The seventh thing is about little Pixiu. This little money-lover is the pistachio in the yard. Everyone likes to use copper coins to tempt her to do work, which is very funny.
And for some reason, Gu Beiyan fell in love with this girl. How much do you like it? Knowing that this little guy likes wonton noodles, he moved the stall to the alley where mortals live, and often gave him rewards. Not only did the stall owner feel more relaxed, he also made more money than before.
If it weren't for Jiang Fan's permission, she would have wanted to accept little Pixiu as her apprentice.
Jiang Fan was pleased with the success of this matter and immediately told Lin Nanyan to convey his intention.
In his opinion, Dayan's life is really boring and boring, and it would be nice to have a pistachio to spice it up.
"I didn't expect that I was so busy working that I didn't notice so many things happening at home..."
Jiang Fan felt that he was not a qualified family head.
As he was talking, a voice suddenly came: "Actually, there is an eighth thing, Xiao Yanzi's."
In the mortal world, Dayan specifically refers to Gu Beiyan, and Xiaoyan specifically refers to Lin Nanyan.
Jiang Fan knew as soon as he heard the voice that it was Ba Qing coming.
Lin Nanyan muttered at that time: "I'm fine, what can happen to me!"
Ba Qing sat down with a smile: "You said it's okay, is it just because of Mrs. Meng's second son? She glances at you dozens of times every time she comes back, but you always avoid her."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh: "Mrs. Meng is a bit greedy. Want to take away my two darlings at once?"
Lin Nanyan hugged his arm with an unhappy look on her face: "Don't even think about it, there's no chance. Xiaoqi only likes young masters in her life."
Jiang Fan looked at her and said seriously: "Let me tell you, Xiao Qi, that Montaigne comes from a first-class family and is both civil and military. He is indeed a rare good man in the world. Are you really not interested?"
Lin Nanyan snorted: "No matter how good he is, it's his business. You can't drive me away anyway, otherwise I will hang myself in front of your house and look for you every day and midnight."
Oh, let me go! Jiang Fan was speechless, and Ba Qing next to him was also very happy.
"Okay, okay, do whatever you want, as long as no one forces you. We already have two ghosts in our family, and I don't want another one."
Lin Nanyan finally let him go, knowing that Ba Qing had something to do, so she muttered and went back to the house to change clothes.
"This Lin Xiaoqi..." Jiang Fan smiled and shook his head.
Ba Qing said: "My lord, it's really difficult for Little Swallow to leave you, so why don't you accept her?"
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes: "Why are you adding to the trouble and talking about business?"
Ba Qing then said seriously: "What Xiao Qi talked about just now were all trivial matters at home, but there are still some things that should be told to the prince."
Ba Qing is in charge of Lishan Commercial Affairs, and the main focus of the discussion is this aspect.
"Nowadays, Lishan is developing rapidly, the twelve squares are completely perfected, the business chain is very sound, and the business reaches five countries, and even reaches as far as northern Xinjiang. It can be said that there is a lot of money. And this momentum is getting stronger and stronger."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Of course it will cause more trouble."
Ba Qing said: "Your Majesty, you see clearly. There are many experts among the five countries, and they seem to have discovered that Your Majesty is using trade to gain wealth. Many forces have begun to resist, causing a lot of trouble."
According to her narration, the main reasons came from these aspects. First, Sima Ji of Jin State and Wang Xie's family. Second, Cao Yuan of Wei State. The third Xia Kingdom is Zhang Yi. Fourth, the poppies of Chu State.
The most interesting thing is that there seem to be two unknown forces involved, and even Ba Qing can't get a clear clue.
But these two forces are very powerful, and their shadows can be seen almost at all levels.
Ba Qing also discovered the difference between the two forces.
One of them is a variety of straightforward interceptions and strikes. While Jiang Fan was out, there were several attacks on caravans. The Yuwen family's horse and carriage business also suffered twice, and the losses were considerable. Baqing held a special meeting and reorganized and assigned the escort force.
The other group played a more clever role. They seemed to be interspersed among various anti-Qin forces and organized these people to boycott Lishan. Strictly speaking, this trend is even more catastrophic, and it will inevitably lead to huge changes in the long run.
Regarding the response to this matter, Jiang Fan and the two had an in-depth discussion and determined several response plans. The key point is that Ba Qing suggested that in addition to the necessary direct sales products, a wider range of regional distribution methods should be adopted, which Jiang Fan fully agreed with.
"Also, you can ask Shangguan Wan'er to assist you in dealing with them." Jiang Fan decisively decided to use the forces of Bliss.
In the final analysis, the enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark, making it difficult to deal with it. The best way is to turn them inside out to make them easier to deal with.
Ba Qing looked at him: "My lord, are you ready to use the power behind you?"
She was one of the three wise men in the world, and she had long realized that there was an extremely powerful mysterious force behind Jiang Fan, and Shangguan Wan'er was probably from there.
"Yes, I won't hide it from you now. Shangguan Wan'er does come from a certain group. It will be easier with her help."
Subsequently, Ba Qing proposed to expand trade with the four Xinjiang areas.
Nanchu was originally Ba Qing's base camp, but it was simpler. Jiang Fan knew many things, so there was no need to discuss them in detail. The problem lies with the other three frontiers.
King Zuoxian opened the way in northern Xinjiang, but after such a long time, the other three kings of the grassland and even the Golden Horde Royal Court also noticed something was wrong. They were all exploring the source of the products of King Zuoxian's tribe, and they had vaguely discovered what happened in Lishan.
Ba Qing decided to take the lead and launch a full-scale trade war with the grassland, dragging the other three kings into the water.
Jiang Fan just thought about it briefly and agreed. This was a matter of time, and King Zuo Xian became more and more powerful with the support of huge trade. This was not what Jiang Fan wanted to see.
"Through trade means, try to make the grassland itself chaotic."
Jiang Fan said immediately.
"This matter must be divided into several steps. I have made preparations. The first thing is to let the other three kings find out that King Zuo Xian is profiting from it, and start a three-on-one..."
She explained her thoughts in detail, and Jiang Fan repeatedly praised her. It was true. She was better in knowledge. If we just talked about business operations, she was far behind the person in front of her.
"I completely agree with the matter in Northern Xinjiang. What are your plans in Western Xinjiang?"
Ba Qing said: "Concentrate on conquering Northern Xinjiang first. I also plan to implement Western Xinjiang at the same time, but it will not be the focus. After all, the transportation cost in the Western Region is too high and it is not very cost-effective at the moment."
Jiang Fan agreed with Ba Qing's view, and then Ba Qing talked about Eastern Xinjiang, which is also Haijiang.
"The sea territory is controlled by the Sea Dragon King. Currently, only the Xie family and the Zheng family can shuttle between the North Sea and the South China Sea. Among them, the Xie family mainly builds ships, and the Zheng family focuses on merchant shipping."
"So you mean Hexian will do business with the Zheng family?"
Ba Qing said: "The Sea Dragon King is a foreigner after all, and his intentions are unknown. Moreover, he mainly controls the sea and has no ability to digest goods. The Zheng family should be the best choice."
Jiang Fan suddenly smiled slightly: "The Zheng family... The Zheng family has been in a lot of trouble recently."
Ba Qing was stunned. She didn't know that Jiang Fan was already taking action against the Zheng family: "Is there... something inappropriate?"
Jiang Fan thought about it and suddenly showed a weird smile: "No, no, it's just right. They have an awkward sea route, so naturally they have to think of other ways to make up for their losses. You are a help in times of need. However, I can't show up in your name. I have to Find someone unrelated..."
