"Dismount!"

Zheng Jiu and the others drank with Fang Yuan.

The people had already surrounded Changsun Chong and the others.

Not to mention that they are riding horses, even flies can't fly out.

The horses were frightened and began to become restless, pacing in small spaces.

The faces of Changsun Chong and the others became ugly, they looked at each other, and finally they all hated to get off the horse.

As Fang Yuan said, this is Liaozhou City, not Chang'an City.

In Liaozhou City, Fang Yuan is the largest.

If you tear your face, the identity of the son of their prince is not enough.

And a few of them don't take care of themselves, and it's a shame for them to spread it.

"Fang Thorn Shi is so sure that we will go?"

Eldest Sun Chong frowned, and his face was ugly.

The soldiers guarding the city were arranged in advance to stare at themselves and others, and they appeared so early.

Don't you believe in the human nature of them?

Qin Huaiyu and the others were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Fang Yuan unkindly.

Soldiers can be killed, and today they felt a strong sense of shame from Fang Yuan's body.

They didn't think about escaping at first, but there was no way, it was really not enough money.

Fang Yuan spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and it was too much to prevent them and others from escaping in advance.

"It's just suspicion."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said indifferently.

He was just suspicious, but he didn't expect them to actually run away.

"Just suspicion?"

The eldest grandson snorted coldly, expressing disbelief.

I suspect that there is no need to bring so many state officials with great fanfare, right?

Looking at the dozens of state officials at the scene, I'm afraid they have mobilized all the state officials, right?

Naturally, Changsun Chong didn't know that there were as many as three hundred state officials in Liaozhou.

Qin Huaiyu and the others also expressed their disbelief, and they looked down on Fang Yuan even more in their hearts.

"Hey, brothers, it's me!"

Du He suddenly got out of the carriage and looked at Changsun Chong and the others with a smile.

"Duhe?!"

Changsun Chong and the others were stunned.

Unexpectedly, Du He also appeared in Liaozhou City.

They had agreed to set off together, but when they left, Duhe was gone.

So they didn't wait for Duhe and decided to go.

Unexpectedly, Du He had already arrived in Liaozhou City.

Probably earlier than them.

"Duhe, what do you mean by you?"

Qin Huaiyu felt that Du He's words were wrong, and asked Du He.

"Hee-hee, I betrayed you."

"It was I who told Fang Yuan that they would definitely run away."

Du He said with a smile.

When the State Guest House opened, he was actually there.

But not at the door, but inside the State Guest House, you can see the equipment of the State Guest House.

He was very curious about the soft mattress, the toilet, the hot water at 12 o'clock, the bathtub, the water pipe, etc., so he stayed inside.

After the visit later, when he went out, he saw Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yuan making a bet, he was embarrassed to come out, after all, he had a good relationship with Qin Huaiyu and others.

In the end, when the bet was over, he happened to meet Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan asked him to help watch Qin Huaiyu and the others, and give benefits, so he immediately told Fang Yuan that Qin Huaiyu and the others would run away.

Immediately, there was a situation where the soldiers defending the city blocked the way, and Fang Yuan came so quickly.

"You, you are really my good brother!"

Qin Huaiyu pointed at Du He, so angry that he was almost speechless.

"Duhe, I'm going to fight you!"

"Du He, I'm going to cut off your robe and break off your righteousness!"

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin shouted angrily.

After more than ten years of relationship, this bastard even denounced them.

"Brothers, I don't want to either, but Fang Yuan gave too much."

"Hurry up and pay it back, I can get a hundred percent from you."

Du He didn't feel embarrassed at all, but smiled at Qin Huaiyu and the others.

When Fang Yuan asked him to help look at Qin Huaiyu and the others, the condition offered was that Qin Huaiyu and the others had repaid the money, which meant that there were thirty yuan.

"You, you sold us for an achievement?"

Cheng Chumo was so angry that his nose came out of his nose.

"Ichicheng has thirty runs, can you handle it?"

Du He gave him a blank look and said.

"Well, it doesn't seem to work."

Cheng Chu was stunned and said embarrassedly.

He suddenly felt that thirty times was not impossible.

"Alright, shut up."

"Fang Thorn Shi, what are you going to do with us?"

Eldest Sun Chong interjected, looked at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

Several people seemed to respect the eldest grandson Chong, and they also looked at Fang Yuan one after another.

"I don't want to do anything with you, but I want you to keep your promises."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Take out the bet you just made.

The contract was divided into three parts, one in Qin Huaiyu's hands, one in Fang Yuan's hands, and one in the Thorn History Mansion.

In black and white, it is written very clearly, Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baolin, etc.

"We don't have so much money now, I just went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."

The eldest grandson's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, we went back to Chang'an City to get it for you."

Cheng Chu nodded silently.

Secretly sighing that Changsun Chong is smart.

"Then why did Qin Huaiyu leave with him?"

Fang Yuan smiled and looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.

"I, I'm sending them away."

Qin Huaiyu's face changed, and he said with a squeak.

He sighed in his heart, knowing that Fang Yuan was reminding him of his three-year-old junior brother.

I regret that I was going to be Fang Yuan's junior brother for three years in a daze, which is a shame to say.

How will you live in Chang'an City in the future?

"I see."

"Then you can go."

Fang Yuan came to his senses, then looked at the eldest grandson and smiled at the others.

The eldest grandson Chong and the others were not calm for a moment, and looked at each other and then at Qin Huaiyu.

"But this official wants to remind a few people, if the money doesn't come after a month, I will have these contracts announced in Chang'an City."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

You can't stop them from escaping.

Unless, they don't care about their reputation.

But as sons of the Lord, they cherish their reputation more than anyone else.

The more people in high positions cherish their reputation, which is very different from later generations.

In this day and age, many people regard fame as something as important as life.

"I, I suddenly feel that there is no need to leave, we can find someone to borrow money."

Cheng Chumo suddenly said.

"Who can you borrow money from?"

Yu Chi Baolin gave him a blank look and said speechlessly.

Cowardice, it's really cowardice, and I'm afraid of announcing it in Chang'an City.

At most, it's just a beating by my own father, and it won't be very hard anyway.

"Find, find Du Miaoyan!"

A figure flashed in Cheng Chumo's mind.

That's right, it's Du Miaoyan, he is the young master of the royal trading house, and he must be rich.

In Liaozhou City, they only know Du Miaoyan, as long as Du Miaoyan lends them money.

Cheng Chumo is really afraid of his father, when he beats someone, he feels the same as killing the enemy, he can't see half his life after a fat beating, he never dares to let his father know.

"Like, okay?"

Yu Chi Baolin looked at Changsun Chong and said.

Instead of being exposed by Fang Yuan, it is better to borrow money from Du Miaoyan.

For everyone's sake, Du Miaoyan will not refuse to borrow money, right?

"Fang Tingshi, do you hear that, please give way."

Eldest Sun Chong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

It is definitely not good to leave Qin Huaiyu here.

And really as Fang Yuan said, the contract will be announced in Chang'an City, what face do they have?

"Please take care of yourself."

Fang Yuan didn't stop him, and smiled indifferently.

The eldest grandson exchanged glances with a few people, got on the horse and left, ready to leave.

"Hey, brothers, wait for me."

Du He's eyes rolled and he stepped forward and said.

He was worried that Changsun Chong and the others would leave secretly, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get his hands on Thirty Guan.

"Don't wait, let's go!"

The eldest grandson rushed and rode away.

Qin Huaiyu also followed and went back to the city.

"Fang Yuan, lend me a horse."

"Brothers, wait for me, wait for me."

Duhe shouted.

After getting on Zheng Jiu's horse, he rushed back.

Zheng Jiu looked at the back of Du He leaving, and then looked at Fang Yuan.

"You just have to ask for it to come back."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

He immediately beckoned to the captain of the city guard.

He was told not to let these people go without his own orders.

The sons of Guogong have a great relationship behind them, and they can't just let them leave.

However, how to use these relationships has not yet been figured out, but it is very necessary to keep them in Liaozhou City first.

The other side.

Du He quickly caught up with Changsun Chong and the others.

"Brothers, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Didn't you go to my sister to borrow money, wait for me."

Du He said with a smile.

"Duhe, you are such a bastard, Lao Tzu has lost his eyes!"

Qin Huaiyu was the first to speak.

It's all Du He's to blame, otherwise his plan would have worked.

It's a pity that it's just a little bit off, it's just a little bit off.

"Huaiyu, I'm saving you."

"Think about it, in case Fang Yuan really spreads yours in Chang'an City, it's not you who are disgraced?"

Du He said with a grin.

"So, we have to thank you, right?"

The eldest grandson raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Du He said also has some truth.

They only thought about leaving, and Fang Yuan couldn't target them if they left Liaozhou City.

But he didn't expect that even if he left Chang'an City, Fang Yuan could also find them.

After all, people know their own situation, and the Mansion of the Duke of State is in Chang'an City, and they will know if they ask a little.

"That's not necessary, after all, we're all good brothers."

Duhe patted his chest and said.

Seeing this, Changsun Chong and the others seemed to have wronged Du He, and slowly slowed down.

"Since you are a good brother, how about the thirty yuan of remuneration you got from Fang Yuan to be exempted from the arrears of our brothers?"

Qin Huaiyu's eyes rolled and he proposed.

"Yes, yes, I think so, we are all good brothers."

Cheng Chumo was the first to second, and nodded again and again.

"Yes, good brother."

Yu Chi Baolin and Changsun Chong also nodded.

"Qin Huaiyu, you should make a face."

"That's thirty, not thirty, hello brother, you give it to me."

Du He rolled his eyes at Qin Huaiyu and said speechlessly.

"It's okay brother, you're such a good brother?"

"Don't say thirty times, even three hundred times when you are in trouble, I will give it to you!"

Qin Huaiyu's face flushed and said loudly.

Changsun Chong and the others immediately looked at Qin Huaiyu with disdain in their eyes.

"You don't believe me?!"

Qin Huaiyu's face turned even redder and said loudly.

"Letter, Huai Yuyi Bo Yuntian!"

Changsun Chong and the others immediately spoke, and they all looked at Du He.

"Cut, you don't believe me."

"Why don't I let my sister borrow 300 yuan from you separately, and then you can help me again?"

Du He rolled his eyes, showing disbelief.

"Duhe, break off the relationship."

"Du He, cut off your robe and cut off righteousness!"

"Duhe, we're not good brothers anymore!"

Qin Huaiyu spoke first, and then quickly left.

Immediately, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others also left their arrogances.

"Hey, good brother, wait for me."

Du He hurriedly caught up.

Soon, everyone came to the Royal Merchant House and found Du Miaoyan.

"Three hundred, I won't be able to get it for a while."

Du Miaoyan didn't say no, not borrowing.

It's just that three hundred is not a small number, and she really doesn't have it now.

During the Chinese New Year, all the money earned by the Royal Commercial House was handed over to Li Shimin.

It's just the beginning of the year, and it's time to use money, and there is not so much money for a while.

"No, we don't have to be three hundred, we. It only takes 120 runs. ”

Eldest Sun Chong counted slightly, and they were still short of one hundred and twenty runs.

"One hundred and twenty, you wait."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and asked people to go down and count how much money was left in the house.

Soon, news came back from the account office that there were still enough for one hundred and twenty in the house.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong and the others were all relieved.

"The money from the Royal Comptoir is not mine, you can borrow it and remember to repay it."

Du Miaoyan reminded.

Essentially, he was just doing things for the emperor.

"Rest assured, we understand."

The eldest grandson glanced at each other and nodded solemnly.

They knew that the Royal Commercial House was managed by Du Miaoyan.

And even if it is Du Miaoyan's money, they will pay it back.

"Sister, since it's not your money, isn't it a little interest?"

Du He whispered to the side.

"Duhe, you're still not human?"

"Our brotherhood for more than ten years has been in vain!"

Qin Huaiyu was so angry that he stood up and wanted to walk towards Du He.

"Alas, stop, do you want to ask my sister to borrow money?"

"You said we weren't brothers, but now we're brothers?"

Du He said calmly.

He sat next to Du Miaoyan and didn't panic at all.

"You, you bastard!"

Qin Huaiyu could only sit down.

When I catch up with your sister, I'll let you know when my brother-in-law's love is.

"Alright, don't make a fuss."

"You bring your money, let's go find Fang Yuan."

Du Miaoyan got up and said.

As he spoke, he walked outside.

"Miaoyan, you don't bring money?"

The eldest grandson Chong followed, asking worriedly.

"You can just bring it."

"I have to reconcile the tea account with Fang Yuan every six months, just tell him to give it when the time comes."

Du Miaoyan said as she walked.

She thought just now that Changsun Chong and the others were going to borrow three hundred guan, so she said that there was no money in the account room, and she didn't say that she would pay it back at that time, because three hundred guan was not a small amount, and she was not good at transferring it all to her head, and Fang Yuan was not good at interceding.

But after the sharp reduction to one hundred and twenty runs, Du Miaoyan felt that it didn't matter, Fang Yuan definitely didn't have anything to say, and he would give himself this face.

"The account of the tea?"

"Tea can't be invented by Fang Yuan, right?"

The eldest grandson exclaimed.

Tea is known to be sold by the Royal Merchant House.

But there are also some high-level executives who know some insider information and know that the Royal Comptoir is working with others.

Changsun Chong and the others are all sons of Guogong and know some things that others don't know, but they don't know much.

I only know that the two base camps of tea are in Liaozhou and Chang'an City, and now I heard that I want to settle the account of tea with Fang Yuan, Changsun Chong immediately thought that tea was not invented by Fang Yuan?

"Yes."

"Actually, he also invented fine salt."

Du Miaoyan said indifferently.

She felt the need to tell a few people how good Fang Yuan was.

The man she Du Miaoyan chose could not be a man who repeatedly did nothing.

"What?!"

Changsun Chong was shocked.

Qin Huaiyu was shocked.

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were also shocked.

Several people were shocked, frozen in place, their faces full of disbelief.

In the past, tea was difficult to drink and no one drank it, but now tea has become a must-have item for every dignitary to entertain guests at home.

I heard that Du Xiang's health is slightly better because of drinking tea, which makes people crave tea even more, and he has to drink some almost every day.

Sales are not your average horror.

And fine salt.

Just a few months after its launch, it completely replaced the previous coarse salt and salt and so on.

Its sales are also very terrifying, it's all money, it's endless money!

Either of these two things can make a person rich, and Fang Yuan actually has two, it's terrifying, right?

"Actually, Fang Yuan still has a lot of strange inventions, but it seems that he is too busy, so he has not implemented them."

Du Miaoyan stopped and looked back at a few people.

Seeing the shocked looks of several people, she smiled proudly.

"It's kind of scary."

Eldest Sun Chong and the others looked at each other, feeling Fang Yuan's terrible for the first time.

I thought it was a small thorn history, but I didn't expect that it was rich and rivaled the country, rich and powerful.

"Let's go."

Du Miaoyan smiled slightly, and turned to find Fang Yuan.

As soon as Fang Yuan returned to the Assassin's Mansion, he received a letter from the Yellow River, sent back by Liao Fengmao.

In the months that Liao Fengmao was away, he would send back a letter every month, telling Fang Yuan about the situation there, as well as reporting his safety, and so on.

If it was something important, Fang Yuan would go back in person, and if it was homely, Fang Yuan would let Hongxu and Qing Yuan and others go back.

However, the letters were all sent to the Fang Mansion, and it was the first time they were sent to the Thorn History Mansion, which made Fang Yuan feel wrong.

Sure enough, as Fang Yuan thought, what Liao Fengmao said in his letter was really not a good thing.

[The Yellow River embankment is well managed, but the materials used are of low quality. 】

[Some people embezzled the money from the imperial court for disaster relief, and even wanted the embankment to crack and harm the people on both sides of the strait. 】

As for who it was, there was no record in the letter, and it is estimated that Liao Fengmao did not know who embezzled and wanted to harm the people on both sides of the strait.

After reading the letter, Fang Yuan couldn't calm down for a long time.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who have made a fortune through disasters.

As long as the interests are sufficient, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the strait can be disregarded.

If the Yellow River dam cracks, it will really harm hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the river, and he may also be implicated.

It's really hateful, it's really a brute!

"Zhou Zun, Miss Du asked to see her, and there were also several sons who made trouble at the State Guest House, saying that they were paying you back."

The state officials who guarded the gate came to report.

"Please come in."

Fang Yuan retracted his emotions and said indifferently.

Soon, Du Miaoyan and the eldest grandson rushed in at them, and some people came in with several boxes of money.

"Fang Yuan, we grew up together, and it's not easy for me to refuse their affairs."

Du Miaoyan apologized.

The general situation is explained.

She has the privilege of coming and going in and out of the Assassin's Mansion at will.

But she didn't have it today, she wanted to see Fang Yuan's attitude first.

If Fang Yuan didn't agree to her helping to repay the money, she could just leave.

Even if Fang Yuan was not disgusted, the eldest Sun Chong and the others, who didn't know the situation, would not blame her.

"It's okay, sit here."

Fang Yuan nodded and invited them to sit at the coffee table.

"No need, just give us the contract."

Changsun Chong didn't move.

Because he didn't feel the need to stay.

It's already embarrassing to lose, and it's even more embarrassing to sit down and drink tea.

Seeing that he didn't move, a few people didn't really want to sit down and drink tea with Fang Yuan.

"The money is given, but what about Qin Huaiyu's three-year appointment?"

Fang Yuan sat down and said with a smile.

The faces of several people changed, and finally Qin Huaiyu walked over and sat down first.

Seeing that Qin Huaiyu had all sat down, the eldest grandson Chong and the others could only follow and sit down.

"Fang Yuan, how can you give us the contract back?"

"You know, I'm the son of Guogong, and it's impossible for me to be someone else's little brother."

Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.

He is the son of the Duke of the Kingdom and will inherit the throne of the Duke of the Kingdom in the future.

As the future Guogong, how can he be someone else's little brother?

"It's your business, what does it have to do with me?"

"When the contract is announced, you will be the one who will lose face."

"Even if it will make the prince unable to inherit, it is your business."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Explain the disadvantages to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu and the others were taken aback, and their faces changed greatly.

That's what they're worried about.

As a national prince, he is a little brother himself.

In any case, it is a matter of disgrace to the imperial court.

There is only one son on the side of Yiguo Gong, Qin Huaiyu, who can only be passed on to Qin Huaiyu.

But the imperial court is not necessarily, and may consider various issues, and eventually demotion or something.

"Fang Yuan, are you really going to make such a fuss?!"

Qin Huaiyu stared at Fang Yuan angrily.

His fists were clenched subconsciously, and his face was very ugly.

The faces of Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were also ugly.

Being held hostage by Fang Yuan like this made them very angry and embarrassed, and they wanted to do something extreme.

It was the first time Du He saw Qin Huaiyu show such a terrifying expression, and immediately looked to the other side.

"That, Fang Yuan, do you want to change the conditions?"

Du Miaoyan sighed in her heart and pleaded.

After all, they grew up since childhood, and they didn't want them to have such a stiff quarrel with Fang Yuan.

"Since Miaoyan pleaded, then I'll change the conditions."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Du Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sweetly.

"You say!"

Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Du Miaoyan gratefully.

The same is true of the eldest grandson Chong, who recorded Du Miaoyan's kindness in their hearts.

"Do you know that I invented tea and fine salt?"

Fang Yuan already had an idea in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Qin Huaiyu hummed.

thought Fang Yuan was going to brag to them.

"It's good to know."

"I don't just have fine salt and tea, but I also have cement, honeycomb coal, etc., but I'm short of partners."

"You are all sons of Guogong, if you are willing to help me sell the products, all the products sold by you. One person, one percent. ”

Fang Yuan said slowly.

"What, what?"

Qin Huaiyu and the others were suddenly stunned.

The condition for the replacement turned out to be to ask them to help sell something?

This is a proper gift!

Although Qin Huaiyu and others boast of being the son of the Duke of the Kingdom.

But with the Royal Comptoir here, they couldn't believe that Fang Yuan would choose to help sell the product.

"Don't want to?!"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

If you don't want to, isn't your plan hard to execute?

"No, no, very willing!"

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly replied.

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin also nodded again and again.

They don't know how profitable tea and fine salt are, but they are certainly very profitable.

Since Fang Yuan said cement and honeycomb coal together with them, it must be extremely profitable.

One person is one, how much profit does that have to be?

Fang Yuan. No, brother-in-law, I'm willing to do it too. ”

Du He interjected on the side.

With such good conditions, he is 100,000 willing.

As soon as the word brother-in-law came out, the faces of everyone at the scene suddenly changed.

Du Miaoyan blushed, shyly held the teacup with both hands, and lowered her head to drink tea.

Qin Huaiyu and the others were dissatisfied, but for the sake of money, they all chose not to speak.

"Then count on you, one of you is one percent, a total of fifty percent."

"But you need to go through an assessment, and only after passing can you officially cooperate, and the contract can also be exchanged for you."

Fang Yuan coughed dryly and said with a slight embarrassment.

The relationship between him and Du Miaoyan has not yet reached that point.

Although Du Miaoyan said that he liked himself last time, Fang Yuan didn't accept it, and he didn't know how to accept it.

So the relationship between the two is better than that of friends, but it is not to the point of lovers.

"What assessment?"

Qin Huaiyu said cautiously.

But I am also looking forward to it.

It's just an assessment, and no matter how difficult it is, it's better than getting the contract back.

"Help me escort a batch of cement to clean up the Yellow River dam, and by the way, listen to Liao Fengmao's arrangement to find out one or two things."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

After reading Liao Fengmao's letter, Fang Yuan thought about how to slaughter those beasts.

It just so happened that Du Miaoyan arrived with Qin Huaiyu and the others, and thinking of their identities again, Fang Yuan had a plan in his heart.

"It's as simple as that?"

Qin Huaiyu was no longer confident.

The eldest grandson Chong and the others also looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

The assessment was so simple that they couldn't believe it.

Even Du Miaoyan was surprised, thinking that Fang Yuan wouldn't be jealous of the identity of the eldest grandson Chong and the others, right?
