As the candlelight swayed, Fan Yan leaned on the bed and thought quietly about the rise of the Fan family. Since his father began to do business, he has been following him. The man who made Guangde grow little by little was the father and son.

What was Fan Ru doing at that time? He was studying behind closed doors and reading the Four Books and Five Classics. According to his father, the eldest son had to inherit the family business. It would be better for him to get a fame and fortune in order to gain a fortune. As for the second child in the family, then follow the business and make more money, and then provide his brother with the fame and fortune in the exam.

Unfortunately, my brother was just a fool who was stupid in his studies. He did not make any progress in his studies at the juren level. He always thought about using the money earned by his brothers to buy houses and land. He also spent money to make friends with the powerful and wealthy people in the capital like flowing water, hoping to restore the status of the royal merchant in his family.

Not only that, when he became the head of the family, he became more stubborn and insisted on dressing up his family like a poem and book passed down from his family. He did not do anything about all the strict rules, and he copied them all in his own family, even even more than that.

In the past, Fan Jian endured it for the benefit of the family, but this year the elder brother became even more aggressive and forced his favorite concubine to death. Now he even extended his magic hand to Hu Niu.

"It's unbearable. I didn't have a renewal for both Hu Niu and his mother. The main room is empty now. The two of them are my heart's flesh! You killed Hu Niu's mother, do you still want to use 110,000 yuan to threaten me now? Isn't it just that I don't leave the public account? I don't care..."

Fan Jian thought of pounding the bed hard, and even said everything in his heart, "The worst is that the family can be divided, the worst is that everything can be done again..."

As he was talking, a low sigh suddenly came from outside the window, "Oh... If Manager Fan had already had this enlightenment, why would this be like this!"

"Who?" Fan Jian sat up at that time, and then a familiar face pushed in the door.

"Mr. Xiao!" Fan Jian shouted out at that time, and Xiao Letian was so scared that he covered his mouth. "My old shopkeeper, are you trying to kill me? I didn't even leave my braids, you can attract the government's people..."

Storekeeper Fan was excited at the time and kept coughing. Xiao Letian quickly helped him and gently patted the back. "No need to say more about the old storekeeper, I know the situation. This time I came here to solve the crisis in front of the storekeeper. But... I want to ask Storekeeper Fan, how brave are you? How brave are you?"

Fan Jian coughed dryly for a while, and looked at Xiao Letian with a flushed face, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. I have a great wealthy man who wants to give it to others, but it requires a very brave businessman to be able to eat it. If the old shopkeeper doesn't even dare to split up, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this great wealth!"

"How big is the wealthy person?" When it comes to business, Shopkeeper Fan recovered from illness at that time.

"How old? Haha, from foreigners to you, you must be polite, from so big that you can sit with the foreign government to discuss business, and in the end, even the Qing court dared not kill you..." Xiao Letian almost said this sentence with his back teeth. Fan Jian was scared and sweated coldly at that time.

"Splitting the family? Foreigners? Court? My mother, sir, are you kidding me?" Fan Jian was obviously scared by Xiao Letian's tone.

Not to mention foreigners and the court, splitting up families was considered indecent or even ruthless in ancient ethics. The first time to update in the late Qing society, it was impossible to split up families unless it was absolutely necessary. Unless the poor could not survive, or the family was too large, people would consider splitting up families.

If Fan Jian proposes to separate the family now, let alone how much property he can get, he can drown him with the spits of people from all over the countryside. Moreover, countless partners will re-examine Fan Jian, and even cut off cooperative relationships because they think you are unfaithful and unfilial.

To put it bluntly, once the family is divided, the punishment is more serious than the skin loss. What Manager Fan said just now is just an angry speech, but he didn't expect Xiao Letian to hear it.

"Shopkeeper Fan, let me tell you the truth. This set of wealth is too great. I don't want to give your brother a little bit. Moreover, this set of wealth requires people to keep a secret. The fewer people know, the better..." As he said this, Xiao Letian suddenly took out a big black pocket from his arms and poured the things inside on the bed.

At that time, Fan Jian's eyes widened. What a guy's bed was full of Dongzhu, all of which were top-notch Dongzhu, as well as large pieces of jade and mutton fat. Fan Jian's family also operated a pawnshop business, and his vision was no less than that of a high-level Chaofeng. After a little estimate in his mind, this bag of treasures was worth at least 30,000 taels.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?" Fan Jian quickly collected the east beads rolling on the bed one by one. When he touched the warm touch, the old man felt a little trembling. This roundness and such a large one were almost up to the standards used by the Wang Jue Dynasty beads. If he was sent to Beijing City... the old man would not dare to think that this was so popular.

"I brought five bags of such a baby today. I think it's enough for you to escape this difficulty, right?" Xiao Letian looked at Fan Jian with a smile as if he knew that this old man could not escape his palm even if he beat him to death. Updated as soon as possible.

Fan Jian is not at all sick now. As a top professional businessman in the Qing Dynasty, he has absolute professional qualities. At this time, the old man returned to his usual shrewdness in business. He stood on the ground and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian.

"Mr. Xiao saved the entire caravan at the mountain temple. We all owe you endless favors. Now you have to help the old man through this difficulty. To be honest, I am afraid... Sir, please lift the lid happily. You can't guess this dull gourd at all..."

Xiao Letian took a gift from Fan Jian casually. The wealth he was going to give him was too great. Even if he was his future father-in-law, he had to distinguish the primary and secondary. This is the principle of business negotiation. Please come to more and faster chapters. Fan Jian gave me a gift, which has already admitted that he was already at a disadvantage in this negotiation.

"Don't do this by the old shopkeeper, it's broken, it's broken..." Xiao Letianfei and others bent their waists to ninety degrees before they helped them.

"Shopkeeper Fan, please be calm and help me see this thing first." After that, Wuchang took out a stack of paper from his arms, which were the first ten chapters of the novel he wrote, Prince Enrique's adventure.

Fan Yan took the draft in surprise, but as soon as he read the beginning, the old man's hand trembled, "Sir... Sir, tell me, is this a pure fantasy? Or is it all true?"

Xiao Letian tapped the armrest of the Taishi Chair with his fingers and said in a very stinky way, "The real real history is what happened in various countries in Europe. I just described it in the technique of storytelling novels. In fact, I also want hundreds of millions of people at the bottom of the Qing Dynasty to know the details of foreigners!"

"Why are foreigners strong? Why are we weak? When we are three or two a day, how do people in the horizon live, what are they learning? What are they doing? Why can they beat our Qing Dynasty to the ground again and again? These answers are explained in the book..."

"Even the filth between foreigners is recorded here. Who has a grudge with whom? Who has a grudge with whom? Who has a closer relationship with whom cultural heritage, and even the most beautiful women in that country are recorded here. Hahaha, to be honest, this can even bring out the old foundation of foreigners..."

Xiao Letian was confident. He firmly believed that the Qing Dynasty could not refuse the incense bait he threw out. In the late Qing Dynasty, the literati and doctor class, even the more enlightened businessmen, did not want to know the details of foreigners. More and faster chapters were invited. As early as when Lin Zexu was discontinuing cigarettes in Humen, he entrusted his friend Wei Yuan to organize information and write a book detailing overseas. This is the famous "Haiguo Tuzhi" in the late Qing Dynasty.

But Wei Yuan had never been to the West after all, and he only passively translated some Western works. In the process of writing books, he inevitably had to add some of his own subjective guesses or translation mistakes. What's more serious is that Wei Yuan was a scholar who came out of the Confucian soil. He was so arrogant that he put forward a slogan of "learning from the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians."

Let’s take a look. In fact, this idea is the same as the theory proposed by Zhang Zhidong that “middle school is the body and Western learning is the application”. The Chinese literati’s rejection of the Western world from their core has almost been engraved into their bones.

"Old shopkeeper, I can tell you clearly that once this book appears, the world will never be confused again. From now on, any enlightened person who wants to understand the West will read my book and fall under my door wall. Hahaha..." Xiao Letian's laughter was extremely cold, and Fan Yan had goose bumps when he heard it.

"Haha, because there is no other person who can write a more comprehensive, specific and practical article than mine. I will be the ancestor who studied Western learning in the Qing Dynasty..."

With a bang, Manager Fan knocked over the cup on the coffee table, and his face turned yellow with trembling hands. He knew that Xiao Letian did not brag. If this book was really as he said, then Xiao Letian was not bragging as an ancestor of Western learning. Others were not convinced? If you don’t agree, you can write one!

"Sir, establish a sect? Sir, you want to establish a sect!" Fan Jian felt his knees weak. Although he hated corrupt scholars like his brother, he respected the great sages who could establish a sect from the bottom of his bones. In ancient times, the people's admiration for top literati could be described as fanatic.

Xiao Letian straightened the teacup and smiled slightly, "I'm writing the book, but the printing work is too cumbersome..."

"It's in me, in me! I don't know how to repay the kindness of my husband. Now I can give me some effort. Even if I devote myself to my life to the death, I will still do it for you beautiful things..." Fan Jian felt that he was about to float up. He sponsored a great writer who started a sect and might leave me a sum in history books in the future.

Xiao Letian nodded, "This is the first thing, the second thing has something to do with money. The jewelry I brought today is actually a disguised return of the 110,000 yuan silver to you, the shopkeeper. I think it should not be difficult to fill this little hole with these jewelry with your skills in business for many years..." Xiao Letian clapped his hands, and a man in a night clothes walked past the door, holding the remaining jewelry in his arms.

When it comes to doing business, Fan Jian was energetic at that time, "The jewelry given by the gentleman can be turned into at least 150,000 yuan in cash if it is in my hands. My friends in the capital can gather the money together by just getting it together. I can even hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly. Anyway, for them, treasures are better than silver..."

"That's good, that's good. After this batch of jewelry is taken, I will have new jewelry to hand over to you. I need the old shopkeeper's connection to turn these treasures into cash silver, and it is best to have scattered silver... Remember, I don't want gold or silver notes. I want scattered silver that can be seen by my eyes and touched by my hands..."

Manager Fan was stunned at the time. He didn't know what Xiao Letian was selling. Just as he was about to ask carefully, a gentle tap suddenly came from the window frame.
