"I'm waiting for Brother Fan to be the first to look forward." The seven of them expressed their stance one after another, under such a big crisis, only Fan Xuan had the prestige and ability to lead everyone through the difficulties, and they have all come over this way all these years.

"Even so, I won't shirk it." Fan Xuan took the lead, "You guys will go back later, and gather all the materials, especially grain and green salt, to me, and distribute them uniformly in the next few days, and no one is allowed to stay without permission, okay?" ”

"No, no." The seven people said that they were all old foxes and knew the importance of food, and at such a time, if they were not handled well, they might cause mutiny, and their lives would be in question.

Fan Xuan's move seems to be domineering, but it is the best way.

"Each family will send some trustworthy people." Fan Xuan then arranged, "Come to me later, get some dry food, and hurry back to Zhangjiakou." ”

"Brother Fan, what are you going to do?" someone asked.

"Go back to Zhangjiakou, raise money, and re-purchase items." Fan Xuan said.

"Huh?!" A few people opened their mouths wide, and then their faces fell, "Brother Fan, do you want to raise money to buy it again?" I'm waiting... We can't compare to your family's big business, and this cash can't be turned over for a while. ”

They are not shirking, but they are.

Although the profits are huge, most of the time, you need to advance a huge amount of money in advance, which is still a bit risky.

For example, this time, after receiving a notice from Houjin, they were required to collect a large number of various materials and transport them to Liaodong before they could use the silver money plundered by the Guankou to settle with these eight families.

Therefore, each family has advanced a huge amount of money, basically emptying out their cash, and if they have to pay any more, some assets have to be sold or mortgaged.

"Humph!" Fan Xuan snorted lightly and glanced at these people lightly, "Then what do you say you should do?" Could it be that we just went to Liaodong empty-handed and told the Great Golden Khan, "If our belongings are stolen, please ask the Great Khan to allocate tens of millions of taels of silver to us first, and then we will go and raise the goods?" ”

Several people were forced by Fan Xuan's gaze to dare not look directly, bowing their heads and being speechless.

"Do you believe it or not? If we don't deliver the things as promised this time, in a few days, Zhangjiakou will be broken, and the net worth of you and me will be wiped out, even if it is our lives, we can't make our own decisions! Fan Xuan suddenly raised his voice and said loudly.

Everyone was speechless for a while, knowing that what Fan Xuan said was true, and they were silent for a long time, and someone asked, "That... What should we do with the deficit this time? ”

"What to do? Cold! Fan Xuan said, "If you want to talk about the deficit, I'm afraid everyone here can't catch up with me, the teeth that have been knocked out, everyone can swallow them back, as long as there is no such thing, I will come back after a few more trips to Liaodong in the future." ”

A few people looked at each other, and it was only like this, could they still go to Huang Taiji to ask for some subsidies?

"The people sent back by each family, in addition to being capable, are more important than being strict-mouthed, and they can't reveal anything about today." Fan Xuan then emphasized.

"That's, that's." Everyone should be kind, if it is known by others, the eight major grain merchants will lose face, and many people will take this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Don't think about going back, just take it here, once they show up in Zhangjiakou, it will be a self-confession.

"It's okay to say that the other items are this food, I'm afraid I can't wait for people to come to the door as before." Fan Xuan pondered for a while, "Let the people who collect the grain come to the door in person and visit the major royal mansions." ”

"This is a bit of a break from our old rules, Brother Fan." Someone said.

"I can't take care of it." Fan Xuan waved his hand and said, "Back to Zhangjiakou, let out the rumors to collect grain, and then wait for people to deliver it to the door, how much time will it take, if people see the signs and raise the price, we will have to be squeezed to death." ”

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect this for a while, you know, although Zhangjiakou is dominated by the eight of them, it is not a monolith, there are many people secretly watching, just waiting for their flaws.

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone agreed.

"Okay, the matter of going back to Zhangjiakou is decided." Fan Xuan said, "I'll send some more people to Liaodong to report the situation here to the Great Khan, but ask him to give us some time." ”

"But," Fan Xuan continued, "you can't just be so cheap with these Mongolian tartars. Fan Xuan changed the topic and said the object of his suspicion.

"Brother Fan's words have won my heart."

"That's right, I think these Tartars did it."

Everyone spoke one after another, and they all pointed the suspicion of this theft incident to the local snakes in this area-Mongols.

If you want to say that in this Mongolian steppe, who can get away this huge amount of materials overnight, without knowing it, except for the Mongolians, don't think about it.

"These Tartars, when did they become so treacherous, my people have just seen it, and there is not a trace of it for several miles around." One said.

"They followed the traces we left behind, and they must have covered them up afterwards, how could they leave any traces." Although Fan Xuan hadn't investigated, as long as he thought about it a little, he could come up with this result.

Several people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, ignored the fact that there were almost no traces of the scene.

"What is Brother Fan going to do?" Someone asked.

"Come on, pen and ink are waiting." Fan Xuan first finished his loud command before he said to everyone, "Send someone to Liaodong in a while, and I will attach a letter and send someone to send it to Lord Fan." ”

"Brother Fan is talking about Master Fan, could it be Brother Wen Cheng?" Someone asked.

"Exactly." Fan Xuan nodded, a little complacent.

The rest of the people have complicated visions, some envious and some jealous.

Master Fan, Brother Wen Cheng, refers to the same person, the Wenguan student of Huang Taiji, the Khan of Houjin, although there is no specific official position so far, but because of his extraordinary resourcefulness, he is dedicated to serving Houjin, and many of Houjin's strategies, he is involved in them, and is deeply valued by Huangtaiji.

In line with the concept of "five hundred years ago was one", Fan Xuan and Fan Wencheng had a very early relationship, and later became brothers, with Fan Wencheng's help, Zhangjiakou to Liaodong trade flourished, and the pockets of the eight major grain merchants became more and more abundant.

The eight major grain merchants are headed by the Fan family, in addition to Fan Xuan's ability, it is also very important to have such a strong reinforcement in Houjin.

Do you want to ask Fan Wencheng to intercede, and then teach the Mongols a lesson by the way? Many of you here had this idea.

At this time, on the only table in the tent, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all placed.

"Nothing can be said to others, we are all one, if you can control your mouth, you can see it." Fan Xuan walked to the table as he spoke, picked up the pen, and after a few clicks, a few words jumped on the paper, and a letter was completed.

Watching everyone, some suddenly realized, some deeply admired, and some did not understand.
