Everyone left, and Fan Ning was the only one left in the imperial study, and Zhao Zhen still had something to talk to him about alone.

Zhao Zhen paced back and forth in the room for a while, then turned back to Fan Ning and said, "To be honest, I regret it a little, it seems that today's meeting should not be held!" ”

Fan Ning understands Zhao Zhen's worries, Zhao Zhen is worried about the Liao State, since the Tanyuan Alliance, the Great Song Dynasty has hated the Liao State from top to bottom, but he is also afraid of it, Zhao Zhen is no exception, he is thinking about how to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun all the time, but the repeated defeats of the Liao State make him afraid of the Liao State from the bones.

This mentality is reflected in the cold overseas horse breeding base, he is worried that the Liao State will know about this, he is worried that the Liao State will sabotage their plan, and even worried that the Liao State will send troops to capture Maoren Island, so he has been strictly guarding the secret in the past few years, and never told the courtiers, and even the money spent on shipbuilding is secretly spent from the inner treasury.

Today, when his matter is announced to the public, he will suffer a little bit of gains and losses, regretting that he should not have held today's meeting, and he is still afraid of Liao in his bones.

Fan Ning knew his mentality very well, so he smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the three investigations are all participated by a small number of people, so the news can be blocked, this time a large number of troops and craftsmen expedition, once they return in a few months, the news will definitely spread completely, and then the Liao State will also know that there is only a difference of more than half a year between now and then, and the Liao State will not be able to react in this half a year, all that can be done is to protest against the Great Song Dynasty, or threaten the Great Song Dynasty with the abolition of the Tanyuan Alliance, but if the Liao State really has the ability to destroy the Great Song Dynasty's plan, it will take at least five to ten years to prepare." , this is the reason why Weichen insisted that His Majesty develop a strong naval army, at least for now, His Majesty does not have to worry. ”

Fan Ning's words made Zhao Zhen feel a little relieved, thinking about it, in a short period of time, the Liao people are unable to make effective countermeasures, since they have decided to do it, why bother looking ahead, suffering from gains and losses, you can't be afraid of the wicked killing you, you don't dare to sharpen the knife, that's what the weak think.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen said to Fan Ning again: "Although you are young, you are calm, rational, full of wisdom, and loyal to me. ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhen took out a sharp short sword, put it on the imperial case, and said in a deep voice: "This is the sword of the Son of Heaven that I admire, this sword is like my own presence, this expedition, no matter who it is, but there is a heart of disobedience, you can cut it with a sword, no matter what, but there is an argument, you can decide with this sword." ”

Fan Ning was secretly surprised, it turned out that Zhao Zhen still didn't trust Zhao Zongshi very much, so he gave Shang Fang Tianzi to himself.

He took the sword, raised his hands above his head, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty's trust cannot be repaid even if the minister's liver and brain are ruined!" ”

"Go ahead! I wish you all a smooth journey. ”

.........

After going south from Zhu Pei, Fan Ning began to make preparations before departure, Xiaodong temporarily sent back to Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion, and all the valuable items in the mansion were also packed and handed over to Zhu Yuanfeng for safekeeping, and an old housekeeper was invited from Zhu's mansion to look after the house for him.

Coming out of the palace, Fan Ning came directly to Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion, his mansion has been cleaned up, he currently lives in Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion, and in Zhu Yuanfeng's back house, he has his own courtyard.

Fan Ning put the sword of Shang Fang Tianzi in his luggage, and then came to find Zhu Yuanfeng, as soon as he went out, he met his eldest grandson Zhu Lin, Zhu Lin was about twenty-three or four years old, and he did not pass the exam, so he followed his grandfather to do business, he is currently in charge of Zhu Yuanfeng's purchase of three manors, this time Zhu Yuanfeng wanted to open up overseas interests, so he called Zhu Lin, who ran a manor in Fengqiu County, back to the capital, and prepared to follow Fan Ning to go to sea together.

Zhu Lin has a very gentle and easy-going personality, and even a little weak, which Zhu Yuanfeng doesn't like very much, and putting him overseas is also a little bit of an idea to hone his will.

"Youwen, is your grandfather here?"

"Grandfather is here! He heard that the virtuous brother had returned, and he specially asked me to invite you over. ”

Fan Ning nodded, and followed Zhu Lin to walk quickly towards Zhu Yuanfeng's courtyard.

Walking into the yard, I saw Zhu Yuanfeng sitting on a rockery, breaking the steamed buns in his hand to feed the fish, looking a little worried.

"What is the old man worried about?" Fanning stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Some troubles within the clan!" ”

He glanced at Fan Ning, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Zhu Yuanjun's fourth grandson Zhu Huan, who was studying in Taixue, and several Tai students came to Zhu Lou to drink and eat, but after returning home, he was beaten by his grandfather, and I heard that even his arm was broken, Zhu Yuanjun made a rule, his children and grandchildren are not allowed to step into Zhu Lou. ”

Fan Ning was stunned, the children of the Zhu family were not allowed to step into the Zhu Building, which was strange.

Next to him, Zhu Lin explained: "Zhu Lou was founded by my grandfather, and it has nothing to do with the family. ”

Only then did Fan Ning understand that it was estimated that it was because of Zhu Pei that Zhu Yuanjun became angry with Zhu Yuanfeng, and the contradiction between the two brothers intensified.

"Old man, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, don't worry about this kind of thing, listen to my good news."

Zhu Yuanfeng had to temporarily put aside the family's worries, and asked with a smile: "The morning meeting has spread in the city, you can say it!" I have some good news. ”

"The Son of Heaven publicly praised the old man for his loyalty and patriotism, and twice promised to safeguard your interests."

Zhu Yuanfeng was a little more interested in interests, and asked with a smile: "How does the Son of Heaven plan to protect my interests?" ”

"The first one is to confer knighthoods, I think at least the county dukes."

The title of the Zhu family is currently awarded to the eldest son Zhu Yuanfu, named the Duke of Wujiang County, Zhu Yuanjun is an official position, and Zhu Yuanfeng is a concubine, except for getting part of the family property, there is nothing else, and now the Son of Heaven has promised to give him the title, which makes him quite happy.

"What else?" Zhu Yuanfeng asked with a smile again.

"And then there's the ranch priority!"

"Do you want me to subscribe, or do you want to reward me directly?"

Fanning smiled and said: "It's all subscriptions, but you can deduct some of the stallions' expenses, I recommend buying islands, there are many small islands near Maoren Island, and they can also form pastures, and have an independent island, I think it's more convenient." ”

Zhu Yuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this later!" Let's go and check it out, when do you leave? ”

"You have to go south early the day after tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to go, and Youwen will start to prepare."

Zhu Lin nodded, he had already told his wife and children about it, and he needed to spend more time with his wife and children in the past two days.

Zhu Yuanfeng said to Fan Ning again: "Then what can I do for you?" ”

Fan Ning said with a smile: "I heard that the old man has collected a lot of sharp famous swords, and he should bring one for me and Youwen each for self-defense." ”

Zhu Yuanfeng smiled dumbly, "I have a total of two swords, one is called the Full Moon Sword, and the other is called the Seven Star Sword, both of which are cast by Zhou Shizong Chai Rong Famous Craftsmen, which are extremely sharp, then give them to you, you can pick them yourself!" ”

Fan Ning was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The Full Moon Sword is a brother, naturally it will return to Youwen, I will take the Seven Star Sword!" ”

Zhu Lin had no interest in the sword, so he agreed casually, Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said nothing, in fact, in terms of sharpness, the seven-star sword should be sharper, only because the hilt of the full moon sword is made of jade, which is more precious, so it is ranked first, but Zhu Yuanfeng has regarded Fan Ning as his grandson-in-law, and he is not partial to him, since Fan Ning likes the seven-star sword, then give it to him.

.........

The reason why Fan Ning wanted a sword was mainly to cover up the existence of the Son of Heaven Sword to avoid some unnecessary suspicions, and he would not show the Son of Heaven Sword unless he had to.

Fan Ning then came to the Strange Stone Pavilion on Shuyuan Street, he came to Xu Qing and prepared to take him to sea, which was also arranged by Zhu Pei, and he must have a capable bodyguard.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the second uncle loudly reprimanding Mingren and Mingli, Mingren and Mingli returned to the capital last year, the two of them were too active, they had money in their hands, and they wanted to go to other businesses, the second uncle wanted them to buy a house in the capital, but they refused, and the father and son quarreled for three days.

"You two rabbits, where did you get the money? Explain to Lao Tzu? Fan Tiege stood downstairs, his hands on his hips, and he was looking up at his two sons who were hiding upstairs.

"Second uncle, what's wrong?"

When Fan Tiege saw Fan Ning, he sighed and said: "I took a fancy to two small houses in the inner city of three acres for the two rabbit cubs, the price is 10,000 yuan, although the price is not very cheap, but the location is very good, I said that I will pay today to change the deed, but these two little rabbit cubs told me that their money is invested, do you say let me be in a hurry?" ”

Fan Ning smiled: "Second uncle, don't worry, I'll persuade them!" ”

Fanning walked up to the second floor, only to see Mingren and Mingli sitting on the floor playing with Tian Huangshi, they are nineteen years old this year, tall and thin, but their appearance has grown, they can already be recognized, Mingren is a lion's head nose, Mingli is an eagle hook nose, the difference is more obvious.

"I said, what have you been doing lately?" Fanning asked with a smile.

The two hurriedly pulled Fan Ning over, and Mingren said with a mysterious expression: "Little official, I won't tell you, we have been doing business recently!" ”

Fanning was taken aback, he resolutely did not touch the securities business, these two people actually started, which is very in line with their character, they like to take risks to earn high profits, but Fanning still doesn't want them to do business, no matter how smart they are, they can't withstand the power of capital.

"That thing is very risky, I did it once with Master Zhu San, and I realized that the water in it is very deep."

"We also started with Zhu Sanye, and we made a vote with him last year, and each person earned 4,000 taels of silver, a profit of 40%! At the beginning of this year, we bought a batch of tea at a low price, and now we have a profit of 30%, and we will wait for another month to sell, and it is estimated that we can make another 10%. ”

Fan Ning didn't want the two of them to indulge in securities trading, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm about to go to sea, are you interested in going with me?" ”

Akihito and Mingli glanced at each other and said in unison, "Well, the rumors are true!" ”

"Of course it's true, I'm going to go south the day after tomorrow, and I lack a few followers, how about it, are you interested?"

Akihito and Mingli are both people who carve adventure into their bones, and they can buy it again next year, and go out to occupy the ranch, I'm afraid it's this once in their lives, and the two agreed one after another, "Go to sea!" To the sea, of course! ”

"Since you want to go to sea, you have to listen to my conditions, you give all the money to your father, sell it today, and go with me early the day after tomorrow."

The two understood what Fanning meant, hesitated for a long time, and had to agree, in their words, the money can be earned slowly, but the opportunity to go to Japan is this one.
