Chen Ying'er was very sad, she was full of sadness and couldn't speak.

Where is she worse than the Jiangdu County Lord? The difference is not identity, she knows that Xiao Fan is not a person who values the identity of his wife, at the beginning, he fought against the Chen family, almost lived on the street without food and clothing, and also had to take care of the life of a little beggar, at that time he didn't know that this little beggar was the identity of the county lord, but he still left the Chen family without looking back.

Identity is a fart in his eyes!

Chen Ying'er has asked herself countless times, where is the difference between her and the county lord of Jiangdu? Why did the latecomer of Jiangdu County come to the top and won Xiao Fan's favor, but she herself still guarded the dark and skyless words, and sighed to herself alone?

After thinking about it for many days, Chen Yinger finally figured it out.

She is almost in a normal heart, she has too much resentment towards Xiao Fan in her heart, too much self-restraint, in front of feelings, she is a complete weakling, not as direct and fanatical as the Jiangdu County Lord to express her love, she can only try to pretend to be a strong person to maintain the dignity of being tormented by the night in her heart.

She's so bad...... Now, she wanted to change herself, and she suddenly recalled what she had said to the county lord of Jiangdu, "Is face so important compared to the happiness of your life?" ”

Jiang Du listened to her words and did it without hesitation, she temporarily put down the face of her daughter's family, and she reaped happiness.

Chen Yinger also decided to do what she said. - I hope it's not too late, and I hope that there will still be an inch of space in the heart of this negative heart, which can accommodate her, the former fiancée.

The hatred of the past is already a thing of the past, and in the face of Xiao Fan, she found that she couldn't hate it.

This is the sorrow of a woman, and perhaps it is also the fate of a woman...... Youyou sighed, Chen Ying'er straightened her back, she decided, to be a strong woman, to be a woman that Xiao Fan can't live without, whether public or private, so that Xiao Fan feels that she is indispensable, only in this way can she really enter Xiao Fan's heart.

"Okay, after the private matter, Lord Xiao, let's talk about business now." Chen Ying'er's resentful look instantly turned into a shrewd and capable strong woman.

Xiao Fan's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to look at her: "............"

What exactly is a woman made of? said that he would change his face, and just now he accused him of losing his virginity, but now he immediately talked about business calmly...... Such a jumping rhythm made Xiao Fan very uncomfortable...... Seeing Xiao Fan's stunned appearance, Chen Ying'er couldn't help but laugh a few times, still with a pretty face, and said: "What does Lord Xiao mean, do you want my Chen family firm to gradually grasp the grain procurement in Beiping Mansion?" ”

"Huh? Ah...... "Xiao Fan is in a fugue...... Chen Ying'er gently tapped the bookcase in front of him impatiently, and said with a straight face: "My lord, the folk girl is talking to you about business now, please concentrate on it, okay?" ”

"Ahh Good, good! …… Yes, what you have to do now is to gradually shift the business focus of the Chen family business to the north, and it is best to take root in Beiping Mansion, establish a good relationship with the local government, the squire, and even the people of Yanwangfu, and lay a foundation for connections......"

"And then?"

Then he sent his powerful and trusted people to approach the king of Yan and negotiate with him about selling grain, Beiping was short of grain, and ...... And in the past two years, King Yan has a plan, he will inevitably hoard a lot of grain, and he must have a welcome attitude towards merchants selling grain to him, you can easily take this deal, and gradually monopolize the food supply of Beiping Mansion, but the difficult thing is at the beginning, it is not easy to gain the trust of King Yan, it depends on you to find a way, Jinyiwei can not come forward in this matter, he can only assist secretly, otherwise it will make King Yan suspicious. ”

The corners of Chen Ying'er's mouth hooked, and said, "Monopolize the food supply of Beiping Mansion? Adults have such a big appetite, how can I eat these dozens of boats with my Chen family's rice line? ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "So I said, your scale should be expanded, buy ships and ships, hire people, drive horses, and take land routes without waterways, if the Chen family has capital, you might as well invest it all, cooperate with the government, the risk can be minimized, you don't have to worry about losing money, there are Jinyi guards to support your Chen family, the government does not dare to embarrass you, nor dare to exploit you, everything is smooth, but when you get to the north, everything depends on yourself." ”

Chen Ying'er nodded: "How long will it take for a folk girl to do these things?" ”

"You only have half a year to establish a relationship with the Yanwang Mansion and the government in Beiping, open up the joints of the officials at all levels in the south of Beiping Mansion, and then spend half a year selling grain to the Yanwang, and use practical actions to gain the trust of the Yanwang and form a good reputation."

"What do you want to achieve?"

The corners of Xiao Fan's mouth hooked up a sneer: "When I decide to cut off the grain route, the soldiers under the command of King Yan must be hungry, and the court will not consume casualties, and the bottom of the kettle will draw salary, this is the effect I want to achieve." ”

Chen Ying'er looked at Xiao Fan, who was full of confidence, invisibly exuding a majestic momentum, and the power was in his hands, like a god who decided the life and death of thousands of living beings, Chen Ying'er was drunk and muttered: "Xiao Fan, you ...... It's more mature than before. ”

Xiao Fan's sneer suddenly turned into embarrassment: "This ...... Is it truth or drama? ”

Chen Ying'er sneered, glanced at him slightly, and said, "You just think it's a scene of a folk girl, and forget about it after hearing it." ”

Xiao Fan was very obedient, and immediately forgot about it, and continued: "...... King Yan knows where I come from and I know my relationship with the Chen family, so when you send someone to the north, you can't call the name of the Chen family's firm, it's best to hang the name on the people below, the farther the relationship, the better, so as not to suspect King Yan......"

"Are you happy with the county lord of Jiangdu?" Chen Ying'er interrupted Xiao Fan's words faintly.

Xiao Fan blurted out: "I'm so happy, I just broke it yesterday...... The Jinyi Guard will send a master to protect the safety of your subordinates, so you don't have to worry about the safety of your subordinates......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Fan immediately stopped, stared at Chen Ying'er with black lines, and said in a deep voice: "Are you talking about business or private affairs now?" ”

Chen Ying'er sneered, covered her small mouth and said, "You are more interesting than before......

Xiao Fan blackened his face and didn't speak: "............"

He now seriously suspected that this woman had come to tease him on purpose.

"If the people stop supplying grain to Beiping, won't the officials and grain merchants in Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi continue to supply grain to Beiping? In this case, what is the use of the folk girls doing this? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Fan opened his mouth wide again, looking dumbfounded.

Chen Ying'er knocked on the bookcase and said with a pretty face: "Can adults concentrate?" Now I'm talking about business. ”

Xiao Fan felt that his brain was a little congested...... "I...... It will control the government and grain merchants in the three places! Xiao Fan said word by word with a dark face.

Chen Ying'er nodded and said lightly: "In this way, the folk girl is relieved, she can let go and do it......"

After spending a whole morning, Xiao Fan finally finished talking about business, and Chen Yinger also got up to say goodbye.

Xiao Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, talking to a woman about business, it was a kind of torture.

Looking at Chen Ying'er, who was in a beautiful shape, walking out of the door, Xiao Fan blinked, and his mischievous thoughts suddenly came to mind.

"Miss Chen......" Xiao Fan stopped her.

Chen Ying'er turned her head and raised her thin willow eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Fan sat calmly behind the bookcase, and said seriously: "...... The eyebrows are sparse but not condensed, the legs are separated, the gaze is impure, and the face is full of spring...... It is used to judge virgins, and it has nothing to do with virgins, so don't make common sense mistakes in the future. ”

Chen Ying'er pursed her lips and said, "That...... How can you tell if a virgin is different? ”

"It's easy to tell, a virgin has a membrane ......," Xiao Fan said seriously.

Chen Ying'er's eyes widened in disbelief: "Men have ...... too Membrane? ”

"There's a membrane!" Xiao Fan nodded authoritatively like an expert.

"That'...... Do you still have membranes? ”

Xiao Fan suddenly became melancholy: "It's gone...... Not yesterday. ”

Chen Ying'er thought for a long time with doubts on her face, and finally turned her face blank and said with a little anger: "Lord Xiao, who do you think of me?" Do you have a membrane or not, what's the matter with me! Do you think I'm the kind of casual flirtatious woman? Bah! Lecher! ”

After speaking, Chen Ying'er flicked her sleeves fiercely and left in a hurry.

Xiao Fanleng stared at the empty door for a long time, and muttered innocently: "...... I'm not giving you a literacy, you told me that you were generous when you were a virgin, why did I become a disciple when I talked about this? What an unreasonable crazy woman! ”

Chen Ying'er angrily walked out of the gate of Jinyi Wei Zhenfusi, she sat in the sedan chair with a frosty face and a red face, the sedan curtain decorated with pearls and jade was lowered, and the sedan chair man carried the sedan forward.

In the trembling sedan chair, Chen Ying'er's face suddenly changed with anger, and then she laughed out loud, her face flushed with a faint flush, and her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip and muttered, "Man...... There's that layer too? Is this guy lying to me? ”

The slender hand knocked on the inner wall of the sedan chair, and Chen Ying'er said coldly: "Stop the sedan chair." ”

The sedan chair stopped on the side of the road, and Wang Gui, the steward of Taifeng Rice Bank, stepped forward and asked respectfully through the sedan curtain, "Does the shopkeeper have any orders?" ”

Chen Ying'er said coldly: "Wang Gui, you will send 1,000 stones of rice to Beiping Mansion tomorrow, and you will follow the grain team yourself, I want you to do a big thing." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper. I don't know which firm this thousand stone rice sold to in Beiping Prefecture? ”

Chen Ying'er's cold tone was a little mysterious, and she said, "This thousand-stone rice is not for sale!" When you arrive in Beiping Mansion, give it to King Yan......"

Wang Gui was suddenly stunned and said, "Shopkeeper, this is a thousand stones of rice!" Free giveaway? ”

"Free of charge!" Chen Ying'er's tone was extremely firm.

Wang Gui heard Chen Ying'er's resoluteness through the sedan curtain, and didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

"Don't use the name of the Chen family's firm, you have caught the Daoyan monk in Mihang, he may know you, you arrange a face-to-face person to send grain, after sending the grain, you will open a new business in Beiping, remember, that business has nothing to do with my Chen family firm, do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Gui's heart jumped, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said, "Understood, shopkeeper." ”

Chen Ying'er hesitated in the sedan chair, and asked coldly with a little shame: "There is one more thing, you Wang Gui Chinese New Year's Eve today, right?" Not married yet? ”

Wang Gui bowed and said, "Yes." ”

"Uh...... Is your membrane still there? ”

Wang Gui was stunned: "What membrane?" I don't have a membrane......"

There was silence in the sedan chair for a while, and suddenly Chen Ying'er's angry voice came out: "Shameless!" Indiscretion! Where did the membrane go? Get lost! Get out of here! Cheap man! - Get up the car! ”

The sedan chair trembled and continued to move forward, Wang Gui opened his mouth stupidly, standing in the middle of the road, wanting to cry without tears...... June 18, 30th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was ordered to lead dozens of thousands of households in Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, with more than 80,000 officers and soldiers, and quickly marched north to relieve the siege of Beiping.

The 100,000 Yan soldiers trapped in Beiping City under the leadership of Zhang Yu, the commander of the left guard of the Yan Wangfu, reversed the negative defensive position, and the Yan King Zhu Di should be combined with the outside, the north and the south attacked, and defeated the Northern Yuan Qier Jisi Department, this battle, the Qier Jisi Department was killed more than 10,000 people, and the rest were all defeated to Taining in the north, and the leader of the tribe was naked with several arrows, the injury was not light, and he was rescued by his subordinates, escaped into the grassland desert, and retreated without a trace.

The danger of the Beiping army was completely solved in the first day when Zhu Di's army arrived in Beiping City.

As Zhu Di expected, this battle was a big victory.

When the army arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and ordered to reward the three armies.

Half a month later, Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, rushed to Beiping, gathered 80,000 officers and soldiers from Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi to rescue Beiping, led the officers and soldiers to withdraw from Beiping Mansion, and placed these 80,000 officers and soldiers in Zhangde, Henan, Weinan, Shandong, and Taiyuan, Shanxi, and built more than 20 thousand households at the junction of the three places and Beiping Mansion in turn, and thoroughly carried out Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, did not say a word about this situation, did not say anything, and still trained and led the troops as usual, as if he did not understand the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's warning to him, and there was nothing abnormal in his words and deeds.

And the court of the Beijing division is also calm, Qingliu and the "annihilation party" headed by Xiao Fan, as well as those wall grass, as well as the meritorious lords, all of them remain calm and waveless, or due to political disagreements, Qingliu and the annihilation party seem to have made an appointment, and they invariably take a compromise and retreat.

The court was terrifyingly calm, as if an earth-shattering storm was brewing, and a gloomy and suffocating atmosphere permeated the amiable ministers.

The ministers no longer cared about fighting with each other, and their eyes were fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body is not as good as day by day, and every dynasty that he has insisted on for decades has gradually changed to three dynasties, and finally five dynasties, and more often he hands over important national and civil affairs to Zhu Yunwen to take care of.

Xiao Fan seized this rare respite and began to make a dense layout.

The number of Jinyiwei has gradually expanded, and the intelligence network has been extended to Beiping, Duoyan and Taining, and the Jingshi court, due to the convenience of his position, or with the acquiescence of Zhu Yuanzhang, the secret agents of Jinyiwei have also lurked into the mansions of the ministers above the fourth rank of the Beijing Division.

In the calm, the dark tide is surging, like a cold and cruel monster, sharpening its fangs, and choosing people to love at any time.

August of the thirtieth year of Hongwu.

Outside the gate of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping.

A man dressed in gray coarse cloth, carrying a cloth bag, and leggings under his feet, dressed as a merchant stood outside the Yanwang Mansion, handed a name card to the Yanwang guards guarding the door with a smile, and secretly stuffed a heavy ingot of silver into the guard's hands by the way.

The man spoke in a thick Shanxi accent, and said flatteringly and courteously: "Please ask this eldest brother to inform His Royal Highness King Yan, Wang Gui, a grain merchant in Fenzhou, Shanxi, asked to see him, and the grass people sent a thin gift to King Yan, please ask His Royal Highness King Yan to accept it with a smile." ”

As he spoke, the man took out a gift slip from the cloth bag he was carrying, and handed it over with a smile.

The guard squinted and glanced at the man, and saw that he was dressed rusticly, with his back bent, his hands tightly holding the cloth bag, his dark face was like an old peasant, and a shrewd and philistine light flashed in his small eyes from time to time, which was the standard dress of a Shanxi businessman.

Flipping the silver in his hand, the guard snorted angrily: "Wait! ”

Wang Gui hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, you are tired, you are tired......"

Not long after, there was a word in the palace, and His Royal Highness King Yan personally received him in the front hall of the palace.

Under the leadership of the guards, Wang Gui cautiously walked into the palace, hanging his head all the way, not daring to look at it at all.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sat in the front hall, his face was calm, not angry but mighty, and his eyes swept over the gift list in his hand from time to time, as if he was a little careless.

Entering the front hall, Wang Gui saw a bearded man sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall, wearing a dark yellow royal robe, as majestic as a tiger on the mountain.

Wang Gui was full of excitement, hurriedly knelt down towards Zhu Di from afar, and said loudly: "Wang Gui of Fenzhou, meet His Royal Highness King Yan, the grass people have kowtowed to His Highness!" ”

Zhu Di saw that this man didn't know how to count, but he didn't blame him, but he smiled faintly, looked at him, and slowly said, "You are from Fenzhou, Shanxi?" Named Wang Gui? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the grass people are indeed from Fenzhou, and they are local grain merchants in Fenzhou. Today, I can see His Royal Highness King Yan, who is famous all over the world, is really a blessing from the cultivation of the grass people, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old! ”

Zhu Di smiled deeply: "Hehe, when you see this king, the capital is not small, well, 1,000 stone rice, 3,000 taels of silver, 800 horses of good Hangsi...... With such a heavy courtesy, this king is embarrassed not to see you, hehe......"

Wang Gui bowed to the ground and said: "Your Royal Highness fought against the Tartars, defeated the Northern Yuan, and raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world are grateful to the five inside, and sincerely admire the majesty of His Highness. ”

Zhu Di's smile became more and more comfortable, stroked his beard and laughed, and said: "There is no reason to give gifts for nothing in this world, this king is busy with official business, you still say it directly, what do you want?" ”

Wang Gui suddenly admired his five bodies, raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness's eyes are like a torch, and the grass people's trick can't be lifted on the table in front of His Highness, and the grass people still say it bluntly, the grass people are Shanxi grain merchants, and this time I want to see His Highness, I want to make a deal with His Highness for a long time......"

"What kind of deal?"

Wang Gui raised his head, and his smile became more and more attentive: "The grass people are grain merchants, and of course they buy and sell grain and grass......

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged: "This king is not short of grain and grass. ”

Wang Gui smiled like a blessing from heaven: "The price of grain and grass for the grass people is two percent lower than the market price in Henan, Shandong and other places......"

Zhu Di's eyes gradually became serious: "Twenty percent lower? ”

"Yes, two percent."

"How much grain and grass do you have to sell to this king?"

"How much Your Highness wants, how many grass people."
