wei Bao had been talking for a long time, Wei Bao never said the core issue.

"Don't bow your head! Never bow your head, and don't bow your head if you can't buy food! Wei Bao said firmly: "Don't talk about throwing tens of millions of taels of silver!" I really don't lack one or two million taels of silver now! ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he regretted it a little, because it was a little exposed, exposing the fact that he had snatched a large amount of gold from the Jin Shang ticket number. However, Wei Bao doesn't care, don't say it's just half a sentence, what if he admits it in front of Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu?

However, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu didn't seem to be too interested in Wei Bao's words, after all, it was a wine table, and such bold words were really nothing.

Wei Bao still doesn't like to brag about his personality, some people who like to brag, drink some wine, it seems that Daming is his.

For people who drink, this sentence is really fine.

While a few people were talking, a forty or fifty-year-old man in a brocade robe, like a dignitary, dressed in a businessman's casual clothes, came to the door, and said loudly: "Nanzhili Ma Zhisheng, bothering Lord Wu and Wei Gongzi, I don't know if I can go in and toast?" ”

At the door, there were not only Wu Xiang's entourage, but also Wei Bao's people, and Sister Fang personally waiting outside the door, no less than fifty people, almost filling the corridor on the third floor of Shanhai Building!

The man must have gotten the news and came here.

In fact, whether it is Wu Xiang or Wei Bao, it is not a surprise to Ma Zhisheng's arrival, because both of them already knew that Ma Zhisheng had arrived in Shanhaiguan!

Wei Bao has a first-class intelligence agency in the world, such as the Statistics Bureau of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he is well-informed, and Sister Fang has already given it to him through the news just now.

And Wu Xiang also has an intelligence network in his hand, although it cannot be compared with the Statistics Bureau of the Heaven and Earth Society, but the business news in various places is very well-informed, a month earlier, Wu Xiang heard that Ma Zhisheng arrived in Beijing, and now appears in Shanhaiguan, naturally not surprised.

Wu Xiang and Wei Bao glanced at each other.

Wu Xiang knew what Wei Bao meant, shook his head, meaning that he didn't know that this Ma Zhisheng was back, and said softly: "I have never met him, but I have heard of this person's name!" A very powerful businessman! ”

Wei Bao nodded and made a gesture of please.

Wu Xiang also nodded, and then said, "Since Boss Ma has arrived, please come in!" ”

Ma Zhisheng said thank you outside the door, and then, the door opened, and he stepped in.

As soon as Wei Bao saw this person, with a fat head and big ears, triangular eyes, and a beard, he was infinitely disgusted, and at first glance he was the kind of person who eats people and does not spit out bones, is very philistine, and has no bottom line for the sake of interests!

"It's better to meet by chance than to meet, it's such a coincidence today, it's a coincidence to be able to meet Lord Wu Xiang and Gongzi Wei, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence." Ma Zhisheng said with a smile on his face.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu both stood up and bowed their hands together.

The eyes of people like Wu Xiang are very poisonous, they know the other party's origin at a glance, and they know that this must be Ma Zhisheng, and they will not be impostors, because people's temperament is very pretending, and they don't have so much financial resources, so they can't pretend to be such a big fan.

Wei Bao was the last to stand up, didn't say anything, and kept looking at Ma Zhisheng very scrutinically.

"This is Lord Wu Xiangwu! This must be Wu Gongzi! This young talent must be the famous Wei Gongzi, right? Although no one introduced him, Ma Zhisheng's eyes were also very poisonous, and he guessed the identities of Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and Wei Bao at all!

Wei Bao said indifferently: "Boss Ma is good!" ”

Wu Xiang said with a smile: "Boss Ma is a famous boss in the whole Ming Dynasty, I really didn't expect to meet in our Shanhaiguan by chance, it's really fate, hehe." Boss Ma came to our Liaoxi, there must be something expensive to do, right? ”

"Don't dare, I heard that the grain market in western Liaoning is very good, so I came here to take a look, it's really good, if you want to get rich in the future, you have to rely on Lord Wu and Wei Gongzi." Ma Zhisheng said with a smile.

"In a small place like ours, all of them are small businesses, where can we compare with the capital and Nanzhili?" Wu Xiang said modestly: "A lot depends on big businessmen like Boss Ma!" Liaoxi is poor, and it must not be seen as the rich land in Nanzhili and Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

"Where is it, Lord Wu is modest, the Ming business community, who doesn't know the Wu family in Liaoxi? Besides, looking at whether a place has money or not, it is not about this, the key is to be able to earn money, everyone has benefits, this is the right way. Ma Zhisheng said with a smile.

Wu Xiang nodded yes.

Wei Bao was upset, and when he heard this guy speak, he already knew what kind of character this guy was!

If he wants to take this kind of road of relying on hoarding and collecting people's fat and ointment, Wei Bao doesn't dare to say that he can rise immediately, anyway, his road will be much smoother!

But Wei Bao is by no means this kind of person, if he becomes that kind of person, Wei Bao is willing to die!
