……

That night, Dong Ce slept peacefully, and Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong went out after eating, sneaky, and they didn't have to guess to know what to do-

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two of them to bring a sister back, tossing for most of the night, the next day, Dong Ce didn't get up early, it was almost eight o'clock before they got up, and after a while they yawned and came out, and they also hugged the yawning woman in their arms.

Sister loves pretty, this is never wrong, when the two women saw such a handsome Lang Jun as Dong Ce, their eyes lit up, and they stepped forward to talk.

Shi Jin snorted coldly: "There are no rules, our father-in-law can also be touched by you?" ”

He threw out a small piece of broken silver: "Go, go!" ”

The woman took the silver, snorted dissatisfiedly, glanced at him, twisted her slender waist and left, and did not forget to turn around and tease Dong Ce with her watery beautiful eyes.

But Dong Ce didn't care about this at all.

Zhou Zhong was much more gentle, and whispered to the woman for a while, he was young and heroic, and his figure was tall and not ugly, and the sister seemed to like him. Zhou Zhong gave her a piece of silver but let her refuse, but gave Zhou Zhong a sachet when he left, held his hand and talked for a while.

She saluted Dong Ce, but didn't look at him much.

Zhou Zhong looked at her in a daze, a little stunned.

"What's wrong?" Shi Jin touched his nose and walked up to him with a smile: "Aren't you tempted?" This is a sister, not a serious person, if you really want to be tempted, you will suffer. ”

Zhou Zhong shook his head and didn't speak.

Dong Ce waved his hand: "Don't talk about these useless things, let's go, go down to eat!" ”

After the three of them had eaten, they walked towards the city gate, and the bags were all in the house, and no thief dared to steal such things. It's just that none of the three of them carried a short knife in their arms to defend themselves, and it is estimated that they will not need it.

Yanghe City, Hongwu 31 years brick construction, Wanli 30 years rebuilt. The circumference of the city is nine miles and two minutes, and it is three feet high and seven feet high. Sixty miles to Tiancheng in the east, fifteen miles to the wall in the north, thirty miles to Jinglu Fort in the west, and thirty miles to Baidenbao in the south. Stationed in Yanghe Road, the army in the military gate, the left and right guerrillas, the capital division, the same knowledge, and the garrison. The inner garrison had 9,109 men and 5,960 horses and mules. It is divided into 19 miles on the side, 38 side piers, and 28 fire road piers.

Yanghe City should be regarded as the largest city in the north of Datong Town, with a large city and a large population, with more than 300,000 people.

In addition to the above, this is the residence of a great man - the governor of Xuanda.

The governor of Xuanda is an out-and-out important minister of the Ming Dynasty, a feudal official, and a powerful figure who can be counted in the imperial court. Its official title is 'Governor Xuanda Shanxi and other military affairs and food and salary', and has jurisdiction over three Fu and three towns, that is, the governor of Datong, the governor of Xuanfu, the governor of Shanxi, and the general army of Datong Town, the general soldier of Shanxi Town, and the general soldier of Xuanfu Zhen. There are two important towns under his jurisdiction, and it can be said that the entire Shanxi and northwestern Hebei regions, the military and political power, are all in the hands of the governor of Xuanda.

The city is high and deep, the population is large, and when Dong Ce and the others go out, the sun is already shining, which is a rare good weather. The city gates have long been opened, and this time is the time when there are merchants and people.

The three of them are still dressed up yesterday, but they are not conspicuous, Yanghe City is full of literary style, there are many scholars, and there have been some people who have been promoted.

It's just that when he arrived at the city gate, Dong Ce glanced at his eyes and couldn't help frowning.

There are also a few soldiers guarding the city gate, but the mandarin duck battle jacket on his body is old and dirty, and he is also vegetable, and he is not so weak, obviously the combat effectiveness can be ignored at all. The city gate guards were still like this, let alone the rest of the soldiers.

Dong Ce suddenly had an idea in his mind, when his family members trained for some more time, I was afraid that they would be able to defeat this Yanghe City.

A table was set up at the gate of the city, and a clerk dressed as a clerk sat in the back, and a few soldiers stood next to him, collecting taxes.

Dong Ce looked at it for a while, the pedestrians who didn't take anything with their hands empty were a penny, and the hawkers who went in to buy vegetables and sell oil with their burdens were three pennies, and as for the people who came to the city to sell soju from the pot village outside the city, and the merchants who came from the south to the north paid more. On the contrary, some larger-scale caravans swaggered directly over, and the clerk not only did not dare to collect money, but nodded and saluted, obviously they were all merchants with heels, either rich or expensive.

Dong Ce calculated, these four city gates, at the end of a day, really have a lot of inputs. He stood here for a short time, and the bamboo basket in the book's hand had gone from empty to full of money.

Zhou Zhong was a little stunned, but Dong Ce said lightly: "Pay the money honestly, we are here to do things, not to cause trouble." ”

Shi Jin went to pay the money, and the bookstore glanced at Dong Ce, but he smiled lowly, returned the money to him, and said with a smile: "The son just needs to enter the city." ”

Dong Ce also smiled and clenched his fists, and the three of them were about to enter the city, when suddenly there was a shout behind them: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the carriage and horses have no eyes, and they deserve to be killed!" ”

Dong Ce's voice looked back, but saw that a huge caravan was preparing to enter the city.

The caravan was full of mule carts and horse-drawn carts that were six or seven feet long, and the materials were piled up high, and the outside was covered with felt cloth, and I didn't know what it was transporting. At a glance, the convoy stretched endlessly, and I didn't know how many carts there were and how many supplies were transported on them. The wagons used in the convoy look very sturdy, and they are specially made, and the horses and mules that pull the carts are also shiny and shiny, and they are very well maintained. The drivers in the car were all wearing the same cyan clothes and hats, and they looked very energetic.

Next to the convoy, there were also horseback guards dressed in black and with a fierce look, who acted very unscrupulously, directly holding their swords in their hands, and waving them back and forth like demonstrative. The pedestrians around them all dodged one after another, and some of them screamed in fright when they saw the sword, and the guards burst into a joking laugh.

On the big car at the front of the convoy, there was a big flag, and the big flag was written with the two big characters 'Fan Ji'.

This kind of style, such an arrogant momentum, at a glance, you know that it is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

The one who shouted just now was a man in his thirties at the front of the convoy, he was wearing a green satin dress, only medium in length, but his face was full of flying and domineering, as if Lao Tzu was the first in the world, and it was annoying to look at.

"Childe, get out of the way." The clerk cautioned.

Dong Ce and the three of them walked to the side of the city gate to avoid it, and Zhou Zhong scolded in a low voice.

"Brother, please." Dong Ce bowed his hand to the bookstore.

"Don't dare, don't dare." The clerk quickly raised his butt and returned the salute.

"In the next place, I am a native of Jinxi, and I have traveled to the three Jins, and I have gone to a lot of places, but I have never seen such a businessman." Dong Ce sent a gentle and elegant scholar to be: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, what is the origin of this Fan Ji?" ”

"I don't dare to be called a brother."

The secretary was a down-and-out literati who didn't even have fame, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice and said: "Gongzi doesn't know, this Fan Ji's eldest master is Fan Yongdou Fan's big official." Fan Daguan's foundation is in Xuanfu Zhangjiakou, but it is a good business, the entire Xuanfu Datong is needless to say, it is the southwest of Shandong, the north of Henan, and even Hebei have the industry of Fan Daguan, that is really like a sea of gold and silver to collect cash! ”

"Look at this scene, it's actually not worth mentioning compared to the Fan family's industries." The secretary snorted at the convoy: "I'm used to seeing it these days, the Fan family is like this every year, first transporting things from all over the country to Yanghe City, staying here, and then picking a day to go out of the customs." ”

Fan family, Fan Yongdou is it?

Dong Ce had a smile on his face, nodded slightly, but his eyes were cold.

Fan Yongdou, this name is not unfamiliar to him.

This is the head of the eight traitor businessmen, in Dong Ce's time and space, relying on the eight traitors who sold their ancestors to develop, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Shunzhi also specially set up a banquet in the palace to entertain them, and gave them clothing, and gave them official rewards. The eight traitors were flattered and tried their best to refuse. As a result, Shunzhi made them imperial merchants subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Fan Yongdou was appointed to preside over trade affairs and "give Zhangjiakou as a world business". The other seven also have their own rewards. Since then, Fan Yongdou and others have obtained political and economic privileges that other businessmen cannot enjoy. He not only procured goods for the royal family, but also took advantage of the situation to open up a wide range of financial channels and start trading all over the world. In addition to operating the salt industry in Hedong and Changlu, he also monopolized the market for ginseng and other valuable medicinal materials in Ussuri and Suifen in Northeast China, so he was also called "ginseng business" by the people. In the blink of an eye, Fan Yongdou became a great emperor businessman with millions of riches, and he was the best of the eight families.

When his grandson Fan Yu was in his lifetime, he transferred military rations for the Manchu court, and was actually named a servant of the Imperial Palace, and he was used in second-grade clothes. Fan Yu died in the fifteenth year of Qianlong, and became the only businessman to enter the "Qing History Manuscript".

Relying on the sale of ancestors to glorify these hundreds of years, people seem to be worth it.

After the caravan had entered, Dong Ce thanked the clerk, and the three of them followed into the city.

The huge procession headed north along the central axis street, and Dong Ce said in a low voice: "Let's follow." ”

Shi Jin was a little surprised: "My lord, aren't we going on this trip?" ”

"It's fine." Dong Ce waved his hand: "Anyway, it won't take much time." Shi Jin didn't say anything anymore, and Dong Ce and the three of them walked through the crowd, not causing anyone else's idea at all. And the target is such a large caravan, there is no possibility of losing it. After marching to the drum tower in the center of the city, the caravan turned northwest. They passed through three more avenues, and finally came to a large mansion in the northwest of the city, against the city walls.
