After eating dinner at night, Fang Yingwu was bored and took out a very thin pocket-like cloth bag from his inner pocket. Carefully opened the cloth bag, there was another layer of oiled paper inside, and then opened the oiled paper to reveal the innermost thing.

This is a bill, a bill issued by the border army of Yansui Town. The bill proves that the bearer sent 700 stone of grain to Yansui Military Town, which can be exchanged for 1,000 salt in the Zhejiang Salt Transport Embassy. It's just that the name of the ticket holder is blank and can be filled in arbitrarily.

In the eyes of knowledgeable people, they must exclaim that this bill is at least worth more than 1,000 taels of silver, and may even reach 2,000 taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

This starts with Fang Yingwu's partnership with the Shaanxi Sanyuan royal family, Fang Yingwu guided the Sanyuan royal family to participate in the border market trade, and also occupied a large share under his manipulation.

Although when Fang Yingwu left Yulin, the border market had not yet opened, but according to experience, the Wang family could make a profit of 8,000 taels in the border market in May. So the Wang family has to take out one or two thousand taels of silver, otherwise it will be too ignorant.

However, there are two problems, one is that Fang Yingwu is a single person who is long-distance and inconvenient to carry so much silver; Second, the Wang family's investment is also large, and the current cash is insufficient.

So Zuihou's experienced Governor Yang came up with an idea, which was to use salt affairs to open the Chinese law and use salt tickets as a medium.

The so-called Kaizhong method means that the salt merchants first transport grain and grass in the border towns, and then receive the grain bills from the border towns. After that, you can exchange the ticket for salt, support salt from the salt producing area and sell it for profit, which is a way for the dynasty to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the border army.

So the Wang family raised 700 stone of grain and transported it to Yansui Border Town, in exchange for the border town bills with blank names. Then let the party take it back to dispose of.

Although the process is also very troublesome, it still requires several procedures to convert into cash and fall into the hands of Fang Yingwu. But in those days there was no silver ticket, and this method was already the most convenient way.

Other salt merchants like to go to Lianghuai Salt, which has a larger production and sales volume. But Fang Yingwu thought about it and chose Zhejiang, this province.

The first is to avoid the iron-faced and selfless old man Wang, who is a high-ranking official in Nanjing and Nanzhili; Second, it is easy to find a reliable agent in this province, and you can only smear your eyes in Lianghuai.

This method is not white and black is not black, it is more gray, and it is inconvenient to publicize. Therefore, it is impossible for Fang Yingwu to come forward by himself, he does not have the energy or time, and he cannot swagger at will.

All he has to do now is find someone who can be trusted. Not only to be reliable, but also to be business-savvy. You can't be completely ignorant of things.

Then fill in the person's name on the bill, and then let the person go to the Zhejiang Salt Transportation Embassy to exchange for salt, and sell salt for salt, so as to exchange for real money.

Fang Yingwu's original idea was to return to Chun'an, slowly look for a candidate in his hometown, and entrust him to be his agent.

But after seeing Wang De, Wang Kui, Wang Xiaoniang and others that day, Fang Yingwu suddenly found that this Wang De and Wang Kui seemed to be good candidates.

But you have to convince Wang De first, even if you want to use Wang Kui. can't get around Wang De. After all, Wang Kui and Wang De have always had one interest, and without Wang De's nod, Wang Kui would not be able to get out.

Of course, if you want to convince Wang De, you have to pay attention to methods. Neither too soft nor too hard. If it is soft, it will have no effect, and if it is hard, it is easy to become an enemy.

Therefore, indirect implicit display and deterrence are the most haode. I want to be rejected through the intention to marry a daughter. Wang De already has a deep understanding.

However, Fang Yingwu was not in a hurry to visit Wang De again, and he went to the city again the next day. Come to the vicinity of the Northwest Gongyuan and continue to investigate the surrounding environment. Prepare for next year's township test.

Now there is more than a year before the township test, and it is relatively easy to rent a house, after all, not everyone has the energy and financial resources to go to the provincial capital a year in advance to rent a house.

In the end, Fang Yingwu finally chose a courtyard with a good location, agreed with the owner's family to rent it next year, signed a contract, and paid a deposit of two taels of silver.

After finalizing this matter, Fang Yingwu was in a good mood and went back to his residence. Seeing that it was already noon, I picked a restaurant in the lively place outside the Wulin Gate to eat and drink slowly.

At this time, it is the time when there are the most guests, and the lobby is bustling with people, and many people are talking about the latest news.

Fang Yingwu casually listened to other people's chatter, but suddenly heard someone next to him say in a loud voice: "Do you know? The year before last, Wang Yuanwai's house from Chun'an, which was the one with two shops on Beiguan Street, recently hit Tai Sui! ”

Wang Dewang is a big family? This caught Fang Yingwu's attention, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

Listen to this person again: "The king has provoked a bully who doesn't know what to do, and he has been miserable recently!" ”

There was another person next to him: "Yes, it seems that the bully has taken a fancy to Wang Yuanwai's daughter, and Wang Yuanwai has a heart to disobey and wants to marry his daughter first."

But it turned out that those families who were diplomatic with Wang Yuan Haode refused to do family affairs, which made Wang Yuanwai very distressed, and I heard that it was this bully who threatened everyone behind his back. ”

Someone else interjected: "I've also heard that this bully seems to be surnamed Fang, and his origin is quite mysterious, and I don't know what he does." ”

Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and unconsciously choked on a mouthful of hot soup and coughed violently. After listening to it for a long time, dare to love that this bully who bullies men and women refers to him?

He didn't do anything hurtful, how did he become a bully in the rumors? Is there a bully in the world who treats Wang Xiaoniang so gently?

The previous person "snapped" the case, and said indignantly: "What's even more hateful is that the bully seems to be planning to get both people and money!" I heard that they colluded with the eunuchs of the Weaving Bureau to extort the Wang family's factory, and clearly put on the intention of occupying the Wang family's property! It's really unsightly! ”

Fang Yingwu had just recovered from the bad news that he had become a rumored bully, and suddenly heard this sentence again, and was immediately shocked into deep consternation.

What collusion with the Weaving Bureau eunuchs? What is the usurpation of family property? What's going on?

Not to mention anything else, he was carrying a salt ticket worth thousands of gold in his hand, could he be guilty of embezzling the hundreds of taels of silver from the Wang family?

Could it be that someone deliberately framed him? It's impossible, who would be so idle and bored to do something like this?

Could it be that he was really unlucky, and happened to meet other wicked people who attacked the Wang family, and then he suffered from the pond fish and was mistaken for a partnership?

In any case, we can't let this go on! There is no impermeable wall in the world, and now everyone has begun to rumor that the bully is surnamed Fang, so sooner or later his identity will be revealed.

He still wants face and fame, and he has really become a bully in the mouth of the people, so what does his father think of him? What does the old man Wang Shu Wang think of him? What does Shang Xianggong think of him? (To be continued......)
