Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The only useful thing Zhai Zhe has done in this collection over the years is to make friends, and Zhai Zhe, who is worth befriending, will not miss it. Making friends means spending money, the Zhai family is also the number one wealthy businessman in Shanxi, he can't hold power, but he won't be short of money to spend. Besides, the little money he spent was a drop in the bucket compared with the chief soldiers and governors of the eldest brother's filial piety to Xuanfu.

Zhai Zhe's friends Zhai Tang are not all familiar with them, but he still knows Gong Chen. Zhai Tang himself will not make friends with those border soldiers who have no real power, are vulgar and greedy, but it does not mean that he thinks those people are useless. Now he couldn't figure out whether Gong Chen was favoritism or Ge Feng was really no longer in Wangshun Pavilion, and he didn't want to reprimand him too much.

While he was talking, he heard the noise in the northeast corner of the set again, and someone shouted: "Ge Feng has run away!" ”

Zhai Zhe's heart tightened.

Gong Chen immediately turned on his horse and said, "I was ordered to hunt down the suspect, so I will leave first!" He led the cavalry to the northeast corner of the set, hoping that he would have a chance to escape. The pedestrians in the streets were empty, and the cavalry disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Zhai Tang walked into the door with his hands behind his back, invited Fan Yongdou and Zhai Zhe into his study, and asked before he could sit down, "Where is Ge Feng?" ”

"Gone!"

"You let him go!" There was a bit of anger in Zhai Tang's voice.

Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "I heard that the officers and soldiers were in the set, and I felt bad and asked Xiao Zhiyan to send him away through the back door." ”

Fan Yongdou frowned on the side, then stretched out again, and said, "It's okay to go, in fact, even if Huang Hua arrests him, I have a way to let him go!" "It is the garrison of Zhangjiakou.

Zhai Zhe asked, "Is there any result of the discussion between the merchant guilds?"

There was a slight bow between Zhai Tang's eyebrows, these things were not suitable for Zhai Zhe to ask.

Fan Yongdou replied with a relaxed expression: "There are seven businesses on our side, and the others respect the meaning of the Lu Dong family. ”

The guild is split! Zhai Zhe was not surprised, the two factions that split were not grudges, the most direct reason was that they were more optimistic about Mongolia or the Jin of Liaodong.

"Most people think that no matter whether the war in the steppe is won by the Tumut tribe or the Chahar tribe, the road out of Zhangjiakou is still controlled by the Mongols." Fan Yongdou's tone implied a hint of self-satisfaction, and then said: "But Zhai Dongjia and I both believe that this war has changed the situation in Zhangjiakou, and the hope of the merchant is in the east. ”

The businessman's vision is really shrewd and terrifying, even if there is no memory of future generations, Zhai Zhe will agree with Fan Yongdou's opinion. Chahar is the suzerainty tribe of all Mongolia, and it is also the most powerful tribe in Mongolia, although the Tumuts are rich, but being rich and able to fight are two different things, just like the Ming Dynasty was also defeated against the Jurchens in Liaodong. Regardless of the purpose of Lin Dan Khan's westward migration, the snipe and the mussels competed with each other, and the fishermen profited, the direct result of Chahar's westward migration was that the space of the Duoyan grassland outside the Great Ming Jiliao was opened, and the Jurchens would not miss it, and for so many years this war machine Qì has been seeking expansion in Mongolia.

Ge Feng is on the run, and the matter is over for a while, Fan Yongdou still has a bunch of affairs to deal with, so he said goodbye: "I will leave first, I am really sorry for causing trouble to Wangshun Pavilion, but Zhai Dongjia will not regret cooperating with me." His words are full of confidence and infectiousness.

The two sent him out, Zhai Zhe watched Fan Yongdou's back leave, such a character will not be buried anywhere, when he is low-key, people can't think of him, and when the opportunity arises, he will act without delay.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still busy in the northeast direction of Jizi for a few hours without finding anything, and went back to the fort on their own, and when it became dark, Zhai Zhe did not wait for Xiao Zhiyan to come back.

u3oooo Ge Feng has been in contact with many horse thieves, and Xiao Zhiyan has also wandered in the grassland, and Zhai Zhe is still a little worried about their safety.

Three or four days have passed, and the episode has slowly regained its calm on the surface, and the protagonist of the whole incident, Ge Feng, seems to have been forgotten by everyone, he is actually just lighting the fuse of the contradiction between the two sides. However, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the original trade road with few pedestrians suddenly became lively again, and various material resources were continuously transported to Xuanzhen, which was adjacent to the market town, and both sides of the division were preparing to build caravans. Every day, messengers rushed out of the bazaar to the grasslands to make contact with reliable tribes and friends.

Da Shengkui's inner house, the outside is heavily guarded, and eight people in the house sit in a circle, making the whole house seem crowded. A burning stove in the corner kept the whole room warm. Fan Yongdou sat in the middle, and Zhai Tang sat on his right hand.

"They only need food, unlike the Mongols, they don't need tea, they just need grain." Fan Yongdou said as he waved his arm.

"I heard that there was a famine in Liaodong this year!" A Humpty Dumpty interjected, it was Liang Wendao, the owner of Xingshunkui, and these eight people were the owners of the eight major firms on Fan Yongdou's side.

Fan Yongdou said calmly: "Exactly, now Dongyu is willing to spend three times the price of Daming to buy grain from us!" The only problem is that the roads in the Doyan Grassland are very unsafe! ”

"In the summer of this year, the governor of Jiliao, Lord Yuan, once opened a market in the Duoyan grassland to sell grain to the Chahar people, but the market was closed two months later, and the price of grain in Shengjing did not fall in the slightest."

Some owners who have never been to Liaodong are worried, and asked: "Dongyu is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, won't he buy and sell by force?" “

Fan Yongdou smiled and said: "Dongyu is not as barbaric as the Chahar people, they dry up and fish, you can choose the best candidates in the family to go with the caravan, hearing is false, seeing is believing!" "Yue Tobel has been active in Zhangjiakou these days, and the content of the secret discussion has made him full of confidence.

Someone interjected: "I heard that the Lu Dongjia is ready to contact the Chahars!" “

Fan Yongdou shook his head and said: "This year, Chahar has gained a lot from defeating the Tumuts in the Zhangba grassland, and it will not be profitable to sell goods to them now."

187e

684, besides, the war is not over yet, and the Chahars will not sell their horses at will. “

Zhai Tang had been listening quietly and said very little.

The discussion in the room was in full swing, Zhai Zhe was bored outside, he didn't know why his brother came to Da Shengkui to discuss why he brought himself over, and such roles were held by Hao Yangyou before.

Out of curiosity about Fan Yongdou, Zhai Zhe carefully looked at the pattern of Da Shengkui, the general number of Da Sheng Kui is on a street corner in the south of Zhangjiakou Market Town, the location is not very good, but several shops around it are all Da Shengkui's industry, and even the storage warehouses are also connected together, which is very convenient to manage.

Zhai Zhe was wandering around, and a man dressed as a scribe came out of the house and beckoned to him: "Second master, come here!" ”

Zhai Zhe had never done business before, and he was not familiar with the characters of major businesses.

Seeing that Zhai Zhe's face was full of confusion, the scribe explained: "I am the chief treasurer of Da Shengkui, surnamed Ke!"

"Shopkeeper Ke!" Zhai Zhe hurriedly saluted.

Zhai Zhe followed the shopkeeper Ke into the main number of Da Shengkui, the shopkeeper Ke led him to introduce them one by one, and when he walked to the counter, Zhai Zhe saw a woman in a goose-yellow Mongolian robe who was crackling there.

"This is Fan Yi, the sister of the owner of our name! Proficient in baht! ”

As she spoke, the woman raised her head, her nose and thin eyebrows, and the most eye-catching thing was a pair of smart eyes, like the finishing touch, which made the whole person look very comfortable.

The woman saw Zhai Zhe staring at him directly, her face first showed a thin layer of anger, and then she blushed and lowered her head.

Zhai Zhe was just curious, how could the Fan family let a woman meddle in business. Jin merchants have strict management within the family, and generally one person is designated by the elders to run the business, and the other descendants have the right to share the profits, but not the right to operate, which is the case with Zhai Zhe.

"This is the second master of the Zhai family of Wangshun Pavilion!" Shopkeeper Ke was secretly amused and introduced Zhai Zhe to Fan Yi.

"I've seen the second master!" Fan Yifu was blessed, and Zhai Zhe hurriedly returned the salute.

When Zhai Zhe turned around, he heard a small muttering behind him, "It's a master to be so young!" ”

Zhai Zhe heard it clearly, this time he made a red face, and only in the Fan family, everyone respectfully called him the second master. He turned his head to explain, but he didn't know where to speak, and he saw a "flutter" on the other side, and Fan Yi was covering his mouth and snickering.

"Let the young lady see it!" Zhai Zhe took a deep look, and then he felt funny and shook his head.

Shopkeeper Ke glanced at Fan Yi and said, "Second master, please drink tea in the house!" ”

Zhai Zhe said goodbye and left with the shopkeeper, only thinking that this Miss Fan was very interesting.

It wasn't until nightfall that the meeting of Dasheng Kui was over, and Zhai Zhe led the guards to escort his brother home. Since the split of the Zhangjiakou Jin Commercial Guild, the owners of all businesses have strengthened their guards, and everyone is familiar with each other's details, and there is no good stubble here.

When Zhai Yan returned home, he saw Xiao Zhiyan's figure in the corner of the courtyard, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and a stone fell to the ground.
