After leaving the Forbidden City, Fan Yongdou went straight back to the private residence he purchased in the capital.
As soon as he entered the hospital, his only son Fan Sanba stepped forward to greet him: "Dad, you are back.
My son is worried to death."
Seeing his son's eager expression, Fan Yongdou coughed and said, "There's nothing to worry about.
It's a good thing that the regent gave a banquet to my father when he entered the palace this time."
Fan Sanba nodded quickly and said, "Father said so."
"But you are right to be concerned.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
When doing things for the royal family, you should always be cautious."
Fan Yongdou glanced at his son and said solemnly: "Let's talk in the room."
After that, he took the lead and walked away.
"Why" Fan Sanba responded and quickly followed.
When Fan Yongdou entered the study and sat down, he saw his son still standing with his hands tied, frowned and said, "Sit down."
Fan Sanba then sat down respectfully.
"When my father entered the palace this time, he was granted the status of an imperial merchant by the regent and was registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Fan Yongdou knew what his son was most concerned about, so he said it directly without hesitation.
"ah" Fan Sanba was completely surprised.
"It turns out that what the regent said is true."
Fan Yongdou was angry and laughed: "I am young today, and the regent is regent as the emperor's uncle.
If what he says cannot be taken seriously, who else can tell the truth?"
"That's what my father taught me."
Fan Sanba lowered his head and said.
Seeing his son's submissive look, Fan Yongdou sighed secretly.
He only has such a son, and Fan Jianuo's large family fortune will eventually be passed on to Fan Sanba in the future.
Fan Yongdou was really worried that his son's thin shoulders could not bear such a heavy burden.
"Since I want to be an imperial merchant, I have to share the worries of the imperial court."
Fan Yongdou paused for a moment and then said: "The regent asked Weifu to work with the other seven families to raise military supplies to meet the urgent needs of the court."
Fan Yongdou also knew everything in front of his son.
"How much food does the imperial court need to raise?"
"An army can eat enough for three months."
Fan Yongdou said calmly.
"three months" Fan Sanba gasped.
"That's not a small amount."
Seeing his son's surprise, Fan Yongdou frowned and said, "If this can be done easily, how could the regent find us?
It's not easy to be an imperial merchant."
After saying that, he sneered and said: "But it's not impossible.
Isn't there still a way for our family in Huguang?
You can use your connections to contact Wuchang and buy grain in a private name.
It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive.
Our family is running errands for the court. , no need to consider price.”
Fan Sanba was a little confused: "Father, it is true that our family has connections in Wuchang, but buying a large amount of grain at one time may arouse people's suspicion."
"Then Zuo Liangyu is a man who is blind to money.
Do you think he will go into details?"
Fan Yongdou sighed and said: "In our profession, we have to lick blood from the edge of a knife.
If you don't take the risk, others will be willing to take the risk.

The Fan family can be where it is today, isn't it because of my father's journey through mountains and seas of fire?"
"But Huguang is not peaceful now.
Bai Wang and Zuo Liangyu have been at odds, and his son is worried that the food cannot be transported."
"Then take a detour" Fan Yongdou glared at his son angrily and said, "How many times do I have to tell you that this matter has to be done even if you have to bite the bullet.
Whether my Fan family can rise to the top depends on how well this errand is done.
Why don't you Got it" "Father, my son understands, please don't be angry."
Fan Sanba pursed his lips and said: "My son heard that there has been a lot of commotion in the south recently.
It seems that the price of food cannot be lowered like this.
If it doesn't work, my son will add to the family's savings."
"That's right."
Fan Yongdou nodded slightly: "How can people who do big things stick to small details?
Don't think that if you give some money now, you will suffer a loss.
You should take a longer-term view.
Our family and the Qing Dynasty will both prosper and suffer.
If the Qing Dynasty becomes a great power in the future, If the world is settled, our family will have a mountain of gold and silver.
If the Ming Dynasty comes back from the south, you and I will still have a chance to survive."
Fan Sanba broke into a cold sweat when he heard this and said quickly: "My son has learned a lesson."
"Well, you will understand this kind of thing if you think about it more in the future.
I am tired as a father, so I should go back to my room to rest."
After that, he got up and walked outside the house.
"The son sends his father a respectful greeting."
"Mr.
Fan, can we really trust these eight companies to handle this matter?"
Daishan was puzzled by Dorgon's entrustment of the task of raising food for the army to the eight major Shanxi merchants.
It is so important that matters related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty are entrusted to mere merchants, which is really uneasy.
Therefore, he found Fan Wencheng and wanted to hear his analysis.
"Replying to the prince, I think it is most appropriate for Fan Yongdou and others to handle this errand."
Fan Wencheng bowed and said, "If you want to buy grain, you can only buy it from the south.
Not long after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there are not many connections in the south.
It is very difficult to buy grain, so you can only borrow it from Fan Yongdou and others."
"Humph, what I mean is that we shouldn't be on guard."
The meaning of Daishan is very clear.
After all, the eight Shanxi merchants were Han Chinese.
Although they had tried their best to serve the Qing Dynasty, what should they do if they had different intentions and cheated the Qing Dynasty at a critical moment?
How could Fan Wencheng not know what Dai Shan was thinking.
But he was also a Han after all, and there were some things he couldn't say clearly, so he had to say: "I ordered these eight families to move their wives, children, and children from Zhangjiakou Fort to the capital.
In this way, there is no fear that they will not do their best to serve the Qing Dynasty."
Daishan was overjoyed when he heard this.
As long as he had a hostage in his hands, he felt much more at ease.
Although the Han people are treacherous, they will not ignore the safety of their loved ones, right?
Zhangjiakou Fort is not too far from the capital, and it does not take much time to move all the relatives of the eight families to the capital.
"I will go find the regent now."
After Daishan said this, he stood up.
"My lord, don't be anxious" Fan Wencheng quickly waved his hand to stop him.
"Why, Mr.

Fan has anything else to say?"
Daishan still trusts Fan Wencheng.
This old guy worked wholeheartedly for the Qing Dynasty.
In the Liaodong period, he came up with many vicious tricks and helped the Qing Dynasty conquer cities and territories, making great contributions.
His opinion still needs to be heard.
"I think it's not appropriate for the prince to talk about this matter."
Fan Wencheng lowered his voice and said, "The regent has always been dissatisfied with the prince."
What Fan Wencheng said is also true.
As early as the death of Huang Taiji, Dorgonbai had lobbied Daishan, hoping that Daishan could support him in inheriting the throne.
But Daishan has never expressed his stance, and even secretly prefers Hauge.
Although Dorgon and Hauge finally reached a compromise and decided that Fulin would inherit the throne, no one was convinced.
If Daishan goes to Dorgon this time and asks him to move the family members of the eight major Shanxi merchants to the capital, I am afraid Dorgon will only think that Daishan is changing the law and accuse him of not thinking carefully.
