Zhangjiakou, located in the extreme north of Hebei, is one of the important passes from the Central Plains to the grassland.

Of course, on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, there are checkpoints for customs clearance in every place, and Zhangjiakou itself does not have much special status, but in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a large traitor gang here, and the eight families led by the Jin merchant Fan family used this checkpoint as the exit to deliver countless materials to the Jurchens, and successfully turned a barbarian tribe that could easily be killed by the blockade of the Ming Dynasty into a shit luck barbarian in the main pass.

At night, darkness shrouded Zhangjiakou, in the Guannei, in a mansion, a table of people was sitting opposite each other, the head of the Fan family, who was once escorted to Kyoto, sat on the main seat, and at the bottom, there were a few feudal officials, who were the actual rulers around Zhangjiakou, and then down were a few military generals, who had just arrived in Zhangjiakou, and finally a young man accompanied the last seat.

It's just that the young man who accompanied the last seat sat in a large group of feudal officials and border army generals, and the border army generals looked neither humble nor arrogant, but the border army generals cowered with a hint of fear.

"The old man actually doesn't want to send anything to the outside of the gate, this is to be scolded, but what materials do those barbarians outside the gate have, this must be known to the court, and it must be controlled by the court, so the old man can only bear this infamy and do this business outside the gate."

The head of the Fan family, who had just escaped from Kyoto, was full of compassion on his face at this time, he looked at everyone seated, and a proud look flashed from his face, "Luckily, this time the old man has won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, and has been given the sacred duty of monitoring outside the gate, from now on, even if he is scolded by others, the old man can proudly go to Jiuquan to see his ancestors." ”

It seems that the sacred words, around, several feudal officials have not yet spoken, and several border army generals have immediately praised them flatteringly.

"Mr. Fan is really for the country and the people, and this credit is much greater than how many people we killed on the battlefield when we fought Han."

"It's just ......"

"It's a shame that some people are still slandering, Mr. Fan, don't worry, there will be nothing unsightly in the future, my ............"

The sound of whiskers and horses sounded constantly, and these border army generals not only cowered in their momentum, but also had no military demeanor in their words, and those feudal officials couldn't help but show a look of disdain on their faces.

A trace of disdain also flashed in the depths of the Fan family's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him.

This trip to Kyoto was almost beheaded, but he was appreciated by Zhu Changluo, and the head of the Fan family not only did not have the slightest fear, but was extremely proud.

In his view, this was providence, and he had only received the support of some influential people in his smuggling, but now he had the support of the next master of the country.

Can this special code be called a traitor, no, it was the owner of the family who asked him to sell it, he just took a little hard money, and the big head had already been divided by the influential person and the next master of the country, so what does betrayal have to do with him.

"Although the old man has a clear conscience, after all, he is still tired in his heart, and the pain of not being understood by a few people knows, but you can rest assured, even if the old man is tired, the dog Yongdou will continue to fight for the Ming Dynasty, and the goods outside this pass will always be branded with the logo of the Fan family."

The head of the Fan family glanced at the young man at the end with a look of pride, this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant was his son Fan Yongdou, although he was still very young, but he had already walked through the customs several times, he was young, and he was extremely old-fashioned.

"It's a pity that the court is in difficulty today, the country wants money everywhere, and the old man's family is not very rich, so at most, I can only add a few dishes to your lordships and my Ming soldiers, and my Fan family and several other families outside the customs have prepared 100,000 taels of silver for each of the generals, and I ask the generals to bring them back directly later."

The head of the Fan family looked up at the butler standing next to him, who immediately came over and took out a bunch of silver tickets and placed them beside several border generals.

"How embarrassing, how embarrassing."

"Mr. Fan's Righteous ............"

…………

The flattering voice sounded again, and one by one the border army generals quickly put away the silver tickets, and beside them, the eyes of the feudal officials flashed with disdain again.

It's not that he despises these border army generals for collecting money, but that he despises these border army generals who can't find the north when they see 100,000 taels.

In the eyes of these feudal officials, 100,000 taels is nothing, even if they don't charge any other money, the annual Bing Jing and Carbon Respect alone are more than this money.

"The generals are polite, the old man is just talking about his modest efforts, and I hope that the generals will be able to overcome the success when they go to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits in the future."

The head of the Fan family looked at the border army generals in front of him with an indifferent smile, with his current status, he naturally didn't need to care about these border army generals, the reason why everyone sent 100,000 taels this time was for the sake of Shaanxi.

Although he didn't have any fear and fear when he went to Kyoto, but, Bu Zheng and Lian Ni Shang to arrest him must not be counted like this, the key is that he also learned about Bu Zheng later, with the life experience of the head of the Fan family for decades, Bu Zheng is a dog, once he is bitten by Bu Zheng, unless one of the two dies, he will not be able to rest for a lifetime.

"Mr. Fan, don't worry, we will definitely help you get things done in Shaanxi."

"Those bandits don't want to escape any of them."

…………

Ying He's voice sounded, and a smug look flashed in the eyes of the head of the Fan family, he was very powerful, he had been lurking in a foreign country for more than ten years, and had made countless contributions, but he should never be against him, there are many times in this world where money is far more useful than ability.

"No, not to help me, but to help Daming, we are all for this country."

The head of the Fan family picked up his wine glass and smiled.

His family has a huge fortune, so what qualifications does such a brocade guard have to be his enemy, and what is even more odious is that Bu Zheng is still a guy who does not enter oil and salt, and even the prince dares to ignore it.

"My lord, the longest of these border troops has not received food and salary for five months, and the shortest has not received food and salary for two months.

However, when the head of the Fan family raised his glass, he definitely didn't expect that outside Zhangjiakou, outside the border army garrison camp, a brocade-clothed guard was wearing the military uniform of the border army and stood in front of the infantry and spoke indifferently.
