However, Pei Xiaoer finally suppressed this crazy idea. No, at least not yet. First of all, although the Fan family's hometown is in the intermediary, it does not mean that all the Fan family's wealth is in the intermediary.

Hugh, you should know that there are three caves in the cunning rabbit. How can a businessman like the Fan family, who deals in beheadings, pile up all their wealth together?

Secondly, it is also a commonplace topic, that is, the butt determines the head. His current identity is, to put it mildly, a bandit. He has to face the pursuit of officers and soldiers at all times. Moreover, he can no longer buy it through regular channels.

Food, iron, and other supplies within the jurisdiction of the imperial court. All the supplies he needs now are purchased from smugglers by his uncle Zhao Junlin.

If he destroys the Fan family through conspiracy, who will dare to come over and sell supplies to him? Without these supplies, how many more days can the Pei family army continue to support? He must consider the future of the Pei family army comprehensively, and cannot

Bewitched by the little benefit in front of you.

It's just that this opportunity is right in front of him. If he misses it in vain, Pei Xiaoer is really unwilling to do it. It doesn't matter. He can't get the entire Fan family, but at least he has to squat down one of the opponent's weapons production bases and rob a batch of the Fan family's craftsmen.

Say it again.

After making up his mind, Pei Xiaoer felt relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, the Fan family is indeed very wealthy. I wonder how much money the Fan family wants with so many supplies?"

"General Pei, the price is a bit high, please hold on."

"It's okay, just tell me!"

"According to the unified sales price of my Fan family to the outside world, a fire gun costs thirty taels of silver, a pair of armor costs five hundred taels of silver. A set of swords and shields also costs fifteen taels of silver, and a spear costs five hundred taels of silver.

There are also bows and arrows. If it’s a bow, a bow

It requires ten taels of silver, ten arrows and one tael of silver. According to what General Pei just said, the total need is..." At this point, Fan Shizhe suddenly took out a small abacus from his arms and started to calculate, "The total need is nine hundred and sixty.

Ten thousand taels of silver."

This... Pei Xiaoer was stunned. His Pei family army had obtained a total of more than 3.4 million taels in Anyi, plus the money he had obtained in Wenxi County from the Wenxi County tigers who had robbed it, and the taxes collected by Xia County

, adding up to more than one million taels of silver, the total of the two items is more than 4.5 million, less than 5 million taels of silver.

Don't underestimate the nearly five million taels of silver. You must know that just this year, the central fiscal revenue in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen was only two to three million taels a year. He just messed around with a few counties and already got the Ming Dynasty.

Twice the annual financial income, I thought it would be enough for me to spend for a while, but I didn't expect that I was still a pauper.

Although the number he just quoted is indeed a bit too much, even if it is cut in half, it will still require more than 4.8 million taels of silver, which is just enough to use up all the little money he has spent in the past six months. Pei Xiaoer just suppressed the thought

He showed up again, why don't you deal with him all at once? Let's talk about the future in the future?

However, reason once again stopped Pei Xiaoer. A person who doesn't plan everything is not enough to plan for a domain. Let's be patient for a while. Pei Xiaoer collected his thoughts and said to Fan Shizhe.

"Okay. You said, these things can be prepared in a month?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, if that's the case, then go ahead and prepare. In a month, we will be thirty miles south of Jiexiu, handing over the money and delivering the goods."

Fan Shizhe's happy eyes narrowed to a slit, and he said happily: "Okay, General Pei. Then we will make an agreement."

"It's a deal."

Fan Shizhe hummed a little tune and left briskly. Looking at the direction in which he was leaving, Pei Xiaoer reached out and called Xu Tianfeng, the deputy general of the cavalry battalion whom he had promoted.

After Lao Xu was promoted to deputy general of the cavalry battalion by Pei Xiaoer, he never had any chance to make meritorious deeds. However, the envious and jealous eyes of his former colleagues became more and more intense, making him very uncomfortable and thinking about it all day long.

, I will do a great job next time and let those suffering from pinkeye have a good look. After hearing Pei Xiaoer's call, Xu Tianfeng hurried over.

"Xu Tianfeng, take a part of the cavalry battalion to put this person under surveillance. Just now, I ordered a large number of weapons from the Fan family. This person must inform the hidden craftsman's workshop and ask the workshop to increase production. I

I want you to go and watch him. See who he met after he left. Where did the people he met go to report the news? Keep an eye on them. You must find these weapon-making workshops for me."

"Yes," Xu Tianfeng accepted Pei Xiaoer's order excitedly.

After an interlude, Pei Xiaoer continued to move forward with Bao Wu, heading towards Wenxian County.

Bao Wu seemed to be very talkative, and the relationship between him and Pei Xiaoer became more harmonious along the way.

According to Bao Wu, since Emperor Chongzhen approved the strategy of using troops against the Shanxi bandits sent by the Ministry of War, members of the Fan family in Shanxi have been going out in large numbers, selling weapons, food and grass everywhere. The key is that they not only sell to the rebels, but also to the rebels.

It was even sold to the government and the army. As a result of the two-way transaction, the entire Fan family made a fortune from the war.

Some time ago, someone was jealous of the Fan family's large amount of weapons and food, and wanted to rob the Fan family during the delivery. As a result, not only did the Fan family have nothing to do, but the group of bandits were taken care of by the Fan family.

The servants were all wiped out, and everyone's heads were cut off, leaving the entire capital in a state of exhaustion. This immediately shocked all those who dared to peek into the Fan family and were ready to take action against the Fan family.

Moreover, forces like Leopard Five cannot afford to offend the Fan family, but they dare not not buy the weapons sold by the Fan family. Otherwise, other forces will buy the weapons of the Fan family, thereby greatly increasing their strength. Under the law of the jungle, the strong will eat them.

, this Leopard Five is very likely to be devoured by others.

"But in general, the rebels are actually grateful to the Fan family." Bao Wu continued, "Because for some unknown reason, the Fan family still prefers us to wait for the rebels. I heard that the Fan family sold to the officers and soldiers

The price of the weapons is twice what they were sold to the rebels."

Hearing what he said, Pei Xiaoer was naturally disdainful. They didn't know why he was leaning towards the rebels, but Pei Xiaoer knew that this Fan family was a dog from the Manchus outside the Pass. Since he is a dog, he must be his master.

To do things, sell them to the rebels at a low price and sell them to the official army at a high price. Is it just a strategy for the rebels to disrupt the Ming Dynasty? To weaken the Ming Dynasty? When the Manchu Qing invades the pass in the future, who will they lean towards?
