sThank you for the tip from Jo.
"Since this is something Tumote Khan agreed to, do you think I can stop it?" Fan Yongdou asked several people in the room.
Several people did not answer the call.
Although they privately bought and sold goods with the Mongols, they were all from small tribes, and they had no contact with people like Tumote Khan.
Even the Fan family has just begun to cooperate with Su Nang Taiji, the owner of Ban Sheng City.
Tumut Khan is the co-leader of the entire Mongolian right wing. Among many tribes in Mongolia, his status is higher than that of Su Nang Taiji in Bansheng City.
Fan Yongdou walked to the upper seat and sat down, and said, "Since the horse bandits you are looking for have all failed, it will be difficult to deal with the Tiger Flag on the grassland in the future, unless the powerful Taiji troops on the grassland send troops." Go deal with the Tiger Flag."
"But we can't just watch the tiger-character flag snatch our wealth." Huang Yunfa spread his hands.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
The Tiger Flag's four-wheeled cart has a large loading capacity. Every time it is transported to the grassland, there is enough cargo. The escort of the convoy is so strong that ordinary horse bandits would not dare to provoke it.
With such powerful force and transportation capabilities, it would be a matter of time before the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce was forced out of the grassland. Even if the Fanji Chamber of Commerce barely stayed on the grassland, it would only be able to eat the soup left over from the Tiger Flag.
This is something they Shanxi merchants don't want to see.
The purpose of joining the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce is to compete with the Tiger-Character Banner. Now the Tiger-Character Banner has the support of the Mongolian right-wing communist leader, the Great Khan, and has gained an advantage on the grassland. The horse bandits have no choice but to use the Tiger-Character Banner's convoy. This makes They don't know how to deal with the Tiger Flag.
Fan Yongdou picked up the tureen and took a sip of tea without hesitation, and said, "Since the establishment of the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce, the money you have received from the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce every time is more than before."
"A lot." Liang Binbin said, "Because we are going to Bansheng City, the income is not only a lot, but also a lot more than before."
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries." Huang Yunfa said, "I think I'm making a lot of money now. That's because the Tiger Flag has just started to be sent to the grassland in the convoy. I believe it won't be long before the goods of the Tiger Flag arrive in the grassland. With the upper floors now open, it will not be easy for us to earn as much money as we do now."
"This is true." Liang Jiabin said in a deep voice, "President Fan, you have to think of a way. We cannot allow the Tiger Flag to develop on the grassland, otherwise it will not be beneficial to our family."
"Don't worry, I have found a way to deal with the Tiger Flag." Fan Yongdou picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Liang Binbin asked curiously, "What can I do?"
Butler Fan, who was standing next to Fan Yongdou, said, "My master has sent the third master to the capital and bribed several censors. Uemoto reported the banditry in Lingqiu. If the court takes action, I believe that the tiger character flag will be solved soon." trouble."
"Good idea." Liang Binbin slapped his thigh suddenly.
Huang Yunfa frowned and said, "That Liu Heng has already established a relationship with the governor of Datong and the commander-in-chief of the army. With these two local officials here, the court should not skip these two officials and directly attack the tiger-character flag." Let’s do it”
Butler Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. This time, the inspector of Datong and another censor came together. I heard that Jin Yiwei has been sent to Datong for verification."
hiss
Several people outside the room, including Fan Yongdou, took a breath at the same time.
Not to mention that the Tiger Character Banner is not clean at all, just what the Tiger Character Banner did in Lingqiu, the Jin Yiwei will naturally verify everything when they arrive at Lingqiu. As long as the Lingqiu incident is reported back to Beijing, the imperial court will definitely send an army there Lingqiu suppresses bandits.
Casting cannons, making armor, training soldiers, and horses and cavalry are all enough to be charged with rebellion, but smuggling with the Northerners on the grassland is not a serious crime.
Wang Dayu, who had been silent in the room, suddenly said, "Once the Tiger Flag falls, what will happen to the things left behind?"
"What Mr. Wang is reminding is this." Guest Liang looked at Fan Yongdou and said, "How can we say that Tiger Flag has a big business? Just a Dongshan iron yard makes a lot of money every day, not to mention four-wheeled carts and Xujiazhuang. This is a treasure.”
Fan Yongdou took the tureen away from his mouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Dongshan Iron Station. It needs to be used to manage the court officials and local Datong officials. As for the four-wheeled cart, Fanji Chamber of Commerce can get it and divide it." It is given to each family, and the shops on the grassland with the tiger character flag will eventually belong to our Fanji Chamber of Commerce."
"Haha." Huang Yunfa suddenly laughed and said, "The people of the Tiger Flag never dreamed that everything they do on the grassland is to make wedding clothes for us."
Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu nodded in agreement.
With the four-wheeled carts of the Tiger Flag and the shops on the grassland, Fanji Chamber of Commerce's fleet of smuggling grassland will become larger in the future, and they will also make more money.
"With Dongzhu Fan's words, we are relieved." Liang Jiabin said with a smile.
Huang Yun laughed and said, "Now the tiger-character flag is like a grasshopper after autumn. It won't be able to jump around for a few days. Let's wait and see the good show."
"Thanks to Fan Dongzhu's resourcefulness, if I were waiting, I wouldn't have thought of going to the capital to find a solution." Wang Dayu complimented.
Fan Yongdou's face was full of smiles.
This time, he was very confident about dealing with the Tiger Flag. No matter how powerful the soldiers of the Tiger Flag were, they could beat the horse bandits on the grassland, but they could not defeat the imperial army. Once the imperial army came, the Tiger Flag would be wiped out. when.
In the future, when the Tiger Flag falls, what will be left behind will be enough to feed many people, and the Fan family will also be able to reap the greatest benefits from it.
"Sir, this Xujiazhuang is more lively than Lingqiu County. If there was a city wall around it, I would think this is Lingqiu County."
Jin Yiwei and his party came to Xujiazhuang.
There was a constant flow of pedestrians coming and going on the street, and from time to time a convoy selling goods passed by.
There are many shops on both sides of the road, and waiters waiting for customers are standing outside the doors.
"Have you checked everything out?" Jinyiwei Baihu asked the Jinyiwei around him.
The thin-faced Jin Yiwei said, "The shops here are all owned by the Tiger Flag. You can make a lot of money just by collecting rent every day."
A guard in uniform on the side nodded and agreed, "The Tiger Flag not only collects rent, but also collects commercial taxes. According to the different goods, there are one for thirty, one for twenty, and one for fifteen. Iron goods have the highest commercial tax, and ten If you draw one, just one Xujiazhuang will make enough money for the Tiger Flag."
The hundred households of Jinyiwei frowned and said, "They are competing with the people for profit, something that even the imperial court does not do. A giant bandit from the Tiger Character Banner actually blatantly collects business taxes. They are simply ignorant of life and death."
The thin-faced Jin Yiwei said, "If you want to do business in Xujiazhuang, you have to pay taxes. Otherwise, merchants are not allowed to do business in Lingqiu."
Jinyiwei Baihu said, "Such a big thing happened here in Lingqiu, but no news was revealed. It seems that the local officials are also colluding with the Tiger Character Banner."
"Sir, what should we do next? Should we go to Datong Mansion to find the governor to move troops?" said the thin-faced Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei Baihu shook his head and said, "Go directly back to the capital and bring the verified situation back to the capital. As for how those adults deal with the Tiger Flag, that is the business of those adults."
"It's all up to you, sir." Slim-faced Jin Yiwei said.
