If you want to buy rice millet from the eight families, you must first pass the level of Fan Yongdou, and Zhai Zhe has long been mentally prepared for such a situation.
Zhangjiakou eight business names, one is prosperous, one is lost. The caravan to Liaodong was now the most profitable business in Dongkou, and Fan Yongdou used his relationship with the Jurchens to firmly control the lifeblood of the other seven merchants.
In front of Da Shengkui, Zhai Zhe's footsteps swayed, like playing in the mountains and rivers, and behind him, Ji Hong urged the four pro-soldiers to carry two large gift boxes.
Walking to the door of Da Shengkui, Zhai Zhe made a gesture to the guy at the door and said, "I'm tired of reporting it, just say that Zhai Zhe came to visit Fan Dong's house!" "Be polite in speech and demeanor.
The guy looked up at Zhai Zhe and vaguely felt a little familiar, but after all, he didn't get along with the Zhai family for many years, so he didn't think about it after thinking about it for a long time, so he turned his head and walked towards the business.
After about a quarter of an hour, the man came back and said, "The host, please come in!" ”
Zhai Zhe waved his hand and asked Ji Hong and others to carry the gift box into the door, followed him into the back house, handed it over to the director's housekeeper, and told Ji Hong to stay outside the door, and he went to the inner house with the little guy who led the way.
Ji Hong and the other four stood by the courtyard gate and waited, these people had lived outside the fortress for a long time, dealing with horse thieves and beasts all year round, they looked silent and fierce, and even the guys in the past avoided it far away.
The little servant first went to the study to pray, and after a while, Fan Yongdou walked out of it and arched his hand to Zhai Zhe from afar: "Lord Qianhu of Tumut, is you finally free to come to the contempt?" ”
Fan Yongdou's news is really well-informed, and the first sentence of the meeting is hidden in the edge, but Zhai

Tetsuya is no longer the hairy guy he was two years ago.
"Big brother and I laughed, if it weren't for my big brother's help last year, how could I have my status in the Tumut tribe!" Zhai Zhe's demeanor was as usual.
The two entered the door in turn, sat down the guest and host, and quietly withdrew after the servant served tea.
Fan Yongdou looked at Zhai Zhe for a moment, and said with emotion: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and the ancients have not deceived me!" ”。
"It's my honor to join hands with my eldest brother!" Zhai Zhe's posture was very low.
Fan Yongdou smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "With your status today, there are countless businesses that are willing to cooperate, such as crucian carp across the river, is there really a place for my eldest brother?" ”
Zhai Zhe stood up, raised the teacup on his chest, and said, "I came here this time, and there are indeed two things. ”
"Xiante apologizes to the eldest brother!" Zhai Zhe lowered his head and said: "Two years ago, I left Zhangjiakou in a hurry and went to naturalization, delaying my marriage with Miss, this matter is that I am sorry for Miss, sorry for the Fan family, I hope that the eldest brother can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes." ”
Fan Yongdou nodded slightly, he mentioned this matter first, but he had to say it to Zhai Zhe's face in order to give the Fan family a face.
"Again, I hope to be able to work together with my eldest brother in business again." Zhai Zhe lowered his voice, "The caravan in Mobei is about to return, the west entrance has not been opened to trade for two years, and the furs accumulated in Mobei are piled up. ”
"You have the Liu family in Youyu County, do you still need us?" Fan Yongdou obviously minded about this matter.
"When I entered the West Exit alone, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, and it was helpless to find the Liu family to cooperate!"
The two of them tested each other in a real sentence and a false sentence, but they talked about everything that should be discussed.
Fan Yongdou coughed lightly and said, "The money in the business is inexhaustible, I still say the same thing, I only help my own family!" ”
"The Zhai family and the Fan family are one family!" Zhai Zhe tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but he felt that this smile was more ugly than bitter. He didn't hate Fan Yi, but he didn't like it a little, he was reluctant to talk about this marriage from the beginning, but the situation was overwhelming, and he couldn't escape it in the end. For merchants, marriage is also a business.

C1 When Zhai Zhe said this, Fan Yongdou also stood up, looked directly at him, and said loudly: "If the Zhai family and the Fan family become a family, it is not impossible to reproduce the glory of the Jin merchant Zhang Wang family back then!" ”
The two families of Zhang and Wang are worthy of the Wang Chonggu family and Zhang Siwei family in the Jin Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chonggu served as the governor of Xuanda, and it was he who led the peace of Longqing during his tenure, so that the Wang family almost monopolized Xuandazhen's trade with Mongolia. The Jin merchants were rich enough to rival the country, which also drove the status of the Jin land in the court. Later, when Zhang Ju was appointed as an assistant, Wang Chonggu, who was at odds with him, was forced to resign, but after overthrowing Zhang Juzheng, it was Wang Chonggu's nephew Zhang Siwei who succeeded him as the assistant of the Great Ming Dynasty. The Jin merchants had more than just money at that time.
All Jin merchants have a dream, that is, to reproduce the glory of the two families of Zhang and Wang, and as for morality, it is a requirement for saints.
Fan Yongdou did not hide his ambition in front of Zhai Zhe, he had already decided that the young man in front of him was the same kind of person as himself. For people like them, the best way to work together is if both parties have a common goal.
"That's still far away!" Zhai Zhe is far less optimistic than Fan Yongdou. Relying only on business, even if you become rich, I am afraid that it will be far from the status of the Zhang and Wang families, and power is much more powerful than money.
"Far away! But as long as you and I join hands, we can already see hope. ”
"I need rice millet!" Zhai Zhe is very practical and doesn't want to accompany Fan Yongdou to say those things that don't look for margins.
"What do I get?"
Zhai Zhe thought for a while and said, "After the Naturalization City is rebuilt, I will leave a place for the Fan family, and the road to kill Hukou and get out of the jam is safe for Zhai Fan's two caravans!" ”
"Good!" Fan Yongdou nodded, dipped his tea, and said, "I am willing to exchange Dashengkui Yicheng shares for Shangmeng Yicheng shares!" ”
Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything, Zhai Zhe took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "The Shang Alliance is not unique to me, and I can't agree to you immediately about this matter." ”
This is an obvious excuse, the business alliance is Zhai Zhe's source of financial resources, and he must not allow a little difference. Dare to introduce Liu Quan because he is strong and weak, he is sure to control it, but if Fan Yongdou's hand reaches in, it will be completely different, with the financial resources of the eight families inside, and the help of the Jurchens outside, Zhai Zhe does not dare to take risks. As for Da Shengkui's shares, it was useless to him, and in the face of an old fox like Fan Yongdou, Zhai Zhe was still very self-aware.
"I await the day you say yes!" Fan Yongdou really laughed like an old fox.
Zhai Zhe's reaction did not come out of Fan Yongdou's expectations. There are two things in this world that make men want to stop - power and money. Zhai Zhe has already tasted this taste, so he is not afraid that he will not take the bait. No matter how careful Zhai Zhe is, the Shang Alliance can't fight more than eight families in Daming, and the Tumut tribe in Mo Nan will surrender to the Jurchens sooner or later, how can he jump out of Fan Yongdou's palm.
Zhai Zhe coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassment.
"As for the wedding date, let's put it on that day, it's a few years late, and the housekeeper will be an old girl!" Fan Yongdou laughed.
"It's all up to the eldest brother!"
This business is no easier to negotiate than marching and fighting, and when he walked out of the gate of Da Shengkui, Zhai Zhe's back was already soaked. As long as he is still in Monan, the Eight Families are the shadow that he can't get rid of, the business of Xuanfu is already under the control of the Eight Families, this year, Fan Yongdou is also trying to expand to Datong, the Jurchens are creating pressure on him all the time, and Daming is still sleeping.
Unlike when he came, Fan Yongdou kept sending Zhai Zhe outside the gate when he left.
Seeing the tall back disappear around the corner of the street, Fan Yongdou admired the young man from the bottom of his heart. This time, Zhai Zhe came to visit alone, and was not accompanied by the Zhai family, saying that Zhai Zhe and the Wangshun Pavilion of the Zhai family were not one, which was exactly the situation he was willing to see.
Daisheng Kui's inner house.
A female voice sobbed, "I will never marry anyone in my life, he will marry if he wants, and he will abandon if he wants to, what am I?" ”
"If you don't get married, do you really want to work alone for the rest of your life?" Fan Yongdou persuaded softly.
Fan Yi stopped crying, sighed, and said, "Are there still few women who have been lonely and old all my life in Jindi?" I should have died outside the fortress like those Han people who ventured out of the fortress. I didn't expect to really come back home. ”
Fan Yongdou said: "Zhai Zhe's future is limitless! Marrying him is no worse than marrying those who have merit! ”
A man's world is completely different from a woman's.
"Do you care about his future?" Fan Yi was full of grievances and had nowhere to speak, and the figure of talking and laughing with himself in the business two years ago resurfaced in front of him.
