On the third day of the Lunar New Year, congratulations on the new year. Ten chapters are still issued today. I wish readers and friends a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!

Fan Yuxin and Fan Yufu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed. They glanced at each other, a little hesitant, and finally Fan Yuxin spoke: "Third brother, on the side of Xuanda, no matter what you do, it doesn't matter too much, but in Songjiang, it is a gunboat and a soldier, which is easy to cause criticism." On the other hand, if we become big in Songjiang and attract people to covet it, Songjiang's geographical advantage will become a disadvantage, and it will be easy for pirates, pirates, and Westerners to invade... That's a catastrophe, and you can't prevent it. ”

"yes!" Fan Yubin said in a deep voice: "In the face of power and force, we businessmen are really too vulnerable, as long as they move their fingers, all our efforts will be wiped out. Well, this Admiral of Wusong Naval Division and the Prefect of Songjiang must find a way to get their hands on it, at least for my use. Fan Yubin's tone became a little cold.

The three brothers of Fan Yubin didn't know that at this moment, in a dark room separated by a wall, Fan Yongdou and Fan Sanba were sitting inside, standing next to them without a shadow. The voices in the hall were heard clearly.

As the conversation continued, the expressions on their faces became more and more exciting. The three brothers, Fan Yuxin, Fan Yufu and Fan Yubin, left the living room for a while, but they still sat there quietly. In the end, they glanced at each other, and there was not only the sadness of the hero's twilight in their eyes, but also the excitement that the blue is better than the blue, and the successor of the Fan family.

"Kind-hearted! Good planning! What a spirit! Good hand! Both sighed at the same time. After a long time, Fan Yongdou's voice sounded slowly: "Sanba, you first meet with a few other family heads to talk and help them." I think it's time for you to go to the capital again. ”

Fan Yuxin, Fan Yufu, Fan Yubin, how did they know that their plans had been heard by their father and grandfather. The three brothers also made an appointment with the eldest brother Fan Yuxin to report these things to his father and grandfather, and then seize the time to carry it out. After the business was arranged, at noon, the three brothers were busy and chatting together, Fan Yutan and Fan Yuqi also came over to join in the fun after hearing the news, and finally the five brothers returned happy.

Tao Te Ching: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." Back in his study, Fan Yubin's mind was still spinning at high speed like a windmill. He now positions himself very clearly, he is the chief designer of this era, the leader and sower of this era. As the saying goes: no pain, no gain. In order to harvest abundant fruits, Fan Yubin will not be stingy with the seeds in his hands.

"The wind is good to borrow strength to help me go to the sky." Xunzi's "Persuasion" also said: Those who fake horses are not profitable, but thousands of miles; Those who fake the boat are not able to water, but the rivers. A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things. To be good at faking things is to be good at taking advantage of external conditions. Morning glory is the "smart man" in nature who knows how to take advantage of external conditions. It grows upwards with the help of everything around it that can be climbed. Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also a "smart person" who is good at taking advantage of external conditions. As soon as he "borrowed arrows from a straw boat", he borrowed back 100,000 arrows; As soon as the east wind was lent, there was a fire to burn the red cliff.

"Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently," Fan Yubin is of course also a smart person who is "good at fake things". All he is doing now is to make full use of the power of the Fan family, knock out the chess pieces one by one, and sow the seeds one by one. In the gentle breeze and drizzle, the enlightenment of the industrial revolution, the germination of science and technology, and the gradual completion of their own layout. So as to realize the transformation of oneself from one to infinity.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step." Fan Yubin muttered softly. He remembered the lead printing technique promised to Fan Sixi, so he called Fan Gui in, and asked Fan Gui to bring a message to the chief manager of the Fan Mansion, asking him to inform all the caravans of the Fan family, and from now on, the caravans should take the initiative to find and buy samples of various metals or ores in the process of traveling. Recently, the focus is on looking for a metal like a tin block in the Jiangnan area.

"Hopefully something will be rewarded." Fan Yubin muttered silently in his heart. Then he took out another account book, smiled and said, "Fan Gui, you give this account book to Fan Youcai, the general ledger room." Let's just say that I made this account book myself, and don't say anything else. ”

Fan Yubin put the idea to the account room, which was also a helpless move. Although there were many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, due to the poison of the Eight Strands of Literature, they were basically elm pimples with rigid thoughts, and they either shook their heads and recited the Four Books and Five Classics all day long, or they were full of mouths and did not know what to do. However, there are a group of young account rooms in the Fan family's account room, which are not only literate and hyphenation, but also flexible in response, which is a material that can be made.

"Yes! Master. Fan Gui replied respectfully. Just about to go out, as if he remembered something, he turned around and said, "Young Master, Miss Qinglian came just now." She asked me to tell the young master. The books are all already fried. ”

"Oh, so fast." Fan Yubin was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Fan Gui, you will work hard after you come back, and hurry up and tidy up." Oh, by the way, I'll inform the private school again, and we'll go over in the evening. I'm going to give them a lesson today. ”

Fan Youcai, the general ledger of the Fan family, sat comfortably in the general ledger room, and while he was sipping tea, he looked at the account book that Fan Gui had just sent.

Speaking of which, Fan Youcai is also a legend in the Fan family, he is actually not very old, only in his early thirties. His surname is Li, his name is Yaozong, and he was born poor. My parents made a living selling tofu. In order to glorify their ancestors and the lintel of the light gate, they went out early and returned late, cut down on food and clothing, and sent their only son to the school, hoping to be named on the gold list one day. Li Yaozong is also competitive, studies hard, and is extremely intelligent, never forgetful, he has become a chapter at a young age, and he has a little fame in the capital. But the strange thing is that not to mention lifting people, even if he is a talent, he has repeatedly failed.

In the end, it was a distant relative of the clan in the yamen who leaked his mouth. It turned out that every time he took the test paper, he was replaced by someone with a background. This distant relative also said conclusively that in order to avoid the matter being exposed, Li Yaozong will never have a bright day in this life and this life.

After the Li family knew the truth, they thundered, and their parents washed their faces with tears every day, and soon died of depression one after another. Li Yaozong was a young man with a strong heart, and rushed to Yingtianfu to beat the drum to sound his grievances. Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, and Li Yaozong has no evidence, so the lawsuit naturally did not win, and Li Yaozong was beaten to the point that his skin was broken, and only half of his life was left. The Li clan also took advantage of the situation and fell into the well, plotting to seize all the property that his family had.
