Liu Heng, who had just returned from an inspection at the Ordnance Bureau, saw Yang Yuan hurried over before returning to the holding room.
"The boss..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Heng said, "Don't worry, come in and tell me if you have anything to say."
With that said, he walked into the signing room.
The space in the signing room is not large. It was originally a side hall and was later converted into a signing room.
Liu Heng picked up the big teapot on the table and poured half of the teacup's hot water into it. Then he walked behind the table and sat down, and at the same time said, "Sit down too."
Zhao Yutu, who came back from Zhaojiayu with Liu Heng, walked to a bench nearby and sat down.
Yang Yuan did not sit down, but said: "The secret agent planted by the Foreign Intelligence Agency in Yanghewei just sent back the news that Fan Yongdou went to the Governor's Mansion and stayed there for a long time before coming out."
"This Fan Yongdou has been dealt with so many times by our Tiger Flag, but it seems he is still dishonest." Zhao Yutu frowned slightly.
Yang Yuan added: "It's a pity that Wang Xinyi has just taken over as the Inspector of Datong. It is difficult for the people placed by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in the Inspector's Office to have access to some confidential matters, otherwise they would be able to figure out what they were talking about."
"No need to eavesdrop, I can guess that when they get together, they must be thinking about how to deal with our Tiger Flag." Zhao Yutu said.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot, took a sip of water, and said: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. The Fan family has been operating in Zhangjiakou for generations. Even if we cut off the smuggling business, the background is still there. Naturally, we are not willing to accept it. So the Fan family wants to It’s normal to deal with us.”
"My subordinates thought that if we simply get rid of this person, everything would be over." Yang Yuan showed murderous intent.
Zhao Yutu said: "Fan Yongdou is just a businessman. Even if he manages some connections, once he dies, he will naturally disappear. No one will keep an eye on him, so my subordinates think Director Yang's method is very feasible."
"Don't worry, Boss, my subordinates promise not to leave any traces. No one will suspect our Tiger Flag." Yang Yuan assured.
Hearing the words of the two people trying to get rid of Fan Yongdou, Liu Heng tapped his fingers on the table.
To him, Fan Yongdou's life or death was insignificant.
But what he was worried about was the other Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu, and only some of them had joined his chamber of commerce, while some were outside the chamber of commerce and only chose to cooperate with Tiger Character Banner.
If the killing of Fan Yongdou is leaked, it will definitely alienate Shanxi merchants from the Tiger Flag, which is definitely not a good thing for their Tiger Flag.
Now the Tiger Flag is a critical period for the expansion of the war camp. Once there is a problem with the Chamber of Commerce in Xuan Mansion, it will inevitably affect the business roads on the grassland, thus affecting the expansion of several war camp.
Sitting on the bench, Zhao Yutu saw Liu Heng looking thoughtful. He thought for a while and said, "Is the boss worried about those Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu?"
Liu Heng held the outer wall of the tea vat and said: "The next year is very important for our Tiger Character Banner. There must be no chaos in the Xuan Mansion, let alone affect our business. The expansion of several large camps requires more profits from smuggling. To support.”
"What does this have to do with killing Fan Yongdou?" Yang Yuan looked confused.
Zhao Yutu, who was the first to react, said: "The boss is worried that after killing Fan Yongdou, Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu will become insecure, and they will take more precautions against our Tiger Flag, which will inevitably affect business."
"Only kill Fan Yongdou and leave other Shanxi merchants alone. Moreover, my subordinates will be able to make Fan Yongdou's death an accident and no one will suspect that we did it." Yang Yuan said.
"It's not that simple." Zhao Yutu shook his head and said, "It's impossible for those Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu not to know that the Fan family is against our Tiger Flag. Regardless of whether Fan Yongdou died in an accident, others will doubt us. If there are any more interested people, Secretly fueling the flames, those Shanxi merchants in Xuan Mansion don't need evidence at all. As long as they suspect that we did it, they will believe in their hearts that we killed the person."
Yang Yuan frowned deeply and said, "So we can't kill Fan Yongdou yet. We can only watch him jump around like a disgusting person under our noses."
"This person really cannot be killed."
Zhao Yutu nodded seriously, denying his previous idea of killing Fan Yongdou.
Liu Heng turned the teapot in his hand and said: "Keep him, this person is of no importance to us. He and Xu Tong couldn't do anything to us before, but now Tiger Character Banner has Governor Liu taking care of him, and a patrol secretary It can’t make much waves yet.”
Yang Yuan sighed and said: "This guy is taking advantage of him. He has been against us for so long and he is still alive and kicking."
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "Keeping him is more beneficial to us than killing him, and even if Fan Yongdou is killed, someone else from the Fan family will come out to take charge. They may also be against us. After all, the smuggling business on the grassland is Almost all are monopolized by our Tiger Flag, unless the Fan family is willing to drink some of the soup left by our Tiger Flag, they will have no choice but to continue to fight against us."
"That's right. Killing one or two members of the Fan family is of little use. We can't do the same as the imperial court and destroy the Fan family." Yang Yuan said.
It wasn't that the Foreign Intelligence Bureau couldn't do the genocide, but he knew that if he really wanted to annihilate the Fan family, it would be difficult to hide it from the court, and it would definitely bring trouble to the Tiger Flag.
Liu Heng said: "Just keep an eye on the affairs of the Fan family and that Wang Xunjian. We can definitely make moves in the future. For our Tiger Character Banner, the most important thing now is the expansion of several military camps." .”
"yes."
Yang Yuan and Zhao Yutu agreed at the same time.
Liu Heng turned his head to look at Zhao Yutu and said: "The Logistics Bureau must ensure the normal operation of several large camps and help several large camps to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The grassland will not give us too much time."
"Yes." Zhao Yutu agreed and then said, "As long as there are enough soldiers, a group of qualified soldiers can be trained in a few months. However, the demand for armor is huge. If the soldiers do not have armor, their combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least half." "
Liu Heng pursed his lips and said: "You don't have to worry about the armor. The Ordnance Bureau is already working hard to build it. Now it has added more than ten hydraulic hammers and other hydraulic machines. We still have many that have been eliminated. Lumi gun can also be equipped to the newly established military camp."
"As long as the armor is adequately equipped, my subordinates will be able to provide logistical support for several large battalions of soldiers." Zhao Yutu assured.
Liu Heng nodded, then looked at Yang Yuan and said: "Your foreign intelligence bureau must keep an eye on Beilu. No matter how Fan Yongdou cooperates with that Wang Xunjian, he will definitely try to establish our trade route on the grassland in the end. Beilu There must be someone secretly joining forces with Fan Yongdou."
Yang Yuan nodded vigorously and said: "My deputy Huang Hong has been keeping an eye on the grassland, and now he has some clues. I believe it won't take long to find out which northern captives are secretly colluding with the Fan family."
"Keep an eye on them." Liu Heng said, "Our warehouse in Daheihe is about to be completed. We must not make any mistakes at this time."
Yang Yuan nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."
Zhao Yutu, who was sitting on the bench, said: "There are too many soldiers in the several camps. If the Wang Xunjian is targeted, it will be very difficult to hide it from the court."
"What are you afraid of? In the worst case, we'll kill him too." Yang Yuan raised his hand and made a chopping motion.
