Chapter 192 The Shan Family in Yuncheng

Shen Xiao then explained everything in detail, "Young Master Shan is the direct grandson of the Shan family in Yuncheng..."

Yuncheng is located in the south of Dajin. It has convenient water and land transportation and a prosperous economy. Half of Dajin's annual taxes come from here. It has always been called the "Southern Capital", which shows its prosperity. Z.br>

The Shan family started out as a fur business and became successful fifteen years ago. Then they gradually expanded their business to cloth, porcelain, tea, spices, jade and other industries, and became the richest man in Yuncheng ten years ago.

Shan Mancheng is the only direct grandson of this generation of the Yun family. He started to get involved in the family business at the age of fifteen.

Although he looks like a weak young man, he has a heart that yearns for the vast world. At the beginning of this year, he followed his family's caravan on the trade route between Dajin and Dawan.

The Shan family's caravan was naturally not an ordinary small caravan. The entire team carried a variety of goods that were valuable, and even hired a bodyguard to escort them throughout the journey.

The journey was going smoothly until we passed Jiayu Palace on our way back.

According to the usual practice, Shan's caravan has to make some deals with Jiayu Royal Court. If everything goes well, they can return in three days.

But this time, the atmosphere in the Jiayu clan seemed to be very tense. Shan Mancheng immediately gave up the deal and left with the caravan, but who knew that this would lay the foundation for disaster.

The caravan moved slowly. After walking for a day, Shan Mancheng gave the order to stop and reorganize. Just as they were reorganizing the goods, a group of 300 Jiayu tribesmen surrounded them.

Shan Mancheng was smart since he was a child and had a photographic memory. The head of the Shan family simply held him in the palm of his hand and hired many teachers to teach him. And because the Shan family was engaged in transnational business, Shan Mancheng took the Shan family into his hands. I have learned some languages ​​from several small countries I have had contact with.

The Jiayu tribe's language was one of the things Shan Mancheng understood. The caravan was surrounded, and Shan Mancheng stepped forward to negotiate, but the other party asked him to put down all his goods and money.

Shan Mancheng obviously didn't want to accept this result and argued hard, but the local government didn't listen at all. Seeing that he didn't agree, they directly ordered people to kill and rob him.

Shan Mancheng was young and had never encountered anything like this before. He was injured in the ribs before he could react. The most powerful bodyguard in the escort agency protected him and escaped, while the others scattered.

Naturally, all the goods were lost, and only the five hundred thousand taels of silver notes on Shan Mancheng's body remained.

The five hundred thousand taels of silver notes also caused Shan Mancheng's death. Later, he was chased to the border of northern Hubei and entered the customs in a hurry because there was a road to guide him.

At that time, Shan Mancheng was already a little confused. He only knew that he wanted to escape, so he ran all the way into the valley where Shen Qingqian and the others had opened up wasteland. He collapsed when he couldn't hold on any longer.

Shen Qingqian and the others almost knew what happened next, but they still had some questions.

"Brother, has no one ever suspected that he was lying?" Shen Qingqian was the first to question.

Shen Xiao said: "Of course there is, but someone among the general's personal guards happened to recognize this young master Shan, plus the road guide and various caravan documents on him, as well as the five hundred thousand taels of real money With the banknote, no one will doubt it anymore.”

Especially after Shan Mancheng met General Zhenbei, the first thing he did was to donate the 500,000 taels of silver notes he had on him to the Northern Hubei Army. He was short-handed. After confirming that his identity was OK, the general, of course, Nothing more will be said.

You know, the current salary of ordinary soldiers of the Northern Hubei Army is three taels of silver per month, which is only three taels and six cents a year. Shan Mancheng's 500,000 taels is enough to support the 100,000 troops of the Northern Hubei Army for an entire year. Military pay.
