Fan Yongdou originally thought that although the status of the envoy of the Qing Dynasty was noble, he was only a businessman after all, and based on the principle of reciprocity, he should be someone with a not particularly high official rank. No matter how powerful Fan Yongdou was in Shanxi, he knew that he would not be the same as Fang Mengting.

Compared with Shanxi's top leaders, he was still a little inferior, so he didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty would send any big shots, but he never expected that the Qing Dynasty would really do it.

In order to save his face, he sent a military advisor as soon as he came up. Even Fan Yongdou was a businessman and he absolutely understood the status of a military advisor. He was the mastermind of an army, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number two figure. Huang Taiji actually valued Fan Yongdou so much.

They used military advisors from the very beginning of the contact, which really touched Fan Yongdou. Although he had been in business for many years, there is a saying that no businessman is a profiteer, and Fan Yongdou is a complete profiteer.

His heart was as hard as stone, but even so, Fan Yongdou was shocked when he heard Ning Wanwo introduce himself to his family. Huang Taiji was such a courteous and virtuous corporal, how could Fan Yongdou not look at him with dignity? Fan Yongdou immediately stood up and bowed: "

I didn't expect that the military advisor is here. I really don't know the truth." Ning Wanmei waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, in your house, I am just a guest.

"Yes, but Mr. Fan must understand that the emperor still values ​​Mr. Fan very much, otherwise he would not have sent me here." Fan Yongdou kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. After I finished speaking, I said it was true. If

Huang Taiji didn't like him and would not let such a big person come, but on the other hand, this also shows that Huang Taiji definitely wants Fan Yongdou to do something big. What big thing is it? Fan Yongdou is now as worried as a cat.

of.

After Ning Wan, I didn't go directly to the topic. Instead, I took a sip of tea and asked, "Mr. Fan, please sit down. We don't have to be formal. We just chat like usual. I also have some questions to ask Mr. Fan." Fan Yongdou leaned forward.

After a while, he said, "It doesn't matter if you ask for a military advisor." Ning Wanmei said, "Actually, I often heard of Mr.

Speaking of which, sir, you can say that you have no equal in the northwest and border areas, and I admire you." Fan Yongdou immediately said modestly: "Thank you, sir. What I did was just a small fight, nothing compared to the Qing Dynasty." Ning Wan

I smiled and said: "Haha, sir, there is no need to be modest. I would like to ask, sir, how deep is your contact with the Ming Dynasty's frontier army?" Fan Yongdou was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Ning Wanme had asked such a sensitive question.

, Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment and then closed his mouth. Yes, his trade relations with the border troops were indeed very deep, but after all, Ning Wan and I are the military advisor of the Qing Dynasty. It is impossible to say that Fan Yongdou has no psychological defense at all. Seeing Fan Yongdou wants to

After I stopped talking, I sneered in my heart after Ning Wan. He was indeed an old fox. Well, let's give him a little sweetness first. After Ning Wan, I coughed and said, "Sir, don't worry about it. I'm just asking, sir."

You must know that this time the emperor personally compiled a letter and sent it to you. This shows your sincerity. Otherwise, no matter how powerful your husband is in the northwest, he is just a businessman at best. The emperor is speaking to you on behalf of the entire Qing Dynasty. Could it be that he is still talking to you?

Do you think we are not sincere? Of course, when it comes to business, the emperor’s intention is very clear. We hope that you, sir, can cooperate with us, and the benefits afterwards will definitely not be lost to you."

Fan Yongdou was stunned and immediately said: "I don't know what kind of cooperation the military advisor is talking about. I am just a businessman. If we provide supplies to the Qing Dynasty, we can still do it. After all, we also have a lot of contacts with the grassland. It is completely possible.

We can find a way to transport supplies to you, and if the Qing Dynasty has further requirements, we can also meet them, such as weapons and armor." Fan Yongdou gritted his teeth, knowing that this was already the content of his business.

I have finished revealing it to Ning. Weapons and armor are absolutely banned products. It is better not to be known by others. If anyone knows that he actually sold these things to the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji, even if he has deep roots in Shanxi, I am afraid that

The imperial court could not tolerate him in terms of face. Ning Wan shook his head and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Fan underestimates us too much. It is true that the weapons and armor you said are a good thing, but we in the Qing Dynasty do not lack you.

thing,

What we want is greater benefits. There is a truth, you know, the greater the risk, the higher the return. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, are you still worried about losing money? It’s not just money. The emperor has already agreed and asked me to tell you.

You, he is willing to let you become an imperial merchant of the Qing Dynasty and carry out trade activities on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. As long as it is successful, Mr. Fan, you can also be awarded an official position in the Qing Dynasty. You may also become the Minister of Household Affairs of the Qing Dynasty.

trade by

You have the final say." Ning Wan and I suddenly dropped a bombshell. Of course, Ning Wan and I were deceiving in it. Although the Qing Dynasty cannot currently compare with the size of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Qing Dynasty

The position of Minister is obviously also a great one. According to the current ratio of Han ministers to Manchu ministers in the Qing Dynasty, it should be impossible for a businessman like Fan Yongdou to take his turn. But Ning Wan, I can't control that much now, so I'll throw the carrot out first.

.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Wanwo finished speaking, Fan Yongdou trembled all over. He didn't know whether what Ning Wanwo said was true, but the temptation was too great. The Minister of Household Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and he could also

Controlling the trade of the entire Qing Dynasty, is Huang Taiji really willing to let Fan Yongdou manage all these commercial activities? If this is really the case, Fan Yongdou is the richest man in the world, and what else can he do?

Is there anything more profitable than controlling a country's economy? Seeing Fan Yongdou's eyes straighten, Ning Wan and I sneered. It seems that Fan Yongdou is tempted. Now is the time to make a request, "Ahem, Mr. Fan, I

What I just said is not bragging, it is what the emperor himself said. You also know that the emperor of a country cannot make conditions casually. It is really surprising that Mr. Fan can be so favored by the emperor.

Jealousy. But..." At this point, Ning Wanme gave up. Fan Yongdou said: "But what?" Ning Wanme said: "Haha, but sir, you should also show your sincerity. For example,

What can you do for our Qing Dynasty?" Fan Yongdou immediately stood up and saluted and said: "If there is anything the military advisor needs me to do, it doesn't matter." Seeing that Fan Yongdou was already a little shaken, Ning Wan and I also stood up and said: "

Without him, I hope you can do a small thing for us. The Qing army will enter the customs soon, and we still need your help. As long as you can help us enter the customs, you can rest assured that all your interests will be guaranteed by us, the Qing Dynasty, and we will

I will give you a huge dividend after the work is completed. From now on, all trade with the Qing Dynasty will go through you, Mr. Fan, and only you, Mr. Fan, can directly connect with our Qing Dynasty court."

With a bang, Fan Yongdou smashed the tea cup in front of him. He couldn't believe Ning Wan's words. It wasn't that the benefits he gave were enough, but that the things he asked himself to do were too shocking. What,

Helping the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs? What is the concept? Doesn't this mean that he will surrender to the enemy and betray the country? Although Fan Yongdou is a profiteer, there is no problem with playing sideways, but let him

Directly participating in the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is something Fan Yongdou has never done before. How big the risk is, even if Ning Wan doesn't tell me, Fan Yongdou can imagine it with his toes. "Why, sir, you don't want to?"

Ning Wanmei said with some displeasure. "No, no, just, just..." Fan Yongdou was a little incoherent, which showed that he was very upset at the moment.

Ning Wan, of course I know Fan Yongdou's inner activities. This matter is indeed a bit big for him as a businessman, but now the Qing Dynasty has no better way. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If they want them to attack the border, they will definitely do it.

The difficulty coefficient is greatly increased, and their whereabouts will be exposed secondly. The best way is to make a sneak attack. As long as the sneak attack can be successful, tens of thousands of knights will be killed.

When the soldiers entered the pass, it was an uninhabited territory, and the person who held the key to breaking through the border pass was none other than Fan Yongdou. Ning Wanme added more: "This is the sincerity of the emperor, and it is also the sincerity of our Qing Dynasty. Sir, you might as well take a look first."

After saying that, after Ning Wan, I took out a piece of paper from my arms and placed it in front of Fan Yongdou, and then gave Fan Yongdou a small gold token.

Fan Yongdou opened the letter and saw that it was another letter written by Huang Taiji. It said, "Seeing the golden talisman is like seeing me. With this golden talisman, the territory of the Qing Dynasty can flow unimpeded." Fan Yongdou couldn't help shaking as he held the letter in his hands.

After I finished, I touched my mustache. This was the secret weapon Huang Taiji gave him, the Golden Talisman of the Great Khan. Although

Huang Taiji is now the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but the Golden Talisman of the Great Khan is still valid. In fact, it is just a matter of identity conversion. Huang Taiji’s Golden Talisman of the Great Khan is actually equivalent to Chongzhen’s Ouchi Gold Medal. As long as you have this gold

The talisman can indeed be walked sideways in the Qing Dynasty, because this golden talisman is like Huang Taiji's personal presence.

.What a great favor this is to Fan Yongdou. It is equivalent to Huang Taiji recognizing Fan Yongdou's status. Fan Yongdou was just a businessman in the Ming Dynasty. No matter how big his industry was, he was still a businessman, but in the Qing Dynasty, he actually owned

Regarding political status, Fan Yongdou was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. Ning

Wan I struck while the iron was hot: "How about it, Mr. Fan, are you willing to cooperate with us, the Qing Dynasty now?" Fan Yongdou bowed to the ground and said to Ning Wan I: "Ask the military advisor, as long as I, Fan Yongdou, can do it, I will risk my life.
