The result of the conversation with Ma Rentan made Fan Siwen satisfied.

An important message revealed during the conversation was that he was rich. When Ma Ren opened his mouth to ask for Ning'an Town, he could see the confidence in Ma Ren's eyes. The operation of Ning'an Town not only requires rights, but also needs to be escorted by money. And Ma Rentan confidently proposed that the land income of Ning'an Town would be a few or three percent more than before, which made him a little annoyed.

Annoyed that he underestimated this pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and even more annoyed that his own forces couldn't find out such an important information.

After listening to Fan Siwen's report, Mrs. Fan pondered. glanced at Fan Siwen, who was sitting opposite with a somewhat strange expression, knowing that his little son was arrogant and arrogant, and his desire to control was also extremely strong. Ma Renyan's power is beyond him, and it is understandable that he is a little annoyed. He smiled and said, "If we can't find out, it means that our intelligence strength is not enough." It is good to strengthen it gradually, and if it is created into a full-fledged intelligence department, I am afraid it will be too late. The Father suggests that you see if there are any forces that you can use for yourself, or if you can establish a reliable partnership. ”

Hearing this, Fan Siwen let go of his clenched fist, pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The intelligence department system we have now is not perfect. It is certainly not enough time to re-establish, and if you want to cooperate, you can consider it. I will screen out some capable forces and see if they can be included in the bag. ”

Captain Fan stood up, slowly walked in front of Fan Siwen, put his hand on Fan Siwen's shoulder to press his posture, and said earnestly: "Wen'er, you are the smartest of your father's many children, and you are also talented enough. When you were young, I wanted to send you up to the mountains to practice, but since you were a child, you were not interested in this kind of thing, and it was better to use your brain than to work hard. You came back and you could see that you were willing to enjoy the feeling of being strategic. ”

Captain Fan slowly walked out of the window, looked at the hazy waning moon, fell in the east, stayed up all night to make his voice hoarse, and said, "Your third sister volunteered to go up the mountain to learn art, saying that she wanted to be the sword in your hand." Even your second brother is willing to be mediocre. In the words of the outside, it is 'being a man with his tail between his legs', but in fact, a few people know that they do all this for us. In the future, the position of the head of the Fan family will be yours. The rise and fall of the family is also pinned on you. Your burden is heavy, but your father is reassured. ”

Fan Siwen turned his head to stare at his father, who was slightly embarrassed, and felt even more pressure.

Mrs. Fan turned his head, stared at Fan Siwen, and said slowly: "Aside from the identity of the head of the family, all kinds of calculation games, although there have been some accidents, they still haven't reached a very bad point. We really underestimated Ma Renyan's city government, and we also underestimated Li Xiangru's ability. But so what? You're still young, and you have a huge backstage. The Father will slowly turn these things into your hands so that you can do things in the future. You have to believe that you are not alone!"

Fan Siwen raised his head, looked at Captain Fan and nodded seriously at him, and the depression in his heart was finally swept away. The second sister Fan Chayun's going up the mountain is extremely secretive, but this kind of secrecy is not for the royal family. In other words, the purpose of the second sister going up the mountain is to make the emperor's family fearful, and from time to time statements are made to make the emperor's family fearful. He stood up, exhaled a long breath, bowed deeply to Captain Fan, and said, "Yes! ”

Mrs. Fan nodded with satisfaction, brushed his beard, changed his words, and said: "Although Li Xiangru has Xiaozhi over there, he is too young after all, and his methods are flawed. Most importantly, he was always alone. ”

Fan Siwen nodded when he heard this: "Even if there is a friend of life and death, there is no complete common purpose. Li Xiangru is bent on revenge, and he wants to be the emperor. Even if the royal family is affectionate, it is always a relationship between blood and water. If Lu Changfeng's case is overturned, it will still be the royal face that will be lost. Royal, in addition to being affectionate, one of the biggest drawbacks is the love of face. ”

Taiwei Fan nodded and said, "At present, they are still a cooperative relationship. Under the common interest, he will still be in the line. Moreover, it is in line with the purpose of these vulnerable groups to be warmed. And we are the real strong combination. ”

Mrs. Fan sat down next to the desk, picked up a bowl of tea, moistened his throat, the tea was cold, and he rolled it in his mouth a few times before swallowing it. sighed and sighed: "When I get older, I can't help but boil this body bones......"

"Father, you have another fifty years to live, and the child wants to listen to your teachings on your knees. Fan Siwen said respectfully.

Fan Taiwei laughed a few times, pointed his finger at Fan Siwen in the air, and said, "You, you ......" coughed a few times and said: "People will eventually die, and thanks to the pills brought down by your second sister from the master over the years, I have been able to hold on for more than ten years." For the father, I know that no amount of panacea can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. The internal organs can no longer withstand the erosion of fish meat. After all these years of hard support, I am tired of being a father. Now you can come back and slowly let go of the burden on your body. ”

As Mrs. Fan spoke, his expression also became depressed, and he raised his eyes and looked around full of affection, as if he was explaining the future, and Fan Siwen's heart throbbed when he heard it, and his mood couldn't help but be a little depressed. He raised his head and smiled at Fan Siwen: "Hehe...... It is inevitable that there will be some sentimental memories when you are older. Forget it, don't mention these big things. Wen'er, although I know that you are smart, I still want to remind you of one thing. His Majesty's attitude has become more and more tough in the past six months or so, and we have launched several tentative actions, but he has blocked them one by one. As a result of these temptations, he had the backing of the three major families behind him. ”

Fan Siwen frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "The three major families, aren't they hiding and not participating in the affairs of the government? How can they come out at this juncture? How strong is their support?"

Jingguo has six major families.

Qingzhou Mujia, the capital of silk. He was in charge of nearly eighty percent of the silk and satin business in the entire Jingguo.

Lizhou Feng family, the county of water towns. The granary is full of land, providing nearly half of the grain in Jingguo.

The Bai family in Fuzhou controls shipping, and all kinds of materials are constantly escorted to all parts of Kyushu through shipping.

The Zhuge family of Gongzhou is famous all over the world for the supply of war horses and famous horses. Whether it is the army or the knights of the rivers and lakes, they are full of praise for the horses where they are made. The quality of Madi is almost comparable to that of Loulan. The contribution to the court is also huge.

The last one is the richest Ningzhou Ning family. It is known for minerals, among which gold ore is screened to make silver coins, and iron ore is made into weapons. It is also the most taboo ancient family.

Fan Siwen pondered and then asked, "Does Father know which big families they are?"

Taiwei Fan shook his head, his face was a little gloomy, and said, "My father knows that the land is the three major families, but it is not clear whether the other places have reached an agreement with the royal family. The Mu family in Qingzhou died down when we launched the condemnation. The subordinates of the Ningzhou Di Ning family also violated the agreement and did not say a word. When the flood disaster occurred in Cangzhou, the Feng family in Lizhou continued to transport land at prices lower than the market price. Ning's house in Ningzhou, during this time, the shops on the street have also closed a lot. The children of the Ning family have retreated to build weapons. The emperor turned a deaf ear to this, and should have acquiesced. ”

Fan Siwen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room, one hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the palm of his hand from time to time. If this is really the case, Emperor Jingzhi's next move is likely to select the new emperor's person faster, and use him to collect information about Emperor Jingzhi's land, and it is very likely that he will clear the old enemy for the new emperor after this serious illness. In a hurry, he didn't care about the number of etiquette, and raised his head and asked, "What about the Zhuge family in Gongzhou?

Captain Fan looked at Fan Siwen, who was a little impatient, and replied slowly: "There hasn't changed much, or there is no sign of the war horse moving. ”

"No...... No! This is not right!" Fan Siwen stopped and said excitedly: "It is strange that the war horse does not move, the grain and grass are operating, and the weapons are being built, why is the war horse not moving? The emperor must be accumulating strength, trying to achieve a one-hit kill and stabilize the overall situation." Even if the war horses are not shipped to various places, there must be a tendency to gather. ”

Fan Siwen's voice stopped abruptly after speaking, his face was shocked, he looked at Fan Taiwei, his voice trembled slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be ...... Don't...... Emperor Jingzhi's illness this time is also a conspiracy? Is he pretending to be sick?"

Mrs. Fan didn't say a word, and only burst out a few laughs after a long time: "Haha...... Ha ha...... If you have such a son, what more can you ask for!"

He stood up, Lao Huai patted Fan Siwen on the shoulder with relief, and continued: "This time, the emperor has sealed the palace very tightly, and several dark lines we have buried in the palace have been leaked and cleared. However, Wen'er can rest assured, even if the identities of those shadows have been revealed, we will not be traced. The most they have to do is doubt, and we don't have much experience with this kind of thing?"

Captain Fan walked a few steps, walked out of the window with his hands behind his back, glanced at the skyline that was about to be exposed, and gently closed the window. The morning airstream is the coldest of the day. He turned around and gave Fan Siwen time to think, and seeing that he still had doubts about his answer, he smiled and explained: "The emperor is sick, and he can't go through the road toothlessly, but it doesn't mean that others don't love money and are not afraid of threats." ”

He strolled to the desk, opened a book, opened a letter sandwiched in it and handed it to Fan Siwen, and said, "Look at this, it will be destroyed after reading." ”

After Fan Siwen took it, he read it at a glance and ten lines. With a surprised face, he said, "It's actually him?"

Taiwei Fan nodded and said, "I'm afraid, even Emperor Jingzhi can't think of it, right?"

Fan Siwen's heart settled down a little, nodded, sighed, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Indeed." ”

"Telling you about this is just to make you mentally prepared, since Ma Rentan has already expressed his attitude, he can also accept the benefits of other places. Intensify the process to gain his father's trust and attitude to facilitate our actions. This is a very important matter, and it must be implemented without the slightest mistake. Fan Taiwei said with a solemn expression, and after receiving Fan Siwen's nod of promise, he put his mind at ease, thought of something and continued: "As for Li Xiangru's affairs, you can go and add some trouble to him without affecting the main action." But you must not lose a big one because of a small one. As far as his mother is concerned, he is not a threat. Our biggest goal is to drag the Seventh Prince down, control his military power, and help Tai Low to reach the top. ”

Fan Siwen bowed slightly and responded: "The child remembers." Li Xiangru has already arranged it over there, which is enough for him to have a headache for a while. After saying that, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly to reveal a kind of contempt.

Mrs. Fan didn't ask too much about the details, and stroked his palm: "That's it, it's very good!"
