The food sold was used by the enemies of the Ming Empire.
As long as the Tartars were on good terms with the Empire, they would directly trade with them in Zhang Jiakou Fort. They would not let the Eight Great Jin Merchants earn this amount of money.
Especially after Zhu Youjian came to power, he directly blocked the two exits of Shanhaiguan and Miyun. He could only go through the route of Zhang Jiakou Fort.
All the passes in the northeast were sealed off. Unless it was the goods that the empire was transporting to Liaodong, the rest were all under investigation.
Datong Town and Xuanfu Town were the main roads leading to the Great Wall, but Yan Yingyuan and Lu Xiangsheng were the emperor's confidants and could not be bought over with money.
Zhang Jiakou Fort allowed trade. After all, there were many Tartars who came to trade. They were all in their own formations, and the tribes were not united.
However, these tribes all had transaction lists and proof of coming out of seclusion.
Fan Yongdou and the other traitorous merchants were selling prohibited items, so they didn't dare to do it openly.
If it weren't for the Emperor's secret edict and the supervision of the Jinyiwei and the Second East and West Factories, Lu Xiangsheng would have led his troops to raid the homes of the eight traitors.
As more and more information was gathered, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan, the two commanders-in-chief, were really angry.
As close ministers of the emperor and promoted by the emperor, the two of them were grateful to the emperor.
Moreover, the two of them were very young now. They had not passed the second year of middle school and could be considered hot-blooded young generals.
As long as one cared about the good generals of the empire, they would hate this group of traitors!
It was because of this that they understood why the emperor wanted to kill them and take care of the interest group led by the northern dignitaries.
Now that the northern merchants wanted to come out of seclusion, no one could do anything without the emperor's approval.
The border generals that Zhu Youjian chose were all loyal to him.
Without the emperor's order, even the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Second East and West Depots could not bring the supplies out of the exit.
The three battalions of the capital had been abolished by the emperor, and a new army of three hundred thousand soldiers had been established.
On the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, three important towns had already been easily taken down by the emperor.
If they didn't fulfill the expectations of the emperor, they wouldn't have the face to see him.
Fan Yongdou was truly terrified and anxious. If the materials he had hoarded could not come out of seclusion, the losses would be too great. The eight Jin merchants could not afford the price of 20 million.
Slave Jian was going south next year, which was no secret to these loyal traitors.
Fan Yongdou even had to carry out Slave Jian's mission:
After Jian Nu went south, Fan Yongdou and the other traitors had to work together from the inside and outside to conquer the passes of the Ming Empire.
Since he was the guide, the benefits that Huang Taiji gave were something that Fan Yongdou and the other traitors couldn't refuse.
Because Slave Jian had gone south, apart from weapons, food, cloth, and people, the rest of the pearls, jade, gold, and silver would be left to them.
These are gold, silver, and jewelry as a deposit for the materials needed to purchase Slave Jian!
What made the traitors jealous was that the price was still 50% of the market price!
It could be said that if Slave Jian didn't earn twenty million taels, he would be too embarrassed to go south.
Moreover, this was Slave Jian's first time going south, and his servants were all loyal slaves like Duoyan and Keerqin, as well as the traitor Li Yongfang who had defected to the past.
Li Yongfang's expedition was within everyone's expectations. After all, Li Yongfang was a traitor and understood the situation in the Ming Empire.
Huang Taiji was very confident that he would definitely succeed in going south.
At the same time, it could also deal a heavy blow to Great Ming, knock off the hat of Great Ming's big empire, and completely reveal the weak side of Great Ming.
Slave Jian's purpose in going south was not only to plunder, but also for strategic considerations. After all, the little Emperor had been extremely ruthless after he took over the throne.
Especially when Zhu Youjian began to reorganize the Ming Dynasty, he cleaned up Donglin and the Northern interest groups, which brought great pressure to Huang Taiji.
Although Slave Jian was fighting against Great Ming in Liaodong, Great Ming Pass was extremely stable.
As long as Zhu Youjian stabilized the internal situation, the Ming Dynasty would counterattack sooner or later.
In the last two months, Slave Jian and the Tartars had been having a hard time. The border was too tightly sealed, and the so-called network of traitors had become a joke.
In order to get more benefits from Slave Jian, Fan Yongdou planned to increase his profits by 10%. He had no choice, as he couldn't bear his own losses.
Slave Jian had to bear the burden. After all, the resources he had hoarded were what Slave Jian urgently needed.
Fan Yongdou was really excited now. He had finally solved the transportation and border problems.
In his heart, he despised Zhu Youjian, this idiot. It seemed like he was at a disadvantage, but he didn't know that Zhu Youjian didn't know about his secret deal with Slave Jian.
Slave Jian had offered him a very generous price for the deal. The profit was very high, almost double the profit.
What Zhu Youjian didn't know was that Fan Yongdou only needed to transport the materials out of the pass, and the transportation outside the pass would be personally escorted by Duoyan Tribe or Slave Jian.
The reason why Fan Yongdou liked Huang Taiji was because Huang Taiji was too willing to give money.
Every time they made a deal, they would increase the price by ten percent as a reward for the Fan family.
This year's food was very scarce. Zhu Youjian actually agreed to ten million dan of food, which directly solved his worries.
Slave Jian had been using troops against North Korea for the past two years, so he needed a lot of military supplies.
As long as this deal was completed, the Fan family would at least receive a net profit of six million taels!
How could Fan Yongdou give up such an opportunity!
He thought he would lose this business, but Zhu Youjian took the initiative to come to his door.
Zhu Youjian also sneered in his heart."You really want money more than your life!”
In any case, the ten million dans of grain that he had specially made would not be poisoned even if he ate them to death. After all, the thing that he added was targeted at the human heart.
There were no signs of poisoning. As for guesses and speculations, they had nothing to do with him.
By the time the Tartars and Slave Jian figured out the truth, their trade had already ended.
Zhu Youjian was also distressed to exchange for this special medicine. The price was too high.
The Farm Lord System's shop hadn't been opened yet. To exchange for this medicine, the price was ten times that of the shop. He had spent 100,000 points to exchange for 10 kilograms of this poison.
If he wasn't a tycoon now and had more than 40 million points of value every month, he wouldn't dare to play like this.
The reason why this poison was so expensive was also because of its power. It was colorless and odorless, and could satisfy the processing of ten million dans of grain.
If not for this, he would not have dared to play like this!
Slave Jian wasn't a chicken, and he wasn't a fool. If he was easy to kill and trap, Big Ming wouldn't have been beaten up.
Although there were many reasons why Great Ming lost to Slave Jian, Slave Jian's fighting strength was very strong.
"Young Master, as expected of the young master from the chief assistant family. Since Young Master is willing to do this, I will definitely complete this difficult task.”
Fan Yongdou put himself in the weaker position, and at the same time, he acted like he was wronged.
However, he was very happy in his heart. The two of them drank and bragged at the dining table.
Especially since Fan Yongdou's flattery was on point, Zhu Youjian seemed to be very happy. At the same time, Zhu Youjian said with drunkenness,"Mr. Fan, we actually have 400,000 sets of weapons and equipment.
Hehe, that little Emperor is not just stupid. Isn't he trying to reform? So we hacked 400,000 sets, hahaha…"
Tian Ergeng echoed,"What's even more interesting is: The 10 million dans of grain that the Imperial Manor had painstakingly accumulated, if we use silver to throw it down, won't we get it all?”
Fan Yongdou knew very well the methods of these nobles. As long as they were willing, there was nothing they could not get.
Zhu Youjian seemed to be a little drunk and stuttered,"Butler, don't say that!
The 10 million dan of grain stored in the imperial manor would be burned down by a fire in half a month. This was heaven's will, and it had to be heaven's will!
As for man-made, sigh, when had such a thing ever happened? Didn't it always end with the death of a few people?”
Tian Ergeng chuckled." Young Master, this old servant has already made preparations for this matter. I also have a scapegoat."
With the seal of Eunuch Wang and Master Wang, who would dare to disrespect Eunuch Wang and Master Wang? Lu Xiangsheng did not have the courage to do so.”
With the seals of the chief assistant and the emperor's favorite Wang Chengen, Fan Yongdou felt that the problem of leaving seclusion had been solved.
He really did not expect Huang Liji to actually get through the relationship with Wang Chengen, an internal official. It could be seen that Huang Liji really wanted to control the forces of the northern dignitaries.
Not only for the money, but also for political benefits.
