Happy New Year. Ten chapters were released today, two chapters every two hours. I wish readers and friends a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!

After a while, Fan Yongdou sat up straight. His hands trembled, his eyes were slightly red, and he stared at Fan Yubin for a long time before he asked expectantly, "Is there a way to change this ending?" ”

Fan Yubin stood up, straightened his clothes, shook his sleeves, knelt down again, kowtowed again, and said resolutely: "It's man-made." I am a descendant of the Fan family, and my body is the blood of the Fan family, and my fate is closely related to the Fan family, sharing honor and disgrace. The light lintel and the glory of the ancestors are the mission and responsibility of each descendant of the Fan family. As a descendant of the Fan family, I will never let such a tragedy happen in our Fan family. Fan Yubin's tone was sincere, as if he was telling an immortal oath.

The three ancestors and grandchildren, you look at me, I look at you, your eyes are all moist, and your eyes are full of tears.

"Good, good boy!" Fan Yongdou said with a little emotion, feeling a sense of relief in his heart for no reason, and the troubles of several days were swept away. He stood up tremblingly and reached out to help Fan Yubin. Fan Yubin also gently held the pair of old, slightly cool hands. The two touched their hands, and the grandparents and grandchildren seemed to feel that their hearts were connected and their blood was connected, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile lightly. This smile is like a spring breeze blowing, and the relaxed atmosphere is overflowing in the study.

Fan Yubin seemed to remember something, took out a pile of paper from his sleeve, opened the small box he brought with him, took out a few pale stones, and respectfully handed them to Mrs. Fan. Then he smiled and said, "The child has done some homework recently, and I ask my grandfather and father to help the child check the gates." ”

Old lady Fan took the roll of paper and looked at it slowly with Fan Sanba.

In the slight commotion, Fan Yubin curiously looked at the most mysterious place of this Fan Mansion. The study is very simple, with a table and a few chairs, all of which are in their true colors. Behind the desk are several bookcases with quite a few books neatly arranged. There is also a plaque hanging on the wall, on which the book "quit laziness, quit greed, quit anger", the big black characters penetrate the back of the paper, full of ancient meaning, obviously from everyone's hands.

Fan Yongdou and Fan Sanba looked at the stack of papers in their hands, their faces changed like a carousel, and their hands kept trembling slightly.

"Is this true? Can these things really be made? I'm not dreaming, am I? Fan Yongdou asked tremblingly. Fan Sanba, who was sitting under him, was also surprised and shocked.

"Grandpa, father, it's true." Fan Yubin affirmed: "The technology and process of the production of these things are not complicated. And we also have a good location, and the cost is very small. You see, this is the raw material for raw glass and glass mirrors. I went out today to take a look, and the nearby mountains are full of this ore. The same is true for wool spinning, and the last thing that is lacking in the prairie is wool and cashmere. I'm going to use hydro-textile, which is dozens of times more efficient than manual weaving. Wool cloth and cashmere cloth are of better quality than cotton cloth, and they are also particularly cold-proof and warm-proof, which is most suitable for our north. The wool carpets woven from them are no worse than Persian carpets. As for the steel workshops, the last thing we need here is coal and iron ore, which are of good quality and high quality. Moreover, there is the convenience of water transportation of the Qing River and the Yang River. It can be said that we are in Baoshan and do not know the treasure, and it is a pity not to use it. ”

Fan Yongdou and Fan Sanba's eyes lit up when they heard this. You must know that whether it is a glass mirror or a Persian carpet, they are all brought by the Hu people of the Western Regions or Western merchants from thousands of miles, and the quantity is very small, and the prices sold in Daming are sky-high. Silk and cotton cloth in the border trade business accounted for a large proportion, the Fan family also has to travel thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River every year to contact the source of goods, the freight is sky-high, if the local production of woolen products better than cotton cloth quality, the profit...

"How do you know that?" Fan Sanba was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't help it, and blurted out.

Fan Yongdou shook his hand and motioned to Fan Sanba not to ask, and Fan Yubin did not need to answer this question.

"Then why join forces with a few others? As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. These businesses are capable of doing it. Isn't the exclusive business more lucrative? Fan Sanba asked angrily, with unwillingness in his tone. This time, Fan Yongdou didn't stop him, he just looked at Fan Yubin silently to see how he answered this question.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Now is a troubled time, and it is a good way to report to the group to keep warm. What's more, with such a big business, our family really can't afford it. If you eat too much, you'll break your belly. Fan Yubin smiled and said calmly.

"There's no need to build a new fort, can't those workshops be placed in Zhangjiakou Fort? The cost of building a new castle is not small! After listening to Fan Yubin's answer, Fan Sanba nodded, noncommittal, and then asked.

"There are too many mobile people in Zhangjiakoubao, and the personnel are complex, and there are many eyeliners from all sides, which is not conducive to secrecy. At present, these workshops are just the beginning, and the children will launch other products one after another. So the boy wanted to build a new fort that would be easy to defend, keep secret, and manage. The child saw a wasteland about five miles east of Zhangjiakou Fort, surrounded by mountains on both sides and water on one side, where the traffic is convenient, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to build a fort. The main thing is that the Daqing River can provide hydraulic power for our workshops. Fan Yubin smiled and continued to explain methodically.

When Fan Yongdou and Fan Sanba heard this, they both lightly bowed their foreheads and smiled, which was very appreciative.

Suddenly, Fan Yongdou's slow voice sounded in the study: "Bin'er, if you are asked to preside over the Fan family, what are you going to do?" ”

Fan Sanba and Fan Yubin heard that they were like being struck by lightning, like a rock breaking the earth. The cyan color on Fan Sanba's face seemed to have worsened a lot, and he kept coughing gently. Fan Yubin's face also changed suddenly, he quickly stood up, fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "My grandson is young and shallow, and I never dared to think so badly. ”

Fan Yongdou's face was kind, and he said gently: "Get up, you are the eldest grandson of the Fan family, and it is only a matter of time before you take charge of the Fan family." Today, here are three generations of our grandparents, you can talk about it, and your father and I will listen to it. ”

Fan Yubin stood up in fear, carefully sat back in his seat, and he pondered for a while before he said slowly: "My understanding of business is that business is humane, and it is also the way of heaven. To do business is to win people's hearts. The so-called business is not to earn money, but to earn people's hearts, not to get profits, but to gain people's hearts, to earn people's hearts to get people's hearts, this is to do business, and at that time, money will naturally follow. If you only know how to chase money desperately, this is not called business, but a slave to money. ”
