Chen Xin knocked twice on Liu Minyou's door, and then pushed the door in, Liu Minyou was discussing the matter of Qian Zhuang with Zhou Laifu, Chen Xin sat down and took a look, and the book in front of the two was densely written.

"How's the talk?"

Liu Min rubbed his hand on his face and said: "We don't understand Qianzhuang, the shopkeeper over there asked us how to check the anti-counterfeiting, secret language, and account books, and we couldn't say anything, but fortunately, Xu Xinsu was there, and he said to send someone over to help plan." ”

Zhou Laifu also said: "There are too many details of Qianzhuang, and we don't understand, but the southern goods have been negotiated, and they will transport them to the canal for delivery, and those who go to Wendeng will take the sea route and the goods in several of our ports." ”

Chen Xin asked, "What about their purchases in the north?" ”

"This year, half of the cotton huā will be handed over to us for purchase, and Mr. Liu hopes to buy it in Linqing, and then they will transport it away."

Liu Minyou added: "If Linqing has Zhou Hongmo's care, it will be easier to do things, and if we transport it to the south, we will have to go to the customs along the way." ”

"What did Shopkeeper Tang say?"

"That shopkeeper Tang first asked us to transport it through Hushu Pass."

Chen Xin meditated for a while, Jiangnan has a great demand for cotton huā, every year from Shandong to purchase a large amount of cotton huā back to Suzhou and Hangzhou Lake and other places, after processing and then sell back to the north, Linqing has banknote customs, if you want to transport to Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places, to the south there are Huai'an, Yangzhou, Hushu Hangzhou four banknote customs, Hushu Guan has arrived in Suzhou, I don't have that kind of relationship network to dot for a while.

Chen Xin nodded and said: "We will transport the goods to Yangzhou at most, and the goods to Jiangnan will be transported by them this year. ”

Liu Minyou asked Zhou Laifu to withdraw, and then said: "Xu Xinsu is good to us, but he wants to send someone to our money village, I'm afraid this matter is not very good, in this way, he knows all our anti-counterfeiting things, and the Tang shopkeeper also proposed that we go to the south to exchange the tickets and account books, and ask them to sign it." ”

Chen Xinman smiled nonchalantly: "At the beginning of the cooperation, they naturally have to be careful, the ticket is just a piece of paper, and if you take it, you will have to exchange it for silver, in this case, you can also put forward their tickets and account books to be signed by Zhou Laifu, and let them help set up the money bank, and then we will add some of our own things to it when we are familiar with it." ”

The two talked about the ticket is the silver bill of remote access, also known as the flying ticket, in the Ming Dynasty there have been a lot of money to carry out this business, is the Ming Dynasty after the prosperity of commerce, in order to facilitate the exchange of large sums of money, some of the background and strong financial resources of the money can be exchanged, but this kind of ticket is not in any place can be taken, must be deposited when the silver is explained where to take it, and then the local money bank issued a ticket, and at the same time made an account book, which clearly wrote the ticket number, amount, secret language, It is a primitive financial product that can be collected by the person who holds the ticket through its own channels, and the money bank charges some fees in it.

Liu Minyou took out a piece of paper, showed it to Chen Xin, and said: "The money village you ordered, one is in Tianjin, the other is in Yangzhou, I think Yangzhou is more suitable in Linqing, if they come to Qingqing to transport goods, you can directly settle through Guò Qianzhuang." ”

Although Yangzhou is Jiangbei, but on the edge of the Yangtze River, it is very far away from Linqing and Tianjin, Yangzhou Chen Xin has no way here, the difficulty of operation may be relatively large, and the payment will be less.

After this matter was agreed, Liu Minyou leaned back in the chair and sighed long, Chen Xin looked at him carefully, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help laughing: "Still thinking about killing?" ”

Liu Minyou looked at the roof fixedly and said: "Song Wenxian hasn't slept well in the past two days, he came to call me to play chess early this morning, how can I have the time to accompany him, I am busy with these commercial things." ”

"Those are killers, we should kill them, you have also been to the battlefield, I thought you were used to it."

Liu Minyou shook his head gently: "Killing people with your own hands and watching the dead are two different things after all. ”

Chen Xin smiled, "I'll get used to it in two days, and as soon as the matter of this business is finished, we have to rush back, first go to Yangzhou to buy a shop, and then go to Linqing to find Zhou Hongmo." ”

Liu Minyou glanced at him, "Those remaining killers have been found?" ”

"I found it, I have been killed by Zuo Changhao, and the leader of the team is Zheng Zhixiong, one of the eighteen Zhizhi, who is now showing Xu Xinsu the head, and they and Zheng Yiguan are already endless."

Liu Minyou heard that there was a wave of nausea in the human head, he had seen baskets of Jiannu heads in the Temple of Literature in Luanzhou, and the stiff face with rolling eyes often appeared in his nightmares. He hurriedly drove those influences away from his mind, and changed the subject: "You don't go to Qinhuai River**?" ”

Chen Xin patted his head with a smile and said: "Then the Qinhuai River is full of gray memories, I still forget it, let's see if Yangzhou and Linqing still have a chance." ”

When Chen Xin walked into Xu Xinsu's study, the pirate leader was talking to Zuo Changhao, and Zheng Zhixiong's head was on the desk.

Xu Xinsu said to Chen Xin with a smile on his face: "Brother Chen is worthy of the famous general, not only is he invincible on the battlefield, but even these tricks are so clear, as soon as he makes a move, he found out the hiding place of the gang of thieves, and Zheng Zhixiong was also captured alive by your family." ”

Chen Xin hurriedly said modestly: "Brother is just lucky, just happened to find that fine work." ”

Xu Xinsu shook his head and said: "Brother Chen doesn't know this Zheng Zhixiong, he is Zheng Yiguan's henchman, the most ruthless, before Zheng Yiguan returned to obedience, many people in Yan Siqi's original people objected, at that time Li Kuiqi was still Zheng Yiguan's subordinate, it was this Zheng Zhixiong who assisted Li Kuiqi and killed Yan Siqi's brother Chen Xinji in Penghu, and Chen Xinji's henchmen were also killed by them, and assassinated me several times in Fuzhou, and this Zheng Zhixiong secretly commanded. ”

Chen Xin was surprised and said, "Then we have no intention of catching a big fish." ”

Xu Xinsu laughed, lifted the head of the person on the table and looked at it, and then said: "It's true, most of the other people in the Eighteen Zhi are good at naval battles and fighting, but this Zheng Zhixiong knows these ghost tricks, but he didn't think that he met the world-famous Wendeng Camp General Chen, how can he please him." ”

Chen Xin secretly shouted in his heart that if Zheng Zhixiong was indeed proficient in assassination, he would evacuate immediately after failing and wait for the next opportunity, perhaps Zheng Yiguan forced these people too tightly so that he could only continue to act, thus exposing his whereabouts. Thinking of this, he said to Xu Xinsu: "Brother Xu should be more careful when he returns to Fuzhou, Zheng Yiguan is not an idle person, and I am afraid that there will be more powerful next time." ”

"Thank you Brother Chen for reminding me, but in Fuzhou, my eyeliner is far more than his." Xu Xinsu killed Zheng Yiguan's arm, he was in a good mood, he threw the head to the ground Xu Xinsu said to Chen Xin: "Brother Lai Chen is brave, this time Zheng Yiguan's two nests in Nanjing have been dug up, the shop that Zheng Zhixiong confessed is their eyeliner in Nanjing, in Brother Chen's opinion, whether to keep them, next time if they still have someone to come, you can find their hiding place here." ”

Chen Xin shook his head and said: "If they receive the news, they will probably change places immediately, this time Zheng Zhixiong's army was annihilated, with their caution, they will definitely suspect that someone may explain them." Therefore, the younger brother thinks that it is better to catch them all, and as soon as the skilled hands here are dead, Zheng Yiguan will send someone over, and he will be familiar with the terrain to rearrange the points, and make friends with the green skin wanderers here, and he needs to start again. ”

Xu Xinsu stroked his palms and smiled: "Brother Chen still understands Zuo Changhao, and he must catch them all, so that when Zheng Yiguan sends someone to verify it clearly, and then report to him, it will take at least a few months, and then send someone to set up here, at least in a year or two, he Zheng Yiguan will be blind in Nanjing." ”

Zuo Changhao immediately bowed down and agreed, Xu Xinsu arranged the things here, and said to Chen Xin: "Brother Wei will return to Fujian in two days, and the things over there cannot be delayed. ”

Chen Xin thanked him, and he was also very satisfied with this arrangement, after all, Zuo Changhao already had a relationship, which was much easier to talk about than the Tang shopkeeper, and he was also in contact with Xu Xinsu again after the 80s Shaolin abbot, but Zheng Yiguan let Xu Xinsu encounter danger at any time, which Chen Xin couldn't bear.

At that moment, Chen Xin took advantage of Xu Xinsu's presence to set up the southern goods transaction, the biggest items were tea, sugar, spices and copper, Xu Xinsu also agreed that he was responsible for the transportation of the canal for the time being, and explained to Zuo Changhao one by one.

Chen Xin also set a contact person, and he was going to let Zhou Laifu be stationed in Yangzhou, which was only a few days away from Nanjing, and it was very convenient to contact Zuo Changhao.

That night, Zuo Changhao led people to kill all the people in Zheng Yiguan's shop, and also cut off the head, Xu Xinsu will take it back to Fujian, and when Zheng Yiguan realizes that something is wrong, he will throw it at the door of his official office.

On the second day, Xu Xinsu drank with Chen Xin and others in the mansion all night, and even Liu Minyou was very drunk. Two days later, Xu Xinsu set off to return to Fujian, he went to Longjiang Pass to take a boat along the Yangtze River to the sea, you can sit in a boat to the city of Fuzhou on the edge of the Jianjiang River, saving the pain of carriages and horses, and it is also a very safe route, all the way along the coast to the south, in this era, even if Zheng Yiguan knows Xu Xinsu's ship, it is basically impossible to intercept it in the vast sea.

Chen Xin and the others were sent all the way to the Xiaxinhe wharf, which is the closest wharf to the Yangtze River, and the banks are lined up with dense merchant ships.

Xu Xinsu's boat quickly became a small spot on the river, and Liu Minyou suddenly said to Chen Xin: "I actually admire you, Xu Xinsu is afraid that he is also forty or fifty years old, and he is in danger at any time, and he can still be so calm, if I know that someone is thinking about assassinating me all day long, I am afraid that I will not even be able to sleep." ”

Chen Xin smiled: "He is used to this kind of life, if you let him be safe, I am afraid he will not be able to sleep." Now that he's gone, let's go back tomorrow and go to Yangzhou first. (To be continued.)
