Yang Fan has several advantages in asking for money. First, he is the lord - Ling Hebo, let's talk about the grade, he is a super-quality title, and it is indeed the title that every military attache dreams of. Generally, Wenchen doesn't have to think about it, Wen Zhi Taifu, Wu Zhi knighted. Since they are all Ling Hebo, these officials in the court, big and small, naturally give face. The second is that you don't have any real power, and people have nothing to impeach you. The most important thing is that Yang Fan is now a big celebrity next to the emperor, which is terrifying.

Now the Fu King in Luoyang, people have also been crowned kings. I didn't see the contribution of hundreds of officials. Being a prince is not necessarily a beauty difference, not to mention that he can't enter Beijing, and even his daily life is monitored.

Pulling ten boxes of silver, it's really hard to go out. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei came over, and Yang Fan directly started shopping hard, which caused a lot of commotion in the local area.

That guy is really no different from robbing things, but the vendors are happy to be "robbed", and they all shout, "Little official, there is good fine iron here." ”

"Little official, do you want to have a few baskets of fruit here?" These fruits were all stacked one by one and were wrapped by Yang Fan. Fortunately, it's not the middle of summer, otherwise it is estimated that less than half of it will be eaten, and it will be rotten.

Yang Fan was ready to spend all the 50,000 taels of silver, which could be regarded as capricious. First of all, there are hoes for farming, and when it comes to Australian soil, how can you farm without thousands of hoes? Is it possible to make iron and steel? It's too slow, I don't have that effort, just sell it. The entire Quanzhou port blacksmith shop was overturned. So many farm tools were sent to the ship one by one, and in addition, rice and other grains were also swept away by Yang Fan.

The whole Quanzhou was stunned by this move. I've seen a lot of this money-spendthrifty uncle, but you've ever seen tens of thousands of taels of silver spent on food. It's like if you see a local tyrant throwing a few thousand taels of silver, but have you ever seen a local tyrant spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy cabbage?

Now Yang Fan is doing such a thing. This kind of thing is a bit stupid in the eyes of both the poor and the rich. It's really stupid, and even Sun Yi and Li Yuhuan behind him don't know what to say. When you enter the shop, you see what you see and take what, it's really no different from robbing.

Yang Fan sat in a carriage and wandered among the shops in Quanzhou. When you get to a place, you buy something from a place. No pots and pans will be spared.

"Sir, this bowl is pretty good. The price is only 10 cents. ”

"Yes. Good. A thousand. Yang Fan was busy collecting fine iron, and he didn't care about the purchase of Sun Yi's utensils, "Don't trouble me about this little thing, take a thousand taels, and buy whatever you like." Yang Fan was surrounded by a large number of vendors, who came up with their best prices and wanted Yang Fan to go to their store to purchase.

"Hey, I said Liu Hui. Have the 100 camp tents been approved by the general soldiers? "Yang Fan has prepared a lot of things, and now he is really going south, and these essential things for life have to be purchased.

"Oh, sir, it's approved. The general soldier of the car is dispatching, and it is estimated that it will be delivered tomorrow. Liu Hui leaned down and said, "I said sir, we have almost bought it, isn't it time to go back." You see there are more and more people here, and if there is a mistake, the responsibility will not be borne by the subordinates. ”

Yang Fan put down the things in his hand and asked, "How is the procurement of grain and iron?" ”

"It's all full. The price of these things was originally cheap, mainly the white rice of 5,000 stones, which cost 10,000 taels of silver, and the other bits and pieces added up to 5,000 taels. Yang Fan raised his eyes, "It turns out that this silver is so spent, before in the Beijing Division, it had to be fast." Did the things in the restaurant come out? ”

"Carried out, dead and dead."

Yang Fan sneered, can it not sink, the dead fat man of three hundred catties is like a pig, and it is also thanks to the strength of the two young men in brocade clothes, it took a lot of effort to carry it out. When they arrived on the boat, the two little brothers were sweating, and their clothes were soaked. Yang Fan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back." Wait for the order flag and ammunition of Ming'er Zheng Dudu to be delivered, and we will set off. ”

……

The winter in Quanzhou is not too cold, and in North China or Northeast China, it has reached the coldest day, and the dog freezes to death. This year, Huang Taiji did not go out to hunt, but sat in the warm room of Shengjing City, thinking about the ridiculous battle of Linghe City a year ago. His hands, because he has held the bow for many years, the tiger's mouth and palms are a little dry and hard, and at this time, the palace surprisingly set up a stove in the middle. The three of them sat around the stove.

Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon, the three brothers, have not sat together so leisurely for a long time. Dai Shan has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and he looks like an old dragon clock. Especially after the First World War last year, it became a little lazy. Of the three brothers, only Dolgon was in his prime.

"Fourteenth brother, what happened to the Mongolian Lindan tribe?"

"Starling, Lin Dan Khan died in Qinghai, and now Monan Mongolia is almost all my gold. Lin Dan Khan's son Ezhe surrendered to his mother to pass on the national seal. It's also time for Starling to ascend the throne and become emperor. ”

Huang Taiji, who was not confused, sat on the right seat, with a trace of fatigue on his face, hung his hand on the chair, and said: "Second brother, fourteenth brother, tell me, is this honorable title feasible?" ”

"Why not? Now that Mongolia is obedient, my Dajin is more powerful, at this time starling is not the emperor, when will he be the emperor? Dorgon asked rhetorically. He understood that the battle of the Da Ling River last year had extinguished the hope of the originally confident Babel Ye with a basin of cold water.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Huang Taiji turned his gaze to Dai Shan, who had been silent. From that calm and lazy face, I hope to find a hint of ground. Dai Shan looked at the stove, and the charcoal fire on the top was a little weak, so he dialed it with iron tongs and said, "Eighth brother should be honored." I understand that last year's defeat was a bit humiliating, and now morale is low, and it's time to reinvigorate it. However, there is another place, I think the eighth brother should go to pacify before becoming emperor. ”

"Where?" Huang Taiji asked.

"North Korea. Although it has been fought in previous years, it has also been knotted. But this North Korea is still a vassal state of the Han people, and now the situation is unstable, if we are attacked from both sides, it will be difficult for us to act, so we should quickly take North Korea, including those in Dongjiang. Only when the backyard is stable, can we have the opportunity to go west, and your seat can be secured, Eighth Brother. "Dai Shanjian yì said.

Huang Taiji nodded, "Next year, I will personally lead the troops, this time, if I don't fight to Seoul, let this North Korea be obedient, and vow not to give up!" ”

"By the way, did the wizard who defeated my army of 50,000 inquire clearly? What kind of master he is, not to mention the treacherous marching formation, he is even more bold and careful. "Huang Taiji is still angry about the battle of Dalinghe, and he can't let go, this is almost the worst defeat he has ever experienced. The initiator of this qiē is Yang Fan.

"Yes. According to the spies of Shuntianfu, the man was a disciple of a mountain master. After the first battle of Da Linghe, he was named Linghe Bo. But not only did he not get the fief, but he was also suppressed everywhere. It is said that he started trading in Shuntianfu, and the Han emperor also took the grain he had exchanged for to the northwest for disaster relief. ”

"Doing business? Scold. Huang Taiji crossed his hands, "Chongzhen is a mean person after all." The right does not dare to hand over people, and the benefits are not willing to let people. If I get this master, tens of thousands of troops will be handed over to him, so why not really give him the title of king and tear the earth? But it's also good for us that such a difficult bone is now being suppressed and squeezed out. Fourteenth brother. ”

"Starling, you say." Dorgon was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by the Emperor.

"You are brave and good at fighting, and now that Ertai has died, I don't want to lose any of our brothers. On the Mo Nan side, you are also the owner of the White Banner, and now that the Chahar Department is submissive, you will continue to contact the tribes over there, and it is best that Mobei and Moxi are both under the account of my Dajin King. ”

"Dolgon won't let the starlings down."

The fire in the house licked the cold air, and the windows were not closed, whistling and swaying in the cold wind.

……

……

In the Shuncheon Mansion, the snow hugs the green tiles. Both rich and poor seem to be enjoying the joy of the New Year. In Limindang, several old men sat around the table, a green lamp, and a few dishes of wine and food.

"When do you think the lord will come back?"

"I don't know, this Nanyang is estimated to be far away. Who knows, we just need to take care of these three shops for the lord, and don't care about the rest. ”

Sun Shenming chewed a few peanuts, rested his elbows on the table, and shrugged his shoulders, "Ge Nie also came here yesterday, and in the past few days, it seems that there are a lot of miscellaneous pieces, and he always comes to make trouble." ”

"Well, there is a scoundrel today, taking a broken stone, insisting that the ancestral treasure jade should be used as five hundred taels of silver. Naturally, I didn't comply, but I dropped the cup and left, so scared that the surrounding people ran away. I see, they are here to make trouble. ”

Liang Fu wiped his mouth and said, "Regardless of him, send more people." If it's really excessive, arrest and go to the official. We open our doors to do business, and we make money in harmony. Chongming Street bacon is fragrant, rich and prosperous, cars and horses come and go, some nobles, busy visiting relatives and friends, visiting the New Year. "At the gate of Xu's house, there are even more people coming and going, so it's not lively.

In the spring of this year, the chief examiner is Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi was fair in the main exam, but he was more or less familiar with his face, leaving a good impression. Some talented and well-known scholars in the capital took this opportunity to come to the door to congratulate the New Year.

Because of Yang Fan's departure, Wang Su'er was taken to Xu's mansion by Xu Rong and made a companion with her. Wang Su'er sat in the room, looking at the book that Su Qing left for her, as Su Qing said, she was indeed very talented. Mai physiognomy is all about talent and feeling. If Wang Su'er set up a stall under the overpass, it is estimated that those blind people who cheat on food and drink will not have to do business.

She stroked the green silk, and a few strands of hair fell on her hand. Her face was a little haggard, and she had been combing her hair recently, and she was always losing a lot of hair, which scared her a little too much. Xu Rong came into the house and muttered, "These nerds, blocked at the door of the house, are really like a bunch of bed bugs." ”

"Is there something wrong with Sister Rong'er?"

Xu Rong shook Su'er's hand and said with a smile: "Originally, I was looking for you to go out to Jiafu Temple." That your brother Yang didn't go to sea, burn the pillar peace incense for him over there. ”

"Hehe, when did Sister Rong'er care so much about Brother Yang?" A hint of cunning flashed in Wang Xu'er's eyes, and she hid the book in front of her mouth and snickered. Xu Rong blushed and said, "Is this a concern?" If something happens to him, what should you do? Still not thinking about you? Xu Rong deliberately explained.

"What's wrong? Su'er, why are you depressed? Is it that the food in Xufu is unappetizing? Xu Rong suddenly saw a hint of ugliness on Su'er's face, so she asked.

"Sister Rong'er, since the death of my father, you and Brother Yang are my closest people, but I still have to go back to Bashu after all. I'm wondering, if Su'er really returns to Bashu in the future, is it possible to see you again......"

"Silly girl, how could it be. Even if you go back to Bashu, even if you don't come to see me, I'll come back to see you. By the way, is there any news from the letter sent back to Bashu a few days ago? ”

Wang Su'er shook her head, "Brother Yang didn't say anything, I guess there is no news." Xu Rong pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you are writing a letter, listen to my father, there is a general who wants to meet Bashu, I will beg my father and ask him to bring it to you, how about it?" ”

Wang Su'er raised her eyebrows and said happily: "Okay, I'll write it." ”

"Okay, I'll go first." Xu Rong smiled and got up to leave. Wang Su'er got up to see him off, and when she turned around, a drop of blood flowed from her nose and stained her clothes......
