Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ— arrived at the European Cup, the sad fisherman always has to stay up late, book friends must be the same as me, I hope you pay attention to rest, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance! To emphasize, this is our festival, not a festival of sticks! Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—

If you were Pang Wanchun, and you suffered such a big loss in the hands of Xiao Ming, what would you do? Of course, it was to take revenge, and on the same night, several Mingjiao rebels who were taken in Kaifeng Mansion Prison were rescued by people who robbed the prison, and the matter was in an uproar, and there were also dead people.

After Xiao Ming knew it, he knew in his heart that this was coming for him, which showed that a large number of Mingjiao Duobaoguan masters had come to Tokyo, and they couldn't figure out that their every move was in the hands of others' eyeliner, because there were many irrelevant people at the entrance of the inn and the mouth of the alley.

Xiao Ming asked the tiger guards to be ready and ready to do it at any time, and Ding Jianpeng was also very worried about the current situation, and sent someone to send a letter to Jiming of Daxiangguo Temple, but he was told that Master Jiming was no longer there, and only said that the master continued to travel west.

Xiao Ming's current situation didn't dare to let Su Cai'er know, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would worry, and on the other hand, An Daoquan said that there was still Pang Wanchun's eyeliner in Richanglong.

Mingjiao dared to blatantly rob his own people, at least it shows that Pang Wanchun does not take the government seriously, but in order to deal with Xiao Ming, he will definitely think of other ways, because in terms of force, he can't beat Xiao Ming, if he goes all out to deal with Xiao Ming here, An Daoquan may still be relatively safe.

Although Xiao Ming is still a little worried in his heart now, it is always a trouble for Pang Wanchun of the Ming Sect to solve the problem, but on the surface, he doesn't care at all, because he is very busy, and there is a problem with the faΓ§ade that the Gu Clan's Refinery is looking for in the capital.

Lao Cai, the owner of the sewing shop, came to the door, and the price that he had said was good for 100 yuan, but now he stopped selling it, and declared that it would be sold for at least 200 yuan, which directly doubled.

Boss Cai is an old man with gray hair, rubbing his hands crampedly, standing under the hall of the living room nervously, Xiao Ming looked him up and down, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like the kind of profiteer who sat on the ground and raised the price, but why did he suddenly come to such a hand, it was incomprehensible.

"Boss Cai, please sit down" Xiao Ming smiled and looked very polite.

Boss Cai Nuo Nuo snorted and sat down next to the chair.

"Do you have any difficulties in the price of the store this time, but it doesn't matter, if it is reasonable, even if it is doubled, I will give it to you" Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, please drink tea"

"Yes, yes," Boss Cai took a sip of tea, but he choked and coughed, and a sickly bright red appeared on his face, he wiped the tea on his chest, and arched his hand at Xiao Ming.

"This big shopkeeper, it's not that the little old man is untrustworthy, it's really my unspeakable hardship, this shop is mine, but this land is someone else's, I have been sick in this body, the store is mainly my little girl is taking care of, business has not been good, so I want to sell the store out, so I can go to my relatives, but ...... Ahem, ahem...! ”

"Boss Cai, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry"

After calming down, Boss Cai continued: "I went to find the owner of the land, at the beginning we just leased the shop on his land, and now the shop is transferred, and the original rent can be taken over by the descendants, but he said that the shop leased by the descendants will definitely owe him the rent, it is better to transfer the land to me first, and I will sell it myself, I thought about it and it is reasonable, so I agreed, how do I know that he directly offered a hundred yuan!" ”

"Oh? How much was this rent set for you in the first place? ”

"Less than five dollars a year"

"Do you know how much he received from his land?"

"This area was a ditch ten years ago, and it has only gradually flourished in the last two years, and I heard that he only spent less than 20 yuan at the beginning!" Boss Cai said.

Xiao Ming thought for a while and said, "Boss Cai, you go to the account room to get 500 yuan first, and then bring me your deed and that person's land deed, is that good?" ”

"What...... What? Five... Five hundred! How can this work? The little second child has never taken advantage of others in business, and I am very grateful that you can agree to 200 yuan! How can I take so much of you, no, no......"

Although Boss Cai was excited, he was resolute.

Xiao Ming said: "Boss Cai doesn't have to excuse himself, I also do this to avoid trouble in the future, besides, if you join your relatives, you also need to be entangled on the road, I am very interested in the owner of this land now, and you will take me to see him later."

Boss Cai still insisted, but was persuaded away by Gu Xiaoliu, looking at Boss Cai's grateful face, Xiao Ming touched "It's almost 10% to 15% profit!" This landlord is really talented! ”

……

On the way, Boss Cai said to Xiao Ming, "The owner of the land is an outsider, and the people of our Great Song Dynasty call them 'Shuhu'."

A few people came to an ordinary house in the outer city, and Boss Cai called the door: "Boss Ai!" Is it there? I'm Lao Cai! After shooting for a long time, the door did not respond, and the neighbor opened the door and said: "Not at home, I have been in Shenglong Gambling House!" ”

A few people went to the gambling house again, looking for someone to inquire, Shenglong gambling house is also easy to find, came out and turned two or three street corners to arrive, after Boss Cai saw the gambling house, hesitated, obviously never been to this kind of place, in fact, Xiao Ming rarely came, except for the casino fishing people.

Xiao Ming nodded, a few people entered the casino, the casino was full of people, black smoke miasma, probably all casinos are a virtue, unless it is really like a gambling ship in later generations, that is a place where the upper class will play, but the general profit of the casino is amazing, and the income of one day can catch up with the income of the average average average person for a year, it is definitely a good business with ten thousand profits, Xiao Ming can't help but think a little lively.

After squeezing in the crowd for a long time, Boss Cai pointed to a person: "It's him", Xiao Ming looked closely, and saw that the person was dressed like a bookkeeper, wearing a robe in a short placket, and a sauce-colored silk scarf hat on his head, and was concentrating on watching other people's gambling money.

Boss Cai stepped forward and dragged him and brought him to Xiao Ming, who had a big hooked nose on his face, looked at Xiao Ming curiously, and heard that Xiao Ming wanted to buy his land, and immediately had a smile on his face.

"Aha! You're the one who owns it! Fortunately, it will be fortunate that the big nose will clench his fists.

Xiao Ming hugged his fists and said: "Aha, you are the landlord!" , I will be glad to be happy! What do you think? Let's find a place to talk about your land? ”

"Please wait a minute, just a while" After speaking, the big nose turned away, only to see him quickly haunt the various gambling tables, to the red-eyed gamblers to take away the copper money, it seems that many people owe him money, and he can also draw dividends in each game, sometimes a game is over, the big nose also loses silver to a few gamblers, but can get back more money from the dealer, after a while, the big nose will recover about fifty taels of silver and copper coins.

"I've kept you waiting, let's go," the big nose said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming, who had only recovered from his shock for a long time: "Oh, oh! Okay, let's go."

"Haven't asked your surname yet?" Xiao Ming asked with his fists clenched.

"My surname is Ai, Ai of wormwood, Ai Qili is under the big nose and mouth of Tokyo Bianliang accent, but this name made Xiao Ming think a lot, "Is it after Hu Ren?" Xiao Ming said in his heart.

Xiao Ming said to Ai Qili: "I see that Mr. didn't bet, but why do you seem to have money no matter if you win or lose?" What is the rationale for this? ”

Aiqili smiled and said, "It's just a small means, it's not worth mentioning, hehe!" ”

Xiao Ming knew that the other party didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he suggested going to dinner, Xiao Ming had a treat, Boss Cai didn't even say well, it should be his own treat, how to let Xiao Ming break the bank.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Today, I hit Mr. Ai at first sight, Xiao was happy in his heart, and naturally invited a treat, Boss Cai, you will accompany you."

Ai Qili smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Xiao Daguan, the villain believes that the "Yici Le Ye Sect" doesn't eat pork, nor does he eat the tendons of the thigh sockets of cattle and sheep, this is more troublesome, and it is not easy to find a restaurant in Bianliang City."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Ming immediately understood that this person was a Jew! I have long heard that there are descendants of Jews in Chinese mainland, but I have never seen it, and it seems that this one is the one in front of me.

The Jews of China originated in the Han Dynasty, and during the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Jews came to China with Persian caravans and settled down, these people professed Judaism and worshiped God, without idols, recited the Hebrew Bible, prayed three times a day, performed circumcision, and observed the Sabbath, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, the Turning of the Prayer and other festivals. Believers wear small blue hats, do not eat the tendons of the thigh sockets of cattle and sheep, abstain from eating pork, etc., and do not intermarry with "Gentiles". Later, under the influence of Han culture, he respected Confucius and Confucianism, was keen on official careers, and added ancestral halls to worship ancestors.

The name "Yici Le Ye Jiao" is actually a transliteration of the Chinese word "Israel", and the Aiqili in front of him has obvious Semitic characteristics, and the big nose has basically not been assimilated by intermarriage, and he is a typical Jew.

In the end, Xiao Ming found a restaurant close to Jia's gourd soup of Ge Ji fresh sheep, and with the consent of Ai Qili, everyone entered the restaurant, ordered some signature dishes such as stir-fried mutton chops, steamed fish in the Yellow River, mutton liver in sauce, stir-fried small tenderloin, etc., and served a pot of Xinyang spring wine, telling the "hot wine" who helped the hot wine not to wait, just go down to serve the "file" in the back kitchen quickly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several people went through the deeds and formalities for the sale and purchase of land, but Ai Qili said: "The contract still needs to be stamped with a person's private seal, because the real landlord cannot be regarded as completely himself."

Xiao Mingqi said: "It's obviously your name on the title deed!" How could it not be exactly you? ”

Ai Qili said: "I'm sorry, from an individual point of view, the landlord is me, and from the contract point of view, the landlord has another person, but this person is also me!" ”

Hearing this Boss Cai, Xiao Mingke understood, that is to say, Ai Qili bought this land as a personal person, and then after a period of time, he used another identity to raise the price and then buy the land in his hand, when the Song Dynasty government only recognized the handprints and seals of the civil sales contract, once and again, the price of the land in Ai Qili's hands will more than double, and the land can be rented out at ordinary times, collect some land rent, and when the time is ripe, you can also increase the value here!

Ai Qi also confessed, after getting his confirmation, Xiao Ming secretly picked a thumbs up, it is really high, in later generations, the real estate developers used such tricks to raise the house price step by step, anyway, the capital is just a number, and it is on its own account when it is poured back and forth, but the price of the house and land can rise on a rocket......

No wonder people say that Jews are very smart and are born to be good at managing money and making money, Xiao Ming really believes it now, and the Ai Qili in front of him is definitely a genius in the operation of this land!

"Mr. is a natural master of financial management, I don't know where you are in a high public office?" Xiao Ming asked.

Ai Qili shook his head and sighed: "The imperial court does not allow people like us to go to school, and if we can't get fame, how can we get an official position?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "How can Mr.'s talents be applied in the government, why don't I give you a good errand and let you operate thousands of funds to operate and make money, what do you think?" ”

"What? Yes...... Thousands of dollars? Is this true?

"Of course, if you agree, from today onwards you will be the big account of my firm, specializing in manipulating thousands of funds for me to make money, let's play the operation game of financial capital!"

……

This kind of thing is a great thing for Ai Qili, who is born with a keen sense of financial capital, and the two hit it off, Xiao Ming asked: "Mr. Ai can tell me now, what you did in that casino, right?" ”

In fact, this kind of thing is very easy to explain, Ai Qili is nothing more than betting on the big and small, and also lending to gamblers, betting on the big and small requires a very poisonous vision, and you can start after the dealer's rules are familiar, and at the same time you can also cooperate with the dealer to hedge against fishing, so Ai Qili has nothing to do is to wander around in front of the various gambling tables, calculating the law in his heart.

Xiao Ming admired this Jew even more, this guy is a natural financial talent! I picked up the treasure this time.

"Big shopkeeper, I want to ask, can this be usury?"

"Damn!" Xiao Ming said in his heart: "I know ......"
