C13 Xiao Letian Is about to Start His Own Sect

​

As the candlelight flickered, Fan Lian leaned on the bed and quietly pondered on the rising of the Fan family. Ever since his father started to walk the path of business, he had always followed by his side, and the people who slowly made the Guangde grow were the father, son and son duo.

What was Fan Ru doing then? He was studying in seclusion, reading the Four Books and Five Classics. According to his father, the eldest son was going to inherit the family's business, so it was best for him to get a good title. Only then would he be able to make a name for himself. As for Lao Er, he would just follow the company and earn more money, then send it to his brother to take the exam to get his name.

Unfortunately, his brother was just a fool who was studying hard. When he got to High Scholar's level, he didn't make any progress at all. All he thought about was using the money earned from Brothers to buy a house and land. Furthermore, he spent money like water to befriend the rich and influential families in the capital, wanting to restore the position of the Family's Royal Merchant.

Not only that, when he became Family Head, he became even more arrogant and insisted on acting like he was a poet who only knew how to read poems. He did not care about all the strict rules and copied them at home, even going beyond that.

Previously, Fan Lian was willing to tolerate it for the sake of the Family, but this year, Eldest Brother actually became even more fierce, forcing his beloved concubine to death. Now, he even extended his evil hand to tiger chick.

"It's intolerable. I didn't renew the string for tiger chick's mother and daughter. Right now, the main wife's seat is empty. Those two are my heart's flesh and blood!" You killed tiger chick's mother, and now you still want to use 110 thousand silver to threaten me? "Isn't it just not taking the official accounts? I don't care …"

Thinking about this, Fan Lian hit the bed heavily. He even spoke out the words in his heart, "If worst comes to worst, we'll just split the family. At worst, we can just start over from the beginning …"

Just as he was talking, a low sigh came from outside the window. If Manager Fan had known this earlier, he wouldn't have been like that! "

"Who?" At that moment, Fan Lian sat up, then pushed open the door and a familiar face came in.

"Mr. Xiao!" Fan Lian immediately shouted out loud, frightening Xiao Letian so much that he covered his mouth, "My old shopkeeper, are you trying to kill me?" I didn't even leave this braid out, and you brought the people of government over … "

Manager Fan immediately became excited and kept coughing. Xiao Letian quickly held him and patted his back gently, "old shopkeeper, don't say anymore, I know the situation. I came to solve the crisis in front of old shopkeeper." However … I'd like to ask Manager Fan, how much guts do you have? How much courage do you have? "

Fan Lian coughed dryly for a while and looked at Xiao Letian with a flushed face, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

"The meaning is very simple. I have a set of wealth that I want to give to others, but I need Trader who has a lot of guts to eat it. If old shopkeeper doesn't even dare to split his family, I'm afraid that you won't be able to enjoy this wealth! "

"How big is a fortune? How big is a fortune?" When it came to business, Manager Fan was slightly better.

"How old? Hehe, to the point where even foreigners have to be polite in front of you, to the point where you can talk business with Western Government, to the point where even Manchu wouldn't dare to kill you … " Xiao Letian said this as he clenched his teeth. Fan Lian was drenched in cold sweat at that time.

"Divided families? Foreigners? court? "Oh my god, are you joking with me, mister?" Fan Lian was clearly frightened by Xiao Letian's tone.

Forget about the foreigners and the court, even splitting up was considered disgraceful in ancient times. In the society of late Qing, unless there was no other choice, no one would be able to split their family unless they were extremely poor, or the Family was simply too huge.

If Fan Lian proposed a division now, not to mention how much property he could get, just with the people's saliva, he would be drowned and his partners would recheck Fan Lian. Even break off the partnership because they think you're unfaithful and unfilial.

To put it bluntly, if the branch family suffered worse than having their skin removed, what Manager Fan said just now was just an infuriated remark during their illness. Who would have thought that Xiao Letian would hear it?

"Manager Fan, I'll tell you the truth. This fortune is too great. I don't want to give your brother even a little bit of it. Moreover, this fortune needs to be kept a secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better …" After saying that, Xiao Letian suddenly took out a big black bag from his pocket and poured the contents onto the bed.

At that time, Fan Lian's eyes were already staring at them. What a good guy, their beds were full of Semen Orientale s, all of them top tier Semen Orientale s, and also large chunks of jade with goat fat and beautiful jade. Fan Lian, who was also in charge of pawnshop business, had eyes as sharp as a senior executive. He estimated that this bag of Baby was worth at least thirty thousand gold.

"Mr. Xiao, what's the meaning of this?" Fan Lian quickly gathered the Semen Orientale s lying on the bed, one by one, and touched their warm touch, causing the old man's heart to tremble. This degree of smoothness, coupled with such a huge pellet, was almost up to the standard used by Wang Jue's Chao Bead, if he were to send it to the Northern Capital City … The old man didn't even dare to think how popular this would be.

"I brought five bags of these Baby with me today. I think it should be enough for you to escape from this crisis, right?" Xiao Letian looked at Fan Lian with a smile as if he knew that this old man would never escape his grasp even if he was beaten to death.

Fan Lian was no longer a sickly person. As the top profession in the Daqing Dynasty, Trader, he had absolute professionalism. At this time, the old man regained his usual business shrewdness. He stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian.

"Mr. Xiao saved the whole of Caravan, and we owe you a favor. Now you are going to help me out, and to tell the truth, I am afraid …" "mister, it's better if you just open the lid and let me know …

The wealth he was going to give him was simply too great. Even if he was his future father-in-law, he had to be clear about the main points. This was the principle of the business negotiations. Fan Lian saluted me, admitting that he was at a disadvantage in this negotiation.

"old shopkeeper, don't be like this. You're going to die, you're going to die …" Wu Jingfei waited until the man's waist was bent to ninety degrees before helping him up.

"Manager Fan, don't be impatient. Help me take a look at this." With that, Wuchang pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket. It was the first ten chapters of his novel, the chapters from Prince of Enrique's Adventure.

Fan Lian took the draft in surprise. However, as soon as he looked at it, the old man's hand started to tremble. "mister …" mister, tell me, is this a fantasy story? Or is it all real? "

Xiao Letian tapped his fingers on the arm of his teacher's chair and said arrogantly, "Real history, this is what happened in all of Europa. I just described it once with my evaluation novel, and I also wanted to let Popular, who is at the bottom of Daqing, to know the details of the foreigners!"

"Why are foreigners strong? Why are we weak? When we were three people a day, how did the people living in the outer seas live? What were they learning? What are they doing? How did they manage to beat our Daqing down to the ground again and again? These answers are all in the book... "

"Even the squalor among the foreigners is recorded here. Who has enmity with who? Who was the benefactor? There was even a record of who had the most beautiful woman in the Country. "Hahaha, to put it bluntly, you have already exposed the strength of the foreigners …"

Xiao Letian was confident, he firmly believed that this Daqing was unable to reject the bait that he threw out. All of the scholars in late Qing, including the enlightened Trader, wanted to know the details of the foreigners. Back when Lin Zexu was very popular, he had asked his good friend Wei Yuan to organize the data and write a book that would introduce them overseas. This was late Qing's famous "The Atlas of Hai Guo".

However, Wei Yuan had never been to the West. He was just a passive author of some of Translation's western works. In the process of writing, he could not help but add some speculations or mistakes made by Translation. What was even worse was that Wei Yuan was a scholar who came from the soil of the Confucian.

Take a look, actually this kind of thought and Zhang Zhidong later put forward the theory of 'middle school for the body, west for the use' are of the same origin. China's literati's rejection of the Western World had almost reached the marrow of their bones.

"old shopkeeper, I can tell you clearly that once this book appears, the world will no longer be confused. From now on, anyone who wants to understand the west must read this book of mine and bow down before my door. Hehe heh heh …" Xiao Letian's laugh was incomparably cold. Liu Tie felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.

"Hehehe, because there is no other person who can write more comprehensive, concrete, and practical essay than me, the one who studies western knowledge in Daqing. I will be the patriarch if I can't be a benefactor …"

With a "pa" sound, Manager Fan overturned the cup on the tea table, causing his hands and face to turn yellow. He knew that Xiao Letian did not boast. If this book was really as he said, then Xiao Letian's Western study of Old Ancestor was not boasting at all. Others aren't convinced? Why are you so unwilling to accept this!

"You want to establish your own sect? mister, you have to open up your own sect! " Fan Lian felt his knees go soft. Although he hated his older brother's decadence, he still respected a great sage who was able to establish his own sect from the bottom of his heart. In ancient times, Popular's admiration for the top scholars could simply be described as fanatical.

Xiao Letian adjusted his teacup and smiled, "I'm writing a book, but this printing and printing job is too complicated..."

"It's me, it's me! "I don't know how to repay mister's kindness. Even if I have to do my best, I will do it beautifully for you …" Fan Lian felt like he was floating in the air. He had to support Big Wen Hao, who started his own sect. Perhaps in the future, the history books would leave a mark for him.

Xiao Letian nodded, "First thing, the second thing is related to money. The piece of jewelry I brought today is actually to return the 110 thousand silver back to you, shopkeeper. I believe with your many years of business, using these pieces of jewelry to fill this hole shouldn't be difficult … " Xiao Letian clapped his hands. A burly man wearing night clothes walked past the door with the leftover jewelry in his arms.

If you put this jewelry that mister gave me in my hands, it would at least turn into a 150 thousand Current silver. I can gather all the money from my close friends and friends in Capital City. I can even directly use treasures to hand over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In any case, to them, treasures are more useful than silver s … "

"That's good, that's good. I will also have new jewels for you after this batch of jewelry has been sold. I need old shopkeeper's connections to turn these Baby into Current silver. "Remember, I don't want the Gold, and I don't want the silver. I want my eyes to see the scattered silver that can be touched by my hands …"

Manager Fan was stunned as he did not know what Xiao Letian was up to. Just as he wanted to ask him more, a light knocking sound came from the window.

"Mr. Xiao, something has happened. You must leave immediately …" was surrounded by the people of the yamen … "
