Fan Xian hurriedly went to help, but the shopkeeper insisted on kneeling and kowtowing, before he got up and said with emotion: "It turned out to be the future owner, this head is going to kowtow no matter what, not to mention that the adult is still the main envoy of the mission, the villain is in a foreign country, and he just wants to bow to the adults in his hometown on weekdays, but he has nowhere to go." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly woke up, thinking that he had mentioned some taboo names in front of this adult from the south, and couldn't help asking, "Master Fan, why did you think of coming to the small shop to have a look?"

After all, the Northern Qi Dynasty is far away from the Emperor of Nanqing, so the businessmen here are bolder, so they still keep the old signboards, and keep talking about the old owners they are talking about. Fan Xian looked at his expression and understood that the other party was afraid that these words would be transmitted back to Kyoto and offend the royal family, who now controlled the entire Gyeongwai sales business.

He smiled and said that he wanted to pick a few delicate styles of glass wine utensils that were not ordinary colors.

The shopkeeper was curious: "What is this for?" He originally thought that Master Fan was just taking the opportunity of the envoy to check out the business he would take care of in the future, but how did he know that the other party was really going to buy glass products.

Lin Jing explained a few words, and the shopkeeper hurriedly called out the guys, and a few neat guys listened to the instructions, and rushed into the warehouse inside, thinking that the real high-end goods were not placed in the front store. While waiting, Fan Xian and the shopkeeper began to chat, and the shopkeeper knew what the adult wanted to know, so he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest. The number of glass products exported from Nanqing to Beiyuan over the years was approximated.

It's just a rough number, though. But Fan Xian was still a little surprised, there was only this Nanqing glass workshop in Beijing, and the annual income was very terrible. It is no wonder that with the abundance of Qi country's products, it is now only a tie with Qingguo in terms of financial resources.

The shopkeeper suddenly sighed and said, "But I don't know why in these years, the goods sent from Kyoto are not as good as in previous years, and there is nothing new, so the business is worse." ”

Fan Xian asked, "How much worse is it than when it was at its peak?"

"That's about 30 percent. ”

Fan Xian groaned slightly, knowing where the problem was. After the Ye family was taken over by the inner library, it was under the full control of the eldest princess, even if the crazy woman was a person with great political wisdom and skill, but in the face of these new things such as glass soap, I am afraid that I would still not know why, since the condition of the glass is poor, it must be a problem with the ingredients and processes, and now several Ye shopkeepers in Qingyutang can't operate it themselves, so naturally there is no way to make adjustments.

However, the business is only thirty percent short, and it seems that the eldest princess also knows the importance of these businesses to the economy of Qingguo, and she is not too big to be nonsense, but just follows the practice of previous years.

There is more than enough to keep and not enough to enterprising.

While talking, the young guys had already moved out the most precious glass bottles in the store, Fan Xian picked one up, squinted at the sunlight outside the store, and found that there was no trace of impurities in the glass, which was much better than those glass windows in Kyoto. couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it." ”

The boss hurriedly shouted to the guy to wrap up, but Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "Don't panic." The people did not understand what he meant, but they could only listen to him.

Suddenly, the boss showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and Fan Xian's sharp eyes had already looked at it. He asked, "What's the boss's surname?"

"The villain's surname is Yu. The boss hurriedly responded.

"Qingyutang's apprentice's surname is Yu?" Fan Xian smiled in his heart and said, "Is there anything difficult for Boss Yu?"

The boss smiled bitterly and said, "Master Fan, these glass beats were prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday at the end of the month. ”

Fan Xian was slightly startled, and said: "Could it be that the magnates of Northern Qi ordered a birthday gift for you to enter the palace? ”

Boss Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a big official to be so easy to speak, and quickly explained: "I didn't order it, because the Northern Qi magnates have always known that we always have a few good goods in our store, and then again, this glass bottle is not the most expensive gift now...... It's just that the rules of the inner treasury are set to die, and this month is a thick month according to the usual practice, if the adults take these things, when they report to the south at the end of the month, the amount of silver will be missing a large piece, and I am afraid that the adults in the inner treasury will ......."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Xian also understood what the other party was afraid of, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will naturally pay you." ”

Wang Qinian also laughed and scolded on the side: "Afraid that Neiku will check your account? Don't you know that the person in front of you will be the master of Neiku in the future?"

Boss Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he was thinking in his heart, even if this Master Fan would be the master of Neiku in the future, the problem was that Neku was now in charge of thousands of businesses in the world...... It's not a master.

Suddenly, Fan Xian patted his purse and said with a wry smile: "When I went out to practice Northern Qi, I seemed to have forgotten to bring one thing." Everyone silently understood, thinking that Fan Tisi was the envoy of the mission, and this trip to Northern Qi was naturally a publicly-funded tour, although he had some idle silver on him, where would he prepare so many silver tickets.

Boss Yu continued to wipe his sweat and come up with ideas: "If the adult is on official business, he should naturally report the official account, and the adult will write a list, and I will return the list to Kyoto, which can also be deducted." ”

"That's a good idea. Fan Xian thought in his heart, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared a long time ago, and thought that this Boss Yu was very discerning, and it was estimated that he had seen too much of the envoys' white strips. He brushed and brushed a few lines on the paper, and Boss Yu carefully wrote down the amount of money, and it was Fan Xian's turn to make the payment, but at this time he hesitated, turned around and asked Wang Qinian: "Is there any money in the courtyard?"

Wang Qinian said with a wry smile: "One-third of the finances in the courtyard are drawn in by His Majesty, and two-thirds are drawn by the household department, that is, the old man of your family, my lord, and it has been a little tight in recent years. ”

Fan Xian glanced back at Gundam, thinking that you were following your father, and Huwei was naturally extremely rich. Gundam saw the young master looking at him, and his face was embarrassed. said: "Young master." The old man is in charge of the tiger and the silver money. ”

Fan Xian sighed, looked at Lin Jing and said, "It seems that it is only in the name of Honglu Temple." ”

Lin Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to herself that you are clearly eating Honglu Temple, what else can you say? Anyway, it is all the account of the public middle school, Lin Jing is not distressed, and said funny: "The inner and outer treasury are always inferior to the national treasury. ”

This is extremely true, whether it is the inner treasury managed by the eldest princess at present, or the household department managed by Sinan Bofan, in the final analysis, it is always Qingguo's money. Fan Xian and Lin Jing, the two principal and deputy envoys, signed their names in a dashing manner, glanced at the number of two thousand taels on the paper, and walked out of the door of the glass shop.

A few people didn't follow for a long time, so Boss Yu carefully instructed the guys to hold the precious glass bottles and follow a few adults out of the door, because Fan Xian didn't order them to send them back to the mission. I think it's still useful.

Walking past the toy store that sold nine rings and Xia Rongdao, Fan Xian just glanced at it, his eyes were soft. The previous one was a place where wine was sold, Fan Xian walked in first, and the owner of this shop had already been told by his subordinates, knowing that several high-ranking officials from his hometown were standing at the door to greet him. Good life and respect.

Fan Xian sat on the chair and glanced at it. I found that the wine utensils for this wine are also extremely expensive, but they are far worse than the glass bottles I "bought", beckoning. Let the shopkeeper come forward and ask, "What's the best wine?"

The boss's surname is Sheng, and he conjures up a transparent slender bottle like a trick. The wine in the bottle has an extremely attractive red color, which is rich but not thick.

Fan Xian squinted slightly, and said in surprise: "Wine?"

"Lord Fan really deserves to be a fairy in wine and a fairy in poetry. Boss Sheng had already inquired about the composition of the hometown mission, and said with a flattering smile: "It is grape wine." ”

Took a cup and poured some into it, Fan Xian closed his eyes, shook the cup slightly, leaned under his nose and sniffed. Seeing his style, not only Wang Qinian, a thief who had also been luxurious back then, but even Lin Jing and Boss Sheng were all amazed in their hearts, thinking that Master Fan was really a famous family.

Fan Xian is not a master of wine tasting, he just put the glass on the table beside him, and said, "This wine is ready, and then pick some strong ones and take them out." ”

Boss Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly served them one by one, Fan Xian took a sip in turn, frowning slightly, this is not much different from the kind of wine he drinks on weekdays, the degree is too low, far inferior to the sorghum and Jingzhong tribute wine that Uncle Wuzhu gave himself when he was in Shanzhou.

Seeing that the adults frowned, Boss Sheng asked in a low voice: "Spirits are forbidden to go north, and the adults are more considerate." ”

Fan Xian knew that the other party was not telling the truth, there was nothing in this world that could not be bought with money, most of the powerful people in Northern Qi were rich and noble, and they would never be soft when they spent money, and this boss had to prepare some high-end goods, so he didn't say anything, just shook his head to express dissatisfaction.

Boss Sheng suddenly glanced at him, and then took out two bottles of good wine. Fan Xian frowned slightly, in the previous glance, this seemingly ordinary boss showed an extremely unusual look.

Packed in a small porcelain cup, Fan Xian took a sip, then wrinkled his head tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone thought that this wine tasted bad, and Wang Qinian couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Fan Xiansi took a breath, turned the hot feeling in his throat into a stimulating pleasure, and exclaimed loudly: "Good wine, good wine, what's the name?"

Boss Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Wuliangye." ”

Fan Xian's face remained calm and unchanged, and he praised again: "Good name." He smiled bitterly in his heart and praised, "Ye Qingmei, you were really idle back then." ”

After doing all this, the four officials got up and went out. But when he went out, Fan Xian found that the boss surnamed Sheng glanced at him, thinking of the place he had noticed earlier, Fan Xian paused and let the other three go first, but he turned around and went to the back tent under the leadership of Boss Sheng.

There was no one in the tent, and it was eerily quiet.

As soon as Boss Sheng entered the inner room, he was like a different person, his whole body straightened up, his face was solemn, he bowed to Fan Xian, who was sitting on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Neiku Sheng Huairen, please see my uncle." ”
