Today, if Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng hadn't reported Fan Yongdou's activities in the capital, Zhu Youjian wouldn't have had the mood to set Fan Yongdou up.
At this time, Tian Ergeng followed Zhu Youjian like a lackey. Wei Zhongxian was too famous. He was a big celebrity and many people knew him.
He couldn't stay by Zhu Youjian's side and was kicked away by him to interrogate Slave Jian.
With Wei Zhongxian around, he couldn't do anything freely.
Tian Ergeng had always known that the current emperor liked to go out incognito for private visits, so he had also learned from those system professionals who were proficient in disguising.
Today, in order to follow the emperor, he immediately put on some makeup after the emperor left the palace. He looked like an old butler in his fifties.
"Young Master, Fan Yongdou went to several houses today but he didn't succeed. It seems that Young Master's anti-corruption campaign has succeeded.”
"Little Tian, I don't have any other ideas. It's a piece of cake for me to deal with this bunch of trash.”
Tian Ergeng didn't think that the emperor was acting pretentious. The emperor really didn't use much strength. He just borrowed strength to fight back and swept away the filth in the court.
In the eyes of the scholars, the Son of Heaven was indeed a bloodthirsty master, a tyrant, and had nothing to do with a benevolent ruler.
In the eyes of the common people, the Son of Heaven was wise and mighty, a benevolent Lord that only appeared once in a thousand years.
Ever since Zhu Youjian launched an iron fist attack and promoted the Huangzhuang large farm model, the lives of the common people were better. They were no longer in a miserable situation where they could not afford to eat or wear clothes.
What he respected and admired the most was:
The East and West Second Plants and the Jinyiwei, the three big families, had a bad reputation in the hands of the past emperors.
Now that the Emperor had sent more than 10,000 system soldiers in, the reputation of the Second East and West Plants and the Embroidered Uniform Guards had improved.
After the initial reorganization of the capital region, the people were no longer afraid of the Jinyiwei and the Second East and West Factories. Instead, they treated the Three Malicious Dogs as their own protective umbrella.
Whenever local tyrants and evil officials appeared, when they could not get the local government to uphold justice, they actually treated the three major institutions as a place to hear the heavens and uphold justice for them.
After experiencing it a few times, Tian Ergeng's awareness had improved. He suddenly felt that this was the life he wanted.
Zhu Youjian was not interested in knowing what Tian Ergeng was thinking.
He wanted to know if Fan Yongdou was still in the capital!
"Xiao Tian, is that traitor Fan Yongdou still in the capital?”
"Reporting to Young Master, he is still waiting quietly in the inn and has no intention of leaving.”
"That's good!"
Zhu Youjian told Tian Ergeng what he said, and Tian Ergeng went to invite Fan Yongdou to this inn for a secret discussion.
After a while, Fan Yongdou came to the inn with enthusiasm!
Their attitude was extremely respectful. There was no other way. The capital region was now shrouded in the iron fist of the emperor's anti-corruption campaign. No official dared to risk their lives to protect them.
"Fan Yongdou greets Young Master!"
Fan Yongdou knew that this young master in front of him must be the new person behind the Northern Group.
His appearance should have been pushed by his family.
"Hehe, just call me Young Master Huang. My uncle is the chief assistant of the current dynasty!”
Zhu Youjian directly sold Huang Liji out!
Huang Liji was currently the emperor's subordinate, and he was even more popular!
Fan Yongdou was overjoyed. He also went to Chief Huang Liji's mansion, but was mercilessly rejected.
Now that he had sent his nephew out, there was clearly hope!
He immediately took out a jade Guanyin carved from suet white jade. It was expensive.
Such a big gift from the start showed that Fan Yongdou and the other Jin merchants were really anxious.
"Young Master Huang, this is a gift from this lowly one to Young Master. I hope Young Master will not dislike it!”
Fan Yongdou was extremely excited, but he restrained himself and did not expose the platform that the person in front of him had pushed out.
However, he was confident that he could deal with this young master in front of him.
Because Zhu Youjian was looking at the jade Guanyin carved out of suet white jade with a satisfied expression.
"Mr. Fan, you're not bad. I like you very much!”
After saying that, he immediately handed the jade Guanyin to Tian Ergeng." Xiao Tian, keep this thing well. This is a treasure. It's very rare in the market.”
"I know…"
Zhu Youjian and Tian Ergeng echoed each other, acting as a butler and a young master with flexibility.
"Mister Fan, I know why you are here. However, you also know that Zhu Chunchen, that pig, has directly ruined our plans.”
Fan Yongdou's face was also filled with anger as he said indignantly,"We didn't have much to do with him, but he insisted on being smart and ruined our plans. Now that the Young Master was here to take charge of the situation in the north, it was perfect.”
Fan Yongdou knew that Zhu Chunchen, this pig, was dead. His entire family was dead.
Huang Liji did not want to give up on the big cake in the north, so he pushed his nephew to be the spokesperson.
"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.
As long as Mr. Fan can afford to give us enough benefits, we will take care of your business.”
"Young Master, for everyone's benefit, as long as Young Master helps to cover up and make a safe transaction, we will give Young Master a share of the price of the goods.”
Fan Yongdou gave all the profits to Huang Liji. This way, he could guarantee the profits of the materials that Zhang Jiakou Fort could export.
He didn't lose anything. He only gave the profits to Huang Liji. His profits weren't reduced at all.
Zhu Youjian shook his head." It's not enough. We also have supplies to follow up with. We'll hand them over to Mr. Fan…"
Fan Yongdou hurriedly said," This is a small matter. Even if Young Master doesn't say it, I know what to do. I won't let Young Master suffer."”
Zhu Youjian sighed,"We all know that Mister Fan is active in the capital. Therefore, the northern lords elected his uncle as the temporary leader.
Everyone knew that the emperor was furious and was currently in the capital region.
Everyone's days were not good. They were all waiting for this batch of supplies to have a good year.”
Fan Yongdou understood that the nobles of the north were under strict supervision and could not get out to control the interests of the northern group.
Huang Liji was different. He was the head of the cabinet and was deeply trusted by the emperor. If he came forward, it would not be a problem for him to get out of the Great Wall.
This time, Zhu Youjian was prepared to play big. He had decided to give the Tartars and Slave Jian ten million dan of grain, and Fan Yongdou was going to sell the discarded weapons.
As for the ten million dan of grain, Zhu Youjian had already thought about it. He would specially treat the grain. It would be fine to eat a small amount, but if he ate it for a long time, there would definitely be problems.
Weakening one's constitution was one of the reasons. The second reason was that eating it for a month would definitely kill one!
To put it bluntly, what Zhu Youjian gave was a slow-acting poison. It was a great merit for Zhu Youjian to kill a batch of Tartars and Jian Slaves.
"Mr. Fan, we will be offering ten million dans of grain and three hundred thousand sets of weapons. They are all the best preparations of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether or not the people in the north had the ability to buy it was a huge sum of money. If they did not have enough silver, they could use horses, cattle, sheep, and other items to trade.”
Ten million dan of grain was worth ten million taels in the market.
It was impossible to get out of the fortress without 15 million taels of silver.
Adding on a set of Great Ming equipment, the starting price was fifty taels. It was impossible to complete the transaction without fifteen million taels of silver for three hundred thousand sets.
This was also the reason why Zhu Youjian set Fan Yongdou, the Northern Jian Nu, and the Tartars up.
Anyway, there were still 400,000 sets of equipment in the Arsenal that had been eliminated.
The weapons that Da Ming was currently equipped with were all the pinnacle cold weapons that Zhu Youjian had exchanged for with value points.
Whether it was in terms of quality or power, they were not on the same level. Zhu Youjian could afford to play with them, and he could even empty the pockets of Jian Nu and Tartars.
This was the only time they could trick him this year. In the next wave, they would continue to trick him until Slave Jian went south. Then, they would be able to rob the eight Jin merchants.
He spat out whatever he ate, and so did Slave Jian!
