Li Yan's face was a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Sect Master Chen, if you are not willing to cooperate with us, you can directly refuse, why do you have to offer such harsh conditions? Three million taels of silver, it is impossible for King Chuang to take it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Zicheng robbed a lot of gentry, but he did not use it sparingly. There are no financial management experts in the army, anyway, they just grab it and spend it, and then grab it when they are finished. Money comes easily, and it comes naturally.

If you want Li Zicheng to come up with three million taels of silver at one time, it is simply impossible.

The red lady was also dissatisfied with Chen Ji.

Zhang Mingyue's eyes were cold, and she said to Li Yan: "General Li, do you think that the conditions that I have publicly announced are very harsh? My Xianggong is just a first-class martial artist, even if his martial arts and swordsmanship are strong, but what you want him to deal with is a grandmaster. Everyone is considered a person in the martial arts world, and they should know in their hearts what the grandmaster represents? More importantly, this grandmaster is still from Jinyiwei, and he fulfills the emperor's will. Once the White Lotus Sect becomes an enemy of him, he cannot capture or kill him, and will face his crazy revenge. ”

Remembered by a master who is good at hiding and mastering assassination, no one can sleep peacefully. If the White Lotus Sect offends such a strong grandmaster, it will definitely cause huge trouble.

Chen Ji said with a smile: "General Li, Red Lady, this seat doesn't want to cooperate with King Chuang, because this seat is not optimistic about him Li Zicheng." Of course, if you can really come up with three million taels of silver, for the sake of money, I can do it. Please be clear, this is just a transaction, and it is not a cooperation between the White Lotus Sect and you. If you think this deal is not worth it, you can go to Shaolin, Wudang, or Quanzhen Sect and Wutai Mountain, these sects, there are also many strong grandmasters. King Chuang is powerful, they may be optimistic about Li Zicheng and promise to make a move to block the court master for you. ”

Li Yan stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye." I hope that the two of us will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

Chen Ji said with a smile: "Trading is not benevolent. General Li, the red lady, the two of them walked slowly, and did not send them. ”

Li Yan and the Red Lady left the Taoist temple and went directly to Huashan.

Zhang Mingyue sneered: "Li Yan actually wants to go to the grandmaster of the imperial court to fight with you, but he is unwilling to come up with something practical, do you really think that with one mouth, you can persuade the White Lotus Sect to fight for them?"

Chen Ji said with a smile: "Aren't all the scholars of the Ming Dynasty like this. Don't be angry, Li Zicheng is invincible now, and he will definitely end miserably in the future. Li Yan is talented and capable, but unfortunately his vision is not very good, he is mixed in a group of big and rough people, and it is inevitable that people will be jealous, not to mention that his wife is really beautiful, I am afraid that he has been remembered by others at this time. It can be seen that Li Yan will not end well in the future. ”

Zhang Mingyue glanced at Chen Ji and said, "What about you, do you also think about this beautiful red lady?"

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "How can it." The red lady is not as beautiful as the bright moon. I'm talking about Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng is very lustful, if he didn't have crooked thoughts about the red lady, I wouldn't believe it if I was killed. ”

Li Yan and the Red Lady came to the foot of Huashan, and the Red Lady said in a cold voice with a trace of anger on her face: "White Lotus Sect Master, I thought he was a great hero who stood up to the sky, not only made Ao Bai deflated, but also made the Tartar Emperor find the sky-high bounty order. It's really better to be famous than to meet, but I didn't expect Chen Ji to be a person who was full of copper smell, and he only had silver in his heart. He asked for three million taels when he opened his mouth, and he was not afraid of eating to death, he really thought that King Chuang's silver was blown by a strong wind? King Chuang's army had not been paid for two months. ”

The red lady is beautiful and simple, and she has always thought that what Li Zicheng and others did was just, and it was for the sake of the common people in the world to overthrow the imperial court. But Li Zicheng's army had already begun to decay, and only the soldiers and the common people were poor, and as for those leaders, each of them could get a share of the silver. Li Yan is clear about these situations, and he has also put forward his opinions many times, but unfortunately, Li Zicheng's idea of taking care of other people has not been adopted.

"Xianggong, Chen Ji doesn't agree to make a move, what should we do now? Do we want to go back like this?" the red lady asked, "It is said that Chen Ji's master is the White Crane Daoist, but unfortunately, I didn't see him this time, otherwise, we will definitely be able to persuade the White Crane Daoist to let him make a move." ”

The White Crane Taoist is known as the world's number one master, and the officials don't know much about him, but in the martial arts world, there is no one who doesn't know the White Crane Taoist.

Li Yan shook his head and said, "If the grandmaster of the imperial court doesn't stop for a day, the safety of King Chuang will not be guaranteed for a day." Chen Ji is right, there are so many martial arts families in the world, and it is not only his White Lotus Sect that has a grandmaster. Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain Quanzhen Sect!"

........................

Shanxi, Fan's family.

Fan Yu is in his fifties, with a slender figure, a smile on his face all the time, and a kind and wealthy appearance, but few people know that Fan Yu is a strong grandmaster.

Fan Yu, as the housekeeper of the Fan family, is Fan Yongdou's absolute confidant, and he can be described as loyal to Fan Yongdou.

Fan Yu entered the study, and Fan Yongdou was already waiting.

"Master, everything has been done. Fan Yu said slightly respectfully, "The amount of salt and iron is sufficient, and there are 200,000 quintals of grain, worth a total of 1.27 million taels of silver." Two days later, the Ao Bai Commander came in person, believing that there would be no accidents. ”

Fan Yongdou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, I will rest assured." With you and Ao Bai escorting this batch of goods at the same time, it is foolproof. However, you still have to be careful of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, those generals at the border gates, who should be dotted with silver, must be dotted well, and don't be afraid to spend silver. ”

Fan Yu and Ao Bai are both grandmasters, and with the two of them here, Fan Yongdou is very relieved.

The Manchu Tartars robbed a lot of gold and silver from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and if these real gold and silver were not spent, they would have no value and no difference from stones. However, the Manchus and Mongolia could not eat so much gold and silver, and the only way was to use this gold and silver to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

The Jin merchants who did business with the Manchus all earned a lot of wealth, and the Manchus paid the silver very happily, which led to the Jin merchants doing business with the Manchus desperately, and even did not hesitate to deliver strategic materials and intelligence such as refined iron and refined salt to the Manchus.

Fan Yongdou said: "Okay, Fan Yu, you go down and get busy first." ”

Fan Yu said respectfully: "Yes, master." ”

As soon as he walked to the door, Fan Yu suddenly said again: "Oh, by the way, master, in the past few days, I have found out that someone is secretly inquiring about the shipment of our Fan family." ”

Fan Yongdou's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious face: "Is there such a thing? Is it the Seven Great Families?" Hmph, although everyone is a Jin businessman, but my Fan family's business is the biggest, and the relationship with the Qing Dynasty is also the best, do they want to challenge my Fan family's status?"

Jin merchants also have competition.

The Fan family wanted to maintain their position as the head of the Jin merchants and faced strong pressure.

Fan Yu shook his head and said, "It's not the Seven Great Families. It should be a spy of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Fan Yongdou had shock in his eyes, and suddenly stood up: "What did you say, White Lotus Sect?"
