Han ride

Chapter 124
"There is also Hou Shilu who needs to take care of it. These people are people who eat their bones and don't spit out their skin. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get them done." Fan Yongdou thought for a while and sighed: "I really don't know Jiannu When can we call? Although we have money, the other party has the right to go. The so-called county magistrate who destroys the family, the Ling Yin who destroys the family. The other party can ruin our family and property with a single word. Money is useless after all. Power protects us, and at the very least, we need to have status to protect us. But it is impossible in the current imperial court. Our merchant family cannot be an official. We can only support others secretly. After all, it is not our own. Once the other party turns against us, we will also be unlucky Shen Wansan back then must be known to everyone! He was so rich that he paid half of the money to build the capital of Nanjing, but what happened in the end was only because his son spent some money when he took the imperial examination, and was rejected by Taizu The Yellow Emperor ransacked all his families. I don’t want to live in such a life.” This Fan Yongdou thought very thoroughly, knowing that even being rich in the Ming Dynasty was extremely unsafe.

"Jiannu's place is good, but Brother Fan, can you guarantee that Jiannu won't treat us like the imperial court?" Everyone was silent for a while, Tian Shenglan asked softly.

"So we have to link our interests with them." Fan Yongdou said without thinking: "We still have some hope with Jiannu, but with the court, there is no hope at all. The court officials fight each other, even if we have a lot The money, but not necessarily someone can sell our battle, the emperor is a person who often changes the capital and assistant, we may support an official today, but soon, maybe tomorrow, we will be caught by someone. I participated in it. In this way, not only the experience is wasted, but the money is also wasted."

"Hey, we are Han people after all. It doesn't matter if we send something behind our backs, but if we really take refuge in the past, I'm afraid we will be infamous forever in the future!" Di Tang glanced around, his eyes rolling, his face There was even a hint of embarrassment on the face.It seems to be a reluctant appearance.

Everyone saw it, and there was a burst of contempt in their hearts.Everyone has been working in the mall for so many years, so they are naturally a little jealous. The Ming Dynasty is already sunset, the government is corrupt, officials are corrupt, and there are countless rebels. Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, etc. are everywhere. Those who rebelled, but the imperial court only knew about suppressing bandits, but did not know where their origins were. If things continued like this, I am afraid that there would be no need for Jiannu to attack again, and the entire Ming Dynasty would be wiped out by its own people.This is why the Eight Great Families are looking for new agents.

"We are just a merchant. We buy low and buy high. We will sell whichever side offers the highest price." Fan Yongdou said disdainfully: "As for other periods, those scholars and officials are in charge. Things, what does it have to do with us? The so-called winner is king. If the Jin army went south and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, would Yue Fei still be called a hero and accept other people's worship? Just like now, since we are with Jiannu We have communicated for a long time, so we should just help Jiannu. More than ten years later, Jiannu enters the customs and unifies the world, then we will be the heroes of the court, and it is common to be conferred with marquis. At that time, who can say that we What? They only praise us for our vision and look at us with jealous eyes, can they do other things?"

"Brother Fan is right." Tian Shenglan laughed loudly after hearing this, slapped her thigh fiercely and said, "Yes, that's the way to do it. Huh, don't look at us now at home, we have a lot of promises, and we hold ten thousand family wealth in our hands." , but in front of those officials, they are not careful. These guys are vicious wolves who eat people and don't spit out their bones. The reason why we are honored as guests is because of the money in our pockets. All the yamen servants will trouble us." Zhai Tang said coldly.

"This is the difference. In the eyes of such an imperial court, we will never be on the stage. They will only value scholars." Fan Yongdou said disdainfully: "It's those generals. If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about this Hou Shilu! The commander-in-chief of a town, the very famous general Zhenshuo in the imperial court, isn’t he cautious in front of the governor? These civil servants don’t even care about their colleagues, how can they still value us? But Jiannu’s side It's different, they were originally a group of savages, and it was with our help that tea, salt, grain, and even pig iron weapons were continuously transported to the past, and they were able to have what they are today. We have helped them, and they will remember it in their hearts. We are the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and the heroes. In the future, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty will remember our kindness. Our status will also be greatly improved. After going out, even the governor has to be careful. In this way, we are sitting on tens of millions of wealth, and those officials will not dare to act rashly. More importantly, our descendants can also enter and leave the officialdom. Our Eight Great Families will continue to prosper forever, can such a thing be done in the current imperial court?" Fan Yongdou's words were deafening, and the members of the Eight Great Families present all nodded.

Aren't these earning tens of millions of wealth just to make yourself live a better life and make your children and grandchildren live a more chic life?However, in the Ming Dynasty, one had to be careful not to offend any governor and minister, and to make friends with the dignitaries in the court. Every year, they would send a lot of money, which caused the eight families to lose a lot. Participating in the imperial examination to become an official has no status at all in the upper class. How can these eight families bear it?That's why they are like this. Since they can't get anything from the Ming Dynasty, they can simply get it from Jiannu. As long as Jiannu wins in the end, will anyone in the world say that the Eight Great Families are shameless and betrayed the interests of the nation?They would only say that the Eight Great Families had great vision, and they immediately selected the True Dragon Emperor.

"It's just that this silver wolf came at the wrong time. Originally, the old man was still thinking about when to persuade Lin Danhan to let him go east, so as to expel Li Xin from the Zhuosutu League. In this way, our business travelers can enter Liaodong without any delay. It's unimpeded." Fan Yongdou showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.The Fan family has a big business, and only a small part of their money is earned in the Central Plains, while a large part is earned from the princes and ministers in the grasslands. Lin Danhan is old and likes luxury even more. Porcelain from the Central Plains, Rare and rare treasures such as Shu brocade were sold to the grassland by the eight major families in exchange for gold, silver, horses and other precious items in the Central Plains, and a large amount of money was made in it. The advantage is that the relationship with Lin Danhan has improved a lot, so the business trips of the eight major families can also flow unimpeded in Lin Danhan.

"It's not too difficult to exterminate Li Xin. All you need is money." Di Tang said with a smile: "There are mostly desperadoes in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many horse bandits there are on the grassland. With enough money, these people can be gathered together and let them attack Li Xin. As for the silver wolf in front of us, it is even easier. The horse bandits on board can even dispatch officers and soldiers, so that no matter how capable the Perak Villa is, it is impossible to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers."

"This is the only way to go now." Tian Shenglan also nodded, and finally landed on Fan Yongdou, saying: "I don't know who Brother Fan is going to send this time?"

"Let Sanba go." Fan Yongdou thought for a while and said without hesitation.

"Are you thinking highly of Silver Wolf?" Tian Shenglan's complexion changed a little when he heard the words. This Fan Sanba was none other than Fan Yongdou's most outstanding son. He was young but very knowledgeable. Some people speculated that Fan Yongdou would definitely Pass on his family business to Fan Sanba.It can be said that Fan Sanba is Fan Yongdou's legitimate son. If something happened to Fan Sanba in Perak Villa, Fan Yongdou might even feel like crying.

"Sooner or later, this family business will be handed over to him. Didn't I also experience countless hardships back then? This is how I created this family business. If Sanba doesn't make contributions, how can I convince the public?" Fan Yongdou Shaking his head, he said: "Besides, if the silver wolf has great ambitions, he probably won't take Sanba to heart. If he has no ambitions, he can use money to bribe him. So he won't harm Sanba even more. I have to say that this Fan Yongdou is a powerful old guy. Although he seems to let his son take risks on the surface, he can basically guess everything. It can be said that Fan Sanba went to the meeting this time. Li Xin is basically not in any danger.

"That's fine." Tian Shenglan and the others also nodded. Although the Eight Great Families also had some fights secretly, once the survival of the Eight Great Families was involved, they would still work together to deal with foreign enemies. Li Xin is now a foreign enemy. The silver wolf who is close at hand is also a formidable enemy, forcing the eight great families to treat them with caution.

But what they didn't know was that just over a dozen miles away in the mansion of the general of the Xuanfu, the general of the Xuanfu and General Zhenshuo Hou Shilu was in the study, gently wiping his precious sword. After half a ring, he saw a The young man walked in.I saw this young man with a hulking back and a strong waist, extremely heroic, but it was his son Hou Gongji.

"Father." Hou Gong cupped his hands respectfully.

"You're not in the general's mansion, what are you doing here?" Hou Shilu is the most powerful general in the world, holding a treasured sword at this time, full of murderous aura, looking around, extremely mighty.
