Chapter 187: Kang Family Ancestor
"Lord Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, Shibei for three days, when I was impressed, I didn't expect that in less than a year, Lord Qin has jumped from a small affair to the general soldier of Huguang, amazing!" The fat and greasy middle-aged man Kang Arita has a smile on his face.
Qin Yiming glanced at the room, with a disappointed face, he thought that Kang Shengnan had come to Jingshi, but now it seems that he has obviously thought too much, and the hairpin in his hand reminds him of the woman who is as beautiful as a fairy, but there is a ruthless woman in her heart who does not give in.
Kang Youtian may have known that Qin Yiming was a little disappointed, so he smiled and said: "Shengnan is in his hometown in Shanxi, and he is doing well, although he has been punished a little before...... But since Lord Qin became this chief soldier, ahem, Katsuo has also regained his freedom. ”
When Kang Youtian spoke, he secretly glanced at the white-haired old man, and saw that the old man had no expression, and he was still there with his eyes closed before he dared to continue talking.
"What did you ask me to come over? If there's something to say, if it's okay, I'll go. Qin Yiming has no good feelings for these people, Kang Shengnan is not here, and he doesn't want to stay any longer.
Kang Youtian was anxious, and said: "Lord Qin, Lord Qin is a little calm, please stay, we do have something to ask." I heard Erlang say before that there was a rumor in the palace that if I want my eldest man to come out, I still need to ask Lord Qin, so ......"
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's useless to beg me now, I'm a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and it's hard to protect myself!" Qin Yiming was embarrassed.
"Why is that?" Kang Shiyuan asked puzzled.
"You don't know, you have so many friends in the court, and you haven't heard any news about this? Speaking of which, it's not your good big brother, bite me back, your Kang family bought pictures and sold them to Chen Yunze, I don't know anything about this matter, your eldest brother just said that I colluded with you and knew about it, and now those ministers in the outer court say that I don't know about it, and even the theft of the Li family is said to be arranged by me. Qin Yiming was a little surprised, the Kang family had been entrenched in Beijing for many years, how could they not inquire about the news?!
"What, eldest brother is really like this......" Kang Shiyuan didn't expect that his eldest brother would frame him, and he was instantly angry.
"We really don't know, these adults, it's too late for them to hide from our Kang family, we can't enter the house, there is really no way now, this time it's a disaster to exterminate the clan, we can't wait for death." Kang Youtian looked helpless, when those adults went to their house to withdraw money, he knew that something was wrong, he did find many ways, but no one dared to receive him.
"Rebel!" The white-haired old man said a word, Kang Youtian and Kang Yingyuan were silent, and they didn't dare to gasp.
Qin Yiming was very curious, in this ancient society, is the status of the elderly so high? Think about the future generations, the children and grandchildren who are a little more filial, can still listen to the old man's words, those unscrupulous children and grandchildren, simply as the words of the elders as a deaf ear, even think the old man is verbose, too lazy to listen, look at the old man in front of him, snort casually, the children and grandchildren dare not breathe.
"The child is pampered, and the big one is dear!" The old man was not angry and self-assured, Kang Youtian had a worried and self-blamed face, and Kang Shiyuan's expression was weird, as if he was stealing fun.
"You all go out, I have something to say to Lord Qin." The old man commanded, and the two quickly exited the room.
Qin Yiming also sat down honestly, the ancestor of the Kang family in front of him looked old, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if he could see everything.
The old man took a sip of tea, his deep eyes scanned Qin Yiming's body, and then said slowly: "The Kang family has been passed down to me for eight generations, and I have passed the age of antiquity, and I think that I have read countless people, for you, today I only found out that I was blind." In such a situation, calm and calm, even I, an old man who is about to enter the ground, can't do it. ”
"Old man, you're joking, you haven't looked at me before, why don't you take a look? Besides, I'm just a small person, not as calm as you say. Qin Yiming replied with a smile, but in his heart he wanted to say, the emperor trusts us, what is there to be afraid of.
"Hehe, Lord Qin speaks very funny, although Lao Yu is not allowed to marry Shengnan, but he has been paying attention to your affairs, what you do, Lao Yu knows everything, you are better than my unfilial descendants! The most valuable thing is that you have us Han people in your heart. The old man praised.
"The old man praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed!"
"This time I came, I came for my eldest grandson, the Kang family is thin, he is also my designated heir to the family, he can't have anything, so I personally went out, hoping that someone can really ask, I didn't expect me to come to Beijing, the situation has changed like this, it has reached the point where I can't clean it up, so I hope Lord Qin will help our Kang family through this crisis and wash away the grievances of our Kang family." The old man said slowly, his face was full of traces of time, and he couldn't see his expression, but through his eyes, Qin Yiming saw the old man's self-confidence, and he didn't know where the confidence came from.
"Old man, don't you think too highly of me, I'm just a martial artist, besides, your eldest grandson has admitted it, and said that I know the inside story, these ......"
"The Kang family, there will never be a traitor to the enemy, absolutely not, this is the ancestral training of the Kang family, if it is discovered, not only will it be expelled from the country, but it will also be beaten to death with a stick!" The old man interrupted Qin Yiming's words, his face was slightly red, and he was obviously already angry.
Qin Yiming was quite curious, the Kang family still had such an ancestral teaching, this old man didn't seem to be lying, Qin Yiming felt a sense of admiration in his heart, and he spontaneously arose.
The ancestor of the Kang family continued: "The change of civil engineering is the pain of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the pain of my Kang family, Emperor Yingzong was captured, many civil ministers and military generals were killed, and they were killed together, as well as the patriarch of our Kang family who raised grain and grass for the imperial court in Datong, and later the relationship between the two countries eased, but our Kang family found that if it were not for the fact that the Mongols bought a large amount of grain, pig iron and salt from the mainland, the Mongols would not have the ability to attack my Ming Dynasty, so the Kang family has established family rules since then, These materials must not be sold to the enemies who oppose the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we will be the people of the Ming Dynasty who will be harmed in the end. ”
"The Kang family really admires it, it's really a righteous businessman!" Qin Yiming exclaimed.
"Although our Kang family has been specializing in Jiubian for many years and has accumulated countless accumulations, but after all, they are lowly businessmen, life and death are in the hands of others, this time the Kang family is in trouble, and those adults will not save them when they see death, I hope that Lord Qin can save them in the eyes of Shengnan's affection, otherwise, hey, if the Kang family is gone, I'm afraid there will be no one who can suppress their Fan family."
"I'll try my best." Qin Yiming didn't want to care about the life or death of the Kang family, but no matter if it didn't work, Kang Shengnan was also a member of the Kang family, and now he heard the head of the Kang family say the family rules of the Kang family, Qin Yiming felt that there was still a fundamental difference between the Kang family and the Fan family, such a businessman, Da Ming should protect it, but when he heard the old man of the Kang family say about the Fan family, he seemed to know what the Fan family was in, so he became curious again.
"Fan family, hehe, old man, what's wrong with the Fan family?"
"The Fan family's ancestral home is Jiexiu, Shanxi, and it was originally a little-known small businessman, but the Fan family has a big development in the hands of Fan Yongdou, and in just a few decades, the wealth of the Fan family has expanded hundreds of times. Fan Yongdou is indeed a talent, but unfortunately his mind is not right. ”
"A hundredfold? How is Fan Yongdou so powerful? ”
"It's nothing, the imperial court imposed a material blockade on the Jianyu outside the Guan, only open to the Mongols, Liaozuo once asked someone to find me, hoping that our Kang family would collect grain, pig iron and other materials for the Tartars, but how could I be a person who forgot his ancestors for the sake of the petty profits, Fan Yongdou learned about the needs of the Liaozuo Tartars, and took the initiative to contact them and trade with Liaozuo, and the goods looted by the Jianyu every time were also handed over to the Fan family to sell in the Guan, so that the Fan family has accumulated a lot of money in just a few decades, and it is not weaker than our Kang family, There is even a tendency to catch up. ”
"Why didn't the imperial court arrest the Fan family and copy the Fan family? Such profiteers should be killed! Qin Yiming was very surprised, it turned out that the evil deeds of the Fan family were not known to him as a traverser, and someone had already known about them in the Ming Dynasty.
"Hehe, the imperial court is open to the trade of the Mongols, and the Fan family and Liaozuo have always been intermediaries through the Mongols, how to arrest them? The cunning Fan family did not leave evidence at all, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Dolgon led troops to attack the forces of Lin Dan Khan, why did he invade Datong on the way back, specifically attacking Zhangjiabao, it was not because there were materials that the Fan family had already prepared. Moreover, the Fan family has also been operating in Beijing for several years, and there will be people in the court to protect their Fan family. But although I can't move them, but I won't let them have a good time, the wheat and sorghum in the north, a large amount of it is controlled by me, and it is difficult for him to collect a large amount of grain and grass, but unfortunately I can't do anything in the south of the Yangtze River, I let Shengnan develop grain trading in the south of the Yangtze River, trying to control the grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately it also failed. The old man was quite lost.
Qin Yiming nodded, Daming's policy has always been to win over Mongolia and North Korea, wanting to form a three-sided attack on the Jurchens, such a group beating policy is not subtle from a macro point of view, but the strength of Daming is too weak, the Mongols have long been conquered, and North Korea is now also conquered, that is, the power of Lin Dan Khan, the last bloodline of the Golden Family, has been conquered, and there are no allies outside the Guan, and now it is three families joining forces.
To say that the Kang family's grain trading in Jiangnan was still disturbed by themselves, when Kang Shengnan strongly attacked Xu Zhen'er's grain trading, he took action by himself, and forced Kang Shengnan to give up his attempt to do grain business in Jiangnan with iron tire silver, and now I don't know if it's right or wrong. However, the old man in front of him, whether it was his vision and strategy, or the feelings of the Han people, made Qin Yiming admire, and also made Qin Yiming have a good impression of the ancestor of the Kang family.
"I also want to ask, old man, why do you think I can save the Kang family?" Qin Yiming didn't understand where the confidence on the old man's face came from.
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, dogs will bite people when they enter the poor alley!" And in the eyes of others, the Kang family and you are inseparable. ”
Qin Yiming whispered for a while, I haven't been killed yet.
Back in Jinyiwei Prison, a bad news came, Kang Yingyuan committed suicide in fear of crime!
