Fan Xian's chopsticks were pulled on the plate, and he picked out a piece of sesame oil beef and spread it on the white rice, slowly put it into his lips, chewed it carefully, tasted it, and still ignored Ming Qingda who was kneeling on the side.

Ming Qingda is not a simple corner, and the meaning of this kneeling is definitely not so simple.

Fan Xian needed time to think.

After he finished thinking, he gently put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Old man Ming, you are much older than me, how can you afford this?"

Lord Qincha's hands were weak, but Ming Qingda had to stand up.

The conversation between officials and businessmen began very calmly and calmly, Fan Xian looked at him and said, "What is the old man going to explain?"

What kind of explanation can be exchanged for the lives of Fan Xian's subordinates? How can Fan Xian be willing to let go of the Ming family? Ming Qingda is not clear, and he doesn't need to be clear, what he needs is a qiē, but Fan Xian can temporarily let go of the Ming family and exchange the necessary buffer time for the family and Kyoto, and now the situation is too uncertain, even if he is ready to make a wall grass, he must know where the wind is coming from...... He was just begging for his posture to be able to let go of Chincha-sama's hand a little, to make Chincha-sama believe in himself, and he also had a strong desire to fall to his side.

Fan Xian didn't wait for the scheming old man Ming to reply, and said: "You are not sincere, so it doesn't matter if you are sincere." ”

Ming Qingda's face was calm, but he sighed and said, "Lord Qincha can't believe me. ”

"I can't trust you. Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "You can't believe you yourself, you have been in that boat for too long, and you have to come down...... Hard. You should know this very well, if you are still on that ship, the rest of the ship will always keep you safe, and if you get to the captain's ship, what will you do if you leave the goods on the original ship?"

Naturally, this product is not the other goods, Ming Qingda also knows this in his heart, listening to Fan Xian's words, knowing that it is impossible to convince this young Lord Qincha, with a trace of tiredness, he begged self-deprecatingly: "Please show me a clear way." ”

Fan Xian's gaze still stayed between the dishes on the table, and after a little thought, he said quietly: "You have a lot of brothers, I heard about it recently...... The Xia Dangjia in the fourth room is also your brother?"

Ming Qingda's face remained unchanged, but his heart began to ache, his Ming family had followed Fan Xian's enemies for too long, if Fan Xian really believed that the Ming family was willing to fall to him, unless he could be sure that the Ming family was completely in control, and Xia Qifei was obviously a pawn used by Fan Xian to control the Ming family, and Fan Xian would not accept this agreement if he changed anyone else.

Fan Xian's words undoubtedly gave his own conditions, but this condition, Ming Qingda couldn't accept it no matter what, and regardless of the fact that Ming Qingda couldn't let go of his family business, just thinking of Xia Qifei's cold eyes, and the miserable whip marks under his clothes, his heart began to entangle.

In the current situation, it is the Supervision Yuan that is attacking, and the Ming family is defending, and the Ming family is retreating step by step.

It was only at this time that Ming Qingda discovered that Ming Qian, a seemingly young Lord Qincha, was so conservative and cautious in his bones, and he was unmoved in the face of such a big temptation he gave.

It was only at this time that he discovered that what Fan Xian wanted was far more than he could give, more than 400,000 taels, not only the Ming family's secret cooperation in Jiangnan from now on, but a kind of arrogance and arrogance, and the extravagance of controlling the production and sales of the inner treasury.

"Please give me a way to live. Ming Qingda said with a wry smile, he was talking about Minglu before, but now he can only talk about the way of life, "If the last four standards continue like this, tens of thousands of children in the clan, as well as countless people hired around, I am afraid that the family will not be able to open the pot next year." ”

"The Ming family is not short of silver. ”

Fan Xian looked at the master of the Ming family in front of him, and he appreciated the other party more and more in his heart, obviously he wanted to threaten himself, but what he said was so gentle and humble, not harsh at all, but full of subdued and moisturized: "The last four standards for staying for a while...... Just when your Ming family spit back the silver they swallowed a few years ago. ”

He tilted his head slightly, squinted at Ming Qingda, who was a little depressed, and kept guessing the plan in the heart of the master of the Ming family, and said: "You should know the past of this official, and I don't appreciate your methods of selling things in the past years." Of course, this official is not an unreasonable bandit, as long as you do things safely, this official will naturally be more secure. ”

The so-called safety is naturally talking about last night's incident.

Fan Xian knocked on the edge of the porcelain plate with the tip of the chopsticks, making a crisp sound of clanging bells, and finally said: "Holding the bowl to spit out the pearls, and the chopsticks to the phoenix nodding, eating eighty percent full, and taking it away if you can't finish eating...... Being a person and doing things is the same as eating, the posture should be beautiful, and you must know how to be measured, which is very good. ”

Ming Qingda knew that it was impossible to make any more progress in front of this Lord Qincha, and when he got Fan Xian's last words, he relaxed a little in his heart, although he couldn't believe it all, but he absolutely believed that Fan Xian did not have the idea of forcing the Ming family to collapse, and the other party always wanted to control the Ming family, not destroy it.

And to control the huge Ming family...... Xia Qifei can't do it, his mother can't do it, only himself, Ming Qingda has this self-confidence, so he will definitely vomit blood because of the last four standards for a while, but he understands in his heart that in the future, he will still have to discuss with Lord Qincha.

Businessmen are the least afraid to negotiate, and bargaining is their forte.

Ming Qingda bowed to Fan Xian very respectfully and withdrew.

Looking at the contemporary master of the Ming family slumping slightly and showing his old back, Fan Xian once again gently rested his chopsticks on the table, squinting slightly, until this moment, he still couldn't see the depth of Ming Qingda.

The meaning of the previous kneeling represents too rich, admitting defeat, asking for peace, surrendering sincerity, and making amends for last night's incidents? If the Ming family really intends to fall to themselves, then today's open and upright occasion in Neku is the best place to show their hearts...... The problem is that Fan Xian didn't believe that this old man would surrender willingly, his cards had not been exhausted at all, and the Ming family was not exhausted. The big tree that is accustomed to standing on the other side of the river wants to be uprooted and transplanted to this side of the river, and the painful price that must be experienced should not be what the Ming family is willing to pay at this time.

Why would the other party put on such a humble posture? There is still an old lady above him, which side the Ming family wants to throw into, this kind of major matter that is related to the future of tens of thousands of people in the whole clan, Ming Qingda should not have the ability to make an arbitrary decision.

And this kneeling, kneeling is not secret, someone should have seen it, and it will spread soon. Fan Xian's eyes narrowed even more thinly, is the other party preparing to play the pathos card? In this world where there has not yet been a character like Ah Bian, pathos may be a feasible move, but he just deliberately kneels down in front of everyone, how sad can this be?

If it is replaced by another official, in the face of Ming Qingda's tendency, he will definitely be secretly happy in his heart, only Fan Xian does not think so, because as Ming Qingda expected, he wants too many things, which are not given by the Ming family, and he has been preparing for this matter for a long time, he has the confidence to eat the Ming family, instead of accepting the Ming family's surrender.

Since Fan Xian can eat the Ming family at any time, why should he bargain with the Ming family to get the other party's surrender?

It's not incompetent, it's not impossible, it's really disdainful.

――――――――――――――――――― breeze crosses the door, blowing away the residual aroma of food in the courtyard of the Neiku mansion, blowing away the smell of firecrackers, only the solemn atmosphere is always blowing, the courtyard is full of tension, like a thousand years of ice, like a boulder at the bottom of the river, chūnrìchūn is difficult to melt in the wind, and the waves of the river are difficult to move.

The voice of the official of the transport department in charge of the salute was already hoarse, not because he said too much, not because he drank too little water, but because he was nervous.

The big businessmen living along the corridors of A and B have long been unable to sit still, standing in the high threshold of the door through the hollow lattice, staring nervously outside.

In the afternoon, it was the bidding of the four bids after the inner library, and after two rounds of bidding, no one applauded anymore, and no one even wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. The Sun family in Quanzhou, who was frightened away by the Ming family in the morning, listened to the price with a miserable face, looked out with blank eyes, and was frightened by the two madmen again, and all the businessmen felt that their eyes were wide open today, and they were also frightened.

That's silver, that's silver! Why did the Ming family in room A and the Xia family in room B dare to throw them out like that? Could it be that in their eyes, there is no difference between those thick silver tickets and waste paper!

Xiong Bailing of the Lingnan Xiong family looked out with red eyes, a little unable to believe his ears, and said to the tent man next to him: "Did the singer report a mistake just now?"

The account clerk of the Xiong family wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "How can the figures calculated by the flower hall be wrong...... On this day, grandpa, Xia Dang's family killed several brothers yesterday, and today he began to go crazy...... This Ming family actually went crazy too! Master Ming is not a robber. ”

Xiong Bailing's saliva was so nervous that he didn't have time to swallow it, he choked in the middle and almost stumbled, snatched the teacup from a subordinate with his backhand and poured it down, and scolded in a low voice: "Xia Qifei is Ming Laoqi, I think it was the two brothers who did the real fire...... The brothers are on the wall, it is really exciting, and the Ming family seems to be a little crazy in their bones. ”

Not only did the voice of the singer tremble, but the Jiangnan giants kept sweating, and even the three adults sitting in the main hall began to get nervous at this time.

Listening to the second round of bidding, Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng glanced at each other, their faces became pale, and the two of them never thought that the last four consecutive bids of the Inner Library bid were coaxed to ...... Such a terrifying state!

For Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng, the Ming family's income has decreased, and the disgraceful silver sent by Jiangnan to Beijing will naturally be less...... Too much, thinking of this, the two of them stared at Fan Xian with a little resentment.

Although Fan Xian kept his facial expression calm with a strong mind, if there were careful people, he could still see that the cuffs of Lord Qincha's purple official uniform were a little trembling, his thin and delicate lips were a little tight, and his earlobes were slightly red.

After all, scenes like this are rare. Emperor Qingguo is known as the richest person in the world, but Fan Xian bets that Emperor Qingguo, who has never entered the treasury of the household, has never seen so many silver tickets floating in the sky with the hoarse and trembling voice of the singer!

One thousand one and a half million taels of silver!

Ten years after the founding of the Qing State, all the financial taxes of the whole country will only add up to 10 million taels! Even if it is the Qing State that has now entered the extreme prosperity, such a large amount of silver is still an incredible number, and if this more than 10 million taels of silver is used to buy dead soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, it is enough to wipe out those small princes and small states around Dongyi City with a wave of his hand, and it is enough to become the hegemon of one side!

How many beauties can be exchanged for such a large amount of silver? How many war horses and weapons can be built? If all of them are invested in the people's livelihood, how many miles of embankments can be built? How many pots of porridge can be cooked? How many halls can be opened, how many people can be saved? and ...... If they were all replaced with silver ingots, how many people would be crushed?

The five million taels of silver in the morning was already the highest price in the history of the Inner Treasury, and in the afternoon, it easily broke the record, especially in the second round of bidding, the Ming family shouted out the price of breaking 10 million taels, which not only broke the record, but broke through everyone's psychological defense.

The reason for this result is, of course, due to the current internal and external difficulties that the Ming family is in, as well as a large amount of real money and silver borrowed by Fan Xian from the Northern Qi Emperor - the Ming family must grab this standard, but Xia Qifei has the ability to hedge, and all kinds of factors are added together to create such a terrifying figure.

Fan Xian took a sip of herbal tea, forcibly suppressed the feelings in his heart, and made a very secret gesture.

That's it, that's it, take a break, take a break.

............ It was only at this time that Fan Xian gradually understood Ming Qingda's thoughts, His Majesty's thoughts, and many people's thoughts.

When Ming Qingda won the bid, he followed Fan Xian's plan very obediently, on the one hand, he was under pressure from Xinyang, and on the other hand, his ideas were a little mysterious. The left and right are just sending silver, shouting that the price is low, and part of the silver earned will be handed over to Xinyang. If the price is high, it is equivalent to giving the silver to the inner treasury...... It is equivalent to giving it to His Majesty Xià and Fan Xian.

Ming Qingda saw things very accurately, he saw that the court needed his own silver, so he simply came ruthlessly, and he was eager to smash half of his family business, so that he won the bid again, and it was in line with Fan Xian's intentions, and he didn't offend any of the people on both sides.

It's just a pity that I offended the money, so much real money, and I don't know how many years it will take the Ming family to recover. The so-called spending money to eliminate the disaster, the money that the Ming family used to eliminate the disaster this time is really a bloody investment.

In Fan Xian's view, the strength of the Ming family in terms of economy is really too big to the point of being too terrifying, such a kind of existence, Emperor Qingguo will definitely not look at them sitting big, or weakening the other party, or destroying the other party.

This is the emperor's real intention of letting Fan Xian go to Jiangnan.

And, Ming Qingda also clearly grasped this intention.

It's just that Shen Wansan was still dead back then, and the Ming family ...... Can you survive? This is a later thing, and Fan Xian has no way to fully control it, but Fan Xian feels very useful to the Ming family's watch, so he will make gestures to make Xia Qifei no longer bid.

It's not that the small peasant consciousness is troublesome, nor is it pity, but Fan Xian knows that Old Man Ming's play is definitely not finished, and 11.5 million taels of silver is enough, Fan Xian doesn't want to let the government and the opposition talk too much and bring too many negative comments to himself.

――――――――――――――――― saw that the robbers in Room B stopped shouting, and everyone, including officials and businessmen, did not watch the show or watch the regret and anger of the audience, but all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling relieved.

This afternoon's bidding was too terrifying, the number was too sensitive, the businessmen did not want something bad to happen, and the officials did not want the situation to be dragged to the outbreak of Cheng Dù.

The officials of the joint examination of the household department and the treasury of the flower hall began to carry out intense audit work, and finally confirmed the standard, and wrote the bottom book carefully and nervously with a red pen and handed it over to the front office.

The singing official walked to the stone steps, swallowed his saliva and moistened his hoarse and hot throat, and said in a trembling voice: "Xingdongnan Road and Hailu are a square of goods, four standards and even standards, A and one room, and the Ming family, 11.5 million taels...... Gotta be!"

No one applauded, no one was in an uproar, everyone was eager to flee from the Neku mansion as soon as possible.

"Father!

At this moment, an exclamation came from the first room of A, which was closest to the main hall.

For a while, everyone stood up from their chairs in shock, looking at that side, not knowing what happened to the Ming family.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Someone! Someone...... Come and save people!"

In the first room of A, there was a panicked cry for help from Young Master Ming Lanshi, a chaotic voice, and the officials hurriedly pushed the door in, only to find that the original master of the Ming family, Ming Qingda, was already fainting on the ground!

Regardless of the officials and businessmen, they all thought that they knew what was going on, and everyone thought that the master of the Ming family, oppressed by the inside and outside, forcibly robbed the four consecutive standards, but was forced to mark the sky-high price, and when he thought that the Ming family might be declining because of this sky-high price, the old man Ming was in a hurry, and he fell unconscious.

Everyone knew who the Ming family was forced into today's miserable situation, so everyone in the courtyard subconsciously turned to Lord Qincha standing on the stone steps.

Fan Xian didn't lie much, squinted his eyes and reprimanded: "What's the panic? Hurry up and seal the warehouse, deposit the silver, and when the procedure is over, hurry up and send Old Man Ming to seek medical treatment!"

There is a whole set of procedures for opening and closing the door in the inner library, and there are a lot of silver tickets in the house, so it took some time, and the old man Ming, who had been unconscious, was carried out, and moved into the Ming family's carriage that Fan Xian specially allowed to drive to the door, and went straight to the medical shop.

............ No one expected that the lively Inner Library bidding, after setting several records in a row and causing countless dangers, would end so bleakly.

Looking at the carriage of the Ming family, thinking of the owner of the Ming family, whose life and death were unknown, the merchants in Jiangnan couldn't help but sigh, and there was a feeling of sadness in their hearts.

The Ming family retired first, and the merchants also withdrew from the inner library house after being inspected, and the rest were all officials and began to carry out the final finishing work of the inner library.

Since it is a business of selling money, the work of counting forty percent of the fixed silver bills is the most critical.

The three big men stood in the flower hall, watching the officials of the household department and the transfer department register and seal.

Fan Xian looked at the Ming family's last fixed silver of up to four million taels, and at the bottom was sandwiched a thick stack of silver tickets issued by China Merchants Bank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that the matter had finally been done.

Originally, in the plan, the last four consecutive standards forced the Ming family to use the cash ticket issued by China Merchants Bank, and Fan Xian had to deliberately embarrass it, after all, the credit of China Merchants is not as good as the world, and when the time comes, Huang Gonggong and Guo Zheng will definitely speak for the Ming family, so that Fan Xian can pick himself cleaner.

It's just that I didn't expect Ming Qingda to act so neatly, so Fan Xian was lazy and smeared the pulp on the small place, but in the end, Ming Qingda fainted...... "Pretend, you continue to pretend." ”

Fan Xian sneered in his heart, but with sympathy on his face, he sighed to Gonggong Huang beside him: "The Ming family won the bid with difficulty, but the old man Ming is still old, and he can't help such a surprise, but faints, this happy event should not become a funeral." ”

Huang Gonggong, who was rubbing his fingers, drooling at the silver ticket, and was still a little nervous, heard Lord Qincha's words, and almost broke his fingers in a daze, and wanted to scold when he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to scold, thinking to himself, how can there be a guy like you who still talks cool things when he plays with people?

Huang Gonggong snorted angrily and didn't say anything, but Guo Zheng said with a smile: "This year's internal treasury input is eighty percent more than in previous years, and this matter is reported back to Kyoto, and His Majesty will definitely reward Lord Xiao Fan more. ”

With Fan Xian's identity and the power he now holds, it is a sure thing to be crowned the king and marquis, and he didn't want to listen to Guo Zheng's sycophancy, so he sneered and said: "It all depends on your lords, and it also depends on the merchants in Jiangnan to sympathize with the court, and I would rather lose my blood to supplement the inner treasury...... As for the official, in this matter, it has no role. ”

Guo Zheng was suffocated, thinking that the Ming family was about to take care of their pants today, and they weren't forced by you? He snorted coldly, and stopped talking, just kept scolding in his heart: "Pretend, tell you to continue pretending!"
