Chapter Six Hundred and Sixteenth Beat, Test, Prepare

Fang Xing was eating noodles, not because he didn't want to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but because the cooks in the army made noodles today. Ω E small Δ said WwW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

The hot pot noodles cooked in a large pot are actually not unpalatable. First use the onion, ginger, garlic and sliced ​​meat in the hot pot, add water to boil the noodles, and season the noodles after the noodles are almost ready.

The taste is strong!

Fang Xing chewed on the table, and the aroma wafted into Hu Erwen's nose. The corners of his eyes twitched, but he still kept smiling.

After eating the noodles, Fang Xing wiped his mouth, and then suddenly realized: "Shopkeeper Hu is still kneeling! Get up quickly."

Hu Erwen felt that his knees were not his own anymore. He stood up with difficulty. He thought that Fang Xing would give him a seat, but Fang Xing took a sip of tea and asked contentedly, "Ben Bo has some business to do later, shopkeeper Hu has something to do." Just say it quickly."

If you use negotiation to describe this meeting, Hu Erwen thinks this is not a good start.

"Uncle, I'm very excited when I hear that Uncle is here for the salt administration. I came to disturb Uncle this early in the morning, just to see if there is anything that needs a little effort."

"oh!"

Fang Xing said unexpectedly: "Shopkeeper Hu seems to have a deep sense of righteousness!"

"It should be, it should be."

If Miao Chengfu were here, he would definitely think that Hu Erwen, who did not forget to maintain his elegant demeanor at that moment in the past, was a fake.

Fang Xing glanced at the flattering smiling face, and said angrily: "I was ordered to come to Yangzhou Mansion, I thought that the local gentry would be willing to help, but who would have thought that you have only come here until now, this is despising Your Majesty! This is trampling on Bember's dignity! Deserve to be killed!"

Hu Erwen pretended to wipe his sweat, taking the opportunity to hide a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Do you think I, Hu Erwen, would believe such a pretentious statement?

After Fang Xing sprayed for a few minutes, he panted and said, "Since shopkeeper Hu is willing to cooperate, then Uncle Ben will ask you, what is the reason for the lack of salt in the market?"

Hu Erwendui laughed and said, "Uncle, it's a long story..."

"Then keep it short and focus!"

Fang Xing rudely interrupted Hu Erwen,

Huang Zhong smiled apologetically at Hu Erwen and pointed to his forehead, implying that Fang Xing has not been in a good mood recently.

Hu Erwen hurriedly said: "Since His Majesty's imperial decree was issued, the little guy has no complaints, but the guys scattered all over the place are a little unwilling, feeling that they will have nowhere to go in the future, lazy, stealing salt, stealing money... ..."

Hu Erwen said sincerely: "Uncle, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My subordinates have recently sent out more than a dozen guys who ran away with money or salt. I can't control it!"

"Snapped!"

Fang Xing slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "This kind of slave is hateful! Has shopkeeper Hu ever reported to the officials?"

Hu Erwen sighed and said: "Do not expose your family ugliness to the outside world! If others find out about it, it will have a great impact on your reputation, so the young ones have to quietly ask people to investigate."

Fang Xing's anger suddenly subsided, and he said indifferently: "Master Hu, if Ben Bo orders you to make up for the lack of salt immediately, how about it?"

Huang Zhong added with a smile: "My uncle has a lot of affairs in Jinling, and the matter of salt administration cannot be delayed!"

Fang Xing said reservedly: "Benbo has an academy in his hand, and he still has to go to teach every day, and His Royal Highness's daily homework can't stop there, if His Majesty didn't value it, I would never come to this ghostly place! "

"Uncle is pedantic about heaven and man, and the young ones are only admired, but..."

Hu Erwen said with a sad face: "Uncle, the salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture are in a mess now, and the people under them are all thinking about it. It's difficult!"

Fang Xing patted the table and said disdainfully: "Then you are rejecting Ben's kindness! Huh?"

Hu Erwen hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Uncle, the little words are true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask any salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture who have not encountered such a bad luck. Now everyone wants to stop quickly, but it is a pity. The speed is too slow."

"roll!"

Fang Xing grabbed the brush washer on the table and tried to throw it away, scaring Hu Erwen to run away with his head in his arms.

"Uncle, I'm willing to share my worries for uncle..."

The voice is still in my ears, but the person has long since disappeared, Fang Xing smiled, "This person is flexible."

Huang Zhong said with a smile: "This person seems humble, but he is secretly observing Uncle. Today's beating, the effect is unspeakable."

"Not knocking."

Fang Xing got up and said: "This person can be regarded as a prominent figure among the Lianghuai salt merchants. If he wants to be subdued, he only needs to come quietly at night. Would those brothers who watch the night kill him! So Ah! This guy is here to test him out, so he can take a look at Benbo's quality, so it's easy to deal with."

Huang Zhong showed a cold expression, "Uncle, this person should be punished!"

Fang Xing walked slowly to the door, and sighed: "The sky is high and the clouds are calm, this is the best time for three or five friends to go out for an outing, listen to the pines, and drink fine wine. It's very pleasant!"

kill? Fang Xing didn't think it was a good idea.

Once Hu Erwen is captured, the Yangzhou salt merchants will inevitably become jittery. When everyone is in danger, no one will take the risk.

"Come on, let's go for a walk."

...

When Hu Erwen got into the carriage, the flattering smile and panic on his face disappeared immediately, and he snorted coldly, "Sure enough, there is a fraud."

Lifting the curtain in front, Hu Erwen said, "Go to Miao's house."

When they arrived at Miao's house, Hu Erwen didn't care about Miao Chengfu's stinky face, and directly described the process of meeting Fang Xing just now.

"...This person seems to be laughing and cursing, but his words are beating, and he is even threatening behind him. Shopkeeper Miao, we have to be careful."

Miao Chengfu sneered and said: "That Fang Xing said he was magnanimous. Now that we have reached this point, whoever is subdued will die! How?"

Hu Erwen nodded and said: "That's exactly what you said. Looking at His Majesty's previous handling methods, we are actually standing under the knife's edge. Does shopkeeper Miao have a good plan?"

Miao Chengfu's eyes turned cold, and after seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice, "Do you dare to go out?"

Hu Erwen was shocked, he took a step back and said, "If you want to go, you are also going to Japan!"

"So you already have plans!"

Miao Chengfu sneered: "If you go to the Japanese country, unless you are a pirate, those Japanese people will definitely rob us and kill us."

"But it's bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and those Mongolian people are not good at it!"

Hu Erwen agrees with Miao Chengfu, but he is worried that if he goes outside the Great Wall, he will be robbed by the Mongolian people to become slaves.

Miao Chengfu said proudly: "I have a fellow villager who is with the Wala people. Not only is the business booming, but he is also highly valued by the Wala people. He has married seven or eight wives. He has already persuaded me to go. Wala did it to him."

Hu Erwen said with some hesitation: "But let's go with the money and family, will the Wala people..."

"At that time, just trick dozens of craftsmen to go together."

Miao Chengfu obviously had plans long ago: "The Wala people are so thirsty for the businessmen, literati and craftsmen of Ming Dynasty! Let's go there, we will definitely be able to make great achievements!"

Hu Erwen was a little hesitant, everyone was a businessman, Miao Chengfu knew what he was worried about, so he raised his hand and swore: "If I, Miao Chengfu, try to take over Hu Erwen's family business, let me kill off my children and grandchildren, and devote myself to being an animal forever."

Hu Erwen also raised his hand and said: "If I, Hu Erwen, are sorry for Miao Chengfu, my descendants will steal women and prostitutes!"

"Snapped!"

Two hands clashed in the air, and laughter was heard in the room.

"My lord, Xing and Bo spread the word that they are inviting salt merchants from Yangzhou Prefecture to dinner at Laiyunlou, and if they don't go for half an hour, their families will be confiscated."
