"Who is this?" Pei Xiaoer looked at Bao Wu in front of him and asked.

"I am the steward of the Fan family in Jiexiu. My master is Fan Yongdou, a famous merchant among Shanxi merchants. General Pei must have heard of it, right?" Fan Shizhe said before Bao Wu could speak.

Bao Wu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fan Shizhe. Naturally, he felt very unhappy. There was anger in his eyes, but he did not show it.

Introduce the Fan family! Suddenly an idea flashed in Pei Xiaoer's heart and he realized. It turned out to be the Fan family, the head of the eight notorious imperial merchants in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties! Yes, in the late Ming Dynasty, the Fan family in Shanxi relied on

They smuggled weapons, armor, grain, grass, intelligence, etc. from Shanxi to Liaodong and Manchu Qing Dynasties, making a fortune. They also gained the trust of their Manchu Qing masters, and made an indelible contribution to the Manchu Qing masters' entry into the country to seize the world.

Although he will be killed by the Manchu masters in the future, the two parties should still be in the honeymoon period now, and the Fan family dog ​​is still very useful. However, this person has never met me. What does he have to do to come to me?

What happened? Pei Xiaoer became alert and said, "It turns out to be the famous Fan family of Shanxi merchants. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful. I wonder, Brother Fan, do you have any advice?"

When Fan Shizhe saw Pei Xiaoer's gesture, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. How about a prince? How about commanding tens of thousands of people? When you see my Fan family in Shanxi, are you not honest and respectful? Although you look down on these mud-legged people in your heart.

He was born in the rebel army. But business still needs to be done, Fan Shizhe said in a frivolous tone.

"I'm looking for General Pei for no other reason than that. I heard that General Pei made a lot of money in Anyi. I have a business deal that I want to do with General Pei."

Pei Xiaoer cursed in his heart. Why did he think this old boy was looking for him? It turned out that he was eyeing his money. "But I don't know what kind of business Manager Fan is talking about?"

Fan Shizhe glanced at Bao Wu beside him and said: "General Pei, are you right here?"

Bao Wu is also a thoughtful person. He immediately realized that he had interfered with other people's affairs here. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he had no choice but to rely on the Shanxi Fan family to support his troops. He did not dare to do so for the time being.

He offended the Fan family, so he said: "General Pei, Mr. Fan, please talk first. I have something to do in the camp, so I'll take my leave first."

After that, he cupped his hands and left gracefully. Pei Xiaoer looked at Bao Wu's leaving figure, thoughtfully. It seemed that although the relationship between Bao Wu and Fan Shizhe was close, they were just the same bedfellows, which was interesting.

After I, Bao Wu, left, Fan Shizhe raised his right hand and made a gesture of invitation. "General Pei, please come this way."

Say it, without waiting for Pei Xiaoer's response, he took one step and walked over.

Pei Xiaoer frowned. I didn't expect this person to be so rude. I wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so I followed him. Hu Shi'an, the captain of the soldiers beside me, was naturally

Wherever Pei Xiaoer went, he followed him, never leaving.

Fan Shizhe frowned slightly when he saw Hu Shi'an following him, but didn't say anything.

"Just here." Pei Xiaoer stopped and said to Fan Shizhe: "If you have any business, just tell me."

However, Fan Shizhe did not answer Pei Xiaoer's question. Instead, he took a detour and asked: "General Pei. Now that the officers and soldiers are launching a large-scale campaign, a big battle is inevitable. In this country where the storm is about to come,

At this critical moment, what do you think is the most important thing?"

"Of course it's the army."

"What about the military?"

Pei Xiaoer raised his brows and vaguely guessed what kind of business Fan Shizhe wanted to talk about, "Except for the army. Of course it's arms and food."

"General Pei is indeed an outstanding person. He is quick in thinking and can hit the mark right away." Fan Shizhe complimented him a little, and then said: "Yes, the business I want to discuss is naturally about arms and food."

Pei Xiaoer suddenly understood why Leopard Five's army was so poor, but the armor, swords and guns in their hands were so sophisticated, and their feelings had been robbed by these grandchildren.

Pei Xiaoer also became interested. His Ordnance Supervisor has developed so far that the number of skilled craftsmen in it is less than a hundred, which cannot keep up with the pace of army expansion. It can be said that at present, the Pei family's army has a large ordnance.

When Pei Xiaoer was still troubled by the gaps in these weapons, he unexpectedly met Fan Shizhe in this small place and could buy weapons from him.

It takes no effort at all, just pay.

"Oh? How many weapons can you provide? The price is not a problem. As long as you can afford it, I can afford it." Pei Xiaoer pretended to be a tycoon who spent money and said generously. He also wanted to see the Fan family's weapons.

How much arms production capacity can we have?

Fan Shizhe was overjoyed when he heard this. Even though he was pretending to be calm, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. Don't businessmen like to meet this kind of tycoon who spends money like water, is not short of money, and is willing to pay?

Just now, he searched the entire Leopard Five army, inside and out, but couldn't find anything. When he was disappointed, he didn't expect that there was no way out, and there was a bright future in one village, and another.

When a rich man comes to visit, there are really surprises everywhere in the world.

"Then it depends on how much General Pei wants. Our Fan family has as much as he wants." Fan Shizhe patted his chest and promised, "Even if we don't have that much inventory at the moment, with the manufacturing capabilities of our Fan family, we can still produce it within ten days.

Give it to General Pei."

"Oh? If that's the case, then I'll speak."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Well, I want ten thousand sets of armor, fifty thousand fire guns, fifty thousand bows, one million arrows, one hundred thousand swords and shields, and two hundred thousand spears. I wonder if the Fan family can provide these.

?"

Pei Xiaoer said directly, if even these Fan families can take over, then the Fan family's background is really unfathomable.

However, I never expected that Fan Shizhe only hesitated for a moment and then agreed directly.

"I didn't expect General Pei to have such a big appetite. Our Fan family does not have so much inventory at the moment. However, General Pei can rest assured that within a month at most, our Fan family will be able to provide all the weapons that General Pei wants. However, the price may be slightly higher.

Higher."

Pei Xiaoer was really shocked. The equipment he wanted could at least equip an army of 200,000 people. He didn't expect that a small Fan family in Shanxi could produce so many weapons. This is really
Chapter completed!
