Dengzhou Water City, when the eagle boat fell anchor, it was already the second watch.

Chu Fan arranged for Ge Bi to find someone to unload and load the truck, and he strongly invited Zuo Liangyu to enter the city to rest, but the other party politely refused - he was ready to rush back to Shanhaiguan overnight.

After repeated persuasion to no avail, Chu Fan had no choice but to say goodbye to Zuo Liangyu, watch the eagle boat sail into the sea again, and then escort the cart full of goods towards the mouth of the bay - Liu Zhongwen naturally went back to his house.

The sound of the car was sparkling, and the sky was full of stars, Chu Fan continued to think about it just now on the deck.

This time Dagu was in danger and reminded him that in this chaotic era, he could not protect himself without a certain strength - even if he had become a disciple of Xu Ge Lao, this brand was not omnipotent, what if he encountered bandits and bandits next time?

So you have to have an army of your own!

Imagine, if you have a guard of more than ten people, then when Liu Zeqing and Sun Zhenwu pounce on you in Dagu, you can completely defend the inn, so that you won't be so embarrassed that you hide in the attic and are almost roasted into bacon.

The sea trade plan has been very smooth so far, the goods have been prepared, and Chu Fan still has more than 2,000 taels of silver in his hand, which is relatively rich, so the matter of the armed guards can be put on the agenda.

Chu Fan planned to pay the guards according to the monthly salary standard of Ning Yuan's soldiers, this is a job that makes people work hard, and it can't be short-this standard is actually not low, and it can completely feed a family.

As for the source, Chu Fan also thought about it, so he recruited from the Liaodong refugees on both sides of the Shahe River - the more poor and helpless the people, the greater the effect of these two or four coins of silver.

Chu Fan believed that in just a few months, he would be able to turn these dozen ordinary people into qualified soldiers, and it was not a so-called "soldier" like a family member of this era, but a real soldier with strict discipline and good work style - PLA's training method, Chu Fan did not doubt its power at all.

Whether it is a cold weapon or a firearm, Chu Fan is ready to equip his guards with the top weapons of this era - if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, and this bit of silver cannot be saved.

A guard team trained with PLA's drill code, supplemented by sophisticated weapons, Chu Fan believes that in this era, it must be the elite of the elite, and he doesn't dare to say that he will not be able to get close to him when he walks sideways!

The more Chu Fan thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and when he looked up, the small door of the ancestral house was already in front of him.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the second hall of the Dengzhou Mansion, Wang Ting tried a loose green thick swallow suit, and sat on the chair a little absent-mindedly.

Sitting opposite him was the dock supervisor who came in a hurry, reporting to him about Chu Fan's unloading.

"You mean, Chu Fan's goods are not raw silk?" After Wang Ting listened to it, he asked expressionlessly, but a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the goldfish that were flipping.

"Lord Qiqi Mansion, I have carefully examined it, and it is indeed not raw silk in the sack, but tobacco." The dockmaster bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

“…… Anyway, I've worked hard for you, so you can go first. Wang Tingqian waved his hand, and didn't look at the dock supervisor who bowed down and walked away.

Frowning, his hand holding the purple sand teapot was bruised, revealing the anger in his heart.

After a long time, he let go of his hand and asked his subordinates to invite Chen Shangren to tell him what the dock supervisor had reported just now.

Chen Shangren beat a drum in his heart, Chu Fan went to Zhangjiawan to buy tobacco in his expectations, with Wang Ting's shrewdness, it is not difficult to find Chu Fan's intention to resist softly, but I don't know how his Dongweng will fall.

"Katsumi, you are confused!" Wang Tingqian unconsciously knocked on the desk and frowned, "How can you let him do anything?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tingtry knocked on the table and accentuated his tone, "Tobacco!" Can that thing sell for silver? Joke! ”

Chen Shangren was a little embarrassed when he was scolded, and he bowed slightly with his eyebrows and explained, "When I learned about his plan, it happened that Dong Weng was going to Jinan, and he wanted to report to the adults but couldn't get it. Who would have thought that he would move so fast, and before Dong Weng came back, he had already arranged to go to Zhangjiawan to buy goods. ”

Wang Ting tried to turn up the pair of goldfish eyes and looked at Chen Shangren and said, "Have you stopped him?" ”

Chen Shangren lowered his head and rolled his eyes-You have forced people into such a desperate situation, and you are not allowed to think of some side ways?

However, he didn't dare to say it directly, so he had to whisper, "Dong Weng, I have dissuaded me more than once, but Chu Fan didn't listen, and Shang Ren couldn't." ”

"Humph!" Wang Ting tried to make a face, "If I knew this, his house should have made a move earlier...... I went to Jinan this time, if my hands were more relaxed, I was afraid that the post of secretary had already been taken down, so why did I have to turn around in this deputy military envoy? ”

Speaking of this, he said hatefully, "This son is so cunning, don't keep his house, deal with it as soon as possible." ”

Chen Shangren sighed secretly - listening to Wang Ting's meaning, he was going to beat Chu Fan by selling the house.

However, what he was more worried about was that Wang Ting tried to be annoyed and ashamed, and had murderous intentions towards Chu Fan, so he said tentatively, "My lord, this son has promised Shangren more than once that with his packaging method, the value of tobacco can be doubled, and it is better to ......" Chu Fan repeatedly emphasized that the matter of tobacco feeding must be kept secret, so Chen Shangren had to talk about the packaging.

"Bang!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Tingtry to slap his palm on the table, and the purple sand teapot jumped up, "Faint!" Tobacco is tobacco, no matter how he packs it, can it still become raw silk? If tobacco can be sold for silver, why do Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants still sell raw silk? ”

Chen Shangren sighed in his heart: Chu Fan, Chu Fan, it's not that I don't help you intercede, it's just that I don't talk about Wang Ting's trial in this matter, but I feel ridiculous when I listen to it, let me intercede.

After stabilizing his mind, Chen Shangren still felt that he would not give up, so he continued to intercede with Chu Fan in another way, "Dong Weng, Chu Fan is indeed confused this time, it is better to let Shang Ren go to relieve him tomorrow, if he is still obsessed, how about disposing of his house?" ”

Wang Ting tried to lean back in his chair, half-closed his eyes and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, he said quietly, "Okay, if you want to go and see, just take a look." ”

After speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked directly at Chen Shangren and said, "Self-denial, although this son has the grace to save your life, but you don't have to make mistakes!" ”

Chen Shangren felt a chill in his heart when he said this, hearing this, Wang Tingtry didn't plan to let Chu Fan go.

Zhi Wu retreated, and Chen Shangren met Wang Ting's criminal master on the way to the account room, which made him determine Fang Cai's idea - the connection between his own Dongweng and the Xiangma in Zhaoyuan Mountain, it was this criminal master who was handling it, and what else could there be if he called the criminal master at this hour?

Chu Fan, Chu Fan, why did you make such a fuss about this?
