Fan Yongdou is like a huge spider lying in the middle of a spider's web, keenly observing everything around him. He couldn't see or understand what Fan Yubin did, but the countermeasure he took was to fully support and cooperate. Just when he was about to use the treasury silver accumulated by the Fan family for several generations to transport it to Jiangnan, Fan Yubin took the initiative to find him and asked him to wait for the China Merchants Association to make a decision later. Fan Yongdou didn't understand where Fan Yubin got so much confidence and confidence.

However, with his many years of rich experience in business and extremely keen sense of smell, there is one thing that cannot be delayed any longer: it is time for Fan Sanba to enter Beijing.

What everyone doesn't know is that a butterfly that was supposed to be in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America has come to Daming silently, and in Zhangjiakou, it began to flap its wings. What everyone doesn't know is what kind of tornado will be brought about by the flapping of wings, which will sweep the Ming Dynasty and even the entire world.

The night was mellow, and the dark sky was dotted with stars, and occasionally shooting stars streaked across the night sky, adding some vitality to the dull night of Jingshi.

It was not only the night in Beijing that was dull, but also the stormy and crumbling Ming court. The current Ming Dynasty is corrupt, there are many friends, natural disasters are continuous, and the people are not happy. In the north, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is eyeing each other, there are Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves who are rampant, and in the southern seas, there are countries such as the Netherlands who have repeatedly seized the border, which can be said to be as dangerous as an egg.

Jingshi South Luoguxiang is still full of lights and wine, and warblers are singing and dancing. In a delicate courtyard in Mao'er Hutong, Wang Dehua was lying comfortably on a soft couch, squinting his eyes. Two seductive maids were gently beating his legs, and a maid was slowly fanning him. Not far from the bed, Fan Sanba was kneeling respectfully on the ground.

Wang Dehua, a native of Datong, Shanxi, was called the second prince at the time, and in the last years of Chongzhen, he was the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, in charge of the East Factory, which was the biggest reliance of the Fan family in the inner court.

"Three pulls! How difficult it is for the country. You Jin merchants can't be quiet for two days, don't make any more moths. A thin, cold voice slowly sounded in the room.

"Sanba doesn't understand, please ask my father-in-law for advice." Fan Sanba's heart sank, and said pitifully.

"The miscellaneous family is old, and I don't want to do much. But there is a saying that the official said: Some people in the border areas are selfish and for personal gain, and move artisans without permission in an attempt to shake the country's foundation. The emperor worries about state affairs all day long, and those are all major events of the military state, how can these little things bother the emperor. Our family, just detain these. Wang Dehua said slowly.

Fan Sanba's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "This matter, let the little one explain it to his father-in-law slowly." After speaking, Fan Sanba waved his hand, and the three maids gently withdrew. He clapped his hands again, and a maid held a tray covered with red satin cloth in both hands and placed it on a small step in front of Wang Dehua's soft couch, gently retreated, and closed the door.

Wang Dehua casually lifted the red cloth, and his fine eyes suddenly flashed. The tray was full of rarities: two beautiful round mirrors, a clairvoyant mirror, a small blanket with bright patterns, a small piece of pale white cashmere, and a piece of paper. Wang Dehua picked up the piece of paper with two fingers, which was a dry stock that had already gone through the formalities.

Wang Dehua looked at it, and the corners of his mouth rose significantly. He put down the agreement, picked up a round mirror and looked at it again, and couldn't put it down. He also has a side to such a mirror, which was once displayed in front of Fan Yongdou, which was given to him by Chongzhen, and it is said to be a Western tribute, but that one is very different from the two mirrors in front of him. The diorama is even more priceless, it is a Western product only available to the emperor and the prince. There are a lot of blankets in the palace, but they are also bought from Hu merchants or tributes from Hu people at a large price. He touched the wool again, it was fine and soft, and it was indeed a good thing.

"Sanba, we're all a family, sit down, don't see the outside so much." Wang Dehua pointed to an embroidery pier in front of the collapse with his hand, Fan Sanba quickly thanked him and carefully sat on the embroidery pier with half of his buttocks. I heard Wang Dehua continue: "Let's just say it, you are all good children, and you won't lose the face of our Shanxi people." Look at it, such a rare thing has been made, sharing the worries of the emperor and relieving the suffering of the people. This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, what is it with a few craftsmen. Those who speak are the masters who have nothing to do, and you do not need to pay attention to them. ”

"There is one more thing I want to ask for publicity, see if it can be done?" Fan Sanba glanced at Wang Dehua and said cautiously. "Hehe, Sanba, the old saying doesn't say: the townsman sees the fellow, the tears are in his eyes, we are the countryman, and we are a family, just say anything, our family will call the shots for you." Wang Dehua made a rare joke and laughed dryly twice, the laughter was sharp and thin, very scary, but the words were very arrogant.

"The dog wanted to open a workshop in Suzhou and Songjiang. However, my father-in-law also knows that there are many heroes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sometimes, even a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake. Fan Sanba nodded and said, looking directly at Wang Dehua with his eyes.

Wang Dehua sat up and said sharply: "Three pulls." Our family has long told your father that we will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to develop. What future can you have if you always guard the barren land on the nine sides? Even the emperor said that half of our Daming's money went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Look at the civil officials in the court, they don't have business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Look at the cow they talked to the emperor in the court, isn't it just full and confident! Ahem, ahem... Wang Dehua coughed excitedly.

Wang Dehua took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "You can go boldly and with confidence, tomorrow I will send a message to the eunuchs left behind in Nanjing and the Dongchang fanzi, and let them help us take care of it. ”

The next night, Fan Sanba appeared again in the mansion of Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War. In Yang Sichang's living room, Yang Sichang sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, and Fan Sanba sat in the guest seat with him, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Although Yang Sichang is cunning and ruthless, he treats people with a kind spirit. He has a good reputation, and he will do things for you when he collects money, and he will do as much as he collects. Yang Sichang also had a tray with a red cloth lifted next to him, and the other things were the same as those given to Wang Dehua by the Fan family, except that the dry shares were exchanged for a large silver ticket.
