Chapter 1368: The Storm Changes

So, Lin Wan and Shangguan Yun hugged Jin Ruoxin left and right and walked towards the small building. Zhou Chengkuan also took Changfeng to his residence, rested first, drank a cup of tea, washed off the dust, changed clothes, and then went out to eat.

Jin Ruoxin and Changfeng came on horseback, because they were not used to being served on weekdays, so they did not bring maids and servants, and were escorted all the way by the brothers of the Shadowless Pavilion. There wasn't much luggage, so Nuan Yi and Nuan Sleeves took two guards to send the luggage to the accommodation prepared for Jin Ruoxin and Changfeng, put the luggage away, and packed the room.

Nuan Xin asked Nuan Yi and Nuan Sleeves to be responsible for the weekday cleaning work of the small building, serving tea and water, washing and delivering meals, and obeying Jin Ruoxin and Changfeng's orders.

Ximen Yuqing still has official business, and asked if he needed to send more manpower. Warm heart said that he didn't need to, so he didn't say anything more, left the Wanxin Palace, and went back to the imperial study.

In recent months, the barbarians west of Xiyan Mountain have suddenly become active again, repeatedly violating the border, harassing the people of Xiling Kingdom in the area of Xiyan Mountain.

Last time, Ximen Yuqing went to Xiyan Mountain in person, and there was also this reason. He was worried that the Ximen Yuling and Ximen Yuqi brothers would collude with the barbarians and transport the weapons they had built in Xiyan Mountain through the barbarians. However, Ximen Yuling later transported the weapons back to the imperial city, intending to send them to Nanyue by water, proving that they had not reached any agreement with the barbarians.

Although Ximen Yuqing had already sent General Wuqi, who had fought with the barbarians many times, to lead the army to encircle and suppress the barbarian guerrillas, after all, Xiyan Mountain was now in the hands of Ximen Yuqi, and if Ximen Yuqi did not cooperate, things would not be able to go smoothly. For this reason, Ximen Yuqing has really a headache these days, and he lives in the imperial study almost every day.

Lin Wan also heard Nuan Xin talk about some things about the barbarians invading the people of Xiling Kingdom, but he didn't take it to heart. She felt that these little things must be solvable by Ximen Yuqing, so she didn't care about the matter.

Today, seeing that Ximen Yuqing was in such a hurry to rush back to deal with official business, he felt that this matter was not simple, and he thought to himself that he must find a time to ask, so as not to affect the entire overall situation because of a moment of negligence.

Jin Ruoxin took a bath in the bathroom, and Lin Wan sat behind the screen to talk to her, and roughly told the two of them what had happened in the past few months.

More than a month ago, Changfeng and Jin Ruoxin left Dongli Kingdom by water, went directly to Fengming City, and quickly took over the Jiangnan Qianzhuang of Wuying Pavilion.

Jiangnan Qianzhuang used to only have dozens of relatively small stores in Fengnan City, Fengming City, and Jiangnan area, and its market share was not much. It is completely relied on the help of the merchants who secretly support the Feng family, mainly to transport funds to the Shadowless Pavilion.

However, when Jiangnan Qianzhuang arrived in the hands of Changfeng and Jin Ruoxin, it completely changed. Changfeng held a large number of silver tickets from the capital bank, all of which were exchanged from the Eastern Qi army, the Eastern Li Kingdom, and some families in the capital, of course, these families were also their own people.

Although Jiangnan Qianzhuang does not have so much capital now, and all the money that is issued is empty, these people are all supporters of the Feng family, Zhou Tianqi, Lin Wan, Changfeng and Jin Ruoxin, and naturally believe that Jiangnan Qianzhuang will be able to cash these silver tickets in the future.

Changfeng used the power and manpower of the Shadowless Pavilion to take these silver tickets to the capital money houses all over the country to exchange them for silver, and then secretly sent some of the silver to Fengming City, and some of them stayed in the local area, secretly preparing, ready to wait for the right time to open a few more Jiangnan money houses in various parts of the country.

Because the Shadowless Pavilion is secretive, Jiangnan Qianzhuang is very low-key and not well-known. In addition, the situation in the capital is changing these days, and some wealthy merchants and ordinary people in various places feel uneasy in advance, and in order to avoid risks, they take out some of the silver to defend themselves. Therefore, when the silver tickets in Changfeng's hand were redeemed, the capital money village did not find any clues.

Until the Shadowless Pavilion released the news, saying that the silver in the capital bank was not enough, and the silver tickets were going to turn into waste paper. When the rumors spread to the capital, many wealthy merchants and ordinary people rushed to exchange money in the capital, which alarmed King Ning and Zhou Tianhong.

However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the silver taels of the capital money village were quite sufficient, and this rush did not defeat King Ning. And Zhou Tianhong even publicly announced in the court that if any minister in the court openly or secretly went to participate in this robbery, he would be dismissed and investigated. And the Lu family did not hesitate to take out their own family funds to help the capital bank, and soon suppressed the robbery turmoil this time.

Changfeng is not in a hurry, now that the situation in the capital is so tense, he is not in a hurry to let Jiangnan Qianzhuang appear on this cusp, he only needs to secretly strengthen the financial resources and power of Jiangnan Qianzhuang and develop steadily.

Jin Ruoxin was in charge of managing the accounts of Jiangnan Qian Zhuang and calculating the actual amount of silver taels. The two of them were busy for a while, and finally everything was arranged. Jin Ruoxin couldn't wait to come to Xiling Kingdom with Changfeng.

However, it is easier said than done, but there are many obstacles when it comes to implementation. Changfeng, as the young master of the Shadowless Pavilion, usually doesn't like to take care of things, but in those days, he went to talk to those rich businessmen about investment and cooperation every day.

Because, so much silver can't be smashed in the hand, it must be put into operation in order to earn more silver, so that the silver raised by Jiangnan Qian Zhuang can be alive and play the greatest role.

Jin Ruoxin gave advice to Changfeng behind the scenes, wrote a plan, calculated and wrote every day, and his hands were swollen. Every night after Changfeng came back, the two of them had to discuss until midnight, and Changfeng helped Jin Ruoxin rub his hands while reporting to Jin Ruoxin about the new problems he encountered outside today.

The two of them have a lot of discussions, although Changfeng and Jin Ruoxin have no experience in business, they are both smart people, and they found a few experienced shopkeepers to be staff officers, and they quickly got started. After making a few mature plans and successfully signing a few contracts, there is no need for Changfeng to come forward in person. The shopkeeper of the bank only needs to negotiate with the contract according to the content of the plan, there is nothing to bargain about, and there are certain standards and rules.

After nearly a month of busyness, Changfeng and Jin Ruoxin have taken care of the affairs of Jiangnan Qianzhuang in an orderly manner, and their business is gradually on the right track.

The main business is to lend money to credible merchants to earn interest, and then expand the business of Shadowless Pavilion in various places, or choose a location to open a new store, and make more money quickly. And these businesses are mainly in Jiangnan, and they have no plans to go to the capital to show off.

First, because they didn't want to attract the attention of Zhou Tianhong, King Ning, and the Lu family, and secondly, because the situation in the capital was changeable, and it might be chaotic at any time.
