Chapter 83 Fan Wencheng's Consciousness
Chang Guoyu was sitting in the living room of Fan Xiaoshan's house calmly.
There are no extra accessories on the whole body, just a plain Tsing Yi.
Although I have been sitting in the living room for a long time, I don’t feel impatient at all.
Fan's shopkeeper sat on the side, drinking some water that had lost the taste of tea, and kept looking at the inner house.
"Shopkeeper Chang, you've been negligent, you've been negligent. My master occasionally caught a cold, so I'll allow my master to drink medicine and sweat before he apologizes."
Chang Guoyu said with a smile: " As for the old shopkeeper, Mr. Fan is delicate and expensive, so it’s natural for me to rest for a while. As a junior, it doesn’t matter if I wait a little longer.
I heard that Mr. Fan urgently purchased a batch this time. Qingbai, why didn't you contact me, Hengtong? We have been friends for many years. If you don't make money for us, it seems that we did something careless. Chang came here this time to apologize.
Look at what I didn’t do well in Hengtong Hao. I can improve it in the future.”
Shopkeeper Fan smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Xiao Chang can also see the small business of 30,000 to 50,000 kilograms. "Where?"
Chang Guoyu smiled and said: "Old shopkeeper, Chang has only been in Zhangjiakou for two months, and he lost a business just after he came. This makes me restless. Mr. Fan told me We are an old friend. When I came here, my boss said that even if we don’t make money, we must maintain our relationship with Fan.
For our boss, this relationship is more important than a mere silver. "
The old shopkeeper chuckled and said: "That's right, that's right..."
While the two of them were talking indifferently, Fan Xiaoshan finally left the inner house. After coming out, Chang Guoyu quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Hengtong called Chang Guoyu to come and apologize."
Fan Xiaoshan sat at the top, glanced at Chang Guoyu, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea and said: "How did shopkeeper Xiao Chang know that my family, Fan, used tens of thousands of kilograms of highland barley?"
Chang Guoyu smiled bitterly and said: "The highland barley you brought in from Furui Hao at night will be gone at dawn." I used this as a brand to make fun of my Hengtong account.
I’ve been doing a lot of internal research these days, but I haven’t found anything bad about Hengtong account that made Mr. Fan abandon us.
p>
The boy was so frightened by your actions that he came to apologize. If Chang Guoyu did not do well, please resign and let the boss send a shopkeeper who suits your taste. I only ask Mr. Fan not to abandon me. Just the Hengtong account. "
Fan Xiaoshan waved his hand and said: "Guoyu, you are overthinking it. I only need some highland barley for brewing at home, which is only 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. It is not worth earning your Hengtong account. It's cheaper.
Go back and tell Shopkeeper Yun that the business between Fan and Yun is solid and there won't be any setbacks."
Chang Guoyu just did it at this time. He straightened up, cupped his hands and said, "That's it, that's it, that's good, that's good. Master Fan, your words saved this kid's life.
This is the Yunwu tea that Xiaohao specially purchased from Qinling Mountains. It is the most refreshing and refreshing. Please give it a try, Mr. Fan. "
Fan Xiaoshan looked at the jar of good tea that Chang Guoyu brought over, sighed and said to the old shopkeeper: "Old Liao, learn a little bit, look at how the Yun family does business. The profit from 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of highland barley may not be as valuable as a jar of tea.
No wonder it only took the Yun family five years to secure its position as the third largest businessman in Zhangjiakou. In another two years, our Fan family’s title of number one will also be handed over to the Yun family. . "
Chang Guoyu accompanied him with a smile and said: "How dare you, how dare you, the Yun family is doing business from Guanzhong to Zhangjiakou, and you, the Fan family, are the experts who specialize in foreign trade.
The Yun family in Zhangjiakou is just a meal for you, Mr. Fan. "
Fan Xiaoshan was happy to hear this and waved his hands and said: "Go back. This year's autumn sorghum needs to be managed by shopkeeper Xiao Chang. We can't afford to delay the supply of military rations for the nine sides. "
Chang Guoyu agreed repeatedly. Fan Xiaoshan looked out the door regretfully and returned to the inner house.
Farewell to Shopkeeper Liao, Chang Guoyu stood for a moment at Fan's door and saw A man carrying a load selling watermelons came to Fan's door and hurriedly walked to the Hengtong No. 1 at the end of the street.
After entering the Hengtong No. 1, Chang Guoyu went straight to the guest room in the backyard. Xue Guocai stood in front of the window and looked at Chang Guoyu coldly.
Chang Guoyu bowed his hands to Xue Guocai in shame and said: "There is something wrong here. Twenty days ago, Fan Xiaoshan bought something at Furui." Twenty-eight thousand kilograms of highland barley was brought in, saying it was for brewing highland barley wine. The quantity was not large. This happened every year, so we didn’t pay attention. We didn’t expect that this batch of highland barley would be mixed with poison by Fan and sent to Chile. Sichuan. "
Xue Guocai said: "Did you find anything?
Chang Guoyu said: "I was sitting in Fan's living room for nearly an hour. Shopkeeper Liao said that Fan Xiaoshan had a cold. When he came out, he had no symptoms of a cold. I think he must be with important people." characters, this needs further verification.
In addition, when Fan Xiaoshan was talking to me, he couldn't help but look outside three times, probably waiting for someone.
I thought. We need to block the road outside the entrance, and at least find out who Fan Xiaoshan and others are. "
Xue Guocai sighed and said: "We were careful, but in the end we almost made a mistake. If General Gao hadn't been cautious, we would have suffered a big loss this time.
What you are doing is the work of sentinels, so don’t dare to be careless.
Chang Guoyu said: "I will arrange for people to check Fan's mansion to see who the mysterious guest is. I don't believe that this person can't be found." "
Xue Guocai saw that Chang Guoyu was about to leave, so he whispered: "Qian Shaoshao thinks that the people coming are none other than Ning Wanme and Fan Wencheng. Even if they are not these two people, they must be the ones who come." He is a man from the Ming Dynasty in the past. ”
Chang Guoyu gritted his teeth and said, “I won’t let anyone go this time.”personal. "
Fan Xiaoshan returned to the inner house. Fan Wencheng was sitting at the desk reading. When he heard the news of Fan Xiaoshan's return, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Who is here? "
Fan Xiaoshan said: "The second shopkeeper of Hengtong No. 2. "
"What is he here for? "
"Ask me why I don't buy highland barley from Hengtonghao. I must buy it from elsewhere. I dismissed it with a few words. "
Fan Wencheng looked up at Fan Xiaoshan and said, "Didn't you say that you buy 30,000 kilograms of highland barley to make wine every year? "
Fan Xiaoshan said: "That's true. We used to buy it from the Hengtong Hao. This time, in order to hide it from others, we bought the highland barley from the Furui Hao. "
After hearing Fan Xiaoshan's words, Fan Wencheng's face immediately turned cold. He looked at Fan Xiaoshan and said, "Confused! ”
Fan Xiaoshan was taken aback and stood up quickly, at a loss.
Having been doing business with the Qing Dynasty for a long time, he still knew a little about Fan Wencheng’s status in the Qing Dynasty.
This man was Huang Taiji's close confidant.
In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, when the Eight Banners Army came to Fushun, Fan Wencheng and his brother took the initiative to submit to Houjin and paid homage to Nurhaci in Fushun. He was ashamed to be a Ming Dynasty man.
Nurhaci captured Shenyang and Liaoyang in the sixth year of Tianming, and attacked Xiping and entered Guangning in the seventh year. Fan Wencheng joined the army and became one of the few study officials of Nurhachi. /p>
In October of the third year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji (then known as "Tiancong Khan") led more than 50,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, broke into the fortress from Xifengkou, entered Jimen, and conquered Zunhua .
Fan Wencheng was known as the "Study Official" when he was in the Han Dynasty, but he did not have an official title.
Although he was a Confucian scholar, he had a dignified appearance and a tall physique. He is very much like a tiger general, and he is not afraid in battle. When he accompanied the army on the campaign, he fought bravely, was good at tactics, and was eloquent. Therefore, he made great achievements, such as "recruiting Panjiakou, Malanyu, Shantunying, and Malanguan". , Da'ankou Five Cities".
The Ming army besieged Da'ankou City, and he "put on armor and forced the formation", "led the gunners and artillerymen, and killed many Han people."
Eleven On the 11th day of the month, Huang Taiji led his army to attack Beijing. He stayed in the army with General Ying Erdai, guerrilla Li Sizhong and Wen Cheng, and eight hundred troops to garrison in Zunhua in the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing army came to attack, "the forward of the Qing army was surrounded, and Fan Wencheng broke out and fought hard to help." Due to his outstanding military achievements, Fan Wencheng was awarded the rank of guerrilla in August of the fifth year of Tiancong. The Ming Dynasty attacked Dalinghe City again, with an army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops besieging Dalinghe City. On the tenth day of the lunar month, Fan Wencheng went to Shantai in the west of the city to persuade them to surrender. "Ride alone to the platform and learn the details at dawn." After hearing this, the guards stepped down and surrendered. Among them were one soldier, seventy-two men, seventeen women, two horses, twenty-four cattle, and donkeys. On the twenty-first day, Khan "immediately paid Wen Cheng the beast"
In April of the sixth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji led troops to conquer Chahar. Lin Dan Khan heard about it and led his people to escape. Wanting to use troops in Taitong, Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng and his colleague Ning WanMa Guozhu and I thought that it would be better to attack Shanhaiguan if we entered the Xuan Mansion.
In late May, Huang Taiji was stationed in Guihua City, sent troops to plunder Mongolian and Han people in the Yellow River area, and ordered officials of the literary library to discuss the next step of action.
On the fifth day of June, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and Ma Guozhu presented a memorial together, strongly advocating the use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, and a large-scale invasion of the capital.
Although Huang Taiji did not adopt it after weighing the situation, Fan Wencheng completely fell into Huang Taiji's eyes.
This is a man who relied on his military exploits and civil administration to truly climb from the lowest level to the position of an important minister of the Qing Dynasty step by step.
Although Fan Xiaoshan thought he had merit, he did not dare to have the slightest resentment in front of this person.
"Mr. Wen Cheng, could I have done something wrong?"
Fan Wencheng sneered and said: "You smart fool, let me ask you, the owner behind the Hengtong number Who is it?"
"Yunshi, Lantian, Shaanxi!"
"Yunshi?"
"In my opinion, a very capable county magistrate. Come on, this county magistrate is also a person who dares not to be subdued. He is almost independent in Lantian County.
I am still thinking about whether I can invite this person to join us. ”
Example article. Cheng looked at Fan Xiaoshan coldly and said, "Do you think that if you and I become obedient subjects of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, others should also become obedient subjects of the Manchu Qing Dynasty like us?"
Fan Xiaoshan said: "This man's family was a bandit, but he later cleaned up his ass, and took the opportunity to become a county magistrate when Hong Chengchou offered rewards to recruit bandits in Guanzhong.
How could such a person be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty? I think I You can recruit them, at least give them a try."
Fan Wencheng smiled mockingly, patted Fan Xiaoshan on the shoulder and said: "Every time someone kills a dog for justice, it's usually a scholar who is unfaithful. p>Xiao Shan, you should remember this sentence. It is easy to recruit scholars, but it is dangerous to recruit dog-slaughterers. Now that you and I are in an awkward position, please don’t cause trouble.
Now, send someone quickly. Pick up the people you sent out. If these people come back alive, it means that this Yun family is just a businessman.
If the people you sent out do not come back alive or disappear, you must join forces immediately. The remaining companies must get rid of the Yun family no matter how much they pay!"
