Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 287 Meeting
After Fan Xian and Sisi waited for a while, footsteps came from outside, the door was opened, and two people walked in.

Cui Dalong and Xia Qifei.

The two entered the door and saluted immediately.

"grown ups."

Fan Xian waved his hand, "There are no outsiders here, so there are less foolish things."

Hearing Fan Xian's words, the two of them really relaxed a lot. They walked to the table and sat down. Sisi watched tea for them.

It was Cui Dalong who spoke first. He patted his fat belly, touched his head with a smile and said, "My lord, during this period of time, I have basically understood all the business, but my father still asked me to stay in the capital city." That’s why I’ve made up my mind, I’m here to help the family run the business, and I won’t run around anymore.”

Fan Xian nodded. Cui Zhen must have thought about it. When he was in Jiangnan, Fan Xian also heard from Cui Zhen that he planned to move most of his forces to the capital city. Of course, Fan Xian knew what this was. It means that the capital city is his own territory, and the Cui family can move here, which will definitely help him. The two complement each other, and it will be a matter of time before they help each other gain a firm foothold in the capital city.

It's just that he didn't expect that Cui Zhen would start implementing this matter as soon as Jiangnan returned. The speed is really fast, and the determination is also very great.

Fan Xian nodded, "I think Patriarch Cui has his own considerations, so it's good for you to wait here, just in time to learn more about the city of Kyoto for future troubles."

"That's natural." Cui Dalong said happily, "Thank you for your advice, my lord."

Fan Xian nodded, then turned to look at Xia Qifei.

Xia Qifei's complexion has turned paler since he took over Jiangnan's Overwatch Council, the Internal Treasury, and the Ming family's things. Seeing Fan Xian turn to him, Xia Qifei said, "My lord, this mission has been carried out very satisfactorily. Now The minister of the Ministry of Industry has eaten nearly 20 taels of silver from me."

Fan Xian nodded.

This is not fishing for law enforcement, but real bribery. This bribe is not from the perspective of the Overwatch Council or Fan Xian, but from the perspective of the Ming family in Jiangnan. It was an obvious matter, so the minister of the Ministry of Industry did not have any problems, but the problem was that there was no movement in the internal treasury.

After Fan Xian took over Neiku, there was no movement in Neiku in the entire Jiangnan Road except for various aristocratic families and merchants, that is to say, the activity in the capital city was basically the lowest. At first, people were surprised that Neiku was so Do you not want to do business anymore?You don't move anywhere, and you don't care about the circulation of goods, just bury your head in doing business in the Jiangnan area. Can such a business be done?

In fact, these are all made by Fan Xian to see, they are all small articles on the surface, and the really deep things are basically invisible to outsiders. On the one hand, Fan Xian does not use them. The reason for the internal treasury is actually very simple. It is because the previous name of the internal treasury is basically stinking in the street. It's wrong, even if it's to sell Fan Xian's face, he won't do anything himself, so there is no need to waste money like this.Secondly, from the perspective of the emperor, Fan Xian is different from before, so the difference must be made. Fan Xian is a pragmatic person, not a fake person, so even if he wants to pretend, he has to pretend .

Therefore, the collusion between the Neiku and the court was completed by Cui Dalong and Xia Qifei. These two pretended that they had nothing to do with the Neiku. They just had strong financial resources in the bidding. They dare not easily offend them, and the relationship between them and Fan Xian is not good. Once it is not good, it will become the theory that the enemy of the enemy is the friend of those people. In this way, no matter what, Xia Qifei and Cui Dalong will not come up. The door was shut down.

There are many possibilities for such a plan, so Fan Xian let them do it, and now it seems that the results are quite fruitful.

"Well, not bad." Fan Xian nodded, "What about He Zongwei?"

"That person is a little bit reticent, but I have already started from his family. The old man of the He family still likes some antique calligraphy and paintings. Now I have sent a few copies to the old man. I believe that in time, He Zongwei will definitely be able to do it. The attack is self-defeating." Xia Qifei said.

Only then did Fan Xian nod his head.

"I've almost made arrangements for the affairs in the south of the Yangtze River." Xia Qifei said, "I have enclosed a piece of land in the south of the Yangtze River. After measuring, it will be half larger than the current Ming Garden. This time, when the princess arrives, I can supervise and start Build a garden."

Fan Xian nodded. Building a livable house in the south of the Yangtze River was also a task that Fan Xian had assigned. Xia Qifei did not delay long and had already completed the site selection. Fan Xian said, "Good job. Are you still used to it?"

"Get used to it. There aren't many chores here. The things in the water village below don't overlap at all, and it's getting easier to do." Xia Qifei said, "There hasn't been much change in Jiangnan during this period of time, but there is one thing. Your lord may want to let you know about this matter, the Overwatch Council on the Jiangnan side has already heard about this matter, but we haven't found out exactly what happened."

Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei and asked, "Let's hear it."

"There may be some situation in Dongyi City. This situation may affect the communication between Taiping Bank and other places. Moreover, the owner of Dongyi City may already be seriously ill. If he dies, the matter Things might get serious." Xia Qifei said.

Fan Xian frowned. He knew that although Dongyi City was called a city, it was actually a country. As a smaller country, although it couldn't compete with Qing in terms of military strength, there was a great master in the country after all. , sitting on the Sigu sword in the sword furnace, and the city lord of Dongyi city is His Majesty the emperor. If the emperor dies at this time, there may be great changes in the business of the inner treasury and Dongyi city.

There was no news from the Overwatch Council yet, and Fan Xian didn't intend to act rashly, so he said directly, "I know about this matter, if there is anything else, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes, my lord." The two stood up together and walked outside.

After the door closed, Fan Xian muttered to himself.

The royal family of Dongyi City...

Four Gu Sword...
