Chapter 613: Three masters
Yan Congnian was really angry, his hand tapped the small window again, and after a while, there was a squeak, the window did not open, and the young man walked out of the door next to him with a wooden stick.
"Qing Yongchang, you dare to make trouble, don't want to live?" The guy had a fierce face, "I can't kill you." ”
Yan Congnian was in front of the Ming army, his ugliness was exhausted, and he returned to Jiangning, although he was not as good as the Manchu officials, but he was also a superior person, and he could still make people powerful on his head.
The guy was about to fight, and the wooden stick with his arm was thick, if he was hit with a stick, Yan Congnian couldn't stand it, his face was shocked, and he shouted as he retreated, "You call the king to worship, he knows me." ”
There are more than ten offerings in this pawnshop, but the oldest one is still the old worship from Shanxi, not because of the unique vision, but because it is the old man of the Fan family, deeply trusted by Fan Yongdou, this pawnshop is basically managed by the king.
Yan Congnian shouted, alarming the people in the shop, and the people in the house heard the noise outside, and an old man's voice came out, "What's the noise?" ”
The guy hurriedly collected his movements, turned back first and said, "Offering, there is nothing to do, the small one can be solved." ”
When the old man heard the voice, he felt a little familiar, but he walked out, and the man saw this and said, "Worship, this person is making trouble, I will drive him away immediately." After speaking, he carried the stick and went up, but the old man stopped him, he looked Yan Congnian up and down, and immediately recognized it, surprised and delighted, "Shopkeeper Yan, why are you?" Weren't you captured by the Ming army? How did you get back? ”
"Shopkeeper Yan? Caught? The man was stunned for a moment, but then immediately threw away the stick, and knelt down.
The big shopkeeper of Qing Yongchang helped the Qing Dynasty to transport mines and cast cannons, and arrested the Ming army on the Yangtze River, and Qing Yongchang naturally knew it.
The business contributed a lot to the Qing Dynasty, and the rivers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a credit to the Qing Yongchang, so the Qing Yongchang could be so horizontal, but they could only be in the Qing Dynasty, which fell into the hands of the Ming army, and the business name thought that Yan Congnian would definitely be beheaded by the Ming army, and had already lit incense and burned paper for him.
This guy also took a stick of incense, he didn't expect Yan Congnian to come back alive, the guy was not scared, he quickly slapped himself in the face, and apologized in a low voice, completely lost the fierce and vicious appearance of Fang Cai, "The small one has eyes and no beads, and the big shopkeeper doesn't remember the villain." ”
Yan Congnian saw the guy slapping his face, and his heart was happy, he was not an adult, how could he not hold a grudge in his heart, but he didn't have time to deal with it now, he first smiled at Wang Feng: "Wang Xian, is the head of the family in Jiangning?" ”
"The ships of the Ming army are crisscrossing the Yangtze River, and the head of the family is still in Yangzhou, but the three masters have just come to Jiangning from Yuhang." Wang Feng said worriedly: "Big treasurer, come in quickly." ”
After saying that, Wang Xian turned sideways, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and then glanced at the guy again, and said angrily: "Things that don't have long eyes, don't get out quickly." ”
The man's cheeks were flushed, and after listening to Ruomeng's amnesty, his job was saved, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "The small one knows his mistake, and the small one will get out." After finishing speaking, he really rolled out, like Yan Congnian a month ago, it was really like a gathering of likes, not a family that didn't enter the door.
Yan Congnian looked at his ugly appearance, and immediately remembered that he was probably like this at that time, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he couldn't help waving his sleeves and snorting coldly, "You don't have to come tomorrow." ”
With that, he strode into the door, and the rolling man was suddenly dead.
The front of the pawnshop is a small window and a small door, very shabby, but there is a hole in the back, the hall is very wide, magnificent, why is it so designed, probably to tell the pawn that I am also poor, convenient to reduce the price.
At this time, someone in the hall asked, "Who is the king?" ”
"The three masters, it's the shopkeeper Yan who has escaped back!"
When a middle-aged man heard this, he happened to see Yan Congnian enter the house, hurriedly put down the teacup, and said in surprise: "Congnian, how did you escape, I thought you were killed by the Ming army." ”
This middle-aged man is the third master of Qing Yongchang, Fan Yongdou's brother, called Fan Yongsheng, is the person in charge of Qing Yongchang's procurement of materials in Jiangnan and Zhejiang.
Yan Congnian saluted Fan Yongsheng, then looked at the hall and saw that there were no outsiders, and said honestly: "Three masters, I didn't escape, but the Ming army deliberately let it go." ”
When Fan Yongsheng heard this, he suddenly woke up, his face changed, and he hurriedly instructed Wang Xian to arrange for someone to be outside the hall, and then closed the door, and he took Yan Congnian to the back hall.
"What happened when I went to Tongling to extract mine?" Fan Yongsheng looked at Yan Congnian, and saw that he was in rags, and his whole person was also thin and darkened, and he didn't seem to have received preferential treatment from the Ming army, so he felt a lot more relieved, he asked Yan Congnian to sit down, and then asked nervously: "Why did the Ming army let you come back, but is there anything important for you to convey?" ”
The Jin merchants' support for the Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally a secret, but since the Manchu Qing Dynasty held a banquet in Bauhinia City, specifically thanked Fan Yongdou, Qi Liangyu, Huang Yunfa and other eight Jin merchants, and gave them the title of "Imperial Merchants", the Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, which is already a matter known to the world.
It can be said that as the relationship between the Jin merchants and the Manchu Qing Dynasty leaked out of the world, the Jin merchants have been tied to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are both prosperous and loss-making.
If the Ming Dynasty defeated the Manchu Qing, they would inevitably suffer a liquidation, and the Jin merchants had no way back, they could not support the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would not tolerate their group of things that ate inside and out.
Fan Yongsheng was a little puzzled, what did the Ming army want to do when Yan Congnian came back?
"Three masters, the Ming army let me come back because there is an important matter that I want to trade with our firm." Yan Congnian said.
"Deal?" Fan Yongsheng was taken aback.
"The Ming army's sailors are now cut off from transportation, as long as the merchant provides grain and grass for the Ming army and pays a sum of silver, the Ming army can let some of the merchant's ships pass through the Yangtze River." Yan Congnian continued.
Fan Yongsheng frowned when he heard this, a large number of cargo ships and materials in Yongchang in the Qing Dynasty were stranded in the north and south of the Yangtze River because the Grand Canal was cut off by the Ming army, and the tea, silk, and porcelain purchased from Jiangnan at a high price could not be shipped out now, and the products in Jiangnan had no market, all kinds of goods were piled up, and the price had plummeted, and Qing Yongchang could not even recover the cost.
Now because of the lack of materials in the north, the price of various items has skyrocketed, and Jiangnan is bleak, if you can make a deal with the Ming army, the materials from Jiangnan to the north, Qing Yongchang will inevitably make a windfall, but if you provide grain, grass, and silver to the Ming army, it is not equivalent to them collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?
Businessmen pursue profits, Jin merchants are even more so, there are many things to do to sell the country, Fan Yongsheng has no pressure on this, let alone betraying the country, the benefits are big enough, and he will sell his daughter.
Fan Yongsheng was moved by the interests in it, but not long after the Jin merchants sold the Ming Dynasty, they got on the big ship of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and turned around and sold the Qing Dynasty again, this method is too dirty, I am afraid that no one will dare to use the Jin merchants in the future, and the Jin merchants will not be able to believe in the Jin merchants.
In the short term, this matter is definitely profitable, but in the long run, it is a way out, Fan Yongsheng hesitated, waved his hand and said, "This matter is very important, I can't be the master, I have to talk to the head of the family." ”
Yan Congnian just said, the Ming Dynasty did not appease him, and he did not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but he felt that trading with the Ming army could bring a lot of benefits to the firm, and if he could facilitate it, Fan Yongdou would definitely reward him.
Now that he has regained his freedom, Qing Yongchang's big treasurer, he still wants to do it, so it is necessary to see Fan Yongdou, "In this case, the third master will give me a boat, and I will cross the river to meet the master of the family." ”
Fan Yongsheng heard this, straightened up, "The river is full of Ming army warships, what should I do if I am caught?" It is better to stay in Nanjing and take care of the company's industry in Jiangning. ”
"The three masters forgot, did I get it back from the Ming Army?" Yan Congnian said with a smile.
Fan Yongsheng reacted, and immediately said with joy on his face: "Then I will cross the river together, Jiangnan has now become a land of right and wrong, and there may be a war when." ”
The appearance of the Ming army on the Yangtze River made Fan Yongsheng feel uneasy, he felt that Jiangnan might have to change hands, or Jiangbei should be safer.
