Chapter 49: Making Money

And Zhao Feng's side, although he has purged the power of the imperial court and held the military power of the forbidden army in the imperial city, there is still one thing he is still trying to solve.

That's the question of money.

The treasury of the Great Wilderness Dynasty has long been empty after the dark box operation of the Queen Mother and Fan Shicheng, and most of the money has been pinched into the hands of these two people.

Although the current surplus can barely cover daily expenses, if there is an emergency, it will be all over.

So how to get money is the problem that bothers Zhao Feng the most at present.

"Mr. Zhao has been sullen these days, is there anything on his mind? If you can, you can tell the minions about it, and maybe the minions can help figure it out. ”

Xiao Yunzi looked at him with a sad face for the past few days, so he asked tentatively.

"I'm wondering where to get some money."

Xiao Yunzi is a trustworthy person, and Zhao Feng is naturally defenseless against him.

"Now that the treasury is empty, and the money is not in the hands of His Majesty, although there is currently military power, if there is a foreign invasion or some other change and there is a war, there is not enough money to support it, even if it has a large number of troops, it will inevitably suffer defeat."

"So before that happens, the problem of the silver has to be settled."

These words also stumped Xiao Yunzi, and he thought for a moment, "If you want silver......

"The slave remembers that in the past, the people followed the trend, and those women heard from somewhere that as long as they drank the ginkgo biloba leaves in the palace garden, they could live forever."

"Such rumors have led to the supply of ginkgo biloba in the palace, and the merchants outside have bought ginkgo biloba at a high price and then resold it, and many palace people secretly picked ginkgo biloba leaves and sold them out of the palace, making a lot of money."

"Of course, after this matter became a big problem, those palace people were all disposed of, but it is said that some people have counted that the ginkgo biloba stolen from the palace was sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Zhao Feng was also a little shocked after listening to the story told by Xiao Yunzi, a small ginkgo biloba leaf with the blessing of rumors can actually be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver?

It's too easy to earn, isn't it!?

Just as Zhao Feng was about to sigh, he had an idea.

That's right!

A simple thing can make people rush to it as long as it is added with some exaggerated publicity, then he can also follow this line of thought to solve the urgent needs of the moment.

After a quick brainstorm, Zhao Feng quickly thought of something.

"You go and prepare me a bottle of white vinegar, and then find paper, pen and candles, I will be of great use!"

Xiao Yunzi was also a little surprised by Zhao Feng's sudden request, but he still responded immediately, and soon prepared what Zhao Feng asked for him.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do with these things?"

Xiao Yunzi was puzzled, but Zhao Feng did not choose to explain directly, but dipped a brush in a little white vinegar, and immediately scribbled on the rice paper.

After drawing a few strokes, Zhao Feng dried the rice paper again, looking at the empty rice paper, Xiao Yunzi didn't understand what he was going to do.

"Is there nothing on this piece of paper now?"

Zhao Feng said with a little smugness, Xiao Yunzi looked at it carefully and shook his head,

"The prints are all dry, and I can't see anything."

"So what?"

Zhao Feng lit the candle, and then roasted the blank piece of rice paper on the candle for a while, and the traces that had disappeared slowly turned brown again and reappeared on the paper.

"This ...... Mr. Zhao, how did you do this!? ”

Xiao Yunzi was a little shocked when she looked at the change in the paper, "The traces that disappeared actually came out again?!" ”

"That's how it works, write with white vinegar and wait until the mark disappears and then roast it over fire, and the handwriting will reappear."

Zhao Feng said lightly, vaguely remembering that this was a small experiment he learned in science class when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here.

"But if I tell you that this is not white vinegar, but a magic potion that I have carefully developed, which can be reproduced by writing on paper and roasting it over a fire, do you think people outside will want to buy it and try it?"

Xiao Yunzi was shocked when he heard this.

What an empty glove white wolf!

A white vinegar turned into a magic potion!?

However, ordinary people really don't know that white vinegar has this wonderful use, and I'm afraid they will be shocked by the changes in this potion!

"Mr. Zhao...... You're amazing! ”

Xiao Yunzi only squeezed out this sentence after holding it back for a long time, but Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the problem that had plagued him for so many days was actually solved like this.

In the blink of an eye, it soon came the day when Zhao Feng and the three underground forces agreed to meet, Zhao Feng arrived at the Cuihong Mansion on time as promised, this time it was different from before, the three of them had been waiting here early.

"I've seen adults."

The three of them saluted Zhao Feng in a proper manner, and Zhao Feng waved his hand, which was still his usual style, straight to the point.

"I have a good thing to sell here, do you have anything like an auction house, I'm going to auction off the right to sell my good thing."

As soon as these words came out, Sister Yu and Li Yue's eyes were on Qian Qiang, and Qian Qiang was happy.

"Then you've got the right person! Contemptible and talented, his subordinates are in charge of the largest underground auction hall in the entire capital! If you tell me if you have anything you want to sell, you will definitely sell it for a good price! ”

Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't think that these three people would surprise him repeatedly.

"This thing is special, I'll go there myself."

Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said, "Is it convenient today?" If you can, do it now. ”

"Absolutely!"

Qian Qiang replied with a mouthful, "I'll take the adults there!" ”

After saying this, he immediately got up, and winked at Li Yue and Sister Yu, as if he had succeeded in helping Zhao Feng.

"This kid ......"

Li Yue was really a little speechless about his performance.

got into the carriage, and Qian Qiang was extremely attentive to Zhao Feng along the way.

"What kind of treasure are you selling? Do you have it with you today? I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but I even want you to go out in person! ”

Although he knew that Qian Qiang's enthusiasm was kind, Zhao Feng was not a person who talked a lot, and he really couldn't bear his enthusiasm.

"You'll know when you get there, I'm too lazy to say it a second time, just listen to it later."

"Okay!"

Seeing that he was rejected by Zhao Feng, Qian Qiang was not annoyed, and still had a happy expression.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

"Helper."

Qian Qiang's men opened the carriage and saluted him, and when they saw that he had brought back a stranger, they couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"This is the big guest of the day!"
