readx;?Long Xiao: "I am absolutely assured, your operation is, I am still not good at Qianzhuang, what do you say?" Hu Xueyan: "The general money bank, they have a small amount of principal, are borrowed from other people's deposits, that is, the so-called eight jars and seven covers, back and forth to pour funds, we are different, you have injected 18oo million catties of gold, equivalent to silver is 18o billion taels of silver, if you do not digest it in time, it is not suitable to collect a large amount of deposits." ΩΩBesides, our money has spread all over five provinces and one city, and the number of silver tickets in the line is also comparable to that of no matter what, and the silver will continue to be deposited, and there is no need to worry about no deposit, you can rest assured."

Long Xiao also made sense when he heard it, the current Great Sui Dynasty, the common people generally save silver not for interest, but for insurance, the Sui Dynasty was not founded for a long time, only a few decades, people still have lingering fears about the turmoil in the country, and stable deposits are the first priority. It is those businessmen who are extremely rich, and they save silver not to make money, but for convenience, as long as Hu's money village has enough money to cash in and more silver bills to circulate, the people's silver will be deposited in the same way, even if it is a deposit with zero interest rate, the boss's surname will not care.

What Long Xiao didn't expect was that these salt chambers of commerce were so rich, and the 5ooo shops stored an average of 5oo taels of silver, a total of 2.5o billion taels, plus some sporadic deposits, just the money village in Shenwu County absorbed more than 3oo billion taels of silver, and also lost Hu Xueyan to manage well, and quickly opened up the situation in several provinces and counties, and pocketed the silver in time, otherwise, the annual interest would be subsidized by as much as 1.5 billion. It's good now, but the profit of the money village in Shenwu County is 1.5 billion taels per year, not to mention other provinces and counties. Therefore, the interest is very satisfied with Hu Xueyan's exhibition.

Long Xiao: "Xueyan, you run a money bank, I haven't told you about the New Year's salary, I'll tell you today, so let's do it, the annual profit is yours, what do you think?" ”。 When Hu Xueyan heard this, he just smiled, Lord Long, do you know what this year's profit is? Long Xiao was stunned: "How much?" ”。 Hu Xueyan: "This year is five provinces and one capital, the profit of the five provinces is 1.5o billion taels, the profit of the capital is 5o billion taels, and the total is 2oo billion taels of silver, you give me one percent, it is 2o billion taels, I think it's too much, I don't want so much, besides, what do I want so much silver for?" ”。

Long Xiao was taken aback: "There is so much silver? , I thought it would be hundreds of millions at most, it turned out that there was just so much profit, since there was a lot of profit, I should give you a percent", Hu Xueyan: "Lord Long, let's do it, I will temporarily receive 100 million silver every year, as for the future, when I retire and stop working, you can just send me back a part, okay?" Long Xiao really disagreed, insisted on his own opinion, and let Hu Xueyan make a profit, Hu Xueyan had no choice but to say: "Lord Long, okay, anyway, my silver is also in the bank, let's do this first, take 100 million taels a year as my own expenses, and then talk about the rest." Long Xiao saw that Hu Xueyan was also a real person, and it was not easy to argue, so he suppressed this matter and didn't mention it, and said it later, anyway, where the silver is placed in you, you can't run away, so let Hu Xueyan watch it.

On this day, Long Xiao was drinking tea in the yamen, and a servant came to report, saying that there was a lively Red Hall on Qinglou Street, so Long Xiao asked what was the excitement, and the servant said: "Lord Long, look at it, dozens of salt merchants are fighting, it's just a mess." When Long Xiao heard this, he was stunned: "That's okay, the officials, call the patrol and go to the Red Pavilion to have a look, isn't this causing me trouble."

Long Xiao led dozens of officials to the Red Pavilion, the Red Pavilion was already crowded, Long Xiao separated the crowd and walked in, and found the boss Li Chengyun; "Boss Li, what's going on? Why didn't I see you report the crime, if someone died, can you be responsible? ”。 When Li Chengyun saw that Lord Cheng of the county was coming, he said with a smile: "Lord Long, there will be no accident, these salt merchants are fighting for wealth, I wish they would fight, and they won't fight."

When Long Xiao heard this, he was puzzled, so he quietly sat down with Li Chengyun to see how these salt merchants were fighting for wealth.

It turned out that the Red Pavilion had recruited a group of new Qinglou girls, all of whom were young and beautiful, and coupled with Li Chengyun's deliberate operation, dozens of Red Pavilion girls were born, and among the four top brands, one wanted to break his body, and Li Chengyun went out publicly, which caused the salt merchants to snatch it. Today, more than 3o came, all of them were full of silver tickets, and they all wanted to bud the Qinglou girl who was ready to break.

Li Chengyun saw the mess, so he shouted: "Everyone, don't quarrel, today's broken head card is Hongyun, 18 years old this year, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is omnipotent, blowing, playing and singing is omnipotent, the key is that he has a special ability, that is, there is a strange fragrance on his body, is a rare incense girl, it is said, who can get her first time, this life is the head of good luck, and the wealth is inexhaustible."

As soon as Li Chengyun said this, the mess calmed down, and a salt merchant asked: "Boss Li, what do you say is the matter with the strange fragrance, or is it important to get her first time, and you have good luck, what evidence do you have, it won't be to defraud our silver, right?" ”。

Li Chengyun smiled and said: "How can I deceive people, it was a few days ago, an old monk fairy from Nanshan Temple came to the Red Pavilion to make a fate, I gave him 1ooo two pieces of silver, the old fairy saw that the girl of Hongyun looked strange, so he calculated a hexagram for Hongyun, and the hexagram said so." Everyone immediately asked, "Is it really fake?" Li Chengyun looked at Long Xiao beside him and said, "With the county lord here, how can I talk nonsense?" ”。 As soon as everyone heard that the county lord was here, and when they saw that it was indeed Long Xiao, everyone stopped shouting.

Long Xiao saw that Li Chengyun was talking about himself, and he had become a caretaker for the Hongguan Town, so he said to Li Chengyun with a smile; "You, Li Chengyun, what are you talking about coming in, I'm just here to see if you have anyone making trouble here, since it's not making trouble, then I'll go back." Long Xiao said that he was about to leave, but he was retained by Li Chengyun: "Lord Long, go slowly, you can look at the excitement, see how these salt merchants are bidding, it's also fun." When Long Xiao heard this, he was also bored in the yamen, so he sat down. Under the shouting of Li Chengyun, the bidding began again.

Li Chengyun: "The Red Cloud girl is broken, the price is 50,000 taels, and the price increase is 10,000 taels each time, is there anyone willing to bid?" ”。 A salt merchant raised his hand: "I will pay 60,000 taels, I hope you don't fight with me, let me go lucky, and touch the light of the red cloud girl." Another salt merchant laughed: "Qu Zihu, I want to get rid of it for only 60,000 taels, it's a pity, tonight, the Red Cloud girl is mine, and I will pay 1o thousand taels." This salt merchant suddenly raised the price to 1o thousand taels, and everyone was silent for a while, a top card, the highest price one night was 1ooo taels, even if it was the first time, the 1o million taels of silver were too ruthless, and some people were reluctant to do so, so they stopped raising their hands.

Li Chengyun saw this price, only 1o thousand taels, and his psychological price was not satisfied, Li Chengyun had already thought about it, the first time the Hongyun girl, she said that she would earn her 3o thousand taels, and there was still a difference of 2o thousand taels, Li Chengyun agitated and said: "It is said that the salt merchants in Shenwu County are rich, I saw it today, and no one dares to pass it for only 1o thousand taels, hehe." Li Chengyun's smile really aroused the dissatisfaction of the salt merchants, and one of the salt merchants shouted: "I will pay 150,000 taels, Boss Li, the girl of Hongyun is mine." Another salt merchant was not convinced: "You only have 150,000 taels, what kind of big-tailed wolf, I will pay 2o thousand."

At this time, the first one to raise his hand, the one named Qu Zihu, said: "I only earned 3o thousand taels a few days ago, and I don't want it anymore, I will give 3o million taels, I hope you don't fight with me, Qu Zihu is here thank you." Qu Zihu suddenly raised the price to 3o thousand taels, and sure enough, there was no competition. In addition, that Qu Zihu said first, saying that as long as he didn't compete with everyone, he would invite everyone to a banquet in Cuiyun Tower in the future, and everyone would not speak for a while. Li Chengyun saw that his psychological price had been reached, and he also felt that it was almost over, so he announced that Qu Zihu was the Oiran of the Red Cloud Girl, and he would monopolize the rain and dew tonight. When everyone saw that the famous flowers had masters, they dispersed in a hurry, even to see the excitement and left, of course, some of them stayed, and those who wanted to be chic in the Red Pavilion also quietly found their own good girls, and each ** lingered.
