Fang Xing is eating noodles, not because he doesn't want to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but because the cooks in the army make noodles today.
In fact, the fried noodles cooked in a large pot are not bad. First use the fried pot with onion, ginger, garlic and meat slices, add water to boil the noodles, and then add the seasoning after the noodles are almost the same.
It tastes strong!
Fang woke up and chewed at the table. The smell floated into Hu Erwen's nose. The corners of his eyes twitched, but he still kept smiling.
After eating noodles, Fang woke up and wiped his mouth. Then he suddenly realized, "shopkeeper Hu is still on his knees! Get up quickly."
Hu Erwen felt that his knees were not his own. He stood up hard. He thought Fang Xing would give him a seat, but Fang Xing drank a cup of tea and asked contentedly, "Ben Bo has business later. Shopkeeper Hu has something to say quickly."
If we use negotiation to describe this meeting, Hu Erwen feels that this is not a good beginning.
"Uncle, I was very excited to hear that uncle came here for the salt administration. I came to disturb uncle early in the morning and wanted to see if there was a place where I needed a small contribution."
"Oh!"
Fang woke up unexpectedly and said, "shopkeeper Hu seems to have a profound meaning!"
"Yes, yes."
If Miao Chengfu were here, he would think that Hu Erwen, who did not forget to maintain his elegant demeanor at that time in the past, was a fake.
Fang woke up and glanced at the flattering face and said angrily, "Benbo was ordered to come to Yangzhou house. I thought the local gentry would help enthusiastically, but who wants to come to you alone until now? It's contempt for your majesty! It's trampling on Benbo's dignity! It's time to kill!"
Hu Erwen pretended to wipe his sweat and took the opportunity to hide a trace of contempt in his eyes.
Do you think Hu Erwen will believe such a pretentious statement?
Fang woke up and sprayed for a few minutes before gasping: "since shopkeeper Hu is willing to cooperate, Benbo asks you, what's the matter with the lack of salt in the market?"
Hu erwendui said with a smile, "uncle, it's a long story..."
"Then say it short and focus!"
Fang Xing rudely interrupts Hu Erwen. Huang Zhong apologizes to Hu Erwen and points to his forehead, suggesting that Fang Xing is not in a good mood recently.
Hu Erwen hurriedly said, "since your Majesty's edict was issued, the small ones have no complaints, but the guys distributed all over the country are unwilling and feel that they have no land in the future, lazy, salt stealing and money stealing..."
Hu Erwen said sincerely, "uncle, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My little men have given more than ten guys who ran away with money or salt recently. They can't control it!"
"Pa!"
Fang woke up, patted his thigh and said angrily, "this Diao Nu is hateful! Has shopkeeper Hu ever reported to the official?"
Hu Erwen sighed, "don't expose your family's ugliness. If others know about it, it will have a great impact on your reputation, so small ones have to be visited quietly."
Fang Xing's anger suddenly stopped. He said coldly, "shopkeeper Hu, if Ben Bo asks you to make up the missing salt immediately, how about it?"
Huang Zhong added with a smile: "my uncle has a lot of affairs in Jinling, but the salt administration can't be delayed!"
Fang Xing said modestly, "Benbo has a college in his hand and has to teach every day. Moreover, his highness TAISUN can't stop his daily homework. If his majesty didn't pay attention to it, Benbo would never come to this ghost place!"
"Uncle, I study heaven and man. I only admire you, but..."
Hu Erwen frowned and said, "uncle, now the salt merchants in Yangzhou are in a mess, and the people under them are floating in mind. It's difficult!"
Fang woke up and patted the table and said disdainfully, "then you are rejecting Ben Bo's kindness! Huh?"
Hu Erwen quickly knelt down and shouted, "uncle, small sentences are true. If you don't believe it, you can ask. Who's the salt merchant in Yangzhou Prefecture who hasn't encountered such bad luck? Now everyone wants to stop quickly. Unfortunately, the speed in the middle of the court is too slow."
"Get out!"
Fang Xing grabbed the pen wash on the table and tried to throw it away. Hu Erwen ran away in fear.
"Uncle, I'm willing to share my worries for Uncle..."
His voice was still in his ears, but he had long disappeared. Fang woke up and smiled, "this man can bend and stretch."
Huang Zhong said with a smile, "this man seems humble, but he is secretly observing uncle. I can't tell the effect of this beating today."
"Not beating."
Fang woke up and said, "this man is a leading figure in the salt merchants of Lianghuai. If he wants to be soft, he just needs to come quietly at night. Can those brothers on patrol kill him? So ah! This guy is here to test. By the way, he can deal with Ben Bo."
Huang Zhong looked coldly, "uncle, this man should be killed!"
Fang Xing walked slowly to the door and sighed, "the sky is high and the clouds are light. At this time, it's best for three or five friends to go out for an outing, listen to Songtao and drink wine. It's very fast!"
Kill? Fang Xing doesn't think it's a good idea.
Once Hu Erwen is won, Yangzhou salt merchants will be frightened. When people are in danger, it can't be said that someone will take risks.
"Come on, let's go out."
……
Hu Erwen got into the carriage, and the flattery and panic on his face immediately disappeared. He hummed coldly, "there is a fraud indeed."
Opening the front curtain, Hu Erwen said, "go to the Miao family."
When he arrived at the Miao family, Hu Erwen, regardless of Miao Chengfu's smelly face, directly told him the process of meeting Fang Xing just now.
"... this man seems to laugh and scold, but he is beating in words, and there is a threat behind him. Shopkeeper Miao, we should be careful."
Miao Chengfu sneered and said, "that party is generous. Since we have come to this step, who will be soft and who will die! How about it?"
Hu Erwen nodded: "that's exactly what you said. According to your Majesty's previous disposal methods, we have actually stood under the knife. Can shopkeeper Miao have a good plan?"
Miao Chengfu's eyes were cold. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "do you dare to go out?"
Hu Erwen was shocked. He stepped back and said, "going to Japan is also going to Japan!"
"So you have a plan!"
Miao Chengfu sneered: "if you go to Japan, unless you are a bandit, those Japanese will rob us all and kill us."
"But the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, those Mengyuan people are not good stubble!"
Hu Erwen agrees with Miao Chengfu, but he is worried that if he goes outside the Great Wall, he will be robbed as a slave by the Mongolian Yuan people.
Miao Chengfu said proudly, "I have a fellow villager who is with the vara people. He not only has a thriving business, but also is deeply valued by the vara people. He has married seven or eight wives. He has long advised me to work with him in vara."
Hu Erwen hesitated and said, "but let's go with money and family. Will the vara people..."
"Just cheat dozens of craftsmen to go together."
Miao Chengfu obviously had a plan for a long time: "the Wara people are thirsty for talents for the merchants, literati and craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty! If we go there, we will be able to make great plans!"
Hu Erwen hesitated. Everyone was a businessman. Of course, Miao Chengfu knew what he was worried about, so he raised his hand and swore: "if I Miao Chengfu tried to seize Hu Erwen's family property, let me break my children and grandchildren and devote myself to animals all over the world."
Hu Erwen also raised his hand and said, "if I'm sorry for Miao Chengfu, my grandchildren will steal women and prostitutes in the future!"
"Pa!"
Two hands hit each other in the air, and then there was laughter in the room.
"Master, Xinghe Bo sent a message that he invited the salt merchants of Yangzhou prefecture to have dinner in Laiyun building. If he didn't go for half an hour, he would copy his family and destroy the family."
