"It's true, big brother." Seeing that Fan Xuan didn't believe it, Fan Ke hurriedly explained, "When I heard the news at first, I didn't believe it either, so I specially visited one of the chiefs of the Tartars, and found an excuse to go around his sweat tent several times, until I saw the mountain-like grain pile with my own eyes, and I had to believe it. ”

"Someone is ahead of us and sells a lot of grain on the grassland?" Fan Xuan frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

To be able to feed such a large tribe as Sunit, whose caravan strength cannot be underestimated, who will it be?

This sudden appearance of competitors cannot be ignored by Fan Xuan.

Moreover, with so much grain, the scale must be not small, if it is out of Zhangjiakou, it is impossible for him not to know.

Isn't it from Zhangjiakou? Fan Xuan muttered secretly, I'm afraid that only in this way can it make sense.

"I've already inquired about it." Fan Ke said, "It's a trading company that I haven't heard of, what is it called Zhuolu Trading Company." ”

"Zhuolu Trading Company?" Fan Xuan read word by word, "What is the origin of the foot, have you inquired about it?" ”

Fan Ke shook his head, "Those Tartars, how could they have the brains to inquire about the background of a caravan, but it is not without harvest, they actually went to the grassland not to sell grain, but to exchange grain for wool." ”

Fan Ke lifted the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "I heard that their wool has been changed to the sweat tent of Sunit Left Banner, and we didn't want to work in vain, so we didn't go north, so we came back early." ”

The route Fan Ke took was very close to the Great Wall, and the various Sunit tribes they came into contact with were all small tribes, and they were not very clear about the relationship between the Sunit Left Banner, the Dalintai Division, and the Zhuolu Trading Company.

Of course, Lin Yuan, who represented the Zhuolu Trading Company, still used the old method of trading directly with the chiefs, and the leaders of these small tribes were not greedy, and would distribute some grain to the subordinate herdsmen.

As Fan Ke knew, it was just a caravan called Zhuolu Trading Company, which exchanged grain for wool on the grassland, and he didn't know more details.

Of course, he would not have thought to inquire further in detail, in Fan Ke's opinion, such a business method is not unusual, it has always been so.

"Grain for wool?" When Fan Xuan heard this, his voice became louder, and what instantly appeared in his mind was the huge horse team a few days ago, and the horse was put on the horse, wasn't it a large amount of wool? The name of the caravan, he remembered now, seemed to be called Zhuolu Trading Company.

No wonder, Fan Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, no wonder there was no trace of this caravan before it left the customs, in the upper and lower forts of Zhangjiakou, but there were his eyeliners, such a large caravan, if you go out of the customs from here, you will definitely not be able to escape his eyes, since it is the background of the Liaodong bigwig, then everything makes sense.

This caravan must have left a certain pass in Jizhen, and then traveled all the way west, returning to the Central Plains from Zhangjiakou after Sunit exchanged almost all the grain.

As for why they don't trade with Horqin, Haraqin and other tribes, it is also easy to explain, compared with Sunit, these tribes are more inclined to Dajin in terms of geographical location and psychological feelings.

"Huh? What's the matter, big brother? Fan Ke was shocked by his cousin's gaffe, and in his impression, Fan Xuan had always been moody.

"It's fine." Fan Xuan had regained his composure at this moment, convinced that his inference just now was correct, and after a little hesitation, he decided to tell Fan Ke the truth, after all, in the future, the Fan family's external affairs will gradually be dominated by him, and his health will become worse and worse, so he will take on more responsibilities to make suggestions.

"Fan Ke, do you know who is behind this Zhuolu Trading Company?" Fan Xuan gently stirred the tea leaves in the tea bowl with the tea lid and asked.

"You know? Big brother. Just said such a little content, Fan Xuan was able to deduce the backstage of this caravan from this, Fan Ke admired it in his heart, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he is worthy of being the person who brought the Fan family to this point.

Fan Xuan bowed slightly, and pointed to the east with his hand, "The one who just supervised Liaodong." ”

"Hiss..." Fan Ke took a breath of cold air, this person is in the limelight right now.

You must know that blocking people's money is like killing your parents, and Zhuolu Trading Company's move, although it is not directly selling grain, it undoubtedly makes them earn a lot less, and they can already be regarded as enemies.

However, rash revenge, but it is not done by a wise man, who dare to lick blood at the head of the knife and make a living outside the plug, the scale is so large, if they say that they have no backer, no one will believe it, the key is to see how the other party's backer comes from, how much gold is there, can you afford to provoke it?

If it is too hard to provoke, then you can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and let the other party swallow the interests of the outside world, but after all these years, Fan Ke has a kind of self-confidence, today and now, who else does their Fan family dare not provoke and can't provoke?

If that's the case, then, I'm sorry, black and white, no matter what the means, will follow one after another, and if you don't bring down this Zhuolu trading company, you won't give up.

"Really? Big brother. Fan Ke still didn't believe it.

If this is the case, then I am afraid that it will really have to be silenced and stopped.

You must know that this person has made great contributions in the defense of Gyeonggi that has just ended, and the holy family is strong, and he supervises Ji Liao, holding heavy troops, and their Fan family really dare not move other people.

"** not far from ten." Fan Xuan also sighed slightly, how could he be willing to face such a behemoth.

"That..."Fan Ke was still a little unwilling, "Are we just watching them snatch food from our mouths?" ”

"We can't just look at it." Fan Xuan closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "It's time to move, it's just that we just don't move, let's concentrate on watching the play on the side." ”

"Big brother, what do you mean..."Fan Ke still didn't quite understand, so he had to ask Fan Xuan for advice.

Fan Xuan sighed slightly in his heart, this Fan Ke is loyal to the family, but his head is not very bright, if Yongdou is here, he has already understood everything by now, he can do what he wants, and if it is properly arranged, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Like Fan Ke, he has to explain it in detail by himself, and I'm afraid that the follow-up action is inseparable from his own guidance.

Thinking of Fan Yongdou, Fan Xuan felt a pain in his heart, a few days ago, he had released the flying slaves, so that the people in Jinnan would focus on Zhou Chengyun and Zhang and Wang, the two old guys, in order to find out the whereabouts of Yongdou, and they didn't know what the situation was.

"Big brother, big brother!" Fan Ke called a few times in a row, pulling Fan Xuan back to reality from his contemplation, and said with a smile, "Thank you, give me a good talk, how to deal with this Zhuolu Trading Company?" ”
