Chapter 49 Interoperability
Fan Yutong frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Tianjian and said, "Is it possible that the general has no intention of returning the little girl?"
Xiao Tianjian was a little embarrassed this time: "This... this... Presumably Miss Fan is always in a boudoir, and it's not easy to come out. Why not stay here for a few days? It's good to go out and relax! Sitting at home for a long time is not good for your health! Walking out is good for physical and mental health! Hey hey!"
Fan Yutong gave Xiao Tianjian a hard look. Although she was a little scared at the beginning, it was not difficult for her to see Xiao Tianjian after arriving here, and she did not hate life here. After all, there was a kind of difference in this place, which made her a little curious, so Xiao Tianjian is now She didn't plan to let her go. In fact, she was not too anxious. After thinking about it, she frowned and said, "You said that you want to communicate with our Fan family, so that is to say, you want to do business through our Fan family!" You should know that the court can have strict orders, but all merchants who trade with your thieves will be punished with treason! I don't know if my father can agree to this request!"
Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "The merchants are all for the purpose of profit-seeking, and the court has also issued an order not to trade with the Jin people outside the customs, but how many Jin merchants are obedient? What's more, are there a few merchants who secretly trade with the Rebels everywhere? I don't believe that with huge profits in front of me, which company can stop this kind of **! Since I met the young lady this time, it's better to give this opportunity to your Fan family business! You can think about this matter. If Miss Fan is willing to help Xiao, Xiao will be very grateful. If it really doesn't work, Xiao will have to find another way!"
Fan Yutong nodded slightly and said, "Okay! How about the big head and the little girl think about it and give a reply to the big head tomorrow?
Xiao Tianjian did not force Fan Yutong. He nodded and said, "Miss Fan must have been at home all year round, and she also knows some principles of business. As the saying goes, you can't miss the opportunity. I hope Miss Fan can reply as soon as possible!" It's getting late. I still have something to do. Good bye!"
Fan Yutong bowed slightly to Xiao Tianjian as a courtesy. Xiao Tianjian smiled and turned around and walked towards the front village. Looking at Xiao Tianjian's back, Fan Yutong remembered the embarrassing scene just now. His face turned slightly red, and he didn't want to enjoy the snow here anymore. He turned around and walked towards her residence. Go.
After returning to his hut, Fan Yutong frowned and considered Xiao Tianjian's words. Xiao Tianjian was right. At this time, few merchants were abiding by the law. It was normal for businessmen to make profits. In order to make money, the merchants could be said to do everything. Under the protection of officials, they bribed. Official, you can do any business.
And the Jin merchants are even more so. The court has long had a strict order that they are not allowed to trade outside the customs. However, they still can't stop the Jin merchants from dealings with the Houjin people. They sell a large amount of grain, cloth and even weapons to the Houjin people in exchange for fur, deer antler, ginseng and other things. The two sides can be said to have already formed a huge interest group, and even do not hesitate to go backwards. The Jin people's betrayal of intelligence has led to the development of many Jin merchants over the years, and the officials clearly prohibit this kind of behavior, but they secretly accept bribes, and even directly participate in the transactions with the later Jin people. They take the opportunity to make a fortune. To put it bluntly, they took the salary of the Ming Dynasty, but they did things with the enemy.
However, her father is slightly better at this point. Although he also deals with the Houjin people, Fan Yaoshan still has some principles for some important materials. He will not trade with the Hou Jin people, especially in selling information, and will not do such immoral things. The main business partner of the Fan family is still the Mongols. Compared with the Houjin people, the Mongols are less threatening to the Ming Dynasty, so the Fan family is less taboo to do business with them.
It is also for this reason that the business of the Fan family has become less and worse than before over the years. Those merchants who trade with the gold people have made a lot of money over the years, and gradually crowded the business of the Fan family has become more and more difficult to do.
Fan Yutong usually likes to listen to his father Fan Yaoshan talk about some business things, and Fan Yaoshan is also intended to cultivate his precious daughter. He will tell Fan Yutong a lot of business inside stories, so Fan Yutong also understands his father Fan Yaoshan's current predicament, and Xiao Tianjian's proposal, for the Fan family, how not It's an opportunity!
Those merchants can trade with the Jin people, so why can't their Fan family trade with Xing Tianjun? Moreover, Xiao Tianjian just said without hesitation that Xing Tianjun has also accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures by plundering large households in Shaanxi. These things are useless to stay in Xing Tianjun. They must find a place to spend them and replace them with useful things. The Fan family does not do this business, as long as they are under the profit-making **, it is still There will be businessmen who are willing to do it, so it's better to give them to the Fan family cheaply!
And Fan Yutong is also not used to the current corruption of the government. She grew up in a businessman's family, and she has no strong loyalty. In addition, over the years, she has been out to walk two or three times, and everywhere she has seen poor people everywhere. These ordinary people have been The stripped can't survive at all. There are those who sell their children, those who abandon the land and leave their hometown, those who eat human flesh, and those who go up the mountain to steal!
However, Xing Tianjun is fighting for the right to survive for these ordinary people. Fan Yutong also understands this very clearly. In a vague way, Fan Yutong feels that if Xing Tianjun continues to do this, sooner or later, it will be possible to achieve a great career. At present, they are still very weak. If the Fan family can intervene now Among their contacts, one day it may become a huge opportunity for the Fan family.
After figured this out, Fan Yutong no longer hesitated. She called a healthy woman who took care of her and asked her to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so she wrote on the desk.
Fan Yutong has been reasonable since she was a child. Of course, it is not a matter of time to write a letter. After a while, she wrote a letter and said to Jianfu, "This sister, please forward this letter to General Xiao immediately for review. If there is anything wrong, please come back and tell me. I will modify it separately!"
For Fan Yutong's request, the healthy woman who took care of her did not dare to neglect it and immediately took it out. It didn't take long before she handed the letter to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian opened the letter paper and read it. The small regular script written by Fan Yutong was very beautiful, which made people look pleasing to the eyes. After Xiao Tianjian read it, he did not put forward any amendments to the letter. Immediately, Tietou, who had just returned to his side from injury, said, "Go and tell the female guard who takes care of Miss Fan. Please ask her to tell Miss Fan that this letter is very well written and there is nothing to modify! In addition, thank you for Miss Fan for your deep understanding!
Again, please go and invite Mr. Fu, Feng Gouzi and Li Lingfeng to come to me to discuss matters. Go ahead!"
Without saying a word, Tietou nodded and agreed, then strode out of Xiao Tianjian's 's study'. Soon, Fu Deming and others entered Xiao Tianjian's house from outside.
Xiao Tianjian didn't talk nonsense. He immediately handed the letter to Fu Deming and asked him to see if there was anything wrong. After Fu Deming read it, he nodded and said, "This Miss of the Fan family is very powerful. The letter is very clear. She told her father about the stakes, but she didn't reveal much information. To her father, it seems that she is a very sensible person. We can't underestimate this Miss Fan family!"
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "With Miss Fan's letter, I'm not afraid that Fan Yaoshan won't listen to us!" I'm afraid you two have to work with Gouzi and Ling Feng this time. You two prepare quickly and select a few reliable locals in our army. You leave here together, go to Pingyang Mansion, and throw this letter to Fanjia Company. Naturally, Fan Yaoshan will meet you in Pingyang Mansion. The specific matters will be paid. Sir, I have arranged with you how to talk to Fan Yaoshan. I'm sorry for both of you for your hard work!"
Feng Gouzi was originally born in the market. He has a good brain and many ghost ideas. Li Lingfeng is a local and is easy to cover up his identity, so it is a better choice to let them go this time. Moreover, Feng Gouzi is active and is not prominent among several generals in leading troops. Xiao Tianjian also wanted this guy to be used for it in the future, so this matter fell on Feng Gouzi's head.
As soon as Feng Gouzi heard that he was asked to go out to do business, and this time he was asked to go to Pingyang Mansion, so he immediately came with interest. He immediately jumped up to take the order and couldn't close his mouth, but Li Lingfeng was a steady person. He also got up to take the order and agreed.
"Remember that this time you are going to Pingyang Mansion, which is not an ordinary place. Don't be too flamboyant. It's a big deal! This time, when you go out to do business, Feng Gouzi is the main, with Ling Feng as the supplement, but Feng Gouzi, you should remember to listen to Ling Feng's opinions more, especially after going out, give me less drinking, and go to the kiln with less chance, so as not to be seen through by others and fall into the hands of the government. It doesn't matter if I can do it in Pingyang Mansion, and I don't have the ability. Beat Pingyang Mansion and save you! What should we do? You two discuss it on the way, so that we can't ruin the big deal! Do you remember it?"
After seeing Feng Gouzi's excited expression, Xiao Tianjian told him a few more words. Only then did Feng Gouzi realize that this was not for him to go out to play, but to let him do big things, so he immediately agreed.
Fu Deming, Feng Gouzi and Li Lingfeng carefully explained the details of contacting the Fan family this time, as well as the requirements of Xing Tianjun's side, so that they kept it firmly in mind, and then handed Fan Yutong's letter to them.
"You can make some concessions when necessary. If Fan Yaoshan is really worried about his daughter, you can ask him to send a trusted subordinate to come and have a look with you! In a word, to do this well, it is best to come back before the Spring Festival. Time is now very tight. After the Spring Festival, a lot of things will be shipped in. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have a better life! Everything is for you two!" Before Xiao Tianjian sent them out, he told them again.
