[55] White Horse Club

"Money? Brother Yao is talking about paper money? Li Jingfang asked.

Yao Fan said seriously: "It's paper money!" The imperial court made paper money, and took back the silver and copper money, copper and silver are metals, and they can be sold for money, so that there will naturally be an entry, and the copper money and silver of the Qing Dynasty outside are hundreds of millions, even if 10 million taels of silver are withdrawn a year, it is also considerable, and it will not affect the normal monetary order of the market.

Then the government used the exchanged silver to find foreigners to buy machines and build factories, and made foreign cloth, steel, dyes, ships and other goods to sell in China, gradually reducing the market share of foreign goods. ”

Yao Fan was not sure at all whether his nonsense would be passed into Li Hongzhang's ears by the three little cubs of the Li family, and then affect the policy. The only thing he was sure of was that if the Qing Dynasty really implemented these policies, it would invisibly# shake the foundations of its rule.

Yao Fan said: "When it comes to paper money, some people oppose it, talking about the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, but the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty is because the finance has been unable to make ends meet. But at this time and that time, the finances of our Qing Kingdom are still good, it is the time of money, and now all the Western countries are in money, if the Qing Dynasty does not catch up with this trend, wouldn't it be a loss? Do you think, people use paper as money, but the Qing Kingdom uses silver as money, who suffers? ”

"If the princes in the court do not object to this matter, it is also simple! All you need is a newspaper! As long as the newspaper said that the policy of the imperial court was a flower, everyone would talk about it less. If there are three newspapers advocating together, then there will be fewer people who criticize it, and if there are seven or eight newspapers that say yes, how many people will be the first to come out? ”

Li Jingfang said: "What if the newspaper is also against it? ”

Yao Fan said: "Since the new foreign affairs of my Qing Dynasty are all run by officials and private officials, as long as the official who manages the newspaper agrees with the policies of the imperial court, he will have a card in his hand, and the criticism in the newspaper will naturally disappear." ”

So the four of them discussed the issue of money for a long time, and then dispersed.

Early the next morning, Yao Fan and his men got up, washed briefly, loaded the goods on the bicycle shelves as usual, bought pancakes, green onions, sauce meat, and sausages from the inn as dry food on the road, and went on the road with the Li family.

Yao Fan realized that the Li family's team was actually more than his caravan of 31 people!

In addition to the three carriages shared by the three brothers of the Li family, there were also three horse-drawn carts, which were piled with boxes, cages, oil umbrellas and other travel objects. Yao Fan saw that these people were strong, but they looked like they were eating soldiers' meals.

Li Jingfang explained to Yao Fan: "These are also my family's subordinates, they are all rough people, and yesterday I told them to rest in the big car shop in the city. Brother Yao, why don't you get in the car, let's chat along the way. ”

Yao Fan did not agree to Li Jingfang's invitation to ride in the same car, and rode a bicycle to follow behind his own plans.

Li Jingshu was a teenager, so he asked for a bicycle from Yao Fan's buddy, transferred the cage and the guy to his car, and followed Yao Fan on his bike.

"Do you really know how to ride?" Yao Fan said with a smile.

"Of course, I ride it at home, but I haven't been far away. Brother Yao, your car is so good, it's comfortable to ride. My Yanmar is not ordinarily big in front and back, the front wheel will not turn, it relies on the back wheel to turn, not as flexible as you, it's really far behind. Li Jing said.

The young man Li Jingshu and Yao Fan rode slowly together, and Yao Fan also tried to constantly impact the young man's heart with his words. How can a young man like a blank sheet of paper be able to resist the contamination of old fritters like Yao Fan, gradually, Li Jingshu was infected by Yao Fan, and gradually worshiped in his heart, and even deliberately began to learn Yao Fan's tone and action.

It was about last night that he didn't sleep enough to read too late, and after eating dry food at Shilibao at noon, Li Jingshu got into his car and took a nap. After Yao Fan and his men finished eating dry food in Shilipu Town, they continued to ride in front of the sun.

"Guys, hurry up, get to the front in the shade, let's rest and wait for them." Yao Fan didn't want to swallow slowly.

So the Yao family's bicycle team gradually pulled the Li family and his party farther and farther away, leaving them behind.

Riding and riding, Yao Fan saw that there were blue sorghum fields on both sides of the road in front of him, and Yao Fan smiled: "It's good here, let's go in and lie down, and the sun won't shine." ”

The men were also in favor of waiting for the convoy behind them while hiding from the sun in this sorghum field, so everyone just cared about riding inside.

Yao Fan was full of interest, rushed to the front of the car, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Hey~~~~~~~~~ sister, you boldly go forward!

Go forward, don't look back!

The road to heaven and earth, nine thousand nine hundred and nine thousand nine hundred and nine!

…………”

The yellow sorghum ears and green sorghum leaves on both sides of the road swayed vigorously, nodding their heads in the wind.

The men were listening to it with joy, and when they were listening to the excitement, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the dense sorghum bushes in the fields on both sides to surround them, each holding a single knife out of the sheath in their hands, and piercing people's eyes.

The group of people also shouted: "Don't move if you want to die!! ”

"Not good! There is a robbery! He Shicheng screamed!

The guys are in a mess all at once! One by one, some fell out of the car with a weak foot, some directly hit the guy in front of them, and some couldn't hold the front of the car and fell to the ground on the side, and there was chaos everywhere.

Yao Fan panicked all of a sudden, how could he have thought that he would encounter bandits in broad daylight! He was singing happily just now, and at this time, he had to come up with a countermeasure, and his mind was really a little blank.

Li Jun, the carpentry squad leader, shouted: "Everyone copy guys!" Take a stick! ”

Liu Jinbao, who once offered to help Yao Fan take the blame, wanted to buy time, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The hero on the other side! Which way is the fairy? How much do you want to buy road money? ”

He Shicheng, Zhou Sisi and others were hurriedly pumping sticks from the back of the car, but when the chaos was over, the big blades had already been put on everyone's necks one by one, and the crowd suddenly quieted down.

The cold steel knife was on Yao Fan's shoulder, and the blade was close to Yao Fan's neck, and Yao Fan's goosebumps rose instantly!

He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he almost wanted to flee with blood sacrifice immediately, but he was afraid that he would not be fast enough, and the sudden escape would provoke the other party, and he would wipe it off with a knife, and he would return to 2o11 in a different place.

At the critical moment, Yao Fan calmed down and said boldly: "The heroes keep people!" If you have something to discuss! Take whatever you want, don't do it! We are all businessmen who run the rivers and lakes to do business, there are old and low in the family, good men and benevolent and righteous, and we think more about the old and young in our family! ”

I saw a black-faced man who looked like a leader on the other side stood up and said, "You are the shopkeeper?" ”

Yao Fan saw that he was not tall, his shoulders were round, and his body was very strong, so he slowly hugged his fists and bowed his hands to him, not daring to alarm the person with a knife next to him, and praised in his mouth: "What a man!" It's really a raw leopard with a head and ringed eyes, mighty and courageous! When I saw it today, it really deserved its name! In Xia Yao Fan, I have seen a hero! ”

The black-faced strong man frowned and said, "Do you recognize me?" ”

Yao Fan's cold sweat also came down, and he said without holding back his mouth: "Hero, you first tell this brother next to me to put down the knife, it's scary to stick to my neck like this, I'm an unarmed businessman, and I don't know martial arts, why are you afraid of me doing it?" ”

This man snorted at the bandits around Yao Fan, and the man pulled the knife, so scared that Yao Fan almost wanted to flee with blood, but fortunately Yao Fan saw it clearly, this person was the action of retracting his arm, otherwise he would have fled immediately.

Yao Fan wiped his cold sweat, and said in his heart that this time the blood sacrifice had more time to escape.

He swallowed and said, "Hero, you're here to buy Lu Cai, right?" We, the merchants, have prepared filial piety, and each of you has it, ten taels of silver per person, what do you think? There is something to discuss. ”

He Shicheng hurriedly said: "The silver is in the bag at the back of my car, I will give it to the king, please let the king let us go." ”

Hearing this, a red-faced man beside the leader immediately stepped forward and untied the burden placed in the shelf behind the car that He Shicheng fingered, and saw that there were fifty or sixty silver ingots of ten taels in it, so he picked up the thick cotton burden weighing more than 30 catties and gave it to a woman next to the leader.

The black-faced leader said to Yao Fan: "This shopkeeper, what do I ask you, do you know me?" ”

Yao Fan hurriedly smiled and said, "I really haven't seen you before." But I have heard that there are heroes who rob the rich and help the poor in this vicinity.

Heroes, you also know that we go to the rivers and lakes to do business, pay attention to harmony and make money, and everyone meets on the rivers and lakes, that is, there is fate. As the saying goes, once born and twice ripe, in the future, I, Yao Fan, will lead a caravan to pass by here, and I will definitely prepare enough silver to honor you as today. As the saying goes, everyone has to make money, and the rules of the rivers and lakes set by the good man, we must follow it when we do business. ”

The black-faced man's face was slightly softened by Yao Fan's words, but his mouth was still cold: "You shopkeeper can speak." Originally, it was just a matter of collecting money to buy the road, but recently there was a great drought, and the old and young in the village were hungry, so I had to bother the shopkeeper, just to give porridge to save the people, and leave all the goods for me. Don't worry, as long as you are honest and don't move around, my White Horse Club will only rob money, not die. ”

Yao Fanxin said, "Yes! If you want to blame yourself, blame yourself for not being enlightened!

There is a dense sorghum field on both sides of the official road here, like a forest! As the saying goes, I should have been on guard in advance, but now that the knife is on my neck, it is indeed too late to bargain at this time. ”

After Yao Fan thought it clearly, he said in a single voice: "In this case, then the heroes will move, guys and big guys listen, don't move, if you hurt yourself, I, Yao Fan, can't explain to your family." Money is an external object, if you lose it today, you will earn it tomorrow, don't care. ”

The woman beside the black-faced leader smiled: "You shopkeeper is also benevolent, and it is the first time I have seen a trader like you who cherishes his buddies, you remember, in the future, if you take this road, my White Horse Club will definitely not charge you tolls." ”

Yao Fan scolded over and over again in his heart: "I am your grandfather!" I'm your grandfather!! I'm your grandfather!! ”

With a smile on his face, he said: "Yao Fan, thank you for this woman's care!" ”

So the guys were then driven aside by the bandits to sit on the ground, and Yao Fan was taken by the bandits to the leader and instructed the bandits to unload the bicycles.

Just as Yao Fan was watching the bandits move his goods with a bitter face, the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded in all directions, and a group of people with snow-bright steel knives rushed out of the sorghum field.
