Chapter 71 Finalize Cooperation

After seeing Fan Yutong, Fan Xi was basically relieved to Fan Yutong. As a meat ticket, it is quite good to be treated so well as Fan Yutong, so there is no reason for Fan Xi to fight for anything for Fan Yutong. Anyway, this time he brought a lot of things to Fan Yutong. In the future, Fan Yutong's life here will be better. In addition, he can't do anything else.

When he saw Xiao Tianjian again, Fan Xi still thanked Xiao Tianjian for his kindness. He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Xiao Tianjian for treating Fan Yutong so kindly. He hoped that Xiao Tianjian could treat Fan Yutong better in the future. After he went back this time, he promised to fulfill the contract and provide supplies to each other according to their agreement. Establish trade with each other.

Xiao Tianjian naturally agreed, and also expressed his gratitude to Fan Xi. After agreeing on the list of materials for the first batch of transactions, Xiao Tianjian turned to Fan Xi to inquire about the outside world.

Although Xing Tianjun occupies Yangcheng County, and this is also the intersection of the three provinces of Jin, Yu and Beizhili. It should have been very well-informed, but after all, Xing Tianjun has been standing here for a short time, and his own intelligence network has not yet been built, so the news is relatively very closed. For things that are slightly farther from the outside world, it is easy to I can't know it.

Fan Xi came here this time, which was also a rare opportunity for Xiao Tianjian, so he asked Fan Xi about the news outside.

Since Fan Xi has made up his mind to cooperate with Xiao Tianjian in the future, he will naturally no longer hide anything. Xiao Tianjian asks anything, as long as he knows, he will answer anything. As long as it is not a secret about the Fan family, he basically does not hide what he knows.

As the big housekeeper of a giant merchant, Fan Xi does not only care about the affairs of the Fan family's mansion. Most of the time, he represents Fan Yaoshan, a big shopkeeper, to patrol the business of the Fan family everywhere. Therefore, Fan Xi's news is very well-in-in-the-reach, which is also something that businessmen must master.

When Xiao Tianjian asked about the officials in Shanxi and recent major events, Fan Xi heard the words and replied, "Now the governor of Shanxi is Wu Yong, the new governor. It is said that this person is good at making good use. In July this year, the Taran entered the same area of the army again, and the officers and soldiers were defeated in several battles. Lingqiu County was defeated by the Jin army, and the city was guarded. Shiqi, President Chen Yanwu, Ma Ruqi, Zhang Biao of the classic history, and teach Lu Dengfu, all of whom fought to death. After the city was broken, Jiang Bingcai, a magistrate, was killed by his family. It's really annoying!

Originally, we all thought that there was a fierce general like Cao Wenzhao sitting in Datong, which should not be a big problem, but we didn't think that even Cao Wenzhao was defeated by the Jin people. I heard that he was dismissed from his official position by the court and wanted to be a military border guard!

However, Wu Yong, the governor of Shanxi, is good at making good use of people. He knows that Cao Wenzhao is good at fighting. He recommends him to help suppress the general officer and make contributions to himself. Originally, Wu Yong wanted Cao Wenchao to calm down the banditry in various parts of Shanxi, but now the situation in Henan is getting tight, and the court ordered Cao Wenzhao to enter Henan first to pacify the banditry in Henan!

To tell you the truth, it's really the right time for you to come this time. If Cao Wenzhao is now responsible for suppressing bandits in Shanxi, I'm afraid that your life will not be too good. Although Cao Wenzhao was defeated by the golden soldiers this time, he can't be blamed. The main reason is that the court forced him has to He went out of the city to fight, and the left and right officers and soldiers were greedy and afraid of death, which made him return in a great defeat, but his soldiers and generals were all elite soldiers. If he came here to besiege and suppress Xiao's family, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Xiao's family to gain a foothold here!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded. The reason why he came here at that time was because he knew some of the historical development of this era in advance, and also heard some things in Shanxi. Knowing that the army in Shanxi was empty at this time, he made up his mind to come here first. If Cao Weizhao is here at this time, Feng Xi is right. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold here.

Then Xiao Tianjian asked about the rebels in Shaanxi. Fan Xi replied, "As far as I know, Chen Qiyu, the previous governor of the five provinces, had just been dismissed by the current emperor some time ago and was arrested and sent to the capital to wait for the crime. Now he has promoted the former governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou Hong as a new one. The governor of the five provinces, the governor besieged and suppresses the banditry in several provinces. In fact, even I admired Xiao Dang's wisdom and left Shaanxi first. Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been in Shaanxi for half a year. Now I heard that under the supervision of the new governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, the officers and soldiers have been expelled these people. They had to escape from Shaanxi again. It is said that they have flocked back to Henan in large numbers. If Master Xiao takes a step slower, I'm afraid that he will either be killed by Hong Dushi's troops, or he will be driven to Henan with them! I heard that they escaped from Shaanxi. It was very miserable. Most of the things they finally grabbed were lost. Along the way, many mutants fell to death on the side of the road with hunger, and the bodies could not be collected. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid these mutants won't be long to toss around!"

Xiao Tianjian sneered and said to Fan Xi, "It will be a matter of time before Chen Qiyu is arrested. This matter is not as I expected. If he hadn't listened to the slander, it would have been that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would have rotten their bones in the carriage gorge for a long time, although I heard that he would suppress it. The responsibility for the failure was put on the officials such as practicing state affairs, but there would still be understanding people among the officials in the imperial court. It was necessary to write a letter to impeach him. Chen Qiyu was arrested, which was also deserved! Humph!

However, Fan's housekeeper obviously underestimates those people like Wang Gao Yingxiang and the eighth king Zhang Xianzhong. At present, it seems that they have been driven away from Shaanxi by Hong Chengchou, but it is estimated that only some of the people who died of hunger and were wiped out by the officers and soldiers. Its core main force should be a little loss, and it is said that Henan has also Droughts are continuous, and the people are even more difficult to make a living. As long as they don't die, as soon as they enter Henan, they will immediately respond again. If they gather a large number of people to join the gang, they will not hurt their muscles and bones at all!

Therefore, the court wanted to completely eliminate them. As long as the northern tar can't be solved, the court will continue to increase the salary. If the salary is increased, more people will not make a living. If it goes on like this, hum! It's not that I look down on the emperor today. With his ability, he can't solve this problem. The border generals are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not deal with the Eastern Man. It's just a waste of national power, and the court can't ignore it, so they can only suffer the people of the world! As long as the common people have no food to eat, they can't be annihilated by the government. If they kill one, they will get up ten again. If they kill ten, they will rise up a hundred people to rebel! If it goes on like this, not only will the court not be able to eliminate these mutans, but more and more exiles will join them in the future. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of our so-called mutineers!"

After Fan Xi's eyebrows jumped a few times, he looked at Xiao Tianjian and said, "Is it possible that Xiao is so sure that the court will be destroyed by you? You should know that although the Ming Dynasty is eventful, after all, it is in charge of the world, and there are millions of powerful soldiers, and there are many fierce generals. How can you overthrow it?

"A million soldiers? I think it's a bear! If the Ming officials and soldiers are really fierce generals, then why can't the court do anything about the little Donglu Tsar for so many years? Millions of Liao yuan are lost in Liaodong every year. Did you hear a noise?

Have so many officers and soldiers ever fought a decent battle? Shouldn't the Eastern Tahs enter the customs every year, or should they enter the customs and plunder? When the army of the Carthate entered the customs, it was not a swagger **. Have any officers and soldiers ever fought with them once?

Butler Fan, don't deceive yourself. You must see it more clearly than I should. This is the general trend. Nowadays, the emperor has no choice but to return to heaven! The Ming Dynasty is bound to die!" After Xiao Tianjian patted the case, he said firmly.

Fan Xi sat in the chair and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he looked up at Xiao Tianjian's eyes and asked him, "So does the general also have the heart to win the world?"

Xiao Tianjian stared at Fan Xi's eyes without hesitation and replied in a low voice, "There are virtuous people in this world. Whoever gets the hearts of the people and who gets the world. It doesn't matter whether I have the heart to win the world or not. The important thing is whether the hearts of the people will stand on my side in the future!"

Fan Xi looked at Xiao Tianjian for a long time. He got up and saluted Xiao Tianjian and said, "I hope Xiao will take more care of our Fan family in the future!" I've been here for a long time, and it's time to go back! Let's say goodbye! General, please rest assured that after I go back this time, I will immediately persuade my master to transport the first batch of goods you need!"

Xiao Tianjian got up and hugged his fist and said, "Only mutual benefit can win-win! Then it's all for you to work on the housekeeper! I will send someone to escort Butler Fan back to Pingyang Mansion, and I will leave the rest to you!"

Although he was reluctant to give up, Fan Xi still had to go back. Xiao Tianjian accompanied Fan Yutong to send Fan Xi out of the village door. In addition, he sent Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng to see Fan Xi off together to ensure the safety of Fan Xi and his party. The women brought by Fan Xi, Xiao Tianjian was worried about them and did not let them stay. By the way. He also asked Fan Xi to take it back and told Fan Xi that he had arranged someone to take care of Fan Yutong's living life, so he didn't have to worry about his father Fan Yaoshan.
