Chapter 55 White Horse Club

[55] White Horse Club

Is there money? Brother Yao is talking about paper money? Li Jingfang asked.

Yao Fan said solemnly, "It's the hair*! The court issued * to recover silver and copper money. Copper and silver are both metals and can be sold for money. In this way, there will naturally be entries. Hundreds of millions of copper and silver issued outside in the Qing Dynasty. Even if 10 million taels of silver are returned a year, it is quite considerable, and it will not affect the normal monetary order of the market.

Then the government used the exchanged silver to buy machines and build factories, and made foreign cloth, steel, dyes, ships and other goods for domestic sale, gradually reducing the market share of foreign goods.

Yao Fan is not sure whether his bullshit will be passed on to Li Hongzhang's ears by the three children of the Li family, which will affect the policy. His only certainty is that if the Qing Dynasty really implements these policies, it will invisibly shake its ruling foundation.

Yao Fan said, "When it comes to issuing *, some people object and talking about the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, but the money issued in the Ming Dynasty is because the financial income is not enough. But at that time, the finances of the Qing Dynasty were still good. It was the time to issue money. Now all Western countries are issuing money. If the Qing Dynasty didn't catch up with this trend, wouldn't it be a loss? Think about it, people use paper as money, but the Qing Dynasty uses silver as money. Who will suffer?

"If the princes in the court do not object to this matter, it is also simple! Just run a newspaper! As long as the newspaper talks about the policy of the imperial court as a flower, there will be less discussion. If three newspapers advocate together, there will be fewer people talking about it. If seven or eight newspapers say it's okay, how many people will be the first?

Li Jingfang said, "What if the newspaper also opposes it?"

Yao Fan said, "Since my new foreign affairs in the Qing Dynasty are all handled by officials, as long as the officials who manage newspapers agree with the policy of the court. With a card in his hand, the criticisms in the newspaper will naturally be gone."

So the four of them discussed the issue of issuing money for a long time before dispersing.

The next morning, Yao Fan got up with the guys. After simply washing, he put the goods on the bicycle shelf as usual. After buying pancakes, green onions, soy sauce and sausages for dry food on the road from the inn, he went on the road with the Li family.

Only then did Yao Fan find that the team of the Li family was more than his 31-man caravan!

In addition to the three carriages of the three brothers of the Li family, there are also three horse-drawn carts piled with cages, oil umbrellas and other travel objects. In addition to the magnificent protection of Fubo and ten family members, the Li family actually has 50 attendants carrying big burdens to protect the convoy. Yao Fan looked at these people as strong as soldiers.

Li Jingfang explained to Yao Fan, "These are also my family's subordinates. They are all rough people. Yesterday, I asked them to rest in the big car shop in the city. Brother Yao might as well get in the car and chat all the way.

Yao Fan did not agree to Li Jingfang's invitation to ride in the same car, and rode his bicycle behind his friends.

Li Jingshu is a teenager. He asked for a bicycle from Yao Fan's clerk, transferred the box and the clerk to his big car, and rode with Yao Fan by himself.

"Do you really know how to ride?" Yao Fan laughed.

"Of course, I also rode it at home, but I haven't been far away. Brother Yao, your car is so good and comfortable to ride. The front and rear reel of my Yanma is unusually large, and the front reel does not turn, but relies on the rear reel to turn. It's really far from being as flexible as you. Li Jing said.

The teenager Li Jingshu rode slowly with Yao Fan, and Yao Fan also tried to constantly impact the teenager's heart with words. How can a white-paper young man stand the smoke of old deep-fried dough sticks like Yao Fan? Gradually, Li Jingshu was infected by Yao Fan, and his heart gradually worshipped him, and even deliberately began to learn Yao Fan's tone.

About last night, I read too late and didn't get enough sleep. After eating dry food in Shilibao at noon, Li Jingshu got into his car and took a nap. Yao Fan and his guys continued to ride in front of the sun after eating dry food in Shilibao Town.

"Guys, ride faster and go to the front to catch a shady field. Let's rest and wait for them." Yao Fan doesn't want to be slow.

So the Yao family's bicycle team gradually pulled the Li family away and left them behind.

Riding, Yao Fan saw the cyan sorghum land on both sides of the road ahead. Yao Fan smiled and said, "It's good here. We got in and lay down, and the sun couldn't shine."

The guys were also in favor of waiting for the convoy behind while hiding from the sun in the sorghum field, so everyone only cared about accelerating and riding in.

Yao Fan was so excited that he rushed the front of the car and roared:

"Hey~~~~~~~~, sister, go forward boldly!

Go forward, don't look back!

The road to heaven and earth, nine thousand nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred!

............”

The yellow sorghum ears and cyan sorghum leaves on both sides of the road shook vigorously and kept nodding in the wind.

When the guys listened and were listening enthusiastically, in the dense sorghum bushes on both sides of the ground, they suddenly rushed out of a group of people to surround them, holding single knives out of their sheaths in their hands, which were dazzling and piercing.

This group of people still shouted one after another, "Don't move!!!"

"It's not good! There is a robbery!" He Shicheng screamed in a shrill voice!

Guys suddenly messed up! One by one, some fell out of the car with soft feet, some directly hit the front man, and some couldn't stop the front of the car and fell to the ground. There was chaos everywhere.

Yao Fan suddenly panicked. He never thought that he would meet bandits in this broad daylight! Just now, he sang happily. At this time, he was asked to come up with a countermeasure, which was really a little blank.

Li Jun, the head of the carpentry squad, shouted, "Everyone, copy the guy!" Take the stick!"

Liu Jinbao, who once proposed to help Yao Fan commit crimes, wanted to buy time and shouted loudly: "A hero opposite! Which immortal came from? How much do you want to buy?

He Shicheng, Zhou Shi and others were rushing to draw sticks from the back of the car, but after the chaos, the big blades had been put on everyone's necks one by one, and the crowd suddenly became quiet.

The cold steel knife stood on Yao Fan's shoulder, and the blade was against Yao Fan's neck, and Yao Fan's goose bumps rose in an instant!

He was so scared that he was about to flee immediately, but he was afraid that his speed was not fast enough. The sudden escape would anger the other party, wipe it off with a knife, and return to 2011 in a different place.

At the critical moment, Yao Fan settled down and said boldly, "A good man keeps people!" It's easy to discuss! Take whatever you want, don't do it! We are all businessmen who go to the world to do business. There are old and subordinates at home, good men and benevolence. Let's think more about the old and young in our family!"

I saw a black-faced man who looked like a leader and said, "Are you the shopkeeper?"

Yao Fan saw that he was not tall, his shoulders were round, and his body was very strong, so he slowly held his fists and arched him. He did not dare to alarm the people with the knife around him and praised him, "What a man! What a raw leopard's head ring, powerful and bold! Seeing you today, it really lives up to its reputation! Yao Fan, I have met a good man!"

The strong man with black face frowned and said, "Do you recognize me?"

Yao Fan also sweated coldly and said unobstructedly, "A man, please ask the brother beside me to put down the knife first. It's so scary to be close to my neck. I'm an unarmed businessman who doesn't know martial arts. Why are you afraid of me doing it?"

The man pouted at the bandits beside Yao Fan. The man hit the knife, which scared Yao Fan almost to flee with blood sacrifice. Fortunately, Yao Fan saw it so well that this man closed his arm, otherwise he would really escape immediately.

Yao Fan wiped his cold sweat and said that the time for the blood sacrifice to escape was more generous.

He swallowed his saliva and said, "Good man, you are here to buy money, right? We traders have prepared filial piety. Each of you has ten taels of silver per person. What do you think? There is something to discuss."

He Shicheng hurriedly said, "The silver is in the bag behind my car. I'll give it to the king. Please let us go."

Hearing this, a red-faced man beside the leader immediately came forward and untied the burden on the shelf behind He Shicheng's car. Seeing that there were 50 or 60 silver ingots in it, he picked up the thick cotton burden of more than 30 catties and gave it to a woman beside the leader.

The black-faced leader said to Yao Fan, "This shopkeeper, what do you think? Do you recognize me?"

Yao Fan quickly arched his hand and smiled, "I have never seen you before. But I heard that there are good men who robbed the rich and helped the poor around here.

As you know, we do business in the world, and we pay attention to harmony and make money. When we meet in the world, it is fate. As the saying goes, you will be familiar with each other. In the future, I, Yao Fan, will lead the caravan through this place again, and I will definitely prepare enough money to honor you like today. As the saying goes, everyone has made a profit. We must follow the rules of the world set by Haohan.

The black-faced man's face was slightly slower by Yao Fan, but he still said coldly, "You, the shopkeeper, can speak. Originally, it was enough to collect money to buy a road, but recently there has been a severe drought, and the old and young in the stockade are hungry, so I have to bother the shopkeeper as if I save the people with porridge and leave all the goods for me. Don't worry, as long as you are honest and don't move, I will only rob money and die.

Yao Fanxin said, "Osh! Blame yourself for not being aware of it!

Here is a dense sorghum land on both sides of the official road, like a forest! As the saying goes, I should have been on guard in advance. Now that the knife has been put around my neck, it is really late to bargain at this time.

After Yao Fan figured it out, the bachelor said, "In this case, let's move. Guys, listen to it. Don't move. If you hurt yourself, I, Yao Fan, can't explain it to your family. Money is something outside the body. If you lose it today and earn it tomorrow, don't care about it.

The woman beside the black-faced leader smiled and said, "You are also benevolent and righteous. It's the first time I've seen a vendor like you who cherish your fellows. Remember, if you take this road in the future, my white horse will definitely not charge you tolls."

Yao Fan scolded over and over again, "I'm your grandfather! I'm your grandfather!! I'm your grandfather!!!

said with a smile on his face, "Yao Fan, thank you for taking care of this heroine!"

So the guys were driven to sit on the ground by the bandits, and Yao Fan was taken to the leader by the bandits to guide the bandits to unload the goods from the bicycle.

Just as Yao Fan watched the bandits move his goods from the side with a bitter face, suddenly there was a shocking shout of killing everywhere. A group of people with snowy steel knives rushed out of the sorghum field. Yao Fan fixed his eyes. It was the followers of the Li family who looked at the ferocious and brave face, but looked like a long-lasting elite soldiers.
