Chapter 400: Parting (Third Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

(Finally reissued!) For the inconvenience caused by the omission to everyone, I am speechless and apologize again. I got a micro, Xingong, public, number, you can add it. Micro, letter, public, public, number: speechless sky)

Again, staring at the heavy door of the house in front of the house, and even touching the stone lion in front of the door with some reluctance, the number of nails on the door of the house, the stone lion, etc., all have their own regulations, even if they are as rich as the Fan family, they dare not exceed the slightest control.

Ay......

After sighing, Fan Yongdou's expression was full of pity, once upon a time, this mansion of the Fan family was once a symbol of the Fan family's business, but the former Guogong Mansion was the private residence of the Fan family, how brilliant the Fan family was back then. But now it's all over.

It's over!

Although he was unwilling to face it, Fan Yongdou still had to accept this reality, everything was over, there was no doubt, from now on, there would be no more Fan family in the capital. Even the Fan family will no longer be in China from now on.

"Why don't you understand, it's just a business?"

Fan Yongdou let out such a long sigh again, he couldn't understand why those people in the south couldn't understand, it was just a business.

"They don't know what business is, and they don't know what the duty of a businessman is.

After complaining indignantly, Fan Yongdou said angrily.

"How can they be because Fan is doing business with Houjin, what they are doing is just Fan someone's family business, this is good, Fan will not stay with that group of corrupt officials even if he has a penny!"

Despite what he said, Fan Yongdou didn't know that many of the Fan family's family businesses were left in China and could no longer be taken away.

That's it, that's it......

After sighing, Fan Yongdou got into the carriage, and after he got into the carriage, when he told the coachman to go out of the city, he couldn't help but look back at the door of the Fan family's mansion, but the nostalgia in those eyes was undisguised.

On this day, in the capital, the so-called "Eight Great Emperor Merchants" and the heads of the eight families left the capital "quietly", and they did not rush directly to the direction of Shanhaiguan like others, but rushed along the official road in the direction of Dagu.

Just ten days ago, several sea ships arrived in Dagu, and the ships brought hundreds of thousands of stones of rice and grain bought from North Korea, which stabilized the morale of the people in the capital, and even for this, Jin Wenbo also received the emperor's commendation and rewarded the top of the three products, it can be said that the current Jin Wenbo has a faint appearance of becoming the leader of the young generation of the eight families, of course, no one doubts, if it goes on like this, in a few years, I am afraid that the Jin family will have to come out with a first-class member However, it is often only glorious different from the top worn by their parents who were rewarded and punished. Jin Wenbo is a real burden, and even leads the household department.

Although I don't know how many peers envy Jin Wenbo's opportunity, but for himself, how can he not know that he will never be able to become a member of the Great Qing Kingdom, for him, the top priority now is to leave the Great Qing Kingdom, and leave here as soon as possible while he can still go.

"If it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late!"

Standing at the stern of the ship, letting the sea breeze mixed with the wind and snow fall on his body, Jin Wenbo silently muttered in his heart, the situation has become more and more sinister, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it's really too late.

Although Jin Wenbo didn't know anything about military affairs. But from the official letter sent by the imperial court, he could still guess that the situation was a little worse than he imagined.

"Is the situation really so bad?"

Fan Sanba asked puzzledly,

"Brother doesn't know, just five days ago, the imperial court issued a secret order to the younger brother, ordering the younger brother to send a ship to Nanyang to buy rice quickly,"

Jin Wenbo's answer made Fan Sanba still a little puzzled, isn't buying rice the original intention of running the fleet?

"Brother, do you know where the imperial court asked the rice to be transported?"

"Where?"

"Liaodong!"

Yes!

Fan Sanba's face, who was still a little confused, suddenly changed, what does it mean to transport rice to Liaodong, which means that the imperial court has begun to think about the way back.

"They are afraid that once they lose power in the Guannei, when the time comes, millions of soldiers will withdraw to Liaodong, and there will be no food to eat, so they let the younger brother transport the food to Liaodong, although this is a secret order issued by Lord Su, I don't know if it is the emperor's intention, but it seems that this situation is far worse than we know!"

Sighing like this, Jin Wenbo said again.

"Brother, you see that now Li Ziyuan has entered Taiyuan, and he may go east to Taihang at any time to threaten the Beijing Division...... Ay! ”

After a long sigh, Jin Wenbo looked at the dock and said to himself.

"I hope we can hurry up and leave this place while we still have a chance to leave......

Just when his words fell, the wharf was already lively, Fan Yongdou and others who left the capital got on the boat directly from Dagu, although the officials at the wharf saw them, but they didn't think it was a big deal, after all, now many people "go to their hometown in Liaodong to save their relatives", and now their families take advantage of their own convenience to take a boat to Liaodong, which is normal.

"Hey, this Qing Kingdom......"

On the dock, a green battalion soldier looked at the old man and the lady who were boarding the boat, and said to himself.

"That's it."

I'm out of gas!

Even ordinary people can see that the Qi of the Great Qing Kingdom has run out, and for the heads of the eight families, they were unwilling to admit it in the past, but now they have to admit this fact, and it is precisely because of this that they do not hesitate to accept the fact of sailing thousands of miles.

"Brother Jin, you have a good son!"

Standing on the boat, looking at Jin Wenbo, who was talking to the captain of the Western Ocean there, Fan Yongdou said to Jin Liangyu beside him, and his tone was full of envy.

"Our eight families of 13,496 people will be able to survive in the future, but it's all thanks to Brother Jin, the third child of your family!"

Facing Fan Yongdou's praise, Jin Liangyu just smiled slightly, and then said.

"Brother praised falsely, the third person, just a little crooked, if you talk about talent, you still have to count the eldest son, I heard that the eldest son can now speak a mouthful of red hairy words, but it is not worse than red hairy yi."

Since he made the decision to leave China, he has begun to learn Dutch, although it is not as Jin Liangyu said, but he has barely been able to communicate with Westerners.

"Hey, they can learn, brother, you say we, how can we learn the words of this Westerner?"

Fan Yongdou's face looked a little helpless, and he even looked at the distant servants on the ship and said with a wry smile.

"As for them, how many years will it take to learn the words of the Westerners?"

It's easy to leave China, but when you get to the territory of Westerners, how will you live at that time? In this regard, even Fan Yongdou, who has been in the road for many years, does not have the slightest confidence, if there is the slightest possibility, he is still willing to stay in China, but China is so big, where is his place?

Even on the boat he is on now, he has his selfishness, and his selfishness is that since the people of the Jin family are on this boat, then he is naturally safer on this boat.

"Captain, let's go to Lushun now!"

After telling the captain the destination, Jin Wenbo once again glanced at the port, and he looked in the direction of Shanxi, he knew that after the fleet arrived in Lushun, perhaps, he would never set foot in China again in this life.

"Let's hope everything goes well!"

Secretly praying, Jin Wenbo did not show too much nostalgia, but just cast his eyes on the sea.

There are 73 ships parked in Lushunkou, both self-built and bought, plus six ships here, a total of 79 ships, and these 79 ships in addition to thousands of sailors, but also gathered eight families and family servants as many as 10,000 people, of course, more gold and silver on the ship, the ballast stones at the bottom are not all ballast stones, but silver, gold, and the belongings accumulated by the eight families over hundreds of years are all on these ships.

A hundred years of inheritance!

In the cabin, Fan Yongdou looked at the swaying light in the glass oil lampshade, although the hull of the ship fluctuated with the waves, he did not feel the slightest seasickness, but said cautiously and seriously.

"The century-old foundation of our family is on this boat, and from now on, we will be in the same boat!"

Fan Yongdou didn't think about it at all, the Jin family's meeting was not a matter of seeing money, this trust was obtained by them when they partnered with the Manchu Qing for many years, and he was more concerned about the future of the Fan family than worrying about his own people's wealth, of course, he also brought several other families along the way.

"Daddy, the child knows."

Fan Sanba didn't know that the reason why his father said this was to tell him that he had to let Jin Wenbo everywhere now, after all, today is different from the past, and the Fan family also depends on the Jin family.

"Well, the father knows that you can read the general situation, but ......"

The voice was lowered, and Fan Yongdou continued.

"The people of their Jin family want to leave, but we are forced to leave this place, if there is the slightest possibility, my father will never embark on this desperate road, so my father will tell you to do that thing."

Fan Sanba naturally knew that what his father ordered was that, so he nodded and said.

"The boy understands that now they are all waiting there, and as soon as we arrive, they will get on the boat and go south with us, but Dad, do you really think that they can really help us when they go south?"

Fan Sanba's tone inevitably carried some doubts.

"Dad, the yellow and white are eye-catching, as long as we have the silver in our hands, they will definitely not let us go,"

Fan Wendou shook his head from his son's reminder, although he knew that what his son said was the truth, and the silver was too eye-catching, but Fan Yongdou didn't want to miss this opportunity, and he finally said softly.

"As long as there is a chance, we have to try, no matter how bad it is, this is also an opportunity, isn't it?"
