Chapter 71 Ten Years of Internal Strength
"But who can I buy it from?"
Tian Shenglan frowned and said, "We don't know the situation of those people, so to come to them rashly is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a trap."
Those nobles who retired from the country with two hundred years of savings are so huge. They are different from those civil servants from poor backgrounds. People with ordinary money will not look down on them. If they meet someone who is die-hardly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they might just treat them as their own.
The credit goes to the emperor.
"Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo!"
Fan Yongdou said in a deep voice: "My Fan family has been in contact with the Chengguo Duke's Mansion many times, and we have also revealed that we want to join the Chengguo Duke's Mansion. However, our Fan family could not provide many benefits before, and the other party ignored us. Now
With a profit of millions of taels this time, I believe the other party will not be tempted."
"Are you sure?"
Wang Dengku frowned and said, "Don't send any money over there. The other party will sell us back."
Although they are a wealthy family in the eyes of ordinary people, they know their own affairs. They are just smugglers. Even a prefect can ignore them, let alone a prince. The other party is really going to fall out.
If they don't recognize people, they can only stretch their necks to be slaughtered.
On the grassland, they were the guests of various tribes. Even Nurhaci, who beat the Ming Dynasty to shame, was very polite to them. But in the Ming Dynasty, they were the grandsons, and officials with some background could ignore them.
In the face of those high-ranking officials, even if they don't like them, they still have to lick their faces and send money to the door.
"You have to fight it once."
Fan Yongdou shook his head: "If we climb up to the Chengguo Palace, everything we want to do in the future will be much easier, and with the endorsement of the Chengguo Palace, we will not have to do what we do now, whether we raise food or buy soldiers and armor.
Be careful."
Hearing Fan Yongdou's words, the seven people fell into silence. After a long time, Wang Dengku gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Fan, we can pay the money, but the Chengguo Duke's Mansion hopes that Brother Fan will contact you as soon as possible."
The meaning behind the words is very clear. I can provide the money, but your Fan family will handle the contact matters. If something goes wrong, don't involve us.
"good!"
Hearing this, Fan Yongdou nodded. He naturally understood what Wang Dengku meant, but he did not refuse. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Once the Fan family is contacted by the Chengguo Duke's Mansion, then the Chengguo Duke's Mansion will only
If you recognize the Fan family, then everyone else will have to follow the Fan family's lead.
Hearing Fan Yongdou agreed, Wang Dengku and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They also wanted to establish a relationship with the Duke of Chengguo, but they did not have the courage to take this risk. After all, if they were not careful, their family's century-old wealth would be ruined.
It's been burned to the ground, and it's best if the Fan family is willing to come forward.
………
Mengjin Ferry.
"Have you heard? There is a fortune teller coming to the ferry, and his fortune telling is extremely accurate. It is said that he can tell where you will make a fortune just by looking at it."
Two middle-aged men dressed as businessmen walked towards the ferry, and one of them spoke.
"Is it so magical?"
The other person had a look of disbelief. Although fortune telling was not fake, it was hard to find a true master. How could a fortune teller who set up a stall at the ferry have such great skills?
"Old Zhao of West Street Tea Shop, do you know?"
Seeing that his friend didn't believe it, Xiang Shuncai continued: "Two months ago, Lao Zhao was planning to send thousands of kilograms of tea to Jiangnan, but the fortune teller told him that it could be sent to Cao County first to ensure that he would get rich. Lao Zhao was very stubborn.
I want to send him to Jiangnan."
"As a result, the White Lotus riot in Shandong last year caused the Grand Canal to be blocked. The tea from Jiangnan could not be transported to the capital and was all blocked in Jiangnan. As a result, the price of tea in Jiangnan plummeted. Lao Zhao's tea was not good tea, so the price was even lower.
, and he lost money after selling it. Later, Lao Zhao had no choice but to return with the tea. When he passed by Cao County, he remembered the fortune teller’s words and sent the tea to Cao County. There happened to be a shortage of tea in Shandong, so he made a lot of money."
"I asked, why is Lao Zhao always smiling like he's picking up money recently?"
Tian Wen suddenly realized: "Then what are you waiting for? Go find the master and do the math."
When the two came to the ferry, they saw dozens of people lined up in front of a Gua Gua stall. There was also a banner hanging on the Gua Gua stall. On the banner, there was also a saying that the iron mouth is cut straight, rich and poor.
"You have no chance of making a fortune recently, so just go about your business with peace of mind."
At the hexagram stall, an old man with white beard and hair said calmly.
Hearing the old man's words, the man sitting in front of the Gua stall suddenly turned pale, and then left dejectedly. The people behind him quickly sat down, offered a few coins, and then waited quietly for the old man to speak.
After looking at it for a long time, the old man said calmly again: "You have no chance of making a fortune recently."
Soon, a dozen people were criticized by the old man as having no chance of making a fortune, and they got up and left in frustration.
However, there are still a steady stream of businessmen queuing up behind them. For those queuing up, this is normal. If everyone is destined to make a fortune, then this fortune is too worthless.
The old man is exactly what Taoist Master Zhenxuan is pretending to be!
Not far away, He Liu and Jiang Shizhong were wandering around disguised as three idle men, while Su Hao pretended to be a down-and-out scholar and set up a stall next to the Gua stall to write letters for others.
After glancing at Taoist Master Zhenxuan who was very busy, Su Hao took out his water bag and took a sip of the tiger bone wine, and then continued to run the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu. They had been here for three months and had not made any progress.
As for setting up a divination stall here, it was also the idea of Taoist Master Zhenxuan. Although his fortune-telling skills were ranked among the best in the entire Ming Dynasty, he could not judge the life, death, misfortune and fortune of others at a glance, so he finally set up a fortune teller at this ferry.
I set up a divination stall and told fortunes for the merchants who came and went, but in the past three months, except for catching two gangs of water bandits, I had gained nothing.
But for Su Hao, this is not a bad thing. In the past three months, his internal strength has been growing steadily. Now he has ten years of internal strength, and he will reach the third-rate level in a few months.
.
Under the nourishment of internal strength, his physical fitness is now much better than before he practiced the secret art of paper control. As his physical fitness becomes stronger, he can now refine a lot more mana, and his combat power has also improved.
A little bit.
After a while, Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen were lined up. Xiang Shuncai had just sat down. After taking a few glances, Taoist Zhenxuan, who was originally indifferent, suddenly looked stern.
Yintang turns black!
The fierce light of death!
However, Taoist Master Zhenxuan did not expose it directly. Instead, he tapped his fingers on the table a few times, making a clicking sound.
Hearing this voice, Su Hao looked stern. This was the signal that Zhenxuan had agreed with them before. He would send out a signal if he found any merchants he didn't like.
The next moment, Su Hao stood up and walked towards He Liu and the others not far away.
Chapter completed!
