Two days later.

Royal Palace.

Yeting Palace, West Gate.

Fan Chong, the shopkeeper in front of the Fan Trading Company, was leading hundreds of friends to wait ten miles outside the west gate.

Although the Fan Family Trading Company is an imperial merchant and does business with the Ministry of Revenue, it is still a businessman and cannot be close to the imperial city.

At this moment, Fan Chong was looking at Ximen, looking forward to it, looking through it.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Revenue delivers tea.

Fu'an Que's tongue, which was 170,000 taels, not only put all the money in Fan's trading house, but also mortgaged many industries in Ya's store.

If this wave of business is completed, at least 600,000 taels will be exchanged for 170,000 taels.

What is the concept of 600,000 taels?

The annual tax revenue of middle-class states in the Great Wei Dynasty is only one hundred thousand taels.

Fan's Commercial Bank almost made half a year of tax revenue from a medium-sized state through this monopoly operation.

Fan Chong was excited when he thought about it. This not only made a lot of money, but also won over a group of royal merchants and killed Zhang's business. It was simply a killing of multiple goals.

Without the Qin Wang Mansion supported by Zhang's Commercial Bank, it is estimated that it will not last a few days.

Fan Chong was thinking.

Liu Song, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, led a team of people to escort Fu'an and rushed towards Fan.

Seeing this, Fan Chong hurriedly met with flattery, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work and you brothers. This is a little bit of intention, and the money for the brothers to drink."

As he said, he stuffed a large bag of silver into Liu Song's arms.

Liu Song raised his smile and stuffed the wallet into his wide sleeves. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Fan is so polite. The tea leaves are all here. You can leave after you have finished counting and handover procedures."

Fan Chong hurriedly said, "I don't have to worry about Lord Liu doing things, so there is no need to count them."

As he said that, he asked again: "By the way, Lord Liu, will the remaining Fu'an Que's tongue be shipped in the afternoon? I see that those royal merchants are all preparing to come."

Liu Song shook his head and pondered: "I'm afraid I can't get out these days."

Fan Chong was stunned, stared at him with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "This...why is this?"

Liu Song said seriously: "It was said that something went wrong in the tea in Taicang. I am taking stock of it. Your Fan Trading Company is all the guys who were personally staring at him. Otherwise, your guy would have to wait for a few more days."

Fan Chong asked with a puzzled look: "Mr. Liu, I'm talking too much. Didn't the tea in Taicang pay taxes from various places last year? The Ministry of Revenue has already blocked the accounts, so why did something suddenly make a mistake?"

Fan Chong suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The Fan's Commercial Bank has given 170,000 taels of real money and silver to the Ministry of Revenue.

If something goes wrong at this time, they will not have time to cry.

Liu Song looked around and whispered: "It happened that the tea leaves were checked out. Didn't Qin Shangshu be confined by His Majesty to return home? These days he found that the tea accounts were wrong, so he asked Taicang to re-inspect. If the tea from your Fan's store had not been prepared in advance, it wouldn't have been released."

Hearing this.

Fan Chong suddenly realized and thought to himself: It’s really a trick of Qin Wenyao. This makes sense. Now the Fu'an Que's tongue is scarce in the market. It’s great that the goods from Fan’s store can be produced. I think I’m too careful.

Fan Chong thought and nodded secretly. This matter was related to Qin Wenyao, so he felt relieved.

Immediately, he looked at Liu Song and bowed: "Mr. Liu, since the tea handover is over, I will go back first. It has rained these days, and the tea needs to be settled well."

Liu Song waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Fan, please give me a gift, and I will also return to the Ministry of Revenue to report."

After the words finished, one beat and two beats were gone.

Fan Chong led his friend to pull the carriage full of Fu'an's tongue and leave.

Liu Song led his subordinates to the west gate.

At this point, Fan's trading company spent 170,000 taels to finally take over 50% of the Fu'an Que Tongue Tea in Taicang.

Just after several other royal merchants succeeded, their deal was completed.

......

The moon is sparse in the night.

Jinling City.

Fan Mansion, front hall.

Fan Chong and Fan Jian stood in the hall.

Fan Junliang sat upright, playing with jade maids in his hand, his eyes were chilling, "So, Qin Wenyao was stumbling today, which made Fu'an's tongue from other royal merchants not come out?"

Fan Chong hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, this is what Liu Song, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, told his nephew in person, saying that he would have to check it for a few more days."

Fan Jian showed light frustration on his face, "Dad, Qin Wenyao is a naked revenge. Zhang Zhixin must have told them that Qin Wenyao checked the accounts at this critical moment, which clearly disgusted us."

Fan Junliang nodded slightly and said contemptuously: "Now, Qin Wenyao has only such ability. He thought that delaying for a few days can drag us down? It's ridiculous!"

As he said that, he lowered his face and said in a cold voice: "But Qin Yu's wolf cub is indeed a bit capable. It's okay to win over Zhang Zi'an, but he even invited Su Fu down the mountain to cure the eldest princess's aura."

"And there are rumors in the palace that His Majesty and Empress Chen are planning to betroth the eldest princess to him."

This statement is implemented.

Fan Jian and Fan Chong looked at each other and looked shocked.

They didn't expect that Qin Yu could be so troubled and by chance, he would become the prince consort of the Great Wei Dynasty?

"Dad, this is not a good thing for us. If Qin Yu becomes the son-in-law, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

Fan Jian looked at Fan Junliang with anxiety on his face.

Fan Junliang rubbed the master's hand a little heavier and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that Qin Yu can't succeed easily, so we have to do a game during this period, but not targeting the Qin Prince's Mansion, but targeting Zhang Zhixin."

Fan Jian was stunned and his eyes were sly, "Dad, what do you mean is to use Zhang Zhixin to pull the Qin Palace into the water? Let Your Majesty be disappointed with the Qin Palace, thus preventing Qin Yu from becoming the prince consort of the Great Wei?"

Fan Junliang nodded and said slowly: "Yes, Qin Yu kept Zhang Zi'an first, and then asked Su Fu. He already had a very high status in His Majesty's heart. In addition, this wolf cub has something to do. Not only can he recite poems, but he also made the five secrets of the eldest princess and the prince's mystery seem to have magic tricks!"

As he said that, he looked at Fan Jian and said in a deep voice: "Leave this matter to you. To set a plan for Zhang Zhixin, it must be a serious violation of the law. When Qin Wenyao and Qin Zhang go to plead with each other, I will join forces with other people to ginseng Qin Wenyao, and the big thing will be accomplished."

"The eldest princess can marry anyone, but she must not marry into the Qin Palace. Now, the King of Qi Xiao Wenmao is very interested in joining Yu Mingxuan and Miao Xiangyang. We must now accumulate capital as soon as possible to make the Fan family gain a higher status in the next chaos."

Fan Jian hurriedly bowed and said, "Leave this matter to the child."

Immediately afterwards.

Fan Junliang looked at Fan Chong, "In the past few days, you will urge Mr. Zhao to let the merchants pick up goods as soon as possible when the tea leaves are available. A portion of the tea leaves in your hands should be distributed as soon as possible and the money will be taken back."

Fan Chong bowed and said, "Yes, uncle."

When the tea leaves come out of Taicang, Fan Junliang's heart is already half at ease.
Chapter completed!
