Li Yuanqing met Fan Yongdou in the small courtyard of the Tianzihao of the Sanfu Inn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Yongdou is in his forties and early fifties, his figure is a little thin, and his eyes are bright, which is quite a bit of a fairy style, which makes it difficult to tell his age.

"Fan Yongdou, a grass citizen, has seen General Li. The grass people have long wanted to come to see General Li, but they have been entangled in mundane things, and being able to see General Li today is enough to comfort the grass people's livelihood and make a big wish. ”

Fan Yongdou stepped forward with a smile and saluted Li Yuanqing, and a slave behind him hurriedly handed over the gift list respectfully.

Li Yuanqing glanced at it, a pair of jade bracelets, ten pearls, and some treasures with other names and a thousand taels of silver, adding up, at least two thousand taels of silver.

Li Yuanqing smiled, smiled and handed the gift list to Niu Gensheng behind him, "Shopkeeper Fan, please take a seat." Yuan Qing is also the name of the shopkeeper who has admired Fan for a long time. I can see it today, and it is also the result of marriage. ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

Although Li Yuanqing and Fan Yongdou had never met before, they had already been in contact.

At the earliest, when he was in Guangning City, when Li Yuanqing went to Shenyang City through Qu Minqiu's caravan, he took the path of the Fan family's caravan.

Later, because of Qu Mingrui's relationship, the Fan family also wanted to lean on Li Yuanqing's body, and there were gifts from time to time, and when Li Yuanqing got married, although Fan Yongdou did not come in person, at least no less than 50,000 taels of silver were offered.

The two are really no strangers.

After a few words of greeting, the soldiers served tea, and Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fan is a busy man, how can you come to Yuanqing here when you have free time today?" ”

Fan Yongdou hurriedly smiled: "Don't hide it from General Li, these days, it has been more difficult to buy and sell~ . Fan stayed in Beijing for some time, trying to find some new ways. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded.

At this time, Liaodi, because of the appearance of Li Yuanqing, was completely different from history.

Since the fall of Quang Ninh, the situation in Liaodi has changed greatly.

Even if the Fan family has close contacts with Houjin, if they want to take the original route, it will definitely not work.

Although the Fan family still has many other ways, but outside the entrance, the road is long, the wind and sand are big, not to mention that the cost will increase a lot, it is very likely that just the accident of the weather will make it lose all its money.

A business like the Fan family, to put it bluntly, is the forerunner of smuggling.

Whatever is lacking outside their mouths, they sell it there.

To a certain extent, this is indeed a huge profit, which can be adjusted at any time according to market conditions to maintain its invincible position.

But to put it bluntly, no matter how good Fan Yongdou is, he is just a businessman.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty's position in Liaodi became more and more stable, Liaoxi had formed a scale, there was Li Yuanqing in Liaonan, Houjin gave up directly, and it became a no-man's land, and the only place that could be tossed was only Liaodong.

This time, the best route on the first line of Shanhaiguan was blocked, and the route of foreign businessmen like the Fan family could only take the Xuan and Da lines.

But those Mongolian tribes are not vegetarians.

Under the oppression of Houjin and the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, these disciples and grandchildren of Lin Dan Khan can be said to be how poor and how poor.

The Fan family will never earn much oil and water on them, and if they want to earn oil and water, the best trade object is Houjin.

But Houjin was defeated by Li Yuanqing several times in southern Liaoning, and he also ran into a bloody head in the north, and in the past few years, except for the battle of Guangning City, they gained a lot, and the rest of the time, they did not take advantage of it at all.

Coupled with the extremely anti-Han policy of the old slaves, the overall economic situation of Houjin was also a depression.

If the Fan family's business can still be as smooth as in history, and they can just get some iron tools and silver and send them to Houjin, and then exchange them for a large amount of silver, how can this still be possible?

Looking at Li Yuanqing's faint smile in front of him, Fan Yongdou's heart also had some indescribable feelings for a while.

At this time, it is much more difficult to do business than in the first few years, although he has a very close relationship network in Houjin, but in the past few years, both the scale of the transaction and the profit have shrunk greatly.

Fan Yongdou knew very well that the key to everything, a large part, had to be counted on the young and heroic Ming heavy general in front of him.

It is precisely because of Li Yuanqing's deterrent power like a Dinghai god needle, the third line of Liaodi, and the orderliness, that it is difficult for speculators like the Fan family to have much room to play.

To some extent, Fan Yongdou also had crazy thoughts, if he could pull Li Yuanqing into the water, then ......

But Fan Yongdou understands that this is simply unrealistic.

With Li Yuanqing's status at this time, unless he was defeated on the battlefield and his foundation was lost, it would be difficult for even the emperor and the court to make too much action against Li Yuanqing.

It's done!

Fan Yongdou has already proved his ability to get to this day, and in this state of affairs, if he is not on good terms with Li Yuanqing, it is simply an old birthday star hanging----- he thinks he has a long life.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and a big price, but he also had to maintain close contact with Li Yuanqing.

"Huh. Shopkeeper Fan is an understanding person. As the saying goes, when a tree dies, a man lives. To do business, we should take a long-term view, not just dwell on one time and one place. As wide as the heart is, so is the heavens and the earth? ”

Li Yuanqing looked at Fan Yongdou's eyes with a smile.

Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "General Li, you are really a dragon and phoenix among people!" Listening to your words, Fan Mousheng has been reading for ten years! ”

When the two of them met each other, they both laughed.

With the shrewdness of the two of them, there is no need to say many things too bluntly, and with a little bit of meaning, both of them already know it.

After laughing for a while, Fan Yongdou took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "General Li, I heard that you have transported a batch of goods from Liaodi and want to make a move?" ”

"Huh. Is Shopkeeper Fan very proficient in news? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "There is such a thing. Shopkeeper Fan, you are a big expert, if you have time, can you help Yuanqing grow his eyes? ”

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be overjoyed, "General Li looks up to Fan, how can Fan not know how to lift?" He tried his best to serve General Lee. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly smiled and said, "General Li, you see, it's not too early. Why don't we find a private room and talk while eating? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "That's fine." ”

…………

Fan Yongdou had already come prepared, and had already booked the most luxurious private room in the Fog and Rain Pavilion, and the two of them simply cleaned up and came directly to the Fog and Rain Pavilion.

In the land of China, it can be said that more than 90 percent of the business is negotiated at the wine table.

In fact, as early as Li Yuanqing's batch of goods arrived at Dagukou and began to go ashore, Fan Yongdou got the news.

The main reason is that Liaodi is blocked, and all kinds of rare materials in the Northeast, and then imagine that they are transported smoothly to the customs as before, which is no longer realistic, such as ginseng, mink, deer antler velvet and other goods, the price is soaring.

And Li Yuanqing's big gesture this time is like a piece of fat, and a scheming and insightful person like Fan Yongdou has been eyeing him for a long time.

When they arrived at the Fog and Rain Pavilion, the two sat down, the pretty maid served wine and food, the musician began to play, Fan Yongdou greeted with a smile: "Go, invite the glass girl over." Today there are distinguished guests. ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fan, they are all from his own family, how can he bother you to spend so much?" ”

Liuli girl is the new head card launched by Wuyu Pavilion after Wan'er, she is only fifteen years old this year, but she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine, especially good at blowing the flute, in just a few months, she has already become famous in Beijing, and her reputation is far and wide.

Li Yuanqing had heard of Li Liuli's name a long time ago, but he had only been in Beijing for less than two days, and he didn't have time to see him for a while.

Unexpectedly, Fan Yongdou helped him facilitate this scene.

Fan Yongdou hurriedly smiled and said, "Li Gongzi, you are a distinguished guest that Fan can't invite." Today, the glass girl is free, let's just have a glimpse of the glass girl's demeanor. ”

Li Yuanqing no longer shirked, picked up the wine glass with a smile, and took a sip lightly.

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be even more happy when he saw Li Yuanqing accept his arrangement, and hurriedly said, "Why hasn't Miss Liuli come yet?" ”

The maid next to her hurriedly said, "Miss Liuli is dressing up, and she will come over soon." ”

Even though Fan Yongdou was wealthy, in the place of Wuyu Pavilion, he really didn't dare to be rude, so he had to urge a few words, and drank with Li Yuanqing with a smile.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and a veiled fair girl, accompanied by more than a dozen maids, Shi Shiran walked in, and a burst of intoxicating incense wafted through.

"Slave Li Liuli, I've seen two masters."

She Shi Shiran stepped forward and respectfully saluted Li Yuanqing and Fan Yongdou.

Li Yuanqing was stunned, and actually looked at her.

Although she is veiled, she can already understand it just by looking at her posture and figure.

Li Yuanqing also has to admire Yang Jiao~ Niang's ability, just Li Liuli's appearance at this time can at least score more than 95 points.

Fan Yongdou's eyes were also a little straight, and it took a moment to react, and he hurriedly smiled: "Miss Liuli, please take a seat." Li Gongzi, this is the glass girl. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Miss Liuli, Li is polite." ”

Li Liuli hurriedly gave Shi Ran a salute, "I've seen Li Gongzi." ”

After a period of greetings, Li Liuli went to stroke the qin, Fan Yongdou picked up the wine glass, and saluted Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Li Gongzi, the shopkeeper of the Fog and Rain Pavilion is really talented. Compared with her, Fan's profession is really ...... Ay! People are better than people, it's really infuriating! ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Shopkeeper Fan doesn't have to be arrogant, Shopkeeper Fan's ability, Li still knows." ”

The two drank a few glasses of wine, and Fan Yongdou smiled and asked Li Yuanqing about the total amount and list of goods.

Li Yuanqing didn't ink either, and directly handed the list to Fan Yongdou and asked him to read it for himself.

After a few quick glances, Fan Yongdou's fish bubble eyes flashed, if he could eat all of Li Yuanqing's goods, he would be able to earn at least 300,000 taels of silver.

Next to him, although Li Liuli's piano sound was beautiful, Li Yuanqing's more eyes were focused on Fan Yongdou's body, taking in his expression.

Fan Yongdou finally came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi, I don't know, what arrangements do you have for this shipment?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Shopkeeper Fan, we are not outsiders, there is a good saying, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." If the shopkeeper Fan is interested, Li can set aside an extra part for the shopkeeper Fan. ”

Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be overjoyed, "I don't know how much Gongzi Li can set aside for Fan?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "How many percent does Shopkeeper Fan want?" ”

Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment and carefully made a gesture to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing laughed, "Shopkeeper Fan, Li has always believed in one sentence, hello everyone, it is really good." Since Shopkeeper Fan is sincere, I can agree to this matter now. However, Shopkeeper Fan, you also know that there are still some business involved between Li and the Qu family, and in terms of weight, it may be removed a little. In this way, the shopkeeper Fan came first, then Li gave the shopkeeper Fan fifty percent, and the shopkeeper Fan was satisfied? ”

Fan Yongdou was stunned.

Fifty percent, although it is a little less than he expected, but if he eats it, at least 150,000 taels of silver will be credited to his account.

After all, he can't be compared with the Qu family, Qu Mingrui's sister-in-law, but Li Yuanqing's favorite concubine, gave birth to a son for Li Yuanqing.

But with this good start, next, the next cooperation, will it be far away?

"Li Gongzi is very loving, Fan is grateful!"

Fan Yongdou hurriedly bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing, but he quickly calculated it in his heart.

Their Fan family, outstanding people, countless outstanding talents, whose daughter, can enter the eyes of Li Yuanqing, to please this Ming upstart?
