Chang Qiu first borrowed the mansion for a long time, then told him frankly, and now he is sending women, this degree of enthusiasm has far exceeded the ordinary attitude of a businessman to the general soldiers who fought in Liaodong, so Wu Shigong immediately had doubts.

It was also because of the huge difference in status between the two that Wu Shigong immediately tore off all the masks and asked bluntly: "Mr. Chang!" This official is a straightforward character. Go ahead! What do you want the official to do when you treat him so well? ”

Chang Qiu was taken aback by Wu Shigong's straightforwardness, and then after thinking about it, he laughed again: "Haha-!" ”

Chang Qiu is a side descendant of the Chang family in the eight families of the Jin merchants, and through his own efforts, he has become the shopkeeper of the Chang family in Liaodong. He has been walking inside and outside the Guanxi for many years, and has a very good relationship with officials and generals in Liaodong, not to mention his relations with the Manchus and Mongolians outside the Guan. And in his eyes, what national righteousness, barbarian disasters or anything is false, for him, there is only one thing he cares about, that is, to make money and earn more money for his family.

And when Chang Qiu learned that Wu Shigong had come to Liaodong, he took the initiative to lend his house to Wu Shigong. Not for anything else, just because he wants to make more money on Wu Shigong.

There is a situation that even Wu Shigong himself is not very clear, unlike Wu Shigong's reputation in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and Shilin, his reputation in the business world has long been thunderous.

The financial industry with strong capital, the manufacturing industry with a complete range of categories, the profiteering Yangzhou salt industry, and the commercial network all over several provinces have long made the profit-seeking Jin merchants want to get involved. However, Wu Shigong cooperated with the local gentry group in Henan, the Yangzhou salt merchant group and the Jiangnan consortium, and the activities of these business groups had faintly threatened the position of the Jin merchant group.

What made the Jin merchants even more painful was that they had no chance to establish a relationship with Wu Shigong at all, and they couldn't find the opportunity to join even if they wanted to, which made the Jin merchants feel like they were on pins and needles. And shopping malls are like battlefields. The enemy advanced and retreated, and the Jin merchants also felt that they had room for survival, and they were constantly squeezed by the consortium headed by the Runing Army, so Chang Qiu would never let go of such an opportunity this time.

So Chang Qiu did everything possible to curry favor with Wu Shigong, and wanted to establish business cooperation with the Runing Army to add new financial resources to the Chang family.

So after being taken aback for a short time, Chang Qiu hurriedly smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that there are many business opportunities in Runing, and my Chang family has a wide range of trade routes in the northeast and northwest, so I want to cooperate with Dashuai to sell Runing's commercial goods to the northeast and northwest." I don't know if the handsome guy allows it? ”

Listened to Chang Qiu's answer. Wu Shigong's doubts were mostly dispelled. It's good to ask for others, but I'm afraid that I will be courteous when I have nothing to do. In addition, it can increase business cooperation, and it can also increase financial resources for the Runing Army. So he smiled and said, "That's good! The official will repair a letter and let you go to Runing for a long time. Talk to the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Commercial Bank. For specific affairs, please refer to the shopkeeper Yuan! ”

Of course, Wu Shigong has already passed the Shanchuan Division, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Four Seas Commercial Bank. Learn about the "deeds" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the customs clearance of the Jin merchants. But now it is impossible to eliminate this kind of collaborator, so Wu Shigong decided to make a false decision first. Of course, it would be better if we could bring one or two Jin merchants over. A fragmentation blow is much smaller than a total annihilation.

"That's good! All right! Of course, Chang Qiu didn't know that Wu Shigong had already regarded Jin Shang as a fat sheep, and he was still happy that things were going well, so he was also a little excited. He hurriedly said: "The little one immediately reported to his family, and the little one's daughter also sent it over immediately." ”

Hearing Chang Qiu say "daughter" and "daughter" again, Wu Shigong felt very familiar, Chang Qiu's tone was very similar to the old bustard in the flower building. Although in the Ming Dynasty, there was a custom of local gentry giving officials their own daughters or concubines to sleep. But after all, Chang Qiu was born in the eight families of Jin Shang, and he has become the shopkeeper of the Chang family with a high status, so his identity is not much lower than that of some low-level officials, so Wu Shigong became interested in Chang Qiu's daughter all of a sudden.

"Mr. Chang! Is your daughter her own? Wu Shigong asked half-truthfully.

But this question embarrassed Chang Qiu for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and replied very seriously: "It's an orphan girl in Datong Yujian, who was adopted at home and became a goddaughter. But please rest assured, this goddaughter has been raised from a small child to a large family, and has been teaching the rules of a large family, and will never insult the handsome. ”

Wu Shigong completely understood Chang Qiu's words, and Chang Qiu's "daughter" was a famous prostitute he bought in Datong, Shanxi, similar to the role of Yangzhou Thin Horse. At this time, Wu Shigong didn't care whether Chang Qiu's daughter was dry or wet, he couldn't help but move his index finger, just wanted to see the beauty of the prostitute of the same name.

You must know that under the great tomorrow, Yangzhou and Datong are the two fashion capitals of famous prostitutes, and Wu Shigong has long wanted to appreciate the scenery of Datong girls. So he couldn't wait to say: "Then the official will be cheeky to accept Mr. Chang's daughter!" ”

Chang Qiu was overjoyed to see Wu Shigong accept the gift, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he heard Chi Ming behind Wu Shigong let out a deliberate coughing sound, which seemed to be very disturbing.

Wu Shigong was also a little unhappy by Chi Ming's cough, he turned around and said, "Chi Ming!" Are you suffering from the cold? ”

Chi Ming looked at Wu Shigong in a panic, immediately lowered his head, and whispered: "Mr. Deng has confessed that you can't let a strange woman get close to an adult. The small ones are also the responsibility. ”

Wu Shigong almost spurted out a mouthful of evil blood. Nima's, his private life has been taken care of. This regulation must be due to the instructions of Deng Qifan, these civil and military officials, and his own inner house. And Deng Qifan, these civil and military officers, are concerned about their own safety, but what about their own inner house? Do you still have to guess what the ladies meant?

At this embarrassing time, a personal soldier outside the door sent a letter of worship. Wu Shigong opened the prayer post and looked at it, and it read: "Daming Gannuwei commands the servant Hadan Batel to worship!" ”

Wu Shigong was surprised when he saw this post. The name of the visiting Ming commander was obviously a Mongol. Because in the previous life, there was a famous Mongolian center who played basketball, and it was called Battle.

The current Wu Shigong is not a novice in officialdom, he understands that such a Ming official is basically a Mongolian surrender to the Ming Dynasty, with no actual rights and no shili, it is nothing more than an official position given by the imperial court to support him, and he is an insignificant person at all. But Wu Shigong thought about it again and found that this was a good opportunity to eliminate the embarrassment in front of him, so he immediately ordered: "Call Master Ha in." ”

Wu Shigong didn't know that that Hadan Batel was a "famous person" in Liaodong, or Shanhaiguan, and his "legendary deeds" gave the Ming officials and the people a lot of joy after dinner.

Hadan Baatar was the leader of a small tribe in Mongolia and was attached to a middle tribe. Then there was the big tribe, and a few more layers before the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia at that time - Lin Dan Khan.

When Nurhachi invaded the Mongols, Hadan Baatar took his small tribe to join the Mongol army that resisted the Houjin. After Lin Dan Khan was defeated again and again, many Mongol tribes switched to Houjin, and Hadan Batel took his own tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty did not take the small role of Hadan Baatar in his eyes at all, because the Ming Dynasty was very strong at this time, and there were many large Mongolian tribes inclined to the Ming Dynasty, so the status of Hadan Baatar was not important.

However, with the next few times, Nurhachi broke through the Mongolian traitors in the Ming army's cities, and the status of many Mongols here in the Ming Dynasty plummeted.

However, Hadan Baatel happened to take advantage of this opportunity to gain the trust of the Ming officials. Every time the Mongolian traitors sacrificed the city, Hadan Baatar always happened to be in the city, and every time he did not surrender Houjin, he stepped on shit and escaped. In this way, Hadanbaatar proved his loyalty to the Ming officials.

Of course, after several escapes, there are only a few dozen herdsmen of the tribe who follow Hadanbatar, but this does not prevent Hadanbaatar from being promoted, and in recognition of his loyalty, Hadanbatel's official position is also rising.

Next, as the status of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong was reversed, more and more Mongolian tribes took refuge in the Later Jin, and there were fewer and fewer Mongols who were pro-Ming Dynasty. But the Ming army always needs to find out the intelligence of Houjin and Mongolia, and some money-hungry generals in the Ming army also need someone to contact the Mongolian tribes to do business, so Hadanbatar used his relationship to find out some information about Houjin and Mongolia for the Ming army.

That's it, because Houjin didn't pay attention to the small role of Hadan Battell, and later needed the channel of Hadan Battle to keep in touch with Guannai, so he didn't move Hadan Battle much.

And although Da Ming used Hadan Batel on his side, he didn't pay attention to him at all. He should have been allowed to work hard without hesitation, and the rewards he should have given were not discounted, and even the money he earned through Hadanbaatle's trade routes was not left.

But Hadanbatel still has some conscience, he is unwilling to leave behind those who follow his tribe, so he earns less and less money, and barely makes ends meet.

However, as a result, Hadan Baatar had no money for activities to maintain Mongol relations, and his connections among the Mongol tribes became less and less, so that under the vicious circle, he gradually lost his usefulness in the Ming army. So he became completely shameless, he should be a scoundrel to ask the government for some money and food, and he should be abducted and deceived to defraud the Ming army of silver with false information. And some of the people in his tribe are selling coolies, and some are pimping, and they have completely become a group of green-skinned scoundrels in Shanhaiguan City. (To be continued......)
