267. Sand
Of course, this is great news, Liao affairs are getting worse and worse in the eyes of the discerning people, of course, the Ming Dynasty is to prohibit the trade of the Jurchens, and the Mongols are gradually tightened, in the history of the Apocalypse to Chongzhen, there are several ministers who have a strict ban on Mongolian trade, and later said that the Mongols were forced away, and later Yuan Chonghuan was killed on a major charge that he sold grain to several Mongolian tribes without authorization when he was in office, of course, Lord Yuan's idea is to buy these tribes to work for themselves to deal with the Jurchens, whether it will be effective, there is no historical verification, it's not easy to say.
Historically, the Jin merchants really began to smuggle Mongolia and the Jurchens at this time, a large amount of grain and cloth, medicinal materials, including military intelligence were continuously sold to Liaodong, and even the Jurchens wrote solicitation letters to Li Zicheng were carried out by the smuggling caravans of the Jin merchants, after the Qing Dynasty was settled, the Jin merchants became the imperial merchants of the Internal Affairs Office is the remuneration given to them by the Qing court, of course, these people also made a lot of wealth, if Zhang Han really monopolized this route, it is conceivable that this income can only be millions or even higher.
But the worst thing is that Zhang Han is seriously short of silver now, and he can't prepare too many goods without silver, and if the Mongols need a lot of goods next year, Zhang Han can't give them out...... It's too much fun.
Branches and account bureaus in various places, mules and horse shops, don't worry too much about these, except for a few new routes to invest, the rest of the places are collecting money, and it is unlikely to open up new routes before Zhang Han's strength breaks through, but the stalls here in Li Zhuang are too big, and the goods going to the grassland may also be a large number...... At least for the time being, the current silver has to support the expenses of the off-season for several months, plus the hoarding of a large number of goods and the deployment of personnel and materials to the grassland, it is really a bit overwhelming.
What's more critical is that the three bureaus are preparing to build more machines and produce a large number of items for sale according to Zhang Han's arrangement, which requires the cooperation of the business and a lot of capital.
Sun Jingting smiled bitterly: "I heard that Chang Wei burned hundreds of thousands of dollars in a fire, and at that time I praised him for acting decisively at a young age, and now I can't wait to hang him up and beat him." ”
Li Dongxue said: "Young Master Chang is right in this matter, if it weren't for this, we would have to continue to spend time with the Fan family......"
Zhang Han said with a smile: "This is the right reason, the Mongols, if you can't do it, you can still ask Chang Wei to run, we will win and get hurt, they also have to figure out this layer, change people again, and do it again?" And those tartars don't want food, cloth, and herbs? Besides, we don't have nothing on hand, we can raise it slowly, and we also have more ideas to realize what we have on hand, and the silver will naturally come. ”
Sun Jingting said: "We are worried to death, but you are very relaxed." ”
Zhang Han said: "Everything is nothing more than a top word, no matter how difficult it is, what can it become, it was so difficult before, and now that we have won, we are afraid?" ”
Zhang Han didn't cheer up these two people, in fact, he just thought so, he still had some silver on hand, and there would be an income before the year, although a lot of silver money was used everywhere, and the available money was also for making money money, not for waste...... He felt that things were going well now, at least he had won!
As for the Fan family, Fan Yongdou, the existence that wanted to look up to himself in the forty-fifth year of Wanli, what is certain now is that Fan Yongdou and his Fan family are definitely finished!
This time the business war was won very thoroughly, and it was also a serious business method, he did not send people to assassinate and assassinate, and did not use the power of officialdom, now even if the Fan family wants to use their official connections, who wants to touch this bag and carry this big black cauldron?
Winning is winning, winning or losing is so simple, the people on the grassland see this matter more clearly, they feel that Zhang Han won, Fan Yongdou lost, Su Nang and Bu Nang lost, so they supported Zhang Han, there is no morality and face, everything is so simple and direct.
The Fan family on Daming's side is estimated to take a breather for a while, but Zhang Han estimates that it will not be long, and he has won this battle, and it is estimated that business will be smoother next year...... The human heart is like this, although it will not be as naked as the Mongols, but the final result will not be much different!
……
After nearly a month, Zhou Daniu looked at it, and when he came over with Yu Shiqian and others, the Cangshan Mountain, which was still a little green, was shrouded in a snow-white...... Recently, there have been several heavy snowfalls, and although it has been sunny for a few days, it is very cold on the top and bottom of the mountain, and new heavy snow has fallen before the snow has barely melted, and the whole mountain is full of snow white, and there is hardly any other color to be seen.
Along the way, some villages were shrouded in snow, and if it weren't for some messy footprints and ruts at the head of the village, and the smoke wafting from the village, I am afraid that I would not have felt any human traffic at all.
"From here, go down the road, detour about ten miles is a town, and then from there you can hire chariots and horses to Guangling City, where there are mules and horses with Yusheng, and now mules and horses also take passengers and carry people, a hundred big money a station, a station thirty miles, Chengfang You have more than 2,000 Jiajing gold back money in your backpack, and it is enough to give eighty. The fare for this road is also enough, you have a whole silver ingot of fifty taels, more than thirty taels of broken silver, this way can be very comfortable to Beijing, when you arrive in Beijing, someone will naturally connect with you, how to go to Guangning will also be arranged, I will be responsible for sending it here, and then you go by yourself. ”
A person from the Military Intelligence Bureau took Cheng Fang and Zhou Da Niu out of the house, on a cold day, everyone was wrapped very tightly, and most of their faces were covered, and this person's appearance was not very clear, but he was very clear about the situation of Zhou Da Niu and Cheng Fang, he knew everything about it, and he was very familiar with the road situation, and even the hearts of the people in the city, and some details along the way were given detailed instructions, as long as Cheng Fang was not stupid like a pig, he must be able to easily arrive in Beijing and Guangning as instructed.
"Cheng Fang, we know your details very clearly." The person from the Military Intelligence Bureau said again: "Don't do stupid things, thinking that you will flee home when you arrive in Liaodong, if you want your family to be safe, you better do things according to our arrangement...... As long as you repay the kindness of adults with your achievements, your family will not only be safe, but also enjoy happiness in the future. Look at Li Zhuang's up and down, and Yusheng's up and down, which one doesn't follow the adults and the whole family to live well. ”
This person still has no emotion when he speaks, his words are very flat, and his threatening words are like small talk between friends, but both Cheng Fang and Zhou Daniu know very well that the other party is not lying, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has checked them out in the past month, and even asked about the things when they were young, and repeatedly compared the details, and even the things that they themselves couldn't remember clearly gradually became clear under the combing of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the contradictions in their language were repeatedly taken out and re-questioned, until Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang combed their memories without flaws.
Such a high-intensity interrogation lasted for a long time, which also made the two people physically and mentally exhausted, and then when their spirits collapsed to the most nervous, things suddenly changed, Zhang Han personally met the two, and some of the grievances and resentments in the hearts of the two were melted away...... Regardless of whether they are guilty or not, it is really enough to be tortured by soft knives for so long, if they didn't think about their relatives at home, and they have been exiled here for thousands of miles, and their minds are far stronger than ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have been driven crazy by the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau with interrogation.
The next step is to make specific arrangements for them...... Zhou Daniu was arranged back to Yu Shiqian's subordinates, but there was no need to use any excuse to escape, the Military Intelligence Bureau had already contacted Yu Shiqian in advance, Zhou Daniu was released after being detained, and there were several bandit leaders from the border army who were released back at the same time, but they were all single-line back, everyone did not contact each other, and they did not know who the other party was, of course, it is impossible to know whether they also joined the Military Intelligence Bureau to work for Zhang Han like Zhou Daniu and Cheng Fang...... Now all they think about is that they must not be detained and interrogated again, which is something they cannot stand no matter what.
Cheng Fang was arranged to go on a business trip to Guangning, he is a Liao, although he is a hereditary military household of Shenyang Zhongwei, but it is much more convenient to act in Liaodong with the identity of the border army of Liaozhen, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has recently focused on operating Liaodong, also because of the strength to be able to meddle in the identity of Liaodong, and there are still people who were sent to Liaodong like Cheng Fang, but like Zhou Daniu, Cheng Fang does not know who else has been sent back, and what kind of situation is it in Liaodong now.
"In the lower province, everything is done according to the instructions from above."
"Good."
The people from the Military Intelligence Agency nodded and said: "You have also been trained by the Military Intelligence Agency for more than ten days, how to track, counter-track, collect intelligence, report intelligence, and some necessary things You have been trained, of course, it is very simple, so you had better take a look at the brochure we gave you along the way, although it is a big road, but it can be said that Jinyiwei is good, Dongchang, and Jiannu's fine work is far less than ours, Chengfang, if you want to achieve something in the future, it is best to use more energy on this." ”
Before leaving, the military intelligence bureau did send Cheng Fang a pamphlet, a white cover, which was full of some of the most basic common sense things of spies.
They are all trained, but the biggest problem is that the time is too short, there are some things that are stuffed into their heads, and there is no way, the military intelligence is in a hurry to employ people, so it can only be so simple and rude.
"Say goodbye."
Cheng Fang was in a hurry to return to Liaodong, he glanced at Zhou Daniu deeply, and everything was silent about each other.
Zhou Daniu's eyes were a little moist, he looked at Cheng Fang's distant back, and couldn't help the emotions in his heart for a while.
From enlisting in Shenyang, Yang Hao swore to the division, followed the general soldier of Juniper and the squad officer Yang Yi to Salhu, the bloody battle under the cliff of Jilin, Kaiyuan escaped with iron blood, and then all the way to Shaanxi, Shanxi, and then to Datong, thousands of miles have been supporting each other, at this time they have actually exceeded ordinary brotherly feelings, brothers and relatives may turn against each other because of the fight for property, for Zhou Daniu, as long as there is a need, the life of the family can also be given to Cheng Fang at any time.

There were a lot of things in the past, and the update really can't be fixed, and I still beg to understand and forgive.
Have you bought New Year's goods? Today, I was dragged out by my wife and ran for a day, and I could buy lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, and blessing characters.
