Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 156
The night wind blows in the cold tent, there are not many guards at night, the entire business team has less than 200 people, and there are only seven or eight guards at night.But for a caravan, that's a lot.

It was at this time that Wang Qinian patted Fan Xian lightly, and said in a low voice, "My lord!"

Fan Xian turned his head to look at Wang Qinian.

"You're awake..." Wang Qinian smiled and pointed down.

Fan Xian turned his head to look down, at this time Xiaoqing had already touched out from the tent.

The seven guards lived in different places. At this time, Fan Xian looked up and saw that Shi Chanli and the others were gone. When he turned his head to look down again, there were rustling sounds from below.

Fan Xian was not worried about the efficiency of their secret operations. For now, they were spies trained by Fan Xian, but for Fan Xian, they could already be used as special forces.So Fan Xian is still very assured of their strength, but what Fan Xian is more assured of is his drug.

Gradually, he could see from above that Shi Chanli and Deng Zifei had entered the local camp, and in an instant, they had used Fan Xian's drug to release two guards, and then it was time for their performance Fan Xian just looked at the people in front of him calmly, and after bringing down all the guards one by one, Deng Zifei came near one of the tents.

This is the tent where the head of the guard just now was staying. His strength is beyond the reach of others, so Deng Zifei also had to be very vigilant. He put Fan Xian's fragrance near the tent, and after a breath passed in, Deng Zifei Still not taking it lightly, he waited quietly by the side, and at the same time, Shi Chanli had already touched Xiaoqing's tent.

After a while, Xiaoqing and Shi Chanli came out of the camp at the same time, Shi Chanli left, and Deng Zifei followed quietly.

Xiaoqing first took a look at Fan Xian's location, and after confirming that it was not easy to find Fan Xian in the pitch darkness, she turned around with confidence. At this time, Xiaoqing walked slowly towards the place where the goods were.

It must be better for those present to spy on this matter secretly. After all, even if Xiaoqing is discovered, there are certain excuses for those who discovered her to calm down and think about it.Tell a lie or something casually, and if you can fool it, you can fool it. If Shi Chanli or Deng Zifei were to spy from below, after being discovered, there would be no other option but a bloody battle, so Fan Xian insisted that he didn't want to take any risks. It was because of the principle of danger that Xiao Qing was mobilized, not anyone else.

Xiaoqing looked around and made sure that there was no one there before walking to the carriage waiting for the goods.

There are people sleeping directly in the carriage on each carriage. Some of them are handymen and some are guards. They are responsible for the safety of each carriage, but they should all be asleep now, so there is no great danger, Xiao Although Qing has some kung fu foundation, but it is not a strength that can be used.Fan Xian also reminded him not to act rashly, so Xiaoqing was also very careful, making sure that the people in the carriage were asleep before touching the rear of the carriage.

Xiaoqing's movements were very light. Fan Xian knew that most people would not notice her movements. In addition, among the guards below, those who were a little stronger had already passed out completely, so he just I feel relieved.

Starting from the first carriage, Xiaoqing walked one by one. Fan Xian couldn't see anything from her face, so he had to wait for her to bring him first-hand information.After waiting for a long time, Xiaoqing looked at all the carriages, and then quietly slipped out of the camp.

"Let's go, go down and have a look." Fan Xian turned around, stepped over a few trees, and jumped down.

After waiting for a long time, Xiaoqing, Shi Chanli, and Deng Zifei walked to the place where Fan Xian was at this time. Xiaoqing walked over slowly and stood in front of Fan Xian. She took a deep breath.

"Seize the opportunity, this is the first time you report to the adults alone." Shi Chanli said beside him.

Xiaoqing glanced at Shi Chanli ignorantly, then turned to look at Fan Xian, and said, "My lord, I'm back."

"How did the investigation go?" Fan Xian asked.

"There are eighteen carriages in total, twelve of which are filled with goods, and the other six are covered with silver." Xiaoqing said, "The silver is sealed with official silver, which is the same as I saw in Xiuyutang. their silver is the same."

Fan Xian looked at Xiaoqing silently and nodded, "What else did you find?"

"These people are going to the direction of Qingguo. The journey is three months, and they have to pass through Danzhou. The adults said that my home is in Danzhou port. They said that they just passed by that place and they will escort me back." Xiaoqing He said, "Those people are soldiers of the Qing Kingdom, and they don't seem to be bad people."

"There is no distinction between good and bad people in this world, it's just that their interests and positions are different." Fan Xian said, he was just telling Xiao Qing the principles of the world, and after thinking about it, he said, "He is a soldier of the Qing Kingdom, so of course he will treat Qing The people of the country are better. From the standpoint of ordinary people, those who don’t kill people at will are good people, but for officials, those who don’t oppress lower officials, don’t take advantage of opportunities to amass wealth, and those who take bribes are good people.”

"But if they stand in the position of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they are not good people. Maybe there are some villages that were killed by such soldiers." Fan Xian sighed, "This is the way of the world. It is not you and me who can do it." It can be weighed left and right, so you don’t have to trust them, you just need to find your own interests and what you expect, and then you’ll be fine.”

Xiaoqing's eyes were slightly blurred, but she didn't show much, just nodded.

Fan Xian knew that Xiaoqing might not be able to digest so much at once, so he could only proceed step by step. For someone like Xiaoqing who had never seen the world and was locked up in the Xiuyu Hall since childhood, what she needed most was It is to learn the way of human emotional communication and communication, and also to learn to distinguish right from wrong.

To her, Fan Xian is like a teacher, the students will like it sometimes and they won't like it, Fan Xian doesn't care about these, as long as Xiaoqing can understand these principles.Fan Xian looked at Xiao Qing, thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Go ahead."

"Ah?" Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Fan Xian said, so she nodded, "Alright sir, I'll go right away."

Xiaoqing left the place, and everyone's eyes turned to Fan Xian again. Everyone looked at Fan Xian, as if they were waiting for the next step.

"This is the goods in the inner warehouse. It is not wrong to look at the quantity and the amount of silver taels." Qu Han was the one who spoke first, "I took over this batch of goods in Danzhou City before, and the time is about the same. Arrived at Danzhou Port two and a half months later, and started loading."

Fan Xian asked, "Since you left, has there been any change in the Neiku's stronghold in Danzhou City?"

"Normally not." Qu Han said, "The stronghold of the inner treasury is not a secret thing, but a serious organization on the surface. Although the inner treasury of Danzhou City has set up an export department, but There are not many people in the department, and the division of labor is very clear. I am just a person with no official name in the Xinyang department to the export department, so my departure does not hurt the seriousness."

Of course, Fan Xian knew what kind of organization the Export Department was. It was the organization under the Transshipment Department set up by the Neiku in various ports, and it was the Export Department.The export department is responsible for very simple things. They receive the goods, count the goods, and then export the goods. The quantity and quality of the goods are not their responsibility. Get on the ship and send to other places.

"But..." Qu Han looked at Fan Xian, frowned and said, "I heard Xiao Qing said about eighteen carriages, right?"

"Yes." Fan Xian replied.

"It shouldn't be that many. Every time we receive, there are as many as fifteen carriages. Among them, there are only two or three carriages loaded with silver, and sometimes there is only one carriage. The rest of the excess silver is scattered among the rest of the carriages." above." Qu Han said.

Fan Xian smiled, "What you received should be correct."

"Ah?" Qu Han asked Fan Xian puzzled, "Is the delivery of the goods unrelated to the transaction in the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

"It's related." Fan Xian took out a ledger and handed it to Qu Han.

"This is..." After Qu Han took the ledger handed over by Fan Xian, he read it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more surprised she became. It wasn't until after reading the whole ledger that Qu Han asked, "Bing Divide into three ways?"

"Yes." Fan Xian said, "The goods transferred from the Northern Qi internal warehouse will enter Jiangnan Road and Cangzhou City through three routes, two routes into Jiangnan Road, and one route into Cangzhou City. In fact, according to the original internal warehouse plan, this The purpose of the three lines is to ensure the goods in the inner warehouse and not to delay the time of entering Jiangnan Road due to road problems, so the large quantities of raw materials and silver here are very useful things, not just a simple transportation problem."

"Most of the goods that enter the Jiangnan Road in the Northern Qi Dynasty are mainly raw materials, supplemented by production materials. To put it bluntly, after entering the inner warehouse, the goods have to be processed again, so these goods are not sold for resale. For example, these ores , not produced in the Qing Kingdom, so if people from the Qing Kingdom came to Northern Qi to mine and collect, the manpower, material resources, and silver would be a huge expenditure, but if the internal treasury was directly moved to the Northern Qi territory, let the The workers in the Northern Qi Dynasty went to mine, and then paid a certain price to the internal treasury, always adding the cost of transportation, which still saved a lot." Fan Xian explained.

"Then why does one of the three routes go directly to Cangzhou City instead of Jiangnan Road?" Qu Han asked,
"The answer is very simple. The net profit of the Beiqi Neiku for one year is between 80 taels and 110 million taels of silver, and the deposit required to continue doing business has been deducted, so it is nearly 100 million. Logically speaking, the taels of silver will be handed over to Jiangnan Road, and then distributed to various places in Jiangnan Road, and finally the rest will be handed over to the inner treasury of the capital city." Fan Xian said, "Therefore, there are more places for manipulation. One transaction after another, one after another.”

"However, the third line should be gone now. The place where the official bank is exchanged for private bank in Cangzhou City no longer exists, so the road from the third line to Cangzhou City for money laundering has been blocked. If you want to come to the six The more than 30 taels of silver on the carriage is already more than half of the price," Fan Xian said.

"This year's income from the internal treasury is 69 taels, which is recorded in the account books." Qu Han said, "But the 69 taels should have been tampered with, right?"

"That's right." Fan Xian said, "You're right about that. Fan Sizhe already knows the reason. The people from Jinyiwei forced the inner warehouse to buy stone materials at a certain high price locally. The prices of various stone materials doubled. It is very common to buy and sell to obtain high profits, but who is behind Jin Yiwei, I don't know."

"My lord, I understand." Qu Han said.

"It's good that you know." Fan Xian said, "These two months will not be peaceful."

Thinking of this, Fan Xian still wondered why the second prince would directly release this team of carriages for Fan Xian to keep an eye on.

Fan Xian's doubts didn't last for many days. When they arrived at the junction of Xizhu Border Pass and Nanqing, Fan Xian finally understood what the second prince's plan was.

……

"There are still three days' journey before we can enter the Qing Kingdom. Once we are in the Qing Kingdom, I will treat my brothers to drink some of our Qing Dynasty's old flower wine. It is much better than Xihu's Xifeng wine!" the head of the guard said. Er shouted, "Set up camp now, it's been very cold these days, pay attention to light a fire and keep warm at night!"

"Hoo! Ha!"

After listening to the training, all the soldiers dispersed and prepared to light a fire and cook.

At this time, the head of the guard ran to Xiaoqing's side. Xiaoqing had already changed into a relatively small armor. The small armor is already a very lucky thing, he sat beside Xiaoqing and said, "Is it better?"

Xiaoqing nodded, looked at the head of the guard, and asked softly, "I have been with you for three or four days, but I don't even know what the name of the military master is."

"Don't call me Junye. My name is Tao Xu, and my family is from the capital city. Although I don't have much contact with Danzhou city, I really yearn for Danzhou." Tao Xu looked at Xiaoqing and smiled softly.

Xiaoqing was puzzled, "Danzhou is a poor and remote place, just relying on the sea and allowing fishermen to fish for a living, why does the military master yearn for it?"

"Girl, don't call me Junye, hahahaha, I really don't hear this word very often." Tao Xu smiled and rolled up his sleeves, "Danzhou Port, it's because of a popular official in the Qing Kingdom , an executive named Fan Xian, who was only in his early twenties, has already become an extremely powerful minister of the Qing Kingdom. He is not only a strategist, but also a poet. I admire him very much. He is my infinite desire for this future."

"So this time I will send you to Danzhou City, and I also want to see Master Fan's former residence." Tao Xu said here.

There was already muffled laughter over there.Xiaoqing covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

"Why is the girl so happy? Did I say something wrong?" Tao Xu was puzzled.

"Old residence?" Xiaoqing smiled, "If the Master Fan you mentioned is here, you will definitely be punished for a crime of disrespect. The former residence refers to the place where the deceased lived. Your former residence is to curse Fan my lord."

"Sin, sin!" Unexpectedly, Tao Xu knelt on the ground directly, and he said, "Heaven and earth, my words were just because I didn't understand, and I didn't really mean any disrespect to Mr. Fan, but I really didn’t know about it, so I sincerely regret it, and I hope you don’t blame me.”

This incident directly shocked Xiaoqing. He simply talked about someone behind his back. If he said something wrong, he said something wrong, but such a scene would be extended. It seems that this person admires Fan Xian. Already in a state of frenzy, Xiaoqing chuckled, covered her mouth and said, "Are you like this?"

"Of course!" Tao Xu looked at Xiaoqing in front of him with an unquestionable expression, and said solemnly, "How can Master Fan's famous name be muddied by my few words, and it is even more impossible for me to curse Master Fan. We must try our best to protect Master Fan."

"Exactly!" While the two were talking, a soldier ran over, and he said with a smile, "Our boss, I admire Master Fan very much, and he often teaches us that he is about to become Master Fan. People like that, even though they are high-level executives, are always thinking of the people below, and they must always have love for the people below!"

At this time, Xiaoqing's heart can be described as a warm sun.
