Fan Xiaoshan, the seventh one of the eight bandits

As soon as the sun rose from the horizon, the wooden boards on the gate of the Hang Lung were removed by the friend.

Fan Xiaoshan, who had not closed his eyes all night, crossed the threshold and looked at the rising sun in winter and breathed a long breath of turbid air.

A tall camel sniffed in front of him, and slowly passed by the store with the food in his mouth.

Looking at the Mongolian sitting among the hump and looking at the camel cavalry, Fan Xiaoshan's pupils shrank, and he squeezed out a smile and bowed: "Customers are going to leave now?"

The Mongolian snorted, did not respond, nor did they stop their camel caravan, and walked swaying towards the rising sun.

The guy was a little angry when he saw his boss being humiliated. He was about to catch up and argue with the lush Mongolian man, but he was stopped by Fan Xiaoshan.

"Come back, this time I didn't wink at all, and I couldn't blame me for ignoring me."

The guy looked at the goods carried on the camel and sneered: "Boss, the camel is full of sheepskin!

Not worth it!”

Fan Xiaoshan twitched his mouth and said, "Everyone knows that cowhide is more valuable than sheepskin, but he doesn't know that the money we make from sheepskin is far more than cowhide."

Upon hearing this, the guy hurried over and lowered his eyebrows and said, "You teach the younger one."

Fan Xiaoshan gave the guy a blank look and said, "The one who can help you gain abilities is your master and your shopkeeper. What do I do when I do these things."

After saying that, he crawled into the mutton soup restaurant opposite with his hands behind his back.

In the cold winter, there is a bowl of hot mutton soup, soak the hot cakes that have just been baked. After a bowl of them, all the energy and energy will come back.

Today is different. Fan Xiaoshan ate a bowl of mutton soup and two pancakes, but his heart was still cold and he couldn't get warm.

A middle-aged man with short beards came over, took out a sheep's hooves from his bowl and put them into Fan Xiaoshan's empty bowl. He sat opposite him and said with a smile: "Eat with me again!"

Fan Xiaoshan remained indifferent and did not look at the person in front of him. He just lowered his head and pulled out a pipe from his waist. After putting the cigarette in it, he picked up a piece of red carbon from the stove. After lighting the cigarette, he started smoking.

Seeing that Fan Xiaoshan was indifferent, Wang Dengku took off a treasure bag from his waist and threw it on the table and said, "Taste it, the best yellow smoke."

Fan Xiaoshan glanced at the cigarette pipe, exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said, "What, the dry tobacco outside the mouth is not in line with the mouth?"

Have you changed to the Yunnan-Guizhou Road?"

Wang Dengku buried his head in his meal. He heard Fan Changlu’s tone in a sarcastic tone, but he didn’t explain until he ate a bowl of mutton soup and pancakes. Then he wiped his mouth and smiled: “Yellow smoke is also produced at the foot of Changbai Mountain!”

Fan Xiaoshan was surprised and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the store except for the busy shopkeeper, he stood up and said to Wang Dengku, "Go and talk somewhere else!"

Wang Dengku smiled and carefully wrapped the sheep's hooves in the bowl with a handkerchief, and followed Fan Xiaoshan out of the mutton restaurant.

The two walked out of the Xiaobei Gate one after another. Fan Xiaoshan thought for a moment and then stepped on the wall along the gap of the broken city wall.

There were no soldiers guarding the city wall. Wang Dengku pointed to the arrow tower in the distance and looked at the two of them at the watchman who was the two of them and said to Fan Xiaoshan: "These two are also people who eat our meals."

Fan Xiaoshan said quietly: "Ningyuan's victory, His Majesty the Jin Man suffered a heavy blow. Now his soul is beyond heaven. All the beetles and all the beetles are red and staring at the throne. I guess we won't be able to use it for a while.

Our Majesty issued another order to not allow us to do business with the Golden Man. If this continues, it will be extremely difficult for you and I to eat a bowl of mutton soup."

Wang Dengku smiled and said, "Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, and the Emperor of Jin gave his son this name, just to let him take over the throne.

This person has always been dealing with us. This person is capable and open-minded. Has he ever lost one tael of silver for us?

There is now a rumor that the throne of dragons is fighting for the throne is spreading from where? Don’t you know? Do you believe such nonsense?”

Fan Xiaoshan looked at Wang Dengku deeply and whispered: "Who gave you so much confidence?"

Wang Dengku held one hand on his back and pointed to the southeast Beijing city with the other hand and said: "The emperor likes to do carpenter work. After seven years of being an emperor, he has done carpenter work for seven years and handed over all the political affairs to eunuchs. As a result, he attracted heaven's punishment, and tens of thousands of people turned into ashes with a loud bang.

Do you think there is still a rescue in such a country?”

Fan Xiaoshan said nothing, but just stared at Wang Dengku in a daze.

Wang Dengku laughed dryly and continued: "Since the implementation of "China and France, you and my brothers have grown grain in this border area to supply military rations to the court, and then taken to the salt field to dry salt to make profits.

Over the years, we have thought that we have not let down the court and the food we supply has supported the soldiers of the nine borders, but how much profit can we make ourselves?

Fan Xiaoshan guards the ancestral industry Changlu Salt Farm, you are drying 60,000 dans of salt every year. How many do you have in your hands?

It's a big joke. If you have salt yourself, you still need to exchange it for food. How can this be the reason in the world?

Do you know what kind of life did the salt merchants in Jiangnan live? They were crowded with servants and maids, and they never tire of eating fine meat and eating, and they were drunk and dreaming of death all day long.

Brother Xiaoshan, where are we? We rode a camel in the wind and snow desert, and we could only get a little profit all year round. Isn’t it because our brothers are not in the court?

Only earn some coolie money!

I have lived enough of this life, and the world is about to be over. It is time for a dynasty to change.

Brother Xiao Shan, please hold your thighs as early as possible. While the Jin people still have some use to us, work harder and make more money. After the Jin people enter the Central Plains in the future, we can also be as rich as the salt merchants in Jiangnan!”

Wang Dengku became more and more excited as he spoke. At the end, he waved his arms and was extremely excited.

Fan Xiaoshan slowly climbed down the city wall and left without looking back.

Wang Dengku shouted on the city wall: "Brother Changlu, whether to succeed or not, give me a truth!"

Fan Xiaoshan stopped and looked back at Wang Dengku on the city wall and said, "It's enough for you to decide everything. I, Fan, only you will follow your lead."

Wang Dengku quickly slipped down from the earthen city wall, took a few steps and grabbed Fan Changlu's sleeve and said, "You are the backbone of us."

Fan Xiaoshan sneered and said, "You dare to trade even the camel guys I refuse. I think it's better to have you as your backbone!"

Wang Dengku opened his mouth and said, "How dare..." Halfway through his words, seeing the angry face on Fan Changlu's face became even more intense, he hurriedly said, "Only five thousand kilograms of fine iron."

Fan Xiaoshan said: "Which line did you walk?"

Wang Dengku said silly: "You are walking in the west entrance!"

Fan Xiaoshan said furiously: "Are you going to the Shihukou in Shanxi or the Fugukou in Guanzhong?"

Wang Dengku accompanied him to smile and said, "It's Fugukou!"

Fan Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, sat on a large stone, pointed at Zhangjiakou and said, "This place should be abandoned soon. It is too dangerous to walk to the tiger's mouth. Although it is a little farther away from the Fugukou, it is peaceful.

Wang Dengku, listen to me, you must follow this trip, and tell Huang Taiji that our goods can only be delivered to Tumot Mongolia. From then on, we will deliver them to Tumot Mongolia outside the entrance of Fugu. As for how he and the Mongolians are delivered to us, it is not our business."

Wang Dengku smiled bitterly and said, "I am not qualified to meet Huang Taiji? Brother Fan, you have been praised by Nurhaci, you can only take action. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to meet Huang Taiji.

Why don’t we go to your store and discuss it slowly. It’s cold and it’s really not a good place to discuss things!”

Fan Xiaoshan sighed and said, "When talking here, no matter what he says, it will be blown away by the wind. When talking in the house, I am afraid of the disaster of extermination."

Wang Dengku said: "We are merchants!"

Fan Xiaoshan said: "The Ming Dynasty is so bad..."

Wang Dengku smiled and said, "Now, I can only hold silver in my eyes, but the Emperor of Zhu can't even put it in my eyes.

As for the people, it would be better to change the emperor even if Huang Taiji came to Central Plains to be the emperor than the Zhu family!”

Fan Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "You only saw how happy Lu Buwei used the emperor to trade goods back then, but he didn't know that Lu Buwei was powerful all over the world, and he would inevitably get a knife in the neck in the end.

The situation in the world is hard to explain clearly.

I thought Nurhaci could beat Ningyuan with the power of great victory, but who knew that Ningyuan had become his life-seeking Yama.

Do things safely...

Our merchants cannot get up early without profit. If we want us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, who will love us?

In today's Ming Dynasty, the emperor's political affairs were omitted, too lenient with scholars, too strict with common people, and peasants were unable to withstand tyranny, and riots were one after another, and boiling water pots were like lively, pressing the east side, rising from the west side, pressing the west side and rising from the east side, one day I would not be able to cover the lid.

Everyone says that our merchants cannot get up early without profit, and they have no home and country in their hearts, but only seek what they can get.

Over the years, I have seen clearly that the top scholars and Jinshi in the court are traitors.

They don’t care about this country, so don’t blame me for Fan Xiaoshan. They don’t seek to benefit the country and have a penny, but they have a lot of money to believe!

He does not value the survival of the Han people, but only cares about the private interests of his family.

Not to mention that I am a person who seeks small profits and forgets the great righteousness. Nowadays, those who always say great righteousness are really righteousness?

No matter how good the righteousness is, there is no need to be as safe as the money is in my arms!”

After saying these words, Fan Xiaoshan seemed to have exhausted his strength and walked into the small north gate with a slap in the city wall. He slapped a brick by him and pinched it with his hand, and the blue brick was shattered.

Fan Xiaoshan laughed to the sky, pointed to the city wall in Zhangjiakou and said to Wang Dengku: "This should be built by Tian Shenglan's family, right?"

Wang Dengku smiled and said, "The construction of the city guard was undertaken by the four families of Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yongfa. They used 300,000 taels of public funds and 300,000 taels of silver. The guards here asked the emperor for 600,000 taels, and 300,000 taels of money.

When building the city, the four families gave the craftsmen a wide range of wages, and everyone was able to make money and everyone was happy.”

Fan Xiaoshan almost cried and said, "So he was so bad that no one cared about it from beginning to end..."

Seeing that Fan Xiaoshan was in a bad mood, Wang Dengku stepped forward and helped him walk forward slowly. While walking, he said, "It's good for us to make money, it's good for us to make money. Today there is no wind and sand. Why don't we drink a few drinks?"

Fan Xiaoshan pointed at Wang Dengku with a smile and said, "Do you please drink?"

Wang Dengku frowned and said, "I actually don't understand. You and my brother have long been worth a huge fortune, so why do they still live so frugal?

Sometimes even I can’t figure out why I have to wrap a sheep’s hooves with a handkerchief for lunch…”

"The ancestors had a hard time saving money..."

The sun had risen unknowingly, and the sun shone selflessly on everyone, even if Wang Dengku and Fan Xiaoshan were bathed in the sunshine.
