Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 99 The Eight Great Imperial Merchants in the Early Qing Dynasty, Overwhelming the Straw of the Ming Dynasty
"This does not belong to archaeology."

Ning Fan looked at the screen with a calm face.

Everyone in the live broadcast room listened to the words and laughed extremely numbly.

Listen to this, is it someone who said it?

Obviously I just said that I want to use archaeology to solve the problem, but now I say that this is not the case, is it just a joke?

Ning Fan looked at Baoyou's question and shook his head.

"What Banliangjin said just now was just a hexagram deduced from the five emperors' money."

"The hexagram can only confirm why these five emperors' coins were buried."

"Archaeology-related knowledge is only needed when one really wants to discover one's identity."

"So it's like this, I'm shallow!"

"I'm sorry, I thought it was a direct fortune-telling calculation, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing."

"Sit and wait."

In the live broadcast room, Bao friends spoke one after another, waiting for Ning Fan's explanation.

Ning Fan was not in a hurry to speak, and asked Ban Liangjin to continue analyzing the hexagrams she had seen.

"Do I still need to read this? Master Ning, don't you know?"

Ban Liangjin was a little taken aback.

Judging from the methods Ning Fan showed before, he does not know how much better than her in fortune-telling.

How could I let myself speak first.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw an extra message in the private chat.

"Wen Wang's divination needs to help the world to improve his level, you do the math."

"Is this... okay?"

Ban Liangjin's heart warmed, and he understood what Ning Fan was thinking.

Then his face changed slightly, he didn't expect him to know such a secret thing.

"But Master Ning, how do you know the rules of our lineage?"

"Let's start now."

Ning Fan did not explain.

This kind of system directly points to the existence of cheating, which is not enough for outsiders!
It's not easy to ask more questions after seeing half a tael of gold.

Looking at the hexagram in front of him, he silently pinched his fingers and calculated something.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"When the five elements and eight trigrams correspond, Xun and Zhen are wood, and ridges are water."

"Water and wood are exchanged, water grows wood, and two pairs grow together. There are four changes in total, which are the Feng Shui Huan, Shui Fengjing, Lei Hydrolysis, and Shui Lei Tun that I just mentioned."

"The corresponding ones are Xunkan relative and Zhenkan relative."

"The four hexagrams originally had their own explanations, but the order of the hexagrams has not been handed down for too long. It can only be analyzed based on the connection of the four hexagrams."

"Water is wealth, and wood is root."

"Shui Shengmu is the person who started the hexagram and is a merchant's family, and wants to use the property in his hands to keep his roots."

"If this inference is correct, then the identity of the person who created the hexagram can be deduced by combining the hexagram image."

"Wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, after the Qing army entered the customs, their properties were attacked but there was no major crisis yet. They just made up their minds to hide their strengths and bide their time, maintain the stability of the family, in order to break through the predicament and renew the vegetation!"

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard the words.

Can so many things be inferred from the burial of the five emperors' money?

It's amazing, isn't it?
They all asked Ning Fan if this was true.

"Basically no problem."

"At least the identity explanation is correct."

With Ning Fan's confirmation, everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes turned respectful when they looked at Ban Liang Jin.

In the past, they only thought that Banliangjin was a little girl who was a bit good at divination.

Looking at it now, it turns out that even Master Ning thinks he is a somewhat accurate master.

Everyone's minds became active.

They have seen Ning Fan's fortune-telling ability before, although Ning Fan himself does not admit that it is fortune-telling.

But the analysis of hexagrams is called a science.

Many people approached Ning Fan overtly and secretly, hoping to ask Ning Fan to do a fortune telling.

But Ning Fan always replied to everyone who came.

"Jianbao and other live broadcasts are not fate, thank you!"

The key is still automatic reply.

This made many people really lose their temper.

Now it's hard to come across a fortune teller who can tell Master Ning well.

Everyone immediately followed and chatted privately.

If they hadn't been waiting to hear Ning Fan's introduction to this businessman, they might have gone directly to ask for half a tael of gold for an expedited fortune-telling.

"Master Ning, Miss Banliangjin's hexagrams have been explained, can you start archaeology here too?"

"Yes, yes, we are all waiting!"

"I want to see who can make such a big game!"

Baoyou sent a message, and many people in the live broadcast room responded.

So did they.

It must not be an ordinary person who can spend so much time collecting the Great Five Emperors to set up a Feng Shui bureau.

Moreover, they also wanted to see how Ning Fan deduced him.

Ning Fan looked at the screen and spoke calmly.

"The owner of these five emperors' coins is Fan Yongdou, a great Jin merchant in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."

When the name came out, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.

"Have not heard."

"I've only heard of Shen Wansan and Qiao Zhiyong, I really don't know about this person."

"Master Ning, isn't this famous?"

Seeing that Bao friends were discussing Fan Yongdou's identity and guessed it in detail, Tang Qisheng couldn't sit still and jumped out to explain.

"Baoyou, Master Ning is right to ask you to read more books!"

"Fan Yongdou is not an unknown person!"

"The head of the eight imperial merchants in the Qing Dynasty, later generations call it the last straw of the Ming Dynasty."

Everyone in the live broadcast room was a little puzzled when they heard the words.

"Isn't the fall of the Ming Dynasty the fault of Chongzhen?"

"Yeah, the worst thing is that those court ministers have a vegetarian meal. What does it have to do with a businessman?"

"I think that's an exaggeration?"

"The emperor's stupidity, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, Li Zicheng's uprising, and Yuan Chonghuan's death are still ahead. None of these are more important than businessmen."

"Isn't the pot a little too big?"

The treasure friends are still discussing, and the news of Tang Qisheng continues to be sent out.

"Maybe there is a suspicion of dumping the pot, after all, the development of history is multifaceted."

"But after you understand the trade methods at that time, you will know that there is a reason for this statement!"

"According to the "Records of the Qing Dynasty", in the third year of the Mandate of Heaven, there were 16 traders in Fucheng from Lu, Jin, Hedong, Hexi, Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"At that time, it was still in the 46th year of Wanli, and so many merchants were in the Houjin base camp, which shows that it is far from just Shanxi merchants doing business."

"But the imperial merchants are all Shanxi merchants, and the very important reason is that they are familiar with each other."

"This has to talk about the family history of these Shanxi merchants!"

"During the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants started their business by operating border military supplies, and then used their geographical advantages to start transactions with Houjin."

"Shanxi merchants hoarded food at first, and later sold metals, gunpowder, and intelligence to the Houjin regime in exchange for a large amount of ginseng, deer antler, and animal skins."

"Because of geographical reasons, the number of such transactions between Shanxi Merchants and Houjin has been extremely high, and there have been many exchanges between the two parties."

"After the Qing army entered the customs, they had to find someone to handle the matter anyway. Shanxi merchants were close and acquainted, so it was naturally easier to win this business."

"So, the identity of the imperial merchants is actually not important, what is important is that they resell the supplies."

"From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed a traitor."

"So on a certain level, they were indeed the last straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty."

After Tang Qisheng finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

They never expected that there are so many small and trivial things in the middle of the change of dynasties.

However, everyone heard this explanation and had new problems.

"Since they are all imperial merchants, what's the matter with these five emperors' money?"

"Shouldn't you be praying for a quick fortune? Why are you keeping a low profile?"
